NEW YORK is feller than ever of refugees und cow ardly southerners, most of them rebels but with no stomach for powder and ball. They till the hotels and boarding houses keep up rents, speculate in gold (a favorite form of helping their brethren at home), swell the enrollment roll but do nothing to till the quotas, and in every way that they have the courage for give aid-and comfort to the rebel cause. Ox Wednesday evening. July 20. the air in the vi ■ cinity of Ogdenebnrg w:is tilled with ashes, and for some time hdd tb appearance of a light snow storm. The wind atVhe time was blowing from the north west. and they must have come from miles away in Canada. About nightfall dense clouds of smoke ' passed over the town, indicating tluit heavy fires were, raging in the forest on the opposite side of the •'St • Lawrence.

"GEXTI.F. won EX EVER KIXD." —Dr. Kane relates • that when, one day, worn out with fatigue, he turn ed into an Esquimaux hut to get a little sleep, the good-natured liostess of tie- wigwam covered him up with some of herOKniudc'limeut*, and gave lib ", her baby for a pillow. LEATHER PlES. —Artsy pies are so terribly tough that soldiers esdl them leather pies. A poor fellow of Grants army, whose arm had just been amputated, was being carried past a stand the other day where an old woman was selling pies, when he raised him self in the ambulance and called out. 'H say old lady, are those pies sewed or pegged.'" NEWSPAPER BCSIXESS, by reason of enhanced wa ges, high prices, taxation.

Mechanical labor is getting better and better every day, but brain work is growing cheap*- aud cheaper. A CHILD THAT TAIJCEI* AT BIRTH. —South Trov is , just now agitated by stories told alwut a child that talked at birth. It prophesied that a comet was com ing in a few weeks and was going to give us a terri ble drought, and that in consequence of the disarange ment of the atmospheric laws there would lie a fam ine according to the inspired baby's prophecy. There are uumbers who have seen the talking child and insist upon the truth of these stories. A WASHINGTON I-FTTER WRITER SATS: "Our theatres are closed, the concert halls can hardly pay expen ses. and business of even- kind drags beavilv. In-, deed Washington has -eon its 'Hush times,' tor it is not probable that we shall have the Army of the Potomac herealxjuts any more, and the lucrative sutler's trade will soon to located at Petersburg then at Richmond " A tailor, who. in skating, fell through the ice, de clared that he would never leave hot goose for cold duck. A favorite mode of introduction in Brazil is said to be, "This is my friend: if he steals anything from you, I atn responsible for it.' 1 WHAT ARE TOE IOOKINO FOR ?—A man was angry with his wife, either because she miked to much, or for some other reason and re-uvea not to speak toh?rfora long, long vitne. He kept iiis resolu tion for a few days very strictly. One evening he is 'lying in bed and wishes to sleep : he draws his night cap over his ears, and his wife may say what she will, he hears nothing of it. The wife then takes a can dle, and carries it to every nook and cornet* of tin room ; she removes stools, chairs, and tables, and looks carefully behind them. The husband sits up in bed. and gazes inquiringly at her movements : he thinks that the din must have an end at last; but he . is mistaken —his wife keeps on looking and search ing. The husband loses patience, and cries, "What are you looking for ?" —"For your tongue,'' she an swers ; "and now that I have found it, tell me why you arc angry."' Hereupon they became good friends again. HEBE:. DISA3*POIVTMEXT BECAUSE WASHINGTON WAS NOT CAPTURED. —She Kithmoud SBnffuirer of the 18th instant says the fall of Washington was most anxiously expected by the people, who were mnch disappointed on learning that the invaders had not accomplished thi.: object, but much gratified amid their chagrin, that "the Yankee capital could be frightened out of its wits. - ' The H/igtiirer'4~untß that Pennsylvania is soon to be scoured by 40,000 rebels as it invites foraging on a large scale, and a foray into that region should cultivate in a r-iott beautiful harvest the already earn seeds of peace.' 1 The Pennsvlvanians are looked on by the Confeder ates as being entirely indifferent to the losses inflict ed on Maryland, as they consider-Maryland with, if not of. the "Confederacy, and hence the popular de sire of the South that the Keystone State sdiould be punished by an -extensive raid. LOSSES BY THE LATE MARYLAND RAID.— We find it estimated that the entire loss by the rebel raid in Maryland will not much exceed two millions of dol lars. Of this amount the Philadelphia, Wilmington r.nd Baltimore Railroad suffered to the extent of something over one hundred thousand dollars ; the Northern Central to about the same amount: the Baltimore and Ohio had seven bridges and four miles of track and several station houses destroyed; tele graph companies wt re damaged to the amount of three or tour thousand dollars : the Chesapeake and Ohio canal had the aqueduct at Antietain destroyed, mid all the locks between Antietnm and Willianus port demolished with between twenty and thirty boats. The county losses are estimated as follow • Hartford county. $ 15.000; Baltimore eo.. £42.(MX) • Carrall eo.. SIO,OOO : Frederick eo., $372,000, in cluding $200.000 ransom money : Washington co. $85,000, and tlie balance was lost bv farmers, store keepers and others, in damage to farms, the pilla ging of shops, ruaniug off cattle, horses, 4c., 4. A PEIRTIERI. IDEA. —In the mountains of Tvrol it is the custom of the women and children to come out when it is bed-time and singtheir national songs cntil they hear the husbands, fathers, and brothers answering thent from the bills on their return hoqjc. On the shores of the Adriatic such a custom vails. There the wives of the fisherman come down about sunset and sing a melody. After singing the first stanza, they listen for an at.*werinr melody7'roin off the water, and continue to sing and listen till the well known voice comes borne on the waters telling that the loved ones are almost -homo. How sweet to the ear\ fisherman, as the shadows gather round him, must he the songs of the loved , oe s at home: and how they must strengthen and tighten the links that bind them together these humble" dwellers bv the sea! Truly it is among the lowly in tlis life that we find some of the most beautiful customs in practice. ANEW DISEASE.— The Buffalo Medical Journal describe at e*diseasejwhicl|has appeared at Cheek-* tawaga, in Krie eountv, New York, of which several persons have died. It commences with a-diarrhea, and is lollowed by emaciation until death supervenes. The autopsy revealed the cause of death to be the presence of the worm Trichini spirilis in the stria ted muscles. The same parasite was also shown in a sausage, of which one of the dead persons had eat en, and without doubt originated from pork. The worm was undoubtedly set tree in the process at di gestion, and immediately pierced the walls of the intestines, creating the diarrhea, and passed through the peritonenm into the muscles. It is very tenaci ous ot life,and will resist a strong heat. The parishes were found in the muscles of the dead persons in large nnm&ere. 1 lie medical men had no doubt that the use of pork as an article of diet was the cause of the disease. The. tape worm, it is believed, nrigonatcs in a similar manner. pROKOtTTD SILENCE in a pablic assemblage has thus neatly desenbedl: "One might have heard the •teaktig of a pocket handkerchief.''
