qheo. w. Lott, Esq. has been recon-
inended for appointment to the vacant
position, and it is our opinion that
his selection would give very general
satisfaction. Mr.. Lott has taught
school in this town fer something
more than a year, and bears the rep
utation Of an intelligent, upright and
refined gentleman. It is necessary
that there be Supervisor Of Registra-
ton to conduct the town election
which has been ordered to take place
on the second Monday Of May next,
and we hope in our next issue to
chronicle the appointment of Mr.. Lott.

A QUEER TRICK.--Our foreign ex-
changes say that an American adventu-
ress, giving her name as Maria Grain
dorge, has been arrested in Paris, on the
following charge Of impudent and inge-
NOUS swindling:
She appeared very we'll dressed, and
with a handsome baby in her arms, at
the house of wealthy Parisians, asking
to see the proprietor. AS soon as she
was admitted to his presence she would
rush at him, exelaiming:
Traitor! wretch villain have |
found you at last ?'
At the same time the handsome baby,
having been trained for that purpose,
would extend its little arms toward the
astonished gentleman and cry:
a" Papa ! dear papa ~
1t may be imagined that "papa" pre-
ferred to give the sWindler some money
in order to make her leave the house.
When she was arrested at her residence
in the Rue Deviyer, no fewer than seven
trained babies were found in the house,
also 5000 to 10000 francs in money.
Mile. Graindorge upon being closely
pressed by the examining magistrate,
confessed that her real name was Oaks (;
that she was native of New York and
that she had been before at the st. Lazare
prison. The Paris Assizes found her
guilty, and she was sent for seven years
10 New Caledonia.

Cost OF THE VIENNA ExHIBITIoN.-
From the report of recent proceedings in
the lower House of the Austrian Reichs-
rath, we find that the coming exhibition
at Vienna is to cost the large sum of $S,-
$4,000. The scheme was an idea of Bar
an Schwarz, Director General of the Ex.
hbition, who has carried on the work
without calculating the cost. A grant
of 50, ,5OO,00O has been made by the House
at the beginning of the work, and it is
now found that 81 4,850,000 more will be
required. The Director General is en-
thu iastc in believing that the Exhibition
will yet result in a surplus but the Lon
don Times correspondent points out
that to produce such a result would pre-
suppose at least twenty millions of visit
os. The supplementary credit of ST.
$4,000 is only to be granted by the FL
nlncal Committee of the Government
on condition that the management Of the
affair is taken out Of the hands of Baron
Schwarz.

TO become known as poet"
We think the authoress will become
celebrated as poetess," remarked the
young lady pertly, with marked en-
phasis, on two words of the sentence.
"Oh-ah," replied the old gentleman,
looking thoughtfully over his gold spec
tacles at the young lady. 81 hear her
sister was quite an actress, and under
Miss Hosmer's instruction will undoubt-
edly become quite sculptoress."
The young lady appeared irritated.

gentleman, with gravity, sis fortunate

the humbest teacneress, unusual talent
is shown. There is Miss Harper, who,
as chemistress, is unequaled, and Mrs.
Knowles has already a reputation as an
astronomeress. And in the department
Of music few can equal Miss Kellogg as
a singeress."
The young lady did not appear to like
the chair she was sitting on. She took
the sofa at the other end Of the room.

to himself "those White sister are very
talented. Mary, understand has turned
her attention to painting and the drama,
