The billiard sharps are becoming toe skillful. First, tho old pocket tables were discarded, as making the game too easy.

The Next State. New Mexico applies at the family door for admission into the Union as a State.

She has an area of about GOO,000 square miles, and claims a population of 112, 000.

Tho first burial of a member ef the Patrons of Husbandry with th'o honors of the order, that has come to "our no* tieo, took place a few days since in Kickpaoo, when the remains,of Henry Polin were consigned to their last rest ing place with all the pomp and funer al pageant of the Oranger bnrial ner vier.. Mr. Bolin wob a prominon' mem ber, and the attendance was very large, ?cmc 400 poreons being present. Thi programme of tho burial wsb about as follows. On ieaving the residenco of tho do or ased, the hoarse which oooUincd the remains was flanked on either side by three pall bnarers, who walked with uncovered heads and regalias draped in mourning. Following tho hoarse came the relatives of tho deceased, and next marched the Sisters of ths Ord?r clad in full regalia. The Brothers came next, and following them the fast c m course of peoplo, who had orac froiu far and noar to witness the ceremonies. The remains were first taken to tho church, were n priest went through a ceremony peculiar to the Catholic church, of which tho deceased was a member. When the oxcrciso had been concluded, the proces sion took up its march for the cemetery where the Granger funeral rites were performed. The coffin was placed on supports directly over the open grave and remained there u itil the impressive | aud interesting scrvioo was concluded: O. B. Cofliu, Master of the Franklin Grange, conducted the coro monies. When tho brother* aud sisters of the i grange of which the deceased was a member, had assemble 1 ab mt the grave the Master read a solcclion fr>m the burial ritual, followed by a saco i 1 sole: tion by the Chaplin, and then the mem bcrs repeated slowly and solemnly tho Loru'd ^riy or, closing with a beautiful and appropriate hymn. Tli!?f Brothers' of the Order then stepped to. th j grave and threw into tho opening several bou quets of flower* and evergreens. A aho.t, but powerful a ldross was next de livored by the Chaplain- While the coffin was being lowered into tin gr*vo, a beautiful aud soul inspiring hy n i wjs sung, and during the singing the sitters strewed bouquets of flowers upon the descending eofU i ua*il it reached the wooden box at tho bottom of the grave. The Master thcu sprinkled the portion of dirt thrown from tho grave over the cntfin, and the sorvic: closed with tho solomu boueJiution of tho' Chaplain. Taken throughout tho ceremonies wire very beautiful and improssive. This was the first burial of a Granger in the county, and, if Wo are currently informed, in the State?that is, with the ceremonies of the Order. A Terrible Scene. Immense damage was done in Sher brooko, Guysborough Couity, N. S., by a freshet. Tho St. Mary's River was swollen by the rain and thaw. A con- ' pie of miles above Sherbroexe there is a natural dam of rocks across the river, | beyond which for several miles it is call ed Still water. Tho ice on tho river broke up in consoquonee of the Ireshot, and flooded the whole- of the valley. On the loit bank of the river where Sher brookc is situated the soeno was a fear ful one. The flood brought down thou sand of tons of ice and great number of logs. Whole troos were apronted from tho banks in the course of the torrent. The solid ice below the village remain ed firm, and the flats upon which Sher brookc stands, became a boiling sea. Boats and canoes wore in demand. Kvo ry house was flooded. Tho cattle were driven out of town by parsons on hor.se dnck. The women children, and aged people were taken away in bo.its. Many families abandoned their houses alto gether, while others took refuge in the upper storios. Two bridges in tho Til lage, and a large bridge over the St. Mary's River, are gone. A new vessel nearly ready for launching was destroy ed, and much timber carried away. Tho day after the flood the mountains of ice and tho logs, trenn and other debris be came frozen solid, so that tho village is now imbedded in a frozen sea. The ruin is indescribable; it exteuds a mile and a half in length, by a mile in breadth In the event of a sudden thaw the vil lage will be quite destroped. ?Head Us Somebody.'?The clerk of a County in the We-tern part of the State, was breaking a yearling oatf.

This frightoned the ealf which raited its voice and tail and struck out.
