PRICE. 5 CENTS —The “relic” fever has caused con -idera ble damage to portions of Ford’s theatre in Washington, where Booth killed Mr.Lincoln. That portion of the stage carpet upon whi.h Booth leaped from the President's box has been cut away for a diameter of four feet. The latest “manifestation” of the relic fever is that of a visitor who went into the saloon attached to the theatre, and a-ked the bar tender : “Have you the same bottle on hand out of which Booth drank on the night of the assassinatiog ?" “Yes, sir.” “And the same braudy 41. it ?” “Yes, sir.” Can I have a drink or the snme brandy out of the same bottle?" “Ye 9, sir." “Let’s have it.’* The victor tastes the brandy, makes s wiy face, and continues :—“And that a the same brandy that Booth drank?” “Ye9,-sir.’’— “Well I don’t wonder that he killed the President. A drink of that brandy would make a man kill his grandmother.” r —A German thus describedfian accident: “Vonce, a long vile ago, I went iutos mine abble orchard to climb a bear tree to get some peaches to make mine vrow a plum pudding mit; and ven I gets to de t«ber most branch, I vail irom the lowermost limb, mit von leg on both sides of the fence, and Mkh to stove mine outside in.” Equally lucid was Aiynheer Yan Dunk’s account of his ascent of the Alleghenies. Said he: “I vas going up der mountain mit myself, ven my foot sblipped himself on der ice, and I coomed down der mountain, on der proad of mine pack, mit mine face stickla in der mut, and dare I stbood all der times.” —On Tuesday of last week a large black bear, belonging to the Agricultural Museum of the State Normal Schools at Ypsilauti, Mich., broke loose, and in the attempt tore capture him one ot the students was attack ed and horrible mangled before assistance could reach him. The bear could easily have been killed, but it was desired to keep him as a specimen in the Zoological Depart ment of the State Museum. Ue showed great ferocity to the whole human family, and for a long time refused to go to his quar ters, but finally followed a tame “grizzly” into an icehouse. Asa precedent for the rapidity with which execuiion followed sentence, in the Conspi racy Tiiaf, the case of Bellingham, the mur derer ot Mr. Percival, is cited. He commit ted the crime late in the afternoon, Monday, May 11th, 1812. His trial was on at the Old Bailey on Friday, the 15lh ; be was at once found guilty, and was executed at 8 o'clock on the morning of Monday the 18th—a full week from the date of the fatal deed not having expired. —A friend of ours, dtoo Is a clerk In a mer cantile establishment, relates a colloquy from which a sprightly youth in the same store came out second best. A poor boy came along with bis machine, inquiring, “Any _ kuives or scissors to grind?" “Don't think we have,” replied theyouDggentleman, face tiously, “but can’t you sharpen wits ?" “Yes, if you’ve got any,” was the prompt re tort, leaving the interrogator rather at a lost to produce the article. —While some of the oil enthusiasts were prospecting in Venango county, they discov ered the foundation of a house which must have been built there some years ago by the French. Over the walls stood tbs stump of a chesnut tree, two feet in diameter. Near the bouse was a kettle cut out of a solid rock, which evidently had been used for smelting metals, either lead or silver, which is supposed to abound iu that neighborhood. —Another plesiosrurus has been discover ed in Dorsetshire, England. This fossil, though not so perfect as ihe magnificent one acquired by the British Museum last year, is yet a remarkably fine specimen, aud, being m stone, is in good preservation. Portions of the skeleton have been submitted to Prof. Owen, who has pronounced them to belong to an undescribed and unnamed species. —President Lincoln gave bis opinion of tbs •Fremont party last fal, by turning to Ist Samuel, 22:2, and reading : “And every ona that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him : and be be came a captain over them; ana there was with him about four hundred men.” In Chicago they have a kil lug machine. An enormous iron hand, with five terrible claws, books out the unsuspecting pig 9 from tbeir pens, hoists them to a gibbet near by, where they are slain without benefit of cler gy, and then plunged by the same means in to scalding water. This porcine guillotine “finishes” fifty pigs an hour. —The old story of E-au and his birthright has been repeated in Virginia. A rebel offi cer sold the original secession ora law nee of that State to Sergeant A. S. Twitchell, 7th Maine Battery, for a lunch of bread and butter. —A Presbyterian church in Edinburgh is shaped like a fan; at one end it is forty feet in width; at the other, one hundred and sixteen feet wide. The aisles radiate (mm the pulpit, which is at the narrow end, ilka the spokes of a wheel. The seats are arranged in three tiers, one tier being nine ieet above the other. —The Empress Euenie, during her short regency, in the absence of the Emperor at Algears, awarded the rank of Cbevuller of the Legion of Honor to Mile. Rosa Booheur, the admirable painter of animals ana land scapes. “X think you must allow,” said a .pom yous gentleman, “that my jests are very* fair.” “Sir, your jests are like yourself” was the quick retort, “their age makes then* respectable.” —The latest Chicago notion, according to the Tribune, is “an Anti-stink Association,” the members of which pledge themselves to combine against, prosecute and extinguish the insalubrious wretches who produce the innumerable lively stinks now prevalent in that city. —There are two hundred and eighty cot tages at Newport. Those not owned by the occupants rent for from one to five thousand dollars a year. The handsomest one is toe property of August Belmont, the banker, and cost fifty thousand dollars.
