MARRIAGE LoTTERY.-The Swedes
and Germans of Wisconsin have fun
ny way OF disposing of widows and
widowers, if the Green Bay Advocate
may be credited. 1t is said that there
were eleven widows and twelve widow
ers residing in Hollndtown, in that
county, and it was determined by the
community that eleven of these widow
ers should marry the disconsolate wild
ows. In order that it should be fairly
done and no one be permitted to take
his first choice, to the disadvantage Of
his fellows, a committee was appointed
and the names of the widows were plac-
ed in one box and those of the widowers
in another. At p. NJ. of the 9Th of
December the drawing took place, and
all the parties were disposed Of but one
man, who, although doubtless the hap
piest man in the seven counties over the
narrow escape which he had, yet the
committee are casting about for some
means, to supply him with partner,
advertising that if there are any widows
in the neighboring towns who would
like to take him, application can be
made to the president"

SERENADE OF THE GRANGER.

Oh come, my love, and live with me /;
And keep my cottage in the glen,
As patient as bumble-bee
And busy as setting hen.
Oh, rest beneath my fragrant bower,
Where sweet stramonium doth twine,
Cone, smell the gentle cauliaower
And Gull the mangel wurtzel vine.
All listen to the rural song
The pea shall wind his magic shell,
AS eche plaintively prolongs
The warble OF the pimpernel.
Beyond the vermicell's row
heard the bull frogs sigh again
The cackle of the Durham eve
The below of the Berkshire hen.
Oh, come, love, come! the morn is fair.
I'll celebrate the day with thee,
I'll merrily dig the Bartlett pear,
And shake the ruta-baga tree.
Oh, hump yourself, my lovely Poll,
And in the cause of anti-monop,
Well mulch the turkeys in the fall,
And graft the long clam on the hop.
NV sweetest am fond of muSh,
And thou will set out some for me,
Well early SOW the currant bush,
And tap the cranberry-jelly tree.
Well pull the wool from off the calf,
The cotton wood its fleece shall shed,
So at the winter will we laugh,
And gaily weed the oyster bed.
Well blithely hoe the winter wheat,
Well chase the eggs the squirrels lay,
And when the Bantam hog shall bleat
Well feed him with some clover hay.
All savory game to thee ~ bring,
Tie burdock knows my spear sharp,
I'll shoot the dolphin on the wing
And hit him on the pericarp.
Then come, my love, and live with me,
And beautify my lonely den,
AS patient as bumble-bee
And busy as a setting-hen.

THE MAD SroSE.-Mr. Joshua Glenn,
living In Powell's Fort, was bitten by a
dog, on last Friday week ago, and
day or two after it was discovered that
the dog was suffering with hydrophobia.
Mr.. Glenn became alarmed and immedi-
ately started to Fauquir county where,
it is said, maidstone could be had.
The dog had bitten him on the hand,
and by the time he arrived at the place
where the maidstone Is kept, the hand
and arm were terribly swollen. The
stone was applied at once and remained
fastened upon his arm, by its own sue
ton, for fourteen hours. 1t then fell
of, but, after being bathed in milk for
few minutes, took hold with new Wig
or and remained fastened for . short
time longer, when it again relinquished
its hold, the cure was pronounced CON-
ple:e. Mr.. Glenn has experienced no
inconvenience since, and expresses un-
bounded faith in the wonderful curative
properties of the maidstone. Hoodsloek

THE M1sER OF GREENWOOD LAKE
Jacob Hill, farmer worth plenty of
money and farm of the best land in
Orange county, n. Y, lives in a hole
on the eastern side of the mountain,
near Greenwood lake, with no compan-
ion but half starved dog. He owns
twelve head of cattle which have no
place of shelter, and no food except
what they may find in the woods. Last
winter Hill starved several cows to
death. The prospects are that all his
stock will share the same fate this win
ter. Hill is about forty-ive years Of
age. He has deep red beard reaching
almost to his waist. He boasts that he
cannot remember when comb touched
his hair, and that he has not washed for
years. The clothes that hang in tatters
on his body he. has not removed since
he put them on FIVE years ago. There
is not a button on any of his ragged
garments, cords and straps doing their
duty. He wears two greasy, napless
hats, and the remnants of two vests
The hole in which he livesss just large
enough to accommodate him and his
dog. His bed is collection Of rags
and straw, spread on fiat rock in one
corner of the hoyel. Underneath the
fireplace hole is dug, in which Hill
places his feet to keep them warm when
he is at home. His dog sleeps with
him. The snow and rain has free access
through the roof of the hut 1t is the
wonder of the neighborhood that the
miserly occupant has not frozen to
death ere this. Hill has wellto-do and
respectable relatives in the county. He
has lived in the manner described ever

WHY DON'T He DO ITi

When farmer knows that gate is
better, and as q time and labor saving
fixture, cheaper than set of bars and
posts, and without calling OH carpen-
ter he can himself make One-why don't
he do iti
When he has no other fastenings to
his gate and barn doors than stone
rolled against them, and in. single
evening after supper, is able to make
better one-why don't he do it
Or when he sees the boards dropping
from his barn and out buildings, and
like heaps of rubbish lying in piles about
the premises, and need only mailing on
again-why don't he do il
Or if he is afraid of the expenses Of
nails, and is always crying up the max
i'm of DR.. Franklin, 'save the pence,
and the pounds will take care of them
selves" and he knows the same DR..
Franklin also said that "many men are
penny wise and pound foolish" and he
does not care to think of the precept
contained in the latter-why don't he
do it!
If he knows that many Of his fields
woald be greatly improved by ditching
and by the removal of stumps and
stones-why don't he do it 7
And when he knows that his pasture
would yield nearly double the feed, and
of better quality, il the bushes were
all cut and subdued-why don't he do
itf
And if he can add fifty per cent to
the product of his farm by the use OF
gypsum why don't he do it
If he can enhance the value Of his
dwelling ten fold and the comfort Of his
family hundred fold by small expen'
diture-why don't he do it
If keeping good fences make gentle
stock and good neighbors-why don't
he do it?

the man, and dress the woman. | begin
to believe, that the purse is more po-
tent than the sword and pen together.
begin to believe that those who sin
the most during the week are the most
devout on Sundays.
begin to believe that man was not
made to enjoy life, but keep himself
miserable in the pursuit and possession
of riches
begin to believe the surest remedy
for hard times ane tight money market,
is an extravagant expenditure on the
part of individuals to keep the money
moving.

DEATH OF IsHMAEL DAI.-I'he death
of Ishmael Day, took place on Saturday
at 6 Z. NJ, of pneumonia, in the SD
year of his age. He had dined with his
daughter on Christmas day, after walk
ing from his house, No. 105 High ST.,
to her residence on light Street near
West st. He rode home and retired to
bed in good spirits. AT two o'clock
that night he was taken with congestive
chills, and died with pnemcnia as stated.
Mr.. Day, it will be recollected, shot n
Young Confederate soldier in Baltimore
county, July IL, 1864, during the raid
of Harry Gilmore into Marylnad. Mr..
Day had the United States flag flying
at his farm, and two young Cenfederates,
one of them son of Mr.. Field of this
city, a Union man, rode up and ordered
Mr. Day to take down that flag, which
he refused to do. The young Confed-
crate declared that he would take it
down himself, when Mr.. Day declared
if he did he wonld shoot down whoever
attempted it. Mr.. Day then shot the
young man when he was in the act Of
taking it down. Mr. Days house and
contents were burned soon afterwards.
Mr.. Day was subsequently appointed
an inspector in the Baltimore custom
house, which position he held at the
time of his death. He leaves a family
of FIVE daughters and two sons. The
deceased was a member of the Associa-
ton of Defenders, he having served in
the defense of Baltimore in 1912, when
attacked by the British forces.-Baifi-

WILD HORSES or TIE WEsr.-Large
numbers Of wild horses abound on the
prairies between the Arkansas and Smo-
ky Hill rivers. They are Of all sizes
and colors, and are the widest Of all
wild animals. They usually roam 10
bands of from six TO twenty, and will
run at sight Of a man two miles away.
A great many domestic horses as well
as mules which have strsyed away from
their owners have taken up with the
wild ones. After running with them
for awhile they become as Wild as their
untamed companions. Various methods
have been adopted to capture these abo-
riginal horses, but they have generally
proved fruitless. A scrubby colt or .
broken down mule is as general thing
the only reward for all the time, labor,
and expense in such visionary schemes.

passed off merrily, the young mans

feeling that they could spare themselves

dict, who had evidently been having
serious debate with himself, arose, took
his hat, and with nervous good

rather comfortably in the parlor; and
everything promised favorable for n

hearing tho household monitor proclaim

Dear Sir-Your Favorite Prescrip-

She has taken nearly two bottles and
has felt betterthe. past two weeks than
at any time in'the past two years. No
more periodical pains; none of that ach-
ing back or dragging sensation in her
stomach she has been accustomed to for
several years. / have so much conf
dehce in it that l would be perfectly
willing to warrant to certain customers
.ofjours who would be glad to get hold
of relief at any expense. l have tried
many Patent Medicines, but never had
any occasion to extol one before.
- Very truly yours,

EDWARD S. STOKES How lie LIVES
IN THE STATE PRIsoN.-Edward ).
Stokes said yesterday that he was be-
coming used to State prison lite, but
still felt that great injustice was done III
him when he was convicted. He thinks
that Recorder Hackett cruelty wronged
him when he appeared on the last trial
and testified for the prosecution. When
he reached the prison he was suffering
from fever and ague and asthma, and
was not able to do duty. He was put
in the hospital where there were many
typhoid fever patients. The prison
physicians prescriptions did him much
good, and as soon as he was able to
move about he asked for something to
do On the day of his entrance into
the place he was assigned to the posi-
ton of shipping clerk in the cigar man
factory, but this place was filled by an
other, then he asked for employment,
and he was made a bookkeeper lie
has sufficient work to do to occupy
much of his time. lie is permitted by
Warden Hubbell to take walk OIL the
grounds every day, and it is thought
that he will soon be himself again. He
has few visitors outside of his own fam
ily. He sleeps, eats, and works in the
hospital.-.V. y. Sun.
