Time, with its many changes, brought comfort to Doretta, who-obtained a sit uation as governess in a private family, and went abroad with her pupil and her parents. Sidney Rynear left the country village to enter his father's counting house in Now York, vowed eternal con stancy to Dotfltta, and forgot her in six months.

Ignorant of the lauguage, and the laws o| this country, be coufided his schemes to yonr father who muter* took to have his invention pstenled 'and introduced.

A California editor invested in a mule and the fact was chronicled under the heading, "Re markable instance of self-possession." Said one Milwaukee editor of another: "He is one of the lew journalists who can put anything in* bis mouth without fear a£ its stealing any thing;" and when a Wwtern editoMgfote, "We cannot tell , a lie; it waa oour yesterday," his rival quoted his remark with the addition, "The Utter statement is incontrovertible,, but the former?" Said an Idaho journal; , "The weather has been hot again for the last few day#}" the only relief we oould get waa to lie down on the Herald and corner"ourselves with the Bulletin— there Is a great coolftes between them." This kind of coolness often brings about an amnsing interchange of incivilities. A Michigan Journalist declared in his paper that a certain .editor had seven toes. The slandered man thereupon relieved his mind in a "leader," denouncing the the statement as unwarranted, and lis author a*' devoid -of truth and a scoundrel ta boot. The offending gentleman replied that tie never wished it to be understood that all the seven toea were upon one foot, and the victim of the sell was thoroughly laughed at. "We are living at this moment under a despotism." His opponent kindly exclaimed: '*Ou* contemporary means to say he has recently , got married." A newspaper writer asserts that bis ancestors bad been in the habit of living a hundred years. To which another responds: "That must have been before the intioduciinn of capital, punirh* ment." The proprietor of a Western jonrnal announced his intention of Handing fifty dollars on "a hew head" for it. "De not do it," advised a rival sheet; "better keep the money and buy a new head for the editor"—which implied a great deal. atVAtINQ \VII,LIAn TILL, l«»l*r Natrpfcr* S«h RkMitaf Awe »m iMiktn BmuU, » [K«w Turk Bnn ] May I.—The most re markable shoot lug that has ever takeu place li| Monmouth county was dono on the Murphy farm, at Deal JBeacb, one mile north of Asbury Park, yesterday.

Tbe young gentlemen amus ed themselves yesterday, to the alarm and terror of all their friends, by shoot lug apples from one another's heads, at fifteen yards, with Ballard rifles carrying it- 109 calibre balls. The dangerons amusement was began by their Shooting apples held in their outstretched bands. They then agreed to fire at apples placed on their hesds. After measuring the distance, tbe young men removed their bats, placed the aps pics on their bare beads, and took tarns at fhe mark, boring tbe applea with tbe bullets every time. The final shots were fired at the word; that is, each brother pKced an apple ou his bead, and, hold ing a loaded rifle, called one, two, three, fire. At tbe last word both fired. Both apples were bit and rolled oil. The young marksmen said to the Sun reporter, 'why, its perfectly simple and safe. We draw tbe bead on the top of tt..i ro .rflb.«ppl.,Md.f pear* ..

He taxed the well known elastic patience of Dr. Fisk to the last degree, finally the doctor said to him, after a capital act of conduct, "Yon must prepnre your self for a severe whipping; 1 ' the time for which was duly appointed.

Nothing but dust followed the blow. The subject of the discipline was entirely at his ease, and evidently quite unconscious of the stroke. "Take off your coat, sir!" was the. next command, for the doctor was now a little roused.
