The Girls Not Equal to IL.

While girls unquestionsbly have their
uses in the economy of nature, and pos
sess merits exclusively their own, it may
be boldly asserted that they are totally
unfit 10 pursue IN company with young
men the studies which constitute the cur.
riculum of every respectable college.
One of the earliest studies of the Fresh.
man wear is the art of getting the jsni-
tors COW into the fourth story OF the
dormitory. This can be readily mast
cred by any young man of good sbili-
ties and habits of industry and perse.
versnce; but between girls snd cews
there is a CREST gulf fixed. The girl,
from her earliest youth, looks upon the
COW as terocious beast, prone to keep
Young ladies in the air in positions istsl
to the proper arrangements OF the back
hair. To suppose that three or tour
Young lady students are capable of the
Complicated pushing and pulling necess.
sry to induce q COW to climb several
flights Of stairs is 10 suppose thst..the nst-
ursl feminine fear of cows can be ersdi-
cs,ed by the process of mstriculs;ion,
Thus We see that one Of the easiest oil
college studies is quite beyond the range
of the female intellect--N. J.. TINS.

A Prolific sheep.
Wayenesburgh Messenger.


We learn that Mr.. Alexander Cump.
ston, OF Welzel county, West Va, pur'
chased from Mr.. Abe Taylor, near Jol.
leytown, about year since, single sheep
which had been raised as pet, and a
short time after taking his new purchase
home, she gave birth to three fine,
healthy lambs, all of which she raised
in good style. In just ten months from
that date, this remarkable eve again
came up the scratch, sin the course OF
events" with. three more finely devei.
oped lambs, which she gives promise CT
raising as she did her former trio, the
triplets doing well at latest sdvices:
This is certainly a remarkable "frcak OF
nature" and if we were going into the
sheep business, We should tly hard TO
procure some of Mr.. Taylor's prolific
stock. If any one can beat this, let us
hear from them, but don't send US any
"black sheep stories" as the one we have
given is reliably vouched for as "true and
correct"

Our Baptist friends have just closed a
revival meeting, conducted by Rev. II.
Lsngford and Pat. Murry, which result
ed in some eighteen persons protesting
faith in Christ, and fourteen baptized,
last Sunday in Coons Run.
Rev. A. l.. McReever, of the Metho-
dist Protestant church, and other mlnis-
ters began q series of revival meetings at
Bobtown. Some thirty have professed
faith in Christ, and q number OF access
ions to the church have been MADE.
May the good work go on until there
will not be sinner lett TO advocate the
cause OF sin.
The Methodist PrLtestants at this
place propose to commence q protracted
meeting mex. Sunday. May they
also be successful in their efforts.

The Washington special Of the New

among the triumphant silver men to-
ward Hayes is one Of mingled resent
ment and contempt, and there is no
telling to what it may lead. The gener-
al expression is, that Hayes has added
the crime of an attempt to thWaFt the
will Of tho people to the fraud Of bis
tenure, and the men who 90 savAgely
kicked his veto out of the Capitol
building r Ia q fine frame of mind to
complete their triumph by kicking him
out Of the White House. But whether
Hayes 10 molested or not, It is certain
that a most determined effort will be
made to get John Sherman out Of the
Cabinet, and that without delay.
It is stated on high authority that
Hayes did not make up his mind to
veto the bill until last night, and that
his decision was caused by assurances
from Belmont that the veto would DO

completely dumbfounded by the per-
