How r<> CATCH A T I KF . A -short lime
3 go, a gentleman residing on tins Dela
ware, upon going into the smoke house in
\h<3 morning t<* tauke up his fire as was
fits custom, discovered that the house had
been broken open the previous night, and
ail his meat stolen. Sicspectsug k was
somebody who must have been acquaint
d about his place and knew of his well
-filled smoke house, fie said not a word to
3tiy one about his loss, l.ut went as usual
every morning, ami made p his tire as
though nothing had occurred —leaving the
affair to divulged as it might. For
two weeks he said nothing of hia loss, and
had almost given up hopes of the success
of his plan, when one morning a colored j
man, living in ihe neighborhood, meeting i
:iim oa his place, askid hint very eon- i
cenvedly whether he had found out yet
-who robbed his smoke house.
4 1 have,' said Mr. S.
4 Ah ! who might it be V
' It's vou' —seizing the man by the co!-
'ar— 4 yen scoundrel, and unless you im
mediately return me all uiy meat, I 'll have
•you arrested and puuished.'
The negro, trembling with affughi,
promised instant compliance, if massa j
wouldn't have him sued. In half an hour j
after, the meat was again in Mr.S's smoke
house, and (lie fellow agreed at once to
ieeve the neighborhood.
As the guilty party was retiring, he
asked Mr- S. Uw he discovered that it
was he that robbed hint, as lie was sure
that nobody had witnessed the theft, and
that he had told nobody.
4 That was just the case with me. I
told nobody, so that we two were the only
persons that knew any thiug abou tit.'
HCMOBIST. — The Duke of Montague
was a great humorist. Among other ori
ginal modes in which he contrived to min
s-ter to his own amusement, he had ade
fective looking-glass susjiended in his
.Irawing-room, so that ail the noble guests
who chanced to dine at Montague House
were induced, on passing the treacherous
mirror, to adjust their wigs awry. In that
•lav a full dressed wig was as essential as
a full-dressed coat ; and his grace's dinner j
table coturaonlv presented an assemblage
•of noble lords uith their perukes dragged '
down into the right eye, each wondering
at his neighbor's disorderly appearance,
and congratulating himself (hat in setting
hia own wig in the drawing room, he had
•escaped from the absurdity disfiguring the
rest of the company.

'Because, de moon shines in de night ;

Thompson ip Reed; Esteemed Friends—
I have had tiie Pennock Drill in use for two
seasons, and from the vaet difference in the
wheat crop over the broad cast, it is my decid
ed opinion that every farmer should have one
of them, as he will be a gainer of at least oue
third on each acre of his crop.
A. s. VALENTIN K.
VALLEY, May 28,1849.
Mr. Ahner Thompson; Dear Sir—The
Pennock Drill 1 got from you last summer,
worked to my entire satisfaction, IR rough and
smooth ground. Each tube and hopper work
; ing separate and independent of each other, is
a decided advantage, by escaping rocks, roots,
! sowing point rows, &c., and from the appear
ance of my crop at this time, there will be a
better yield to the acre than on what I sowed
broad-cast, besides a saving of one bait bushel
;of seed to the acre. I believe it is one of the
1 most profitable agricultural implements in use
by the farming community.
J AMES BEATTV, Jr.

coming in contact with rocks or roots. I think
from the present appearance of my drilled
wheat, that it will yield enough more on my

Mr. Thompson: Sir—The Pennock Dull
I bought of you last summer worked to my en
tire satisfactiun, both ou rough and smooth
ground, as it is not injured by coining in con
tact with rocks. Each hopper and each tube
works sepaiate and independent of each other;
it will sow all irregular shaped land and point
sows, without sowing any tw ice over ; it saved
at least I bushel of seed to the acre ; and t be
lieve the drilled wheat will yield considerable
more than that sown in the usu il way.
WILLIAM F. SHAW.
I fully and cordially subscribe to thecorrcct
ness of the statement above.
