excellent mu'sio te tbe great delight of all
who beard it. This band has made marked
improvement during the past lew months,

Tun members lake especial pains to become
proScient in their respective part?, and
this pains-taking is made evident by the
proficiency which the band bus attained

An Ingenious improvement on the velori

means of which the rider can turn bis vehi

ranged that riding is unattended with the
j ilting annoyance, now inevitable exaept on
a smoother surface. Tbe elasticity given
in the wheels Is such as not to Impedd but
rather help the motion of the velocipede
in its progress on the streol, whilo the rider
is enabled to make crossings nnd run over

himself a wife at Green Bay, and wishing
to keep up with tbe customs of tbe day, and
as he boasted cot of a large amount of Oltby

bis own hook, and accordingly fitted up
bandsfed, and placed thereon bis fair bride
and bis worldly goods, and started on tbe
excursion. lie first went to Menasba, then
crossed the lake to Stockbridge, made
voyage to Lblltoa aud thence back to
Stockbridge again, drawing bis fair burden
all the time, up bill and down, over roads
both good and bad, with a commendable
spirit or energy and prrseveraBce, living
upon what they eould pick up, and lodging
wberobest they could. When last heard
from they bad started for Minnesota, where
tbey propose to settle on a homestead. We
sincerely hope tbey will reach tboir desti
nation in safety, and tbat their bridal trip

A eountry landlord, wishing to give an
elegant entertainment at bis house, sent to
a neighboring city for two dozen boxes of
sardines, which be was informed were tbe
chlel delicacy in the market. His chirotr-
rapby. however, was so bad as to make tbe
order read, "two dozen boxes syringes."
Tbe oight of tbe party came, and as supper
time drew near, the landlord looked anxious
ly down tbe street for tbe sppearanoe of the
tags which was to bring tbe principal dish
on tbe bill. At last it arrived, and with
a package for tbe expectant landlord. Di
rectly there was a great outcry, and a. sound
of cursing in tbe bar room. The entire
party rushed In to see what was the matter,
and there stood Beniface puffing and blow
ing with rage. "See here t I sent to Du
buque for two dozen boxes of sardine for
supper to-night, and the cuesol fools sent
twenty-three boxes of them pewter squirt-
guns, and says that's all there wero in tbe
market." -t

Voi.TAim's Death Bed. Tho United

Schuyler, it is announced, has discovered
among the Russian archives, a cotemporary
account of the occurrences at the death of
Voltaire. The paper was written by Prinoe
Ivnn Baiiantinsky. the Russian Ambassador
at Paris, and transmitted to tbe Empress
Catharine II. Tbe writer says tbat knowiog
the great interest that the Empress took In
Voltaire, bo had tbe account prepared by a
person who was well acquainted with the
details. This person from internal evidence,
appears te have been tbe physician in at
tendance. The account is very long, filling
three columns of tho Debats newspaper.
Voltaire, it appears, rejected religious con
solation, nnd repulsed the clergyman, ex
claiming, '-Let medio in peace." His lost
words wero, "Take care of Maria." mean
ing hia niece, Madame Denys. The body,
after being embalmed, was carried to the
Abbey of Celliere, and when la'd in the
gravi was covered, with two feet ofqnick
lime. The full accnunt was published under
tho supervision of Henry Talne, tbo well
known author of tho History of English
Literature, to whom the document was
transmitted by Mr. Schuyler.
