'I made Mrs. Squills as mad as forty
tho other uij^bt,' euid Squills;'I had
left my lutoh-kcy at home and had to
ring the old lady out of bed.
'I haled to do it, of course,' said
Squills; 'but I could not roost out all
ni^ht on tho door mat, and when .she
catne down she looked the reverse of
rosy, I tell you.'
'It's extraordinary, Mr. Squills, you
can't think of your latch key. Making
me come down night after night*?she
hadu't done it for a year, said Squills,
'waking me out of my Orst sleep, and
catching my death of cold, and blowing
my nose half oil'with the rheumatism.'
'I tried to loot as sorry as if she had
lost her latch-key,and kuockod uie out
of bed instead,'said Squills.
'Never miud, Ma*. Squills; only wait
till dear buby catches the consumption,
and then you'll wish you'd never seen a
latch key, perhaps.'
'Catches what, my .sweet love?'
'Consumption, Mr. Squills. Latch
keys have brought more blessed babies
to their latter ends than you dream of,
Mr Squills, and I only hope my note
won't Strike into hairy's lungs and carry
her off, that's ull.'
'I hope she would not be abducted in
that way,' said Squills, 'and then 1 saw
L was iu dor it. So, when I got upstairs,
L pulled uH my coat and boots, put on
my dressing go./en,.lighted my pipe, drew
my ohair up toitihc *fire, and sat down to
wait fur <thc hurricane. I t wasn't long
coming. She was sitting bolt upright

S<|Uillf?, I shall not let .her ^o and I j
fdiall not shy a cold tt.iter at her. 1 slip
..pose that <lisgutttiitg 'vulgarity at the
lodyc. A pretty thing, i?ilced! A man
?who ea-Hs himself Tcspoctahle', telling
the wife of Iiis bos one to shy a cold
tatcr at her own mother. I'd have you
4; now, Mr. Squills, that my mother isn't
<hat kind of a womau ; yon can't shy
cold potatoes at her with impunity, and
what's more you s au't.'
'Nor roast mutton either,' I said.
'My family wasn't laised on cold pota !
.toes in old Virginia, Mr. S-tjuills, what
ever }*>ur family was. Wliat's the
matter ->rith .mutton? Asked your owu J
heart, Mr. Squills, if you have a heart.
You know you might as well set her
dowa to a mess of wool. And then, as
that's not cruel enough, you want me to
shy cold potatoes at her. What's that
you say about 'rip' Mr. Squills t J)ul
you dare to say 'let her rip V
'I tried to put in here nnd explain,'
said Squills, 'that I was only gelling off
Rip Van Winkle's joko, and that 1
didn't mean anything personal, but it
wasn't of any use. She had got her
Shenaudoah away up, and that i<n't
stoppable, you know, in one of the first
families.'
'Don't insult me with your beastly
jokes, sir. Can you look that dear
infant in the face, Squills, after teljing
her mother to throw potatoes nt her
grandmother, and to let her rip,' all
because she don't like wool for dinner 'i
And she shan't eat it. sir. No, sir ; not
if I die for it the next instant, Squills,
She shall have a can of oysters aud a
box of sardines all to her dear old self
in the kitchen and I'd like to boo you
throw a clod potato at her.'
'This kind of argument was titans wer
able,' said Squills, 'so I Hat and smoked
my pipe and she subsided. Just as I
was gettiug into bed, sho looked up and
said, 'Mr. Squills, dou't forget to b jit
the door !'
'The next day, (1 don't know where
it came from) but thcro was a turkey
en the tuble, and Mrs. Squills and the
dear old party from the Shenaodnah
Valley were all as smiling as you picasc.
I never said mutton once,' eaid Squills.

STHANOE 8*0 BN ES OF DEVASTATION IN
IRELAND.
Mr. W. Ii. Trench, writing to tho
liOtidon Times to appeal to the eharila
ble lor aid for some uiifortuqate families,
gives this account of the burstiug of an
Irish hog. He save ;
'1 have just returned from inspecting
one of the most pitiful Sectios of the
wort it has been my fate to witness since
I saw the remains of the village of Visp,
in the llhnnc Valley, Switzerland, after
its destruction by flood some years
ago.
'The scene to whieh I'refer is the
result of the bursting of r boir, situated
about three miles cast ol the town of
Duinnnrc, in the northern part of Gal
way county. Heretofore this bog was
connected with the Dun more Uiver, at
Dunnmro, by a small si ream called the
florrnbel Hivcr fit wing through aeon
tinnation of pasture aud tillage lan Is in
its course. Tin; level of the upper sur
fare of the bog was formerly 2C0 fe-t
above-the sen, and that of the water at
Duumore D.'O feet, showing a fall of 70
feet. Fp to a fortnight ago this bog
presented the tiMiul appearance of most
of our undruihed Dish bog)?, i. o , its
skirts, adjoining the arable land, consist
iug of high turf banks, being exceeding
1y wet and spongy.
'Oil the first of Qet?bcr tho farmer
occupying a farm ou the Corrabal streun
uonr the bog wns"digging his potatoes,
when lie su Idctily ubserved it brown mass
.slowly approaching him He left his
spade iu the gr?roiid, and wont for the
neighbors; on his return tho uns (w.hidh ;
was the moving bog. ) h id half Covered
his potato field, iiiifi completely hidden
from sight h\> field of corn, with the ex
,..r.:.jn lew st rVaka situated on a
knoll; they still retuain an island in the
middle of a stci'C of desolation. This
was but the commencement, id nee then
the bog Ita* continued to advance i > a
rolling uot>??. ciniiiiiViii'^ itscour?e ri^ht
?down the valley tn Duuniora. bu yin ; j
on its way three rarin ho i<os. and o ?ver
ing at least one hundred and eighty j
acres of pasture and arable lau I to a
depth in some places ol'six feet. The j
unfortunate ocMipiers of tho three farms i
have beeu turned, by this visitation of j
I'rovideiioe, farmless and homeless, with
their families, on lite world.
'At Dunmoiv a small bridge has been
removed, near the junction of the (jor
rabel strwaui W4tll the Duuiuoru Kivcr
to afford relief to tlie lands up the val
ley, and n bog-hideu torrent is being dis
ulvargcd into the latter river. The
worst may be said to bo over, but the
discharging powers of that river will be
materially affected by this inilttx ol sol
id matter. The source ol this disaster
vresentoTl a wonderful appearance. The
subsidence at the discharging point can
not be less than about 115 feet. The
extent of the bog affected is most clear
ly defined by a series of black 'erev is
>es,' where the upper crust of the bog
has. by the subsidence below, been torn
asunder; The whole assumes the form
of.a era tor half u mile in diameter.
'With considerable difficulty we p:l.)t
ed our way to the c Mitre, whore w ? foun 1
the brown liquid bog boiling out like a
stream of lava and feuding the moving
mass in the valley below. At the point
.where the bug burst, the turf banks
were forced r'ght ovi r and rnuufi on
either side, and assumed somewhat the
appearance of 'moraines.'
'This aud similar disasters to which
this country is liable must bo attributed
to the absence, of a lOmplcta and good
system of arterial draiuago. A .similar
catustiophe occurred two yoara ago, oc
casioned by the backwater of the River t
Suckj near Oiistlereft.'

Andrew Hill, the flagman the
Bread street crossing of the Morris and
JCssex Hailroad, will ever be grutelully
remembered by a young Indv who was
rescued ly him from imminent death.
The young lady who is the daughter of
a wealthy gentleman residing in IJ.oVtn

afternoon, and was on h?r way to the
depot to take thu uext train to return
home. A train tfom New York had
just passed, and the Morristowu train

upon her prostrate form, and steht me a,
who had been accustomed to witnessing
mutilated bodies of tho victimtflpf rail
road accidents, too far off to Jfcndor as
sis tune e in time, sickened and shllddored
at the thought of the inovitab$> crush
i ig of the fair girl's beautiful foiW The
nearest man was Andrew Hfd. He
threw away his lantern, da-hedcHj^?,i)
the prostrate girl and the train JSSy^
was within twelve feet of her, soKed her
iu his arms, and with all his ITveugth
threw himself backward, lie fell! Tho
din of too wheels drowned thti cry of
the doomed victims, and the iirialy out
line of the train for a moment htd them
from view. Mr. Couklin had Inade a

compare with him. .Naturalists have
never done the pig justice unless at a
late dinner; their description of' hilri
applying us well to a peck of potatoes.
The pig was first born in North Caro

For developing the g-eatosl amount of

the pig has no equal unless it is a mule
or an Irishman; 1 f you want him to
go in one direction always drive liiuj in

aged about six years who was bitten by
a rabid dog. The wound was an ugly
one upon the arm, between the elbotf
and tho shoulder. Wo were greatly
frigbteiicd, as you may imagine, an^
were at a loss what antidotes to apply..
We had heard of two mad stones in tho
possession' of a Mrs. Ilardiu, a lady
living ut Council Diu (Ts, Iowa. ...As^
ibrloi'u hope luy husbuud started after
those stones. Lie rode on horseback:
uight and day, aud returned Irotu hia
mis-ion with the mad stones on tho fifth
day after the bite.
We ha l but little confidence iu suoh
remedies. The wouud had nearly healed,
aud we were directed t> shave or scrap's
the surface about it slightly, so that the
pus would ooze out, but uot so that the!
blojd would flow. We applied ono of
the stones, and, strange to relate, it
would seem to'fasten itself to the wound.
For the Gr.-t few days it would rcmVm'

it tcuk longer for the pores to till, and,
consequently, the stone would stick for
a correspondingly greater period. '*~if
The last application was ori the thir
teenth day after the bite, and theo thai
stone sfuek for forty -eight h?tire, and
would adhere no longer. After eacK
application We washed and thoroughly
cleansed the stone in warm water. Grad
uaily, ps the stone seemed to draw, the
po'mou with the pus, it made for itself r-.
cavity in 'the arm, siuking deeper at
each application^ At last it baJ quite*
buried itvolf. and a putrid sore formed^
which had a very offensive smoll^but
which finally healed. During the whole?
operation the patient was quito sick,
and grew very pale and weak, hjswhole
uei vous system seeming to be shattered.,
He fully recovered at last, and never
afterward manifested any signs of tho
J malady resulting from the bile. But you

The stone ? that wo used was ap inol^
and a half long, half au inch in d'mao

porous, resembling in many respects
pieces ol'eoal that I have seen. Where
it was found I do not kuow, uor can I
give'its geological classification. Cer
