A Schoo1master's Promise.

A correspondent of tho Germantown

his cid schoolmastcr, old Ifaskins:
"Boys," said he, smiliugly, QUO day.

attention, It was like sun peep through
q hoavy storm cloud when "old Haskins"
smiled, and the phenomenon wasunaccouut.

ing shown it you, what no man will over
SEQ again."
ayes, sirp'-"Agreedp-I, vi; sir!"
and various other expressions of acquiess
oence camo from every quarter of tho room;
aud, as q preface to the new state of things,
the school was dismissed at on early hour,
leaving the boys to gaze into caoh others
eyes in nstonishmept, as if to divine ia
each others intuition tho answer to the
riddle which had stolen upon them as
pleasant dream.
An anxious week followed-a week Of
curiosity, bcwildermcpt, hopo and pleasure
in embryo. Out of school it was oil tho
talk, "what 10 man shall ever SEQ again!'

blood was flowing afresh.
Being alarmed he arose to 20 to tho
barber, who lived across tho street; but a
press gang laid hold Of him Just as he left
tho public house. They hurried him to
tho pier where the boat was waiting, and a
few minutes brought them on board a
frigato, then under way for tho East To-
dies, aud he omitted ever writing homo to
account for his sudden disappearance.
These were the chief circumstances cx-
pIained by the friond thus strangely met.

COUsINING.

We think it about time to again put the
following good story in circulation:
A country gentleman, several years ago,
visited Boston, and Immediately repaired
to the house of relative, q lady who had
married merchant. ssTho parties were glad
to sec him and invited him to make their
house his home Gas he had declared his in
tcntion of remaining in the oity but day
or two.) The husband of the lady, aux..
ious to show attention to relative and
friend of his wife, took tho gentlcman's
horso to a livery stsblo in the ncig ghborhood.
Finally, his visit became visitation, and
:he merchant, after tho lapse of eleven days,
found, beside lodging and boarding the
gentleman, pretty considerable bill had
run up at the livery stable. Accordingly
he went to tho man who kept the stable,
and told him when the gentleman took the
horse ho should pay his bill"
"Very good" said the stable keeper; "I
understand you"
Accordingly, in short time, the coun-
try gentleman went to tho stable and or,
dcrcd his horse to bo got ready. The bill
Of course was presented.
"O,' said the gentleman, "NIr.--
my relative, will pay this"
"Very good, cir" said the stable keeper;
"pleaso to got an order from MIR. ---;
it will bo tho same as money"
Tho horse was put up again and down
went the country gentleman to Long
Wharf, on which the merchant kept.
"Well," said he, "I ON going now"
care your" said the merchant. "Foll
good byo."
"Well, about my horse; the man says the
bill must be paid for his Keeping"
"Well, | suppose this is all right, SIR"

The past we eek has been period of the
greatest anxiety, on account of the Presi-
dents condition ~. From Sunday to We'd
nesday it seemed as if the news of his
death might be looked for at any moment
On Wednesday night his symptoms grew
slightly better, but on Thursday again
grew worse. On Friday his condition
was pronounced " extremely critical" and
the dispatches of Saturday, as published
in Sunday mornings Union gave notice
that the physi cians had given up all hope,
and that the President was gradually
sinking, dying from sheer exhaustion
caused by the malignant swelling of the
parotid gland. Since yesterday morning,
news of the Presidents death has been
expected at any moment. The tele-
graph operator at this place on yes
terday heard messages passing over
the lines to the effect that the President
was dying, a nd later, that crisis had
been reached and passed, and that his
condition was steadily improving.
The following special has just been re-
ceived from Savannah:
The President is improving and is thought to
be out of danger.

The researches of P. Plantamour
have shown that every rise in tempera-

in some case quite remarkable.

More Railroaa litigation.


We have received by mail printed
copy of the complaint and affidavits for an
injunction, and the injunction granted by
one of the Justices of the New York SUI
preme Court, in the case of Frank r..
Sherwin against C. D. Willard, Calvin III.
Allen, Adolph Engler and others.
Mr.. Sherwin made an application few
weeks since to Mr.. Justice Woods, of the
U. S. Circuit Court, asking for special
term of that q curt to reopen the order
confirming the sale of the j. F. q M. r.
r. at the special term held at Jackson
vile in July which application was re-
fused.
The injunction granted by the New
York Justice simply restraints Willard,
Allen and Engler from selling or in any
way disposing ofthe road and its branches,
until the final judgment of the court on
the trial of the cause upon its merits-a
thing they were not at all likely to do in
any event.

Prohlbition in Vermont,

Correspondence 81 Louis Globe DemOcrat.]
A st. Adams gentleman whom l ques-
toned about the workings of the liquor
law told me, just as was told in all other
parts of the State, that there was no
troubling in procuring whiskey. He said:
/ am in very funny secret, which is
shared by most of our citizens who like a
little stimulant occasionally. Come with
me-" He took me to cross street and
we entered room which appeared to be
a cigar store, with confectionery, etc.
We took seats at the rear, and my friend
told me to keep my eyes open. Within
twenty minutes / saw ten or twelve gen.
tlemen come in, some in pairs, some singly,
some in little parties, go to the water
cooler, take drink, buy cigars and go
out. Ny friend finally asked me if had
seen any liquor sold, and said, emo"
Nevertheless said he, "every gentle
man who came in here took good square
drink of whiskey and paid for it.'
"Well," said /, "the drink must have
been in the cooler or the cigars. ! knew
it was not in the cigars, for most of them
were lighted before the purchaser left.
1t must be in the cooler"
swell, go and draw some," said he.
went the cooler, held,the glass under
the nozzle and pressed down the button.
/ was rewarded for my exertions by
flow of clear. cold water that soon filled
the tumbler. / was puzzled, and my
friend and the proprietor greatly enjoyed
it. My friend took the empty glass and
drew from the same faucet half glass of
whiskey. If was puzzled before l was
now thunder-struck, and after laughing at
me for a while the trick was explained.
1t was simple: Press down the button
and water runs; press up with the thumb
from below while you appear to press
down with the fore-inger and you get
whiskey open the cooler and you find it
full OF ice-water. The whiskey comes
from cask in hidden closet up stairs,
and flows through small pipe which de-
sends behind the partition, and passes
from the wall into the water-cooler and
connects with the faucet.
