Approved December 21. 1861. J86f Tbe following sharp practice of a I boy ten years old, son of Mrs. Horine, occurred last week in Barre county. The lad and his mother were riding a colt on the open prairie, when they were met by a squad of secesh from Granby, who ordered them to dismount. The leader placed bis own saddle on the colt, mounted tbe latter, and was thrown off quicker than thought. Boy exclaimed " good," at which manifestation secesh swore roundly. The boy then appeased their wrath by saying : " Gentlemen, there is a curl on that colt's neck by which you can always know him." They desired tbe boy to point out the mark, when the little fellow stepped up to his favorite animal, grasped the mane with one band, and with the other slipped off tbe bridle. The colt, as if understanding the joke, "skedaddled" over the plain, leaving the captors perfectly astonished at being thus so easily outwitted. Col. Billy Wilson askd to Resign. Tbe latest information from Fort Pickens is that serious difficulties have arisen between the staff and line officers of the regiment and Col. Wilson. They are said to be greatly dissatisfied with bis abilities as a military man, and accuse him of conduct highly culpable iu a commanding officer. On the 13th nil the officers, with two exceptions, waited npon and requested him to resign the command of his regiment. It is said that he refused to listen to their request. The officers seem determined to resign from the regiment themselves, or compel him to withdraw. Should the Colonelcy of the regiment become vacant, the officers propose to tender it to a United States officer. Here is an old epigram in two lines or rather an epit.pb, sharp enough to wake up the vixen, if she were not very dead indeed : " Here lies my wife Polly, a terrible s.irew. If I said I was aorry, then I sbeuld lie, top."

A parson out West attended church

service oh a recent Sabbath, and took down in short hand the hymn 4s sung by the choir. The result of bis labor produced the following : " Waw-kaw, swaw, daw aw waw, Thaw saw, thaw law aw waw, Waw kuw, taw, thaw vaw-vaw haw Aw thaw raw-ja w saw aw," He subsequently ascertained that this was the verse given out : " Welcome sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise. Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes." Stbangi Affaib. A gentleman in London, who had not lived long in bis bouse, went to the sea-side for a week or two leaving everything safe, and hia furniture locked up in the various rooms. When he returned it was late at night, and he could not find his bouse. It had absolutely been sold, pulled down, and carried away in hi absence. The assistance of the police was obtained, when it was found that a person of fashionable exterior bad called upon a furniture de'aier, and upon some pretext that he wished to em inflate, asked bim to value the furniture in the bouse. An estimate was given, a bargain was Btrock, and everything taken away. The thief then went to a bricklayer, and Inventing a story that he wished to build a larger house upon tbe site, sold tbe brick and materials for what they would fetch. The astonishment of the owner, fresh from sea-bathing, who left a bouse and furniture, and on his return could find neither, was a caution." Disappointed. Some of those who are so very anxious that the South should liave its rights, were very much elated at the news by grapevine Telegraph from Evansville via Phillipstown, to the effect that there had been a fight in Kentucky, in which the Federals were badly whipped, and were rushing into Evausville by the thousands, perfectly panic-struck. The news was expressed through the neighborhood with lightning rapidity, but " alas! poor Yorick," unfortunately the battle has'nt come off, and the Federals are not defeated, and they are not rushing into Evausville by the thousands. When the real battle is fought, the news will be of a different character, and tbe laugh will be with those who love their country. Orayville Independent. We have just received a copy of the Memphis Appeal. It contains a long article, making bitter complaints that tbe re quisition of Gen. Harris upon the militia of tbe State has failed utterly. We anticipated its failure from the first. We have no doubt that there are thousands and thousands of the Tennessee militia who would heartily rejoice at the marching of the Federal army through their State. Louisville Journal. 8JT TLere are now more heavy guns in position in New York harbor than there were at Sebastopol when attacked, or than are now in the world-renowned fortifications of Cronstadt. The fire of two hundred and fifty guns can be simultaneously concentrated at one point npon a fleet attempting tbe passage of the Narrows. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Fine FufGrloves.
