—In traveling between this village and Blenheim on the main road there is a house that you have to pass three times. All sides of the house are presented to view except the bottom.

'—There are too many parents who don’t care much whether their childrt-n are in school or not, and don’t keep them there steadily. Some, in villages, allow them to be in the street much of the time, learning many evil things. Such boys are on a down­ward road. They may become sharp, but they will be igDorant of what will do them most good, and lack-what will do them more good than knowledge, good moral habits.

—The Smith trial has ended, and the Decker boy mystery r.emaius unsolved. Time alone can only disclose the facts, should they ever be disclosed. None can now accuse Smith of the crime, neither canSmith nor his friends blame the people for wanting to know how tbe#boy came to his death There now remains but one thing to be done about the matter, and that is, to drop the subject on all sides and “ chin up .”

— While at Schoharie last week, we had tavery pleasant conversation by telephonewith a Mr. Shoultis, of Bernville, 'th irteen7 / •miles distant. We hope that another year will see Gilboa connected with the County seat by telephone. By our present tele­graph system, messages have to go by the way of Kingston and Albany, and often take several hours for transmission, while if we were connected direct there ’would be no occasion for delay. _

—Why don’t the Literary Talent and So­ciety of our active little town# make some move this season in the lecture and enter­tainment way ? WTe would be glad to see the entelligent young men of the town ex­hibit more spirit and energy a n d ; arrange for a course of lectures or* at least one or more during the w inter months. Valuable instruction and much that is interesting to every one may be had and enjoyed in this manner, and at a trifling cost. This is an age of thought and knowledge and whatever contributes to the improvement of the mind is a positive gain and advantage to each of us.

The man of ideas, the man of skill and learning is a power in this enlighfened age, and therefore the platform lecturer as a pop­ular educator is most useful and valuable. The lecture which combines ‘stim filating. thought and infofin]attoii w ith apt illustra- tion and pleasmj^ai^Bcdbte &

—Very little is said in this town about the Court House question. We have talked with a number of tax-payers and farmers, and if from what they all say, we are to foretell the result of the coming election, we can prophesy but one way, viz : An almostsold vote against the proposed change. The town of Conesville seems to stand about the samfe on this-question. -

—The trial of Hiram L. Smith for the murder of David Decker came off last week, and resulted in the acquittal of the prisoner. Ever since the sudden disappearance of ihe Decker boy, public opinion has seemed to be turning against Smith, yet the prosecu­tion fitiled to prove anything that could cast a shadow of conviction on the minds of an unpredjadiced jury. In summing up the case, Mr. Krurfi, counsellor the defense, made a very eloquent speech, and when the verdict was rerfdered “Not G uilty,’’ the thronged court r|>om presented one of those impressive and touching scenes, never to be forgotten ; a tim | when hearts too full for utterance, overflfw and tears of joy start from the eyes d | sympathetic humanity. A purse of about l|200. was raised in the court room, and p^sen ted to Smith, after which he aud his family were conveyed to their home by hortfes. and carriage furnished by a kind citizen c|f Schoharie. On the first day and evening of February the friends of Mr. Smith will give him a benefit party at Smithton. Oysters and other refreshments will be served, andia band of music will bein attendance. ] '

M. and asked if he could stay all night, and or­dered supper. He appeared to be in good health, and good spirits. Upon learning that supper was ready he washed and went into eat. In a few minutes he was taken suddenly ill, and died almost instantly, and before a physician could be summoned. Justice Morse, of Strykersville, held an in­quest, when it was * decided that deceased died of apoplexy. His friends were at once notified, and on /Saturday a hearse arrived to remove the corpse to Catskill. The driver of the hearse said that doctors had told the deceased not to get far from home as he was liable to die at any time from heart disease,

A pilgrim, once (so ruhs an ancient tale), Old, worn and spent, creptdown a shad­

h igh f I ,Chill was the gusty airland dark the sky : The path was rugged, mid h isffee t were

bare;His faded cheek was seamed by pain and

care ;His heavy eyes upon the ground were

cast,And every step seemed feebler than the

last.

The valley ended where a naked rock Rose sheer from earth to heaven, as if to

mockThe pilgrim who had crept that toilsome

w ay;But while his dim and weary eyes essay To find an outlet in the mountain side,A ponderous sculptured brazen door' he

spied,And, "tottering toward it with fast-falling breath,Above the portal read : 4 ‘The Gate oe

Death, ”

He could not stay his feet that led thereto ft to his touch, aud, passing

TT e eame into a w orld a ll b rig h t and fa ir ;Blue were the heavens, and balmy was

the air jAnd, lo ! th e blood o f y o u th was in his

veins,A nd he was olad in robes th a t he ld no

e d ’Behold! a golden door behind him burned In that fair sunlight, and his wondering

eyes,Now lusterful aud clear as those new skies Free from the mists of age, of care and

strife,Above the portal read : 4 ‘The Gate op

Then he added : I orter & done it anyhow ; for I’m miserable now.

Did the woman you married lead you a reign (Of terror ?

A rain ? yes a whole deluge of it.How is that ?I found after I had married her that I was

wuss off than Deutoronomy when he sold his birthright for er mess o' poppies.

The little man was long of tongue and short in trowsers. He was holding to the fire a tumbler, warming it ready to take from it his usual dram of rum.

Cold days, continued he, call for warm hearts. But her’n were chiller than er cold ’tater. I t ’s the th o u g h t of i t th a t m akes meneed the rum.

Perhaps you do not appreciate women, said I.

I do he responded ; a good woman is a bundle of delight. But I married the wrong one. It was a mistake sure when I took that muss onto my hands. May I tell ye

-bout it ?Proceed, sir.Wall, my life’s been most a history. I

nicknamed my wife Poor Rule cos she couldn’t work any way and tried to rule me. My fust gal’d a scratched like er hen tu git a livin if I’d married her.

Where is your wife now ?Why, sir, she turned me off an left me to

scratch for myself long ago. That is why I have had such a mighty hard time to git a- long.

Did she abuse you ?Yis. You see she’d never had no edica-

tion or trainin . She’d never read her Bible furder’n the book of Exeter.

Did you try toimprove her mind ?Sarfcinly, for the first three mon ths we

was married I tuk her to see all the nigger shows that cum along, but she didn’t seem to be a woman of natural good inflamation bout things.| J Ignorant do you mean ?

B ut mine did. She longe<Pfor the unfathomable, unompreheonbi^ but she didn’t never'talk pleapant to. me.

How did you happen to' marry such a women ? , ..

I ’ll tell ye. I t were a meanness on my part, I oWmup. I waft engaged to just theidoeiti ' gal ontoMaretons jgpaL Ajfctlrol, Ojdjjafce# for ‘ er w intersw orktiiat MiUeville;;: twenty,* joules:,away.:'' Theboysangals

So I went there afoot an alone, an when time came for the frolic to break up, L pretend­ed I’d left my hoss hitched into the barn­yard and he’d escaped somehow. So they believed it an when I’d got em all scattered over the pastures, au up and down the road for a mile with lanterns huntin for that hoss I jest slipped off and went right to my twenty mile off winter job. If t’adent a been for that fool joke, my whole life might, er been different, for I should not have gone so soon to Milleville an Polly an I might er fixed things so’s the misfortun a missed me. Soon as I’d got to Milleville I went to singin school the fust night an there met she that’s been my trouble an made my life er history. There I seen Betsy and I thought I would show the Milleville boys that I was smart as any of em so I walked with Betsy home that nite. She was a big gal and I a little man so folks said we looked like a pumpkin an a ear of com stood up side of each tother, but it seemed to me all the smarter to be goin with er big gal.

She ast me to come agin an I went ofen jest for fan, alius intendin to marry my fust love tn Marston Hill.

An rig h t here-let m e say tu ye young man, don’t never throw er bait io er fish unless you want him to bite.

I-was dum bfounded. W hat should I do. T hen I concluded th a t there w an’t no h e e dof my doin nothin. I thought to myself,now I won’t g it m arried a t a ll fo r som etim e yit, so I m ay as well have fu n till m y job is done here an then next year I’ll go back to M arston HiH a n m arry Polly.

So the thing went on, an Betsy made her quilts an got her things all ready tu be married fore I see any way or any need to get out of the scrape. The fust that waked me up was, I found that our intentions of marriage was published, for in them days this had tu be done fourteen days afore mar­riage could take place.

I was dumbfounded again an started right off as soon as I heard on it tu see Betsy an find out how it come about. I was mad. But Betsy looked so tickled when I got there that the mad kinder left me. <

She owned up that bein all ready /to git married she had the publishment made as a son; o greeable sprise tu me.

Betsy, but I’d as soon av thought of marry­ing Gen. Jackson.

Here he paused, filled his tumbler with rum and drank it off and then continued.

I wouldn’t marry anybody, even my own grandmother agin under the same circum­stances.

To this self evident proposition I assented and he went on*:

What du you spose I did ?I can’t tell, I said.I up and married her.You were a bad man sir. |I know it. A n if tlie fool k ille r had come

along just then he would have made a clean sweep of both of us to once.

A nd was Polly depending bn m arry ing you all this time ?

Sartin, she was.W hat becam e of h e r ?She died of er broken heart about one

year after it. Her last days was peace.How did you first disagree with Betsy ? Well sir, she want funny. Kittens is

more funnier than elephants. Now I like er kitten. I ’m lively, - I like company. She was filled with er yearning to clean house all weathers. She tried to make me put on er red shirt right inter the middle of the week.

Well, what else ?I had put away keerfuliy a bag full of eggs

tu buy my rum and terbacker with what do you thiiik she did ?

Don’t know.Wall sir, she found em, an went an fooled

em all off fur flour an codfish. I had tu go tu work cuttia cord wood then to git the rum. She claimed that the eggs was hern cos she’d brought the hens into the fami­ly*

What next ?She wanted some of my cord wood an

actually went an sold a cord o f it tn git er red petticoat when she might er jest sewed er strip of red flannel round the inside bot­tom of her skirt &a nobody’d known but she had a bran new red underskirt. Money was. the missinlink to our cabin. If I ’d had that an gin it tn her twould been suitin her better.

Then you were poor ?Yes, Hr; bht I could almost support my­

self afore I married4 an I thought er wife ought to. help some. So I spected to get a- long with less work by marrying.~ Could she tnore than support herself by her own exertions ?

Sartin, an she might help me. I ’m a man of spent an I would a left her only by stavin 1 1lad a chauce to say unagreeable things tuhdx. I' I wished'.ifc Was a fashion, to sell w ives I’d .a sold mine for nothin and taken my pay onto insttdlment .pla

Go on.Tjijen I told the minister that I had, the

wust wife inter th* world.What did the minister reply ?He said right tu my face that twas owm

tu her havin the wust husban in the world. An then he went on a moralizin bout my drinkin en lazy in, a sh e called it.

What did you then do ?I went right home and tole Betsy like a

fool as I alius was what the minister’d saidon she said that was the truth^&lid then she said more too.

What more ?She said she had supported me ever since

we was married,j an then she picked up the tongs and swung, em round her head an says she: —Now you old Bill Torry, if you don’tjest git outer this hoi^se in a second I'll jest beat your worthless brains out, that is, if you’ve got any.

Her eyes looked wicked an she meant business I knowed jb e would strike, for she had already spanked me with a shingle, and as she was twice as big as me, an I knew by experience she could lick me quickern a cat’ll wmjj^her eye, an I didn’t want to have no trouble ; an I ’m a sensi­tive man, I jest up an refused to stay with her another minit, an I never did.

He had failed somewhere- in study or de­po rtm en t, I canno t rem em ber w hich—and his teacher to ld him he m ust stay a fte rschool. When the other scholars were dis­m issed John seized a* m om ent when the teacher’s back was turned, and slid out of the door. She called after him to come back, but he pretended not to hear, and ran away. It was a c m brick, he thought, and he bragged over ilt a aiMci o the Other boys ; but he did not go to scho$Rhe next day, nor the next. did not feek-Yke it, he said.

At last he made his Appearance again, but instead of the punishment he expected, his teacher, who wasgivinfe out the subjects for essays that day, only tpld him to 4 4 write" a composition about obw ience.'’ John took her meaning at once, stud sat scratching his head and puzzling ovm his composition a- bout half a day. Finally he handed in the following, which is a a factual copy of his composition : —

“ When.-won tells w et to do a thing and he does it, it is called obeying, and when won tells won to do a thingpad he don’t do it, it is called disobeying^ And when a man or woman tells a boy oira girl to do a thing and he don’t do it, it j l ’ palled disobeying,n ’ f * 7 i r °and obeying, andwhen a t e a c h h r t e l l s a ’%py to do a thing and he don’t do,it, ifc k» -called disobeying. The boy’s name wasJohn, and he did not obey his teacher, and when she called him back he did hear her, and he will never do it again.”

The teacher was satisfied.

paid a collegian $10 for providing “ mo­nohippie aggregation’’ as a properly im pressive tiile for h issh o w , and then died of a broken heart at the end of the season: when he learned the true m eaning thereof, is a story which seems likely to enjoy continued popularity in the follow ing form: “A Boston man bad just been show ing all the sights of that charm ing city to a N ew Yorkei. •And now,’ said he. *tell m e honestly, is not this city thoroughly unique?’ •Yes, indeed, was the reply, *unus one, equus. horse.”

W ith this may be compared the re­mark of the Sophomore at examination tim e that 44if he should lose his pony’ he would lose his equilibrium; be­cause,” as hu explained to an awe-stricken Freshman, ‘the word comes from equus and librum. and therefore signifies a horse of books.”

Perhaps it was this same Freshman who, in struggling with an ode of Hor­ace, said: **Ca?,e— Mcecenas—eques;Mcecenas, take care of your horse:” and was favored with the remark: “ Oh no, Mr. C., you pay too much attention to the horse,”

It was another Freshman to whom the instructor said: “You seem to be evolving tiie translation from your in­ner consciousness;” and who responded: “ W ell, professor, I read last evening that *by faith Enoch was translated,* and I thought I would try _ it on H orace.”

••Don’t; you think it would have been necessary to m elt her first?” was the perhaps pardonable inquiry of the pro­fessor when a heedless youth twistedth e tex t io sa y : “ And. th e y p ou red A g­rip p in a in to the sea. ”

The most dreadful disaster that has occur­red on the Hudson River Railroad fpr along time, happened on the ’Western down ex­press on Friday evening. This train was a very long one, and crowded with membersof the legislature* Some of these were shila- rious, and somebody palled the cord o f the air-brake, and the train was brought to a standstill, ina cut near Spnyten Duyvil to ascertain the cause and pump the air out. of the brakes. Geo. Melius, the rear brakeman started’ back with a red and white lantern, but it is charged he did not go. tor enough. In a few minutes the Tarrytown Special came dashing up. The - engineer saw to6 lights of the rear coach of the train in front, and blew his whistle and put on the air­brakes, but without avail, and ’ the locomo­tive went plunging into the rear palace, car, Idlewild, splitting it apart, and telescoping it upon the Empire.

The cars were in flames almost immedi­ately, the lamps being wrenched from their fastenings, and the stoves broken up, the oil and coals being scattered upon the debris Senato r Wagner had just stepped from the Empire to the Idlewild, and was caught by the timbers and burned to death, his forin when recovered being terribly mangled. If all his millions had been poured out upon the spot, it could not have saved him ; it was not in the power of man to do it.

The Horse That Oounts.A certain horse in Sayreville for

tw enty years has been a cart-horse in a brick-yard, and the habit of go in g through a certain round of duties day after day for e ight months in the year has enabled him to do things which seem to indicate the possesssion of m ental faculties sim ilar to som e of those possessed by tbe human race. It is an old saying am ong farmers that crows cannot count more than three, but this horse has the ability to count sixty-five. H is routine of labor is to cart sixty-five loads o f clay from the pit to the spot where the clay is m ixed 01* ground, and then to go for a load of coal-dust; and now, without anv th ing being said or done to indicate the fact to him, when he has deposited his sixty-fifth load, he turns away from the clay p it and goes to the dock for a load of the dust. This is not his only peculiarity, for, w hen he goes to the pit, he backs' the cartj up to the right place, and w ill take only what he conceives to be his proper load. If more is put bn, he backs and kicks ami rattles tiie cart about until the load is reduced to w hat he considers a proper quantity. H aving such [intellectual ca­pacity, it is not surprising to learn that he w ill not be driven. jAs soon as the lines are touched he becom es fractious and unm anageable, but a gentle expla­nation of w hat is required of him usu­ally has the desired effect. It is un­necessary to add that such au intel­lectual horse w ill do no ’work after the w histle for dinner or supper sounds.

Governor’s message.

Gov. Cornell’s message is characteristic of him, being plain, practical, and full of com­mon sense. It conveys the gratifying fact that the tax of the State has been reduced more than one third from last year’s, and the prospect is presented of a still further reduction. This, however, depends upon our legislators, who may squander-enough money to raise (he rate of taxation or di­minish the sinkifig fund.

The debt of the State is only six and a half millions, a mere bagatelle ; and the con­dition of the treasury in such that the Legis­lature might well relieve the burdens of the

^eouiHlesPteuil ta who jfrjr <ww ed burdens to the extent of borrowing mon­ey for them at a low rate to pay off debts running at a high rate. -

The attendance of children at the public schools has diminished. The Governor looks around fora reason, and finds it in the in­creased calls for labor. It is gratifying in one respect, in so far as it indicates increas­ed prosperity in business circles. But it is to be regretted that the necessities of our citizens are such that they must withdrawl their children from the public schools,where they were receiving the instruction soessential to them as the citizens Of the*fu tu r e . k

The Governor indirectly puts in a defence of his reduction of the u.ilitia by the state­ment that the usefulness of the Nationa Guard does not depend so much on the num­ber of men enrolled as on the thorough dis­cipline of the several commands. It is to be hoped the Governor’s plan will prove successful, for the militia are a great bur­den.
