Marsha, Jr., OF Wallingford, lad about four
teen years Of age, and son OF Jerry Marsha
was discovered in Otter Creek, near the depot.

welded to one Isaac French, took it into Their
heads to change the tenor Of their lives So
by mutual agreement, they bring up in Lud-
low, and pass for man and wife, boarding with
Williams mother. Information being obtained

patched to Ludlow, with warrant for vii
liams' arrest. The wife thief was caught

The sewers of Paris deserve to ranC
among the wonders of the world They
are traversed through great portion Of
their extent by railways, and are as free
from unpleasant oder as the streets
above them. Passage through the
remaining portion is effected by means
OF boats. Along these magnificen,
sewers are carried The wires of the
telegraph, as well as the pneumatic
tubes 70: the transmission of small
packages by atmospheric pressure. The
stream of water passing through the
main sewer is SO swift that not bit of
anything is seen floating. They are
kept from any large amount of sewage
deposit by means of peculiarly con
structed bargcs, each of which does the
work of a hundred men. The smaller
ones are kept clean by hand, $50 men
being employed for the purpose, whose
tenure of life, after they enter the
sewers, rarely exceeds fifteen years. 1t
is by such perfect system of sewage
that Paris has earned the enviable repu.
tation of being the cleanest city in the
world. All the solid matter is utilized
and made to pay revenue to the city
largely exceeding the interest on the
original costs of the sewers.

A genuine bully called on Friend
avowedly to thrash him. Friend, re-
monstrated the Quaker, knocking down
his visitors fists, before thou proceedest
to chastise me, wilt thou not take some
dinneri" The bully was glutton, and
at once consented, washing down the
solids with libations of strong ale. He
rose up again to fulfill his original
errand. Friend said the Quaker,
wilt thou not take some punche' and
he supplied abundance of punch. The
bully, now staggering, attempted to
thrash his entertainer; but quothe the
Quaker, Friend, wilt thou not take a
piper This hospitable offer was ac>
cepted, aud the bully, utterly weak,
staggered across the roem to chastise
the Quaker. The latter, opening the
window, and pulling him toward it thus
addressed him: Friend, thou earnest
hither not to be pacified | gave thee a
meat-oftering, but that did not assuaye
thy rage; give thee a drink offering,
still thoa vert beside thyself | gave
thee burnt offering, neither did that
suffice; and now viii try thee with a

tossed him out Of the window. That
sufficed him.

ICE Fer pIPTHERIA.

Since that dreadful disease, diptheria,
has made its appearance in New York,
and other cities, it may,not be out of
place at this time to call attention to
re cent letter. written by DR. Geo. Ora
gin, of the Oneida Community, whicI
thus explains a novel, but successful
treatment for diptherla:
Greco gnizing as we do the spiritual
nature of the disease, as well as physic

fu! and leaden influence of disease.
which enveloped him like acloud, stu
pefying and befogglng every mental
faculty and, effort of the will to repel
the intruder. The invariable effect O,
criticism was to stir up the patient in
mind and heart to make stout defence
against the attack, to resist the influence
OF the disease with might and lnain, and
to throw him into sweat, thus at once
relieving the fever.
"lhe next thing was to prepare
quantity of ice. broken into small bits
WHICH could easily be taken into the
mouth ana swallowed or allowed te
melt, letting the piece slip as far back
as possible around the roots of tn,
tongue, tonsils, and upper part of tie
throat This application of ice was
made every ten minutes, day and night
! until every Hestage Of the canker had
disappeared and the inflammation had
subsidized. During the day the patients
unless very sick, could help themselves
to the ice if supply was placed at the
bedside or near at hand; but during the
night watchers were required to give
the necessary lump of ice every ten
minutes, one nurse attending to several
patients. The course of trea tment was
faithfully followed as long as there was
any traces of the disease about, and al
though we had over sixty cases during
the fall and winter. and many of them
were severe, we lost not single patient
after adopting ehe ice criticism treat
ment..
"Of course the application Of crit
cism would be difficult ifnot impossible
under the ordinary hospital routine OF
private practice, even if desired by the
patient, but the application of ice can
he made under any circumstances, and
there mnst be but few who cannot af
ford few pounds of medicine so pure.
so cheap and SO powerful
''The efficacy of the Ice treatment lies
in its being applied continuously until
every trace of the fungus growth has
disappeared and the swelling and inha,
nation has subsidized. Acids and aka
lies and fashionable gargIes will in some
measure check the morbid growth, but
they cannot allay the fierce heat and
reduce the inflammation of the swelled
throat. Ice will do both and not in

creep through the fence, scratch Out
the seed, fill up and go home Wher

the law in our own hands. We pro
cured half a peck of corn and two dozen
small fish hooks. Fastening the hooks
each to q grain of corn, we tied wire
TO each hook. Then we scattered the
whole of the corn on the radish bed
and fixed the biggest skyrocket We
could get. Tie rocket stood in frame
about ten yards away from tn, hooks.
