A CLEVER STRATEGY.
An Incident of the French md
English War In Canada.

Gen. Putnam, a brave officer In the
war between the French and English in
Canada, is the hero OF an interesting
little story, says the Hartford Courant
Gen. Amherst marched across the
country to Canada. Coming to one
OF the lakes over which he intended to
pass with his troops. he found n French
vessel armed with twelve guns upon the
lake. This greatly. distressed the Gen
eral, as his small boats were no match
for this vessel in the situation in which
II was placed. While he was thinking
what had best be done, Putnam adj

Amherst smiled and asked how.

and I'll take her." answered Putnam.
Gen. Amherst was puzzled as to how
this was to be accomplished, but he
granted Putnam's request. and gave him
the wedges, beetle and his choice of
men. When night came he rowed over
quietly to the vessels stern. with his

after awhile the vessel was blown
ashore and the enemy captured.
Havin lost control of the rudder by
Gen. Putnams act, the course of the
vessel could not be regulated.

discovered there was nobody within.
Neither meal nor penny was to be eX-
pected that day; the rain was growing
heavier, some OF the hay must be wet,
and Mrs. Simpson would return in bad
humor.
But two objects powerfully arrested
Geordy's attention: one was the broth
pot boiling on the fire, and the other
the silver spoons scattered on the table.
Bending over the former, Geordy took
a considerable sniff, gave the ingredients
stir with the pot stick, and muttered:
VERY thin"
His proceeding with regard to the lat
ter must remain unmentiohed; but half
an hour after, when he was safely en-
aconed In farm house n mile off, and
the family had been driven within doors
by the increasing storm, they found
everything as II had been left-the
broth on the fire. the cat on the window
seat the whiting and flannel on the table,
but not a spoon was there.
"Whars the spoons" cried Mrs. Simp-
son to the entire family, who stood by
the fire drying their wet garments. No
body could tell. Nancy had left them
on the table when she ran to the hay.
No one had been in the house, they were
certain, for nothing was disturbed
The drawer was pulled out and the
empty stocking exhibited. Every shelf.
every corner was searched. but to no
purpose; the spoons had disappeared,

imagined. The widow ran through II

She had been securing the spoons and
had left the house last; silver could not
leave the table without hands.
1t was true that Nancy had always
borne an unquestioned character, but
sucn spoons were not to be met with
every day. and Mrs Simpson was deter

could not help thinking his mother was

The Rabbi and the bridegroom stepped
beneath 1t. while the band went back
across the sandy street for the bride.
She crossed the road supported on either

guests.
The marriage ceremony was short, and
was concluded by the rabbi holding out
a glass of beer, from which the newly

glass was then dashed to the floor, and
the ceremony was at an end. Every
man in the room then kissed. not the
bride. but the bridegroom, while the
women kissed the bride. A sumptuous
