The other morning he called with his assortment at a lager beer saloon over the canal. "Want any signs!" be inquired of the portly proprietor. "Yaw," said Hans, "I vents a sign 'Saw dust Vented.''' "Here it is," said the dealer, who was a bit of a wag, handing him one of the small pox signs; and receiving his pay de parted. The unsuspected Teuton, supposing that it was all right, and not being able to read English, hung it outside the door. People passing on the walk, saw the sign, turned pale, and hurried to the other side of the street. Regular customers came, caught sight of the ominous inscription, with a hand on the door knob, and stole away, re marking that they guessed they weren't dry that morning, anyhow. Au opportune creditor, whom nothing could daunt before, blanched at the sign, and going home, he went straight to bed. Itt the meantime the saloon-keeper was wondering at the absence of his customers. The regular forenoon lunch was spread— soup, boiled tripe, bologna sausage, stewed liver and onions, sauerkraut, and brown bread—but no one to partake of it. Being of a social disposition, this solitude was op pressive to Itim;.aside from being unprofita ble. At length one man did come in and call for a glass of beer. His face was deep "l see by your sign out there," said the man, with a motion of the head toward the front door, "that you have got it here." "Nein," replied Huns, supposing that be alluded to sawdust 'Wanted; " I don' have got 'em now already. I joost puts out mine sign so I getch em ven dey goines dis vay, all the vile l" "You want to catch it?'' said the cus tomer in amazement.

The Widows' Wood Society, of Portland, Me., has been in operation for sixty years— perhaps more. When formed, its object was to supply poor widows having families with wood for the winter. Coal was then scarcely known in New England. Thirty five years ago a friend of mine, Mr. E. S., then a storekeeper, now a banker, was Secretary and. Treasurer of the Society. The winter was very severe, the calls great, and the funds exhausted. There lived at that time a wealthy gentle man in Portland, Mr. James During, a man of kind heart, but of that kind of eccentrici ty which loves ajoke. My friend, the Secre tary, was, one very cold morning, just opening his shop windows when he saw Mr. During coming down the street in a sleigh, and, us he came opposite, beckoning him to stop, which he did, and drew up to the sidewalk. Said my friend : "Mr. D., I 'stopped you to tell you a re markable dream I had last night.'• Ah, indeed !" "Yes; I dreamed that the weather was very cold, and I was opening shop in the morning, us you just saw me, I saw you coming down the street in a sleigh. I book oned for you to stop, and told you that the funds of Widows' 'Wood Society were all gone; that the calls were numerous and 'could not be supplied, and you went right into your store and gave me your check for a hundred dollars."

Without another word he went into the store, and making his cheek for a hundred dollars, said : "There! don't dream any more," and drove on about his business. The same day twenty loads of wood were sent to as many widows to relieve them and their families [roma freezing condition.- R.c. The Census stud Agriculture. The Commissioner of Agriculture has ad dressed a long communication to General Garfield, chairman of the Census Commit tee, indicating the facts that ought to be col lected in the interest of the farmers. It states that neither the average of timber nor of various crops has ever been obtained. It suggests the importance of having sepa rate statistics of winter and spring wheat, and also that the average of corn, root crops, field peas and winter rye should be entered by themselves. The loss by disease of farm animals has been estimated by the Department to approximate fifty millions of dollars per year, and the propriety of gathering information on that subject is mentioned. He also thinks it desirable to collect figures showing the ravages of in sects upon the fruit, grain and cotton crops. The average of orchards and vineyards is also asked for; also, information regarding new crops lately introduced in the South, maxii-tfw *Jetted goetry. Vtisrtilautou# gtading. "Selnuall Box."

The Washington Star has the following: Recently a communication appeared in the Star, claiming for Mrs. M.

We have now from Mr. Whittier the followihg letter, in which ho holds to his faith in Barbara, and gives good reason for so doing. As there is no doubt, from the testimony of at least four witnesses, that Mrs. Quantrill's claim is well founded, there seems to be considerable mystification in the matter. Probably the true solution is that both I I these brave Union women displayed their patriotism and their courage in the same way on the same occasion : 7b the Editor of the Star : I have received a copy of thy paper, containing a letter from a lady who claims to have been the hero ine of the flag of Frederick.

For months past a band of horse thieves and miscreants led by a notorious charac ter, named Jack Davenport, have infested Burgoyne, Tishomingo county, Miss., making life and property so insecure that it could not longer be endured. The sheriff and a posse of citizens turned out in search of the outlaws. Davenport was discovered by one of the posse on the railroad not far from Burnsville. As he approached Dav enport hailed him and asked him who he was; getting no answer he repeated the question, but the citizen not replying he drew a pistol and shot at him twice, but missed, when the citizen who was armed with a shot gun, fired upon Davenport, putting two loads of buckshot in his body killing him instantly. During the day seven others of the band wore overhauled. Four of them were taken to Jacinto, the county seat, and three left in confinement at Burnsville. That night a party of citi zens took those out, without judge or jury, and buns or shot them. Such scenes are terrible, and to be deplored, but outraged society must protect itself, Horse thieves will be scarce in that locality after this.

Perhaps those of our readers having neither time to care for nor means to pur chase the many beautiful house plants to be procured from the hot houses, and which require constant looking to, will thank us for telling them that an exquisite wining plant may be procured by placing a sweet potato in a large mouthed jar and covering it with water. By usinga glass jar the pro cess of sprouting which is intensely interest ing to the naturalist, may be observed. It will require near live weeks to begin v Ming, and will grow more rapidly if allowed a moderate degree of sunlight, but may be placed in any part of the room and will soon twine the most graceful tendrils about statuette,' picture frames, or niched into the corner of a window will play bopeep with spring winds in the daintiest manner pos sible.

A large number of farmers from Chester, Delaware and Bucks countios,metyesterday morning with the membersof the Philadel phia Society for Promoting Agriculture, in the rooms of the, Society, Ninth and Wal nut streets, for the purpose of discussing the subject of disease among cattle, and to devise a remedy for the evil.. In the absencs of Craig Biddle, Esq., Dr. Ellwyn was called to the chair, and Thomas M. Coleman acted as Secretary. The far mers present having been called upon by the chair to state, for the information of the meeting., as to the prevalence of the disease among the cattle in the counties represent ed by them, a number responded. Mr. Patterson, of Chester county; stated that the disease which attacked the cattle in his neighborhood, was similar to lung fever in the horse, and a number had died soon after tboy were taken sick. On examlog the dead animals it was found that the I ungs were very soft and black. He thought proper care was not taken to ventilate and keep clean the stables in which the disease prevailed. Mr. David Woelpper, of Chester county, stated that the . disease broke out in his cat- tle in January last, mid he lost a cow and ox on the sixth day after they were taken. The cattle were raised on the place, and could not have caught it' trona other stock. All his cattle, thirty in number, had been diseased, and a few of them are still sick. lie believed he had cured many of them by using aconite, arceuicum and byrona. Mr. 13. M. Custer, of Delaware county, gave an interesting account of the disease . which prevailed among his cows in. 18.59 4 and from which a largo number died. Ile was under the impression teat the disease was transmitted through the neighboring counties, by cows purchased at the drove yards. In reply to a question, he stated that when the cow was firs( taken sick the hair stands up and the animal moves away from the other cattle. He thought com missioners should be appointed under authority of the State to examine all cattle supposed to be sick, and kill them if deem ed necessary. Mr. Hawkins, of Delaware county, stated that the disease prevailed among his cattle at the present time, and ho used aconite, with good effect. He was satisfied that leg islative authority should be obtained to kill animals after being pronounced-diseased by a competent commission. Dr. Emerson was of the opinion that local causes produced nearly all the diseases of cattle: want of ventilation in cattle stables, filth in the yards and under the floors, sending out gases detrimental to a healthy condition of the stock. He thought it was as necessary to legislate for the purpose of making farmers properly care for their cat tle,'as to kill the cattle when diseased. Dr. Xing said a bill. to allow any man or men to go into a herd of cattle and order them killed, on their judgment, as to, the fully drawn. No one could know that an . animal was sick until the disease made its appearance, and he did not believe the com munity would be willing to pay the price demanded for the cattle killed by order of any commission. Mr. Townsend, of West Chester, believed that the Legislature should pass an act ap pointing scientific gentlemen to visit the Drove Yards for the purpose of pointingout diseased cattle, to prevent their sale. He also believed that local causes often pro duced the disease, and that farmers should be more careful in ventilatingand cleansing their cattle stables. After some remarks, of Mr. Darlington, editor of the Bucks county fateillgence):, Pant, Morris and others, Mr. Paul moved that a committee be appointed to memori alize the Legislature, and also prepare a bill, tO bo sent to Harrisburg, providing for the appointment of a Commission or Commissioners to examine diseased cattle, said draft of a bill to bo laid before an ad journed meeting on Saturday next, at twelve o'clock. The resolution was adopt ed, and the Chairman appointed Messrs. Paul, Townsend, llo.wkins, Custer and Morris. The following suggestions to the commit tee, in preparing the bill, were ❑greed to by t he meeting: Iht. That one-third of all the Commis sioners or Inspectors be veterinary sur geons, and the balance practical stock own ers. 3»d, That no animal be killed without the consent of one veterinary surgeon, and one stock owner.
