Any one who has seen tho rivalry cf the contestants in a Knelling school will appreciate this incident from Edward Ejrcrh'ston'fl reminiscences of his school days, published in ftvitjiirr' Magazine, lie says: It was in the nauio old Bethel school house, about tho samo timo that the master, ono Deneficld, called out tl spelling class of which my mother, then a little girl, wa usually at tlie lie The word given out was "onion." suppose the scholars at the head of th clafis had not recognized the word by its Rpelling in studying their lessons, They all misled it widely, spelling it in the most ingeniously incorrect lasinons, Near tho foot of tho class stood a boy who had never been able to climb up toward tho head. But of tho few word he did know how to spell, one was "onion." When tho word was missoi at the head he became greatly excited twistincr himself into the most ludi crous contortions as it came newrer am' nearer to him. At length the one ya above the eager boy. missed, and the master said "next," whereupon ho ex ultingly swung his hands above his head and came out with "0-n, tin, i o n, ynn, ing-un I'm head, by gosh!" and he marched to the head, while tlie mas ter gave him a blow across the head for swearing.

Mr. C. Cram, who went from thia placo some time einco with two teams carrying 11,000 pounds or govern ment freight to Camp Harney, re turned hero on Thursday. Ho was accompanied by Mr. B. I Jones. They went by the Canyon CitJ' road aeross the Blue Mountains, striking tho Canyon City and Winnemucca road and returned by tho way of the Malheur agency. There wero no In dians at tho ajrency, at Harney, or anywhere on tho road, only tho rum ored presence of a few bucks and two sauaws. who are reported to have wintered at Castle mountain and bo seen thero occasionally. Castle mountain is about four miles north west of tho agency Itlnohart is at the agency, where he has with him a blacksmith and two other men, who are emraired In haulinsr hay, but no sitrn of a single Indian anywhere near. Rinohart's mission among the Piute? near the town of Winnemucca, where he offered tho old Chief Win nemuccaSoOO and Chief Nachez $00 to come to the agency, and offered $" each for every Indian they would bring with them, was entirely fruit less. Netther of tho chiefs would listen to his magnificent offers, and not a single redskin could bo tempt ed to return to the reservation. A New York doctor says that men catch cold through their ankles; but the Chicago Tribune thinks they would not if they looked after their own as anxiously as they look after a pretty ghi's.

JMncIng was an art in those days. A celebrated expert of the timo was Master John Trotter, who is describ ed as having "great fame as a man of knowledge and experience in his profession. He is about fifty years of age, a small, genteel, well-proportioned man, every limb and joint pro claiming that he is formed for his profession, and tho ease and grace with which ho moves on tbo floor evince that he has iost none of bis agility by age. Under the tuition of such a master," tho writer goes on to hope, "we flatter ourselves that in duo timo that we shall bo able to fig ure In a ball-room." That many of the ladies w!.o "figured" at the ball Just referred to were ablo to converse with their foreign partners Is to be Inferred from the advertisement of a Monsieur Bonnemot.

This gentleman announces that ho has been a teacher of the French language two yeara and a half in the town and colleire of Providence. He presents his com plements to the inhabitants of New port, and offers himself to teach French. Of the coiffures worn on this occa sion we can gain some idea from the advertisement f Bcnoni Peck ham, who "informs his customers that he has furnished himself with a new supply of Hair, and is now ready to furnish ladies with braids, commodes, cushions, and curls in the newest fashion.

Samuel Wood worth, the author of 'The Old Oaken Bucket." died at New York in 1S42, aeed 57. He was a printer, and served his appren ticeship at Boston, in tho office of Mayor Ruscll, the publisher of the Siiiiuuu. The'popular and beautiful ballad, for which he is best known, is said to have its origin under the fol lowing circumstances : He was employed In an oihee on the corner of Chesnut and Chambers Streets, in New York. Oao day, with knot of brother typos, ho dropped In at an establishment kept by Mal- lory, on Franklin Street, for tbe pur pose oF taking some brandy and wa ter, which Mallory was famous for keeping. The liquor was excellent and Wood worth seemed inspired by it ; for after taking a draught, he set his glass upon tho table, and smack ing his lips, declared that Mallory's eau de tie was superior to any thing ho had over tasted. ,,No, eaia : comrade, "you are quite mistaken thero was ono thing which in both our estimations, fir surpassed this, in the way of drinking." "What was thnt ?" asked Woodworth, dubiously. "The draught of pure, fresh sprin water that wo used to drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in the well, after our return from the labors cf the field, on a sultry day in sum mer." The tear-drop glistened for a moment in W ood worth's eye. "True, true !" he replied, and soon afterquittedtheplace. Hereturned to tho ollice, grasped the pen, ana in half an hour "The Old Oaken Buck et," ono of the most delightful co&i' positions in our language, was ready. in manuscript, to be embalmed in tho memories of succeeding genera tions."

A good story is told never before in print, of an old fash ioned New Hampshire Democrat who once went down to work for the rich John J. Williams, of Iloxbury, Mass. When voting day came round, Mr. Williams asked his hired man how he was coin? to vote. He replied for tho opposition candidate. Mr. Wil liams said : 'If yeu do so vote I will not have you to work for me a day longer." The hired man then said : "If you dont vote for my candidate I will not work for you a day longer." They confronted each other at the polls, watched each other, and saw that theyj voted opposite tickets. Tho hired man went home, packed up, and demanded an immediate set tlement. Mr. Williams laughed and said : "I did not mean what I said ; I can't get along without you ; you won't go ?" Hired man said : I did mean what I said, I will never work for a man who don't vote the Democratic ticket." And he went home to New Hampshire.
