New GAME FOR WINTER EvENINGs.--A
new game for winter amusement has been in
vented. 1t is called The Captive" When
the company has assembled and the festivi-
ties have reached the proper stage the ladies
select the handsOmest gentleman in the room
to be led into captivity. He must accept the
martyrdom and does so trembling. The fair
captors tie his hands behind his back and
bindtOld him, after which they intum him
that he must be cast into a deep, dark, dis
NAL dungeon" If he doesn't know the game
he shudders; otherwise, it is the hardest
thing in the world to get up a shuddcr The
dismal dungeon to which he is conducted
is stool in the centre of the room, upon
which he is TO sit and mediate upon his dire
fate Just when he thinks the impending
doom is about to burst upon his devoted
head, the awtully deceiving maidens change
the name of the game to Let me kiss him
for his moihcr'-and they kiss him. The
young mans checks are bOmbardcd with
rosy lips, bat he never tlinchcS, on the pain
of the bombardmcnt being repeated.

A woman only five feet four,
And one foot six Of that was --b0nnct.
Her head had been a tidy head
But Tor the big chignon upon i;
Yet all was fnilcd, disligurcd, SPOILED
And swamped by said chiSnon and-boan
On Sunday last She went to church,
And took her book as II 10 con II;
But all the TINE that She was there
She thought of little save hcr-bonnet.
The parson took winning text
And tried to liz attention on 1t;
But ali in vain, for ndught she cared,
EXCEPT the end of all'-the bonnet
let stay. there is Just one thing more
must include in this sad sonnet:
She sometimes thought OF women there
Who cnyicd her her mortal bonnet.
The luCklcss sermon, psalm and PRAYER
All went for nothing-out upon II.
For every other woman there
Was lost III hatred Of" that bonnet,
That morn her husband was non est
His shirt neck had no button on It;
For him she had no time to spare,
Intent alone upon her--bOnnct
NoN marx me well, whom it concerns,
Aud think ye humanity upon;
How could We make her such guy

The present navy of the United States is
much stronger than is generally supposed
According TO the Nary Register we have fifty
one ironclads, carrying l27 guns Of large
calibrc. Spain has only nine ironclads and
seven gunboat,. We have five tirstclass
wooden Irigatcs Spain has ten. Our navy
is widely scattered, but it would not take SO
very long to bring the different squadrons
home. The navy Of the United States con
/ istS, all told, of 90 vessels. The utmost eff
fort is being made To prepare those now in
harbor for service. BY the time Congress
has decided upon Spanish policy, we shall
have navy amply able to meet the immc

The New Haven Press holds itself rcspon.
slble for the truth of the following:
Mr. Mcndell, of St Louis, No. who has
been for the last few days staying with some
friends in the city, has most singular love
for insect life, and the intimate knowledge of
several members of the insect family, which
he carries about with HIM for the purpose of
diversion and study. In one of his pockets
Mr. Mcndell has domcsticatcd colony of
small brown ants, trained in their intelligence
to do some surprising things. He will place
a piece of sugar upon table and retire a few
PAGES from il, when by some manipulation
which his industrious pets understand the
meaning of, lie pcrsuadCs them to come out
and march in Indian file down the lee of his
pantaloons, across the floor, up to the leg of
the table, until they reach the sugar. The
ant. will, after each one has supplied itself
with a tiny gr0in Of the sweet commodity,
take up the line of march on the return trip
to MI Nendcll'S pocket, into which they
Will enter each one with It's load of sweets.
The same gentleman has also in his colltc-
ton ot insect pets a dozen or more OF green
bugs, with black stripes running around
their bodies, and which, he says, are pc
Culiar inhabitants of a species of acacla tree.
These bugs Will, at motion of their masters
finger, go through some remarkable aero.
battle performances, walking first on their
hind legs and then on their torelegs, the
hinder part of their bodies being elevated,
their only word of command, so 10 speak, he.
ing given bv the motion of their masters
finger. Mr. Mendell has for some years found
great pleasure in devoting his leisure hours
to pursuits of the kind above mentioned, and
ought certainly to write book.

Mr.. Samuel Bridighan, near Mineral
Point, containing about two hundred and
thirty acres. We understand that these
gentlemen will shortly place a steam saw
mill ON the premises and will then be
prepared to saw to order, White Pine,
yellow Pine, Spruce and Oak, and as their
mill will be convenient to Railroads they
will be able TO FIJI orders promptly. Both
the gentlemen of this firm are cnierprising
energetic business men Mr.. Camp has a
reputation throughout the county as being
one OF the most thorough lumbermen in
the business
The sugar orchard in which quite a
