Crickley you can laugh now,but I’ll bet you fifty dollars that I can bring down old roan at the very next shot” The wager was readily accepted. The stake were placed in Sam’s hands. Elated with the idea of winning back his two tens and making an X in the bargain, Drake carefully selected * perfect hall, and with a buck-skin patch, carc- (fully loaded his rifle. It was now nearly night, hut the hunter was in the habit of boasting that be could shoot a bat on the wing by starlight, and without hesi tation he drew a liedc on old roan’s head A moment later, and Drake was driving through tile grove, the most enraged and des perate of men. Uis rifle, innocent victim of his ire, lay with broken stock in the bottom of the wagon. Sam Barton was too frightened to» laugh. In the meantime, the gratified Colonel was rolling on the ground convulsed with mirth, and old roan standing under the trees. When old Drake reached home, his two sons, discovering his ill humor, hasted to arouse his spirits with the news which they were sure would make him dance with joy. “Clear out!” growled the angry old man; “I don’t want to hear any news; get away, or Fll knock yon down!" “But, father, it is such a trick played on old Crickley.’* “Old Crickley T” asked the old man, getting interested. “Glad if you have played the Colo nel a trick: let’s have it” “Well, lather, Jc<l and I, this evening went out for deer—” Hang the deer, let’s heir about your trick.” “Could’t find the deer, but I tho’t we mast Translated for “Porter's Spirit of the Times.” | not hut express mv surprise at the suddenneas Tire Lawyer’s Dream. of the apparition, for by no mesas I could ini- HEMINISCEXCE OP THE MASSACRE OP agine it was in Caglidstro’s power to divine the ST.

The sito is a very l>cautifnl one commanding a very handsome view of the city. Tlie location of the Male college is not so cer tainly fixed, hut we suppose it will occupy tho site once purchased for the Baptist Female Col lege. Our own opinion is it is a handsomer place than the other, hut we arc satisfied any wav. The colleges will most certainly he built, and that is glory enough for one year. These institutions being completed, Americas becomes one of the most attractive spots in the State. Farmers desiring to locate in a sober, moral, nice little city, to educate their daugh ters and sons, are notified that Americas is the place. Wo intend to have schools of the very' first order of their kind. No humbug and Tom foolery, hut thorough practical teacliing.

The London correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser writes that a new dis covery is about to lie introduced, which, if it realizes the averments of the patentees, revolu tionizc all our existing methods of illumination. It was first publicly exhibited during the visit of the Queen to Cherbourg, while her Majesty was passing at night llroin her own ship to that of the Emperor. The raw material may be a cheap gas, made from the most common materi als, and the increase <f brilliancy is obtained by passing it tnrough a new medium, which is said to have all the advantages of lime without itsde- structibillity. The calculations put forth are, that a light equal to that of800 street lamps, and lasting twelve hours, can he obtained at r cost equal to 871 cents, or 3s Gd. sterling while “for domestic purposes,” one jet equaling in effect 18 pounds of candles, and costing only 4d. (eight cents) for twelve hours, will give a light fully double tliat of any ordinary gas burner. It is assert'd also, that the requisite apparatas is cheap, jierfectly portable, and cap- hle of being managed even by a child; tliatthe light Is free from smell, very white, extremely pure, and characterized by the property of hum- ing stwulily, and without diminution.
