 Spelling is q good. but rather dis traeting thing. For instance, when tn clergyman speaks in his impressive man ner, of the Resurrection and the Life, and the lips of seven or eight of the mos ! exemplary ladies in his congregation be gin to move simultaneously as they de eide whether resurrection takes Q double or e double 7, that minister feels chil as of a wet blanket, without knowing ex actly what discourages him. . On the morning of the 26th inst while the fremen from Waterbury wer putting mp the flag m Sonth street prepal atory to the military display of that day several persons at the Mansion Hous noticed male swan in one of the trees o the east side of the street. The peculiar ity of this circumstance caused the bird t be watched through the day He scene, entirely forgetful of his mate. which is ac counted for probably by this bein the matching season. A more marked fac was that he avoided water throughout tn entire day, and apparently had great ar tipathy to that fluid. The bird followe the Waterbury fremen home to that city and 1t is said would not even touch wate there. If there are any natnralists in Ws terbnEy who can account for this strang conduct we shall be happy to hear fror them. ssUrcR I-"
