PROPERLY PUNIsHED.-Down on Franklin
street Tuesday afternoon, one of those pests of
society, a gatherer of rags and other rubbish,
was detected by woman stealing rags and old
clothes from shed, where they had been tenn
porarily put during housekeeping. She de-
manded that he should return them, but he re-
fused and INDUCED in good deal of naughty
language. The woman went for him with ma
lures weapons tore his hair, scratched his face
and pummeled him as well as she could But
the rogue was too strong for her, so she called
on neighbor, and the two-there was not a
man within call-jolned their forces, and with
he aid of a clothes pole put him hors du COM
bat, and he was glad to restore the stolen prop
erty. That night neighbor lost piece of cot
ton cloth which had been put out on the line,
aud another misses rug which was accident
ally left out If the rag-picker was the thief
he needs more female discipline.
SHOE MANUFAcToRY IN DEERNG-We I'M
derstand that arrangements are being made to
establish shoe factory at Woodford's Corner,
the citizens of that village furnishing the CAPT.
tai necessary for the enterprise. 1t is thought
that it will be successful. One of our Union
street establishments is to carry on their bust
to them being superior to those in the city. If
the capitalists of our city are thus willing that
our manufacturing industries shall be carried
away from us in this manner, for want of suffi-
Gent encouragement, other places will reap the
benefit and we shall suffer accordingly.
Personal The numerous friends and pat
rons of Dr. Simon Fitch will be gratifed to
learn that he has decided to remain permanent
w in our city Dr. Fitch is one of our most
accomplished physicians and surgeons, and
during his recent visit in Europe received
marked attentions from many distinguished
men in his profession. We are pleased that
his professional skill is to be continued to oul
citizens.

A LEARNED MAGIoIAN.-Prof. Pepper,
a learned English naturalist now in this
country, in one of his recent lectures
gave quite an entertaining account of
the so called fire eaters. Fire, he said
might be handled with impunity if va
rious conditions be complied with, and
as he frequently remarked, ''ifyou know
how" Sometimes the skin is naturally
hard, thick, and callous, so that highly
heated substances may be held for some
time without danger; or non-conductor
might be intcrposed-a fact which he
illustrated by covering his hand with
charcoal and placing thereon a lump of
red hot iron Certain chemical substan-
ces, being applied to the skin, will,
when in contact with other substances
of high temperature, vaporize, forming
cushion of vapor which protects the
part from injury. To prove the fact,
the speaker, first dipping his hand into
turpentine to cleanse the skin, and then
into ether, coolly plunged it into a tank
of boiling water and removed an egg.
Then, as a concluding experiment, he
moistened his hand with strong ammonia
and dipped his fingers into molten lead,
hot enough to infame paper, aud finally
poured the molten metal on the palm
of his hand, scattering it about as if it
were quicksilver.

COMIC MISERIES.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

My dear young friend, whose shining wit
Sets all the room ablaze,
Don't think yourself "a happy dog
For all your marry ways;
But learn to wear sober phiz,
Be stupid if you can,
1t IS such very serious thing
To be funny man!
You're at an evening party, with
A group of pleasant folks
You venture quietly to crack
The least of little jokes
A lady does Mt catch the point,
And begs you to EXPLAIN
Alas for one who drops jest
And takes it up again
You re talking deep philosophy
With very special force,
To edify a clergyman
With suitable discourse:
You think you We got him when he calls
A friend across the way,
And begs you'll say that funny thing
You said the other day.
You drop pretty jeu-de-naot
Into neighbor's ears,
Who likes to give you credit for
The clever thing he hears,
And so he hawks your jest about
The old, authentic one,
Just breaking off the point of it,
And leaving out the pun!
By sudden change in politics,
Or sadder change in Polly,
You lose your love, or loaves, and fall
A prey to melancholy,
While everybody marvels why
Your mirth is under band,-
They think your very grief "a joke
You're such funny man
You follow upa stylish card
That bids you come and dine,
And bring along your freshest wit
(To pay for musty .wine)
You're looking very dismal, when
Ny lady bounces in,
And wonders what you're thinking of,
And why you don't begin!
You're telling to knot of friends
A fancy tale of woes
That clouds your matrimonial sky,
And Danish all repose,-
A solemn lady overhears
The story of your strife,
And tells the town the pleasant news:
You quarrel with your wife
My dear young friend, whose shining Wi
Sets all the room ablase.
Don't think yourself "a happy dog,
For al your merry ways;
But learn to wear a sober phiz,
Be stupid if you can,
1t S such very serious thing
TO be funny man

A REPANTANT BURGLAR.

The world of fiction scarcely contains
more thrilling chapter than an incident
which marked the life of Rev. Mr.. Lee,
Presbyterian minister of the village of
Watertown, n Y.
Mr.. Lee was sitting in his study, about
midnight, preparing a discourse to de-
liver to his congregation, when he heard
noise behind him, and became conscious
that some one was in the room. Mr.. Lee
exclaimed: What is the matter!" and
turning around in his chair he beheld
the grim face of burglar, who was
pointing pistol at his breast. The ruff
far had entered the house by a side win
dow, supposing all the occupants were
locked in slumber.
"Give me your watch and money"
said he, ''and make no noise or [ will
fire."
"You may put down your weapon, fer
I shall make no resistance, and you are
at liberty to take all the valuables pos
sess,'' was Mr.. Lees calm reply.
The burglar withdrew the menacing
pistol, and Mr.. Lee said
81 will conduct you to the place where
my most precious treasures are placed. :"
He opened the door and pointed to
the cot where his two children lay slum-
bering in the sweet sleep of innocence
and peace.
''These," said he, 'are my choicest
Jewels. VIII you take them %
He preceded to say that as minister
of the gospel he had few earthly pos
sessions, and that all his means were
devoted to but one object-the education
of two motherless children. The bur-
glar was deeply and visibly afflicted by
these remarks. Tears filled his eyes,
and he expressed the utmost sorrow at
the act which he had been about to COM
nit.
After few remarks by Mr.. Lee. the
would-be criminal consented to kueel and
join in prayer; and there in that lonely
house, amid the silence of the midnight
the offender poured fourth his penitence
and remorse, while the representative Of
religion, of peace, and goodwill told
him to '.go and sin no more Such &
scene has few parallels.
