Fright in Ijic Catacombs ol Paris. The catacombs of Paris extend beneath a considerable part of the Faubourg St. Ger main, and especially the Rues St. Jacques, do la Harpo, do Tournon, do' .Vaugirard, the Theatre del’ Odebn, the church of St. Sulplcc, the Pantheon, Ynlde-Grnco; the Observatoiro, etc.; and they go beyond the fortifications to Monrogue. In them, as is known, are deposit ed the hones which wore collected from differ ent burial places of Paris, bn the suppression, in the time of tho Revolution, iff cemeteries within the walls'; and these ghastly objects are piled, up in such a way as to form galler ies or streets, which extend for miles. It is recorded that at different times numerous per sons have lost their way in these dreadful re gions, 1 and have died of hunger and terror. .Prom a French paper wo learn that four men have recently almost by miracle, from this terrible death. M. 'Katory, one of tho keepers ,of the cafacombs, having occasion to change a look of tho door ,of one the galler ies, went, on the previous afternoon to the spot, accompanied by a locksmith named Cha bral, that man’s apprentice, of tho name Mor on, and M. Ouanno, an architect’s pupil. In ' credible to relate, they took ,only one candle and did not evenplacoitih alantern,and mrire extraordinary still, did not carry with them any, matches. No sooner bad they . reached, the door where tho job was to bo done, than a sud den puff of air blew out tho light. Under the guidance of Katory; they attempted to find thpir way back; but notwithstanding his minute knowledge of the road,:they wept as tray, and spent hour after hour in going up one gallery and down another.; In total dark ness, they could not find any clue to' direct thorn to an outlet, and tho further they walk ed, the more desperate thoir situation appear ed to become. At length, after-several.hours Spent in pacing up and down, tlioy wore com pletely exhausted by fatigue and terror. Then Katory had a happy idea; “■ lot us shout for help,’’ ho said ; “ perhaps we may be heard they did shout, but for hours more their cries remained unheard .amid the din of the noise above. Nor was tho night more, favorable, as few persons pass through that part of tho city at bight. At length, towards toil o’clock iu the morning, a journeyman printer named Phillippart, employed on a journal, was re turning to his residence, 10 Rue Dummy Trb uin, near the Luxembourg, and, when near his door, it seemed to him, that.ho heard cries of distress from under thb earth,' At first ho fancied ho was laboring under-'an illusion,- but, on listening, ho distinctly heard human’ voices, from below an iron slab which covers .an orifice opening into the catacombs. He summoned some - police officers, and they, hearing tho same: cries; cauaed tho slab to bo removed. “ Who are you down, tboro,; and what are you doing ?”. asked one of the officers; arid the answer was given,' “ Wo arc four men ; !.

Mr. Jones —l manured this field with brains. Mr. Smith —’Pshaw I All tho Cincinnati hog-killers couldn’t supply brains enough for this ten aero field. Mr. Jones— l used human brains, of which tboro are plenty. Mr. Smith— Nonsense. Now don’t make fun of mo bebause I’m unlucky, and Provi dence has sent you a good crop. Mr. Jones —Providence helps those-who help themselves. I used my own ■ brains on this field. Mr. Smith— So did I mine, and they areas good.as anybody’s. .:■■■• .

Mr,. Smiih-r ; l’ve always, been down on this “ hook fanning,” but your crops stagger mb, they’re real knock-down arguments, I’m sick of the poor show I get for all my work, and am desperate enough to try anything for improvement. Mr. Jones —l’ll give you my experience; -it may aid you. About nineteen years ago, I heard that some men- who had been brought up on farms had clubbed together, and one of them was going to publish a paper, vrhifch should consist mainly of accounts of how dif ferent fanndrs cultivated various crops, l and. ■such like matters. X sont for the paper and, .have done so every year since, and now I have , iuneteniv;lnrge I have read, a little ai a time, an^ s ®rMvhdle has not; cost the produce of a single aefe.

( But then, every .thought I. got from auotlior, f starts a new thought in ■mg'own mind, and thus I am constantly improving my own skill and practice. You see, X get all tho brains X can from other men’s heads, and. compost them well in my.own head with a mixture of common souse, and then make tho application to my fields. In that , way I .have -manured thl? crop of potatoes .with plenty of brains. The editor called here last week on his west ern tour among farmers, and seeing my good crops, ho asked mo to writo but just how' I have treated, this field 1 for years past, and I | promised,to do it as soon as my orops are •gathered.'

Mr, Smith—AVhat are the politics of that paper? • , Mr. Jones— lt doesn’t touch politics. It is devoted to such subjects as Field and Garden crops, Animals, oto., and lias, destdos, n, good deal about Toman’s Work,. which wife says is worth more than ten times the foiv pounds of butter it costs to pay for the paper. , Then there is also a department for thoyoun'g folks containing -many things- which please the children—not mere trashy stuff, such as is top often printed far them,, hut inforumtion that will have a good influence oh them. • I would sell a dozen bpshols of wheat to havo niy young poqplo got the good reading in that pa- , per, but the average price of one bushel, pays I | for it a year, fily John says ho caii pay for : l it ensy with tho oggs frbip two : or thrpo boas.
