Cor. Pittsburgh Chronicle.] "When Mr. Terence McFadden died, Up widow made a raffle of her household goods. Out. of all the collection Patsey Oonley drew a three-weeks-old billy gout Patsey saw nothing extraordinary in the goat at first; but when--before it had been a member of his family two days --it butted the baby down cellar, ate up the week's wash that was spread on the mass, and climbed to the top of a fifteen- foot board pile when Mrs. Conley came out at it with the clothes pounder, and looked calmly down at her as it chewed the last ruffle on a night-gown, Patsey set his heart on the kid, and took it un­ der his special protection. He named it Beelzebub. J As Beelzebub increased in size and age, he made it extremely lively for the Conley neighborhood. He was always ready lor a fight, and would eat anything that he came across. He would go a mile out of his way to lunch off a door mat, and it would never do to hang a carpet out, He took especial delight in butting school children over in the street, and eating their lunches, books and satchels. Finally the people got out of humOr 3 with Beelzebub, and they told Patsey he had better keep him in. So he tied a long rope to one of the goat's legs and fastened him to a post. But Beelzebub quietly butted the post down, and then deliberately proceeded to take in the rope. He swallowed it all up to his leg, and was beginning on that when Patsey discovered him, and cut the rope. Mr. Conley was obliged to give Beelze­ bub a holiday now and then. On one of these, last summer, he Wandered down by. the river side. Two boys were in swimming and Belzy recognized in one of them a boy who had a few days before fed him a pack of lighted fire crackers. The goat walked leisurely up to the spot where the boy's clothing lay, and ate up a pair of pants and two shirts. Every time the boys made as if they were com­ ing out at him ho put himself in the shape of a buck-beer sign, and they went baok. He kept the toys in the water three hours. On another of his holidays, a few weeks ago, Beelzebub acquired an ac­ complishment which for a time gave the most unmitigated pleasure to his master. Laborers were engaged in enlarging a cut on a railroad a mile down the track. The goat, hearing the noise of the blasts, went to see if there was anything in the job for him. Some of tile men lived a long distance away, and oarried their dinners with them. The bright tin lunch pails standing here and there along the track struck the eye of Belzy. He had smelt of one, pranced about it a while, and at last, with one grand butt, sent it flving down the track, sestt- its contents along the route, and giving it the Appearance of a flattened oyster can. The result of this so delighted Beelzebub that he forsook all other pleasures, and laid in ambush about the cut waiting for dinner pails. Patsey became aware of his amiable pet's new diversion, and daily bore him company to the spot to enjoy the fun. By and by the men took to hiding their pails, and Beelzebub grew morose and low spirited. One Jay last week Patsey and his pet walked'down to the cut. Beel­ zebub seemed more than usually sad. He hadn't seen a dinner pail in some days. Suddenly, as they neared the cut, Belzy became strangely elated. Ahead of them, near the track, stood a pail. It was a beauty, and had been placed on a stone, affording a splendid mark for the goat. Patsey rolled on the ground, he felt so good. Belzy fairly gloated over the prospect* He stopped within a few paces of the pail. He reared up on his hind legs and pranced about in a perfect frenzy of joy. He shook his head and made several feints of bearing down on the pail, as if revel­ ing awhile in sweet expectancy. Pres­ ently Belzy waltzed back a little further. He threw his head down, and, with a bl-a-a-t that expressed all the unadulter­ ated cussedness of his nature, went for that pail as if he had been shot out of a cannon. He struck it like a battering ram. There was a sound as of a thunder clap, and by the pieces of goat, rock and earth tllat fell thickly about, Patsey knew that Beelzebub had been deceived, and would never, never butt dinner pail more. Belzy had butted a can of nitro­ glycerine. The Bewilderment a Baby Caused Its Papa. The following from an ecstatic father refers to an event not uncommon in matrimonial life. By abrupt changes of theme the writer succeeds in unwittingly attributing the most remarkable qualities to the innocent darling of which he is so proud to be called parent: DKAR SISTEB : I now take my seat and sit down to take this opportunity to inform you that I am a daddy at last. Abbe has got a nice fat baby, and we hope these few lines may find you enjoying the same blessing. Now thin is to be strictly a business letter. Firetly, aa I said be­ fore, Abbe hats got as nice a baby as ever made up faces. Nextly, I have swapped away old Buckskin, and I think I have a pretty nice horse; it is & girl and weighs nine pounds (I mean the baby), and it is as fat as butter and ard in order that change may be made in effecting the sale of a slate pencil. The newly-elected School Board is expected to remedy the evil. . The Cincinnati Disaster. •*Hie general defects in the construc­ tion of our public halls and the constant danger of panics among the crowds ac- cnsrorned to gather in them is conspicu­ ously brought to mind by the horrible catastrophe at a Cincinnati theater. Without any real cause, without fire, without the giving way of a portion of the building, but simply in a panic which resulted from a false alarm, nine persons were actually trampled to death and many others seriously injured. It is not too much to say that such an acci­ dent would be simply impossible if the common dictates of prudence and a de­ cent regard for the safety of life had been observed in the construction and management of the house where the panic occurred. Without any special information as to the construction of the so-called opera house where the disaster occurred, we are sure that it must be in violation of every rule of safety, and that it lacks every reasonable facility for the rapid exit of large numbers of peo­ ple. Like too many ether of our public halls, it is probably reached by the as­ cent of a long stairway from a narrow passage, and practically hemmed in so that there are but one or two contracted passages for getting in and out of it, and possibly only in one direction. Yet the local laws of every large city ought to strictly prohibit the erection ol any opera house, theater, or public hall, un­ less, like McVicker's Theater of this city, it is surrounded on all sides by a wide open space, with many openings in the shape of doors and wide windows from all four sides. It should also be provided that every balcony and gallery shall have a direct and separate exit to the street or alley adjoining. No build­ ing not constructed in this way affords adequate protection in the case of fire or other accident, or even in case of an unfounded panic. We assume that the Cincinnati "opera house" was not so constructed, because McVicker's The­ ater. in this city, is the only public build­ ing among all of its kind that is so con­ structed, because the great majority of public halls throughout the country lack these safeguards, and because a baseless alarm of fixe resulted in the crushing of people to death, smothering and man­ gling them in the impotent rush of the crowd to get out. It is certain that the stairway leading to the balcony was nar­ row and crooked, for it was in an angle of this stairway that most of the lives were lost.--Chicago Tribune. One Moment. In a popular down-town restaurant there was a waiter who had an unpleas­ ant habit of saving " One moment/' „ ,1 I Of.horwiao V>.~ "ft has got a good strong pair of lungs. She has , got blue eyes and a dimple in the chin (I mean the baby now), and juBt the prettiest mouth that ever opened to receive pap; and, judging from her teeth, I should think she is about six years old (I mean the horse now). She is sound, smooth and kind (I mean the horse or baby either now), and the doctor says she is the fairest he ever saw without exception (he means the baby). I got twenty-five dollars to boot (not on the baby though, for in its case the boot was on the other foot, and two or three sizes larger, as near as I can find out). 8he is as hearty as a pig, ate an egg, a biscuit, and drank three cups of tea for dinner (I mean Abbe). She is getting along Dicelv, and if she don't have any bad luck she will get along first- rate. She is troubled with disorders of the stomach, and tliev sav this is a sign of the colic (I mean the baby). 1 hope it is, for the nurse says colicky babies never die. She talks out of her nose, as she takes snuff (the nurse I mean now). There, I've been reading this over, and I see plainly that I ain't fit to write. The amount of it in, i am fiuetrated. I am a happy daddy, and that accounts for it: so you must excuse me this time. S. H. S. THE vending of pencils, pens, and other articles by teachers in the public schools is attracting attention and arous­ ing protests in Boston. The practice interrupts the lessons and distracts the minds of the pupils, and is productive of no advantage except a pecuniary one to the teacher. The machinery of a school is sometimes brought to a stand- r"H.S a gOOu uabureu, una­ ble man, who did his work well, but he was unable to break himself of his one failing. If, while he was wiping a knife or a spoon, a customer asked him for the salt, he would say "One moment," finish the knife, and then pass the salt. If he was polishing glasses, and a gen­ tleman who had a cup of coffee beside him asked for the sugar, the waiter would not set the glass down, serve the customer, and then resume his labor, but •'One moment,7' and the sugar after­ ward. If the customer failed to see it in that light and repeated his request, the waiter would give his napkin a de­ precatory flourish and impart to his re­ ply a slight accent of reproach, " O-one moment, sir." Last week the waiter went over to Jer­ sey to visit some friends, and after a day of innocent hilarity he returned to the railroad station, from which he was to embark for home. While waiting for the train he strolled out on the track and stood looking down the long perspective of the road. He did not observe an ex press train that was booming down from an opposite direction, "but he heard the warning voice of a man on the platform scouting: " Get off the track! Get off the track!" "One moment, sir!" was the invol­ untary reply, and he tarried for an in­ stant to straighten a kink in his watch chain; but the express train was in a hurry, and in one moment he had gone where moments are as years.--New York Sun. Shocking Brutalities in Cubti. A gentleman who has lately arrived in New York from Havana gives an account of the execution of ten persons, whioh took place on the 25th ult., on a planta­ tion in Cuba call El Santo Cristo. This plantation is owned by Francisco Gon­ zales Arango, and is situated in Vuelta de Abajo, near Quibicon, in the juris­ diction of BejucaL It seems that a female slave resisted the advances of the overseer of the plantation, who then told such stories about the woman that her owner ordered her to be severely whipped. When her punishment was about to be inflicted, it was found that the woman would soon become a mother. Her fellow-slaves hoped that on account of this she might escape, but she was whipped in a terrible manner. During the whipping her child was born, and the husband and six other slaves then plotted to kill their master, in revenge for the brutality practiced upon the woman, but, failing to find him at the time, they killed the overseer. Arango, the owner, reported the killing of the mayoral as only the first step toward causing an insurrection among his slaves in favor of the insurgents, and that those engaged were the conspirators. After a trial by a court martial, in which three were sentenced to be shot, another trial took place, and seven were condemned to death. The sentence was soon execu­ ted on Arango's plantation. The mother of the husband of the woman who was subjected to the bastinado was com­ pelled to stand first in the line of slaves who were paraded to witness the shoot­ ing. Outward Defects. •"I like to see everything carried on on a grand scale," said Jenkins to his ladylove the other evening ; "I like to see a person well dressed and polite, but above all I like to see a man neat, and free from outward defects." " Yes," she replied, with a wicked smile; " but, Mr. Jenkins, why on earth don't you buy five cents' worth of caustic and burn that wart off your nose?" Jenkins is no longer a critic. No Dogs Allowed in the Cars. It happened the other day on the Le­ high Yalley Railroad. The train had just left Easton, and the conductor was going his first round, when he observed a, small white dog with a bushy tail and bright black eyes sitting cozily on the seat beside a young lady, so handsome that it made his heart roll over like a lop-sided pumpkin. Bat duty was duty, and he remarked, in his most depreca­ tory manner: "I'm very sorry, madam, but it's against the rules to have dogs in the passenger cars." " Oh! my, is that so ?" and she turned up her lovely brown eyes at him, be­ seechingly. " What in the world will I do ? I can't throw him away. He's a Christmas present from my aunt." "By no means, miss. We'll just put him in a baggage-car, and he'll be just as happy as a robin in spring." " What! put my nice white dog in a nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage-car? "I'm awfully sorry, miss, I do assure you, but the rules of this company are as inflexible as the laws of the Medes and them other fellows, yeu know. He shall have my overcoat to lie on, aiyl the brakemaa shall give him bread and water every time he opens his mouth," " I just tliink it's awful mean, so I do; and I know somebody will steal it, so they will," and she showed a half notion to cry that nearly broke the conductor's heart; but he was firm, and sang out to the brakeman, who was playing a solo on the stove- " Here, Andy, take this dog over into the baggage-car and tell 'em to take just the best kind of care of him." The young lady poutecl, but the brake- man reached over and picked the canine up as tenderly as though it was a two weeks' old baby, but as he did so a strange expression came over his face, like a wave of cramp colic, and he said hastily to the conductor: " Here, you just hold him a minute till I put this poker away," aad he trot­ ted out at the car door and held on the brake wheel, shaking like a man with ague. The conductor no sooner had his hands on the dog than he looked around for a hole to fall through. "Wh--wh--why, this is a worsted dog." "Yes, sir," said the little miss, de­ murely. " Didn't you know that ?" " No, I'm awfully sorry to say I didn't know thatand he laid the Christmas dog down on the owner's lap, and walked out on the platform, where he stood half an hour in the cold, trying to think of a hymn tune to suit the worst sold man on the Lehigh Valley Road. METZLKR & Co., the most extensive dealers in reed instruments in London, pronounce the Mason & Hamlin "the finest reed instrument in the world." AnCT..",t!ia T. Tnjjxpiin and Chevalier Lemmens, the famous harmonium play­ ers, are using these organs at their Lon­ don concerts. These are fine compliments for our fa­ mous American makers, upon which we congratulate them, adding that they are thoroughly deserved.--New York Phil­ harmonic Journal. THIS seems to be a good year for owl stories in Maine. A boy in Foxcroft named Bardett set a small trap for rab­ bits. The next morning it was gone. He set a larger one, and, visiting it the next day, found in the trap a large owl firmly secured, and having attached to him the missing trap. The owl meas­ ured five feet from tip to tip. WE would no more be without Dob­ bins' Electric Soap (made by Cragin & Co., Philadelphia), in our family, than without a stove. It is pure, and does its own work without the main strength of the washerwoman. Try it. " Fact* are Stubborn Things." Thousands of human beings are yearly borne on the swift current of disease down to the grave, just because they do not possess a suffi­ cient knowledge of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, and the first salutation is, " How are you ?" or " How is your health ?" The re­ ply frequently is, " Oh, I am well, with the ex • ception of a cold." Most persons lightly regard a cold. Reader, do you know that a cold is one of the most dangerous of maladies ? A cold not only clogs up the pores of the entire system, and retards circulation, but it is productive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to Consump­ tion. '• Oh," you Bay, " It is nothing but a cold in my head." True; but that cold is really a mild form of Catarrh, and if not arrested in its course will become chronic. Catarrh is one of the most disagreeable, offensive affections in the catalogue of diseases. - The passage to the nose is obstructed, the sense of smell impaired, and there is a disagreeable sensation of pres­ sure in the head. In the more advanced stages, there is a discharge having an offensive o&or. If the disease be allowed to continue in its course, thick, hard incrustations will form in the head, the bones of which sometimes become softened and break away in pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer from such an annoy­ ing, disgusting disease, when they can just as well be cured of it ? Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms of Catarrh; in fact, it is the only sure and safe remedy which has yet been offeree! to the public. Many harsh, irri­ tating preparations may, for a time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms, but they do not cure the disease. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is soothing and healing in its effects, and when used with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, according to direotions, does not fail to affect a cure. Sold by all Druggists.

Probably there U no complaint that afflicts the human system which is so little understood tit the present time as some of the varied forms of Kidney Complaints. There is no disease which causes such acute pain or more alarming in if s results thnn when the kidneys fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid and other poison­ ous substances which the blood accumulates in ita circu­ lation through the system. If from aiiy cause the kidneys fail to perform the func­ tions devolving upon t hem, t he cumulations are taken up by the absorbents and the whole system thn>wn into a state of disease, causinK (treat pnin and sultoring, and veiy often immediate death. Hence the importance of keeping the kidneys and blood in a healthy condition, through which all the Impurities of the blood must pass. PAIN IN THE BAUK.

THE BEST MEDICINL EAST MABSHFIELD, Aug. 22, 1870. MR. STEVENS: D f i r S i r -- I am seventy-one years of age ; have suffered many years with Kidney Complaint, Weakness in my Hack and Stomach. I was induced fc/ friends to try your VKGF.T1NK, and I think it the best medicine for weak­ ness of the Kidneys I ever used. I have tried manv rem­ edies for this complaint, and never found so much relief ns from the VEGKTINR. It strengthens and invigorates the whole svstem. Muny of my acquaintances have taken it. and I believe it to be good for all the complaint* lor which it is recommended. Yours truly, JOSIAH H. SHERMAN. F R O I O U N C E B l i C U R A B L E . BOSTON, May m, 1871. H. R. STEVF.KS, KSQ. : Dear .Sir--I have been badly afflicted with Kidney Com­ plaint for ten years; have suffered great pain in niy back, hips and side, with great difficulty in passing urine, which was often and in verj^sniall quantities, frequently accom­ panied with blood and excruciating pain. 1 have faithfully tried most of the popular remedies recommended for my complaint; 1 have been under the treatment of some of the most skillful physicians in Bos­ ton, all of whom pronounced my case incurable. This was my condition when I was advised by a friend to. try the VhGK.TINK, and I could see the good eflects from the first dose I took, and from that moment 1 kept on im­ proving until I was entirely cured, taking in all, I should think, about six bottles. It is indeed a valuable medicine, and if I should be afilicted agi.in in the same way 1 would give a dollar for a dose, if I could not get it without. Respectfully, J. M.
