Most people see some fun in practi-
cal joke unless it is played upon them-
selves, and then, of course, the case is
different. There is an arrangement
called lifting machine, which may be
seen at certain saloons in this and other
cities, which operates on the principle
of the health-lift, only it adds electricity
to the other benefits it bestows. The
bar tender generally turns on the light
ming, aud the amusement comes in when
the victim expresses his disapproyal by
various exceedingly funny contortions
and generally some very emphatic re-
marks regarding the operation. Mr..
VIM. Weber, of New York, went into
a saloon in that city and was induced
to attach himself to one of those lively
instruments. Like the man who held
on to the bears tail he couldn't let 90.
Being subject to appoplexy the unexpect-
ed stream of electricity did him much
bodily injury, while the heartless jokers
laughed at his miseries for three min
utes and then turned off the galvanism.
Webber has had the perpetrators of the
so called joke arrested and he wants
So 900 damages, and seems likely to get
it. The laugh is now on the other side.

A well known editor, having prin-
ter in his employ who several times a
day would leave his work to get a drink
of whisky, instructed his cashier to drop
ten cents in drawer TO his credit every
time that printer went out. In seven
teen months he had drank himself out
of good situation, and the drawer being
opened contained S409. This was loaned
to a young mechanic, who returned it
with interest to the editor the 18th of
last February saying that he has now
wife, two children, and property worth
$4,000, while the poor printer is hunt

A young man called, in company with
several other gentlemen, upon young
lady. Her father was also present, to
assist her in entertaining the callers.
He did not share his daughters scro-
pies against the use of spurious drinks,
for he had wine to offer The wine was
poured out, aud would have been drank,
but the young lady asked Did you
call upon me or upon papa ?"
Gallantry, if nothing else, compelled
them to answer, I" We called upon you"
Then you will please not drink wine;
| have lemonade for my callers
The father urged the guests to drink,
and they were undecided The young
lady added. Remember, if you call
upon me, then you drink lemonade: but
if upon papa, why, in that case have
nothing to say"
The wine glasses were set down with
their contents untasted.
After leaving :the house, one of the
party exclaimed, "That is the most
effective temperance lecture | have ever
heard"
Indeed, it was sown in good ground.
1t took root, sprang up and is now
bearing fruit. The young man from
whom these facts were obtained broke
off at once from the use of all strong
drink, and is now a clergyman, preach
ing temperance and religion. As he re-
lated the circumstance TO me tears came
into his eyes. He sees now his former
dangerous position, aud holds in grateful
remembrance the lady who gracefully,
and still resolutely, gave him to under
stand that her callers should not drink
wine.

secretary of Chesterfield Grange, Ma

18th, inst. when the subject of what

imous expression of those present was
in favor of the Clawson wheat, and be-
fore the meeting adjourned the follow
ing resolutions were adopted
Resolved, That under the favorable
returns from Clawson wheat, both in
yield and quality, we shall continue to
raise the same, believing that it meets
all the required demands.
Resolved, That we disapprove of the
analyses made by Prof. Prescott, and
recommend that Prof. Kedzie mako an

of wheat, and make full report OF the
