HALF TO THE INFORMANT.

An s0ld Doctor contributes to the Charlottesville { Va. Chronicle the following amusing story
 ..In colonial times, when Colonel Archibald Cary was magistrate, lvlng at Williamsburg. man who was much disliked by hls neighbors on account of his vindicuyeness and general meanness, came before the old Colonel, and informed him that his neighbor. John Brown, had yio- lated the game law by killing deer before the 1st of September. Now, although Brown was 8 goud, honest. poor man, much esteemed by his ac- quaintances, Esquire Cary was bound to issue a warrant for his arrest, and when Brown appeared before him he confessed that he had killed the deer, knowing at the same time that be was violating the law, but that his wife had a great longing for venisOn, and knowing that deer daily ire 9uented his corn field, she gave him no peace. He had begged her to wait q little while, till the 1st of September, but she vowed she could not wait. So he killed the deer The old magistrate, seeming full of com passion, said, Brown, the law is ex- plicit you will have to pay the fine, which is e5.'
 Lord bless your heart, Colonel Cary, said Brown, all I have on earth would not sell for 95.
 We'll, then, said the justice, turning to the law and reading, with out paying strict attention to punc- tuation CT the exact position of the words, Whoever shall be guilty of shooting, snaring, trapping, or in any way killing a deer within this, Ills Maiesty's Colony of Virginia, at any time between the 1st of May and the 1st of Sempember, shall pay & fine of 95. and If he IS unable to do this, the punishment shall be awarded by 39 lashes on the bare back, well laid on. one-half to be given to the in- formant, and the other half to the King. 'Mr. Constable, said bis Honor, as We are enioined to dC justice and love mercy, and where an odd amount, which IS not capable of and equal division is to be divided, between B rich man and a poor man, I always give the poor man the larger share you will, therefore, give the informant in this case the 20 Iashes. and whenever you catch his Majesty, the King. in this colony, you will then give him the 19' So the maj esty of the law was maintained, much to the satisfaction of all who knew the Odious informant" ;"

Among the eases now before the committee on claims of the Senate IS the historical one concerning the Uuited States private armed bng General Armstrong, destroyed by a British fleet in the neutral port Of Fayal, belonging to the Kingdom Of Portugal, in September. 1814 The Armstrong was commanded by the late Commodore s. c. Reid. of New York. and his son, Colonel Samuel c. Reid, IS now prosecuting this claim in behalf of himself and the heirs of the officers and crew. l. IS alleged that the battle of the Arni- suong so crippled and delayed the Biitish fleet, which was destined for Nt.g Orleans, that t was the means of saving that city from capture by the British. as General Jackson's forces only arrived four days previ- ou; to the English fleet, which was detained over ten days at Fayal in refitting and burying their dead Their loss was nearly three hundred in killed and wounded, while ti.e loss of the Amencans was only two klll- ed and seven wounded

A Texas scorpion.
[Corpus Christi Ledger. ]


There is aspecies of stinging scorpion found
in the river bottoms of Western Texas, whose
method Of propagation Is not spoken oil In our
text books on natural history. Immediately
after the birth OF her young the female places
them In a basket-shaped receptacle ON her
back, where they at once attach themselves
and commence sucking her blood. OF course
the mother soon succumbs to this unfilaI
treatment and begins to droop The young
ones are by this time sufficiently nourished 70
demand more substantial food, and they kill
their mother and devour her. Should one OF
the young ones become detached from the liv-
ing nest 1t Is at once killed and feasted upon
by the mother. Thus it seems that while the
female willingly sacrifices her life to her off
spring, yet she does not hesitate to kill them
should they be SO devoid OF instinct as to re-
fuse to remain where she places them after
birth. While thisis going on the male parent
stands around, evidently ..bossing the job
The entire proceeding illustrates q remark
able phase of nature, and Is worthy of the
fieFfuI 8
