Sheffield No. 3.
 You ask for the corroborating facts COT corning the sheep story, and demand the whole truth in the matter. Your occasion al correspondent was not all eye witness to the facts of the story, so cannot take oath to the truth of his statements, yet he is un- willing to admit it as a mistake. He may have been mistaken in some of the sm aller circumstances of the case, but the story was one well circulated hereabouts for months before it went to print, and many noW 6eliece it to have taken place as stated I only gave you common report as 1 heard it. But why should any one deny this statement? He accused no one in particular: Surely the 'coat must fit somewhere! He did not intend to assert that this happened in South JFsster7, Shelf field, that was msprint, so the farmers need not feel so badly there as no one in tends to injure that worthy community He would be glad to believe, # Ae could, that the Sheffield sheep story was fabric from his own imagination, and when he is con- vinced of his error. he will acknowledge it as such.

An Educational meeting held at this place Monday afternoon and evening, was we'll attended, and was exceedingly inter- esting. Addresses were given in the after noon by Rev. Dr. Bodwell and Secretary Northup. In the evening Dr. B. lectured on England where he has resided fourteen years......Some few days ago. two brothers aged respectively twelve and ten years were enjoying a family quarrel, when the younger getting the better of the elder, the latter determined to leave, remembering probably that,
 ''He who fights and runs away,
 Will live to fight another day.
 He went home, attired himself in his hol- iday clothes, and came down stairs, only to find the door locked and himself prisoner. This did not discourage him however, and he returned to his room, opened the win dow, descended by tree and left for parts unknown. After a weeks soiourn with friends in another part of the state, he re- turned to his home, a second prodigal.. Quite an amusing incident occurred here short time ago. A gentleman having some nuts, and wishing to procure a nut cracker visited the stores in this vicinity for that purpose. At the first store on inouiring if they had nut crackers, he was told they had barrel of milk crackers if they would answer as we'll. He next inquired at the drug store and was asked to explain the difference between nut and butter crackers At the next he was asked how many pounds he wished, and on venturing re- monstrance, was asked the difference be- tween nut and oyster crackers. soL.

Had the bench delegation understood the nature of the above resolution before they voted on it, they probably would not have uttered their y-e-a-a a with so much zeal. This resolution instructs the select men to enforce the present law, which everybody knows is good enough, and viI- tually makes of those officers committee. which those who were forward in calling that meeting sought to have appointed, whose business it will be to prosecute in Engagements of the law, &c. The select men are instructed to do just this thing. If a man sells rum without license, or in any way contrary 10 the law, even if he has all unexpirsd license, it is lheir busi- ness and duty to prosecute him, and the people expect they will do their duty in this respect.

and to obtain an opportunity to have 8 voice in the doings of the meeting was ab solutely impossible, and when the chair man called for vote on any question, they couldn't vote, because they couldn't hear the question and know the nature of the business before them. That this town is ruled by the mob and the rabble, the meeting of Saturday is ample evidence
 Rowdyism rises in its might, and resppcta. bility and proper decency, such as is main tained in business meetings of other towns cannot even be expected. Rum and riot rule triumphant. A certain New Haven paper few days since said Litcbfield county is actually and absolutely de bauched. That the whole town of Sails bury IS debauched, everybody knows.- Rum sent bullet to the heart of one of Its citizens; plunged tue knife to the hilt in another and makes sn mbecile of the third, who selects the wife of his bosom from New York dance house and wills to her his fortune. Is it necessary to emu merate more evidence of Saisbury's dc bauchery Buildings are erected and con- secrated to rum Rum hells spring up like mushrooms and flourish like Green Bay tree and nobody dares say aught against them.
 If the respectable hotels and drug stores arc licensed and nobody else allowed to sell, the case would be different. Certain landlords have paid for licenses and are permitted to sell, and so are those who pay nothing also permitted 10 sell just as much. This makes even the law of granting li- censes ot no avail. The meeting of Sat urday was closed by the following resolu- tion introduced by DAn'l Pratt, which was carried:

Another Of Them.

France is the fastest contributor to
the Enoch Arden class Of stories, and
the case, which has just turned up in
the Saone-et. Loire, is vouched for in
every particular: A young man named
Mariner, who had been married only q
few months when the war broke out,
Joined the Mobiles Of the Vosges, and
was taken prisoner. On arriving in
Prussia he was sentenced to several
years imprisonment for striking bis
guard. During his captivity he wrote
often to his wife, but receiving no reply
concluded that his letters were not for
warded or that his wife was dead. When
he was taken prisoner he threw away his
knapsack, which was picked up and
worn by a comrade, who managed to
escape, but who was subsequently kill
ed in another engagement. The KNAPP
sack contained the papers OF Mariner,
which were forwarded to his wife as the
last remains Of her husband. The
young widow, after few months OF
grief, took a second husband. Since
then Mariner having obtained a par
don, was allowed to return to France,
and on reaching his native cottage
found it occupied by another, and a
child of which he was not the father.
Here the drama ends for the present.

The Legend Of the Felt Hat.

There is legend among hatters that
felt was invented by no less a parsonage
than st. Clement, the patron saint OF
their trade. Wishing to make pill
grimage to the Holy Sepulchre, and at
the same time do penance for sundry
unexpected peccadilloes, the pious
monk started on his journey afoot. AS
to whether he was afflicted with corns
or kindred niseries, the ancient chroni-
Gle from which this information is de-
rived is silent but, at all events, few
days' successive tramping soon began
to blister his feet. In order to obtain
relief, it occurred to him to line his
shoes with the fur of rabbit. This
he did, and, on arriving at his destina-
ton, was surprised to find that the
warmth and moisture Of his feet had
worked the soft hair into cloth-like
mass. The idea thus suggested he
elaborated in the solitude Of his cell,
and finally, there being no patent laws
in existence in those days, he gratui-
tously presented to his fellow mortals
the result of his genius in the shape OF
q felt hat.

General Jackson.

The late Peter Hagner, for many
years third auditor Of the United States
Treasury, appointed originally under
Washington's Administration, and con-
tinuing in the Treasury Department
until General Taylor's Administration,
used to tell the following characteristic
anecdote of President Jackson 1T
seemed that some politician had been
long making efforts to have Mr.. Hag-
ner removed to make place for himself.
he discovered that Mr.. Hagner, many
years before, when General Jackson was
in the army, refused to pass certain OF
his accounts, amounting to some Sl5,.
600, for want Of sufficient vouchers,
which he had lost in an active campaign.
Armed with this information he ap.
preached the General, and made the
unfortunate mistake Of proposing to
him, that if he was appointed the ac-
count could be audited and paid. This
reused the ire Of the General, and
threw him into violent passion he
called his servants to turn the internal
scoundrel out of the house. and direct
ed one of them to go to Mr.. Hanger
and order him to come to him instantly.
Mr.. Hagner was quietly sitting in his
Office when he received this peremptory
order, and Immediately obeyed it. He
found the General walking up and
down the room in violent passion, and
the first salutation he met with was
Give me your hand, sir; you're an
honest man I respect you you did
right, sir, in not passing my account.
lost the vouchers. By the Eternal !
to be insulted in my own house or
course all this was Greek to Mr.. Hag-
ner. The affair had happened many
years before, and was entirely forgotten
BY him. It was sometime before he
succeeded in quieting the General
down, when he asked him what it all
meant. The General then told him the
circumstances, adding-'Go to your
office, sir make yourself perfectly easy;
there shan't be a hair Of your head
touched as long as have the honor to
fill the Presidential chair. '"-Anleri-

Trades Her Son for O Dog.

About q month ago woman who
was living in the Third ward OF Mil
waukee, took q fancy to large New.
foundland dog owned by the landlady,
and she offered to give one of her little
boys and IS "to boot" for the animal.
Mrs. Cooke accepted the offer, and the
little Heinrich, who was about eight
years Of age, was transferred to his
new mother, and the woman took the
dog and departed we'll satisfied.
Thursday she returned and demand
ed the little Heinrich back again. She
said the dog ate too much, and she
couldn't afford to keep him. But Mrs.
Cook would neither take the dog nor
refund the $5, preferring to keep the
boy, who had become very useful to
her and loved her very much. A war Of
words ensued, and then a fight, but
neither conquered, and they had to be
parted by policeman. Mother Cooke
still keeps her little boy, and she is de-
!ermined to do it if the law will allow
her. The little Heinrich is Indifferent
as to the result, but prefers to stay
with "Mamma Cooke"

Fish In q Hot Spring.

A correspondent writing from Eldo'
Nevada, says that there are hot springs
there in which numbers Of fish can be
seen swimming about, though the water
is SO hot that eggs are cooked in "less
than three seconds" The explanation
of this phenomenon lies in the fact that
these hot springs rise in the banks OF
streams the water Of which is intensely
cold. The cold water, on account OF
its greater specific gravity, runs on the
bottom without mixing much with the
water above, and the fish keep in o cool
stratum. The water above the springs
showed q mean temperature OF forty
two degrees, and by means OF ther-
mometer fastened to the end OF o pole
and kept as close to the bottom as pos
sible, the temperature Of the bottom
water from above the springs to o point
below them was found to be very low.
This stream is one OF the many that
form the head-waters OF the Columbia
River, and to this point, 1,SO0 miles
from its mouth, the salt water salmon
come in hundreds in the spring and fal
to epawn.
