Swiss churches are very peculiar, In
them the men are separated from the
women, and all sit on wooden benches
without backs. People never cough
during the services, though they cough
in one grand chorus when church is
over.
Governor Fenner, absenting himself
from church on fast day, was told by
DIR. Wayland that he did not obey his
own proclamation. Yes, | do, he re-
piled; II tell the people to meet in their

A duel was recently fought near the
Fair Ground. New Orleans, between G.
E. Whitney and George Drury, we'll
known gentlemen. The weapons used
we're foils. Drury received cut in the
right leg, and Whitney deep wound in
the left arm. They then shook hands.
Says Anna Dickinson Of a bath in
Idaho; you may laugh as much as
you please, and say | have no business
to gush at my age, but, girls, the delight
of a bath in that Idaho water is very
like the rapture you find in your lovers
tender clasp. I've tried both, and /
know.
Recent startling discoveries in Wash
ington, Louisville, Baltimore and other
cities make it evident that the crime Of
disinterring dead bodies and selling
them to physicians is much more com
mon than was generally supposed. I'm
less the criminals, when arrested, are
severely dealt with, it will be difficult to
stop the practice.
The Hudson will soon be a much
bridged river. Its navigable portion is
now spanned at LansiRgburgh, Troy,
and twice at Albany. The bridge at
Poughkeepsie will be pushed forward |
rapidly; the one proposed near New
burg is likely to be begun next season,
and a new one at Troy is under way.
The latter has been the victim of an odd
blunder. When TIE project was preached
an engineer was employed to draw par
tial plans. They were crude, and we're
simply intended to show the general
style and cost of the structure. When
the actual work was begun these imper-
feet plans we're used, and one of the
piers was located in the wrong place.
The mistake has been rectiGed, however,
and perfect plans drawn.
