He has occasionally carried tor short dis •an -es, d wn hill, a million dollars in gold, which weighs two tons; bu' bis opiniou is that seven hundred thousand dollars is about as much as a humane man will ever peiunt his horse to draw over these rough pavements for aav con-idetaLlc di.stat.ee. On a busy day he will have as many as twenty loads of precious metals. A load of gold, when it goes across the town, is usually accompanied Ly a clerk of the house to which it beloogs; John is quite alone when fie has as mud. gold on his cart as a horse can draw. For such service he gets higher compensation than when he carries an office-desk or a load of printing paper; and, indeed, he has the air of a man who could show a little gold and silver of his own if'there were occasion.

The traveler was about to re.-ume his jnurmy, but the girl never hav ng seen a oitue. asked: "Waat am I to do with the dime,?'' "You may use it as you wish," he replied, "it is yours. ' 'if that's the case," said she. "I 11 give you back the dime and take another kiss." A few days since, a man in order to save toll over a bridge near Birmingham, Vt, hitched his hor-C and walked over. On re turning, he found that his horse had been frightened, ran away, aud destroyed the carriage and harness.
