The Electoral College,

The electoral college Of the United
States consists of electors from each
State, chosen by the people, in number
equal to the whole number of Senators
and Representatives The electors meet
in their respective States and vote by
ballot for President and ce-President.

sons voted for, and the number of votes
cast for each, sign and certify this list,
and send it, sealed, to the president OF
the Senate at Washington. This indi-
vidual must open all of these certif-
Gates, and announce their contents in the
presence of both Houses of Congress.
The person having the greatest number
of votes is then declared President, If
such number be a majority of all the
electors appointed. Congress; deter
mines the times of choosing electors,
also the day on which they shall cast
their votes. This day must be the same

Pittsburgh known as Kate Fallon, the
wife of celebrated forger and counter
feiter. Upon being charged with the
Erie robbery this person Indignantly
denied all knowledge of either the City
Bank or its former cashier, but upon be-
ing suddenly addressed as Mary Kin
naird" by the elder Warren, her
changing countenance was testimony
against her, and the subsequent dis
covcry that her Pittsburgh house and
furniture had been purchased with some
of the bills from the robbed bank sealed
her fate. Tried at Erie, identified by
her victim and by the landlord of her
former cottage, and seeing no chance of
escape, she finally confessed her guilt.
Throwing herself upon the clemency
of the court, she told how her young
brother had gone to prison for attempt
ing to pass counterfeit money for her
husband, and how she had planned and
executed the ruin of the vain young
bank officer by whose instrumentality
the boy was brought to justice. But the
court did not deem her case Il proper
one for mercy and she was sentenced to
prison for life. Nine years later the
governor pardoned her, in consideration
of testimony respecting her husband,
by which the latter dangerous counter
feiter was sent to take her place, and she
came out of her cell, mere specter of
her former self, to become but q specter
indeed very soon thereafter.
As for Edward Warren, the Buffalo
News, from which chiefly these facts are
compiled, says that he and his devoted
old father departed for some Western
State Immediately after hisrelease from
prison, and, as the events above de-
scribed occurred only about thirty years
ago, he may be yet in the land of the
living. Aside from it's common admoni-
tion for all men holding Offices of trust
that uniform prudence socially, no less
than incorruptible integrity financially,
is essential to safety, his story illustrates
very dramatically what may be called the
heroism of evil in woman nature.

The Perils of Cr0quet.

There is some science, little mys-
tery, and a good deal of uncertainty
about the game of croquet. The other
day, when a Detroit clergyman made an
evening call on one of his congregation,
and was invited to play game, he was
only too glad, remarking that such
social games served to place pastor and
parishioner on a more friendly foot
ing. Before the first game was out a
young lady hit him in the back with her
mallet; he fell over an arch, and two
of the players decided never to darken
his church again on account of his cheat
ing. In the midst of croquet you can't
tell where you are.

owing to the fact that we sowed part OF
the field to rye, we could not pasture
after the first of September. The grass
on this meadow was as thick and heavy

replied that the Vicar General has de-
termined to deem the order beyond

fishes chapels in connection with meet

bodies and discards the mysterious
signs and pass words. 1t is under
stood that the societies will participate

By some means the report has gone

This place took part, as body, III the
memorial ceremo lies Of the 10th.
This is not SO. Perhaps there were
individuals among them who attended
and showed II respectful sympathy to
the observances, but as an organized
body they took no part. We rather
dislike to make this statement, Le-
cause it spois such nice little senti
mental story. Already are number
of our State papers making original
remarks about the blending of the
"Blue and the Gray" on this occasion,
while the "bloody chasm" is bridged
over with words of such tender and
forgiviog love as to bring tears into
the eye of potato. TAe "BLues'
strewing the graves of Confederates

very touching and beautiful scene if
it had happened, but yon see it didn't.
We rise to make this statement in
order that the truth of history may be
