A correspondent sends us the following amusing repartee. Pat must have been a know nothing. For the Gazette. The following amusing instance of Iri>h wit on the part of a Roman Catholic milk man in foiling the attempts of a priest to make him give up reading lite Bible, was related by Dr. Howling in an address. On reaching the milkman's humble cabin in the county of Kerry, the priest thus addressed him: ' Why, my good fellow, 1 am informed that you are in the habit of reading the Bible—is my iutormation cor rect V 'Sure, an it is true,plaseyourriverence, an a fine book it is too.' ' But you know,' said the priest, 1 that it is very wrong for an ignorant man like you to read the scriptures.' i Ah,' replied Pat, ' but you must be af ther provin that same before I'll eousint to lave off.' • That I will do from the book itself. — Now turn to 1 Peter, xxii: • AN new bom babes, de-ire tie .-dneere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. Now you are only a babe, anu are therefore wrong to read the Scriptures yourself. Vou are told to ' desire the ,-incere milk of the word,' and one who understands what flic 'sin cere milk* is must give it you and tend you.' Pat listened attentively to the priest's authoritative address, but uo way nl a loss, replied : • But be aisy.yom riverence, while 1 teil von. A little time a re, wl'/n I was took ill, i got a man to ruiik my e ws, and what do you think ho did? Why instead of givin me the rale milk, he chated me by puttiii wather intuit; and if you get rny Bible, perhaps you may in; a/ther vrv in me that same. No, no. I'll kape my cow, and miik her myself, and then 1 shall get the sincere milk, and not a c I might fnun you, mixed with wather.' 'J be priest, thus finding him.-elf defeat ed, and desirous that the mischief should spread no farther, said in a conciliatory tone. 'Well, Piit, I see you are a little wiser than 1 thought you : and as you are not tjuiie a babe, you may hep your Bible, but don't lend if. or read it to your neigh bors.' Pat, eyeing his admonit-.r very seriouslv, and eunningly withal, replied, * Sure ennf. your rivirenee. while 1 have a row and can give a little milk to my poor neighbors who have none, it is my duty f > do s > as a Phris i firm, and savin your rivirenee, 1 will.' The priest, thinking the milkman a tough ' customer, gave up the argument and walk ! Ed off abashed. THE WINTER. The old belief that just about the same quantity of snow falls every year, only that its distribution is considerably varied, would seem to be confirmed by the facts of this winter. On the northern part of this con tinent, east of the Rocky Mountain chain, including the Ccnadas, the fall of snow has been unusually light. But we observe from our European papers that the season, in the countries bordering on the Mediter ranean Sea, is remarkable for quite the op posite reason. Thus it is said that the cold h;Ls been such in Italy that for the first time in (he present century the river Po Has been frozen over at Ferrara, admit ting for a long period the constant passage of a man and beast. A dispatch from Constantinople, dated Feb. 3, says : "Snow has fallen, until yesterday, without any in terruption for fifteen days. There has not been a winter of equal severity for more than twenty years. The snow has extend ed to Smyrna arid the adjacent district of Asia Minor, and even the Greek islands are clothed in white—an appearance most unusual and remarkable.'' Other accounts from Asia Minor describe snow storms, in one of which a Greek monastery was buried, and the live monki had to be excavated by the Turks. At Malta the snow, which had not fallen since the Russian campaign of 181*2, was some feet high, and accompanied with hail and tempests. The navigation with Odessa "s entirely closed, while the disasters in the j Black Sfcft, Sea cf Marmora, and in the | Dardanelles, have been Very numerous, al i though they have bceu mostly confined tc THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1858. the native craft. The sufferings of the poor on the land have been dreadful. a>- their dwellings, not constructed for such casualties, have licon broken down by the snow, and their ordinary clothing has otter ed no protection from the unusual cold. A WIFE COMPRESSED INTO A I RING. A certain Russian noble, who lately vis- 1 itod Paris, was noticed to he constantly ; plunged in deep sadness. He were on his 1 finger a very remarkable ring, large enough j for a bracelet, and extended over his hand j like a buckler for the ring finger. It was ' of a greenish color, and was traversed by i red veins. It attracted the attention of I everybody, hut no one was hold enough to interrogate (lie i,ij tcnous stranger, until one day a lady, meeting him in a public i parlor, ventured to say, " You wear a very handsome ring." The Russian made a i movement as though he would conceal his j hand, but that feeling gave way to a desire j to unburden himself. "It is not a ring," i lie answered, " but a sepulchre !" A shud- ! der passed through the whole company.— i " This jewel, madam," he continued, "is i my wife. 1 Lad the mi,-fortune to lose her some years since, in Russia. She was an j Italian, and dreaded the icy hod which j awaited her after this life. I carried her ' remans to Germany, where I was acquaint- i ed with a celebrated chemist, whom I di- i rected to make of the body a solid sub- j stance, which I could always carry about i me. Eight days afterward he sent for me i and showed me the empty coffin, a horrid i collection of instruments and alembics.— ! Th's jewel was lying on a table. lie bad ; through means of some corrosive substan- ! ces and powerful pressure reduced and ; compressed that which was my wife, into this jewel, which .-hall never more leave i me." 1 his burial by chemistry is an improve- i rueut upon the process of urination lately j proposed by the French papers. Should it become popular a widow may hereafter ; have her husband made into a bracelet with a chain attached to remind her of the liy- ; ineneal bond; a husband will have his wife I done into a pin, and certain academicians | —old fogies—wo know would make very ' good coat buttons.—A". Y. Tribune. AN INCIDENT. A nice little •• -cene ' took place at the penitentiary, on .Saturday. A lew tears j since there was sent to that institution from j Hamilton county, for a long term of years, | on the charge of burglary, an old l'oiish I exile: an old man who had fought bravely ' for h'.; country and liberty. In this land 1 of strangers, and with no friends, the old j man had never for a moment entertained { the idea of release, and patiently was toil- ! iiig through his weary month®. Some facts ' have recently Coiuc to light, as 1 hear the rumor, showing that the oii man was not '■ guilty of the crime charged upon him. At any rate, the Governor decided upon his pardon. And Saturday afternoon, Gov ' Chase's, daughter, a fair noble ghl of sev enteen summers, takes the pardon and ' makes her way to the prison. Without inti' ating her mission, she desired the! warden to ask the obi Ptdander, whose name 1 have now forgotten, to come to the sitting room. The old man, hi- head white with the accumulated burden of years and trouble, v.as not long In answering the summons. The pardon was put in his trembling hand! Oh! then the joy. It was all so unexpected—and came through such hands!

A qleer'law slit. The somewhat novel suit of Mrs. Estelle Alexandrie vs. H. shiloy, was decided l y Judge Egleston yesterday. Mrs. A., it appears, owed Saloy 8700, for which she gave her note, secured by a mortgage on tour slaves, and there was a special agree ment between thera that she was to be no tified when the note became due. The note matured on the loth ult., and was protested, no notice being giv *n to the drawer, and immediately thereafter Saloy instituted suit against Mrs. A., with a vic-w of proceeding to the seizure and sale of the four slave.- 1 , he claiming, besides the amount of the note, 870 as his attorney's fee. As soon as Mrs. A. found this out, she deposited the amount of the note, with 83 additional, as the cost of protest, and refused to pay the 870, as the suit against her, she contended, was malicious, and only instituted for the purpose of annoying her, and forcing her to pay costs and this un necessary attorney's fee. Thereupon she instituted a counter suit, praying that Sa- Iqy and tho sheriff be enjoined from pro ceeding with tho seizure and sale of the slaves: that the claim of 870 for counsel's foes be declared illegal, and that Saloy be condemned to pay her <SbOO as damages for his malicious uctiou. After a full hearing, the Court sustained the injunction, and gave judgment against Saloy and in favor of Mrs. A. for SIOO as damages, together with 875 as her counsel's fees, and cost of Court, etc. — New Orleans Picayune.

For some mis conduct, the master put a boy for punishment into the dead house. At that time there was a corpse in the ' dead ward,' in a coffin. The i !my took the corpse out of the coffin, dressed j it in his own clothes, propped it up against j the wall, and then himself g"t into the coffin, ! laid down and covered hiras"lf over. In the j course of a short time tho master <a:ne, look ed in at the door, and saw, as io thought, a | sulkv lad standing against the wall. 'Now,' i said the master, * do you want any supper?' There was no answer. The question was re j peated with the same result. The hoy looked out from the coffin and said, 'lf ho won't have 1 will.' The master fled under terror, and roceiied such a shock that it is said he has since died from the effects. Unnatural Murder. —A horrible tragedy occurred on Saturday last in Broad Creek Hundred, near Little Hill Church, which re suited in the death of a child. A negro wo man. by the name f Purnal, on the day above mentioned left home with the view of attending a vendue, in order to sell liquor. She left her family of six children at home, the oldest of which was only S years old.— When the mother returned she missed one of her children. Having observed marks of blood upon the floor, she was led to inquire ihe whereabouts of the child. The children refused to teil. A search was then instituted, and the child found covered over with brush, at some distance from the house. The head was cut off, as was one of its arms. The two oldest children made a confession. They said that the oldest took an axo and cut the child's head off, and then made one of the other children cut the arm off. They refused to tell what they had done with tbo arm, but it wis subsequently fund concealed in the cup- ! board.— Delaware Messenger. Buried A'ivc. —The llev.

The other minister being in a hurry to get to the meeting iu season had him bur ied the next day. On his return from meet ing he left word at Oxford that their minister was dead and buried. His friends went im mediately to get his remains and bring them to Oxford, when to their great sorrow they discovered that he bad been buried alive.— The cover of the coffin was split, and his shroud was completely torn off and turned nearly on his fa.ee. He was a bachelor, and a vorv worthy man. His dreadful death is much lamented.— Erie City paper.
