BADLY HURr.-A gentleman, while
out taking drive, had the misfortune
to have his carriage upset, and himself
and newly-engaged young Scottish
coachman thrown into the road. The
gentleman was not seriously hurt, his
principal loss being that of his wig. He
found his servant standing in the mid
die Of the road, holding his head with
one hand, through the fingers Of which
the blood was freely tricklng, while he
gazed with stupefed sense of horror
on his masters wig, which he held at
arms length in his other hand. Weel,
Sandy, are you much hurt2" inquired
the master, compassionately. Hurt"
exclaimed Sandy, in a tone that be-
trayed an injury to his feelings by the
bare inquiry. cay, I'm dootin' I'll

BLACKBOARD JouRNALIsM.-Said Hor-
ace Greeley: There is nothing easier
than to edit q blackguard paper, and
nothing more difficult than to get up a
newspaper free from foulness and black
guardism. Fish women and bar-room
loafers are skilled in the art of bandying
epithets and bespattering each other
with dirty words. 1t requires no brains
to do this ; but it does require both
heart and brains to print q newspaper
that o descent man or woman can read
without blush.

INTERESTING SPIDER SroRY.-Ouite q
crowd gathered yesterday at carpenter
shop in this city, where a scene was
transpiring that filed the spectators
with astonishment. Near q bench in
the shop hung o medium-sized mouse,
head downward, and around its body
was coiled a single thread Of o spiders
web, which reached to q corner Of the
bench above, and had its fastening
there. On the mouse's tail quietly sat
the spider, which seemed t. be manipu-
lating the thread, and working it as
with pulley. When caught, the mouse
was on the ground, and, after five or six
hours work, the spider managed to
hoist it about an inch, and there it
hung. The statement concerning this
singular affair is, that the mouse was
accustomed, when on predatory ext
cursion, to emerge from q hole under
the bench, and pass to an inner room.
The spider laid trap in its path, it is
coniectured, and yesterday morning, as
the mouse was making its daily rounds,
it was caught and securely held in the
net set for it, the spider taking up DO
sition on its tail. Though the mouse
hung suspended, dead weight, the
thread did not give way, and there it
hung, helpless, between earth and
heaven. At night the carpenter closed
up his shop, and dropped the curtain on
the show, but the spider was still at
work, and had completed about an inch
inthe elevation.-MetO Orleans Picdyune.

The Vanderbilt Punch.

Commodore Vanderbilt has some rea-
son to regret the winding up Of Brother
Moody's great campaign, which came to
an end last night. Although the vener-
able Commodore did not attend the
meetings in person, and "get religion"
as his ancient friend, Thurlow Weed,
had fondly hoped he would all along;
nevertheless, he secured considerable
profit frOm them from the first. You
see he owns the Fourth Avenue Rail
road, and the daily and nightly passage
of multitudes of people to and from the
Hippodrome, was of great benefit to
that concern, which, by the way, is the
one that requires its conductors to
punch
blue trip slip for an eight cent fare,
pink trip slip for 3 dI cent fare,
bun trip slip for three cent fare,
All in the presence Of the pAssenjGire
These familiar lines remind me of
something. In the Commodore's cars
is printed rule to the effect that when
the conductor receives a fare he must
Immediately punch, in the presence Of
the passenger, etc. A chap with q
marking pot got into one of those cars
the other day, and, when the conduct
or's back was turned, this vandal got
up and drew heavy black line over "in
the presence OF, leaving the conductor
an imperative command to punch the
passenger" right away after collecting
the passengers fare. Pretty soon a
man of about the size and build of John
Morrissey stepped in, and, on seeing
the new order, he handed the conductor
sir canta and then said.
NOW, then, do you want to punch
me?"
"Oh, don't bother; I'm busy"
Well, 1 want to know whether you're
agoin' to punch me or not2"
What do want to punch ye for?"
"Why, don't you fellows on this road
have to obey orders?"
it?"
What's that got to do with itP
Can't ye read? Amt the order right up
there before ye? Now, if ye want to
punch, jest go ahead"
The conductor looked up at the no.
tice, and then looked around and saw
the chap with the marking pot sliding
off the car. The passengers smiled, and
the big fellow edged up to a seat, re-
marking:
81 Jest want any conductor on this
here road to understand that if there's
any punchin' goin' on, he can count me
in every time. ."-NelO York Cor. Hart

OUR CORRESPON DENCE.
Public School Interrogatories

Is our presen: Board of County
School Commissioners legally consti-
tuted body? The law pertaining to
appointments in our opinion requires
full board.
According to the school law Allega-
ny is entitled to three Commissioners.
Such Board does not now exist and
has not for several months past, there
being but two members.
Now, the point raised is-can two
Commissioners be considered a legally
constituted body, in the absence of a
third-one not being appointed? We
contend that the law contemplates
that the number shall be full, acknow-
Lodging meanwhile that two members
constitute quorum. Will some one
enlighten the pnblic on the subject ?

TIE COUNTY LEvy.-This interest
ing paper will be found in our adver-
Using columns, careful perusal will
show throughout the diligent endeav-
or of the Commissioners to keep coun-
ty expenses to the lowest figures COM
patible with the necessities Of admins
tration. This effort was one Of no lit
tie magnitude and required careful
scrutiny and economical appropria-
tions. That our Commissioners have
done the best that could be accom-
plished can scarcely be matter of
question; at least tax payers will natu-
rally and gratefully accept a DISPOSE
ton Of county affairs which keeps tax
es from increasing.
The document will also show the
superior clerical skill of the clerk, Mr..
DAVIDSON Armstrong. AS heretofore,
his showings are placed under general
and particular headings, so that the
least conversant will have little or no
difficulty in apprehending the charges
upon which the levy is based. 1t will
repay careful inspection.
We copyfromthe Neavs summary
of the work done:
Again our honest and efficient board Of
commissioners are to be congratulated on
their management Of the county's finances
for, despite the fact that the road levy is
about $500 more than last year; the court
expenses $4,000 as compared with $1,17s
last year; magistrates and constables' fees
800 more, and several other items of ex.
penditure somewhat increased, others have
been so pared down as to make the totaI
levy only $1sO,5395s as compared with
$120, 427 .0S last year, so that the rate Of tax
alton is 1-16 of cent more than last year
and the taxpayers will have full benefit o
the reduction of three cents on the 500
made by the last General Assembly, or in
other words the State and county tax this
year will be "a cents, instead of 81 last year
And from this sum, as will be seen by NO
tice appended to the levy statement, the
usual liberal discount is to be allowed.
