A most ludicrons‘ scene transpired in a
place not a thousand miles from the city of
Louisville, one nightlast week, which, though
a little annoying to the persons immediately
concerned, was just. so innocent and funny
that. we cannot refrain from giving the gen-
eral outlines, suppressing names, of course.
Two apng' htly and beautiful young ladies,
were visiting their cousin, another sprightly
and beautiful young lady, who. like he:
guests, was of that happy ago, which toms
everything into fun and marina”. If the
truth were told, we fear we should have to
record the fact that these three misses were
just a little bit fast. They were fond of‘
practical jokes, and were continually playing
all sorts of pranks with each other. All
three occupied a room on the ground floor,
and cuddled up together in one bed. Two
of the young ladies attended a party on the
night in question, and did not get home un-
til half-past twelve at night. As it was late
they concluded not to disturb the household,
BO they quietly stepped through the low, open
window. In about. half an hour after they
had left for the party, a young Minister call-
ed at the house where they were staying.
and craved a night's lodging, which, of
course, was granted. As ministers always
have the best of everything, the old lady put
him to sleep in the best room, and the young
lady (Fannie) who had not gone to the party,
was entrusted with the duty of sitting up for
the absent ones, and of informing them of
the change of rooms. She took up her post
in the parlor, and as the night was sultry,
sleep overcame her, and she departed on an
excursion in the land of dreams We will
now return to the young ladies “ho had
gone to their room through the window.
By the dim light of the moonbenms. as they
struggled through the curtains, the young
ladies were enabled to (lescry the outlines of
Funny (as they supposed) ensconced in the
middle of the bed. They saw more,t.0 wit,
a pair of boots. The truth flashed upon them
at once. They saw it all. Fanny had set
the boots in the room to give the a good
score. They put their heads together and
determined to turn the tables on her. Si~
lcutly they climbed, and slcnlthily ascats
they took up their position on each side
of the bed. At a given signal they both
jumped into bed, one on each side of the (in
conscious parson, laughing and screaming.
" Oh, what a man! Oh, what a man 9" they
gave the poor bewildered minister such a
promiscuous hugging and tusaling, as few
persons are able to brag of in the course of
a life-time. The noise of the proceeding
awoke the old Indy, who was sleeping in an
adjoining room. She comprehended the alt-
uation in a moment, and rushing to the room
she opened the door and exclaimed: “Gra-
ciotxs. gals. it is mun——it is :1 man sure
enough !" Then: was one prolonged, consol-
idated scream; a flash of muslin through
the door, and all was over. The best of the
joke is that. the minister took the wholeahing
in eaniest. He would listen to no apologies
the old lady could make for the girls. He
would hear no excuse, but he solemnly fold-
ed his (-lcrgical robes about him and silently
stole away. Query—“Hts be mad at the
girls, or—at the old lady ?--Lom'.vro'llc Jmm

Terrible Combat with a Instil-
Mr. Timcnnan of Greene County, N. 1“,,
was recently the owner of a mastilf, which
he had raised and which was about two years
old, and the largest dog in the country On
Friday afternoon .Mm. Timex-man nnd a lady
neighbor, named Mrs. Eliza Hull, ramming
home from a visit to Cotskfll, found the dog
occupied the gate and would not let them
pass. Min. Timerman ordered him away,
but the mastifl' would not obey until they had
thrown several stones at him, when he took
refuge under the kitchen. A short time after
Mrs. Huff, while assisting Mrs. Timerman in
carrying some things from the house to the
kitchen saw that the dog with stealthy steps
was advancing slowly toward her. She, see-
ing she could not stop the dog by word or
gesture, at once prepared to defend herself,
as night was impossible. Aswan as the dog
was near her he arose on his kind feet and
attempted to seize Mn. Hufl' bythe throat.
Then ensued a when between the wa-
man and dog of about ten minutes duration,
and which for its fiemeneaa scarcely has a
parallel in such encounters. Mrs. Hufl' first
threw out her left arm, which the dog bit
fenrfully near the wrist, and with her
right hand caught the infunted beast by the
throat, and as soon as her left hand wait re-
leased from the grip of the dog she seized
his under jaw with it. Knowing fmevuy
circumstance that this combat would be a
lengthy one, as soon as the first excitement
had subsided Mrs. Hull" ordered the family
to close every door but one, toward which
she gradually but slowly drew the dog. Be-
fore reaching the steps in front of the open
door, the dog had for a short time partially
disengaged himself, and hit Mm Hufl' severe-
ly on the left thigh. By this time the heroic
woman became calm and collected, and
again stained thedog bythe mder jaw and
.throat and then began again todmw the
brute toward the open door. Finally she
reached thedoor stepgandbqantowalknp
them baokwards, and when at. the top, tube,
by summoning all her strength, and by we
violent effort, threw the dog to the ground
on his back. Before the animal could recov-
erhisfeet and ascend thestopslfnfiufl’

up my reserve salt, thinking I could secure
one at the door without any difficulty. This
proved impossible. Every cost was secured,
and even standing room disposed of. I,
however. after seating my party wandered
down and dropped into a chair near 3 group
of distinguish ed Congrasmen. In a few
minutes a John Bull of genteel exterior, but
of stimulated interior by an unusual allow-
ance of our native drmk,‘ approached, and,
fumbling in his pocket to no purpose, took
a seat near me. He was not permitted to
rest long. In a few minutes a party, under
the direction of the usher, demanded his
chair. He refused positively to vacate, us—
sert‘mg he had paid for his chair.

“ Well, sir, this lady is entitled to the seat,

And so the ushm‘ left, and John Bull sat
with It lady standing before him. Feeling
sorry for the inebriated Bull,»l saidtohim
that he bud better give the lady her seat, as
he would unquestionably be ejected.
‘ Ejected, blunt it; I shall appeal to Mr.
Thornton. I don‘t care, you know, as it‘sa
lady I invite her, younoe, to take my seat—
’Merican custom, ch 1‘"
And so in the most elaborate style he in-
vited the female to sit down, which she did
very rapidly Bull took another chair and
soon was put through the same process. He
appealed to me, threatened Mr. Thornton,
and again Vacated This continued until I
saw him travel along the row and end by
standing in a corner where he could neither

chair all the evening to which I was not an-

around, was encountered by inebriatod Bull
“ Am under obligations," he said “ for

And sure enough, he pulled out the end of

A Jersey Fish Story.
The last fish story from New Jersey Lute-
ly in the interior of that State : mild~looking
countryman entered a railroad car, bearing
a bundle tied up in a handkerchief n hich he
placed under his seat at the end of the our.
After traveling along for about half an hour.
a lady sitting in front of the countryman
was observed to move uneasily in her seat,
and to cast savage glances at a seemingly re-
spectable mun sitting by her side.
In a few moments afterwards another
lady still further to the front “ became un-
easy," and at last, rising in her seat, requested
if some gentleman in the car would protect
her from on elderly—looking gentleman by
her side, and whom she stated had insulted
her.
A dozen persons offered their mistanoe,
and before the accused could speak in his
own defence his but was jammed over his
eyes and he was dragged to the rear of the
out.
While there. and carrying on with the
avengers a war of words as tkohat the in«
dignity meant, still another ’lndy row. also
seated further up the car, and accused a gen-
tleman sitting behind her, pith improper
conduct. A rush was made for inaulter num-
ber two, but that gentleman vigorously de~
fended himself with a large walking stick
he happened to have (and whids, by the by,
was one cause of tlmlnst trouble. MW
stating that he had indecorionaly beat rap-
ping her ankla under the sent with the ante),
and while the struggle to get at him was still
inprogreas,somebody fuckers-ant ofthe
car shouted “thm’aa snake onlhe'floor.“
A scene then ensued. The ladies In the ear
climbed up on to the seats and many got on
the arms and backs of the same. One elder-
“. can...
market now is the clam, and may therefore
be considered to have a local interest to our
readers. Agreatdeal mightbe writtenabout
the clam if one could only think whatto
write; infact that is the great drawback in
treating any subject For the benefit of
many who reside inland nndarenot intimate
withtliepaqlllnrodor of “fists” and“porgy
chum,” we will address a few remukn The
clam resides near the water, on the sea—beat
shore. We don’t feel alliberty may as to how
he- come there, as we were never quite sure
on that. point ourselves. We never heard of
one being born or of dying a natural death ;
if they grew tough with age, we have eaten
some that must. have heennear two thousand
years old. Viewing them with an artist‘s eye
they have no great beauty. Their cast of
countenance is peculiar. They have a good
neck for a stand up collar. They are built
a good deal like an old-fashioned snufl-box
and open similar. They vary inaize gmtna
half—dollar to a buckwheat cake. They are
very secluded; we never know one to go
away from home. ’Tis safe to leave one
anywhere without hitching. If we were to
have a picture of a clam we should prefer a
profile view, as he. looks fuller in the face
that way. They are frugal and honest, and
do all their business through the bank. The
clam is hunted as the pounce is, with a hoe.
and as an article of food, they can‘t be ex-
celled in their line. To prepare him for the
table—first, obtain the clams ; 2d, remove
the outside wrapper, that is peel them (never
use a razor); 3d, cut of the head just below
the shoulder blade; 4th, wash well in clean
water (without soap) and you have them
ready to cook. When a clam is undressed it
resembles a piece of chamois leather, 1nd
some people pretend that they prefer the
leather to the clam as an article of food, but
we lean toward the clam. The amount nec-
essan' for a meal depends on the number of
eaters. A large number of clams are enough
for several people, and nice verso. By observ-
ing this rule you will always be able to pro-
vide the right quantity. There is just as
much difference in a clam as there is in any
body. A New York clam is no more to be
compared to one of ours than a seven-thirty
bond is to be compared to aoountorfcit script.
The former eats like a bass wood chip, and
is only good for small children to cut their
teeth on. In hunting the clam always go at
low water, else you can‘t buy any. The fact
that they cannot be taken at full tide gave
rise to the adage, “ As happy as a clam at
high water.“ This is all we know about the
clam.

l The Ninth Census Complete.
The following table, prepared by the Con-
sus Bureau at Washington, given the total
population of all the States and Territories
of the Union, by the enumeration of 1870, as
compared with that of 1860. Several state-
ments. purporting to give the result of the
last census, have been floating through the
newspapers, but this is the first that has ap
peared with the ofllcial sanction. It will be
seen that the total population of the toiled
States in 1870 was 38, 538, 180 an increase in
ten years of 7,094,859. This increase is not
so much as was generally expected, but when
it is considered that the great civil war of
the last decade swept away several hundred
thousand citizens, and that, perhaps, as many
emigrants from abroad were discouraged
from coming to our shores from the same
cause, the country has really been doingvety
well. The greatest percentage of incme
is in Nevada, and after it Nebmkn. Two
States only exhibit a decrease, Maine and
New Hampshire. The table is interesting
and instructive:

A compondent of the Philadelphia Hed-
iml and Surgical Reporter says:
“ Being surrounded by these animals, I
found it necessary to keep fruits, butter,
cheese and other articles in boxes made of
hemtock (Allies azmdtna's.) In these boxes
I could keep the most toothsome deliacies
in the cellar with impunity, even though the
box afforded free ventilation, which in many
cues, is highly nemry. '
To test the matter further, I made a box
of dry hemlock boards, perforating each end
of the box with a 7-8 inch circular hole. In-
to this box I put a large healthy at, caught
in hemispherical wire trap, nailed it up se-
curely, put it into a dark quiet place, and
awaited the result. On inspection, at the
end of twenty~four hours, I found that he
had scarcely more than touched the wood.
I returned the box, leaving the rat to his
cogitations, which horn of the dilemma to
choose. At the end of fortyeight hours I
made him another visit. He had evidently
