A country rnmseller wishing a supply of that bererage wrote as fol lows ; Bungville, July 1st, 1B60. Messrs Blotch dc Drinker sen me up as loone as poisibul a cask of Brandy And one Large Bear for fourth of Juli sen the Beor by express in Haist Reuben Todd. The answer came as follows: Mr. Todd. Dear S i r : careful that be does not escape aa he is very mvage. He coit #40(^wd we let you have him for the same. Please for- Yours Respectfully, Blofoti de Drinker. The cousternsuion of Reuben Todd was complete when the furious animal was landed at his sliop-door with a half-scared curious crowd around it, and it was only by a sacrifice of the cask of brandy for a keeper and a couple of trips to New York that b . got rid of hi. ugly property .nd learned how to spell Lager Beer. th t r whpj^Briit^yiSEhbiD :tlf 4e.ud:wfe«r^i^;1imlto*YAto ■ift.;s8l ■oout#y,w«#>ddeAM dl^lpf4llrt^ - ■ and Jhe: I'Gouniy jof FuUon* w4s erected, itliharoo, wJI c ^ e d to the name. .of the l»«!iely.

One point is the thorough organim: tion of the entire county into Bible Socie ties, either of towns, parishes,.districts or neighborhoods. The present is a good time to do this work where it • has not been done. At a meeting .of the County Society in Fort Plain, May 21,1856, it 'was resolved,—“ 1st, That i t he earnestly reoohimended to the friends of the Bible Society, to organize societies in each town, 10 M to iDcludo and enlist jtll in the towns to concerted action. “ 2d, TliRt the following form bo re commended for * local or town Bible asf sociatiop :•— “ 1 s t.. The officers shall bo a Proiident, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. “ 2. The officers and others at a gen eral meeting one month prior to the annu al meeting of the County Society, shall appoint two ifollectort for every school district in the town, to solicit donations. 3d., The Secretary shall rejiort to the Secretary of the County Society the re sults of the annual effort, with a full cat alogue of the names of the donofs. ‘ “ 4th. The Treasurer shall receive all the funds, collected and pay them over to the^ Treasurer of the Coubty Bible Society, and designate any amount ^ v en especially to constitute Life Memberships and Life Directorsbips.” \ Have such organizations been efiected throughout the county! If. not, should it tool be done immediately;! Will not you see that it is done at once f - ------ -------------------- i “ II, Another poiht is the collection o f ngo jn pulling down an old house, and funds. Gfivinc should be done on prinoi removing some rotten timbers near t . .. ------ - Svitonaatio bononconco ground, wa§ bitten by a rattlosmiKo. plo and by systoin. Systoraatio bonefli should be cultivated. Let there be a plan; and in ibis plan, let tho Bible cause have a place.' In your system of collections ar range for the Bible Society, and make the collections in season ; do it, as-above re commended, “one month prior to the an nual meeting of the County Society, ** and report,^ as rsccommended above, by the 1st of September iu each year. Be TIL Another point I*, thi ^ j f y “/ f vear, having tbAyeartun from September destitute. Let the (^Hectors always take fiiit to ^ p te m b er first, and all that is not with them a-few Bibles rind Testaments reported to the Secretary Ky the first of ^ptembar, or a* dotfa by that- timV, to’go with them a'' few Bibl forsaleLand as well as tl be kept supplied, and this will prev neoesBity of a paid agency for this work. .Such an agency is Bometimos neceBsary; BSrio further attack on the door toqk place. Snips confidence in the precise individuals was doubtless shaken in some degree. In the meantime 1 look the bint and went to pulling in the sign with a yengoance.^ P., spun out his prayer until the last piece was reduced to ashes, and then rasing hi* voice to high key, he finished off with the following quotation: - ^ “And oh, have mercy on this wicked and adnlterouB generation, who go about seeking for a sign, but shall have no sign given them. A m-e-n, . This last renewed the suspicion of the outsiders, ahd they repeated the kaocldDg. We opened the door; they entered, and after a minute searcli' in every corner, they gave up and deeded that we were not the guilty ones. &ill I noticed, rili our victim left, he turned his last gazo most wistfully at the stove.
