They are also provided vth an inlet protector, to pre vent gravel, tra-h or chips from being ad mitted at tire inlet hole, and lodged under the check valve, preventing its closing, and thereby interfering with the pump working.

In the village of lived a man who had once been a judge of the county, and was well known all over it by the name of Judge R. He kept a store and saw mill, and was always sure to haVe the best of the bargain on his side, by which means he bad gained an ample fortune; and some did not hesitate to call him the big gest rascal in the world. He was very conceited withal, and used to brag of his business capacity, When ever any one was near to listen. One rainy day, as several were sit ting around the stove, he began, as usual, to tell of his great bargains, and wound up with the expression: “Nobody has ever cheated me, nor they cau’t, neither.” “Judge,” said an old man of the company, “I’ve cheated you more than you ever did me.” “How so?” asked the Judge. “If you’ll promise yon ®o’t go to law aboutJt, nor do anything, I’ll tell you, or else I won’t: you’re too much of a law character for me.” ‘‘Let’s hear,” cried half a dozen voices at once. “I’ll promise,” said the Judge, “ and treat into the bargain if you have.” “ Well, do you remember the wag on jiou robbed me of? ” “ I never robbed yon of a wagon ; I only got the best of the bargain,” said the Judge. “Well, I made up my mind to have it back, and—” “You never did*” interrupted the cute Judge. “Yes, I did, and interest too.” “How so?” thundered the now enraged Judge, “ Well, you see, Judge, I sold you one day a nice pine log, and bargained with you for a lot more. Well, that log I stole off your pile down by the mill the night before, and next day I sold it to you; and so I kept on until you had bought your own log of me twenty-seven times!” “That’s a lie! ” exclaimed the in furiated Judge, running to his book, and examining his log account. “You never sold mp twenty-seven logs of the same measurement.” “I know it,said the vender of logs. “By drawing it back and forth the end wore off; and as it woro, I kept cutting the end off until it was only ten feet long—just fourteen feet shorter than it was the first time I brought it—and when it got so short, I drew it home and worked it up into shingles, and the next week you bought the shingles, and I concluded I had got the worth of my wagon back, and stored away in my pocket boolt.” Tlic exclamation of the Judge was drowned in the shout of the bystand ers, and the log-drawer found the door without the promised treat. f-W Beecher has returned to his church, and was received with open arms by his members, just as if he wasn’t an adulterer. It is consoliifg to know that Plymouth church is not a representative of the Christian re ligion, but simply ot a religion of form, show and sentiment. How Cheap! —Remember that twenty copies of the Visttoe will be sent one year to the same post-office for only twenty dollars. I3sT* “ I say, Ham, whaps dat mil ingtary company do wite fokes wos gwine to had? ” “Dunno, Pete; I specks, doe, its dun gone wbar dose injypendum kan’dates is gwine! ” \ ofav. request v that he cmti He expressed crystals, as they w v . chewed, but, as there w4re none venient, he would take the common window-pane glass. I went out and secured a pieco, about one-third of a broken pane, and brought in several friends to witness the sight. He took the glass and, .deliberately bit' out a piece about the size of a silver half a dollar, and chewed it up with as "much gusto as if it had beeu a piece of bread, swallowed it fc takiofe. afterwards a swallow of water and 1 ” bread, he said, to get the particles out of his teeth. He would have eaten the whole piece if I had re quested, as he has frequently eaten tumblers for a drink of whisky. Hd said he would eat any kirii of glass except the colored bottle glass, which had poison in it. He was first in duced to try the experiment ttboltt three years ago, at the Cape of Good Hope, by a surgeon in the British Navy, who bet he could eat all the glasses (eighteen iii number) at a din ner party, which he did, and he saw no reason why he could not do as much, so he tried it by eating only three. Since that time he has eaten glass for the amusement of others over a thousand times, with no disa greeable effect. The only difference he sees is, it gives him an appetite”’ . A Thrilling Spkkch, —The follow ing is a literal report of a Rpet-ch delivered in Bowling Green, Ky., by the candidate for the office of jailor: “Fellow Citizens: Where are triy opponents? Why, gentlemens they are nowhere. I feel myself as much above my opponents, as a jioeSHrt? in ! a persiraon tree does above the ground he crawls on. I ‘call on you in the name of the shaggy heated lion which whipped the American Eagle:, I call on you in the'name of the pea-| cock of liberty, which flowed over the mountain to come to my rescue. | Come on Monday next and promote Dick to the office to which he per spires. When you shall have beenj dead, and the green briers shall have entwined themselves around your graves, then will your sons come to me and say, • Dick, some years ago our fathers voted for you for the office of jailorship of Warren county.’ Then will I say, ‘roll on, thou silver moon, I will bo with thee till the lkst day in the evening.’ ” "W ii at was Found in a Boi’s Pocket. —A mother whoso boy was sick abed took out his pants to dust. They being heavy, she felt in his pocket to see what was in it. Judge of her astonishment when she took out the following articles < Some marbles, a fcroken bladed knife, a small piece of wire, a piece of a broken castor, a snarl of twine, a bit of colored glass, some shot, some speckled beans, a lot of buttons for a charm string, some pictures cut from somo curious hand-bill, a fish hook, throe bullets, a little paper of powder, a wad of a handkerchief the color of night, a half eaten apple, a small piece of molasses candy, a lot Of wbittt ougar and cake crumlm, some matches, a piece of gum, a false mus tache cut out of a buffalo robe, a stub piece of chalk, a lump of putty, a door knob, a watch key, and four nails, Post ofkiuk Rules. —Never buy any stamps. Hand your letters to the postmaster. If yon are out of change, tell him you will hand It to him tbo next time you are in. It won’t bo necessary, however, to (to so, as three cents are nothing. When you hand in your letter, do not forget to tell the postmaster to be sure and have It go. If you do not give this warning, he may keep it in the office. Always remember to call the post master and hand, your letters to him, and not put them in the, letter box. If you do, the pcstmsstor will not have so much to do, and you will thereby encourage laziness. Remem ber that the postmaster would con sider it very unkind to have your let ters stamped by any one hut himself. He will be pleased also to put wrap pers on papers and back them for yon occasionally, or oftener. Espe daily when he is busy distributing mail. ■ £3?” Beware of a man with half shut eyes.
