POLICE COURT SKETCHES.
GEORGE WARREN

and William H. Smith disagreed in q matter of
business. 1t appeared to be q mild disagree
ment at the outset, but as the parties gradually
warmed up in the debate as TO who was right,
things assumed a wsr-like appearance, and
when the conflict ended Smith found himself
piled into the corner OF the backyard from the
effects of a well-directed rock which had been
thrown by thei defendant, Warren. Smith
brought about a half bushel of rocks into
court which he claimed were pelted into his
ribs and back by the defendant, Warren. In
the development of the testimony it appeared
that it was a mutual fight, and the case was
,dismissed. -

THE NATIONAL.

Messrs. Carncross & Dixey's minstrcls ap-
peared in an entirely new programme last
evening before an audience tina. nearly filed
the house. The singing of Messrs. Carncross
and Lamont was highly enjoyable, while the
fun evoked by those sons of Momus, Dixey and
Talbot, kept the audience in jolly good hu-
NOR. Cheevers and Kennedy were, as usual,
enthusiastically encored, while the whole
troupe, in the "Burlesque Opera Bouffe," the
Sausage Machine" and "a Trip to Paris, {"
proved themselves comedians of the first water.
There will be grand matinee tomorrow after
noon, aud the troupe will close their successful
engagement in the evening.
THEATER CoMIQUE.
A crowded. house is now nightly feature at
the Comique. Jolly Sam Sanford, and
Sam Cole, Western and WallIng, the
pretty and graceful Louisa Bliss, the clear
voiced Miss Belmont, and the dashing frankie
Christie, together with the other members of
Manager Rogers talented troupe, provide an
entertainment Of the most enjoyable order.
The rollicking can-can is received with tu-
mutt of applause nightly, and appears des-
tined to run for the whole season. Remember
the grand matinee on .o-morrow afternoon.

Bhe Mother Perishing in a Snow
Storm 3 II , ifSY

''In the year 1921, Mrs. Blake per
ished in snow storm in the night timc,
while travelling over spur Of the Green
Mountains in Vermont. She had ns
infant with her, which was found alive
and well in the morning, being carefully
wrapped in tho mothers clothing"
Tho cold winds-swept tho sssmountaiI
height,
And pathless79was the dreary wild,
Aid, mid. the.cheerless hours Of night,
mother wander'd-with her child: -
AS through the drifting snow she pressd,
The babe--was sleeping-on her breast.
And colder still the winds did blow,
sAndEdarkeFs hours Of night came On,
And deeper grew the drifting snow:
Her limbs-werc child, her strength
was gone; 8E II fsffg " sc
"oh, God !" she orisdiin accents wild,
"ls Imust perish,3 ,3sare my child5!''i Il.
She stripp'd her mantle from her breast,
And barred her bosom to the storm,
And round the child-she wrapp'd tho ves3
And smiled~to think her babe was warm.
With one cold kiss-Tronc tear she shed,
And sunk-upon her snowy bed.
Atdagn- ttraTeler passed by,
And saw hcr-neath snowy vail;
The frost Of death-was in Der eye,
@!sHcrs oh heekSwagi cold, and hoard, and pale;
Tie moved the robe from of the child, Y
The babe look'd up.-and swcotly smiled!

A Windfsil.


Two or three weeks since mer-
chant in Hartford took into his head,
one evening, to look over some old
books and papers which had been put
away in an old trunks for many years.
The contents belonged to his wife, and
together they looked over the various
articles, long forgotten. Their little
daughter picked up document occas
ionally and read it, and finally said,
"What is this papera 1t says "thou-
sand dollars on it." The gentleman
took it up and saw that it was an old
county bond, in another State, for
200, with interest at 6 per cent,
Eundcr the date of 1858. lie wrote to
ascertain if it had any value, Was asked
to send it on, and one day last week
received check for nearly 5000,
being the accumulation OF principal and
interest for upward of fifteen years.

To RoAD SUPERVISORS Supervisors
who really desire to become good Off
GERS may now inspect the highways Of
their districts and see where the work
is most needed A man of Judgement
can save many dollars by putting work
in Che right place, cleaning cutters by a
few strokes of the hoe and thus suffer
ing the surface water to run of. Wa
ter standing on the side Of the roads
keeps it soaked and soft and easily to
be cut up by teams. Put lead Of fine
stones or cinders in very bad places
which need raising, but put it in the
middle ofthe track and let it spread
and settle, that water may run off. On
ly smoth the top SO wheel may pass
over it safely.
A few bad places made good each
spring, how soon the whole load may
be improved. Look after your bridges
and see that are safe and the approaches
easy.

When Napoleon the Great died at
St. Helena, an English physicians took
charge Of his heart, depositing it in a,
silver basin filed with Water. Two
tapers burned near it, but the custo,
dian felt nervously anxious while. wat
ching it through the night, and did
not sleep. In the silence of midnight
he heard rustling sound, then
plunge into the water, and rebound.
on the foor-aH occurring with the
quickness of thought. He sprang from
his bed to see an enormous rat drag
ging the precious relic to his hole A
moment more and the heart which had
been too vast in its ambition to be sat
is6ed with the sovereignty of continent
tai Europe would have been more de-
graded than the dust of Imperial
Caesar.
