The Ninth Epistle of Timothy.

The child sneezed seven times, and the
child opened his eyes.-Scripture. (See
H. Kings iv. 35l.
This shunamite's child, after sitting upon
his mothers knee until noon, died. The first
symptom Of returning consciousness was the
sneexing induced by the prophet Elisha's
efforts to restore the child to life. The pro-
phet was doubtless more anxious to perform
the miracle from interest in the parents than
from love of the child, for on his journey
from the Ehumanite's to Bethesda he cursed
lot Of little children for calling him bald
headed, ana Gods bears chawed up forty two
of them.

Spencer.

JANUARY lStu,
January 9Th party was given by
Mrs. Harrison Foster, for her father
V. w. Parent, who had reached his
62nd birthday. His brother Benjamin
and family from Fulton county, sis
ter and her husband from Rochester,
cousins from LAGRANGE, his children,
relatives and several families of the old
residents of Spencer to the number of
scventy-five or more, had all been in
vited unbeknown to Mr.. Parent, whose
surprise to find these all present when
he had come up with his wife to spend
as he supposed quiet day, may be bet
ter imagined than described. But
another surprise was in store for him.
After the table was set, loaded with the
good things of this world, splendid
rocking chair was brought in to the
parlor, Mr.. Parent was decoyed into
position, when in behalf of his children
the chair was presented in a few words
by j. Ii. Welcher, who asked him to be
seated, after which Mr.. Welcher took
pair of gold spectacles and. placed
upon his nose saying: "Your friends
present think that an old gentleman like
you in such nice chair, would loox
better with nice pair of glasses, and
IS token of our united regard, allow
me to present them." Mr.. Parent was
too much surprised to say more than
''I thank you ALL" and the embarras-
ment was relieved by an adjournment
to the dinner tables. The occasion was
highly enjoyed by all.
ONE VINO WAS THERE.

MARONE AND HILL.-In the Senate,
on last Wednesday, the Knight of the
Sorrowful Visage," who registers as
Malone. Virginia." when punching
his lance at Ben. Hill, Of Georgia, was
treated with contempt, as the Knight
of De la Mancha was by the Gagged
lion, as described by Cervantes.
1t is difficult to determine which OF
these mad knights presents the most
ludicrous spectacle. The high tragedy
of Malone, as acted by him, becomes a
low farce, and instead of exciting emo
tions of terror, making each particular
hair to stand on end like the quilts upon
the fretful porcupine." his heroic antics
are or seted With broad grin, express
sive of mingled emotions Of contempt
and amusement.
