BABIES IN LITTERS.
Six Children at a Birth, and Triplets
Twice.
In Newberyport we have a ucbool
house that a school committee have
been forced to advertise as cl(>sed to
* visitors, bccauseofcuriouscrowds within
ana without to see the mysterious form
oi a ghost boy who has been trotting
around there for more than n year,
seen frequently by the tcaehej - —who is
not a spiritualist—aiu^by most of the
fifty pupils, who arft'tqo young (pri
mary scholars) to mystiy^and deceive
the people.
The school house is on Charles street,
a one-story building, that would be the
last place in town for a spirit from any
happy abode to wish to renew his child
hood in. There is an entry to the
building, where is a flight of stairs to
the attic, and a window looking into
the school room. The teacher’s desk
brought her back to that window, where
the pupils told her a strange boy was
playing his tricks, sometimes putting
his head up to the glass and other
times looking in. They described him,
and when seen lie has always been the
same in'dress and appearance. To
verify their statements she changed
her seat to face the window ; and bv
the face appeared—the .Tack Frost 0US
upon the window pane. Hot doubting
but it was really a boy, she took iier
“ ruler”—the emblem of her authori

she found him standing in the corner

to be “ more strange than fiction.”
Jennie Amelia, when ninteen years
of age, was married to James Bushnell,
of Orleans county, New York, then
residing in Chicago. The parties were
married in August, 1864. On the 2d
of July, 1865, Mrs. Bushnell gave
birth to three children, two boys and a
girl. These children, lived, one four,
one six, and one eleven months. On

A TALKING MACHINE.
An ingenious piece of mechanism is
thus described by the Baltimore Sun:
The machine is necessarily intricate
in strvfcture to produce the sounds of
the human voice, but the patient in
ventor has been measurably success
fully. A bellows, worked by a treaddle,
answers for lungs, rubber pipes for the
glottis, while a tongue and lower jaw,
all worked in unison by delicate ma
chinery, put in motion from the opera
tor’s hands, produce the sounds of the
human voice, in a high, low, or medi
um key, as desired. .
“ Mrs. Faber, the wife of the in-
venor, sat down to the machine as to
an Estey organ, and played upon it.
The instrument was first carried
through the scale of primary sounds,
articulating the vowels from the recess
of its glottis. It was made to laugh,
ha, ha, ha!’ ‘ho, ho, ho!” ‘he he, he,!”
etc., which it did like the demon in the
fMi-Jast | corpn.

Bushnell gave birth to six living chil
dren at one time; all of them living
some time. I saw four of them. The
names of the children struck me as
being somewhat peculiar. I give them
in the order of their birth : Noiberto
James, Alberto James, Alinca Lucy
and Laberto James. Mrs. Bushnell
was unable to walk for two months
prior to her confinement, and after the
birth of the second one was unconsci-
several hours; she was liorror-
strickpn on recovering her senses to
find herself the mother of six children
—three sons and as many girls. The
event was so extraordinary that it was
soon noised abroad, and brought a
great many visitors, who supplied the
children with clothing, and assisted
the parents in providing nurses—sev-
hundred
of one just passed his first decade ot
years. His hair was almost white, a
little tow-head ; his face was as pale as
death, and his eyes a sweet blue. His
face was older than liis years, and lie
had the appearance of wiscbm beyond
his age. She advanced to him, and
then he dodged to the attic stairs. She
followed—is now near enough to take
hold of him—reached for him ; but he
is not there. He seemed to sink
through the stairs, and where she
would grasp his person her hand
struck the floor. He was gone.
Now we have a veritable ghost, what
is to be done? The police thought
they could capture him. They arrest
ed a lad as the author of all this coin-
motion, the town through ; and lie had
his choice to confess or take his chance
for the reform .school. It was not only
jkflie old witchcraft, but the old test.
P"‘ Throw her into the river,” said they
* of olden times, “and find out whether
or not s’.c lie a witch. If sh<* is innor
oral, oW. niii tirown; llsncswnus, well
hang her.” The boy partially confes
sed ; but he was not punished, because
his teacher aud all the pujnls and his
parents knew that he was not the
strange hoy that looked in at the win
dow ; and the face continued to re
appear when Uc was away.
Next a carpenter was sent to nail up
the ]>assagc to theatric ; but “ if love
laughs at locks,” much more do ghosts.
The little tow-head even made more
noise than before. He turned the attic
into a carpenter's shop, were he, too,
sawed and pounded and nailed; and,
as if to demonstrate the futility of
human force to shut him out, lie put
his head down through the ventilator
and took a survey of the school. Some
of the children have been frightened,
and one day one of them fainted ; hut
few of them are excited about it. The
teacher has spoken to him, and he only
laughed from his happy facet The
children looked at him, whom not oue
of them ever saw before, and lie re
turns their glances with love in his
soft wild eyes; but, as yet, he has not
told us who he is, whence lie came, or
what his mission. This comes nearest
to a real gbost—a daylight ghost—of
anything we have had iu this city tor
years.
Without a Newspaper.—Noth
ing presents a sadder commentary
upon the present society than the large
number of families, both in town and
in the country, but more especially in
the latter, that subscribe to no paper
ot any kind. Hundreds and thous
ands of families am thus growing up
utterly ignorant of what is transpiring
in the world around them—ignorant
of the mighty events of the day. But
who can tell the vast amount of injury
that is being inflicted upon the rising
generation—those who are to take our
place in the busy world at no distant
day—growing up without any knowl
edge of the present, or any study of
the past; this ignorance, too, being
... bued into them by the sanction of
those who should, and doubtless do,
know I letter, did they only think of the
injurious effects of their insane course.
Let the head of every family think of
this, and place in the hands of those
for whom he is responsible, the means
of acquiring some knowledge of the
moviug panorama in which we act our
different parts.

they were weaned—six wet nur
ses being required. Laberto James
died when nineteen months old, and
Lucy Alinca lived until twenty-three
months of age. The four other chil
dren were five years old when I saw
them; were ail bright and healthy,
none of them ever having been sick.
Their united weight at birth was forty-
five pounds. The mother was of Frencli
parents, and was born in Loudon,
England. On the 8th day of Novem
ber, 1865), Mrs. Bushnell gave birth
to three boys, all of whom died within
an hour or two—Mrs. Bushnell having
•given birth to twelve living children at
three births, in less than six years.

The great storm which swept over
Minnesota and parte of Iowa and Wis
consin last week, on Tuesday and parts
of Thursday, has furnished an almost
unexampled record of human woes
from such a cause. A St. Paul cor
respondent of the World, speaking of
the storm, says :
To say that the snow fell is not cor
rect—it poured down. To sav that it
poured down is not correct—it blew,
or rather drove along in blinding mass
es of solid pellets. The fences could
not lie seen even when one was in the
road. The face, unless well protected,
was cut in the attempt to face this ter
rible storm. It was not a snow-storm,
it was a snow hurricane, by whose
eddying whirls men, teams, and trains
were brought to a standstill, many men
and many horses, alas, to move no
more. This hurrican moved at the
rate of aliout a mile a minute.
The storm lasted there fifty-three
hours—an uninterrupted snow in a
hurricane. Cattle sheds, barns and
sometimes houses were buried under
the immense drifts. In one case, forty
bead of cattle under a shed were found
dead when the storm was over. All
the railways were blocked and trains
frequently covered up by the snow.
Teams aud carriages caught on the
road were stopped by the drifts, speed
ily covered over and cattle, horses,
I drivers and travellers frozen to death.
The tales of death in this way as nu
merous as they are harrowing. The
correspondent says that more lives were
lost than hv the great Sioux massacre
in which 738 persons were murdered.
W/> should judge from the accounts,
indeed, that nearly every person caught
on the roads, other than railroads,
perished. Some died within a very
short distance of their homes, which
they could not find in the blinding
»nd pitiless storm. One man came to
t’ie very spot where he judged his
lame was, but it was engulfed in snow
—te could not find it, and he perished
in :he search, while his wife, left help-
lest on the sleighs was also frozen to
deivh. The violence of the wind is
said o have impacted the falling sniw
so densely that it could not be shovelled
or mov><l eflectivly by the snow plows
on the hilroads. The Governor of
Minnessua has appealed to the Legis
lature oftiat State for an appropria
tion in aid if the numerous sufferers by
this terrible storm.
The Swiss Times says that at the
menagerie of Signori Bidel and Fair-
nnli, at Turin* on Monday evening,
December 24, the audience were treat-
pd tfh <1 pAvI<M»man»iA nnt •nitAtinofri in
the bills. Signori Bidel, the famous
lion tamer, entered, as usual, a large
cage in which were lions, lionesses,
liears, hyenas, and a lamb. After the
feats of leaping, etc., ordinarily shown
in such exhibitions, the grand feature
consisted in the simultaneous approach
of the wild animals to the lamb, and
the exchange of the “ kiss of fraterni
ty.” This was accomplished success
fully, the animals methodically touch
ing noses, then stalking back to their
places.
The perfomance was to close with
putting the lamb’s head in the mouth
of tiic lion. No sooner had the jaws
closed upon the head of the animal
than it was evident by the eyes and
movement of the tail of the lion that
foul play was threatened, and licfore a
word of command could be given,
streams of blood were running from
liis mouth. Children screamed and
women fainted, but fortunately the
panic was of short duration. Signor
Bidel, with a tremendous blow on the
throat of the lion and a shout of com
mand, forced the half wild animal to
relinquish his victim, and, although
roaring fearfully, lie suddenly obeyed
the fixed eye and gesture of his mas
ter, retiring into a corner of the cage
But, to the renewed horror of the peo
ple, in dealing with the lion he had
turned 0s back on the lioness, who,
with a howl of rage, leaped upon liis
back.
Fortunately for Bidel, her claws and
teeth entered his clothing only, and
with a spring and cry he leapt from
under her, at the same time striking
right and left with his loaded whip,
forcing the animal to the front of the
cage. There was an instant of hesita
tion and submission on the part of the
latter, during which Bidel, revolver in
hand, unfasted the cage and backed
himself out of it. Seeing him safe the
reaction of the audience was tremen
dous, and the cheers that greeted his
appearance weredeafening. Although
perfectly quiet, the deadly pallor of
liis face gave evidence of the danger
lie had passed.

Fertilized it with the DICKSON COMPOUND, and made on said 23 acre# 25
Bales ot Cotton. We are also authorized to aivc their plan, mid who wish can try
it: They open one furrow putting about 100 pounds to the acre, and running
around said furrow and cover it up. Putting about 100 pounds more on each side
of the first and covering it all up. This makes 300 pounds to the acre. When
you plant the seed, run a fnrrow on the middle row of the three distributes. The
tap roots ran through the middle row, the smaller roots runs out into each of tho
other two distributes, and hence one bale to the acre is made. In our judgment,
it is the best plan in use.

cavations are teing made on the sup
posed site of tip Temple of Diana, at
Ephesus, and fime peculiar fragmeuts
have been takdi out. The largest and
most important is a carved column
found twentyyirce feet under ground ;
it measures sin feet in length, and is
eighteen and a'lalf in circumference,
anti is supposed to form a portion of
me of the hundred and twenty-seven
■arved columns which supported and
tdorned the structure. On this piece,
aken out, there are five figures of
•eauty, one being the figure of Mercu-
Shooking Realization op a
Dream.—A strange story comes from
China. A native schoolboy at Shan-
hai told his schoolmaster that he had
dreamed his stepmother murdered him
and placftd his remains in a jar under
the floor of the house. The schoolmas
ter reassured his pupil at the moment,
but subsequently missing him for a
few days from school, remembered his
dream, and rushed to the house of his
stepmother to inquire for the boy.
Receiving au unsatisfactory answer,
and full of suspicion of foul play, the
man tore up the floor of the room and
found the corpse of his pupil cut up
and stowed away in a jar precisely as
the poor lniy had described. The case
has been authenticated before the Chi
nese courts, and the murderess was
executed, after being carried to the six
gates ot the city to receive the execra
tions of the people.

Will you take this woman to be
your wife ?” “ Well, Squire,” was the
reply, “ you must lxj a green uu to ax
me such a question as that. Do you
suppose I’d be such a plag _y fool as
to go to the bar hunt and take this gal
to the quilting frolic, if I warn’t con-
scriptuously sartin and determined to
have her ? Drive on with your busi
ness.”
At Leamington, England, recently,
the death of an infant was found to
have been caused by the presence in
the stomach of a compact and hard
ball of cheesy matter nearly the size of
a man’s fist Two medical men gave
it as their opinion that the ball had
been accumulating for some time, aud
was caused by the milk having become
changed to cheese in the stomach.
In the battle of the companies
of the Fifth Cavalry with the Apache
Indians on the 29th of December, near
Salt river, Utah, not a warrior escaped.
All of the band were killed aud twenty-
five women and children captured. A
New Mexico freight train for Camp
Bell was attacked by Apaches, and a
wagon-master killed at Pinos Altos.
The Indians also killed some of the
white men, and were afterwards seen
I ou the reservation wearing the clothes
of the murdered meu.
