A STRANGE JUMBLE.-A well-known di- vine, Dr. Nudge, had been presented with gold-headed cane, and the same week a patent pig-killing and sausage making machine had been tried at factory in the place of which he (the Dr.) was pastor. The writer of a report of the presentation. and a description of the machine, for the local paper, is thus made by the printers to ''mix things miscellaneously :"-"The inconsiderate Caxtonian who made up the formes of the paper, got the two locals mixed up in. a frightful manner ]; and when we went to press something like this was the appalling result: Several of Rev. Dr. Mudge's friends called upon him yester- day, and after brief conversation, the un- suspicious pig was seized by the hind legs, the hot water-t tank. His friends explain ed the object of their visit, and presented him with very handsome gold headed butcher, who grabbed him by the tail, swung him round, slit his throat from ear to ear, and in less than a minute the car case was in the water. Thereupon he came forward and said that there were times when the feelings overpowerea one :; and for that reason he would not attempt to do more than thank those around him, for the manner in which such huge an- imal was cut into fragments and worked up into delicious sausages. The occasion will long be remembered by the doctors friends as one of the most delightful of their lives. The best pieces can be se- cured for tenpence pound and we are sure that those who have sat SD long un- der his ministry will rejoice that he has been treated SO handsomely"
 A police officer was attracted to the wharf of the steamer Block Island, at a late hour of 8 recent night, by distressful sounds proceeding from several persons, apparently very sick. He met the watch man of the boat and asked him if he had noticed the noise.

 ''The amazed policeman asked for an explanation, saying: 1T see no entertain ment in the distress of our fellow men,"
 ''Yer don't!'' responded the watchman. "W ell, yer would if yer had such feller- men as them. Yer see the cook sets a lunch out for me every night, and of late it has been regularly stolen. So he doc. tored the lunch tonight with ipecac, and about an hour ago three on 'em begun tC disgorge From the time they have been unloading, I should say 8 liberal lunch was prepared for me.

A smart Canadian has invented new method of fishing. He takes flock. of about thirty geese to the water, and to the legs of each one he ties fishing line with baited hooks attached. Then he says s'Shoo,'' and the geese swim out. As soon as a goose gets bite she becomes frightened and r,lshes back to the shore, and the man gleefully takes the fish of the hook and sends her back.
