J didn't know what in thun der was up with ’em, hut i detemin. and to £ud out. It was a wet, dtizzly kind of day, and I could get along over the leaves and not make a hit of noise. - I scooted along from tree to tree, and at last I come to a place wlieie that was about two acres of hogs. Sich a sight of hogs I never did see. I’har they stood ami squirmed ahoht, kiverin’ all the ground. All had thar bristles up, an’ all was a “hooh, Itoo ia ; at a fearful rate Thar was whi e hogs, black hogs, sandy hogs spotted hogs and hugs of all sizes’ colors, and deg leer, of cussedness Med' they was just bilin’mad froth in at the ’ui'Uth and champin’ their tee'll feaiful.

He was handsomely need, and wasn’t in any pleasant fix, as he was beginniu’ to fiod out. All about him was a mass of uneasy hair, devi isVi eyes, frothin' niou ba and gleamin’ teeth.

WheD he had a moment to rest an gaze about, all he saw was thorn two aciesof open mouths, restless bristles, and fh-ry eyt s. His long, rod tongue hung out of his open j-iws, and as he moved his h-ad from side to side he seemed to have about the poorest con ceit of his smartness ot any woll I ever set and.

A confirmation of the strange report that a shower of fish had fallen on the fourth concession of Harwich Township, is given by a school teach er of the neighborhood, who in a let ter to the Loudon Fret Press, testifies to what he saw as follows; “Having dismissed the children for the day, I was returning tomy board ing place, when, with a side glance, I discovered romething i grass.— At first 1 thoi's" 1 Wlie some species ot rattlesnake, hut upou more careful scrutiny I found it was a fine, firm, ! froth fiisli of the pickerel sp cisr.— Having been Brought up At the sea shore, I knew at once the fish was i good and picked it up, while wonder ing whence it came. “My astonish ment wa incieased, however, when, stepping on a few yarJs further, I found auother < qu.illy good. A few steps further, and one more, and then I thought I ought to return to the schoi lrontn for some paper in which to wrap them. On entering the room I seized (rather thoughtlessly, you will say,) one of the pail-, and proceeded to collect fish. Wiien I had more tli n halt tilled the pail, I saw a mat: iu the distance currying seme fish, aud supposing the mys’ory was about to he solved, I awaited Ills approach. I dropped the pail, and full somewhat guilty for haviug appropriated the fish, till relieved by his ussuiing me that he had gathered up, also, those lie had in the same way, and tie had just beeu cu ling the laig> et oi them. “He oln-eived, “These are as good and i.esh us luuney could buy,” 1 filled the p il, not only to the hiiui, but up the whole height' ol lie hand le, mid having deposited my burden, uatutally, in t! * faun house here 1 Boaided, 1 returned to collet: the re mainder.

Whoever has habitually 'tended circuses in this country remeuiheis tbe Conrad brothets, acrobatic clowns, and their comical peifoimaete, in which one pretended to be dead, while the other tumbled him about. They recently went to Germany. The Lm dou Era contains tbe following; One evening the eldei Conrad fell to the gn und alter a ptetenried i low, and was turned and returned, a- usual.— Hi- arms and legs were je ked, he was struck and kicked and dragged, but pn sei ved a steady impassibility Suddenly in expiessiou of <iis ress could be noticed though the gmtesque ly painted iiiieameins of bis brothei, who hasti.y dropped on his knees mid placed his hand upou ih° heart of his inanimate clown, exclaiming, ‘‘Mv poor br ther is dead!” A this the audience only laughed. “Gentlemen,” said the distiesseii man, with terrs in' his voice, “I a--ure you that lie is dead. Then, irking him tendeily in his anus, lie bore trim from the ar na.

Last night, how ever, an incident ocnuried which not only startled the family, but gives the coroner more work to do. Young Louis Samuels, while walking along Grand street, just before dark, met his father faje to face at the corner of |Eim street. The astonishment of the son can he more imagined than des- Ncrihed. His fattier greeted him af fectionately, asked him cheerfully ahout family matters, and easily con vinced Louis that a serious mistake had been made.
