A very cuilouf party was given

man VINO has become quite GEE
GRATED fyr her determined and
efsistent efforts to get into good
SOC c!y She was originally
enam .ermaid in /; Boston hotel,
md married the son OF we'll
ka0wu NV Yorker in IS69.-
The marriage created a great
.scandJl, Of clur5e. They went
Ito Europe, aud lie young gentle
m MS wealth and prop .ns;ties
soon brought them into nJtice.-
The eX-chambermaid Is pretty,
hls 4 sinatteFing OF education and
refinement, and considerable ciev-
erneSs. Two years ago tLey cama
back to NV York, to the annoy
ance OF the young gentleman
relatives, and forthwith establish
ed themselves on the Fifth avenue.
Then came series Of grand par
ties. The most distinguished of
our citizens, their wives and
daughters, we're invited, but of
course didn't go. But many of
the fashionable rabble went, glad
to eat, drink and make merry at
other peoples expense. Lately
this funny couple gave a party,
and each and every lady who was
present received some handsome
article Of j,weIry. This is the
most novel bid for social fame and
popularity ever heard of. In
view OF the prevalent hard times,
this style of entertainment must
become very fashionable.

Broggs' Experiment.
From the Yolo (Cal.) Mail.

BrOggs who lives in Elliott's
) Southern Addition, ran acrcss
the item the other day that sat
night a horse would refuse to
step on Grover the body of a
man found lying in the road,
but, as if impelled by instinct,
lwOuld stop and remain motion
less until after the matter should
be investigated"
| Grave doubts as to the truth
of this statement arose in his
Imind, and to settle the matter
for himself, he resolved to give
the thing a practical test. Now
Broggs has no horse, but does
own a very intelligent and fris-
ky young mule, so he thought
it just as well to try the ex-
pertinent with him. There is a
narrow lane leading from the
IcIoycr patch to the water
trough, and he sent his little
son Bobby to open the gate
land turn out the mule; mean
while Broggs lay down full
length across the lane, assum-
ing an apparently lifeless atti-
Itude. The mule had been kept
in the pasture all day and con-
.sequently was very dry, so he
came waItzing down the lane at
ii great rate, and everything de-
noted a fair trial of the test. =
And so it was, but not exactly
as Broggs would have desired,
although it confirmed him in his
skepticsm. When within a
yard Or two the mule perceived
the PROSTATE form Of his mas
ter, and, with an explosion of .
sound which was Il compromise /
between the shrek Of a loco
motive aul the yell Of fright
ened maniac, he bowed up his .
back, flung his tail to the breeze,
elevated himself about fifteen
feet in the air, and with ali four
feet III a bunch lit on the pit Of .
"bread-baskct." Then, /
with a fiendish laugh, he sud-
denly spread ont his feet with d
scraping sound, and was off like
Il flash, not omitting, however, /
to give the eXperimcnter a par
III g kick in the small of his
back is he departed. The price
Of the mule did not near pay
tie doctors bill, and Broggs is /
now calculating how many post
hotes he will have TO mortise
before he will get even on his

Two Suits over Forty
TURKEYS.
From the Sandy Creek, \. Y, Nt

From the Sandy Creek, y. Y, News
Not a thousand miles from
here a short time since one of
two farmers sold forty turkeys
to the other at a certain price
per pound alive. 1t was stipu-
lated that the seller should keep
the turkeys until the buyer
called for them the next day,
and that in the mean time they
were not to be fed. According
to contract the latter called for
the turkeys, weighed, took them
home and dressed them, when
10! twenty-five pounds Of corn
were raked from the crops. =
Buyer was wrathy, and deduc-
ted the above number Of pounds
from the weight Of the turkeys
and refused to pay more. Sell
ler, in turn, became mad and
sued for the corn. The case
was tried and decided in favor
Of the latter, each paying his
own costs, which amounted to
So for the plaintiff and So for
the defendant.

On Saturday last the Lutheran
church at Centre Hall was dedi
Gated with appropriate ceremony
Rev. Wolf, Of the Pennsylvania
Theological seminary, preached a
very excellent and impressive
sermon. A large congregation
was in attendance, and many Wis
itors from other denominations
At the conclusion Prof. Wolf an
nounced that a collection be taken
up to pay off the debt remaining
on the church, and as usual, in
quired how many were present
who would give $500. After do

failing he dropped the figure to
$3.50, and expected, and waited,
and entreated for responses, but
none came. His most eloquent
appeals and fervent entreaties

figure. Rev. Mr.. Fischer, the
pastor "loci," in his astonishment
at the impecuniosity of his rich
members, arose and said that it
was too bad that there were none

old man by the name o! George

generous, but there is one man
here (pointing to a gentleman
in the congregation who has
robbed me of thousands of dollars.
He pretends to be a.christian, and
you people think he is, but |

and unpleasant scene in a church,
