I Wt like a lady that morning. I was
a lady, 1 thought, after all; quite as
much so as Mrs. Jones, who lived iu the
great cupola-house on the hill. Quite as
much of a lady, I said to myself, briskly,
as l dusted up mv little shop, and ar
r-mged the sheeny ribbons and gay
striped g.vods in the window. The
window was hung with pretty lace cur
tains, and there was a globe of gold-fish
in it that sailed about as courteously and
busily as though they were getting their
as head clerks.
It was a sweet, soft autumn morning ;
the village street was grassy and quiet,
?, nd 1 hummed a tune as I glanced cheer
lly out at little Toddles, flitting about in
her scarlet ribbons under the old willow
outside. Bless her little rosy face! why

old snatch of a tune, and nodded gaylv

The History ' of Buford, tho Assas
• T ,
j Details 8m of the 01 Jud8re as-mssina/tion of Judge
Elliot by Thomas Buford at Frankfort,
Kentucky, last week, confirm the
theorythat he had been.meditating upon
the killing of not only Judge Elliot, but
also his associates on the bench. His
ungovernable passion had previously led
liim into several aflfrays, ill one of which
he attempted to kill bis own brother but
he was never punished. The father of
the Buford's left an estate valued at
3200.000, and between Thomas and
Henry there arose a dispute as to the
division of their shares. Henry wa ted
to sell his interest to It. A. Alexander,
the famous stock raiser, and Thomas
sent Alexander word that if he bought
it he would kill him. Boon afterwards
the brothers met in the town of
saiiles, and Thomas fired three inef
fectual shots at Henry before the
bystanders disarmed him. Thomas
Buford also picked a quarrel, at a
pistols at each other, and General
Buford, another of the brothers, rushed
m cut George to the ground
with his bowie knife. About tho out
break of the war the sister, Mary Bu
ford, bought a farm in Henry county,
and paid toi it, pail in cash, und gave
several notes for tho residue. Two °f

to place the credit. Mr. Findley calcu¬
lated up the note, and found that Kit had
paid two thirds of the principal, and that
8000 was yet due, which debt bl« debtoraald
would be paid as fast as he could make the
money. Mr. F. then told the old darkey
that since lie sold him the land property
had depreciated in value, and as he knew

should be his, unincumbered. So, drawing

could have collected. Now, how many

Experiments on Rats.
Dr. John Durham, a skilled surgeon
and physician at Woodyille, has been
making some queer experiments with
the rats that infest his office. Some lie
