A FEELING TRIDUTE TO "PUB. Docs. -
a Philadelphia editor thus relieves his
mind on subject familiar to all newspa-
per offices, the inevitable Pub. Doc. I'VE
owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for the
latest patent office reports. We already
have sixteen hundred of these Interesting
volumes in our little library, but they hayo
been read and re-read so many times thai
we know every one of them by heart. This
new volume came opportunely and CRATE
fully on Christmas morning, and that night
we gathered our little family around the
fire and read it through to them. The ar-
fecting tale entitled Improvement in
Monkey Wrenches' seemed to touch every
heart, and when we came to tue climax Of
the little story about Reversible Peboards'
there was not dry eve between the front
door and the stable. Daring the reading of
the piteous narrative entitled Gum Wash
ers for Carriage Axles,' the whole family
gave expression to boiSterous emotion. aud
the hired girl was so much excited that she
lost her presence of mind and went around
to her mothers inadve rtently with six lbs.
of sugar and butter kettle full of -four.
and came home intox icated. We can new
es sufficiently thank Judge Kelley for the
enjoyment furnished us. The
memory of that happy evening will linger
In our minds very much longer than that
hired girl ever fingers when she lights on
a substance which she thinks will suit the
constitution of her aged parent

same year he was elected TO the Legislature
of Vermont and served during the session,

tee. His professional success in California
was great, not only bringing rich pecunia-
ny rewards but, after one defeat, elevating
him TO the Chief Justiceship of the Su-
preme Court of that State. His health had
been poor for two or three years, and his
death was not unexpected.

Senator Patterson of New Hampshire Is
silent in regard to the charges made by
Ames. lie stands convicted by his own
signature, OF no less a crime than falsehood
and perjury. He denied that he had ever
owned any Credit Moblier stock, and
swore that he had never received one cent
of dividend from it. And yet he both own
ed stock and received large dividends, and
these facts are proved by receipts over his
own signature and finally letter to Cakes
gan, with the evident purpose of having
Ames swear falsely in order TO conform to
bis own false story. New Hampshire feels
herself disgraced by his conduct, and the
Republican papers of that state call for his
speedy trial and expulsion.

The Governors niece, Miss Luna L. Ed
son, who had lived for many years in his
house, was absent at the time, being on
visit TO Burlington, VT A Geographic dis
patch was sent TO the lady whom she was
visiting that the news might be broken to
her gently, but, although this was done in
the kindest manner, the young lady was so
overcome by the shock that she became I'M
able to swallow anything or to sleep. She
could not start for Woodstock that evening
as the last train had departed; but next
morning the lady escorted Miss Edison, by
rail, TO Woodstock, the latter taking vio-
lent chill on the road. Miss Edison, on her
arrival at her uncle's, was just able to kiss
the liieess features of her aunt and retire
to bed, where she lay, gradually sinking,

Her mother, who was sister to Mrs. Con-
verse, and had long lived with her, worn
out with watching and grief, thereupon
took to her bed, and died on the LIST of jan
uary. And thus Governor Converse, who
is universally loved and respected, has
been bereaved of his entire family. He has
no children. - Exchange.
