V* tvvt&v&t CvaV\\cv\\ws> Wg notice that the mountains have been covered with snow several days during the past week. 1 he average cost of converting sinners at Yv aterhury, Conn., according to the calcula tion of a pastor, is *BOO apiece. Tt is interesting to know that two men were arrested, tried and fined in Newport, Rhode Island, the other day for spitting to bacco juice on the Hour of the opera Louse. A man in Nevada found a fortune by tak ing a drink of water. We’ve taken a pint or more of the stufr in the past ten years ; had no fortune when we commenced and have not got it yet. When little Thomas stoops to toy with berries, jam and jelly-cake, no art can soothe the chastened hoy—no nostrum ease his stomach-ache. And if the griping pains defy the medicines prescribed to foil, his parents will do well to try the limpid, fiquid castor oil. , A boy asked his father the other dav what was a philosopher. “A philosopher, my son ? Why a philosopher is a man who reasons.” “Is that so,” said the boy, dejectedly, “ I thought it was a man that didn’t let things bother him.” The father silently patted his son's head. Three Judges have been removed from office in Massachusetts since the Revolution, one for physical disability, one for bribery and corruption, and one for violating State laws in a fugitive slave case. Ciiarges are now being considered against a fourth Judge, who is accuse.! of corruption and tyranny. / William Cole has drawn a color line for himself at Floyd, Va. lie is a criminal, and a negro constable holds a warrant for his arrest. Cole lias intrenched himself atop of a mountain, with a supply of food, and am munition, and declares that, though he will submit like a lamb to any white officer, he will die rather than surrender to a black one. It is reported that a wild plant, which grows so profusely on high lands in Louisiana that the planters have tried for years to ex terminate it as a pest, has been discovered to yield a woody fibre closely resembling jute, but of a much finer quality. It is claimed that the - process of preparation is very sim ple, and far less expensive than that of jute or ramie. The planters’ name for it is the American or creole tea plant. When it was discovered that the young women who were engaged in the Louisville Female High School, in the publication of a school paper, were making personal solicita tions among business men for advertisements and subscriptions, and were not only offering prizes of jewelry as an ind ucement for pat ronage, but were also bestowing kisses where kisses would win a customer, the authorities of the school put their veto upon the project. Probably the worst blunder ever made was one that occurred in the case of a St. Louis merchant, who, while in New York, received a telegram informing him that his wife was ill. lie sent a message to his family doctor, asking the nature of the sickness and if there was any danger, and received promptly the answer : “ No danger. Your wife had a child. If we can keep her from having another to night she will do well.” The mystification of the agitated husband was not removed until a second inquiry revealed the fact that his indisposed lady had had a “chill.” The island of Ischia, where the recent de structive earthquake occurred, is in the Med iterranean. eight miles southeast of Cape Miscno. The island, seven miles long and four broad, belongs to Italy, and contains a population of 24,000. Near its centre is Mount San Nicola, an extinct volcano, rising about 2,G00 feet, from which the surface grad ually slopes in all directions towards the sea. The soil is very fertile. The town of Casa maccia, where the greatest 1033 of life result ed, lias valuable mineral springs in the neighborhood, and is somewhat celebrated as a summer resort. German physiologists have been experi menting to ascertain the best mode of restor ing frozen animal life, and they announce that the hitherto accepted theorj' that persons who have been exposed too long to extreme cold should not be brought into contact with warmth except by slow degrees is wholly erroneous. Dogs were frozen by artificial applications of cold until breathing and pul sation had almost wholly ceased, and then attempts were made to restore twenty of them in a cold room, twenty in a warm room, and twenty in a bath of warm water. Of the first, fourteen died; of the second, eight; of the last, none. The warm hath brought about restoration in a remarkably short time. Vienna physicians have been examining with much interest a three-year-old pair of twins, who are not less of a natural curiosity than the Siamese twins were. From the breast bone down they have but one body ; above that they arc two wholly separate and complete organisms. They have only two legs and feet, but four arms. The sense of feeling in the two upper parts is entirely dis tinct and individual. At the moment of medical inspection, one of the heads looked peevish and occasionally cried on account of a painful tooth, while the other looked fresh and lively, and shouted “ Mamma !” The inner arms come in conflict, and cause fights between the twins. Though the pair have one body below the breast, they do not get hungry at the same time. The left foot seems to he connected only with the left head, and the right foot with the right head. One of the feet was pinched, and only the head on that side cried out. It is believed that the railroad tic of the future will be cut from the beautiful catalpa tree. The Fort Scott, Texas and Gulf Kail road have planted 300 acres of young trees, and the Iron Mountain Railroad 100 acres, near Charleston, Mo. On the track bed of the latter company ties of this wood have * lain in the muddy silt of the Mississippi for twelve years, and arc still in a good state of preservation. They have outlasted two sets of white oak ties, and hid fair to survive the third, hence posts in Indiana and Illinois are now sound after having been in service for forty, fifty, and even seventy-five years. In the muddy regions about Cairo, where it is grown extensively, it is used as “ corner stones” for the most substantial buildings. It is of an elastic nature, but not so soft and light as cottonwood. I)r. John A. Warder, President of the American Forestry Associa tion, claims for the catalpa a durability and power of resistance to the influences of the elements possessed by no other wood. It is found in the Mississippi valley and on the shores ol the tributaries of the great river. It It: ’ lllHjki * - flower --- -- ' .1. . _ programme Of the Jackson County Teachers’ Institute.

Wilson, Chairman Executive Committee. How Prohibition Prohibits. Mr. Robert Graham is the general secreta ry of the Church of England Temperance Society, a British organization of which the Queen is a special patron. It is the associa t'ton that has endeavored to substitute cotfee rooms for gin shops in England. The gen tleman is at present traveling in this country, investigating American inebriate asylums and prohibition laws. lie has made the tour of Canada, and is now in New York. 11 is impressions arc interesting. They ought to be espcciall}’ so to those temperance reform ers who, with more zeal than sense, are en deavoring to have still stiffer prohibition laws enacted. The prohibition laws seem tolerably well observed in Canada, but in New York he finds infinitely more low groggeries than in London. The enforcement of the liquor law in New York he pronounces “the merest trav esty on justice.’’ One thing that strikes me in America is the facility with which a prohibitory law is passed and the flagrancy with which it is violated. In riding on the Elevated cars on a Sunday evening, through the fanlights of the doors crowds of men could be seen drink ing and carousing in liquor saloons which were ostensibly closed up. Isi the same connection it may he in place to allude to the way in which the temperance Jaws are evaded in Vermont. Many years ago iron clad laws were passed in that State. The only alterations occuring since have been changes to make them still more iron-c’ab Jdtll QalTuinisjaluro passed respectively the j act.” The first classes cider that is thirty davs old, and beer, as intoxicating liquors. Whoever sells or gives them away, or even rents premises to a tenant who does so, is punfshed by fine and imprisonment. If a man commits any crime under the influence of liquor, by the rmnsellers* pension bill the person who sold him the beverage must pay one dollar a day to his wife or minor children during the entire term of his imprisonment in jail, work-house or penitentiary, as the ease may be. If be does not pay, he, too, is jerked into prison, and put at hard labor. With such doubled and twisted penalties it would seem next to impossible to sell li quor profitably in Vermont. But it is not at all. On the contrary it is very easy. The laws arc constantly evaded in a score of ways. Juries are packed, witness(*s bribed and run out of the country, and the bar and fixtures are sold to somebody else in the nick of time. Or, if worst comes to worst, the dealer pays his fine, and next day lie goes on selling in toxicating drinks as before. In Rutland, one of the largest retailers of rum, it is said, keeps a man hired at good wages to attend bar, stand imprisonment and work out the fine. The bar meantime is kept constantly' open, and does a flourishing business. Last year $2,000 were paid by its owner in fines and costs, but as it brought him in over $3,000, he thought on the whole he could stand the fines. Another rum seller kept for a considerable time an empty room. It differed from other empty rooms hi that it had a sliding drawer in the partition.' Gentlemen walked in and placed empty bottles and a sum of money in the drawer. The receptacle seems to have had magic properties, like the drawer in Ilumptv Dumpty, since presently when the gentleman opened it they found it contained full bottles and no money. Neither customer nor dealer saw one another. The correspond ent of the New York Sun, who tells" these stories, says that a hotel-keeper in Vergennes has for a regular boarder in his house a grand juror. When there is reason to anticipate a prosecution by the State’s Attorney, the friendly grand juror anticipates the thing by going before a justice of the peace, likewise friendly, and filing a complaint. Witnesses are subpoenaed, and the witnesses are friend ly, too. They never visited his bar. They testify that they have never seen him sell liquor. lie is, of course, acquitted, and what can the whole State of Vermont do about it ? There are more way's of killing a cat than choking it to death, says the old saw. But here is a bad man who beats all the rest : A remarkable case of persistet liquor selling and fine and sentences under this law has recently occurred in Orleans county. Albert J. Kittredge, of Newport, was con victed at the recent term of the Orleans Coun ty Court, and sentenced to hard labor in the State work-house for 94G days. The prisoner is about thirty-five years of age and a help less cripple. When only fifteen years of age, lie suffered from an attack of rheumatic fever, which caused ossification of nearly every joint in his body. For twenty years unable to walk, he has been a bed-ridden cripple. For several yeai’3 past he has been able to be placed in a wagon and ride about the country with a boy-driver, and is thought to have smuggled and peddled out liquor enough to nil a small lake. Latterly his health has been poor, and lie has lain upon a cot constructed for him, containing drawers underneath to hold bottles, and he sold liquor while unable to move any portion of his person, excepting his head and neck. He was taken into court on this cot by the officers, and pleaded guilty to twenty odd offenses, amounting to°|2oo -and costs. He was taken on his cot to the work-house, at an expense to the State of $65 While on his way, at Bellows Falls, lie waS* noticed by one of the Directors of the State Prison, an intimate friend of Governor Far nam, who, becoming interested in the unfort unate man’s condition, offered to use his influence with the Governor to obtain for him a pardon, it he would promise to quit the business of selling rum. The prisoner firmly declined to give any such assurance, and the Director left him to his fate. Plainly temperance cannot be lawed into people. ‘Airs. Jones, you must come into my room soon and see my lovely baby,” said a fond mother to a fellow lodger. “Thank you, I heard him all last night,” was the equivocal reply. TEETHINA.
