AHARTFoRD spider caught the hind
leg of mouse in one Of the tibIes OF his
web, and continued 20 wind his web,
with such rapidty that in a, few mo-
ments the hind legs Of mouse were
held firmly, while the mouse scratched
the ground with his fore legs in etfectusl
attempts to escape. The gentleman in
whose cellar these proceedings took
place found the spider and mouse in the
position above described, called in some
friends to observe the positions, ard then
left the mouse to his fate. On going IN
to the cellar the rext day, he found that
by some process of engineering the spider
had raised the mouse an inch from The
floor. The mouse was very weak, and
had discontinued struggling. On the
next dav some accident occurred to the
tibres, and the mouse fell to floor, where
he was lef: for the spider to least upon at
his leasure, as a reward for his ingen.

"A looker-on IN Vienna brings to our
notice distressing case, OF which he has
personal knowledge. A certain govern =

Chandler. The man was dependent upon
his Office for bread for his family. He
paid the assessment under protest and on
condition that he would 0e retained in
his place, or. falling that, the money
would be returned. Chandler got his
money and the clerk got his discharge.
This is one among the many sad cases
continually being reported to us. We
know Of no present remedy :or this
wrong. Honest men have only to vote
against Zach Chambers party and wait

ton of law. No consideration OF decen-
cy will keep Mr.. Chambers hand out of
