QMerN !?

The Philadelphia Enquirer" of Tuesday
says: "How long will it be before the
City Treasurer of Wilmington, Delaware,
Hon. Francis Vincent's plan of direct rail
road connection from New York to Pekin,
by way Of Behring's Straits, and from there
by line of road in the neighborhood of be-
tween latitude 40 and 50, to London, with
branches to Calcutta and Bombay, will be
adopted. A man may then 20 around the
world without changing his seat or couch

Correction,

We are authorized by the Chairman Of
the Committee on Lectures and Entertain
ments Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciatien, (Mr. Henry W. Morrow) to say
that the Tableaux Of Bunyan's Pilgrims
Progress, announced to be exhibited under
the auspices Of said association is false, ss
no such an arrangement has been entered
into or even intimated. The members OF
this association guard 1t very zealously.
The Morning herald., 1877-03-08
The Cause.

The bright light which was seen in the
northern part of the city, and caused an
alarm of fire to be rung on Tuesday night,
was the burning OF the sage-grass In Std
hams woods, which was evidently set on
fire by tramps or bad boys.

: a PET F1sH.-We have heard once or twice
in our life ofsuch thing as a pet fish, but never
hsd the opportunity or pleasure CT seeing one
until Sundsy last. Mr.. Joseph Sprouts, near
Mendoza, had very large black perch IN his
spring, and which he has had in there for i've
years, he can 90 to the watel's edge, pick it up,
rub it, feed it and play with ii. I'LL OF which 1t
seems to enjoy IS would y dog, horse, or DINER
animal. We tried it and i. was as play ful with
us as with Mr. Sprouts. He caught it i've
wears ago out Of tho North Fork CT Hoiston
with hook, and put it i'll his spring, and has
kept it there safely and mado y special pet OF It
ever since 1t is about twenty inches long and
four to six wide. If shy ono Of our readers
should happen in the neighborhood 60 10 SEQ it
it will pay you.--A6ingdon Vira!ntaH.

INDIAN JUSTICE.


Pute Indians haye summary and eff
fectve way of dealing with their "iair
but frall" ones. San Indian" says the
Reno Jomnal," known as Sam lost lis
squaw through the Establishments OF
another red man named jim. 1t seems
that the tair Mary fel! a victim to Jim's
tender words, and at his solicitation left
her husbands bed and board and joined
the fortunes of jim. Sam was not one to
quietly submit TO this treatment, plrticu-
larry Us Mary had taken some of her
husbands goods when she Departed
The loss of these added much to the wrath
OF the victimized Sam, who raised such a
commotiOn among the Put, braves
about 1t that they determined t. teach the
frail Mary, and by her example the rest
| OF the female portion of the tribe, les
| son. Jim tried to screen her from The
gathering STERN by hiding her, but
they soon found her, and about fifty
Of the tribe, including Jim and several
| squaws, escorted her to the hills just
| back OF Washoe Lake whcle, safe
from Caucasian intrusion, they
made huge pile OF sage brush, and, at.
ter tying her firmly in the middle OF it,
set 1t on fire. Then they commenced a
war dance around the scene OF cremation
in which all joined except Jim-Sam be-
Ing very fierce in his leaps and yclls. The
screams Of Ma. y added to the zeal OF the
