Mrs. /ADOC; CORSON, of Albany township. ' died Sunday. The lady was one of the oldest settlers of Hihlmrd town, a kind mother and an exemplary woman. She leaves a large circle of friends to grieve over her loss. Several colored citizens of Elmira have ' been slipping clothes-lines and hen-roosts with a reckless diligence that hastened their ; arrival in jail. They were shrewd, but as usual, forgetful of minor detail. They drew jaekknivos acress the vocal chords of their feathered prev, but on one occasion i u*got that a bleeding fowl, if not properly looked after, would leave drops of blood here and there to record the course of their rctn at ing footsteps. The chickens last stolen were found suspended by a string between the in side and outside wall of the hotis<>the thieves occupied, an ingeniously covered hole being the means of introducing tliein into their odd place of conceal incut. A meeting of the Institute Scicntitie Society was held on Tuesday evening last. Bapcrs were read on the following subjects: Hydrogen, by (5. WATKINS; The Nebular lh pothesis, by GEO. M \RMIAIT,; Galilei', by ! (J. I. Bi'CK. Interesting discussions took place on the probable future of the earth, also on the great telescopes. A number of honorarv members were elected, among whom were JAMES MACIWR LANE, Bliila.. Dr. STEWART, Brof. RYAN and l'rof. UL'RTIAN. The subjects assigned for next meeting are: Speetnuu Analysis, E. E. QFINLAN; The Electric Eight, li. A. SCOTT; The Great Geo metricians, K. M. BI KE; Bhotographv, (E B. TAYLOR. The following is from the Sullivan County Democrat: "The following is authentically vouched to us. A company of men in Gran ville, Bradford county, were recently discuss ing the possibility of a man hung by the neck grasping the rope and slipping out of the noose. There was a variety of opinions about it, and Mr. FRED FKXTON, one of the dis putants, bethought him to try the experi ment. Accordingly, when the party had dis persed, h • repaired to a shop, and, attaching a rope to a rafter, slipped a running noose about his neck, and let himself down. Then he attempted to loosen himself, but utterly I failed. However, in the struggles of strung nlntlrm, he broke the rope and fell to the floor, where lie lay utterly helpless and froth ing at the mouth until his brother SKINNKR came and released him. With some difficulty he was relieved' tuffieioptly to enable him to speak again, when he looked at his brother and srfid woefully: SKINNER, it can't be done!" In solving the problem lie came near solving the problem of life, but we think the question may now be looked upon as settled." If there be parents who give themselves un easiness over tly too slow developing matri monial pro*pect> of it f ami If o| daughters, let them envy Mr. Si APT. of Christ mas came to him in the form of a triple wed ding, when three bridegrooms, from three New Jersey towns, tobk each his own from among the three daughters aud departed with the parental blessing/ The officiating eiergy inan is said to have risen to the ex! raordinary dertiands of the occasion with grace and im pressiveness. It is also related that after listening to "a few general observations on the nature and design of marriage, each couple was separately united in the order of the Daughters' Ages." The local reporter touehingly dismisses the event with the com prehensive sentiment: "May sunny skies be theirs, and halmv winds waft them over life's broad ocean, to tlie beautiful shores beyond."
