From the Homeric age, to the present

a two-year-old Arabian flly with red

mark as evinced by the answer:

Man Is always hravest and best in

in this neighborhood. Phrenologists

fail to repress vulgarity and disorder.
To secure this, you should have full
complement Of officers, each Of whom
should understand his duties before go-

could arise during the pendency of a
race or afterward. Difference Of opin-

PRIZES FOR RIDING IN OMNIBussEs-A Sidney,
Australia, letter in the Springfield Republican,
sayS:-The omnibus traffic is something amaz-
ing. The company have instituted a cneck upon
the dishonesty Of the drivers by selling num-
bered tickets with corresponding number on
the end, which you tear off and keep with
bright anticipation of future aftluenee for every
three months they have drawing, at which
they distribute $500. 1t is great fun to watch
people when they buy their tickets. Some in
different ones pop number and all into the box.
then there Is heard a groan from some one
who has hungered and thirSted for a prize.
Then clergyman gets In. He does not believe
in lotteries, and has denounced them ''offici-
ally" He jerks the number off, throws it down;
1t lodges on his knee; he feels that to throw 1t
away places temptation before some one else:
he picks it up, fusseS with it awhile, and finally
puts it into his pocket, probably to bum when
he gets into the quiet of his study. Next comes
lady, who passes gentleman SiXpence for two
tickets; he removes the number, places the
ticket in the box and, presently, the lady says,
Il will trouble you for those tickets, SIR" The
gentleman hands them back, satirically asking,
my good woman, do you expect to win a
price" She snappishly replies, II expect to
keep my numbers till l know, anyhow" Very
soon he leaves; but before he gets out wishes
her success with her ticket with as much bitter
ness as If She had done him out Of the WIN
ming number.

LIEUT. PRovoST's LOVE LETTER.-A young
man named William S. Provost OF New BrunS-
wick, n. j., enlisted early in the rebellion in
the firstsregtment of New Jersey infantry. He
was shortly afterwara promoted by GOV. Olden
to leutenancy in the Eleventh New Jersey
regiment. He received gunShot wound In the
shoulder at Gettysburg. In crossing a small
creek near the spot where he was wounded he
took off his blouse to enable comrade to
Staunch the flow of blood. He threw the blouse
to passing soldier. The soldier was lost in the
crowd and Provost never again saw the blouse.
When his regiment was mustered out of service
Provost returned to his home in New Bruins
wick. On Monday last he received letter from
a gentleman named Cashier In Philadelphia.
The letter said that Mr. Cashier had in large
envelope In his possession a pair of Heutenant's
shoulder straps, an officers commission in the
eleventh New Jersey regiment, signed by Gov.
Olden letter from lady addressed to Lieut..
Provost, and photograph of lady. Mr.. Cast
ner wished to know whether Lieut.. Provost was
alive. Mr. Provost, who is well known in the
neighborhood of Pennington. n. j., where he
now resides, went to Philadelphia Immediately
and obtained the article described. Mr.. Cashier
said that his mother had died lately, and while
examining her private papers he found the en-
yelope containing the shoulder straps, the let
ter, &c. The letter in the envelope had Mr..
Provost's old New Brunswick address upon 1t.
1t was from his lady love, who has since become
his wife. He carried 1t into the battle in the
breast pocket of the blouse that he threw to the
soldier.

telegram from Whitehall, March IL SAYS
The knickerbocker Ice Company and several
other companies from New York and places
along the Hudson river have large numbers OF
men engaged on South Bay cutting ice. It is
estimated that there are now secured between
mere and Iiconderoga about 500, 900 tons, and IL
the weather should continue favorable for q
lew days longer there will be over million
tons harvested There are one thousand men
between here and Fort Ticonderoga at work
night and day cutting and piling ice.
In addition to companies from New
York, Albany and Troy, many of our citi-
zens are cutting and stacking ice for specu-
lation. Among them are the Hon. H. G. Bur-
leigh, A. p. Cooke, H. r. Walt, Waters & Nc
FerreD, Eddy Brothers, A. Gilligan. j. II. Sulli-
van, Wetherby q Co., Bartholomew Brothers,
Hurtubls & Co. and Skeeles Brothers. At Chip.
mans Point the ShOleS Brothers have an Inn
menSe pile ready for shipment. In fact. in this
town and for twenty-five miles north OF here,
on both sides OF the lake. the people are wild on
the ice question. All Of the fee harvested near
here is piled on docks where It can be readily
transferred to canal boats and run down to New
York city In very few days. If the people OF
New York suffer for Ice next summer IL will not
be because there was not enough harvested
though, OF course, 1t will cost the companies
considerable more TO secure 1t. Adyices from
localities further north on Lake ChamplSin,
and also on Lake George, are that every where
large quantities OF ice have been gathered with
the hope of selling 1t in the New York market.
