What 1t Costs to Swear in York.-N. B.
Hetrick, a farmer of North Codorus
township, York county, visited York
last week and something occurring to
ruffle his temper, he relieved himself by
getting rid of several oaths. A police
officer happening to be in the vicinity
arrested him and took him before JUS
tice. Several oaths he used cost him 81
cents each, and for using one phrase
three times he was charged 40 cents
each; total charge, $13.95.
A little of that kind of medicine here
would have good effect
A Curiosity.-A. M. Markell, Esq, was
last week the recipient of curious pres
ent, sent by former client who is
temporarily sojourning at Cherry Hill.
1t consists of box made to represent
book handsomely bound, and which
opens by drawing a slide which causes
large black snake to dart its head out
almost into the face of the person open
ing the box. The word +" love" is carved
on the side and the intention is to rep
resent the deceitfulness of woman as
the prisoner lays his fall to the faithless-
ness of one he had placed his affections
upon, and who he says deceived him.
The person opening the box and not
knowing the consequence is apt to have
startling surprise, and the chances are
he will hastily drop the book. The con-
trivance was made by the prisoner with
no tools but his pocket knife.
