Prize Fioiit. Erie has been for
some clays considerably excited over a
big prize fight on the 11th, between
two big brutes .inied Joe Coburn aud
Jim Mace. A big gang of pick-pockets
and roughs thronged the city for
two or three days in advance while the
principles were skulking around North
East and other places in hailing distance.
It is said they chose that location for
the mill because of the lax laws against
such fcrutel exhibitions in this State.
We guess our Legislature had better
see than stringent laws are lacking no
longer.
P. S. We hear this (Friday) morn
ing that the fight didn't come off in
Canada as expected. The authorities
suppressed it. Good for the Kauueks!

know that it is stated that a ireuch

smoking on .thirty-eight boys, between

addicted to the habit. Twenty-seven
presented distinct symptoms ot nicotine

ous disorder of the circulation, diges

appetite for strong drinks. In three
there was affectiou; in eight decided
deterioration of the blood; in twelve
there was epitoxis; ten had disturbed
sleep; and four had ulceration of the
mucus membrane ot tne nioutn. it is
eay then, to see bow the rank of drun

are recruited, when there are so many
boys in training for delirium tremens
and all the horrors ot dissipation.

Horrible Murder. On Monday
morning last. Samuel Jordon, a farmer
residing in Oliver township, most horri
bly murdered his wife, literally chopping
her to pieces with an axe. It appears
that Mr. Jordon and his wife, a daugh
ter of Mr. David Henry, were pursuing
the usual routine of chores about the
farm, and no visible change was appar
ent in the manner ot Mr. Jordon, until
he suddenly took up the axe from the
wood pile in tho yard and dealt her
several heavy blows, causing almost in
stant death, the head being nearly sev
ered from the body. Jordan's brother
was present and saw the act committed,
but was unable to prevent the horrible
tragedy. After committing the deed
he endeavored to cut his own throat
with the axe, but was only successlul in
inflicting a severe wound. Yesterday
he was brought to town ami confined in
jail, to await the disposition ol the
Court.
We are informed by those acquainted
with Jordon since childhood, that he
was a smart, industrious, and honest
young man, but for some time he has
shown si.'os of insanity, but until the
present has he been vio'ent or disposed
to act viciously. Both parties, the
murderer and murdered, belong to the
most respectable families, who deeply
feel their sad affliction. Brookville

Industry. Wan must have occu
pation, or be miserable. Toil is the
prioe ot sleep arid appetite, of health
and enjoyment. The very necessity
which overcome; our natural sloth is a
blessing. The whole world does not
contain even a briar or a thorn which
Nature could have spared. We are
happier with the sterility, which we can
overcome by industry, than wo could
bave been with spontaneous plenty and
unbounded profusion. The body and
the mind are improved by the toil that
fatigues them. The toil is a thousand
times rewarded by the pleasure which
it bestows. Its enjoyments are peculiar.
No wealth can purchase them, no indo
lence can taste thorn. They flow only
from the exertions which repay tho la
borer. It a cat doth meet a cat upou a gar
den wall, and if a cat doth greet a cat,
oh, need they both to squall? Every
Tommy has bis Tabby, waiting on the
wall, and yet he welcomes her approach
by an unearthly yawl. And if a kitten
wish to court upon the garden wall, why
don't he sit ana sweetly smile and not
staud up and bawl, and lift his precious
back up high, and show his teeth and
moan, as if 'twere colio more than love
that made that feller groan?

thinking to roast his companion, said to
him: "Where would you be now, Pad
dy, if tho devil had his due?" "Faith,"
replied Paddy, "I'd be walking by my
self to New York.''
Tho question, Does getting drunk
ever advance one's happiness? would
seem to be put to rest by the Irishman
who went courting when drunk, and
was asked what pleasure he found in
whisky "Oh, Biddy, it's a trato in
tirely, to see two of yout swate purty
faces iustead of one."
A man. out in Indiana who heard that
the safest way to commit suicide was to
shut yourself up and burn charcoal,
was found iu a ten-acre lot with a char
coal firo near him. Though he had
taken tho precaution to put up the bars
and stop the crack in the fence with a
newspaper, the charcoal did not act
fairly by him aud he lived.
Toothache in Dumb Animals.
It must be dreadful when poor dumb
animals suffer from toothache. Every
ooe has read how Chunee, the elephant
at the old Exeter Exchange, iu Eng
land; went mad from it; and it is popu
larly supposed thut it is often a cause of
madness in dogs. J. his may be pre
vented by examining the teeth and hav
ing those extracted which are affected.
Wit and Humor of Children.
The following we copy from Beccher's
Magazine: A little, quick-witted boy,
was called from his desk in school to
say his lesson to a school master, who
could appreciate tho wit and humor of
his pupil.
"What's yer name?"
"Peter, sir."
"Come up and say yer lesson, now,"
"Yes. sir."
"What letter is that?"
"I know, sir."
"Tell me, then."
"I know him by sight, sir, but I
don't know his name."
"Well, that is A; what is. the name
of the uext?"
"I never saw that before, sir."
"What bird is it that stings and lays
the honey?"
"It is a wasp, sir."
"No; it is B, yer blockhead; and
what is the next one?"
"I don't know, sir; I never heard his
name, eir."
"What do I do when I look at you?"
"I shouldn't like to say, sir."
'You had better tell me quick."
"I'm afraid you'll lick me, sir."
"Tell me, you young scape-grace,
what I do when I look at you."
Vhv. mil sniiinf.. sir."
.. ..j, j -j ,
"Can't you say C, without the squint?"
"Yes, sir, I can."
'Well, say it, thdn'
"C without the squint."
"What is the name of the next letter?"
"I don't know, sir."
"That's D for dunce, just like your
self. Now, suy that, sir."
"D for dunce, just like yourself, sir."
The master evidently got the worst of
it in that duel of wit, so he sent the
boy to his seat and called the spelling
class to its feet.
"Spell frog," roared the master.
"F-r-o-g bull-frog."
"It ain't right, take your seat."
"Next, spell milk."
'M-i-l-k butter-milk-"
"It ain't right, take your seat."
"Next, spell tub."
"T-u-b wash-tub."
"It ain't right, take your seat."
"Next, spell fiah."
"F-i-s-h cat-fish."
"It ain't right, take your seat, and
let the geography class come up and say
the lesson. Bring the map of Asia and
let me know which way Canada is the
longest?"
"Canada is the longest lengthwise, sir."
"That's a smart boy; you will be a
member oi Congress yet. Where does
the sun rise?"
"Don't know, sir. We never get up
in our house iu time to see the perfor
mance!" "Next, where does the sun rise?"
"In the east, sir."
"What makes the sua rue ia the
east?"
"Ycatl will make anything rite, tir!"

The "Burlington Rontc," wj cnllcjl,
lies right in the path of the Star of Em
pire. It rnns almost immediately in the
centre of the great westward movement
of emigration. Crossing Illinois and
Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river at
three points.
These three points are the gateways
into three great sections of the trans
Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where
the great 1'aciQo road will take you to
tho land of golJ and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plnttsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska,
south of the Platte river, a region un
surpassed on tho continent for agricul
ture and grazing. Just here are the B'
& M. Railroad lands, concerning which
Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur
lington, Iowa, can give you all informa
tion, and in the heart of them is Lin
coln, the-State Capital and present ter
minus of the road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connection with the St. Joe Road at
Hamburg, running direct to St. Joe and
Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run
smoothly and safely, and make all con
nections. It runs the best of coaches
Pullman Falace and Pullman dining
cars, and should you take tho journey
for the journey's sake alone, you will be
repaid; or take it to find a homo or a
farm, and you cannot find cither better
than among the B. & M. lands, where
you can buy on ten years' credit, and at
a low price. vln2yl.
