IA BET PAID.-The Albany Journal tells
tnis story: "EX-Alderman j. w. Seryiss for
merly OF this city, now of A amsterdam. some
seven years since resolved TO play a practical
Joke upon Steve Arnold, of the Arnold
House, OF that village. Needing a confede-
rate, he took into his confluence Dave
Nanny, OF the Nanny House. The two pro-
ceedet TO the Arnold House, where Serviss
stated 20 Arnold that himself and friend had
made bet. and that they had agreed to SUBJ
NIT the matter TO his decision, the bet 70 be
paid as soon Jas he should decide who was
winner. Feeling honored at this mark OF
confidence, he OF the Arnold House at once
signited his assent TO the arrangement.
The ex-Alderman then stated the bet as fol-
lows He, Serviss, had bet Nanny the drink
for the entire party at Arnold's that when
the spire of the new Catholic cathedral fell it
would fall to the west; while Nanny had bet
that il would fall TO the east. Then calling
for drinks for the entire party, he blandly
informed the umpire that as soon as he de-
cided the bet the loser would pay the score
OF course the laugh was upon Arnold, and
fluids to the tune OF twenty shillings were
distracted from his bar. He looked puzzled
for q moment, then quietly producing q
book, carefully noted down the terms OF the
bet. During the gale Of last week the spire
OF that cathedral fell. 1t fell to the east.
Tidings of the fact reached Arnold who drew
on his ulster as il he had been CREASED, drove
up to bis house as rapidly as possible, pro-
duced the book in which he had recorder the
bet, and aim st before the ex-Alderman had
heard OF the fall Of the spire he was presented
with q bill for twenty dollars worth of
drinks, with seven years interest addei."

A WHITEHALL IN. " GIRLS ABNoR-
NAL APPETITE FOR ARSENIC.-A diet of
arsenic, IL seems, is nothing at all after you
get used TO IL. There is little girl In White
hall, n. Y, who eats IL and cries for IL. The
fame OF her singular appetite has spread all
around the region OF the little end of Lake
Champlain, and the editor of the Whitehall
Times has been interviewing her personally
The father, Mr.. Flagg, proceeded TO feed his
daughter her regular arsenic In the presence
OF the editor. Hereupon her father took from
his pocket ginger snap, and upon this he
sprinkled grain OF arsenic. He then hand
ed the cake 10 Mary. The delight with which
raveDous. After devouring the cake, Mary
asked for drink OF water. 1t seemed TO us
as IL this was but the premonition OF the
fatal drugs deadly effect, for when rats
have been parJaking Of poison they imme-
diately go for water and expire at the
waters edge. But we soon began TO realize
that the child before US was a remarkable
exception TO the general rule. We noticed
a great hush of the checks, a bright sparkle
of the eye, and general briliiancy of the
whole countenepce. She seemed Ike one
transformed. The strange metamorphosis
was indeed startling. She began talking,
asking many questions, and making sugges-
tions as TO our profession. Her father in
formed us that he did not often give her the
drug, but lately he has been visited by many
persons who had prevailed upon him To al.
minister Ii for their curiosity. The effect OF
the drug remains for at least six hours when
Ii passes of, leaving the child as she was
previous TO partaking Of IL.
