He pretended to know .nothing at all about it, and it was generally believed that he did the mischief in his 6leep. It was very mortifying to him, and .the rost of us couldn't help having our ^it'tle joke at liU expense, of course. But finally the landlady's son resolved to sleep with him, tnjd watch performances. He did ro, but the first night nothing happened On the second night the young man way awakened by feeling his bed-fellow :pull gustily at the shoot. Ho opened his' eyes, and there saw the clerk sitting up in bed, pulling at the sheet. He prevented bim from pulling it from its place, and! still kept watch. Finally he spoke: " Will ten yard* be enough, ma'am?" Saying! which, he ueized his <oinpa.nion's night-!

An elderly man named Beckwith, residing in one of the Peninsula counties, came o this city a short time ago on business. Te brought, with him an old-fashioned flint, ock rifle to have a stock and lock put on. )n the cars he foil in conversation with a >arty of three gentlemen from this city% j vhen one of them, to test the reality of j ome of the extraordinary feats of marks, oanship he boasted of, offered him $10 to epeat some of them, to which the other two .dded $5 between them. The trial came iff in an old field half a mile below Rockitts, and was witnessed by about a dozen persons. j The old fihit-lock was fired seven times, ind only once missed its aim. The old gentleman, after making two shots at email ibjects to one side, to get his hand steadyi is he said, handed his son a potato and tationed him at fifty yards' distance, hold- ' ng the potato between his thumb and fore- i ingor. The rifle cracked, and the potato ell cloven in three or four piece?. One of he larger pieces was then thrown in the ] ur, the marksman keeping at the same did-1 ance and again the shot told. An inch, md-a-half augur was then produced, and a j icle bored in the fence, behind which was j astencd a piece of white paper. At the j lis tan ce of stxty yards the marksman sent > ball clear through the aperture, piercing ho paper. At the fourth shot, from sixty axil* distance, the bowl of a pipe, which he son was smoking, was crushed. At the j ifih shot a copper cent was thrown in the .ir and hit. The sixth and seventh shots iere delivered at a blackened five cent liekel piece thrown np by the son, standing ,bout thirty yards off. At th? first attempt ho phot missed. The old gentleman< howod considerable mortification, and laid i ho blame upon a bystander, who at the! riticnl moment sneezed loudly. The nextl ttempt, however, was an entire successt! -i'* vnor. . icntmpri nnv further trials of ! ilie um iiin11 v*w....v^ ?y lis skill, and when offered a sum of money ! a repeat his first feat of shooting a potato j rom his son's hand, he refused, saying- ho j idn't care to try such experiments unless! is weapon was freshly cleaned. The ex- j ibition was the more remarkable from the ; ict that the marksman was an old man, t least fifty. His eye, however, is a clear, right gray. His appearance is that of a oor farmer. The 5 -uing man showed not ie least tremor or anxiety during the angerous experiment upon himself. The | Id man referring to his son, said, "Bob can I aoot just as well as I can."?Richmond 1 VMg. ? "WRONG KIND OF A SHIRT. It was a respect a I tie-looking colored man .ho brought his washing hi.rue. "Your wife is a good washerwoman, isn't he ?" said'the young bachelor to the polite nd obsequious man. "Yaas, sir; sh? commonly always give ati'faction," replied the husband of the umdresa.

A piece o? oat fossilized, which had ividently wlien in condition of wood beon Lrtificially cut with square edges to a shape ome twenty inches long by fourteen wide md five deep, has recently been found in he South Fork tunnel, near Forrest City^ sierra county, 1,800 feet fi-om the mouth of he tunnel, v.ith 800 vertical feet of the noun tain above it.. This relic of human irtitice in the prehistoric period was found n what was the wen bank of the great river vhich ran across the present courses of the Sierra river system. How many thousands )f centuries have pas- -d since it was shaped, tnd for how mr.ny it has lain undisturbed n ite deeply covered grave, is a snggesive subject of study and conjecture. Dther discoveries indicating the existence of nan in very remote ages have been mado n various sections of this old river course; md in 1858 a number of fossilized pine logs, seven feet long- and four in diameter, that iiad been neatly sawed and piled up together, were found in the Alleghany tunnel, tinder the bed of the "Old 131ue River.'' rhe recently found ivlic has been forwardto the State University.?Contra Custa [Col.) SazeUt. Ik an address delivered before the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Mr. Hooker exhibited a wonderful plant. A Liverpool paper in an account of it says;? A fly was captured and put upon a leaf which instantly closed, and on reopening it was found that the fiy was coinpletly dissolved. A bit of beef was afterward consumed the same way. The leaf was then fed with chcese, which disagreed with it horribly and eventually killed it." Dr. Hooker explained that the plant's action was precisely similar to the human stomach. The leaf rejected a piece of wet chalk. Onk-Focrth of the area of Pruseia is in forest, the most of which ir> controlled and preserved by the government. In Hanover alone there ar? nine hundred thousand acres of wood under State management.
