A Kangaroo Motion.

He came out of the side gate with a
kangaroo motion to his legs, and an ex-
preston of countenance that would have
frozen tramp into solid block Of ice
in six seconds. Then he turned, and
while he held TO the fence with one hand
he shook the other at the house in q
wild, strange manner. Then he stood
ON one foot and felt OF the other as ten
derIy as il he was caresslng q new
blown rose. "Was it all there?" He
seemed to doubt, and that same wild
expression foated over his countenance
as again and again he waved his arm
around his head and shook his fiRt atan
unseen enemy.
A white scared face appeared at q
window. and the man danced up and
down ON his leg and cried ont:
"NcverI Never again on earthI"
A white hand behind the glass
beckoned to him, but he waved his arm
and replied:
81 won't Til send up six men with
blocks and tackled"
The white face was pressed against
the pane and the blue eyes had beseech-
ing look, but the man hobbled along on
the grass and growled out:
'I'n smash the Internal thing with an
axeI"
Then lady appeared in the door and
seemed to want to explain something,
but he threw down his hat with an
awful whack and interrupted her
with:
II tell We I'm going down town to have
this foot amputated, and, and when you
see me dumping around with an old
wooden pedestal you'll remember that
/ told You we ought to turn the house
around instead of trying to move that
old cook-stove into the back kitchenl"

SWEET SABBATH BELLS.

Ring on, ring on, sweet Sabbath bell,
Thy mellow notes love TO hear;
Twas boy when first they fell
In melody upon mine ear.
In those dear days long past and gone,
When sporting here in boyish glee,
The magic of thy Sabbath tone
Awoke emotions deep In me.
Long years have gone, ana have strayed
out DER the world, far, far away,
But thy dear tones have round me played
on every lovely sabbath day.
When strolling DER the mighty plains,
Spread widely in the unpeopled west,
Each Sabbath morn I've heard tiny strains
Tollng the welcome day of rest.
Upon the rocky mountain crest
Where christian feet have never trod,
In the deep bosom of the west,
I've thought OF thee and worshipped God.
Ring ON, sweet bellI I've come again
To hear the cherished call TO prayer,
There less of pleasure now than pain
In those dear tones which fll my ear.
Ring on, ring on, dear bell, ring onl
Once more I've come with whitened head
To hear thee toll. The sounds are gone!
And ere this Sabbath day has sped
shall he gone, and may no more
Give ear 10 thee, sweet sabbath bell
Dear church and bell, so loved OF yore,
And childhood's happy home, farewell!

IN THE eoLDsMID CASE


The Court said 1t is to be observed slso, which
is observation Of Importance in this case that the
injury to the plaintiffs land is not confined to his
lake, TO which many of the witnesses for the de-
PENDANTS direct their testimony; but in point Of
fact it extends to the whole of his land But it is
important to observe what the position Of the gen.
tleman in the situation Of the plaintiff is. II he

1t will be Observed that two points were decided

which they pleaded IroscriPtive right, which was,
in this instance, agsirst law but which was not

which the State Government was infused with po

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.
Another Day Spent in Selecting a
Jury.
EX-SENATOR SPENCER GONE TO CAN
ADA.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The effort to procure
jury in the Star route trial was resumed this
morning. At the time of adjournment yester-
day there was one juror (John H. Crane)
sworn and ten others in the box who had pass
ed the gauntlet of challenges on the part of
the defence but who We're still open to challen-
ges oy the prosecution. No objection was made
ana tney were sworn. s. III. Williams was
challenged peremptorily. Reese Evans was
sworn IN. Robert Gilmore (colored) was chal-
leDged peremptorily Frank Renshaw was
sworn. James III. Lisbon was peremptorily
challenged. John B. Sheriff. John FL. Vernon,
and jackson Howard (colored) were sworn
This exhausted the twelve men who had pass
ed the challenges on the part of the defence,
elgnt oil them being sworn as Jurors The
prosecution then proceeded from the others sum
moned on the panel to select four more Jurors
who are to be afterwards open to challenge by
the defence. Mason Lowery took his seat in
the jury box. John e. Latham, o. G. Green
ana John M Young were severally allowed to
take seats in the jury box without challenge
from the prosecution thus making the four on
Wnom ine defence had still to exercise the
right OF challenge.
Mason, Lowery and o. G. Green were ao-
cepted and sworn. No other jurors being pre-
sent talesman were sent for. The marshal was
ulrected TO summon ten more for tomorrow
morning and the court adjourned.
