A Charleston, S. c., paper says some
sailors caught queer fish in the har-
Dor there. at is a foot long, has a
head like frog, its body being like
that of any other fish, except that in
stead of the fore fin there are two large
wings, eight inches long and five inch
es across. The wings are speckled
like those of a whip-poor-will, and are
formed of very thin, transparent film,
instead of feathers. y

A Clerical Irnposture.

The following case was rela ted to me
by a Bishop Of the Church of England.
There was a man who had oficiated as
a clergyman in a large town for about
fifteen years. At the lapse of that
time it was accidentally discovered that
he was an imposter. A new Bishop
came, !or the man wentinto anew diocese:
anyhow, the request came That he would
produce his letters of orders. Letters
of orders are rather precious and re-
markable documents; il once they are
lost they cannot be replaced. The
pseudo clergyman replied. expressing
his great regret that, in the course of a
removal, the letters had been hopeless
ly mislaid, but hoped that the length
of time during which be had served In
the diocese would be considered a
sufficient voucher. The Bishop wrote
back to say that he regretted
the loss Of the letters Of orders, and
that it would be quite sufficient II he
gave exact dates, which would enable
him to refer to the diocesan registry.
The imposture then became known. 1t

what had best be done under such cir
~cumstances. OF course o very large
number of marriages had been per-
formed during these 15 years not one OF
which was legal. The first suggestion
was that an act should be passed MAX
ing these marriages legal. There were
objections to this course. It was consid-
cred that an immense deal Of pain would
be caused by the republication Of the inva-
1idity D fthese marriages, and that pecul-
lar hardships would be done IN the case
of children, where one OF both of the
parents had died in the meantime. On a
certain evening there was q solemn dis
cussion between the Bishop Of the do
ccse and the Home Secretary the result
Of which was a communication to the
yillainous false Clergyman that, il he
left England Immediately and forever,
proceeding would not be taken but that
otherwise be would be prosecuted.

can be felt at the wrist there are goo6

A LARGE audience greeted the ex-
ercises Of the lyceum on last. Mon
day evening. Mr.. Joseph Nicklin
opened the exercises in reading
from Mark Twain, and was followed
by David Dodd in a defamation on
the prosperity of West Virginia.
The question for debate was Resolv-
ed, "That more information is re-
ceived from reading than from oh
servation," and was argued. in the
affirmative by Lee Bender and A s.
Hughes, and in the negative by j..
w. Dodd and Grant Pitzer The
debate, as expected was replete with
practical and theoretical arguments
and very interesting and amusing.
The decision of the Judges was for
the affirmative. There will he no
meeting of the lyceum next Monday
night. on account of the lecture of
Hon. Daniel b. Lucas on Virginia's
great statesman, John Randolph,
of Roanoak," on Monday night, the
9th. This lecture will be given for
the benefit of the lyceum. and when
we take into consideration the elo-
quence of the lecturer, and the small
price of admission, there is no rea-
son why the hall should not be
crowded. 1t will occur in Feller's
Hall, and the price Of admission is
but 10 cents.

The first Leap Year party was held
by the members of the celebrated
Broom Brigade. in Wysong Hall on

where they had provided a string
band for the occasion. In fact they
played the gallant all through, seek
