MoNDAY EVENING'S CONCEET.—The con- , eel t for the bet.elit of the poor, announced by us last week, was given in the Odd Fel low's Hall on 31iinday melting, and was laklsst meagerly atte ole l Ivy our si Olpatlli zing eitiLens. We must confess tu disap pointment, not iii the pm form:ince, but iu , the patronage bestimed on a benetulent un dertaking. The talent of the musicians en gaged, both professional and amateur, st w ench as shuald have insured a full house. had the proceeds of the entertainment gone tu the individual profit Of the performers : but as they most generally bestowed their time skill fur a charitable purpose. %sc think their efforts deserted sufficient encourage ment to prove Colambians not entircly in differunt to a, laudable CIACIMIT to nut to the fund which all agree must be created and expended in our town, in relief of dis tress. Of the audience, nine-tenths were la dies ; and it is but another proof of their ever ready response to the cry of suffering and pot erty. Of the performance we can speak with satisfaction. We feel certain that the entire enmpany of auditors partici pated in the pleasure with which we listen ed to good music well executed. Although the sparsely filled room must have had a chilling effect upon the performers, they, one and all, acquitted themselves with more than credit. We must not particularize, further than to compliment Mr. Keifer, Pro fessor &limits', and Dr. Longenecker, of Lancaster, and Dr. E. Haldeman, of ehiques, who so kindly lent their assistance, and con tributed so materially to the success (inusi i cal) of the concert. We do not mean to ig nore the services and merits of our own townsmen, but know that they will feel am ply repaid for their trouble by the exceed ingly liberal encouragement received at the hands and pockets of the thousands of their fellow citizens who didn't turn out. THE Srasuroscorr..—This is the title of a =MI BAII t11 . ,4 MAGAZIN F.-IVe welcome Gra EMI SIU L 5.: lig r thing moved briskly; there was no mournful ness, no solemn duty about the perform ance. The dancing of the ladies was grace ful (of course) and spirited, while the gyro- tions of 44 — males may be safely styled ins- petuous. The motions were the combined saltatory and rotary; but, we chronicle with satisfaction the absenceofanything approach ing the potatory; we saw nothing but sobriety and decorum in the conduct of every gentle man in the ball room. The ladies turned out nobly, and we never remember seeing happier faces than among the merry company assembled on the floor. The attendance of gentlemen was large, and we noticed a number of strange faces from the neighboring towns. We have been out of ball practice for come seasons, but on this occasion laid by our Quaker steadiness and resolved to mingle with the Amid's people,—even to dance.— We fear that this departure from our well known principles excited surprise and remark, but encouraged by the precept and example of a prominent Friend, Cul. - ---, we overcame our prejudices against the "mazy," and—"merrily danced I the Quaker." Although at first rather rusty, I we warmed with the occasion, and when we had ;II ri% ed at that stage of confidence which justifies a waltz, we foundourself spinning in the intoxicating circles of this iniquitous and ro oh ing movement with a thorough enjoy meta, end an entire forgetfulness of uur drab antecedents. What an institution that same waltz is! Dull care cannot stand up against it. Hard ; times and the money market are forgotten in the entangling thread of its fascinating I spirals. Earth is spurned by the swift-spin- ! ning feet of the dancers. As they forget the floor beneath, so do they scorn the ceiling and roof ahoy e them, and rising plumb! through Red Men and Odd Fellows, soar even to Mahomet's Paradise, and only de semi to this dull plodding world to taper off un - no, we forget, this was not a Lager Ball. The couple which cannot rise above the chandeliers must be physically at Limit—the gentlemen's feet must be large, ur the ladies waist thick—otherwise the waltz motion, which is in efieet that of the jack screw, must inevitably elevate as above. We will not attempt to measure the perpen dicular of our ascension (we did not "get , high") nor to chronicle our confusion of mind after awakening from our intoxicating trance. We had sceu the elephant, and re tired satisfied. The party was kept up to a good, reason ably early hour, awl by the kindness of some gentleman, not named, the ladies were refreshed with a substantial lunch, about twelve o'clock, at the "National," opposite the Ball. Altogether, the ball was a most successful and pleasant one, and, in indepen dsnee of its charitable ohject, reflects credit on its managers. We can safely say this although our name appears on the list, for the honor of carefully and energetically conducting the whole affair rests with two or three individuals, who took the care upon their own shoulders and most admirably they carried it through. Mr. Keller's Co. tilliun Band gave every satisfaction as music, and Mr. Stouch as Floor Manager earned the thanks of the party. li tli.noAn LINE.—We call particular at tention to the advertisement of _Mr. Henry Brandt, who announce 4 to-day the establish ment of an Omnibus for the accommodation of passengers by railroad. His coach will be in attendance on the arrival and depar- ture of all trains, and will convey passen gers to and from the depot, at the reasona ble charge of It2a cents. We bespeak for this enterprise, one called fur by the wants of the community, the patronage of the tra %elling public. We trust that it will be well supported. RENov.vron.—We regard the dis coverer of an efficient and infallible grease exterminator as a benefactor of the human race. Who the lucky inventor of " lerr's Renovator" is, we do not know, but that the article itself is genuine, and that it is prepared and sold by Ids% E. B.

The "Renovator" has been tried and "we learn from good authori ty" that there is no bumbugin it; it leaves no vestige of it grease spot after its applica tion. krAt an election held at the house of John Kindig, at Siker Spring, Nov. 2d, 11;.i7, the following were elected officers of the Lam:Aster and Mnrietta Turnpike Road Company, to .erve fur the ensuing year: P,esident.-11enry Mussel inn n. „VanagerB. —Col.

MI! , S FLORA McFl.ta'►a- tc Es.m.ssin.—ln a letter from the daughter of a noble lord in England to a friend iq this city, she says: " IS Miss Flora McFHulsey meant to rep resent a person in the highest class of life? Fur you know in England the subject of dress is one that is quite ignored in guud so ciety. We remark that Such a person may dress well, or the contrary, but any lady who talked tt great deal, or even showed that she thought a great deal about dress, would he sent to Coventry. We take it fur granted that the art of dress manes naturally to a lady-like mind, and requires nu thought or effort : conse quently any one too smart is set down as a person with had taste, and vulgar. That is how we settle things here, and we should not stand Miss Flora for on hour. Our pa pers have of late written a great deal against ladies' dress, and very rightly too, fur the present fashion is absurd and um -amoral." • Wind do our /gist Floras say to that? [..V: Pus!. Chinese Sugar Cane We give below the report of Mr. Jacob B. barber on the Chinese Sugar Cams, read at the late meeting of the Lancaster county Horticultural Society. This gentlesnau is well known to most of our readers, pod from the fact that be,ide being an experimental ist in improved agriculture, he is a practical farmer, of judgment, his experience with the new plant is entitled to consideration and respect, and will doubtless be read with interest REPORT ON CA ,s,---At former meeting of this Society, it was re solved, " That persons Ivho have adopted a few special and favorite subjects as sources of recreation and pleasare, be invited to fa vor the Society with statements of their ex perience." And it was also resolved, "That this Society strongly recommend a more ex tensive cultitation of the Chinese Sugar Cane." As this plant was one of my " special ob jects of recreation" the present season, I will under the above resolves, state my ex perience, for the benefit of such as have nut yet given it a trial. It is known to a few of the members, that last winter I took an active part in the dis semination of the seed, far and wide. I sent packages of it to thirty-one States and terri tories, being fully convinced that it " was a boon of inestimable value" to the whole country. The applications were so numer ous that my own small lot of seed was soon exhausted. I made application to our lib eral-minded member of Congress, Hon. A. E. Roberts, to procure me a lot from the Pa tent Office. This he kindly and cheerfully did fur me twice, and I thus publicly ac knowledge to him my thanks fur the favor to me, and the many recipients accommoda ted through his kindness. Owing to the many applications for the seed, I had but a very small quantity on hand (less than a pint) when plantini , time came on. This I planted on about one-fourth of an acre of ground, very thin of course, and on ground which had been in potatoes ' for three years previous in succession, and without manure of any kind applied during the three years, or fur the sugar cane. After ; the cane was up I had about half a bushel of super-phosphate sprinkled along the rows, without, however, much apparent ben efit. The plot of ground was filled with the ! seeds of weeds to such nn extent that the! young cane was very much smothered, and we bad great difficulty in saving a part of it. After much hoeing and hard pulling, inure than half the cane plants were destroyed.— They made a very feeble growth at first, and so thin and irregular, that I almost despair ed of producing anything worth attending to. The plants being so thin and irregular, " we left all grow that would," cif the cane. Owing to the thin stand, must of the plants tillered," throwing up from one to five ofT.; shots, or suckers; these grew as tall as the main stalks, so that there was at last a pret ty fair stand of plants. The suckers, how ever, were late, and did not ripen the seed, and the season being late, the danger of frost admonished us to commence cutting and crushing. Not knowing of any crusher made for the purpiee, I had one made according to seve ral plans recommended in the agricultural publications, with three east iron cylinders, 1.3 inches long by S inches in diameter; this was attached to a horse-power threshing ma chine, with a strap, but would not work. I then had it geared with a cog wheel, and in this way, with one or two horses, did good work. In the fore part of the day we would cut and crush the cane—extract from 40 to 50 gallons—boil & A c t , in common copper ket tles in the after part of the day, from 7 to S gallons of thick syrup, such as will pass anywhere as " No. 1" molasses. The patch of one-fourth of an acre produced about 70 gallons of very superior syrup, and proba bly four or five bushels of ripe seed. Full three-fourths of the seed being unripe, it was not saved. From this small experiment I conclude that '4OO gallons of syrup, and .10 to 50 bush els of seed to the acre, Is a fair average. I would further say to those who may plant it next year, as a first experiment—Seed being plenty, plant thick in the rows, as early as the ground is in suitable condition, say about the first of May; the rows the same distance apart as Indian corn, and worked in the same manner—thin out to six or eight inches in the rows, and remove the suckers ; it will then all ripen nt the same time, and sufficiently early to have it out of the way before bard frosts make their ap pearance. It is a more mire crop than In dian corn, as no drouth affects it. Our sum mers are sufficiently long to mature it in all seasons, and it is of more value to the coun try than any plant that has been introduced, probably for a century. All of which is respectfully submitted Bank of Pennsylvania On Saturday last the Directors of the Bank of Pennsylvania made affidavit before Al derman Kenney, charging Thomas Al I ibone, late President of that institution, with hay- j ing received to Ids own use two hundred thousand dollars of the money of the Bank, and hating absconded to a foreign country , with a design to defraud his creditors, not , leaving in the State sufficient property to j pay his debts. On this affidavit n writ of I attachment was issued, and on Satnrday evening the sheriff made the usual service at the late residence of Mr. Allibone, in West Philadelphia. The officer is also di- j rected to attach certain moneys and effects in the possession of William C. Morgan and Thomas L. Quicksall, copartners as Wm. C. Morgan & Co.; of Robert J. Ross & Co., and Francis M. Drexel and Joseph W. Drexel, copartners as Drexel & Co., and to summons them as garnishees, in order to hold fur the benefit of the bank whatever may be due from them to Mr. Allibone. Nut the least singular feature of this case—and it is one that proves how utterly valueless as a pro tection against fraud and impropriety are modern directors—is, that a majority of the directors that make the affidavit charging I the late President with fraud- and VIIITthIg away, only twenty days benire passed a res olution on the occasion of his resignation. J expressing "their feelings of deep regret" at parting with him, and sympathizing with him that his health required his absence from the country, wishing him a long life of j happiness and usefulness. By this official endorsement by parties who were in a posi tion to know, and who should have known whether such nu endorsement of the officer was merited, several of the daily newspa- I pers were induced to believe that the admin. istration of the affairs of the bank, though the institution was in a failing condition. was probably free from the taint of fraud. We now, however, have their oaths against I their words, that their late President is un j worthy of the kind regard expressed for him. ter-We have good reason to believe that it; nine cases out of ten, coughs, colds and all bronchial irritations. howover severe. may/ llePlt Ims been said that a chattering lit be cured by the use of IVisor's Balsam of tle sold in a large body is like a swallow in Wild Cherry_ 1 .ingle trial will prove !a barn—the twitter takes up more room this, than the bird. In Louisiana the Democratic State ticket has been elected. The new Legislature is also Democratic, chile the Democrats have chosen three members of Congress, and the Americans one. At the late election in Minnesota, 35,000 votes were pulled, Of these some thousands were fraudulent. At the city of St. Paul 400 laborers were imported to work on the streets for a few days, and dischnrged after they had voted. On the railroad between St. Paul and St. Anthony 300 laborers were employed fur a few days in the same man ner, though the work was not under con tract. These voters were taken from Wis consin. There were 100 Winnebago Indians also who voted, and there were from GOO to 1,000 Indian votes polled. Complete returns of the Maryland elec tion give Hicks, American, for Governor, 8,567 majority, and make the Legislature stand thus:—Senate, 15 Americans, 7 De mocrr.ts ; House, 44 Americans, 29 Demo crats. Barka, Dens., is elected Appeal Judge in the Ist Judicial district. To Congress, three Americans and three Democrats are elected. The result of the Stale election in Wis consin is unexpectedly close and doubtful, both parties claiming to have chosen the Governor. The Legislature will be Repub lican. It is stated that in consequence of the threats made ugainst the sub-treasury in New York by the vagabond mob who last week invaded Wall street, orders have been issued from Washington for the immedi ate concentration at New York of the Marine Corps stationed at Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, to protect the sub-treasury and other public property from rioters, If ne cessary, all the available army corps will also be ordered fur the same duly. There have again been heavy freshets in Western New York. At Elmira much dam age was dune thereby to the New York and Eric Railroad. At Rochester and through out the Genesee valley eight dams and six bridges were swept away. The railway be tween Rochester and Syracuse was inunda ted and rendered impassable. Two bad breaks occurred in the Eric canal at Palmy ra and Newark. General Walker was arrested at New Or. leans late on the night of the Orli, on an affi davit made by the Custom House officers, in relation to his filibustering designs. lie was immediately admitted to bail in $2,000. His arrest is not deemed likely to interfere with his plans. Our Minister to France, Mr. Mason, has resigned his post. His successor, Mr. till dell, will go out to sueceeJ him next spring. The expedition to Utah will make no hos tile movement against the Mormons this winter, as the force is insufficient, and no reinbreements can be sent until the spring. A letter from Lecompton, \off•. 2d, to the St. Louis Democrat, says that a few days previous Governor Walker had left that city, nominally for Lawrence, but really, as was affirmed, for Washington. The Constitution al Convention, in session at Lecompton, has adopted a preamble recognizing the exis tence of slavery in Kansas, and three sec tions prohibiting the Legislature from pass ing laws for its abolition, without the con sent of the shtveholders, or for preventing slave owners bringing their slaves into the State. The article of suffrage has been consider ed. In addition to a year's residence, pay ment of taxes is required to make a voter. Soldiers of the army are allowed to vote.— When the article on boundaries was up, Mr. Jones proposed to call the State Washing ton. A motion was made to amend by sub stituting Walker. Both voted down. It is stated that in order to prevent the appropriation for the Philadelphia Post Office from lapsing into the public treasury by non use during the fc-cal year, the Post master General has determined to commence work at once in the alteration of the old Pennsylvania Bank building. The following locations for new sub-post offices, have also been determined upon: Northwestern, at Spring Garden Hall, corner of Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets; Northeastern, in Fifth street, below 'Coates; West end, in Chesnut street, east of Seventh; West Phil adelphia, in Market street, east of Park street. There are old post offices in Ken sington, Richmond, Frankford, German town, and other parts of the city and county. From St. Louis we have important tidings from Nebraska and Utah. News had reached Fort Laramie that the Mormons had burned three government trains at a point near Green river: the trains were ninety miles rearward of Col. Alexander, who commands the vanguard of the army. J. B. GABBER The fifth and tenth regiments of infantry, and the artillery battery would take as their winter quarters the Mormon villages on Bear river. Gov. Izard, of Nebraska, arrived at St. Louis on the 10th instant, en route for his home in Arkansas. lie has forwarded his resignation to Washington. The arrival of the 'Tennessee at Nen. Or leans from Vera Cruz, gives Mexican dates to the 9th instant, and City of Mexico to the :ith. The Tennessee brings over half a mil lion in specie. On the 9th inst., the political guarantees of the New Constitution were suspended, and President Cotnonfort was created Die. MEI Martial lan• has been proe.aimed in the Distriet of CuernaNaen, in consequence of the difficulties between the Spanish and Mexican residents. EMMA. NOV. 11.—The New York A, Erie. and Williamsport & Elmira railroad bridge, at this place, is nearly gone. No trains can pass over it. The New York S.; Erie road, is completely used up, the track and bridges, are all gone near every stream. No trains are running in either direction from this place. The water is going down slowly. Items of News. American Oratory Is there such a thing as American orato ry? We doubt it. We'say we doubt it, be cause seldom or never do we find an Ameri can orator who speaks the American lan guage, (that is the language heretofore er roneously called English—see edict of the Czar Alexander,) purely, grammatically, and altogether in a manner worthy of the national and political importance of that tongue. English orators may do no better, or even worse, for what a•e know, when they ! undertake to speak American. But then, it should be remembered that it is a foreign language to them—that Noah Webster is not yet respected as he should be in English schools and colleges—and consequently that they should not be expected to exhibit an equal proficiency in its use with those who are "native and to the manner born"—if we may be allowed to quote that hackneyed pas sage from a play of one William Slacks peare, who attempted to write dramas in American, and only succeeded in writing jargon. We are happy to say, however, that after Shakspeare failed and Milton blundered, Addison, Johnson and Junius succeeded somewhat better, and to-day we have the testimony of an American witness, no mean authority as a critic, to the affect that Bul wer and D'lsraeli, Englishmen, speak the American language very creditably, and not only creditably, but make "capital speeches" when they speak it. In other words, George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, re ferring to the late addresses of Bulwer and D'lsraeli to their respective constituencies, in an off-hand way at agricultural banquets, the former at St. Albans, and the latter at Newport Pagnell, eulogizes the speeches in question, and makes a pathentic hit at the " spread eagle" school of American elo quence, in this wise : " All things consider ed, they are capital speeches, filled with ideas, modest, forcible, pertinent, happy, graceful and eloquent—ripe speeches—just such speeches, in short, as educated men of the world everywhere ought to make, but unhappily such as very few in this country have the slightest conception of. By the way, when will the overshadowing wing of the "spread eagle" get out of the sunlight of American eloquence, and let it ripen ?" We hope Prentice will persist in his hits and criticisms, until American eloquence is brought front beneath the upas shadow of the bird of the beaded beak, piercing eye and illimitable wings, and rescued from the vulgarity and puerility of the Stump, and the insufferable inanity and transparent hutnbuggery of Buncombe. The people are superior to the most of their orators, and that is the reason the harangues of the lat ter do not now affect an audience as the speeches of Demosthenes stirred an Atheni an assembly. The Athenians, though very impressible, were eminently critical and fas tidious, and it was necessary that the Athe nian orator should speak the purest Attic, should be elegant and perspicuous in style, orderly and logical in his method, and grace ful in his delivery, if he would escape being voted an ignoramus, a blunderer, and a " bore." It is a mistake to imagine that assemblies at this day could not be impressed and swayed as Demosthenes and Cicero swayed Athenian and Roman audiences. But to accomplish this, our public speakers must elevate themselves to occupy a similar rela tion to their hearers that those celebrated orators held in addressing an assembly of acute and critical Athenians, or an audience of grave and thoughtful Boman Senators.— ! Therein lies the great desideratum. Upon this hint our American orators should act. We hope they may. SLperstitious Belief In Destiny. TUE MISSION . 01' TIIC I.IIILANTIIROPIST Napoleon the Nephew, like Napoleon the Uncle, believes that he has a great mission to fulfil and that his life is in no peril until it is accompli-he,'. But of how little.impor tance to the world is the mission of an Em peror, when compared with that of a philan thropist like Holloway. He indeed without impropriety perhaps, might be supposed to be under the protection of a special provi dence, for his mission is to revive the sick, to soothe bodily anguish, to save human life; these are the deeds of benificence and love and mercy. From all quarters we hear of the most astounding cures accomplished by his inestimable Pills and Ointment. To the former of these remedies all diseases of the skin, the muscles, and the glands, seem to y, ield like morning mists before the sun. The Pills put to the route indigestion, liver complaint, and disorders of the bowels with equal certainty. Our "national disease," dyspepsia, is in peril of annihilation, and we have seen enough to feel assured that when ever Holloway's Pills are universally admin. istered for this distressing complaint, it will inevitably be "expelled from society."—' Every day confirms the opinion we have heretofore expressed, that Holloway's med icines are the only preparations in existence that operate directly upon the sources of dis ease, and we should be willing, in case of sickness, to throw away the pharmacopoeia, forbid the doctor our presence, and trust to them and THEM ALONE.—Boeton Journal. ELECTION FRAUDS IN KANSAS.—The fol lowing paragraph which we copy front a Kansas letter (says the Pittsburg Commer cial Journal) is quite interesting and orig. gestire: "On (ov. Waiker's return from the pre cinct of Oxford he halted at Lawrence, and taking out of his portfolio a large roll of paper, said to the crowd that he would show them a curiosity, if they promised not to destroy it. Ile then unrolled the returns of precinct of Oxford, (in Kansas,) which con tained one thousand six hundred and one names, all written in the same handwriting, and which measured exactly fifty-four feet in length! All the names, except ono hun dred and twenty, were copied from 'Wil liams' Cincinati Directory,' those commence ing with the same letter following each other as regularly as they do upon the pages of that book!" It is a fact that some voices, gone rally very disagreeable, sourld exquisite mu tic when they say good bye. A lbws° PI ACE OF RoneseumnE.—A cu rious discovery has lately been made, while repairing the house formerly occupied by the Jacobin Club during the great revolu. Lion, and now known as the Hotel de Lou dres, in the Rue St. Hyacinthe, St Honore. The Club which guided the destinies of the revolution during some few years bad often boasted of allowing the ambition of Robes pierre and other leaders to progress so far, and no farther; and the members by vote had passed a law which entitled the majori ty to exclude from any particular seance any particular member whose interests might lead him to sway the opinions of the club. Robespierre, whose ambition had rendered hint an object of suspicion, had of ten been voted out of the assembly; and it has been a matter of surprise to the histo rian of the time, that he could have so long maintained his influence in spite of the vio lence of the opposition thus permitted. The secret is now revealed: A small room—a hiding place in the thickness of the wall— has just been discovered, opening by a trap door into the very hall where the deliber ations were being carried on, and whence he could listen to time measures to be taken against him, and, thus forearmed, have power to defeat them. It is evident that this hiding place must have been occupied by Robespierre; and when first entered by the workmen, the traces of his presence. were still visible in the journal which lay upon the table, and the writing paper, from which had been torn small portions, as if for the purpose of making a memorandum.— The only book which was found in the place was a volume of Florain, open at the second chapter of Claudine. It was covered with snuff. which had evidently been shaken from the reader's shirt-frill, and bore testi mony to the truth of history which records the simplicity of the literary tastes of Rob espierre. llis presence seemed still to hang about that small space, as though he bad quitted it but the moment before; and, sin gular enough, the marks of his feet, as though he had recently trodden through the mud, were still visible on the tiles with which the flooring is composed. SLOIIING.—Thero is not a more pernicious habit, nor one that grows more insensibly open a man, than that of sighing. Besides wasting a great deal of good breath that we Want for something better, it wears out tho lungs; it induces iric7,ularity of respiration; it quickens the action of the heart; and it depresses the spirits—just as a hearty laughs exhilarates them. With some, too, it is a mere habit. I have known some very even tempered men who seem to take it as a sort of safety valve for blowing off superfluous wind from their chests; and so inveterate does it grow upon them, that they come out with their suspirations at all sorts of queer times and unsuitable occasions, treating, it may be, a whole company, who are listening to a witty raconteur, or a lively song, with a "heigh ho!" that is quite appalling. Front whatever causes it arises, I pronounce sigh ing to be a vain, pestilent, and profitless op eration, to be discountenanced alike by phy sician, philosopher, and friend. If a man is down in the world, it will not raise him; if he is empty, it will not fill him; if he is poor, 'tis the worst way in the world to raise the wind. "A plague on sighing," says pleasant old Jack l'allstaff, "it blows a man up like a bladder." It does worse, say 1, it, blows a man oft' like froth from a tankard of ale; it blows a man out, like the fl“me from the wick of a candle.—Dublin Unker sity Ifayazine. Bra in.num: Cornm—Townsend S. Glover, of the Patent Office at Washington, who is traveling through the South, to examine into the diseases of the cotton plant, was recently enlightened in regard to a new species of cotton, in a manner thus described by the Memphis correspondent of the N. 0. Picapunc: He was traveling a few days ago, frouallelly Springs, on the cars, when they passed through a section of country where the land was entirely sterile, the cotton be ing only a few inches high. An overseer was sitting on the seat before him. "Why what do you call this?" asked Glover.— "Why, that's cotton." "Cotton?" he asked again in surprise. "Yes, a new kind of cot ton, sent out by the Patent Office." This was a matter of interest to Glover, so he opened his eyes wider. "What is the name of the cotton?" ':The bumblebee cotton," quietly remarked his companion. "Why that name?" "Because it grows so small a bumble bee kin sit on his tail and suck all the blossoms without moving." All hands broke into a loud laugh, and Glover acknowl edged himself sold. Mormons or Wart.—A British clergyman in a recent discourse, mentioned as illustra tions of the extent of the bereavements caused by the Indian mutiny, that a gentle man of his acquaintance had lost twenty two relatives in India within six weeks; and that out of thirteen of a family party, which met last year at St. Andrew's, only one is now living—twelve having gone out to In dia and fallen victims to the mutiny.
