MISCELLANY
A VER MONTE R.
Elhan is a stout Vermonter, and tells of
h3 tribulations in a style that must cause
the tears to gush forth from their tempora
ry repositories by the force of laughter:
'Oae tiny towards sundown. I was goin'
by a shop in Middle street that looked
wonderful slick, there was all manner of
candy and josamints an' what nnts nt the
winder; and then there was signs whh larg-e
X!d letters on to em hangnr round the
door, tellin' how they sold soda, mad nn'
ice cream there. I sz tew myself, 'I've
hern a gool deal tell about this ice cream,
an' now if I wont see what they are made
of So I put my hnnds intew rny pockets,
nrxl wajiced in kinder careless, and sez
tewu chap standin' behind ihe counter.
'Do yoti. keep any ice creams here ?
'Yes, sir,' ses he 'how much'll you
have V
'I considered a minnit on't, an' sez I 'a
piat. sir.'
'The young feller'd face swelled out, an'
he like tew larfed rirht out, but arler a
while he asked
'You say a pint, sir?'
'Sartin,' sez I but p'raps yon dont retail,
so I dont mind takin' a quart.'
'Wal, don't you think, the feller snorted
rite out. Tell yer whot, it made me feel a
sorter pison, and I gin him a look that
made him look sober in 'bout a minnit; an'
when I clenrhed my first an' looked so at
him' here Mr. Spike favored us with a
most diabolical expressions of coutenance
'he hauld in his horns about the quickest,
an'hmded me a quart of the stuff as per
lite as could be. Wall, I tasted a mouth
full of it an' foitd it as cool as the nor'h
side of Bethel Hill in Jeunewary. I'd hi ff
a mind tew spit it out but jest ihen I seen
the confectionary chap grinnin' behind the
door, which riz my spunk. Gall smash it
nil, Ihinks I, I'll not let that white livurd
monkey think I'm afeard; I'll eat the dar
ned stuff if it freezes my in'ards. 1 tell yer
what, I'd rather skin'd a bear or whipped
h wild cat, but 1 went it, I eat the hull in
about a minit.'
'Wall, in about a quarter of nn hour I
begun to feel a kinder gripy about here,'
continued Ethfin pointing to the lower par!
of his stomach, " an' kept on feehn no bet
ter very fast, till at hist it seemed as tho'
I'd got a, steam ingine sawin' shingles in
me.'
I sot down in a cheer an' bent myself
up like a nut cracker, thinkin I'd grin an'
bfar"j(; but I couldn't set still ; I twisted
and squirmed about like an angel worm on
H'hook.till at last the chap that gin uie
the cream, and who had bin lookin' and
snicRerin,' says tew me.
Mister, what alts you V
cAils nie V sed I. 'that darned stuff of
yourn is freezin' up my daylights !'
Ethan required a great deal of 'docterin'
before he was ?set to rights' after the quart
of ice cream V
. 'LOOK AT THE RIGHT SIDE.
Away with long faces! What is the use
of looking.as if you had a season ticketfor

of the family.

to run away, which was very fortunate,

AN OUTRAfJF.OUS CASE.
A member of th First Ward l'olice,
named Frank Shelby, was arrested yes
terday, to arfswer the charge of seducing
and having adulterous connection with
his own step daughter, a beautiful young
tzirl about iourteen years of age. It ap
pears that Mr. Shelby and his wile sep
arated some months ago. Mr. Shelby
charged Mrs. Shelby with improper con
duet, and she accused InmwitlT wishing
to ruin her daughter by a former hus
band. About the time she left him, he
applied for letters of guardianship, and
Mrs. Shelby resisted the application.
The Court was convinced that Shelby
would not be a proper guardian, and re
fused to appoint him. Immediately af
terward the girl was mising. Shelby
denied all knowledge of her where
abouts. Mrs. Shelby was almost dis
tracted, and made every possible effort
to find her child, but all in vain.
She applied to officers, but they would
not or could not do anything. She ap
pealed to Mayor Snelbaker, to have the
matter investigated, but lu; declined do
ing anything until some proof could be
found of Mr. Shelby's agency in abduct
ing the Lrirl or the lm:1 coujd be produ
ced.
Shelby had acknowledged to his 'wife
that he knew where the girl was, and
had threatened that he would have a
still younger step-daughter, whom Mis.
Shelby, had under her charge. De
spairing of finding her eldest daughter
and alarmed lest she should lose the
o:her, Mrs. Shelby left the city, and took
her youngest child, named Mary, to her
relatives for safety. Since Mary, who
is a!out twelve years of age, has been
there, letters have been sent to her ask
ing her to run away.
Soon after Mrs. Shelby left the city,

ONE OF THE " WIDE-AWAKES."
We have sr often recorded the fleecing
of Jolly Green by the ball-and safe game,
pocket book dropping', and kindred opera
tions of New York sharpers, that it is quite
refreshing to light upon one instance of the
fiiilure of an artlully contrived scheme.
Here it is, written to Tie Wilmington (Del.)
Journal from one of the leading hotels of
the City : v
' I will relate to j ou a little occurrence
which took place to-day from this hotel.-
After a 9 o'clock breakfast I was sitting at
a window smoking, when a very decentljr
dressed lellow. rather sum. and imn jyisag;;
tr.'ok a seat r.car me ; a chat was'coriinc
ed between us, when, very soon, he repre
sented himself a Georgian. I observer!
him, as I thought, pretty closely, and I be
Heved 'could discover the appearance of a
southerner in hun. He stated that he had
arrived yesterday with two other friends,
and th;it. from btu'ng up pretty late, they
h;ul indulged rather too freely in cham
pagne that one of his friends was rather
indisposed, and he feared that he would
have a chill, having been troubled with
them before he left home. lie then slated
that he desired to see Greenwood Cemete
ry, and proposed, if I w is not engaged, to
take a rule over, accompanying him. Hav
ing determined in my own mind, previous
to his solicitation, to go over, I agreed to
accompany him. Off we started, and, as
we passed through the commodious passage-way
out, he addressed another gen
tlemanly looking fellow, who refused to go,
saying he disliked lo leave William, (as 1
understood him.) dreading the return of
his chill This, you observe, corroborated
with his first statement.
We got into an omnibus and down to
the ferry we rode, he paying fare, observ
ing that I could pay back. Across and
into another omnibus we got, the tax still
filling on him. We arrived. He ha 1 ob
tained three tickets of entrance in the Cem
etery, which he stated when he made the
proposition to me to accompany him. At
tiie entrance gate he drew lrom his pockel
a very fine looking wa:ch. attached, ap
parently, to a very tine gold chain, and re
marked that his litne and the clock on the
Capitol were very near together; and this
drew my attention to his watch, a3 it was
intended to do, no doubt, though I made
no remark, but noticed the dirlerence in
time was very little.
When we got in, he rather opposed my
opinion as to the first course we should
take; 1, however, yielded the point, and
after a long cruise, in rather an unsettled
part or, i.t least, a place where none of
the workmen were insight we approach
ed another fine-looking, genteel dressed
man, who observed that he wis a stranger,
belonged to Ohio, but had been from home
some six yonrs, and had just returned, by
ihe way of the East Indies, but two or
three days since, and was walking through,
looking for some frends from whom he
had separated Soon after our meeting,
we approached a monument of some mar
iner, and my friend (as he supposed he had
made himself) walked in front and took a
seat, attracting our attention to ihe front of
the monument. On going in front, this
Ohio man pulled his handkerchief from his
pocket, and in doing so. he dropped a pa
per, when I informed him of the fact. He
stooped and picked it up, staling that if he
had been alone lie might not have observ
ed it, and consequently would have lost
what he prized very highly ; and. on open
ing the paper, he took out a most beautiful
little black ball, saying it had been present
ed by some commander of a slijip, and that
the Chinese had invented it lo'carry their
day's use of opium in, so as not to be de
lected ; that although it appeared so very
solid, yet it was otherwise; and that there
was a secret spring which opened to a
small space in the center, and in that space
the opium was kept by ihein, and that he
had neter found any one to open it. He
handed it to the Georgian, saying we could
try while he stepped off a few rods; in
this time the Georgian had opened it, and
took from ihe centre a small pidce of paper,
rolled up. whieh he handed to me, saying.
Now we will have some fun from this fel
low.' lie returned, the Georgian remark
ing that he had opened it. The Ohioan
denied it, as impossible. The Georgian
stated that he had, ami there was not any
thing in it, and remarked, 1 1 will give you
two dollars lo open it.'
Ohioan ' You seem to be excited about
it.'
Georgian 'I am; I will bet you one
hundred dollars there is nothing, or thai
there is no paper in it I'
Ohioan 1 1 am willing to bet j'Oii from
$500 to 1.000 there is a piece of paper in
it !! '
Georgian pulls out his money, said he
had but 11 orl2 in money, but there
was a check of $1,100 he would bet.
Ohioan pulls out his pocket-book, counts
his money on the spot, and says: ' I here,
Sir, is 1,500 I will bet you, if you will
put up the money, but I will not have the
check.
Georgian applies to me : ' Will you let
me have what money, you have till we get
back to the Hotel ibis fellow seems sd
posiiive wh eh lie! I him 'we have opened
if,-1 want hu money.! How; iriiich t ave
you got?' 4 But a hide ? , , - '

1 No, 1 cannot Tarn opposed to" the
principle ol oetimg1 and cannot aid you.'
Georgian ' But as a Southern' friend,
win you ienif nlfe -hatmorieyou tare ?'
Georgian I -will deposit the- check as
security.' '" - v '
jLnat.oid- in the matter which I so
much ooppose.1 -

until we re,t back,-to the boteLl.. v i
io I will oot and jnow lei-us separate ,
go my course, and you and the Ohioan
may act as you please.' ? , t
I left thefri, was followed by --the Geor
gian, soTiciting my friendship, which wa
still refused, with my hand on a good re
volver, in my pocket, .The Georgian then'
left me, saying he would turn' arid-solicit
the Ohioan to take the check, and i went
my way, observing the Bcenery, buf keep
ing a look-out for the strangers, neither of ,
wnicn j nave met wub since.' -j r
Now, Messrs. Editors, althourh was
' green,' yet the plan taken into considera
tion was certainly a deep laid scheme.
A'partj in the hotel to sanction tbe story'
of oile sick friend, the ticket for three, an
other party eight miles off stationed -to car
ry out tho design, the attraction of the
watch; his apparent unacquaintednes
wuh the city and nppearance airoundj vtf
well calculated to take a TSouthsrier .inl alt
alone in a place like New-Vork : arid thja'
may benefit Some poor green-horn like rnyr
self, by bringing him to the' conclusion to
trxit no one, unless he has been previously
acquainted with him. "-' '
As an offset to the abore, here fs a" rela
tion in The Baltimore Argiit Bhowln a,'
verdancy hitherto unparalleled: '
At an early hour on Saturday morning,
while a country dealer from Anne Artmdle
was standing in the market beside-his r
wagon of country produce, a fashionably
attired, young man came up, entered into cC
conversation, in the course of which, he
refharked Jhat he was agent of a hotel,
and wished to purchase for the proprietor
and use thereof several quarters of veal,
fifiy dozen eggs, and some hundred ppnrndr
of butter. As the articles named consti
tuted the country dealer's stock in trade, -he
began to eulogize them for cxcelleot
quality and unparalleled cheapness, and ,
a: length it was agreed that both should'
proceed together to the hotel, t where the
smooth-tongued sharper alleged 5 that lb'
proprietor would doubtless conclude ihe
bargain forthwith and pay the, dealer for.
all tbe stock in. solid guld apd silver ,De
lighted, with the idea, .oMisposing pf hia,
goods on such prompt and advantageous
terms, the countryman left his wagon in
charge of his little son, nnd proceeded to
meet the hotel-keeper without adelay Iri
a few momenta afterward, as both were,
crossing Pratt-st. Bridge to the. SupposecU
place of destination, they w'ere sYoppetf4y
a slender youth, whose eoapy locks"w'er9
shaded by a white hati- He wa3 . awstran-
ger, he stated, just arrived in the city, with
a very valuable, newly discovered; article,-,
which could not fail to make the fortune of
its possessor. Saying this, he pulled from
his pocket a dark-looking powder, folded;
in a white paper, and stated that any one, ,
by sprinkling three pinches of this powder,
upon water of any extent, in one-half hour
thereafter all the fish within three miles',
square would become mesmerized and
drawn in a solid mass up to the feet of the1
powder-sprinkler", who could thus secure
fish, eels, &c ,in any quantity, without the
trouble or delay of seines, nets,' hooks or
lines. A great discovery this, Uruly,
thought the credulous countryman, while
his conductor made light of the affair, and'
urged him lo continue his way to the ho-;
tel. While hat thereupon stated thai be.
was willing ta sell the secret for . making
the wonderful powder for 850,, and as . av
proof of its efficacy, udded that "within the".
time specified be could have'all tbe fish ia"
the falls floating beneath their feet- ; .'
The conductor of the countryman sneer
ed palpably at this assertion, and white hat
expressing his willingness'to prove the mat
ter by a heavy wager, pulled forth $30 tn
notes, nnd defied the -others to cover the
amount. The pretended hotel asrent could
only find in his wallet a,$10f bilb, and in
a confident tone of triumph, requested the
countryman to exchange for, him with
two fifties, i he unsuspecting dealer wish
ing to keep in with such an exjepsiye cus;
tomer in prospective, and .becoming,. jre'ally
interested in witnessing . the experiment.
handed over two genuine fifties, 'end recei-1
ved tbe flimsy 'in exchange.; The bet was
then made with an agreement that both
hold their own stakes, after which with due
solemnity a pinch of tne powder wis th'rowrt
upon the water below.Itva few moments
the "hotel agent" became, apparently'" so
much interested that he declared the pro
prictor of his house must, also witness the
experiment remarking to the countryman
at the same time that suCb an arrangement
would be so muclv more convenient, as it
would enable both to perfect the sale of the ,
articles spoken of without further iroubla.";
The speaker thereupon departed,, and af-'
ter patiently remaining for the remainder of -the
specified term, white hat, with a tnost
melancholy expression, acknowledged that
the experiment had failed, and handed" tiii"
50 note over to the country -dealer with
strict injunctions to deliver the same over
to the " Hotel Agent' when he.Tetured,
which would doubtless be in a few min
utes. Away went the iisb-powder man,
and that was tbe last , seen of; him or. tbe
agent, notwithstanding the credulous deaU
er,"in the hope -of seeing ibo latter, loitered
around the bridge; until compelled jhough
uneasiness to return to his wagor where
his son informed' him "that a short time .af-t
,ter his departure, the hotel agent,- appear-
ing -wun a servant man, receivea ana car-.,
ried off arju arte r of. veal, arid a'; basket -'of
eggsyon represeniing to the lad that hifa
then wished him to send the articles round;
to-the hotel, that they , might be paid for
upon-delivery to the proprietor. -i.JThe e
wilde red countryman - then; began to snnff
one of those long-tailed a nimah called "te
rat,"- and bis exasperation burst alt bounds,
when he discovered a short lime afterward
that all the notes received frorfi) tbe "Agent"
and Fish Powder" were Sapon' the ol J.
