An exchange says: A poor vine dresser
of Burgundy drew from lottery prize Of
$50 600. Thankfully he gave $4,000 for
the building of a church in his native vii
lage, and then, with his family, he went to
Paris, where, in one year, he spent the re-
mainder of his money. He then returned
to his village and became the SEXTON OF his
church. This is not at all wonderful. AAe
only surprising part of 1t is that his breth-
ren would have anything at all to do WITH
him after he had lost his money.

offered the money say il was all JOKE. To
hear the gentlemen testify would incline

the $4,000 ,UOo that they wanted to get out
of the Treasury, the Commonwealth might
settle down to that belief, 8 uut that's Il.

Certain members Of the Democratic party
profess to be greatly alarmed lest United
States troops be used to quell disorders at
the polls. They were not so alarmed when
the Rebels were aTming to overthrow the
government. They did not manifest alarm
when Rebel soldiers seizei United States
property, and prosecuted all who dared to
offer the least objection to their work. If
there had been no rebellion, soldiers would
not have been used TO fruStrate their revo-
/ lutionary war in the interest of human
slavery. Only the man who cemmits mur-
der need fear the gibbe:.

On Wednesday last, Mrs. Russell Fields,
residing near 0rrstown, while in the act of
taking eggs from hens nest, in the barn,
near vicious horse, had the terrible mis-
fortune to lose one of her ears. II seems
