SYNDICATE.

Died in Sandgate, on the evening Of
the 9th inst, Joseph Snow, aged "a years
one month and &c days. The deceased
has been a man of remarkably good
health until the past two years. Since
that time, bis intellectual and physical
powers have been gradually failing until
the time of his death. lie was resi-
dent of this town for about 10 years and
has been an active member of the Metho-
dist church for nearly fifty years. The
deceased was quiet, unassuming man,
and although never recognized as lead
ing business man in town, yet he was an
honest and worthy citizen, always ready
to visit the poor and unfortunate in sick
ness, and in his humble way, those who
were in ahliction, and on several oc-
casions he bias ofliciated at the funeral of
those who were unable to procure the
services Of a clergyman. As citizen
and neighbor he was respected, and
his death has removed from his town an
other of the old landmarks that are so
rapidly passing away.

FIVE WIVES, AND ONLY
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
OLD.
A Lowell Mass dispatch of the

A Lowell (Mass.) dispatch of the
9th says:
"a. gay Lothario of a mormon
outside the circle of the Saints is be-
ing sought for by our police. Da-
vid Copp, native of Pierpont, N. FL.
22 years old, of hobby appearance,
was united in the matrimonial bonds
by the City Clerk, four weeks ago,
to a respectable young lady with
whom he had short acquaintance,
chiefly through his friends and at
tending church with her. He was
Jealous of his love and persistent that
she should be his wife. She consent
ed, but soon after had cause to doubt
his fidelity. She demonstrated with
him, and he humbly promised to do
better. But, alas, yesterday the
wife Of four weeks caught him at a
boarding house, and in company
with a young lady, alleged also to be
"a wife, whom he has married since
the former. Developments show
that he has probably been married
five times, once in Canada. His
first wife was his niece, and some
time deceased. Getting knowledge
that his actions were reported to the
City Marshal, he left about ten min
utes~before the officers arrival, and
has noe yet been found.''

NOVEL APPLICATION OF
PHOTOGRAPHY.

The applications Of photography
are certainly very various. One OF
its most recent uses, as pointed out
by the Journal Of the Photographic
Society, has been to aid army tail
ors in cutting the new-fashioned tu-
MICS which are to be worn this year
by all regiments. Formerly it was
the custom to forward to each mas
ter-tailor of every English regiment
a pattern coat, showing the altera-
tons to be made, together with in
structions as to the manner in which
the lace and trimmings varied in the
uniforms for the different grades.
Such proceeding was necessarily a
costly one; for probably some two
hundred pattern tunics were required
for transmission to every battalion in
the service. Instead of this, but
one garment Of each sort has been
made; and this having been photo
graphed in three different positions,
copies have been distributed through
out the country. In this way, Of
course, every information is afforded
to the regiment, without any great
expense being incurred 4; and instead
of complicated instructions about the
depth of the lacing and style Of trim
ming upon the tunics Of sergeants,
corporals, drummers, pioneers, etc.,
the master-tailor receives three sketch
es which show at a glance the whole
nature Of the alterations and modifi-
cations. In the same way pictures
have been taken Of soldiers wearing
the new vaIise equipment, which is
to take the place Of the old KNAPP
sack.

INTELLIGENCE OF THE
HORSE.

Some Of the stories concerning the
intelligence of horses which are now
going the rounds are rather hard to
believe; for instance, the case Of a
Western inebriate whose faithful
horse helped him out of the gutter
and steadied him on his way home.
An Iowa City paper relates that re-
Gently hostler in that city gave his
horse an unprovoked blow, where
upon the horse took his forearm in
his mouth, and holding it in a firm
grip between his incisors, bent over
him until he lay on the ground, then,
without letting go his ''hold," pick
ed him up, then shook him again,
then laid him down and picked him
up, and followed that discipline with
another shake. When after repeated
shakes and levelIing discipline, the
poor fellow succeeded in extricating
his arm, it was severely mangled
with the teeth Of the malicious chas-
tiser. and the aid Of a surgeon was
called into requisition to dress bis
wounds.

AN OPINION.

The Boston Commonwealth, an
independent paper, and one Of the
ablest in the country, dishes up the
two candidates for President as fol-
lows:
eve are rather glad that the con-
test is to be simpli6ed to two candi-
dates only, Grant and Greeley. II
it is, as has been suggested, only a
contest between the great G. and the
little g, we know intuitively which is
which. The great G never could
throw himself into the arms of dis
loyal and rebellious party for the
sake Of party preferment; on the
contrary, the great G was modest in
asserting to his first nomination,
satisfied with the honors he had won ;
he was Indifferent to the second nom
ination, which the unanimous voice
of the national convention said should
be overcome. He has conserved the
interest OF the country through his
first term, dealing wisely with the
finances, and withholding no word OF
act to promote national justice and
establish universal liberty. If it
shall prove, as we anticipate, that the
other g will come out of Baltimore

his personal and professional charac-

The officiating minister was in the

inevitable flight of time but the ex-

CHICAGO HOTELS. Six frst-class
hotels are in process of construction
in Chicago, the aggregate cost of
which will reach over $5,0OO,OOO.
Of these, the Grand Pacific is the
largest, and will cost million or
more. Potter Palmer's magnificent
caravansary, on State and Monroe
Street, while being somewhat small
erin size, will far surpass the Pacif-
ic in splendor, beauty of architecture,
and general appointments. Mr..
Palmer will expend upward Of three
million of dollars on his grand pro
ject, and means to make it the finest
and most complete hotel in the
World.

A wonderful escape is reported
from Bilston, in South Staffordshire.
A miner was shut up in pit, when
there was a tremendous fall Of coal,
and soon after the pit was quite
flooded with water. It was thought
that even # the poor fellow had es-
capped sufocation from the coal, his
death by drowning was inevitable,
Yet, after many hours Imprisonment,
the man was taken out alive and I'M
hurt. He was strong enough, too,
to walk home to his wife and chill
dren, which he insisted on being al
lowed to do. To those supposed be-
reaved ones, his appearance seemed
literally that Of one who had risen
fromth dead. Their joy and amaze
ment may be readily conceived, since
no case Of deliverance, under like
circumstances, was ever before
known at Bilston.

an unwilling fair one last week, but
she became angry and bit his cheek.
He attempted to return the compli-
ment, but the pain Of the bite was
so intense that he tainted, and the

swollen that the surgeon has decided
to burn the flesh with caustic and

belong to the first families in the

VALUE OF MILK.

Statistics show that the value of
the annual products of milk is near
Iy equal to the value of imports for
the year ending June 80, 1871.
Milk consumed as food, at three cents
a quart, is worth annually 1915, 900,
600; butter, $195,00O,00O; cheese,
$29, 100000; condensed milk, and
whey and buttermilk, used in raising
pork, $4,000, 1000, making total
Of 5000, 100000. The imports of
all kinds are worth $52O,00O,OO0.

to alleviate the distress Of the agri-
cultural laborers by procuring them
better situations in other parts of the
country. For certain John Web
Der, who was working in North De-
Won for s shillings a week, he got a
place at Is shillings, in Lancashire
Webber gave his employer a months
notice, and then sold his furniture,
and was about leaving, when he was
arrested on a suit for breach of con-
tract, and brought before two Judges,
one of whom was his ex-employer
and his accuser. The other magis-
trate, however, presided at the trial.
It was proved that the months notice
had been given, and that Webber
had been employed by the week.
Nevertheless, the luckless laborer
was fined FIVE pounds. After the
decision was rendered, this Devon
shire Dogberry abused Canon Girdle-
stone, in unmeasured terms, for his
efforts in behalf Of the workingmen.

The Town Pauper.
BY SARA FRANCES PAGE.

Virginia Wayland was left an orphan
when an infant, and as no relatives or
friends claimed her, she was taken to the
aims house. When at the age of eight
years, she commenced attending the viii
lage school.
As any one would expect, the schol-
ars Stunned or ridiculed her; and if
anything was lost or soiled, or there was
trouble with any of the scholars, the
guilty one was surely said to be Virginia,
and Virginia would receive the punish
ment which should have been appropiat-
ed many times to another. When she
had attended the school four years, she
was called by every one the worst schol-
ar" and parents cautioned their children
to avoid her society, and trembled for
their safety when at school for more
than one child had been the victim of
her passion, which they had aroused by
i'll treatment.
One beautiful summer morning when
the sun was shedding its effulgent rays
far and wide upon the fair earth, Virgin
ia was ON her way to school, with her din
ner basket on her arm, when at the base
of hill, where brooklet meandered
and bubbled along, she stopped to rest
under huge oak tree.
az wonder what have got for dinner
to-day ?" she queried, lifting the piece of
newspaper that lay over her basket
Her dark eyes flashed, and her lip curl
ed scornfully, as she took out two cold
potatoes and slice of fat boiled pork.
She was in the act of throwing them in
to the water, when a great shaggy New
foundland dog came and looked wish
fully at the food, and into her face as
much as to say, If you don't wish for
it, please give to me-" She gave it to
him, and he devoured it eagerly. "I
suppose it is school time," she spitefully
calculated. "Oh / wish l was dead.
wish / had the courage to drown N.Y.
self; !" and after embracing the dog, she
