Some years ago in a Maine village a voting lawyer hung out his *sli For convenience we may call his name Webber, lie was of :i social turn, and bis ollicc speedily became a sort of head quarters for the good fellows of the neighborhood. About two miles up the river lived and old firmer who was commonly knuwn as “Old Alfred.” on ,‘Uncle Alfred.’’ Ho win a character with a well, de veloped taste for ardent spirits and a 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 collect.—Thus it happened that ma ny little accounts against. Old Al fred came into young Webber’s hand for collection.—Toe old nun would never pay until he was sued, and then he would make vociferous Com plaints. 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 ' had three bills against the old plan, | one of-which he had sued, about one j he had written a letter and the‘third hud'just come in. Uncle Alfred come to see about lire olio which had Seen sneer' and, after a JfroTonged and animated debate, paid it. Then Webber suggested to him the pro priety of paying the one about which the letter had been sent, and thus saving the expense of a writ. The old man detiHiived for a while, bnt finally settled that, and, then remark ingin a conclusive tone, 1 hope I've get through with von now, ' prepared , Well, no, said Webber, I've got a. no tilery hi tie bill he.*c which p rhapiyou'd like to look at before y-.u g.. MfaH'ms was too much for the old man an if he broke into a torrent of objur gations. After he had become a lit tle calm. Webber remarked in his j blandest tone : Uncle Alfred, I will I make you a proposition. If you will for the next two hours go around the street here, mingle in the groups of the people on the streets and in the stores, and lead the conversation to such a point that you can remark to them that young Webber is a very clever man, I will discount to you, $1,500n this note. Old Alfred al most lost his breath at this modest proposal. He wanted his $1.50 bad ly, but when lie realized what he was expected to do for it his heart sank. llj said, impressively : t B'iuire Web ber.

Times, 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.

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.

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 was seen runuingont of the house— w hy, we do uot kuow— it was the last time he ever pressed a lady to give her exact age.
