P- at Woods- town, determined to have their Lodge room, done up clean and nice, and it was resolved unanimously that Mrs. K. should be employed to do the job, After the meeting adjourned, the guardian, who knew the inquisitive character ot Mrs. tt.., procured a billy goat and placed him in a closet that was kept as a reservior for the. secret things. He then informed the lady of l he wishes ot the Lodge, and requested her to come early next morning, as he would then he at leisure to show her what was and what was not to be done. Morning came and with it Mrs. K., with . her broom brushes, pails, tubs, fcc, prepared and armed for the job, and found the guardian waiting lor her. " Now, madam, said he, " I'll tell you what we want, done, and how we came to employ you. The brothers said it difficult lo get any one to do the job. and not be meddling with the secrets in that little closet : we have lost the key and cannot find it to lock the door. 1 assur cd them that you could be depended on." "Uepended on s 'said she, 1 guess I can. who W J J.J . . 7 'Vr rZ"Z "us, uc.ungcu iu uio iricu "Mvnii rnnld mv hands ! Rut I haV ami-Masons, I don't know which, used to tell me all the secrets of the concern, and when he showed me all the marks the gridiron made when he was initia ted, and how they fixed poor Morgan, 1 nevef told a living soul to this day. If nobody troubles your clos2t to find out your secrets till I do, they'll lay there mi iney rot tney win. "I thought so," said the guardian. and now I want you to commence in that corner, and give the whole room a decent cleaning, and I have pledged my word and honor for the fidelity to yonr promise ; now don't go into that closet," and then left the lady to herself. No sooner had she heard the sound of his foot on the last step of the stairs than she exclairued "Dou'l go into that closet ! I'll warrant there is a grid iron, or some nonsense, lust like the anti masons for all the world, I'll be bound. I will just take a peep, and nobody will be any wiser, as 1 can keep - it to my self." Suiting the action to the word, she stepped lightly to the forbidden closet turned the button which was no soon' cr done, than bah ! went the billy-goat, with a spring to regain his liberty, which came near upsetting her ladyship. iioth started to the door but it was filled with implements for house cleaning, and all were swept clear from their position down to the bottom of the stairs. The noise and confusion occasioned by such unceremonious coming down stairs, drew half the town to witness Mrs. K.'s efforts to get from under the pile ot pails, tubs, brooms and brushes into the street. t Who should be first upon the spot but the rascally door-keeper, who after re leasing the goat, which was a cripple for life, and uplifting the rubbish that bound the good woman to the earth, anxiously inquired if she had been fa king the degrees. "Taking the degrees !" exclairrled the lady. "If you call tumbling from the lop- to the bottom of ihe stairs, scared to death, taking thing? by degrees, I have them ; and if you frighten fidks as you have me, and hurt them to boot, I'll warrant they'll make as much noise as 1 -did." . . 'I hope you' will not open the closet, madam," said the door-keeptn. ! "Open the closet I Eve ate the apple she was forbidden I If you want a woman to do anything, tell her not lo do it, and he'll do it certain. I could not stand the temptation. The secret was there I wad. ted to know it. I opened the door, and out popped the tarnal critter right into my face. l tnougm i was a goner, and I broke for the stairs, with Satan butting me at every jump I fell ver the tub, nd got down the stairs as you found us, alt in a heap." "But madam," said the door-keeper, u ou are in possession of the great secret of the order, and must go up and be initiated, sworn, ond then go in, in the regular way." 'Regular way I" exclaimed the lady, "and do you suppose 1 am going near the tarnal place again, and ride" that critter without a bridle or lady's saddle No, never I I don't want; nothing to du with the man that rides it. I'd look nice perch ed on a billy-goat wouldn't 1 ? 'No, never! I'll never go nigh it . again, nor your hajl nuther. If I can prevent it, no lady shall ever join the Odd Fellows. Why, I'd soon er be a free mason, and be broiled on a gridiron as long as fire could be kept under it, and be pulled from garret to cellar with a haltar, in a pair of old breeches and slip pers, just as nay poor dead husband was t be h vctUw uoul 1 perer -can In -omUT such- another ride 'asT took to-day." . LIFE IN THE WEST. The following genuine woman's Tet ter is from the Portsmouth Tribune. The letter is from Strawberry Hill, Kan sas, and dated May 16th. In getting out there they all piled into one little wagon, stopped one night at a log house, Innocent of daub and chiticking, and had to hold the bed-clothes with their teeth to keep them from blowing away. We quote the rest ot the letter: "I wish to goodness that I Could send you. a drawing of our house and furni ture. I can't do the thing justice. Th house is about as large as your kitchen 1 he logs are beautitully hewed inside they still retain their natural appearance on the outside. 1 have the greatest quantity ot kindling by just going round the walls and pulling them off. We will have enough to last Severn years if we have good luck. We . have no window, but something far more convenient, made by simply moving the shingles to one side. As thy are not nailed it answers every purpose.- The day we got here Mr. S mad me a table. and a cupboard, and two benches ; one has a back. As our bed stead has not yet come from the Pint we make our beds on the floor. We have two shelves where we put all our pretty things. Three or four bags hang ing around the walls help the appli ance ot them very much. My guitar occupies a friend iy position near the meat bag. I have a nice little cooking stove which bakes very well. We have no chairs or anything that town people require. I wish you had seen us eating our lirsl dinner ; we had no dishes.

Baltimore, July 6. About 6 o'clock Saturday evening an interesting little boy named Chas. Fish er, aged d years, and son ot Wm. H. Fisher, No. 46 Green street, was fatally shot whilst playing on the steps of Mrs. Taylor's dwelling, No. 276 Mulberry street. It appears that a young man named William Clamret borrowed a pistol for the purpose of shooting? doers. and fired from the corner of Pearl and Mulberry streets at several dogs in a line with the steps where 4he unfortunate child with others was sifting. The mis directed bait struck in the child's head behind the ear, and the'little innocent fell o ver with the shriek of ."mamma ! mamma!" Dr. Knight was instantlv called, but paralysis had set iu and the sufferer died in about an hour.afler re ceiving the wound. Justice Grove, who was called, selected a jury of uiaufst from the residents of the neighborhood and pioce.eded to investigate the affair. After the examination of a couple of wit- nesses a verdict was tendered that the killing was in consequence of a pistol ball being fired from a pistol in the hands of Wm. Clampet, and that it was accidental. Immedtaiely after the oc currence young Clampet surrendered himself to Lt. Gjrnverby whom he was taken to the western district station. He was, however, subsequently released on bail. -Sto. They dress cool down Cast. A- lady being asked if she wonld not wear a bon net to church, replied that she would not wear anything else. .

A passenger on board a ship bound for California, who. had been sea-sick i all the way out to the line, one day went to the doctor in a sad, supplicating tone, and accosted him with 'Doctor, can you tell me what I shall be good for , when I get to San Francis co, if I keep On this Way, 7 . .-arw mm m mr mm ," J ell you, to be sure 1 can You are just the man to begin a grave yard with." j "Pray sir," said a Judge arlgrily to a blunt old Quaker from whofri ho direct answer could be .obtained " "do you know What w sit here tor ?"
