How to Make a Suite of Furniture.

, A very singular robbery of a suito of fuvnituro occured in the suburb of' 1 Fitooy on Sunday night,- Mr George;; ! Justz discovered that his' furniture i valued at £3O, hadbeon; stolon from", hiafronfc room during the night, 1 window having been prised open with" 1 a chisel or jemmy. The furniture m£ ! afterwards found in a Second hfl§ broker's, who said he had prircbasecT it for £l3 from a man giving the name 1 of Mathews. The broker being shown' some photos by the police recognised 1 one of them as, Mapiews,. and Mr ' Justz being shown it, to his intense 1 surprise, found that it was the photo' of a cousin of his, named Carpehtor f who had been at his house on the 1 very night durijie; which the burglary wns committed, and'stated that he wasto ,be married that day (New Years Day),, Constable Cameron, was told Off to effect the arrest, and he'did this at the residence of the mother of ' accused, as hß.was makingrtoaratiori's for his marriago.. Carpenter-admitted the offence, and ■'■ stated that he had removed the furniture at intervals in: • 1 a wheelbarrow. ,This statement of course is nobbolieved by thepolice asthe articles of furniture wero very heavy, and itwould have been an impossibility' •' for any one to remove theth in a wheelbarrow, to wiy nothing of the, suspicion that [ suoh a proceeding would arouse, .Meanwhile' the W tended bride had beon busy makfljj, her toilet to receive her future spouse' ' at the altar, The .intelligencereached her brother, and. c he:broke it to hen She refused to credit it, and insisted oh going to tbe.Ayatchliouse, this.she : ' ,did in company with her brother. On seeing her intended'husband in the' cell and .a prisoner, she uttered a piercing shriek and.hinted. She was .•. then-removed in' au hysterical condition to her. home, The greatest •, consternation and surprise was occasioned by Carpenter's action; many of .his relations stoutly refused to 'believe the accusation ;until they yiaited Ktzroy watch-house and saw jor'themselves tb'atit wae'true," The accused pas nith'efto bornp. an irr'e. : proachablo character, and Was always looked upon as a bard-working steady ■yOTngm»n',--'/:'..v : >:'.'v->' T '.; : .;PittpN|lSH. : ' Fish>nay;Tb>:drodedintp^<3l4ss^ codfish pf : iyidingvtliem:; ist |oyv||;isish^^ ; ;b'eing:a !cp|lJ[fth;^i^a^eßh^fisE : that';?: for '^Fish'exist'in^^rWl'k^Biiit'iw^

i'r "Contentment is tlipr ehiof fespito of : .the successful fishermen. ', Surveyors are apt to be good fisher ;inen, because their lines and angles 'are apt to be all right, ..■'The mermaid and fishwoman may ' also be mentioned in this connection, fc The former is a good illustration of Rwhat is meant by the ideal, and the 1 'tatter as fitly represents the real. .'• i Many land animals are reproduced iu the sea. Thus bo have tbe dogfish,tho catfish, sea-lions, and sea- ; horses, but no sea-mules, None of the above have hind legs, and any manner of mule without hind legs would be a conspicuous failure. It may not be out of place to mention Joliali in this connection. He was not a fish, but was onco included among the inhabitants of the deep. There has been considerable dispute as to tho name of the fish that swallowed the gentleman aboyo • mentioned, some persons arguing that the throat of a whale is not large enough to Bwallowaman. This objection seems to be inconsequential, Jonah might have been in a [pmaller mould than other men. Moreover, it is certain that he was cast over the rail of the vessel. There has been much speculation, also, as to the cause of Jonah's expulsion from the whale's interior, ' but the theory most generally accepted in that he soured on the I whale's stomach. He was very fortunate in reaching land, since ho had no pilot." If he had taken a pilot with him into the stomach of the whale he would doubtless have selected Pauncheous Pilot as the proper man, Jonah was tho first man who retired from the department of the interior, and Delano was tho last one, But we digress, Let us return to our fish, The codfish is the source of all salt. In this respect Lot's wifo was nowhere; however, it would be well to remember Lot's wife, The saline qualities of codfish permeate and percolate the vasty deep, h»nd make the ocean as salt as himself, Weighed in his scales ho is found wanting—wanting considerable freshening, He is by nature quite social, his principal recreation being balls—fish balls, The codfish was worshipped by Greeks; but he is only half as well treated by the inhabitants 'of Cape Cod—he is simply shipped. Hence the difference between the Greeks and the inhabitants of Capo Cod, Small fish are usually harmless, but parents can't be too careful about I permitting their children to play whore largo fish abound, as it is an established fact that the big fish frequently eat up the little ones. The jelly fish is, perhaps, the best understood of all the finny tribe, because,being translucent, it is easy to see through him. The greatest number of fish is eaten on Friday and the next great|jj3t number on Saturday, because Wnose that are left over aro wanned np for Saturday's breakfast, Argumentative persons are fond of stating that it is grammatical to say that the five loaves and three fishes were ate, since five and three were always eight, They should be treated with with silent contempt. Fish areprovided with air bladders, so that they can rise from the depths of the sea by simply filling these bladders with air. If any one is disposed to ask where they got the air for such inflation, let him understand in advance that this article is not intended for the solution of petty conundrums.

Thero are many interesting rumors about fish which might bernentioned, but the foregoing facts may be coneidered of-fish-all.
