The CASE SErrLED.-A farmer called at
the house of lawyer to consult him profess
sionally. "Ist' squeer at home p he inquired
of the lawyers wife. He was answered ne
gatively. After moments hesitation, a
thought relieved him. "Mebby yourself can
gi' me information as we'll as t squeer, as ye're
his wife ?" The kind lady promised to do
so if she found it in her power, and the other
proceeded as follows: "Spoaze ye were an
old white near, an I should borry ye to
gwang to mill with grst on yer back, an we
should git no farder than Stair Hill, when
all at once ye should back up, an rear up,
an pitch up, and kneel down backward,
and break yer darned old neck, who'd pay
for ye? Not darn me if would~ The
lady, smiingly, told him, as she closed the
door, that as he had himself settled the case,
advice would be superfuous.

sg David Crockett, after returning home
from his first trip to New York, gave his back
woods auditors his idea of the first gentleman
in the metropolis: "Philip Hone is the most
gentlemanly man in New York, boys, and
I'll tell you how I know it. When he asks
you to drink, he don't hand you glass-he
puts the decanter on the table, and walks of
to the window and looks out until you have
finished"

THE WORM THAT LIVED IN A CHESTNUT.

Once there was little worm, that lived in
the very heart of fine, large chestnut.
How he got there, he never knew. In fact,
I don't believe he ever thought anything
about it; but there he was, snug and warm,
with plenty to eat and a tiny hole to let in
the air.
The nut was lying on the ground with a
number of its relations, among some autumn
leaves, and the wee worm could hear the
leaves whispering together, whenever the rude
wind came that way.
"Oh! how frightened we are" they would
say "The trees have let US fall, and soon we
shall be blown, we know not where
"But aue need fear nothing" said the chest
nuts, to each other "Chestnuts can't be
blown about like dry leaves. True, the wind,
when he's in very great hurry, gives us a
little roll, but that's only fun-it don't fright
en- US bit"
As for the worm he said to himself, be-
cause he had no one else to say it to, I'D
rather be even leaf than worm in chest
nut, no matter where the wind blew me, for
then l should, at least, see something. It's
awful stupid being shut up here"
Well, one morning there was sound in the
wood, that was neither song of the birds, the
whistling of the wind, nor the whispering Of
the leaves.
1t was the sound of childish voices, and
the little worm heard the children running
gayly about, shouting to each other.
20, dear! O, dear! | think they are after
U.s. This is worse than the wind"
But the worm said to himself, 'I hope they
will let me out of this poky little house, so
that may 60 about and see what wood is
really like" -.
"Just then he felt the "poky little house"
lifted from the ground, and girl called out
in great glee, "Ive found great big one-a
splendid one"
Then sharp, cracking sound nearly
stunned him, and he felt the top of the chest
nut cave in, and heard the girl give shrill
scream, and cry out in very different tone
from that she had cried out in before, "Oh a
horrid horrid worm p and she flung it., with
all her strength, far away from her on the
grass
"Don't care" said the worm to himself
"Now can come out any how"
And he came out and was nipped that very
moment by sparrow, which was hopping
about on the ground, looking for something
for dinner.-The Methodist.
A SINGULAR FIsH.-A singular fish is
found in great numbers in the coast rivers of
Alaska. It is about eight inches long, trans
parent, and the fattest of all the finny tribe
This fat, however, has not the oily, rancid
taste of other fish, but is like fresh lard
When the fish are dried the Indians often turn
them to practical account burn them in
stead of.candles. They give clear, brilliant
light, and are not liable to be blown out by
the wind. Mr.. Manson, Superintendent at
Fort Simpson, says that the tail should be
lighted instead of the head, and each fish will
burn about fifteen minutes.

FROM EVANSVILLE

EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRATS i am tardy
in fulfilling the promise to write you
from my new home. But "better late
than never" GAINESVILLE is one of the
oldest, and, for many years, was one o.
the most important and enterprising OF
the towns of Ohio. Its growth, though
not rapid, has been steady and healthy
now it contains population of over 49,
coo. GAINESVILLE has, by common con.
sent, and | think justly, too, always been
conceded to be a city Of natural advant-
ages" Perhaps if it had possessed fewer
natural advantages" it would have been
more prosperous and popul us than it is
now. Its citizens and capitalists have
perhaps, depended too much upon "nat-
ural advantages" These are important
but alone they will not make prosper
ous city-capital and enterprise must as
sist nature. But it is hoped that a new
era of prosperity has dawned upon this
eminent t,wn. It's limits within the last
two years have been much extended by
the addition of West GAINESVILLE, Natchez
and Putnam. All are now under our
municipal government. The old Court
House has been torn down, and upon
the same spot magnificent temple Of
justice is being erected, which, when
completed, will be one o. the finest in
Ohio. There are other indications that
GAINESVILLE has aroused from her stupor.
and is determined to take her stand
among the live cities of the Buckeye
State.
The putnam Seminary for Young La
dies" is located in this city. This Sem
mary was founded in 1884, through the
liberality of two or three citizens Of Put
nam. The location is one of the finest
in the beautiful, healthy and easy
of access. The building, ll0 feet long
and three stories high, with forty-eight
rooms, stands in an enclosure Of three
acres, in which are many large and beau
tifnl shade trees. The whole house is
lighted by gas, and there is water in
each hall. Churches of all denOmina-
tions are found in the city, and The pu-
pills of the institution are permitted to
attend on the Sabbath any church their
parents may prefer. While the institu-
ton is not sectarian, the Bible will be
read daily, and religious worship main
tanned and carefully prepared course
Of lectures will be delivered by the Prin-
cipal on the leading events and charac-
ters OF the Bible.
In addition TO the branches usually
taught in Seminaries for Young Ladies,
instruction will be given in Book Keep
ing" In these days when women are
in stores and offices, it is i'm
portant they should be taught to keep
books. The aim in this institution will
be TO educate young ladies thoroughly |
md to prepare them for the duties Of any
station, the family, the school room, the
,fice or the store. We propose to fur
lish the facilities for the acquisition Of q
AOro.eh practical educ0tion upon terms as
"a equal advantages can be
furnished in any similar institution in
ohio. &. BucKiSGHAS.
