New Spelling, but an Old Way

New Spelling, but an Old Way.
It is a striking illustration of the
fact that new light is often found to
be only old darkness, that one can
see in the library of the British Mu-
scum, under the date of 1856, more
than 800 years ago, a volume, the
title of which is:
"Esopz FABLE, in tru TYPOGRAPHY,
with grammar notz. Heruntoo ar
also jooined the sentencez ov the
WY Cato, both of which autorz are
TRANSLATED out of Latin intoo En-
glish.''
The author of this sentence spelled
button butn. But this is not quite
equal to the direction of a letter re-
ceived by a gentleman who was ad-
dressed from abroad, as in the "You-
knightid Stats OF Aymerrika. ;"

At DEBORAH the other night young man
named Self was taken from his room in the

was then taken to the woods, some distance

leased and told to go home and say nothing.
The young man denies being guilty of any
misdemeanor and the whole circumstance is
very mysterious. The authorities are search

Seventeen armed men went to q school

and his wife had separated some time ago,
but were not divorced. The husband inter-
cepted letter from the teacher to his wife,
which led to the white Gaping" The
teacher bears good reputation and
has the support of the best class of the COM
munity, and has determined to arm himself
and teach out the balance of his term. The
grand jury will investigate the case.

An Eccentric Spendthrift.
From the St. James Gazette.

From the St. James Gazette.
At Fulbeck, near Grantham, has
just passed away one of the most &C.
centric characters that ever lived in
that district-William Richmond.
He went out to Australia some
twenty-five years ago, and returned
home five years ago with large for
tune. This he put in the bank, and
ran on the principal very freely.
Among the eccentric acts of the last
year of his life, which almost bord-
cred on insanity, were the purchasing
of valuable articles and destroying
them. A gold watch was smashed
up Immediately, the back of a silver
watch was wrenched off so as to be
more convenient for winding up, the
straw was taken out of a mattress
for pig bedding, springs taken out of
new chair, shelves out of the house
for frewood, clocks broken up and
thrown away, bread daily burned on
the fire: legs of mutton and sides of
bacon were buried in the garden, val
liable trees we're bought and chopped
up. He built greenhouse and
knocked it to pieces. A little pig had
refused to be driven upstairs, where
bed had been prepared for it with
great care, and it's career ended by a
blow on the head by a hammer. He
died poor man-in fact a pauper-
and he was buried by the parish.

Loaves and rishea

A Boston paper says: Something
like the miracle of the loaves and
fishes was recently performed in Oak,
land, Me. The managers of a church
supper prepared for seventy-fve
guests, but had an unexpected crowd
and made their supplies spread to the
entertainment of 125 people" This
is nothing for a church supper. The
number of church oyster stews that
can be prepared from couple of oys-
ters is more amazing miracle than
that of the loaves and the fishes
