A WrNr BUT,AR Cmct’MSTAXCE.—In v linton, 111, a young woman over two years ago, after washing windows, was re placing them when she struck her hant] through the .glass, running several long i pieces into her band. After several days a physician was called, aud, as was suppos ed, the glass all extracted. But it ap ! pth’vs nut to have been the ease as a large • quantity was left in the hand, which soon made its appearance under the skin j un h cr ann > and spreading until it has I extended to all pails of her body. It j lias been extracted from the eyes, head, arms and feet, and in fact, from all parts jof her body. Six months ago it caused the lock-jaw, with which she was afflict ed for about six weeks, except that she could drink between ber clenched teeth. s At present she is a raving maniac more dian half th« time, and in such agony a> words will no' describe, and too° iu credicable to tell. At intervals she is j rational, and able to sit up and do some work. Lp to the 14th instant over 1,200 pieces of glass had been cut out i of her flesh, ! - T Smiaup.—A good story is told, says t the Chattanooga Union, of a shrewd far mer in a Dado cor.nty, who rather “did’’ one of tlie ( hattanooga butter buyers last week. The firmer divided an ex cellent onion with a merchant, and, after the wholesale buyer had regaled himself upon the bulbous root, Mr. Farmer al lowed him to examine a tub of butter in which the “let k ’ was unable,to overcome the onion, and ilie butter was pronounc ed “first-rate,” ar.d sold at a first class price. Bully for the State of Dale ! A henpecked husband saws that in stead of himself and wife being one, they are ten ; for she is 1 and he is 0. There's always one ponsoiation, whatr ever our misfortune, it might be worse. Mere life hanging on a thread, it would be a comfort to know it was not hang ing on a rope.

YN hen the Hindoo Priest is about to baptise an infant, lie utters th.e following beautiful sentiments: “Little baby, thou enterest the world weeping while all around thee smile; contrive so to live that you may depart in smiles while all around you weep.” When any une was speaking ill of an other in (ho presence of Peter the Great, he at first listened to him attentively, and-then interrupted himt ‘ls there not a fair side, aho, to the character of the person of whom you are speaking? Come, tell me what good qualities you have remarked about him. 1 cannot conceive, ray dear, what’s the matter with my watch ; I think it must want cleaning, exclaimed an indul gent husband to his better half, the oth er day. No, pa, said his petted little daughter. I know it don’t want cleaning, because baby and I washed it in abasia ever so long this morning. Postmaster—‘Well my lad, what will you have ?’ Boy—‘Here’s a letter sis wants to go along as fast as it can; cause there’s a feilow r wants to have her here, and she’s courted by another fellow what ain’t here, and slio wants to know wheth er lie’s going to have her or net. A young lady at a temperance meeting said : Brotherin and sisters—Cider is a necessity to mo and I must have it. If it is decided that we are not to drink t;i der, I shall eat apples and get some fine young man to squeczG me; for I tell you that I can’t live without that delightful j nectar, the juice of the apple !” Our I “Devil says ho can do the squeezing and 1 furnish the apules too?” The credit has Icon carried to a pret ty line point in some of tlio rural dis tricts, if wo may judge from the following dialouge, said to have recently occurred between a customer and the proprietor: ‘How’s trade, ’Squire ?’ ‘Wall, cash trade’s kinder dull now, Major.’ ‘Dun anything ferday?’ ‘Wall, only a little on credit.
