A turtle has lived forty-three years ' in the neighborhood of Kinderhook, as shown by the various dates cut on < his shell. A goat society is the last English hobby. An Earl is the president, and j every poor man. according to the pro- 1 gramme, is to have a goat. J Mr. Von der Pfordten, formerly 1 Premier of Bavaria, is dead. By his ' resignation in 1866 Bismarck was rid ; of a powerful and bitter antagonist.

Sunday school children are no longer taught to believe that "Lots wife was turned into a pillar of salt: but in the •■lnternational Bible Studies" for Sunday schools, it is said that she was caught in a storm, which ■ sulfocated her, encrusted her. and possibly burned her to a cinder. A remarkable woman. Mrs. Mary, Ann Dean, died lately in St. Lotus. , She was 27 years old. and had been married twenty years. She was the | mother of twenty-one children, of whom there were three pairs of twins, two sets of triplets, and four were born at one birth. Ten of her children are living, j The lynching of the brothers Grider, at Laurens. S. C., was conducted by the brothers Workman, whose sister they had maltreated. A mob of about fifty persons took the Griers from their home, and tied them to tv< trees. Then the Workmans stepped forward with! pistols and deliberately killed the offenders. The evidence is conclusive that some brother uttered a profane oath in a meeting of the Universalist church at Reading, Pa., but it is not clear who he was. There was a great deal of confusion. a charge of falsely counting the vote cm the resignation of the pastor having been made, and the highly ob-j jectionable words were among the many j ejaculations. An investigation is to be } held.
