One .Saturday. the cousins were on the square playing marbles, when they saw a farm-wagon {Misting with ever so many basketaof strawl terries. “ How do yon sell your strawberries?” Wyatt called. The man did not hear, but went rattling on. “ Ho, there (Shouted Snaps ; “what's the price of your berries ?'* Both boys now ran after the farmer, calling for him to stop, w hich he did after a time. “Twenty cento tlie basket,” replied the farmer, lifting tlie grape-leaves from one basket and another of the scarlet i Iw-nutics. " Just picked this morning,” | lieadded. The boys climbed upou the wheels, and looked longingly at the fruit “ Let you Lave three baskets for half-u-dollar.” ' “ What’ll you take for the lot?" “ Well, lei's see,” said the fanner -, but. instead of seeing, he shut his eyes up cluse, aud bent his forehead on his hand. “They 's thirty-five baskets. I'll let ye hev the hull uv tun for four dollars, set-in* it’s you ; that's lent 'n a shillin’ the basket. That’s dreadful i cheap, an’ I wouldn’t let ye hev mu fer no rich money es ye wus men an’ women. ’ But bein’ ye're boys, ye kin take tun. Ye kin <*.io git tw.-nty two wnt»the basket. ' I’d git that es I had time to wait on the s •<.!■< > ; but, ye see, I want to git-back to hum.’’ “ Say we take 'em,” said Wyatt. “ All right," was Snapps' answer. I’beu the subject of the baskata came up ; so the lx<ys promised solemnly to leave them, when emptied, at Mr. | Nodlers gVrx’cn, .wh.>re the farmer would call for them. Then Wyatt ran over to the savings batik 4o draw the money. ’ ' Well, the money was paid, and tlie strawberries were delivered on. the ride- | walk. After discussing miitters, the. boys agreed, in the first place, to ««t each 'a basket of the ix>rri< j . They , dn-iilt d to set up a stand on the corner . of tlie square for the ride of the re- I tuainder. Wyatt lx>rrow«*tl one chair from his father's office, which was near at hand, and another from his mother's" kitchen, which was quite removed. The speculators IxviTowed a plank ; this renting on the chairs,' made the. stand for the bankets. These were s|«sdilv put in artistic and tempting ■rr.vy. Then the Ixiys wiped their hands and fao-s, ixhuls d their liair with their fingers. toTmhed up their neck-ties, straightened themselves up, and made nsuly for the rush of customers with which they would be assailed. , They c.ciuteiol about the plank, sniffing at the Ixrrics, ixxxuuoually eating one, looking iiKMilwhile up aud down the street for customers. A half hour went slowly by, “ Yonder comes Hilly Barlow,” said . Sinqm. “ I’ll I»ct he’ll want to trade his old luirlow-knife for some lierries. He's Iws'u try in' for a year to get aomebody to trade son., thing or other for that old broken bladed, rickety knife."

The young folks of Dovecot Square wanted a jiestedfice, and one pleasant afternoon they all gathered on Alice Brown’estops to talk the matter over. ! Zack Brown elected himself Chairman of the meeting by taking possession of a red chair op the verandah, mnl calling ont ** Order I” in a very loud tfflie. The rest of the children were seated on the steps, except Johnny Snow, who mounted onto one of the flat gate-posts. “ Ordercried the Chairman, again, and all were quiet. “As many as want is past office,” he continued, “hold np their right hands.” And hands, right and left, went up with a will. ‘♦lt's a vote,” t’aid Jack. ‘Now. where shall it be is the next question.” j “ Under our steps," said one. “On the lamp-post,” said another. “ Ladies and gentlemen, all listen to Moms," interrupted Ciiairnmn Zaek. And Morris Clark, the largest boy, went on to teU his plan.' “ Let us have a boa fastened just inside Zack Brown’s gate. A'wooden box will be the best, and it must have a hole in the top for the letters to go in. " “ May I speak I " said Edith Snow. “ Miss Suow has the flour," says the Chairman. “I can get a box just right for tiiat. It has a sliding cover, and one of the I Isiys can cut a hole in the top.” “My new knife is as sharp as a razor,” answered Charley Green, “and I will do it.” ' “ All right.

The public was shocked a <Lty or two ago by intelligence of one of the most fiendish murders on record that wasqxirpetrated jpear Bellefontaine, Ohio, by •; man named Schell, the victim being a young girl living in his house. The wife of th.* murderer, at the Coroner's in quest, testified that her husband had told her he intended to rape and then mnrder tlie girt Owing to the resistance of his victim he wivs unable to accomplish the first part of his plan, but he murdered her in the most brutal manner. The people m the neighborhood were naturalhv greatly incensed at the outrage, and at an early hour on the morning of tlie 25th of Sept.-ml>er the mbraerer was taken from the IJetlefonta'ne jafl 1»y a mob, an.T lynched most I summarily; A correspondent, who was present at the lynching, gives the following account of the affair: ; “ Ou yesterday the sturdy farmers began to assemble in Bellefontaine, and at 6 o’clock, p. m., the town was full o |x*ople in a stat.* of excitemenLand evi-, ilenlly’wihi one idea as TSTKai Impiit to ‘ Imdoua. During the evening gfoupaj of men stood, around UmjjUeeb iiig quietly and in firm tones of the situation. There was no brag, no bluster, i|nd no whisky. Tile 10 o’clock train j from the South brought about a hundred pen from along the road, and about 11 6'clock the most active }>articipanta went to a brick-kiln in’ the outskirts of the town, and organiz.nl in four companies of about twenty-five men yacli. The coiu{>ani«*H and the men were all num- j ■ bered. For masks they ha.l handkerf * chiefs tied across the lower half of the face, ami some luul their c.«ts thru.*.! inside out, aud their hats slouched over their eyes. Company one carried an iron rail taken from some switch, and the pro- I cessiou inarched sternly and quietly through the principal street of the town to the. Court-House, turned down tlie street immediately south of it,, and so r>»uiid in front of the jail, which is in the I rear of the Court-House. Here they came to a halt, aud a man who acted as leader stepped tip to the jail door, knocked on il.i and called - Mr. Sheriff,' in a loud voice, three times. No answer being elicited, he turned round to tlie quietlywatehing crowd and said: * Company One, do your duty 1’ Company One advanced, carrying the rail: in quick suecession they delivenxl a series of batter-ing-ram blows, which no door could long withstand, and soon forced it from its hinges. With cold-chisels and sledgehammers they hewed a j»trth to the cell when* the diximed man lay. lu about J twenty-five minute*, from the time wheu they luul burst in the outer door, the leiukr appesirtxl at tlie entrance, and auuoniKxxl to the expectant crowd, ‘ We’ve g-ot him ami will bring him Out ami nu.ke him confess this ami other crimes.' , The aunonneement was rereived by tin populace with stern demonstrations of approval, and after n moment’s delay. * tlu* committee appeared with their pris oner. Emeigiug from the jail, they t.xk uptheir line of march back round the Court House.

A dry goods lx>x was pushed forward, and on this impromptu seaffokl Schell took his stand for his last ten minute* of life. As he stood there taring bis executioners, with the flickering light of a kerosene lamp playing over his features, his tearing was singularly stolid and impassive. Some disposition was manifested to sun him up at once, but calmer ixiuusels prevuihxl, and his self -constituted judges informed him briefly that he luul a few moments to live, >uul invited him to improve the time by making a .xmfetmon of his crime, or rather crimes, for there was more than one count in Judge Lynch’s indictment. Thus, urged, heojx n.xl his lips, butqnly to reiterate his deniid of the charges, aud toeharge his wife with the commission of tlie murder. “ Permission was extended to pray. In tlie same monotone he said. ‘ I hope . tin* Lord will have mercy on me aud all Os von." Ten minutes had now elapsed, ' I aud the Icutler detailing four men whom he designated by numbers, cried, i • Push away the box !’ At the word the box was knocked away, and James * Schell was sus|x*nded in air, with his feet ; about two feet from the ground. His i Ixxly swung hack and forth like a pendulum with th* vibratory motiou <*ommiuiieutexl to it by the box in taring re- . imw<xl. His neck was probalily broken, as his head was jerked lock s<> that his face lay horizontal.

Very slight cause seems to be ample to induce self-taking-; off. One man destroys himself because of unhappy domestic life; another because he hay no domestic life at aIL One takts Paris green liecause he has no work to do; another swallows morphine j because his brother, as he supposes, i pays other employes more promptly ti.an ‘ he pays his own kinsman. For the cowardly act of suicide, there is usually little excuse and slight palliation. We question if even the r?cent» self-inflicted death of the Baroness Ma- j cedo, of Paris, could be deemed other I tlian cowardly. She was about sixty years of age, and was the widow of a [ Portuguese Admiral, the Baron de Ma- i cedo. She possessed a handsome for- , , tune, mid wont a great deal into the best ■ society of . Paris, mingling especially with the diplomatic set. For some years past she lias been snflering from a can- j cercus tumor, to relieve which she had I i recently undefgone a painful and dan- j gerous operation. The operation had failed, and her physicians had informed her that it would be necessary for hex to e undergo another. As she had suffered i terribly, she was heanl to say that she would rather die than recommence. A, few weeks ago her femme de vhambre, i on entering her Ixtl-room in the morning, found tj*e loom full of charcoal gas, and Madame de Macedo extended insen- ; sible on the tied. She was revived with difficulty, and on coming to her senses scolded her servant roundly, saying she had merely been asleep. The other day she gave her servants permission to go out for the afternoon, saying that she had received an invitation to go out driving and would not return till very late. When the servants got back they found Madame de Macedo lying a corpse on a feather bed in one of the corridors < of her suite of apartments. Around her had been placed a number of furnaces, t ach of which had been filled with charcoal, and beside her lay an empty tattle labeled “ etla r." Medi-j cal assistance was at once summoned, ' but the physicians could only - state the fact tliat she had been dead for more ■ thrnPhn hour. CHEATIXG -4. V I.V.VOf’KVF o/.u V.4.V. One day last month, when trade was I dull, a Vicksburg grocery J elerk pro-; /cured a piece of sole leather from a shoemaker, paint“d it black, and laid i; aside . ' for future use. Within a few days an old chap from back in the country came in and inquired for a plug of chewing tobacco. The piece,of sole leather was tied up, paid for, and the purchaser Started for home. At the eud of; the sixth day he returned, looking; downcast and dejected, and, walk- i ing into the store, lie . inquired of the clerk: “ ’Member tliat terbacker 1 got tare the other day:’’ “ Well, was that a new brand:” “ Xo—same old brand.” *• Regular plug terbacker, was it:” .“Yea." “Well, then, it’s me ; it’s right here in my jaws,” sadly replied the man. “ I knowed I was gittin purty old, but I j was alius handy on bitin plug.

The printer, who rummages after , unintelligible pieces of metal; who cor- j recta, on an average, about fifteen villainous errors an hour in common words, such iw usveh r, jaile|", hypocrisy, fulfill, holi*l y, gauge, separate, idlege, fetal, judgment, skillful, counselor, impanel, and many other simple ones, and makes probably one blunder in 5,000 words, is fxjfquendy asked to step down and out. No wonder he feels savage, and (kinks whisky and beer, and talks about the ignorance of the aristocrats, the middle classes, and all other classes. ” Ex-Gov. Sexmovb, in a speech to the Army of the Cumberland, made a very happy statement of his military qualities when he said, “Gen. Grant will admit that in a little contest I had with him Ite ran a great deal faster and further than I did.” i'

” HEIGHT OF XIAGAKA FAEi.fi. I On Friday last a Xiagara Falls Regis- j : ter reporter interviewed the camp of en-; ■ ; gineers of the United States Lake Snr-' I vey, at present fixated near Suspension Bridge, and gathered the following particulars: “ The survey party consists of five distinct corps, each numbering about twenty men. Each party takes a section of about ten miles—making a survey cf coast line of fifty miles at one time. They have just completed the surl vey of the whole shore of Lake Ontario, the topography of the shore and sound-1 ings being clearly marked. The party at, ' tiie moutii of the Niagara river are just i I finisidng the survey of the river from Lewiston to Xavy Island. The sound-: j ings at this point have not been so satis- i factory as at other points of: the river. I At the new Suspension bridge good re- ’ suits were obtained, the lead under the j bridge showing :* depth of feet, while a little Iwlow the depth varied I from 162 to 165 feet The height of the American Falls is 158 feet—an accurate i measurement, as by the assistance of a i guide the lead was plaeed at the base of ■ 1 the falls near the “ Shadow of the Rock.” I ' c { It will be observed tliat the above meas, ■ urement of the American Falls is the same as former surveys give as the depth ' Jof the Horse Shoe or Canadian Falls, viz.: 158 feet, while the previous meas- ' urement of the American Falls, is stated ;at 164 feet in perpendicular height. The 1 line of the American Falls, usually j I stated as 200 feet in length, is so ragged j tliat it is difficult to obtain any exact | measurement. The survey party intend ! to overcome this difficulty by tile use of ; mirrors, by throwing a light from one ■; I side to any desired point on the other shore. It is believed that the disputed ; question whether the line of the Falls is extending up tbe river v. ill be settled, : though doubts are enterta ned whether tiie survey of 1842 can be relied upon as ; a correct liasis of calculation. ADVICE TO A I‘OET. A young gentlegoan, whose name is i Joseph, sends to the New York Tribune for publication the worst verses wliich j the editor remembers to have wrestled ; with. He wishes us (says the Tribune), • to print them and to pay him for them i “what we think them to be worth.” I There is nothing unusual in the consignment of broken tacked stanzas ; but in a letter that comes with theur, the writer tells ns that be “ does not know whether to be a farmer or a poet,” and our advice is invoked respecting the dilemma. “My minister says,” observes Joseph, “ tliat I have a great deal of talent, and that it makes the tears come to his eyes to read my poems ; that my grandfather says he had rather see me hoe potatoes’; | than write poetry. ” And then the confession follows : “It is a great deal i Cosier for me to write poetry than to hoe potatoes.” Os course it is ; but which ' i is the more respectable business ’ Poets j just now are as plenty as peaches ; but first class potatoe-diggers, with a real ! genius for that business, are not so com-. , mon. There are prizes to lie. won in this , department of human energy, and wreaths which may .be economically < woven of the tops of the plant itself. Joseph, the lu ail of your reviVepd grandsire is level. You say that he is “ol 1 fashioned,” but so is common reuse, which is none the-worse for its antiquity. Potatoes will always lx- in request, but poems are already a drug in the market, with no prospect of diminished supply and increased demand. The pen ! is mightier than the sword, we admit, but the plowsliare beats both. Wherefore, young Joseph, we hope tliat you will follow the advice of grandpa, and ; write no poems when you can find any- i ■ thing better to do. IXTEKTIEIVED THE UKOXIi FEKtiOX. It being understood that Dr. Mary Walker was a jxvssenger on the Oakland Iwiat from San Francisco, a reporter of tlie sought to interview her.

Sometimes it is in its native state,but most frequently in a state of ore combination. ’ It lias been found in all parts of the world, and is one of the heaviest of metals- It is extensively used in the arts and forms, in different combina- ■ tions, a most valuable medicine. It can only be rendered solid or frozen bv a de- i gree of cold, indicated by forty degrees i j below zero. If you drop it you cannot I pick it up ; it slips away from yon; it « | seems as if it were alive, and hides itself •in the cracks.
