And all ia still, in silence and In peace,

From tlie N. V. Spirit et till. Times.
A SSr-U'PERV STORY.
A ludicrous ?cene occurred lie-1 other day in Anthony street, near where (he new theatre is in course
of construct; on. whieh, ¡i'a deSGrfptton may eonvey
an adequate Impression of it, is well worth the telling.
One of t'ie laborers growing thirsty under the
influence of a hot sun. went hastily over to the
nearest- hydrant fbr a drink*, and chipping his capacious month to tin? spout, imbibed theCroton jnst
aa it cainoin the most forcible and plenteous manner
imaginably. Hardly had poor Mike, however,
tasted the gushing flood that distended his cheeks,
when he started boltuprlght, and with a look of
amazing horror, oonimeiic d a aeries of pantomimic
contortions which were absolutely painful to witness.
" 0\v—ow—ugh!'' he groaned convulsively, af
the same time clewing at his throat in a frenzied
manner, while lie spirted water forth again-with
the energy of a wounded whale ; then suddenly
recovering the use of hi ■ p ■- ■ b be i bouted—"Oob,
marther! but lues gone,—it's all over wid me
now !■"
4i What's gone V exclaimed I'm crowd that had
gathered around him.   " What's gone?"
"IVe swallowed bim]   Oh, howly St. Patrick!
IVe swallowed bim f';
,cAndwbai t&e deuce is ityeVe swallowed?"
" A snake! a murlheriiig snake!    Oh, howly St.
Fatricic protect me?-''
" Sure, then yo've made a saving of yer dinner F
said a feilow laborer, more alive to fun than sympathy,—while a shout of mingled laughter ami incredulity followed in which even the poor sufferer
could hardly restrain irom joining.
" But wasjt alive, man ?" Inquired an individual
when the confusion subsided.
" Alive, did you say ? By the blessed powers, ye
don't think I'd be afier eating him dead? Alive,
is it? and didn't he jump down my throat in spite
of my teeth?" Then clapping his hands to hi
stomach, he exclaimed, " Och hone, he's squirming
now! Oh, howly ¿Só Patrick! Oh, wliyditl'iit ye
do yer work entirely, aad kill the shakes Iii this
murthering country Loo? Help! he'd bit" iiie in-
side iv me! Oh howly ÍÍ03W¡ Help! miu'ilier!
lire!" and pnnr'itíke dis trac led by fear, cut more
capera than a Camat.ehe at a wardaaco.
"Tut, tut! be quiet, man!" returned another.
" How do yon know il was a snake ?"
"How does I know, is it? Did'nt T falo bim
wiggling his tail ? Oh howly saint deliver hie!''
A benevolent looking gentleman here suggested
* that it might possibly be a ¡bit, or perhaps au eel,
and remarked there ought to ha a Ibi.r attached lo
every hydrant in thecüy, aa the water was iuil oi
all sorts of auiruaieane etc,
"It's an ail! it's an aili" ¡shouted a hodman,
Catching at tiie idea. "Mite, it's an ail! run fora
filter, aud you'll catch the rascal prisintly."
" A fitter! a filter V waSthe general cry, "Han,
Mike, for a filter." Without waiting to enquire
into the feasibility of using the article in question
for the purpose desired, the poor distracted =Soh of
Eriu started with tiie speed of a race-horse for the
office in Ii roadway, where the picture of Hebe standing In ths front window, "pours her never ceasing
fount."
" A what d'ttc call em?" cried he, rushing frantically iuto the establishment.    "A snake catcher
for the love of 1   Oh howly Saint Patrick !"
he continued, snatching up one and applying it energetically to his lips, " Come out wid ye, ye thief
o' thc world."
"My good fellow,'-' eaid ¡h" astonished knight of
Diaphams, "what's the mutter with you?"
"Matter is it? isn't everything thc matter!    I've
got an ail iu my stomach! och, Imllnboo !"
"An eel! how came an eel in your stomach?"
"And din't the varmint jump into my mouth
without saying by yer leave!" said the bewildered
sufferer endeavoring to screw tlie filter to his lips.
"But that won't do you  any  good  now.     It
Should have been attached to tho hydrant, and then
yon might have drank with perfect safety."
" And .won't it catch him uow ?" asked Mike, in
a piteous tone, turning aghast as he dropped the
instrument in despair.
** Of course not, how should it?"
. "Och! murther, what will become of mc?" cx:-
clalmed Mike, ivith agony truly painful to behold.
"Get a sttekdologer fish-hook! shouted a wag
from the crowd.
" Run for the doctor !" said another, "and geta
¡stomach pump."
This suggestion was instantly followed, and he
started for a drug store near by. The apothecary,
however, applied an emetic for a pump, and the
poor fellow, after a voilcnt retching, ejected a lively black eel about sis inches long.
"Oh howly St. Patrick!" he'exeUimefl. experiencing immediate relief. "Why flint ye make
clean work of it and kill the p.Ua pa well! share,
»id they're the first eotisin to the wicked sarpinta.
Tlie Circa t ¿Plague.
In "Dickens'Child's History of England," "Vol.
2, we find the following respecting ti*c Great
Plague that prevailed iu tlie seventeenth century
iu »he city of London :
" For this waa thc year and the time of the Great
Plague in London. During the winter of 1664, It
liad'been whispered about that Some people had
died here and there of disease called the Plague,
in some of.the unwholesome suburbs of London.
News WW not published at that time as it is now.
and some people believed these rumors and some
disbelieved them and they wore soon forgotten.
But In the month of May, 166=5, it began to be said
all over the town that tlie disease had burst out iu
-":. i ,:l ■-) and that the people were flying in great
numbers. This soon turned out tobe awfully true*
'fhe roads of London wore ílinked up by people
endeavoring to escape from the infected city, and
large sums Were paid for any kind of ¿onveya'.iee.
■o soon spread ¿o fast that it was necessary
to shut up the bouseio which tiie people were, aud
to out them o¿¡' from the living. Lvory one of
those hou ■ ■  i -1 on the ou'-mle of the
'. a red cross, and tho words **Lord have
mercy o ■ us b' Theetreetawerealldeserted, grass
grew in the ii'i':lie ways, au-l there Vas au awful
silencein fi      I   (fight  came  on, dismal
rumblings used, to,be beard] and those were the
wheels of the death oart, attended by men with
veiled face■-. an I hoM'-.g cloths to their mouths
who rang doleful bells, and cried iu a loud and
solemn voice—-firing out your dead.9 The corpses
put iuto these carts were buried by torch light
iu great pits, no service being performed over them
—all men being afraid to slay fora moment on
the bank of the- ghastly graves. In the general
feveiychildren ran away from their parents, aud
parents frem their children.
Some who were taken ill, died alone and without any help. Some were stabbed or strangled by
hired nurses, who robbed them of all their money
and stele the very beds on which they lay. Some1
(not mad, dropped from their windows, ran thro'
the Streets and in theft pain aud frenzy, threw
themselves into the river. Those were not all the
horrors of the lime. The wicked and dissolute, in
wild desperation, sat in taverns, singing and roaring songs, and were stricken as they sat, and went
out and died. The fearful and supernatural sights
■burning sworfls in Ihe sky, gigantic arms and
darts. Oth'T.i pretended that at night vast crowds
ghosts walked round and round the dismal pits.
Oue madman, naked, carrying a brazier full of
burning coals upon his head, stalked through Ihe
streets, crying that lie was a prophet commissioned to denounce the vengeance of the Lord on wicked London. Another also went to and fro, exclaiming : "Yet forty days and London shall be
destroyed!" A third awoke tlie echoes of the dismal streets, by aight aoáVüay, and made the blood
of the sick run cold, by calling out incessantly, in
a de. p hoarse voice—" Oh the great aad the dreadful God?"
XI)rough tiie months of July, August and Sept.
the Great Plague raged more and more. Great
fires were lighted iu the streets, in the hope of
stopping the infection ; but there was a plague of
rafe, too, and that beat the fires out. At last the
winds lhat usually rise at that time called the
equinox, when day and night are of equal length
all over the world, fegan to blow and purify the
wretched town. The deaths began to decrease, the
ed crospes slowly to dUippear, tho fugitives to
return, the shops to open agaiu, pale, frightened
¡aces to be seen in the streets. The plague had
been in every part of England, but iu close and
unwholesome Loudon, it had killed one hundred
thousand people."

Ko traffic was permitted, and all endeavors on

everything was done, ami sueces-d'ully. bnt under

Tins I-í-.!Í y and lici- Cob
Tiie Boston Transcript gives un amusing account of an event that occurred in that cily a few
days since. It seems that, a French lady residing
there had a favorite cat, which, in the course cf
time, had grown so troublesome and bold as to be
exceedingly annoying. Madame laid borne ita increasing encroachments for a long time uncomplainingly ami w t: _-p '.tie. c ; bat at last ba ddet r-
¡nined to hring h"r cuur.se to ,a sudden c-iul. This
was only accomplished after continued strivings
and self-contentions, but triumphed in the end.—
Madame, however, had a kind and tender heart.
She therefore prepare*', ft largo basket, lined it
wiih delicate cotton, periumes and flowers, and
capturing Miss Puss i:i au '.¡-¡guarded moment, she
f'oi'twith, v.iih many l,-ars. ¡uearceraied her in this
Ü\ n; tomb. When night came, lite disfcreájed
mistress, atti nd si My ft faithful female servitor, repaired to lhp.n -u'o-i bridge. Here her resolution
wa-\ereil, ¡¡.- 1 u'.m .1 gave "way, aud she wept btt-
ierly o\ cr her former ¿favorite ; but 'dually. Id;
the conclusion of a preamble, she was reaadred, and
was about eossignlug h'.-r vietiiu to the waters.
The few lucid momenta that had dawned on Miss
Fuss were being brought to ac'o-:e. Already \v
shc hovering !;etweeu liie and death ; the basket
was raised, and when it fell it was t > fall like Lnc"-
f, r never to rise again. At t!i!.s mome&ta strong
arm was luid upon be¡\ aud she heard a voice ex
claim— '-Wretched woman !—;;nhajipy female!—

of the French Consul, the asserted as plainly ae
she could that she appealed to him. The "poliis7'
reflected a moment—consented—and scon afier the
rescuer and the rescued, the infanticide and the
policeman, arrived atthe Consul's residence. Here
tho lady in her own tongue made known her story,
and thegsllantdelivered his. '-Open the basket!"
said the modern Arisfides. The basket was opened.     The  benevolent  gentleman  looked   at the
policeman» and the policeman in great disgust at
the benevolent gentleman. MYcli, I hope you are
satisfied?" remarked that functionary, cmiLemp-
tuously, as if absolving himself from auy parliel-
pancy in the matter ; and the benevolent gentleman, with, a fait '* Ü vest" consulted his watch,
wished somebody good morning, and faded out
iuto the darkness.

\-3,.: A deputation from Carson Valley lifts arrived at Sacramento, with petitions from that place,
for the admittance of it iuto the .State of Californi't.
They had pretty hard times on the road, tlie esdiBT
almost smothering them at some points. Tlie following is from one of thc company.
" As they ascended into tbenwantain the snow
increascd iu depth to two or three feet, and when
uight o\cr(ook them they had, aftera toilscme and
sull'oriug day, made but six miles, and the snow
around them four feet deep. Shortly before they
crossed one of their mules Mas missed, but they
could not go back for it. 'J'he prospects for thc
night were gloomy in the extreme. Theirmatchcs
had been so dampened by the rain the day previous,
that they found it impossible to make a lire, they
had nothing to eat. and wore compelled to camp
tathefenow as best they might. They passed a
dreary and Utter nighi, bnt daylight lound them
all ¡dive, and ¡he SOOW not increased so much lis to
prevent their advancing.
This day they succeeded in passing the summit
and gelling io Lake Valley, where tiie .-new \v¡u
then bat throe feet deep, and where a stack of hay
was found, which had been left there by a Mr.
Smitlv To this they tied their inulei;, and after
another night of suirbring aña endurance thc men
started for the Mormon .Station, distant seventeen
miles, for aid, leaving the mules at the hay stack.
The Station was reached the ¡-ame day, but assistance for the poor animals could not be conveyed
to them until the third day. when only three Mere
found alive; twelve of them having frozen to
death during the storm."

would be carried into olleclhcre ! What an army

long one, and" wben lie comes back it he finds Ufa
companion obliged logo to beá witii a headache,
let him look- somewhere else for a wife, unless in i-
band of paying Doctor's bills.
Speaking of early iaarriagc8,the Doctor remarked: 'In this ecuntry very few ladies arO fit eilher
physically CT mentally to  become motV.ers before
they reach the agti of titenty^one, twenty-two. w
three, bat SO precocious are our young ladies, that
ii' they happen tq pasa twenty without baring made
definite arrangements, they begin to consider themselves old maids, and before a ¡School girl is fairly
out of short dresses and pantalettes, she is looking
up beaux
" Amoug the ancient Germans, than whom a fip-
er race of men, physically, perhaps, never existed,
it was death for any woman lo marry before she
was twenty, und were this law to heVnacted and
ngoronsHy enforced among us, the amount of human lif. that would be saved thereby, is past all
computation/''
fcíGBJÍIorS íí<¡ol¡:.—ri'iie most impttdent and ex-
perl achievement In the art of thieving that ive
have lately heard of, was related to us a few de.yj
unce, as follows:
At a laborer's boarding house, where i tis customary in warm weather for them to leave their coats
the entry while at meals, a thief took into his
head to make an incursion one day when all hands
WSTfl busy at dinner. Accordingly he recouuoitered
fog passage way. saw a good variety of coats and
jackets, some new, some half worn, &C-, all of
v.h c'i he gathered into his nrifta, and waéJeareltSBly
making h& etai. Just as he was about to cross
thc threshold, the man of the house, who was Late
to dinner, arrived at the door,
'■What are you going to do with these coats?''
cried the landlord.
'I'm taking them to my shop, sliv-
'■Aud whatfbr!"
"The gentlemen want to get 'em scoured, ¡sir."
'•Oh, then, if that's till," said thc Iktrdlosd, you
mav Lik-miue along to.;-J
Saying, he duiied his garment, handed it over to
the thief and proceeded to his dinner,
The surprise of the boarders on missing thoi:
habiliments, and the confusion of the'Iandlord in
giving his statement, may well be imagined.
BnrMixou::CoAt.i.\"CAi.Tt-'OKxL'..—Thc State Jour-
nal says that a mine of bitumiiiou:; coal has been
discovered recently on Feather lili er, between
Marysville and liidwell's liar, at the western liase
of the foot hills. The vein has been traced eighteen miles among the mountains by sinking shafts.
and is from <i to S feet in depth, and about eighteen
feet wide. Itis unknown how much further tlie
vein extends, but it is in al! probability interminable and inexliausfable. The coal is represented as
being of a very superior quality—unmixed with
slate or other impurities common in most coal
mines—and of a, quality vastly superior to that
usually shipped to this country from cither king-
land, South America or the United States. It
burns readily, and emits a bright light and intense
heal, leavijlg a deposit of fine ashes. Tiie location
oi'the minéis about 20 miles from Marysville aud
easily accessible. A railroad could be built to
this place from Marysville at a moderate  expense.
JTjST- There is no office higher than that of a
teacher of youth, for.there is nothing on earth so
preciQUS 08 the mind, soul and characler ofthe
child. There should be no office more respected.
The first minds iii the community should be eu-
couraged to assume it. Parents should do all but
'mpovcrish themselves to induce such to become
the guardians of their children. They should
never have the least anxiety to accumulate property for tlieir children, provided they can plaee
them under influences which will awaken their
faculties, inspire them with higher principles, and
fit them to bear a manly, useful, ami honorable
part in the world. No language can express the
folly of that economy which, to leave a fortune
for a child, starve!.- tiie intellect and impoverishes
thc heart.
