Have you ever indulged, gentle reader, to the luxurious reverie of a good country din- ‘ ner. ’ Away fnbm the conventionality of city hum, the purgatorisl ofiices of efiicious at~ tendsnts, and the invincible yet eternal odour which ever clings like departed spirits on the grave of its predecessors. Away in the pure sequestered spots, where blows the ireshsuing breeze of health, where blossoms sweet breath out there rich perfume and flowers of a thousand hues bedecl: the face of nature. What blissful visions of cozyncss spring from the pregnant thought, what Heals of snowy linen rise in perspective, while mountains of rich delicacies so crowd the festive board it fairly groans beneath the weight, the spotless cleanliness and easy grace of the presiding Martha who moVes with noiseless tread. preparing for the hun- gry solu. like a presiding angel. Such were some of my mental anticipations as I calmly waited for dinner at the city of Glenarm. I confess I had closed my eyeson the real and tangible, and my olfactory organs to the smellable, as the front of the Hotel was pos- sessed with swine, which from their horrid appearance needed but a slight connection to ally them to their ancient brethrenâ€"pos- sessed with devils, The burning heat of a noonday sun extracted their natural aroma in an intense degree, but to an hungry man " Otto dc Swine“ serves but to aggravate the pangs of hunger, and by a process of‘ mysterious metaphysics actually promises a “swinologious" appetite. Forty minutes of mental anxiety ; forty minutes of culinary meditations. which in their profundity would have nnseatcd a modern Toyer. then amidst the solemn pomp and uncertain sound of a cracked bellâ€"accompanied by a well or. ganized curve oi the landlord’s backboneâ€"l was ushered into the august presence of tho dining-room. \Vas ita dream .’ \Vell might I tremble as on a barbarous chair I took my seat. A dream indocdâ€"-â€"mr Worse, a base delusion and a snare, a horrid fact. Shall I ever forget the pang of horror which took possession of my inward parts while gazing on this solemn mockery of dinner? Will that unclean vision of vile discolored linen ever fade from my memory? In nnntter- able agony I gazed upon the funeral proces- sion, led off by the crust stand undertaker. containing some vile vinegar, blumcrested mustard. and diabolical salt; the corpsc.a piece of spotted pork anointed by a fried egg. the pall bearers six plates containing three biscuits each, arranged three on a side. while my own long serious lace did duty as chief moamer.

FALL SHOWS. which the knife went through with that'pe. culier thud which is conatently heard on the cutting board of e ehoouaker. The taste by no means belied the appearance. for by a delicate perception l readily believe it had been tried in a veesel where the tears of a generation of its predeoesecre remained- ~ unweshed. The crushing defeat of the pork accomplished, my attention was directed to the solitery fried egg, ita co~partner in mis- ery, while I carefully turned it round. for in- spection the possible question of gender of this impoesible looking article preaented it~ sell as a subject worthy of consideration ; was it masculine, feminine or neuter ? Could I by any process of reasoning pronounce the letter, the subject would have received in- stant dismissal, but ever and anon csme the poser, which 1 Fired into mental activity, ‘ my cranium fairly bristled with the pro and con of the case, while certain ancient theories of rooster's eggs, inherited by tradition from my ancestors, vaguely floated on my mental horizon. The colour was unusually deep, ‘ the taste remarkably strong, while the yolk was soft and flaccid. All at once, as by the spirit of revelation, light dawned upon the subject, and this is my solution. What need for forty minutes delay in the preparation of this disgraceful meal! That vile girl had in the attrocity of her diabolical heart most nu- mercifully chased that poor hen through the fence, and up and down the yard. with a broom, for the space of thirty-five minutes, to produce an evolution of natureâ€"the arri- val of that identical egg. N o wonder it tasted strong. I don’t believe there was breath enough left in the girl, or the hen,‘to give a thanksgiving cackle. I have watched with astonishment the process of steam hatching, but never before witnessed the re- sult of express laying; so I gazed in wonder- ing admiration at the latest scientific novel- ty, butâ€"J didn’t eat it. Hunger, truly, needs no sauce, but it craves satisfaction. As a last resort 1 came down like an ava- lanche on the biscuit palLbearers, but it was a dead sell as they were as crisp as Egyptian mummies and about as tasteless. Frustrated at every point I was compelled as an act of religious duty to take up a collection. Sol. emnly rising from my chair I proceeded to deposit the pull-bearers under their respec- tive plates, gracefully turned over the scien- tific egg on the spotted pork. artistically se- curing the latter by a three-pronged fork, amalgamated the vile vinegar and blueocrest- ed mustard. distributed indiscriminatelyithe salt of the earth, shook the same of my feet as a testimony against them, paid a quarter to the landlord, whipped up my team and departed from my first and last dinner at at the city of Glenarm.

On Wednesday night, 3 little after 12 o’clock, same" frame house on Mon my street. owned by Mr. Louis Lela» bet-tie and occupied by Mr. George Van- cleifi‘, caught fire from some unknown cause, and the flames had. made such headway before Mrs. Vancleifl' awoke and gave the alarm, that the family, consisting of the parents and two child- ren had barely time to escape in their night-clothes. As that part of the vil» lnge is thinly settled, Mr. F. Sandford was the only neighbor at the fire soon enough to render any assistance ; and so few knew of it that not more than u dozen were present at any time. The house was insured, we are told, fox $300 but there was no insurance on the con- tents, about half of which Were destroy- ed with the dwelling. The fire broke out in the kitchen, and there is a rumor that it was caused by lightning 3 but we have not been able to learn that there is any evidence that such was the case. One day last week a little boy bew- tween seven and eight years of age, son of Mr. John T. Thompson of this village fell from the fence in front ofhis father's house to thesidemdk and put the elbow of his right arm out of joint. It was not at first Umnght that he was much hurt; but as the injured limb swelled a great deal and was very painful, Dr. Wilson was called in next morning and soon discovered what was the matter. The patient having been put under the influence of chloroform, which was ads ministered by Mr. John N ngent, the dislocated joint was set, and the little: fellow will soon be playing about again; but the accident will probably be a caution to him against climbing fences any mornâ€"Gazette.
