The ladie of the committee of arrangements acquitted them selves with great credit ; they, with the co operation of the ficnerousand obliging host and koettss of the Hyde House succeeded admirably in making the party one of the most pleasant that ever assembled in llidg way. The occasion will long be remem bered by all who participated. Ought not this donution, which we dare gay will Ee found at least equal to any niado wiibin the bouuds of the Erie Coulcrencj during the curreut year, suggest the idea to the appointing power of the M.

New CaBtle Courant has the following tough story On Monday or Tuesday of last week a small boy named Charlie Henry, who tor some time past has been going to school near Prince ton, this county, and living with his uncle, swallowed a small pen knife, with the blade open. He told bis uncle what he had done, but he did not think the boy was in earnest, untill some of the school children told hira that Charlie had really swallowed the knife. He then become alarmed and came to town to tell his relatives liv ing hero, nnd confult.a physician. We do not know what measures have been taken to place the boy 'out of danger. Up to last accounts ot the time of this writing, no uneasiness had caused the boy by the knife, oud he was in his Ubiial good spirits. A Wilful Woman. Tbo Duchws ol Malborough, wife of the "great Duke," was a termagant of the worst sort. No an. ccdotc so forcibly illustrates her temper as tbis: She had long and rich hair, which her husband greatly admired. One day, to spite hi'.n, she cropped it off close and threw it in hi3 face. But she was of a natnre to defy death it self. When very old, she was taken sick. The physicians told her she must be blis tered. She relused. At length ono ot thenifcaid. "Unless your ladyship is will ing to bj blistered o'l will die." 'I won't he bbstcred and I won't die," returned the incorrigible old woman. And for that time she was as pood as her wofd.
