The Albany Times gives the following report of one in that section : Easr Atzayy, Jan 13, 1859. The ing of the Women’s Rights Associa- Mss called for “rer day, was aan noe = room net jarge eno 5 - Mrs. Sarah Gamp was called to the block, and old Mrs. Gab appointed ;_bat having left her spectacles at the store where she bought her snuff, she resigned, and Nency Teaze was Sere The Mrs. President stated that the object of Convention was te devise some pian to | their husbands to stay at home nights; said, for herself, she had missed the last two tea parties, just because her ugly brute of a man would not sit by the youngest baby, that bad the measics, and warm the milk for the baby. She then invited the ladies to relate their experience. Qid Mrs. Gab arose and said she only came out of curiosity. She had nohusband, and knew, when her boys were out late at night, that they never drank anything, as they often had to get up in the night for water. Mrs. Gamp said her old man was often out very late, but did not think he ever dra often suspected him and smelt of bis breath, but could never emel! anything except cloves, which he took for the toothache Nancy Teaze said she miways asked her man where be was going when Le started out, and where he had been when he came back; but as be never answered, she did really believe the f man was getting deaf; was very certain e did not gamble. as he had more money when be came back than when he started. Mrs. Fantadlix said her man was always out, but she could account for it, as he be — to the Free Masons, Odd Fellows, Sons of Malta, Mechanies’ Benefit Society, Fire Company and two Sojer Companies, which took nearly all of the poor man’s leisure time. Mrs. Van Guysling said she only came to hear what the rest said, but would say that her man was out every night, but always said he bad to work; and when he did come home, he was so tired that he would throw himself on the bed, and she would have to take off hia clothes; he would go to sleep in a minute, and snore all night, and she durst not disturb him, because he was so tired. Mrs. Runabout said ber husband was often out nights; knew he never drank, but thought that some other men did, as her husband came home with a strange overcoat on, and an old hat all bruised up, instead of his cap; and he told her that some drunken men had probably changed with him; often heard loud singing before he came in, and he said he “had been watching them noisy follows, 23 he thought they were Lurglars.’ Mrs. Spankup said she was not interested, for her husband used to belong to the Rechabites; knows he don’t drink now, because he cannot bear the smell of the whiskey that I wash in; is out nights, but always brings home groce- — has to go every night, for he is so furget- al. Mrs. Gamps said, as there was no others to speak. she would inform them that Mrs, What's-her-name had just had a baby, and the did not know how long they had been mar- ried, but had it down in the almanac at home. The Convention then adjourned to meet the next windy day, unless notiee be given at the Sewing Society. ee Expertence.—the editor of the Palmer Journal went a skating last week, and thus details his “experience :"’—* Coming to a pond whose frozen surface shone like a mirror in the i we felt that we were a boy again, and though years bad passed away since we had tied # pairof skates to our feet, we felt eonfi- dent of showing the boys some expluits in skat- ing that had nut been witnessed for a long time. And so we did. With skates nicely buckled to our feet, we made a powerful launch upon the glare ice. The next moment we saw some- thing going up in the air which looked likea pair of feet with skates on them, and felt some- thing strike us hebind like a ton of ice, while a shout went up from the boys that made tne welkin ring. After two or three more unsuc- cessful attempts, we got the hang of the skates and made tolerably good progress. We were much annoyed, however, by a little chap with black eyes and close-fitting cap, who chal- lenged us forarace. We accepted, and made a bold dash across the pond. hen half way across we brought up on our back, when the little sbaver shot ahead like arocket. It was bumiliating to be beaten thus, but it was a Great conquest for the black-eyed boy to beat one more than twice his size and age. Even after that, if we were making for a particular t, or cutting a comical illustration for ‘unch, flat on the ice, the black-eyed juvenile was sure to dart by us witha laugh, and a look of proud superiority. After two hours of such enjoyment we left the ice, convinced that skating must bea bighly popular amusement for those who like it. © awoke next morning with spavins in both legs, a slight soreness in the rear, and these ideas in our head about skating.”’ Seuoot Giets in Winter.—The Ohio Cul- tivator says: We wish to put in a special plea for the girls. Make their dresses short enough to swing clear of the snow and mud, and give them good water-proof boots to wear to school. Yes, we insist upon it—they should have boots Women’s shoes of the present fasbien are no more fit to be put upon country roads in winter than an Indian's birch bark canoe is fit to cross the Atlantic. Boots will not look quite so trim about the ankle, or step so lightly upon the floor, but they will do what is of more conse- quence—preserve their health to show off their graces in after life, and to take 2 great many elastic steps that might otherwise be fewer,and those leading directly down to the grav Auother thing we are glad to see coming in fashion: the ladies are roing to skate, and for this they must have boots. Now-girls, get each of you a pair cf neat-fitting boots, aaa a ir of skates to fit, and the first ice that forms in your neighborhood, large enough, go out with your brothers, or sumebody else's broth- ers, and learn to skate. Be prudent about it, aud not overdo the exercise, and you will find it a capital medicine—next to riding on horse- back. The only way t> bring about a race of bealthy women, is to attend to the phy- sical development of the girls before they are diluted in the fa system of fashionable ac- complishment, that fits them for nothing but elegant imbeciles saber oe aE tb An Ucty Syoint —A buteher, who was af flicted with that obliquity of vision known a strabismus, was about slaughtering a bullock, and ployed & little negro boy to stand by the bull's neck, grasp his horns and hold his head steady, so that he (the butcher) would have a certainty of knocking him dewn. As the batcher poised his axe in theair, he seemed to be lookiug directly at the negro instead of the bullock. “ Look here, look hosay,”” exclaimed the darkey. with a deal of nervous trepidation. “is yeu g to strike whar you is lookin’’’’ ‘Of course I am, you black scoundrel,’’ was the reply. “Den you get somebody olse to huld de bulloék,”’ ejaca- lated the negro; “you isn’t gwine ter knock dis child's brains out!” Pessy Bewiperen —The other night, » eo cat, belonging to the station-master at a railroad crossing, attempted to cross the line as 40 engine was passing ut a good speed. The eat was caught between the spokes of one of the driving-wheels, and whirled round whi the wheel traversed thirty yards, when puss was thrown out. Its owner t to look for it, but the eat stared so wildly that he dared bot SS iavreats it. Two hours afterwards it was heard mewing at the front door; and when it came in it was found to be uninjured. Its breast and face were covered with grease and dirt; but the only harm that puss expe- rienced was such a combined shock and fright that it seemed stupid, and had lost its appe- tite, vor would it clean itself | Photog Foen + VOL. XIll. MARRIAGE BY WROLESALE. Recent lish rs report the trial and conviction one Mr. Gloucester Gale, who — guilty, at the Old Bailey, to having in- rtoarried with five ladies, his first wife alive. The London Weekly Times says: The prosecutors were prepared to prove a number of marriages, but it was said that the fellow had made many victims besides those who were induced to come forward and expose their wrongs to the public gaze. Gale was sentenced to penal servitude for four years, and the pu! would not be dissatisfied if longer punishment had been awarded. There are few greater than those of which this seoundre! was guilty But our detestation of his guilt is nearly equalled by our surprise at the credulity his vietims. Gale’s first and only lawful marriage took place in 1849, and, within ten years, he contrived. to marry certainly five ol young women, and it is be- leved several more. Some of these had prop- erty, and some are described as pretty, and of ® good station in life. With all but the first he assumed a false name, and, in each ease, he made similar representations. He was either & merebant, traveling a good deal abroad, or the mate of a merchant vessel going long voy- ages. It seems that he divided bis time among his numerous wives, the rest supposing him on his yoy: avels during bis absence from a good deal of cunning and 7 to maintain this system of deception jong @ time. The wives who waited patiently at home must have had a large amount of confidence, and have been deficient in womanly curiosity. They were content to Jet him come and go without asking where he had been, or what he had been doing. Durin| his absences, they did not ask to be informed of his progress, or require that he should write to them from the places of his temporary so- journ. They must never have exprevsed a wish to see the place where he carried on his busi- ness, or to see his ship. But more wonderful still is it, how he induced so many to marry him. Here are at least five English women,in a respectable position in life, who, to their cost, consented to marry & wan who was an entire stranger to them. This must have been s0,for the smallest inquiry would have destroyed his pretensions. Indeed, it would appear that the very first serious inquiry led to his detection The man was not handsome, for that cruel her, the reporter, describes him ag “‘an ins gnificant looking little man, with a profuse red beard and moustache.”’ He was not rich, and he cannot have had money even to make a show of competence. for, 2 oe: he was taken into custody, thirty duplicates, re- lating to property belonging to his last wife, were found upon him. Who will explain the mystery? Cee eae _ OWENS AND HIS AppRENTICN.—The follow- ing capital story is told ot John Uwens, the favorite comedian : Jobn was playing an engagement at the Hloward Athenwum, in Boston, last summer, and was despatched by the manager to per- form for a week in one of the interior towns of western Massachusetts. Une day, while so- journing there, a plain, good natured son of the soil came up to him, as he was enjoying Ly after breakfast cigar, and addressed him thus : “I say, ‘Squire, ain’t you the player chap that I see in the theayter, last night, acting out the funny feller so ’eute?”’ That part alluded to was Solon Shingle, in “The People’s Lawyer.”” * Well,” replied Jobn, with that bland smile ot his, ‘guess I am.”’ “I thought so,”’ said the farmer. “Now I’ve been a guod many times to the theayter, when I’ve been down to Boston, and seen a bull lot of folks playin’ all sorts of funny parts, but I never seen any one on ‘em who could come any wheres near you, Squire! Yes, yeou dew take the rag off o’ the bus acting out a funny feller, and no mistake '’ The comedian evinced his deep sense of the compliment are him by a graceful touch of his hat; and his new friend proceeded : “T never did larf so much in all my born days; and so did my wife, and as to my darter, Matilda Jane, I thought she would have bust. I wonder, ’Syuire, if you could not larn our Sam. He’s a ‘cute sort of a chap, and is up to all sorts of queer goings on. Ain't nobody't don't snicker right eout, everytime they sce him in his tantrums. I guess he’d make a funny actor, jest like you, “Squire, if be only had achance. ‘Spose you couldn't give hima chance, couldn’t you? If you only let him try his hand a while, shouldn’t mind bindin’ him eout as a’prentice to the actin’ business, and not charge you much, nother; only take good care on him, and don’t let him get into mischief Faet is, Squire, I think that boy’d just suit you, fur he’s a hind of natyral d—d Fool enny how!” How rue Proresson Got Out or raz WELL. A few years ayo, Professor > of Bowdoin College, was overseer of the building of the High School house in Brunswick. in the cel- lar of the same was a well, walled with brick, whose sides were consequently smooth. One day, being left alone in the building, he went doan cellar, and in bis haste unconsciously at- tempted to walk over the well, and as uncon- sciously fell into it. Here was a predicament f.r apy one possessing no more immortality than a College Professor; standing in five feet of water—at the bottom of a well sixteen feet coop at the bottom of a deep cellar—with no soul in hearing distance ! Aker shouting him- self hoarse, he bethought himself of a piece of chalk —a remnant of the last recitation—which he applied to the walls to solye his situation. The statement of the question was—let + equal how shall I get out; y equal depth of water; z equal distance to the water; and by means of bis knowledge of Algebra he actually worked himself out, wonderfully showing the power of mathematies.— Bangor Times. ty The Laporte ({nd.) Times gives the par- ticulars of a horrible affair in that neighborhood. Several boys started from the residence of a German widow lady, a mile or twofrom town, to go to Laporte, and among them was the gon ofthe widow. He wasin liquor, and after leav- ing the house, his companious discovered that he kad left his hat behind him, and started him back afterit. Shortly afterwards, a gentleman and lady, paesing near by in a wagon, heard a moan of ery in great agony, and at the same time heard a deg grow! a8 if devouring something. The lady prevailed upon her bus- band to go and ascertain the cause, which he did, when, horrible to relate, he found the Ger- main boy alluded to, down, and his own dog literally chewing him to pieces. At lust ae- counts, he was not dead, though it was scarcely possible fur him to recover. ars ago, in the New Hampshire new member, somewhat noted for “ pumping thunder,’’ made a speech—it was upon a bill for taxing bank dividends—in which he attempted to be very pathetic in fa- vor of widows who owned bank stock. ‘“ Yes, Mr. Speaker,’’ be exclaimed with indignant energy, “the angen from Dover, who in- troduced this bill, deaf to the cries of her or- phan children, would strip the widow,” but before he could conclude the sentence, he was interrupted by nee Astonished, but un- daunted, be exclaimed, with profound feeling: “Gentlemen, it is not a subject of derision! I appeal to you in all candor, to say if it is not worse than stripping Put on this tax, and ‘ou will drive the widow to her last «/:/t!” Shouts of laughter here petrified him in his place, and he spoke no more during the session. Protocrarny tx Court —Onr Court calen- dar, a few days ago (says the Boston Advertaser) gave an account of the admission in Court as ev- dence. of pLotograpbic copies of the handwriting of a note, together with specimens of the defend- ants known handwriting magnified many times, so that the slightest difference could be detected . ‘The idea of this very important application of the photographic art, originated, we believe, with Mr. George Stimpson, Jr., of the Merchant's Bank, who is highly skilful in the use of the ig WASHINGTON, D.
