I= A Stubborn Stripling. - "Once uporra time," a big, strappin', awk ward youth, fresh &tan Vermont, entered the Danmer academy at 13N-field, Ma•s., for a ht tle share of erudition, which is doled out at this Temple of Minerva at e.,,onotnical prices. At that time—we know not how it is at pres ent—the boys and girls were kept in one apartment, only the middle aisle separating them. One day, this Vermont stripling, -who had just been helping one of the girls through a bard sum—he was cute on cypher in;—thought, it not more than fair that he should take toll for his valuable services ; tte, cordiugly he threw his stalwart area around the rosy damsel and gave her a sly but mus ing - smack, which s'tartied the whole assembly. "Jedediah Tower, come up here l"! roared out the preceptor. • The delinquent appeared, his face glowing with IlusheA like a red-hot warming -pan„ and looking as silly as a ninny. "llold out your hand, sir?" said the pedagogue. "l'?) teach you flat()act in this institution." The huge paw was extended in a horizun t•it line toward the instructor, who surveyed its broad surface with a mathematical eye,— lculating how many stroke:; of/his small fer ule it would take to cover the large number of s(oare inches it contained. "dedediah," at length he said, "this is the first time that you have been called up ,for any delinquency; now, sir, if you will say that you are sorry•furwhat you have done, I will let you off this time without punish- rnelit.' "Sorry," exclaimed the yoUngster, striking an attitude of pride and-indignation ; "sor ry.' So sit! .1 am not. And I will do jest a , A -aitk,.ef I hey a chance.

Rattle and moccasin siMkes are too numerous to shake a stick at. The tarantula is a plea sant institution to get into a quarrel with.

If he should otter you at night you will have ea Use to reale:ldler him for months to come, as the wound is of a particularly poisonous nature and iv very difficult to heal. The stinging livard is a lessor evil, the sensation of its wound being likened to the aoplical hut of a red hot iron to the person ; but one is too thankful to escape with life, to consider these lesser evils annoyances.

In yariahly accommodating and polite, ho is par ticularly attentive to the ladies; and always manages to make himself a favorite with those of the fair sex who accompany the trains un der his. direction. The 13uffitlo Republic Te- Imes the folk wing anecdote of what happen ed to Jim, because he didn't Inow a male front e, female baby: A. short time since, when a train under his direction was on its way east from Utica, one of those interesting incidents, occurred board the train, which inlti to the visible num- of passenger , , but scarcely ever increases the profits of the trip. Ward, as soon a s he di.:eavered the condition of the lady, hustled about and with the traits running fin ty miles an hour, fixed up a portion of the express car, and hail her conveyed thereto. A physician by the name of Beecher was on the train. Pis services were immediately put in reguNtion, and in a short time Ward had the pleasure of announcing to his anxious passengers, that mother and lathe were "doing as well as could be exlmeted Itioier the ci rod m d nem" The mother was 'a poor woman, and as soon as it became known, Ward went around with a kat, and in a short time a handsome purse was collected, and Jim, with his countenance absolutely filtering off happiness, took it in to the mother. After he re-appeared the pas sengers prolmsed that the child should he iittwo/. Xo sooner said than done. Jim went in and got the baby,And with the consent of its delighted mother brought it out, when it was proposed that it should be named "4 antes Ward" after Jim, and "Beecher" after the physician who had professionally attended the mother. It was adopted by acclamation, alibi amid a general shout of approbation the babe was named "James Ward Beeeher ." Jim, with a smile Of ill-concealed delight, was lugging off his little namesake, when some of the ladies yegnested to see the .‘little lathy." It was passed from hand to hand among the ladies, all admiring the little bundle, but at the same time a general dispo sition to smile and stuff handkerchiefs in their mouths, became manifest among the women. Jim wondered, hut wondered in vain, what this subdued laughter meant, until the babe was handed to an old lair.• Sho , had nut had it more than a Minute when she' exclaimed: "Law, Suz !" - • "Well; what's the matter," said Jim, fear- Call v. . 11 - Ay ie.v' a (mi."'

John W. 'Geary to the people of Kansas, on surrendering the office Of 'Governor of that Territory. He sets out by saying that his resignation is voluntary, and - that the office was accepted at the sacrifice of the endearments of home. The condition of the territory on his arrival there is then set forth as gloomy and desolate in the ex treme, all law and justice being set at (fellatio', and outrage and violence reigning undismay ed urn every hand.-110 then says : "I at onee saw what was needed, and with ont hesitating gave myself to the work. Yor SIX MinltllN I have labored with unceasing industry. The accustomed and needed hours for sleep have been employed in the public sorvice. ! Night and day have official duties demanded unremitting attention. I havo had no proper leisure moments for rest or recrea tion. My health has failed under the pres sure. or is this all ;to lay own private purse, without assurance of reimbursement, have 1 resorted, in every emergency, for the requi:pd funds. Whether these arduous stir v ices and willing sacrifices have been beneficial to Kansas and my countri you are abundant ty quali fi ed to determine. ' After speaking of the violence with which his actions have been assailed, and his own consciousness, of his' motives, he pro coeds In parting with .you I can do no less than ' , dee you a few words of kind advice, and eve n , . of . friendly warning. You are well aware that most of the troubles which lately agitat ed the Territory were oacanioned by men who had no especial interest in its welfare. Many of - them were not even residents; whilst it us quite evident that others were influenced al together' in the part they took iu the disturb-_ epees by meremittry,or ether personal consid erations. The groat body of the actual eiti ems are conservative, law-abiding, peace-lov ing Men, disposed rather to make sacrifices for coneiliothin and consequent peace, than to insist for their entire rights shoal the gen eral geed thereby be caused to suffer. Some of them under the influence of the prevailing excitement and -misguided opinions, were led to the commission of grievous mistakes, but not with the deliberate intention of doing wroeg. A very few tnen resolved on mischief may keep in a state of unhealthy. excitement and involve in fearful ?strife an entire community. This was demonstrated during the civil coin motions with which the territory was convul sed. While the people generally were anx ious to pursue their peiteeful callings, small emnbinations of crafty,- scheming awl design ing men succeeded, front purely selfish mo tives, in bringing upon them a series of most lamentable arch destructive difficulties. - Nor are they satisfied with the mischief already (ham. They never desired that the present peace should be effected ; nor do they intend that it shall continue, if they have the power, to prevent it. In the eintstant croaking of disaffected individuals in various sections, you hoar only the ettpressions of evil desires and ititentious.Wateb, then, with a speciid, jealous said suspicious eye those who are con tioatilly indulging surmises of renewed hoe tilitic-z. They are notthe friends of Kansas, and there is reason to fear that some of them arc not only the enemies of this territory, bet of the riliee itself. Its dissolution is their ardent wish, and Kansas bee been selected as a fit place to county - ewe the accomplishment of a most .ftelarions design. The scheme has; tins far been 'friistrated ; but it has not been abandoend. You are intrusted mot only with the guardianship of this territory, but the )ele,eo of the Vnion, which depends upon you in a greater degree than you may at present' suppose. Yen should. therefore, frown down every efflirt to fonemt discord, and especially to ar ray settlers fieen' different sections of the' Union in hostility teetinst each other.

The torch of the incendiary has peen extinguished, and the cabins which fry it were destroyed have been replaced with more substantial buildings. !levies of banditti no longer lie in wait in every ravine for plunder and assassination. Invasions of hostile armies have ceased, and infuriated partizans, living in our midst, have emehatically turned their swords into plough shares and their spears into pruning-hooks. Laborers are everywhere at work—farms un- e l dergoing rapid improvetnent—merchant , eare driving a thriving trade—the merchanies pur suing with profit their various occupations. I Realestate, in town and country, has increas ed in value almost without precedent. until in some places it is commanding prices that nev er have been anticipated.
