A DEAD BEAT.-A fellow giving his
name as c. L. Cummlns, from Erie, Pa,
arrived here on western bound train a
few days since, and put up at the National
Hotel at the L. S. 6 NJ. S. depot. He
claimed to be detective sent here to look
after a couple of men who committed a
burglary at Erie few days ago. Cum
minis was on hand at the arrival of all the
passenger trains and passed through each
car in search ofhis men. After spending
five or six days in this manner the land
lord of the National asked him for his
board bill, but having no money he took
a sudden departure, leaving his baggage,
which consisted of a travelling bag, in the
hands OF the landlord.

Our member of the Constitutional Con-
yention shares good degree of shrewd-
ness and tact. While the Convention was
occupied on Wednesday of last week upon
the subject of legislation and the section
relative to the formation of new counties
and the removal of county seats was
reached, Mr.. Woodbury. offered an
amendment requiring a two-thirds vote
for the removal of any county seat from
one town to another This looks a little
like throwing Il sprat to catch a salmon.
As the proposition was lost, the only mis-
fortune about it, seems at first sight, TO be,
the show of hands in this stage of affairs.
The movement has attracted some little
attention and comment.
While Mr.. Woodbury. is thus looking
after Jefferson intesests in the convention,
Mr.. Howland, in the assembly is moving
IN the matter of bringing legislation to
bear upon the subject of annexation. A
petition was presented by him on Monday
last from sundry citizens of this county
for the enactment of law requiring a
unanimous vote of the board of County
commissioners for the annexation and en-
largement by new territory to village
where one of said commissioners is a resi-
dent of the village. A bill to this effect
was introduced. This is pretty good en-
gineering on the part of the opponents ol
annexation, but it Is doubted whether Mr.
Rowland will show very great amount
of zeal in pushing it to its passage.

Educated Oysters.

Before the railroad DAYS our oyster
growers used early in the Fall to canvass
the villages on the Hudson river for oys-
tiers, to he filed just before the river
should b, closed with ice. The meaning
Of this Is that these men committed
themselves to supply oysters in the
shell, with the guarantee that the bi-
valves thus supplied should not die be-
fore their time came. The oysters were
actually kept alive during the greater
part OF the long Winter. The fat bi-
valves were handled with some care,
and were spread on tho cellar fiocr. the
round OF lower side down. so A. not TO
allow the liquor 10 escape. That such a
life required great change OF capacity
or habit in the bivalve Is evident, and ii
needed n training-yes. an education-
ere the oyster attained to such ability;
and this was the way il was done: Be
ginning early in the Fall, the cultivator
Of the oyster took up the fat biyalves
from their bed where he had planted
them, and laid them little higher up
ON the shore, so that for short time
each day they were exposed out Of the
water. After a few days OF this exposure
by the retrsating tide, they were moved
a little higher still ON the shore line,
which gave them little longer exposure
to the air at each low tide. And this
process was continued, each remove re-
sulting in q little longer exposure.
And with what resultsp Two very
curious ones-inuremsnt to exposure,
and the incubation Of provident habit
OF making preparation for tho same.
What! Providence is an oysterl Yes,
when he's educated. When accustomed
to this treatment. ere the tide rstirss,
the oyster takes good full drink. and
retains the same until the tide returns.
Once, while waiting for a stage at q
country hostslry, we overheard the fol-
lowing between two rustic practitioners
at the bar: swell, / don't know.
Amt dry myself. Howsevsr. guess I
will take drink. for fear might get
dry" With better philosophy on their
side, these educated oysters, twice in
every twenty-four hours took their pre-
cautionary drink. The French method
Of oyster training is much more labor
ious. The adult hiyalves are carefully
spread out in the water. and periodical
lessons are given to each one individual
iy. Each oyster on this occasion re-
ceives tap, not with feruls. but with
a small iron instrument. This causes
the bivalvs to close tightly. Finally the
last day comes with its las. premoniiory
tap. Its education thus finished. 1t
takes passage with its fellow graduates
for Paris. As result OF its education.
II knows how to keep its mouth shut
when il enters society.
