KOEMER. Curious Funeral Ceremonies in Athens. Long before a funeral procession comes in sight, the ear catches the low mono tonous chant of the priests, who are pre ceded by boys in white robes bearing the crucifix and ecclesiastical insignia, in presence of which every head is uncover ed, and every hand makes the sign of the cross. The corpse is exposed to full view in an open cofBn of light material, cover ed with white or black cloth, with silver or gilt decoration, the cover of which, marked with a long diagonal cross, is car ried before the procession. , The body is dressed in the customery clothes of the deceased, the head slightly elevated, and the hands folded in front of a pannel pic ture of the Virgin set up on the breast. If it is a female, the cheeks and lips are painted vermillioo, iutended to reproduce a natural expression, but which gives to the corpse an artificial and ghastly look. Even to one accustomed to witness the exposure of the dead in Oriental coun tries, there is something painful in the idea of exhibiting to the glare of day, and amidst the whirl and insensibility of the public street, the features of a deceased person who in life may have been known only to the little group of mourners gath ered about the remains. At Greek funerals the hearse is not generally em ployed, and the light open casket is borne by the bands of the nearest friends of the deceased, while the other mourners walk, not march, in a group around it. Thus they literally carry aud accompany, rather than follow, their friend to the grave, and gaze upon the face which was dear to them up to the moment when he is laid in his last resting-place. The funerals of the poor are eveu more touch ing to behold. A single priest, perhaps, performs the chant, and half a doreo mourners, representing the little house hold, bear between them the coffin, which is composed of the cheapest material, and covered with white muslin. When a per son of distinguished position dies, the fu ueral procession becomes an imposing spectacle, with bishop and priests in their gorgeoussacradotal robes, numerous light ed candles, and martial music. I once f-aw the body of a venerable bishop of the Greek Church carried in procession through the streets of Athens. He was seated in bis bishop's chair, elevated above the people, and was clothed in his canonical robes with miter on head and crosier uplifted in his hand. A cloth around the forehead bound it to the back of the chair, but not sufficiently close to prevent the head from bobbing up aud down, as if the dead man's pale and rigid features were saluting, for the last time, the people among whom he bad exercised his holy office for over threescore years. In this position be was placed in his grave, a peculiar honor accorded to his ecclesiastical rank. The dead chiefly from climatic considerations arc buried within twenty four hours of their decease. This is very shockiug to foreign ideas ; but the custom has come to be complied with within less time than the law re quires. Indeed the feeling is, that the sooner the painful duty is over, and the house freed from the distressing spectacle of a corpse, the sooner will the minds of the mourners be relieved from association with what is repulsive, and return to the inward contemplation of their friend, as they knew him in life. Thus it often happens that the first intimation of a death is conveyed in the printed invita tion to the funerals. 1 have conversed with a gentleman at an evening party, who appeared to be in the highest enjoy ment ot physical health, and the day fol lowing witnessed his interment, he hav ing expired in the mean time from apo plexy. I had once a business appoint ment with a near neighbor, and, on going to fulfill it, met his dead body coming down the 6teps. I was sitting one even ing at the bedside of a distinguished American Missionary, who was describ ing to me his peculiar malady, and the next afternoon 1 saw him laid in the Pro testant Cemetery. The modern Greek may well exclaim with the ancient Greek ; "Who knows what fortunes on to-morrow wait, Since Charmls one day well to us appeared, And on the next was mournfully interred !" It is the custom, after the decease of the occupant, to drape the interior of the house with mourning. I have seen every article of furniture, from piano to foot stool, draped in the black, and even a small fctrcamer of crape attached to the key of the tobacco-box. Scribner't for October. .

The delighted whiskers make an offer, proferring them selves both in exchange (or heart.

The Selling of Goods to Minors for Credit The following is the opinions of the editor of the law column of the Land and Law Reporter : An infant, as the law calls every one who has not attained the age of twenty one years, can not, as a general rule, make a contract, which he may not dis affirm during minority, or within a res soaablc time after attaining his majority. If you sell him goods on credit and he resells them, and then refuses to pay, you arc without legal remedy. If you buy a horse from him and pay him the price for it, and he refuses to deliver, your money is gone. lie is not liable to his promissory note or bond, nor for borrow ed money. It he undertakes to do a cer tain act and receive money in advance therefore, he cannot be compelled to per form his promise after he has parted with the consideration ; nor can the money be recovered from him, for it was the folly of the party to trut him. If, however, be retain the specific and identical con sideration, and it can be identified, he becomes the trustee of the other party, and, as soon as he disaffirms the contract or refuses to perform it, he is bound to surrenderit. So, if an infant has advanced money which ha been parted with by the other party, and afterwards disaffirms the contracts, he cannot, if he received any benefit from it, recover from the other party the advanced consideration. Thus, if he buy a large quantity of grain, and, after selling a portion, disaffirm his con tract, he cannot, by returning the re mainder, acquire a right to sue the seller for a proportional part of the price. An infant is not bound by his execute ed contracts if it be in the power of the other party to replace him in the same condition in respect to the matter as that in which he was before the contract, but in such cases he must return the con sideration which was advanced to him. - The general rule, denying the obliga tory power of an infant's contracts admits of but one exception. He can make bind ing contracts for food, clothing, medical attendance, and such other necessaries as may be suitable to bis actual condition ; but, even iu these cases, some care is re required on the part of the seller. He is bound to asscertain that the articles which the minor proposes to purchase, are actually necessaries, and that he is not already provided with them by his par ents, guardian or frieuds. An infant who lives with his parents, 'or guardian, or other person uuder whose care he has been placed by them, and is properly maintained, can not bind himself to a stranger, or third person, even for neces saries. "No man," says Mr. Justice Gould, "shall take upon himself to die tate to a parent what clothing the child shall wear, at what time they shall be purchased, and of whom." 11 a trades man furnish articles which might be ne cessary if the minor were not already sup plied by his parents, or, if confiding in false appearance, he furnish articles too expensive or numerous for the minor's real condition, be is not entitled to re cover pay for them. Infancy is no plea to actions founded in misrepresentation or fraud. If an in fant falsely represents himself of age or represents that he is purchasing for an other who is of age and on the faith of this, another sell him goods, the seller may retake the goods, or sue him for dam ages. A person may bind himself by a con tract made the day previous to his twen ty first birthday and it has been held that, "if one be born on the first day of February, at eleven o'clock at night, and on the last day of January in 'tbe twenty first year of his 8ge, at one o'clock in the morniniog, he make a will devising land, it is a good will, for he was of age." It is also settled that an express promise, after he comes of age, to pay back money borrowed, or for goods purchased during his minority, will bind him but such promise must be given voluntarily and with full knowledge that he then etood discharged from all legal diability. . How to treat a Horse. Some English grooms at Saratoga arc teaching the "Yankees" how to take care of a horse. To day I asked one of these grooms, who has spent twenty years in the stables of royality, what he had to say about our American way of taking care of horses. "Why, sir," said he, "you don't take good care of your horses; you think you do, but you don't." "Why I asked. "Because when a horse comes in all wet with prespiration, you let him stand in the stable and dry with all the dirt on. In England, we take the horse as he comes in from a drive and sprinkle blood warm water all over biui, from his head to his feet. Then we scrape him down and blanket him, rubbing his face and legs dry. Thus in an hour be ia clean dry, and ready to take a good feed, while in your way he will stand and swelter for hours, and finally dry sticky and dirty. Our horses never founder and never take cold. We never use a curry comb. You scratch your horses too hard. The only cars necessary is to hav the water not very cold, then but bo them quick and blaukot them, instantly, while you are rubbing their legs. Kew York Commer cial Advertiser. "The sad leaves arc fulling. From the" Charleston News. A. Worse Affliction than Job's. A short time ago a sailor went to the city hospital from the British bark Geor giana, who was supposed to be suffering from a sore leg. The man had been ail ing for near three months, but none of his shipmates supposed that there was anything serious the - matter with him According, when, a few days before his removal to the hospital, he declared him self unable to walk about, the captain of the ship supposed that he was endeavor ing to make an excuse for getting away from the vessel that he might be left in port, the ship being prepared to sail in a few days. When-removed to the hospi tal, the man's right leg was very much swollen, and manifested all the symptoms of erysipelas, for which malady his affec tion was at first mistaken. At the end of a few days, however, an abscess formed upon the innerside of the ankle, from which after it had burst protruded about three inches of a white, membraneous looking substance, about an eighth of an inch in diameter. This singular manifestation induced a careful examination of the leg, which de veloped the fact that the man was affiict ed with the dracunculou, or Guinea worm. This is a horrible parasite, found only along the shores of the Indian ocean, Red sea and certain portions of the Medi terranean. It infests damp and muddy soil and impure water, and generally at tacks the feet and legs, but sometimes other portions of the body. At the time that it forsakes its native element for the more luxurious habitation of flesh and blood, is scarcely larger than a common flea ; but having once buried itself be neath the skin, it grows with alarming rapidity, and will attain a size varying from six inches to six feet in length, by one twelfth to one eighth of an iuch iu diameter. It lies dormant until it reaches the age of maturity, after which it commences a series of wandering and meandering about the muscles and bones, which cause in tense pain to the unsuspecting victim. It always travels downward, and with such rapidity that it will sometimes tra vel the whole length of the human frame in twenty-four hours. It will sometimes cojne to the surface and lie under the skin like a long, white cord, but should the sur geon attempt to extract it with the knife without first securing it with the nipper, it will elude his grasp and scamper away with the agility df au eel. If a portion of the worm is removed, the remaining portion will not die, hut continue as gay and lively as ever. The first symptoms of the Guinea worm are a disagreeable itching and irritation of the infected parts. After it begins to move about its paths are followed by ex ternal abscesses, and when the paths lie along the stomach, internal abscesses also. It always ultimately endeavors to leave the system by working its way through the skin, generally near the ankle ; but this is only after it has left from ten to fifteen young behind. The usual number of worms that are found in one person varies from one to fifty. There is one case on record, however, of a man dying from the effects of the Guinea worm whose body and skin were nothing but a net work of these horrible creatures. Death rarely results from the ravages of this worm, and when it docs it is gen erally the result of the inflammation and other effects of worm's wanderings. Tho Guinea worm does not confine its ravages to man, but will attack dogs and horses. The sailor in question made a voyage to the eastern coast of Africa, about six months ago, and while there received the parisites into his system. One of these worms has already been extracted from his right leg, but another made its ap peorance in the left. He is doing as well as can be expected under the cir cumstances. This is probably the first case of the kind ever kuowu in Charles ton. Sporting Notes. A number of "duckers'' came in on Saturday evening, laden with the tro phies of their skill at trigger pulling. Rabbits can ouly be shot, according to the game laws, during the months of November and December. Gunners hereabouts had better bear this in mind and save trouble. Large numbers of gray squirrels have been shot this fall, and the wood through oat Dauphin county are reported to be full of them. They are now feeding on chestnuts, corn, &c , aud are exceedingly fat. An English paper impresses the fol lowing as "golden rules" on the minds of all sportsmen, in order to prevent some of the yearly acoidents which occur from the careless handling of fire-arms : 1. Never load or leave a loaded gun in the house. 2. Never carry a gun in a position that if it went oil accidentally it would injure any one, 3. Never carry a gun cocked when scrambling through a hedgo or leaping a ditch. , 4. Never lean a gun loosely against a tree or wall, as if it lulls, or is suddenly moved away, is-liable to-go off. 5. Never iu sport point towards an other a loaded or unloaded piece of fire arms. By strictly adhering to the above rules many serious accidents would be avoiJed Cities and Wealth. Statistics show that, within the last decade, in our larger towns the deposits in our savings banks havo increased threefold ; and what is equally significant and gratifying the number of depositors has increased in about the same ratio. No better proof could be asked or given of the advancing fortunes of the great body of the people in the centres of in dustry. As a matter of fact, we all know that business as a whole, was never more prosperous ; there never was a time when the unskilled workman received such high wages; and it is the fault of the laborer himself if he is not securing a home and independence. The one great draw back is that our people will not be as conoini cal as tbey ought to be. There is too much spcut upon dress ; there is not that frugality in house keeping which would conduce alike to health aud comfort. We have not yet learned to live well and cheaply, and this remark applies to almost every household in the land. Our girls arc not brought up to understand and to do housework ; there arc too many servants in the houses, and there are servants where it would be much better that there were none. The daughters of well to do people think it beneath them to go into the kitchen and get dinner; in fact, very few of them could do it. This is all wrong. There is nothing which gives a higher degree of health, there is no exercise which is so invigorating, none which gives a brighter glow to the cheek, none which makes purer blood than that of housework. In the country towns and on the farms, it is said that the popula tion is not increasing. The cities are filling up at the expense of the rural dis tricts. The mills and shops and the best brains from the farms. This is the result of our manufacturing progress, and to a certain extent is uot perhaps to be de plored. But again, it is quite certain that there arc evils following it, some of the effects of which we begin to see, which are hardly compensated for by the amount added to the bank account. The robust women of former days are becoming obsolute. The number of children who die in infancy increasing; the prudence of the olden time is giving away to falser notions of life. There is something to be thought of besides money, and, if we are to retain our Republican ideas and system of government in its purity, we must give a new impetus to and encourge a fond ness for agriculture. We must till less land and till it better. There must be more flower gardens, less monotony on the farms, and more peaceful surround ings. The country is the place, after all, for pure enjoyment, and where there is less wearing care, less excitement, less risk of failure, with an assured com petence and, if we will make it, a home upon which nobody has a mortgage. A Romance of the War. . An incident has lately occurred at Tiffin, near Cleveland, Ohio, springing out of the war, which has caused much talk and admiration. As an evidence of gratitude for a signal service performed, gratitude not affected by time, but cher ished in silence for years until the op portunity came to express it, in act as well as words, the case is interesting and exemplary. It appears that before the war. Tiffin and its nighborhood had an itinerant preacher named Downey. On the outbreak of hostilities, this man, a resolute Unionist, entered a volunteer regimcut as captain. When the Govern ment determined on employing negro troops, Downey became Colonel of a color ed regiment. During the campaign in Tennesec, this regiment chanced to be encamped upon the estate of one Col. Washington, near Nashville. Exaspera ted by some cause, not related, the troops became insubordinate during their Col onel's absence. A number of them in vaded Col. Washington's grounds, and burst into and pillaged bis house. Re monstrated with by the owner, tbey be came exasperated, seized and bound him, and were on the point of putting him to death. Col. Downey arrived at the criti cal moment, just when his captors, wild with drink and rage, were about to hoot Washington through the heart. With out an instant's hesitation, Downery rush ed between them, and, at the imminent peril of his own life, saved that of Col. Washington. The latter, profoundly moved, warmly expressed bis obligations, and promised never to forget them. With this, however, the matter rested, and amid many succeeding scenes of wild excitement, Downey dismissed the sub ject from his mind. He remained in the national service until the close of the war, and then, returning home, settled down to a quiet, domestic life. Within a short time he died, leaving bis wife and children in straightcued circumstances. Mrs. Downey was compelled to resort to her ncedlo to get even a bare support for herself and little ones. Rut a change was soon to be wrought in her condition A month or two ago, Col. Washington died ; and it has now been found that his whole estate, including three hundred acres of improved lands close by Nash ville, and valued at over one hundred thousand dollars, a sum of ten thousand dollars in cash, and other property, has been left by hiiu outright to the wile and children of bis preserver, Col. Downey. Our civil war witnessed many strange episodes, too many, unhappily, of a mourn ful description, and some far surpassing fiction in the strangeness and improb ability of their incidents. Hut the tale we have related, honorable as it is" to all concerned, is one that will be read only with pleasure. A7. V. Times. THE THIEVESoTyORK COUNTY; THE Rl.va DETERMINED TO FOIL THE AU DITING COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO EX TOSE THEIR CP.IMES. York, Oct. 22 Little York was tbrs morning startled by the report cf another robbery at the court-house, more astound ing than that cf last March, when thieves entered the commissioners' room, and stole all the vouchers and other important papers on ule. Suspicion then pointed to prominent cfioials around the court house as the guilty parties, and it was settled beyond doubt, in the minds of the people, that the theft had been committed by some one hired by the Ring which con trols the county. The perpetrators bow ever, were never brought to punishment, if discoverd at all This making away with the evidence on file, it was thought by the Ringsters, would foil the Auditing Committee appointed by the Legislature, through a special act, to' examine the ac counts of the York officials, at that time' accused of WHOLESALE FRAUDS. But the Auditing Committee collected enough testimony to prove that at least 50,000 had been either stolen or squan dered. This discovery appears not bo have suited certain officials, and they determined to secure every evidence of their guilt. Last night the long planned job was successfully carried out. Tho court hou?e was re entered, all the re maining accounts for the past six years, the books containing the records of notes issued by the county, and most important of all, the auditor's' report itself taken. Unless the thieves are discovered and the. reports secured the committee will be en tirely at the mercy of the Ring, as the re ports were to have been filed at the Novem ber court. The affair has created as much, if not more, excitement thin on the previous occasion. Heavy rewards were then and will again be offered for th arrest of the thieves. THE HISTORY OF THE RING ROIJBERIES in this county during the past twelve years is a disgraceful one. In 18G9, when the commissioners were for the first time required to publish the debt of the county, the facts of the immense robberies' came to light. For nine years thieving had been going on, and bankrubtcy stared the people in the face. Something must be done, the people thought, to stay this wholesale plundering, aud a special law was passed authorizing an issue of bonds not execcediDg $14,000. This, itwas sup posed, would be a full limit of the debt for all time to come. A seven mill tax was also levied to pay the interest and liquidate the debt, but the result was still worse. As fast as the people paid theif taxes into the county treasury the Ring officials put the uieney in their pockets. The debt kept on increasing until it reach ed over $300,000. Then it was that an investigation was'demanded aud ordered, and finally commenced. And this is the result of it ; Nothing left with which to prove the guilt of the criminals, tho evideuce of their dark doiegs all gone, and the people more at their mercy than, ever before. The Profits of Base Ball Tossing: A New York correspondent of the Chi cago Times gossips as follows concerning professional base ball players : The Mutuals, of New Yoik, pay an average of $1,200 each to eleven players. The Atbletice ot Philadelphia, pay $12, 200 to eleven players. The Baltimere Club, of that city, have appropriated $-12,-100 for ten players. Harry Wright's great Boston Club receive an average of $1,200, some of the players not receiving more than $000 or SlJUO, while it is said that the two Wrights Harry, the cap tain, and bis brother George, the short stop, and best general player in the coun tryeach is paid $3,CU0. The Haymak ers, of Troy pay the largest aiumoutit in gross, they disbursing $15,000 for twelvo players an average of $1,300. The Clove land Forest City club pay their men au average of $1,500. When it is consider ed these amounts are for seven month's service, it will be admitted that the pay is not bad. Tt is, however, uneveuly dis tributed, the catcher and pitcher getting the larger share. Some of the pitchers get as much as $3,000, because so much of the success of the season depends upou the skill, endurance aud stamina of tho pitcher. ludecd, I have been told that it requires to tempt Arthur Cummings from the side of his pretty, new married wife, r.o less a sum than $3,500, or the rate of $125 a week lor seven months, with all railroad and steamboats fares, hotel bills, &c, paid while travelling. Cummincs was formerly pitcher for the Stars of Brooklyn, but is now engaged by the Mutuals- 11c is paid to bs the best pitcher in the country. Little Wille P., of Greenfield, was re cently presented with a toy trumpet to which be became greatly attached. Otie night when be was about to go to his '-little bed," and was ready to say his prayers, he " banded the trumpet to his grand mother, saying, "Here, graudiua, you blow while I pray." 0.
