NEGLIGENCE.—A man draw a note promising to pay one hundred dollars. He used tbe printed form, and did not close tip tha blank devoted to dollars, and after pasting it as negotiable paper somebody inserted "and fifty" after tbe one hun dred and before tbe printed word dollars. The note, thus altered, got into tba hands of an innocent party, who presented it to the drawer, and tbe Supreme Court decid ed tbat the maker of the note was liable for its face, because through negligence be did not draw a line between tbe written word "hundred" and the printed word "dollars." Any testimony that tbe draw er might offer to establish the lact that he gave tbe note for ne hundred must go for nothing, as "there was nothing on the face of tbe note to show tbat it bad been alter ed." Evidence of the alteration on the face of the note would have changed the case. Let this be a lesson to all drawers of promissory notes. No one can ba too icareful in such matters.

The Manor and Earlystown Sunday schools held another "union concert," at tbe former place, on Sunday last, and, if a crowded house is any criterion of the pep ularity of these concerts, then, surely, tbe one in question was a decided success.

London, Fab. 24. —A correspondent of lha London Newt, in a letter to that paper descriptive of the Indian faiuina. says: "The scarcity spreads over a wide track along the foot of the Himalaya* bounda ries of Nepaul, it retching from Oude to near Darjaeling, remote district* removed from the railroad* and other meant of communication and difficult at approach. Lord Northbrook informs me that the most serious distress is threatened in fif teen districts *in addition to the Texas, comprising a total population of 2f1,U00,- 000 "This i* not all. Twelve other districts, with 14,UH0,00D people, are threatened, and are described as almost entirely without roads and water. The coolies and labor er* feel lha pinch most, owing to the total •uspention of work in the rice fields. The government contemplated, prior to the outbreak of distress certain public works. First, irrigating canals; secondly, tba Northern Bengal railroad ; and lastly, the embankment of the Gunduck river. In lb* first named 32,000 laborer* have been employed. Their wage* were paid, and tauney exchanged for food at the adjacent government store. Lord Northbrook eayt the government has arratigad for sufficient food till May. with larga reserve* t# meet any contingency. "The calculations are based on former famines, but it seems doubtful whether tliey will prove adequate, owing to the fact that in previous famines llarge num ber* died without asking .for relief. The district at present i* umre remote, and transporlion it growing difficult for want of food for tba cattle." The rorn-spond nt concludes a* follows* "From what 1 have teen since my arrival in Indie I be lieve : First, that neither tbe government or people can tell the precise actual posi tion, nor prognosticate the future. Second ly, the government is most fully alive in its responsibility, and measures have been taken to fully cop* with the difficulties. Thirdly the absence of railroads in tbe re mote district* i* mostly dreaded, a* the gevernment i* thus without mean* for the avoidance of grave obstacles." THE WICHITA TRAGEDY.

The successful It us*. • [From the i>tl City Derrick ) ; | The usual quiet neighberbood of Deck- | eFs Run, a settlement four or Ave miles i back from Coc hrsiiton, last week proved the scene of an riciting occurrence which created a deep aenfmliou throughout tbe , district. About nine o'clock on Saturday ( morning a ycUQg boy of sisteen year, named Hallebaugb, wbo bad for some! ' lime previous eihibited symptoms of in sanity, suddenly conceived the idea that bis friends intended to kilt bun, end rushed 1 from the house tewerd a brush at a little ' distance. His grandfather and uncle vain- 1 ly pursued the poor fellow. He reached ' the woods, aed with tha energy of frentied ' Jespair began climbing a Urge poplar tree. ' In e lew moments be reached the topmost '* branches, where be looked down from tbe, 1 duty height of seventy feet upon bis baf fled pursuers. The weather was bitterly > cold; tbe fugitive bad neither coat nor , mittens, bit clothing being rather scanty , at beat. How to extricate him from bis., perilous situation quickly became e per- 11 p'.-s i.g question. At length hi* relative* determined to make an effort to bring tba demented youth talely to the ground, end a couple of men ascended the tree fur that purpoee. But the frightened boy frustrated tins scheme by climbing still higher and crawl ing out almost to tbe end of a frail-looking limb, that swayed and ber.t ai.Jer it* un accustomed burden. Front this danger ous alevelien he defied all further attempts at affecting a reecoe. threatening to throw himself headlong upon tba eaitb if not let alone. By IbU time many of tho neigh bors had galborod ; however, none could suggest any plan of relief that might hope for a successful issue. Hour* passed away without changing the scene or terminating the organising sus pense of the assembled scores. Hi* coat was taken up the tree and left at near lha unfortunata boy at possible, lie finally decen Jed far enough to clutch the garment, put it on, and again resumed his position en the fragile branch. To the horrified spectators it teemed as if the limb must break every instant, in which case nr frantic yell, aprang upon* limb of the maple, ran to the trunk with the apeed and agillily of a squirrel, and in a few brief aeconda had climbed higher than before, llere wai an unlooked-for! circumatance, night wax near at hand, and hope almost died eat in each boaotn. The moon rote clear and bright and beautiful, the air wat crisp and the night; bitterly sharp M idnight rami on apace, and ttill the distracted youth remained] among the higlieal brattchet of the leaflet*: tree. Vainly the crowd implore.! him to come down and receive food and alieltar. lie continued deaf to the entreaty, laugh ing with all the glee of a maniac at their earneat appeals. A happy thought event ualiy loomed up, which no lime v/tia loat in putting into practice. The throng dis persed with the exception of a total! lum ber of men who terreted thamaelvea be hind tree* and log* to be in readineaa for whatever emergency might demand their assistance. Then a yeung playmate of the craxy boy, to whom hn had always been much attached, atood at the fool of the tree, presenting dishct of food, and begged him te come down and gel something to eat. Thia measure finally succeeded ; the hoy yielded to the temptation, and in a lit tle while once more stood upnu the ground, tome of the men quietly stepped from their concealment, secured and rarriej him home. The poor fellow'* html* and face and feet were badly fror.en a* the result ot hit fearful exposure for ovei fifteen hours during the rigor* of the coldest day and night of the season. The joy of the friend* denouement may he imagined. Every at tention wa* paid the poor sufferer that at fectiou could devise, and he la progressing favorably, theugh hit intellect it yet a* clouded as before he underwent the dread ful experience of the eventful Saturday, which none who participated in the excit ing scene will he likely for man years to forget WOMBV'B WAK oar WHUKBT.

HOW THE BULLFINCH IS TAUGHT TO 81 NO. Hoys and girls are not the only little folks who attend singing classes, as you! shall know when yeu hear about the pip ing bullfinch. In shape and sice this bullfinch is some-; what like the sparrows in our city parks, ! but he has a very different head. The sparrow, you know, has a trim, quick lit tle pale of hi* own. Nut so the bullfinch. //>s is a clumsv affair—in fact, he has a sort of "bull" bead and neck ; so, you see, he is well named Besides, his body is nearly us hi ark as a coal, ana his throat i* as red as if the coal wero on fire. He is not naturally a singer, nor is be half s clever as eur American mocking bird. In fact, he seems rather stupid, but he is will ing to learu ; and so it happens that if vuu persevere long enough you can loach him to sing a tune The country people of Germany have found this out. There the peasants take grout delight in training bullfinches. Their pupils, net being very bright, as 1 said before, are stupidly hopping about their cages, when suddenly they hear a tune played upon a violin. They prick up tlifir ear*.—or would doao if they could, —and begin to listen, quite unconscious that that very same violin ha* been playing that very same tune for about a week without their noticing it. But it is something to catch their attention. Day after day, for months, the patient teacher goes over and over tbo same luno to the listening birds until human listeners begin to wonder which will gel cra/.y first, the bullfinch or the player. But by and by the birds begiu to pick up the air, piping the simple parts at first, and taking up note after note until, at last, they know the whole thing by heart. Sometimes a rustic tuther spends half his time all winter teaching one little patient bird, and thechildren look on with the greatest interest. Or a boy will under take tho task, and when he at last suc ceeds, his listers look upon him as the most wonderful fellow in tho world; and they cry in real earnest when the wonder ful oov carries his pupil to town to be sold ; for sold these bullfinches are sure to be a soon as they are taught, or else exhibited by their owners as street singers. Some times bird-teachers are kuown far and wide for their skill aud success; and at Freiburg, in linden, and small villages on the outskirts of the Block Forest, bullfinch (raining U practiced as a regular business.
