The COoperstown Republican tells
this: There lives in that town far
mer who was moving. LOAD of hay
from one point to another some time
slEce, AID after going a short distance
the hay fell off. 1t was reloaded and
shortly fell off again. 1t was again
put on the wagon, which, after going
awhile, tipped over; the farmer there,
upon took match from his pocket
and set fre to it and saw the whole
consumed-and that was the way this
foolish farmer helped himself out OF
that difficulty.
An Indiana girl wanted to see if
her lover really loved her, and she
got boy to yell "mad dog |" as they
were walking out. The lover flew
over fence and left her to be chawed
up, and she went right away and mar
ried store clerk.
An Iowa man obtained divorce
from his wife and then hired her for a
cook. The woman is delighted with
the change, because now she can have
new dress occasionally, and little
pin-money in her pocket book.
A New Haven boy stole some an.
pies and hid them under his shirt.
Then horse kicked him and the ap.
pies saved his life; which is a story
not to be told in the Sunday-schools.
The compositor who substituted an
IN" for 'w" in speaking of a lady
troubled with swelling Of the feet"
accomplished the worst typographical
feet on record.
a Texas woman went into trance,
talked with an angel, saw Heavens
gate, and had her ears boxed by her
husband because she let the potatoes
boil dry.
1t is said that every real poet loves
Goldfish gravy, but there are so many
false reports nowadays that one can't
be too cautions about believing things.
Jesse Pomeroy is in a hurry to be
hanged aud it looks to an outsider as
though the authorities might have
some accommodation about them.
Troy denies that she has a female
boat club. The story was started to
hurt the feelings of man who went
out rowing with his mother-in-law.
Brown, the mind.Ieader, can't find
woman to marry him. No one is
willing to have him reading her
thoughts.
The mosquitoes haven't put in a
very profitable season thus far.

He was travel-stained and weary
and his eyes had far-off wistful look
as though he knew that rest was moi
for him below, let his tired heart crave
1t never so much. And, as he hum.
bly, asked the lady of the house for a
morsel of food, his venerable appear.
ance and evident want aroused all her
womanly generosity, and she present..
ly set the poor tramp down to the re-
mains of the family dinner.
Poor old man." she murmured,
sympathetically, as she saw him lean
back in his chair, leaving his food un.
touched on his plate "he is too weary
to eat" and she asked him if he felt ILL.,
mot exaekly, mum" was the an.
swer, in a humble voice. "but mos
people cooks their roast beef till it's
overdone, an overdone beef don't gen.
er'lly agree with me. Y hawaii got
any Wooster sauce, have ye?" contin.
ued the medicant; IL mos gener'llv
use it when beef amt cooked to suit
me-"
Unfortunately the house of McCor.
mick was out of Wooster sauce" but
Mrs. McC. brought the mustard and
plate of nice pickles, observing, with
the faintest trace of sarcasm in her
tones, that if she'd known that he was
coming, she'd have looked out for
something better.
80, l amt very pertick' ler, num-"
said the old man, as he helped him
self to another spoonful of gravy and
a cucumber pickle, "only | ieo' happ'n
to mention it, COS where there amt
no pie nor nothin' sweet for dessert.
overdone roast beef's more like to dis.
agree with me-" and the meekness in
the vagrant's wrinkled face was touch
ing in the extreme, as he looked hum.
bly, around the table, as though his
former glance might have overlooked
the luxuries of which he spoke.
But Mrs. McC was rather too far
gone with speeohless indignation to
frame suitable answer, and so the
weary old man, with a mournful sigb.
went on eating, and developed most
singular and wonderful appetite, which
was gradually appeased as the four
pound piece of Beef was reduced TO a
mere shapeless fragment, and the last
boiled potato had vanished from the
dish.
81 hope you've made a dinner"
calculated Mrs. Nee, in fine irony.
"Wall, yes'm; I've eat wuss wit
tells" said the old mendicant, with
deep humility, as he pushed his chair
back from the table, and appeared to
seek something on the floor.
"What is it you're lookin' for?"
demanded Mrs. McC., with a snap in
her voice that reminded one of the
slamming down of the lid OF a chest.
"Nothin', mum-that is, nothin'
pertick'ler; | didn't see no napkin,
an thought might a dropped it."
But he never finished his speech,
and five seconds later his white locks
vanished through the doorway with
amazing celerity, and an infuriated fe.
male, with mop, followed so close
behind, that he got fully half mile
from the house before pursuit ceased,
and he was able to light his cigar.

A boy about twelve years old knocked at the door of a house on Second street, yesterday, and when the lady appeared he said;
 "There'll be boy around here pretty soon to clean your walk, but don't give him the job. His names Jim, he's cross-eyed, and he blows up cats with powder snaps. I'll be here with my part ner pretty soon. We go to Sun day school, never sass our moth CTS, and we're going to give half the money to the grasshopper sufferers"

An old Church.

Perhaps the oldest meeting house in the United States is that at Hingham, Mass, it was built soon after the settlement of that town in 1880 and was then con sidered very imposing structure. It cost the town f430, and was 55 feet long by 40 wide. After two centuries the massive beams of oak still stand, and the timbers have become so hard that it is al most impossible to cut them with q knife. The meetlng-house is colloquially known as the ''old ship" When finished the build ing was rude, there was no paint to adorn the logs, nor clustering on the walls or ceiling. Seats oi oak covered the entire area oi floor and galleries. The males sat on one side by themselves, fe- males on the other. The sexes were again separated as to age and condition, no unmarried wo- man being permitted to sit with
 
 the wives and widows. "The second seat on the gallery at the east end of the house, was fol Eye maids" Year by year repairs have been added to the old house, although but little change appears on the outside. The belfrey is surmounted by a light spire, ard is surrounded by balustrade The whole aspect of the building is strikingly unique. It is the oldest house of worship in the United States. Throughout its long history it has had six pastors The present incumbent, the Rev Calvin Lincoln, has just passed his 75th birthday.

other day, ''our only salvation from Grant" 5. Itis thought by the moderate men of tn s.des, that the discussion of Southern matters through the press and by means of investigating reports to Congress during the last three months, has greatly changed Northern opinion, as it certainly has the opinions of the ablest Northern republicans in the house. The desire of the great majority of the house was for justice, and when it was shown that injustice had been done or was threatened in Louisiana and Arkansas, the reaction set in very strongly.
 THE OPENING oE THE EXTRA sEs-
 SION OF THE sENATE-swEARING
 IN OF THE NEW sENAToRs--AN-
 DREW JoHNsoN's RETURN TO THE
 CHAMBER.
 The Senate galleries were dense ly crowded this morning, a great many ladies being present, in spite of the snow storm, to see the new Senators sworn in. The gal leries cheered Senators Burnside and Andrew Johnson, and the latter, as he retired to his seat af ter taking the oath, was presented with modest boquet by little page, who had been assiduously schooled by some of Mir. Johnson's s admirers to hand it to him at the proper moment. The old man looked very little like warrior this morning. He does not ap- pear to be in good health and some of his family are seriously ill at home. His face bore the mild and benevolent expression which it has when his passions are at rest, and he seemed to feel the so- lemnity of the occasion as he stood there, a member of the Senate, in the presence of some men, now his fellow Senators, who seven years ago attempted to impeach him. Cautiously enough hls face and form were unknown to many prominent members of the present Senate. He was the object of much kindly attention and after the adjournment of the Senate was compelled to hold Q little levee in the remote corner where he has his seat, to which many ladies, as well as gentleman, strayed to see him and to offer him their congratula- | tions. He seemed little dazed with these attentions, and was, as he told a lady, tired with his journey and with anxiety for the sick members of his family. The | democratic Senators appear to be a little shy of him. He sits on their side, of course; but there Is feeling that he is a party foi himself and that he may prove as much q hindrance as help to them. He certainly looks older and feebler than when he with stood Thad Stevens and the re publican party in the White House.

Execution of an Innocent Girl.

LNecutlOIl Ol stll lnUOCcut NiIls
 The French minister of justice has just received a report of a very sad and extraordinary affair, which is not unlikely to create some sensation. Thirty years ago a young girl named Marie Guernic was found poisoned in her bed. She had been betrothed short time before to young man, with whom her younger SIS ter, Madeline. was said to be des- perately in love. The poor girl was at once arrested, tried, and finally condemned to death, which she suffered calmly and valiantly, without uttering a word of com plaint or of justification. Every body felt the greatest sympathy for the poor father of the two girls, who was giving signs of the most violent grief. He had come into possession of some money which the girls had inherited from their mother, but his grie1 did not seem to lessened thereby. A fortnight ago the old man died and before his death confessed te his parish priest, the Rev. AbbS Barreau, that he was himselfth' murderer of his eldest daughter He had, moreover, allowed suspl cion to rest on the younger III order to inherit the money Of both The poor victim had died innocen without uttering q word Ill ne defense because she knew wh' was the murderer, and rathe chose to die than to denounce hin l him to justice.
