WHAT BLIND Folks HAVE DONE
Here are a few specimens: Homer,
Ossian, Milton and Blackjack We're
poets. SanderSOn was a celebrated
mathematician and Lucasian profess
sOr at Cambridge (blind before he was
Il year Old.) Euler was d mathemati-
clan. Huber was author of a work OH
the habits of bees. NJ. Pfetfel, of Col
mar, was Il poet; his works fill six octa-
VO volumes. Miss Frances Brown was
a poetess of considerable excellence.
Holman travelled round the world.
William Metcalf was a builder of roads
and bridges. John Metcalf, of Man
chester, was a guide to those travelling
through intricate roads by night, when
covered with snow; afterward a projec-
tor and surveyor of roads in difficult
mountainous parts. Most of the roads
about the Peak, and near Buxton, were
altered by his direction. Milburn was
chaplain for sometime to Congress; is q
writer, le%Ctururer and traveller. Pres
colt vas a famous historian. Goodrich
was an excellent writer for the young.
Rev. }. Crosse was vicar of Bradford.
John Cough, of Kendall, was a famous
mathematician, and an accurate bOtan-
list and %zoologist. DR.. Moyes, of Kirk
aldy, was an itineraut lecturer on chem
lStry and-Optics.

ABOUT CHAMPAGNE,-Bad news for
champagne drinkers comes from France.
The vintage this autumn is said to be
little more than one-thirdt hatof average
years, and unfortunately, follows two
years BIZ no means remarkable for the
abundance of their yield. Very little
wine remains in stock, as the sales dur
ing the last two years have been I'M
usually heavy, especially of the first
brands. At E1ernay alone more than
eight millions have been sold in the last
year, the champagne merchants, in order
to meet the demand. selling, it is said,

near the village of Nislnes, where moth

A BILE(R) BusTED.-The ground,
Christmas morning, was frozen and cov-
cred with sleet and snow. Here was an
opportunity for amateur skaters that
could not be lost. There was one party
of young ladies engaged in it, together
with a boy about ten or twelve years
old. He wasaflicted with q boil, whereat
will appear in the sequel. The boil was
easy at the time; in fact, he was so alb
sorbed in the pleasure of skating thathe
forgot he had one. He wasteaehing the
young ladies how to skate. They were
standing still looking at him, as he ex-
hihited his agility. Butpride mustf fall
and suddenly down he came, feet to the
front and head to the rear. He scarcely
touched the ground before up he went
like a trap-hall. On rising he did not
resume an erect position, but started off
half bent, squirming along like a snake
with his back broken, and with both
hands clapped on the affected part, and
the tears streaming from his eyes, he
cried out: '.0hl I've busted my bile;
oh! I've busted my bile.n The ladies
vamosed.

been rainy, ON Christmas eve the ground
froze and sleet and snow fell upon it.
On Christmas morning the whole surface

and they remained SO up to Thursday
evening. The day was SO cold and
gloomy that there was but little life out
doors; but the eatables and drinkables
were in doors, and the weather did not

Our New CLERK.-Dr. w. A. Robert
son, elected Clerk of the District and
Parish Courts, at the recent election, was
indicted into office last Sa~turday-he
having received his commission as such.
We take this occasion to congratulate
the Doctor on his successful candidature.
Some two months before the election his
warmest friends were more than doubt
full about his succeeding; and at that
time the Democratic candidate was more
than confident of his own success. II
there had been but these two candidates
in the field the Doctors majority would
have been much greater; as it was, his
friends were agreeably disappointed at
the largeness of his majority, and his
opponents were astonished. The credit
is mainly due to the Doctor himself,
whose promptness, tact, and untiring
energy and perseverance overeame all
opposition to success.

DANGER FROM EATING NUTs.-As
this is the season for drinking cider and
eating nuts, it may not be out of place
to give q hint which may be useful.
Medical men advise that salt should be
taken with nuts, especially when eaten
at night. One time, says awriter, while
enjoying a visit from an EngIishman,
hickOry-nuts were served in the &

salt, stating that he knew of q case of q
woman eating heartily of nuts in the
evening, who was taken violently Ill.
