STICK TO THE BRooMsTIcK.--Di you ever see woman throw 6 stone at hen? It is one of the most ludicrous scenes in everyday life. We recently observed tho process-indeed, we paid more at tention than the hen did, for she did not mind it at all, and laid an egg the next day as if nothing had happened. In fact, that hen will know for the first time that she served in the capacity of tar get. The predatory fowl had invaded the precincts of the flower bed, and was industriously pecking and scratching for the nutritious seed or the early worm, blissfully unconscious of impending dan ger. The lady now appears upon the scene with broom. This she drops and picks up 8 rocky fragment of the Silurian age, and then makes her first mistalze-they all do it-of seizing the projection With the wrong hand Then with malice aforethought, she makes the further blunder of swinging her arms perpendicularly instead of horizontally -thereupon the stone flies into the air, describing an irregular elliptical curve, of the earth as far from the hen as the thrower stood at the time, in a course due west from the same, the hen then bearing by the compass north-northeast by half east. At the second attempt the stone narrowly missed the head of the thrower herself, who seeing that any fur ther attempt at the kind would be suici- dal, did what she might have done first, started after the hen with an old and fa- miliar weapon. The moral of which is Stick to the broomstick. k.-Providenc Herald.

THEN AND Now.-By an act of his Majesty James IT. the penalties attach ed to witchcraft were declared applicable to every woman who, by means of cos. metics, false hair, padding, stays, hoops. high healed shoes, or other feminine de- vices, should seduce and betray into matrimony any member of the opposite sex, and marriage contracted under such circumstances was pronounced null and void. Were such statute in force now-a-days there would be little need for Indiana divorces, and mothers-in- law would become the most transient of life's feetingills.

THE CASE OF FANNY HYDE Strange stories are current regarding the division of the jurors in the case of Fanny Hyde charged with shooting Watson. It is stated that ten of the men, for whose verdict the Court waited twenty-nine hours, were in favor of acquittal the other two being of opinion that the woman was guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. phe most singular part of the story is, however, that the former pleaded hard with the latter for a unani- nous verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree. for which the law pro- vides fine of $1, ,00O. This fine the ten jurors were willing to pay at once, 1n order to secure the release of the pri- soner. Ii this statement is true, it in- creases the romance of the case.

MOUNT VERNON.

NNAhNFA NV NhNhAsNs
Tho charming weather Of the past week has
attracted Thousands OF our citizens aud stranger
sniUurners to become for the nonoe part Of
the happy family Of that courteous steamboat
man, Capt. Frank Hollingshoad, and by means
Of his ttaunch little steamer, the Arrow, pay a
visit to Mount Vernon, The trip down the river
Is delightful, the company on the boat generally
agreeable and sOciable, while "Oapt Frank"
Is unTemitting In his endeAyOrs to make each Of
his patrons comfortable.
Arriving at Mount Vernon the visitor Is
agreeably surprised at tho many changes which
have taken place since tho retirement Of tho
former regent, Miss Pamela Cunningham, and
the accession to authority Of the new supeTln.
teudont, Col. Neil. HollingswOrth, we'll known
TO many Of our District people. This gentle.
man seems peculiarly adapted for the position
he nils from his pleasant manners and gentle
tsrtainlng demeanor Is doing much to render
Mount V ernOn not only place Of interest to the
tourist, but delightful pleasure resort 10 the
citizens Of the District.
The grounds surrounding tho mansion have
boen most carefully attended to. New gravel
walks are being laid throughout the estate, and
everything conducive 10 the comfort Of the Wis.
itOr aud the beauty Of the place Is being done.
Tho Interior Of the mansion has been put In
complete order. Tho rooms formerly used by
Miss Cunningham as her private apartment
are now thrown open to the public, who are
thus enabled to see the entire dwelling, instead
Of part, as heretofore.
II Is pleasant for these facts Ia reach the pub.
lio, and We congratulate the Mount Vernon As.

when lobster shakes hands with you, you
always know when II takes hold, aud Is eN-
COOdingly pleased when II gets done. They
have small features, and lay no claims u
good looks. When they lOcomole, they re-
semble small boy shuAllng of In bis father
boots. They are backward, very. They even
20 ahead backward. They occasionally have
u row like people, and In the melee lose q
member, but have the faculty Of growing out
another. The process Is patented both In this
country and 10 Europe, which accounts for
It's not coming into general use with the
human lobster, so 70 speak.
4 lobster never comes on hOre unless he Il
carried by force. They are afflicted with but
one disease, and that Ia bOlls. There u more
real excitement In ha poonlDg q whale, or In
having the measles than there Is In catching
HOLSTERS. The fisherman provides himself
with small hen coop and places In II for en-
ticers, several dead fish. He then rows HIS
boat TO the lobster ground (Which 10 water
and sinks his coop 10 the bottom, and anchors
years will do, and then goes home. When
he feel Iiko il again, say In the course Of a
week or 80, he goes back and pulls his poul-
try house, and II he has good success he Will
ind the game inside the coop.
IA an article Of food, the real goodness Of
the lobster Is In the plth. Very few persons
relish the skin, and physicians say II Is hard
70 digest We therefore take the lobster and
boil II until II is ready 70 eat. Nothing ID
better for collie than boiled lobster. II will
bring on a case when cucumbers have failed.
For sudden case, We advise them cTumbled
10 milk. Eaten at the right time, and In
proper quantities lobster stands second TO no
fruit known.
