EXTRAORDINARY Story.

In village not far from Berlin an old
couple lived very quietly upon their little
property. Both had carefully purchased
their collins some years ago, as is often the
case among country folks. The collins
were placed in u stable and were used as IA
receptacle for different things, especially
for storing up baked fruit and other arti-
cles intended to be kept for winter use.
Not long ago the old man died suddenly.
The son who was soldier, QuarteTed at
Berlin hasted at the summons to pay the
last respects to his fathers remains. In
thu meantime the mother had, with the
help of another son who lived with her,
put all the articles together in one of the
collins, and in the other had duly placed
the mortal remains of him who for so
many years was the partner of her life
long journey. The coffin was carried to
the grave by the hands of stout country
youths, and followed 10y the sorrowing
relatives and sympathizing neighbors,
while the bells tolled out their melancholy
drge. The following day the son had to
return to the garrison. The anxious moth
er wished to give him some of the fruit
&C., that was packed away to take with
him on his journey, and on going to the
remaining coffin for that purpose what
was her horror to find the body of her
husband. In the confusion of the mo-
ment the wrong coffin had been borne to
the grave, and now there remained moth
ing else to be done than to dig the first
coffin up again and bury the dead body,
while a second funeral Grafton had to be
pronounced by the village pastor.

Seventy thousand Greet Grant at Boston.

The Boston correspondent of the New
York Herald describes the reception eX-
tended to Grant and Wilson at the Boston
Peace Jubilee Oh the Goth. In anticipa-
ton of the event the Coliseum was filled,
and full 10000 persons shouted them
hearty welcome.
Here is the correspondence story:
The vast audience that had gathered to
meet General Grant filled every available
space. Viewed from the parquette there did
| not seem to be Il vacant seat in the vast au-
ditorium, while the aisles were crowded
| with people. The dresses of the ladies lent
remarkable brilliancy and freshness to the
scene; gay ribbons tuttered over fair faces,
| and the flowers in the hornets made the
parquette bloom like q rose garden. From
an early hour the audience had began 10
assemble, in spite of the threatening state
| of the weather, and AS the day advanced II
became evident that the Coliseum would
be for once decently filled. Few, if any,
however, looked forward to the immense
gathering which actually took place.
After several dissappointments Il pro-
longed cheer was heard family and then
coming nearer, the musicians being already
mustered on the platform, and, as a loud
huZza rent the air, Gilmore gave the signal
TO the band,

The summer session of the Masonic Fee
male Institute of this place has just closed
with grand and successful exhibition and
examination. Miss Jennie Gray, the love-
ly and accomplished Principal of the In
stitutu, deserves more credit than can be
given her for the manner in which she has
instructed her pupils.

gree of perfectness had been attained as in
this. 1t is almost useless to attempt to
partieularize among the young ladies who
attended the school, where all are so near
perfect. Miss Alice Woods3a took the
first prize on general examination, but she
had to work it, for they were all close to

present and delivered AN address, which

Did Paul Have a Wife /!

1t was an early question whether the
Apostle Paul was married. The passage
in the epistle to the Corinthians in which
he speaks of himself as upencumbered
with domestic cares, does not preclude the
notion that he might have been widower
docs not even prove more than that he
went on his missionary journeys alone.
On the other hand, he speaks of his assent
to the death of Stephen, and of his COM
mission from the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and powers that could not well have been
exercised by a man who was not MEM
Der of the council. But we are expressly
told that this great assembly of the Jews
included only fathers, to secure merciful
Interpretation of tue law. An early eX-
PLANTATION, too, of the true yoke fellow"
at the church to Philhppi, whom he bids
to labor to reconcile or assist Enoda and
Syntyche, recognizes the wife of the Apos-
tie in the phrase. The episte was, it
may be said almost certainly, written
from Rome, and during the time of that
Imprisonment in which the perils of the
Apostles situation were aggravated by
sorrow, and ultimately the desertion of
many among his friends.

Bad Behavior of the Big Drum at Boston

The fate of the great drum ought to be q
warning to Mr.. Gilmore hereafter. This
ilustrious instrument was built in Maine,
and is about the size of small bed room.
When it was done a side of the factory had
to be taken down to permit its removal. 1t
was sent to Boston on an ocean steamer,
and was drawn through the streets in tri-
umphal procession by four prancing steeds,
followed by the acclamatons of the popu-
lace. Gorgeous patriotic and artistic de-
vices were painted all over it, and a place
was arranged for it in the center of the
great orchestra. Polyphemus himself could
not have struck both heads of this instru-
ment at once but the drummer had a
place ut one side where he could just reach
up and strike it in the middle. When the
band came to Tehearse, however. an I'M
expected trouble was discovered. The
| drum had magnificent tone, but it would
| not keep time. The vibrations were 50
! long in getting across that mighty skin
! that the drummer, though never sc
prompt, seemed always "a fraction of a Sec
ond behnd-hand. The voice was like the
voice of thunder, but, also, like thunder
it came some time after the stroke. O
course the other instruments would no
wait for it, and you know when the drum
is perpetually trying to catch up with tn
fiddes and perpetually not doing 1t, TIN
result can not be described as euphonious
So the drum was taken away and huns
over the south gallery.

The Battle for Bread.

One of the results of fine and extern
sive wheat crop is the cheapening of bread
stufts. The yield of wheat this year will
be large and the quality excellent, and in
consequence Messrs. Noel & Platter, the en-
terprising owners of the Jackson Mills, ad-
vertise through our columns to-day, that
they will sell flour of all grades at a reduc-
ton of $3.50 per barrel from present rates.
This will be good news to the public and
cause demand for the article, enabling
as it will, many poor people to have nice
"old-fashionedn biscuits upon tables here

Boots are said to have been invented by
the Carians. They were first made of
leather, afterwards of brass or iron, and
were proof against both cuts and thrusts.
1t was from this that Homer calls the
Greeks brazen footed. The boot only COW
cred half the leg; some say the right leg
which was more advanced than the left,
it being advanced forward in an attack
with the sword but in reality it appears
TO have been used on either, and some
times on both. Those who fought with
darts, or other missile weapons, advanced
the left leg foremost; so that in such cases
this only was booted.
Boots were much used by the ancients,
either for riding Oh horseback or walking
The boot was called by the ancient Ro-
mans Ocred by the writers of the middle
ages greUa. gGnl6erid, 6ainbergG, bender
ga, or 6eIlbdrgo.
The Chinese have kind of boots made
of silk or fine stuff lined with cotton, a
full inch thick, which they always wear al
home. THESE people are always booted
and when visit is made to them, if they
happen to be without their boots, theil
guests must wait till they put them on.
When boots first came into fashion, &
pair was presented to q worthy mayor in
some part Of England. He examined
them atsentiyely, and concluded they
wsre O new kind of baskets. According
ly, when he went TO church the mex
Sunday, he slung one around his mech
and put his prayer book into il. Hi
wife used the other to bring her market
ing in.
