Some years ago in a Maine village

a sort of head quarters for the good
fellows of the neighborhood. About
two miles up the river lived and old

Ho win a character with a well, de

chronic indisposition to pay his bills.
The yomyg lawyer was popular, and
the storck cirors of the village ‘sent
him tlnrbills - which they could not

for collection.—Toe old nun would
never pay until he was sued, and
then he would make vociferous Com

Ho accused the young lawyer of j
griuding one fare of the poor, and J
railed vigorously against being 1 com
pelled to pay. His visits were spec
ial occasion of delight to lUe wags
who frequented his office, as a lively
dicussion always eusued over payment
of bill and costs. One day Webber

and animated debate, paid it. Then
Webber suggested to him the pro

the letter had been sent, and thus
saving the expense of a writ. The

It is a well known fact in this com
munity that Robert Burk, a young
man about 20 years of age, and son
fof lb T. Burk who lives about seven
miles north-cast of this place, had
been very strangely affected from
some unknown cause for nearly two
years licforc Thursday of last week.
During these two years he ivai side
ject to something like fits which of
ten amounted to madness and utter
insanity.
Jlis fath', an honorable and
truthful man, makes the following
statement :
“On last Thursday morning my
son wfts in bed quite unwell/ He
said that he could feel something
crawling on the inside of his stom
ach, and was confident that it was
either a snake ora lizzard. Soon sif
ter it was first felt iu tho stcmach
mv son says that he became verv sick
and while lie was attempting to vom
it, something which he took to be a
lizzard came into his throat and he
succeeded in seizing it by the fail but
failed t \f extract it. About three
o clock in tlie afternoon he again
experienced similar feelings, and
while he seemed to be ciiouking to
death he put his hand far into his
mouth and pulled out a full grown
chameleon or lizzard. lie was so
shocked by this process that it was
with great difficulty that he recover
ed. This took place before my own
eyes auil in tho presence of my wife
and three children. Since that time
he has experienced immediate relief
for the first time in nearly two years.
I ant at a perfect loss to account for
this strange occurrence, and should
not have, believed it bad I not been
present in }>erson. As very small
and young chameleons were fre
quently seen on a vine which grows*
over the water bucket it might have
been that he swallowed oue when it
was quite small. It was evidently
in the stomach during this long in
terval as lie became very sick when it
was first lelt in the stomach. While

A census taker, going ids rounds
stopped at an elegant brick dwel
ling house, the exact locality of
which is no business of ours, lie
was received by a stiff well dres.-ed
lady, who could well he recognized
as a w idow of some years standing.
On learning the mission of her visi
tor the lady invited him ta take a
scat in the hall. Having arranged
himself into a working position he
inquired for the number of jtersons
in the family of the lady.
Eight, replied the lady, including
myself.
Very well—you rage, madam ?
My age, sir, replied the lady, with
a piercing, dignified look, I conceive
it to lie none of your business what
my age might be. You're quite in'
quasi live, sir.
Tiic law compels me, madam, to
take the age of every person iu the
ward ; it is my duty to make the
inquiry.
Well, if the law compels you to
ask, I presume it compels me to an
swer. I am between thirty and
near forty.
1 presume that means 35 ?
No, sir ; it means no such thing—
I am only thirty-t|iroe years of age.
Very well, madam (Jutting down
the figures), just as you say. Now
the ages of the children, com
menceing with the youngest, if you
please ?
Josephine, my youngest, is in her
tenth year.
Josephine—pretty name—lo.
Minerva is in her twelfth year.
Minerva—captivity—l 2.

My oldest and only married
daughter, Anna Sophia, Is a little
over twenty-five.
Twenty-five did you say ?
Yes, sir. Is there anything re
markable in being of tliat age ?
Well, no, 1 can’t say there is ;
but is it not remarkable that you
should be her mother when you
were only eight years of age ?
Af>out that time the cencus-takcr
