After the Exercises.

At the close of the exercises in the tent,
at r. p. m, the great audience dispersed,
portion to the tents and a majority to dinner
The weather, which nad been threatening all
the morning, now gave signs of clearing. 1t
was all the better for the comfort of the vete-
rams and the host of visitors than blazing
sun and cloudless skies would have been. The
porous soil had allowed the water to run
through it and therefore was soon dry. At
O'Clock the West Waterville Band gave an ex-
cellent concert in front of the Commar der-in-
Chiefs headquarters An immense crowd of
veterans, after dinner, gathered about three
small children, a girl and two boys, who were
ores sed in Zouave costume, and watched them
go through the manual, both silent and by
word of command. A number spent their
time shooting at target, prizes being offered
TO those who rung the bell, by hitting the

all manner of coins, and what appeared like

A great deal of sky-larking was INDUCED in
but it was all good natured. A number of
regimental reunions and elections were held
and the results will be found elsewhere. Gen.

The Evening.


The grove last evening was crowded with
sght-seers, the centre of their wanderings be-
ing the large tent where the Twentieth Maine
were holding their reunion. Several Of the
tents were decorated with Chinese lanterns,
and in some social gatherings were held. In
the tent of tho Fifteenth regiment an audi
ence of fifty we're gathered to listen to a his
torical address by Maj. 81. A. Shorey and Sc
lect readings by Mrs. 7. P. Beals and Miss
Louisa Eaton. Interesting remarks were also
made by Hon. J. A. Locke, Sergt Sprsgue Of
Eaton, Aroostook county, and Sergt. Hanson.
The veterans were nearly all busy with the
association meetings and outside of those
there was nothing occurred more than Of ordi-
nary interest. The immense crowd was very
orderly, as it has been from the beginning.

Some Wills.

Every now and then we see wills in
the illustrated London News which as
tonish us by the magnitude and benev-
olence of the pecuniary requests. Such
are the enormous requests of Mr..
Gardner to the blind, and of the late
Mr.. George Henry Moore, who left
sporadic legacies in every conceivable
direction. We naturally augur all good
ators. But perhaps still higher de-
gree of sympathy and credit ought to
be attached to those generous-minded
beings who have made their benefac-
tions in their lifetime. Such were the
late Mr.. Atwood, whose anonymous ben
efactions of q thousand pounds each
were acknowledged necessarily in the
second column of the Times; the
late Mr.. Kemble, of Bath, whose i'm
mense gifts were of the rarest delicacy
and kindness, and Mr.. Holloway, who
has proved such q benefactor to the in.
sane of the middle class and to the cause
of the higher education of women.
When we read of rich man leaving an
enormous fortune to the Metropolitan
Board of Public Works, we suspect an
unusual combination of the prosaic and
imaginative in his composition. 1t was
much more sensible of Mr.. Neald to
leave his money to the Queen. You
very often find rich people leaving
money to the rich, and even poor people
doing the same thing. Although some
cases may admit of explanation, it
appears to me that this is
an indication of very mean or
der of character, and is car
rying snobbishness beyond the tomb.
The will of Rabelais-if, indeed, this Gu
rious will is really his-gives quite the
spirit of his works: IL have no available
property; owe a great deal; the rest I
give to the poor" One thinks much of
the kind heartedness of people who
leave money to dumb animals, always
provided, however, that they have cut
out their relations in favor of cats and
dogs. Not only to cats and dogs, but to
horses, parrots, and other birds, and even
to fishes, have handsome requests been
left. Even Lord Chancellor Eldon left
a small annuity to his dog, which is
relieving feature in his character Lon
don Society.

4 Man Living With Ms Neck Dlslocated.

An accident occurred recently at Raj
ney, Clarion county, which proved to he
one of the most extraordinary cases ever
recorded in the history Of surgery or
medical jurisprudence. James Gaupell,
Q French Canadian employed at Rainey's
mill, fell from . trestle about twelve
feet to the ground. After recovering
from the shock resulting from the fall,
he was unable to move his head, and DIR.
Edwards, attending physician, discov-
cred that the neck was dislocated and
some of the bones broken; but it was
evident that the spinal COLUMN had not
been severed. The doctor reset and put
the fractured neck in position, and
set about devising means TO put it
in place. until the broken bones
and confused ligaments attain their nor
NAL condition. To this end muslin
bandage three inches wide was wrapped
tightly around the neck, and to it were
attached two Jugs, one on either side. To
these rope was fastened and run over
. pulley fixed TO the ceiling Of the room.
A bucket was suspended ON the other
end Of the rope, and in 1t were placed
various weights, 70 that the patient can
adjust the continuance ~ occasion may
require by simply reaohing 10 the bucket
and removing or adding one or two

The Pleasures OF Freezing.

Jasper Perley, Cattaraugus county
farmer, nearly froze to death recently.
When found, he was insensible in the
bottom of his sleigh. He was rubbed
with snow and otherwise treated to re-
vive the circulation. After a good deal
of thorough manipulation and rubbing,
Perley was brought around, when few
doses of whisky sufficed to restore him
to nearly his normal condition. He
thanked his restorers very heartily, and
gave an account of his misfortune, which
affords some inkling of the sensations of
people who freeze to death.
When he felt no longer able to hold
the reins with any grip, he determined to
seek shelter in the first house until we'll
warmed. His tongue became stiff, then
his arms, sharp chills ran down his back,
and finally it seemed as though
his whole body was being CONCEALED,
causing an almost total concession of the
hearts action. This condition of ex-
IRENE suffering and dependency gave
place to feeling Of grateful warmth,
suffusing the system and causing an ex-
hilarating glow. BY this time he had
reached o house, but he drove on, think
INK that nothing was now to be feared.
The sleigh, instead of crawling along at
snails pace, appeared to glide through
the air with great swiftness, and the
horses fairly flew like pigeons. A sense
of exultation filled the Cattaraugus farm
ers breast as he urged the horse to still
greater speed, and the woods on either
side were passed SO quickly that they be-
came indiktinguishable black lines. Then
the sleigh bells sounded fainter and
fainter, until the chimes disappeared in
the distance. The farmer fell gradually
into q delicious slumber, which came
near being the sleep that knows no
waking, and he knew no more until
brought to life under the vigorous treat
ment.

Feminine Cynicisms.

1.-THE ultimate effect of marriage upon
man is to make all women appear lovely
except her he has married"
''No wonder two persons feel abashed
when they stand at the altar, and prom
Use to love one another forever. They
know they could not keep their promise
if they would; that they would not if
they could. And while they make their
VOWS they are thinking of some delight
full way to break them"
"We may love all our lives without
safety unless we marry. Then we have
safety without satisfaction"
1.-The sin of Adam and Eve was eating
of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, by
which they learned for the first time that
they were man and wife. After that they
lost all capacity for happiness; the
charms of Eden were in vain."
1.-The fact that all women who wed
once and are widowed are apt to we'd
again: only proves the force and the evil
of habit"
"Pity is near akin to love outside of
wedlock; inside of wedlock it is another
name for contempt, and soon destroys all
hope of sympathy"
"Marry in haste and repent at leisure,
is no truer than marry at leisure and
repent forever
''She who converts her lover into a
husband transforms a worshiper into an
intolerable despot."
''Matrimony is the thorn on the rose
of love-"
"Thopet is a place where marriage is
eternal. Wedlock is not determined by
the fates but by fairies"
when we go to the priest to be
united it is clear that we are in danger of
spiritual disunion."
"For the woman who has long been q
wife, death has few terrors."
The couples who want children have
already grown apart, and hope to be re-
united through the offspring"
1.-The brightest idea we can have of
heaven comes from thinking that there
is neither marriage nor giving in mar
riage."
'No woman need despair of fortune so
long as she remains unwedded."
''The way to Hymen's temple is over
the grave of love. When a wife has
secret to tell you, be sure it is the I'M
covered secret that she hates her hus-
band"
"How many persons marry second
time to revenge themselves for what they
have suffered in their first expert
ment."
lone of the greatest faults in woman
is her cowardice. She is so cowardly
that she cannot or will not appreciate
courage in her sisters. This she declares
indecency and so discourages the brave
of her sex from showing any bravery"
"No woman is a heroine unless she
have her hero by her side; and then
heroism is pale reflex of the hero's vir-
tues"
The reason q woman is always hopeful
is because, never understanding herself,
she never suspects that self-knowledge
would reduce her to absolute despair"

A FASHIONABLE CANE OF CARDs.--A
Paris correspondent gives this account
of pretty game of cards now fashion
able in that city: 1.-The participants were
young ladies and gentlemen, who sat in
equal numbers ON either side Of the
table. The cards we're dealt out to each,
and one hand, like ~ in euchre, settled
each wager. The wager played for in
this game is that the lady or gentleman
who gets the ace of hearts end can take q
trick with it, or beat with another card,
has the option to kiss any lady or gentle
man he or she may select. 1t was quite
q study to watch with what perfect sang
froid the gentleman stood up TO receive
the stake he had won, and with what
consummate grace the lady bent her
head to one side 80 that her lucky op-
ponent should receive his pound Of flesh
not to mention the utter indifference of
both to the presence Of friends or strabg-
ers sitting around"

Dangerous Dogs.

In Godeau against Blood, Vermont
case, says the Albany Law Journal, it
was held that in an action for the bite OF
dog, it need not be proved that the dog
had previously bitten mankind, but it is
sufficient to prove that the dog was of a
ferocious nature, had bitten dogs and
horses, and that its keeper had been told
by his neighhors that it was unsafe to
allow it to run at large. and had kept it
confined part of the time, and muzzled
part Of the time when he he had al
lowed it to run at large. The court said:
1.-The duty which the law casts upon the
keeper of malicious and dangerous do
nestle animal is but the enforcement of a
common moral duty. binding upon all
men, that man should 80 keep and use
his own property as not to wrong and in
jure others. In populous place like
Burlington. where the streets are full of
all kinds of people-children sent on
errands, going and returning from
school or church, or playing by the way
side-it is not light thing that they
are in danger of being torn to pieces, as
was this plaintiff. Dogs have their
rights; but if the jury found this dog to
be, as described by one witness, the
most wickedest kind of q dog as we
think is most probable from the perusal
of the evidence, then his right was
securely defined by Chief Justice Lee in
Smith against Pelah: Such q dog should
have been hanged on the first notice; the
safety of the Kings subjects ought not
afterward to be endangered.
