An aged and venerable friend, residing in one of the cities on our Eastern seaboard, a gentleman of character and worth, once re lated to nie the following anecdote of the horse, illustrating in a remarkable manner, the sagacity of this animal. At the close of the revolutionary war, when everything was unsettled and in disorder, an ; acquaintance residing on the Boston road, j some 30 or 40 miles from New York, lost a j valuable young horse, stolen from the stable at night/ Great search and inquiry were made for him, but no tidings of him could be heard, and no trace of him could ever be dis covered. Almost &ix full years had row elapsed, and the recollection even of the lost animal, had nearly faded from the mind. At this period a gentleman from the east, in the course of business, was traveling on horseback on this road, on his way to Philadelphia. M hen within four or five miles of a village on the road, the traveler was overtaken by a respect able looking gentlemen on horseback, a resi dent of the village, returning home from a short business ride. Hiding along side by side, they soon engaged in pleasant desultory conversation. The gentleman was soon struck 1 with the appearance of the traveler's horse. And every glance of the eye cast towards ; him, seemed to excite an interest and curios- j ity to look at him again, and to revive a re collection of something he had seen before, and soon established in his mind the impres sion, that fur all the world he looked like the horse he had lost some six years ago. This soon became so irresistibly fixed in his mind, that he remarked to the traveler, 4 You have a fine horse, sir.' ; ' Yes,' he replied, 4 an exceedingly valuable and excellent animal.' ' What is his age, sir ?' 4 Well, I suppose him to be about ten or eleven years old.' 4 You did not raise him then ?' * No, I purchased him of a stranger, a traveler, nearly six years since.' 4 Do you reside in this part of the country?' 'No, I reside in the Bay State, and am on my way to Philadelphia, on business. How lar is it to New York ' Well, sir, 1 really regret to interrupt you, or put you to inconvenience—but I am con strained to say, I believe you have in posses sion a horse that I must claim.' The traveler looked with surprise and amazement, and replied, 4 What do you mean, sir V ' I believe the horse you are on, in truth, belongs to me. Five years ago, the past au tumn, a valuable young horse was stolen from my stable. Great search was made for him, but no tidings of him ever came to hand. In color, appearance, and movements, it seems to me he was the exact counterpart of the horse you are on. It would be hardly possible, I think, for two to be so near alike. 'Rut my horse was an uncommonly intelligent, sagacious animal. And I will make a propo sition to you, that will place the matter in Huck a position, that the result will be conclu sive and satisfactory, I think, to both of us. j We are now within a mile of my residence, j which i on the road, in the centre of the vil- j i ge before us. When we arrive at the house j E J ©WSS' 9 SEKFIFMXr IPiio i vour horse shall be tied to the east post in ; front of my door. The horse lam on, to the west post. After standing a short time, the bridle of your horse shall be taken off-—and | if he docs not go to a pair of bars on the ! west side of the house, and pass over, and go i round to the east side of the barn, and pull out a pin, and open the middle stable door I and enter, I will not claim him. If he does, I will furnish conclusive evidence that he ! was bred by me, but never sold—that he was i stolen from me just at the conclusion of the i war, about the very time you say you pur j chased him.' The traveler assented to the trial. The j horse was hitched to the post as proposed— i stood a few minutes—the bridle was then ; taken off—he raised his head—pricked up Ins I ears—looked up the street, then down the j street several times —then deliberately and I slowly walked past the house anil over the j bars, and to the stable door as described, and i with his teeth and lip drew out the pin. and ! opened the door, and entered into his old i stall. We hardly need add he was recognized by the neighbors, who fully attested to the ! facts stated by the claimant, and that the traveler lost his title to the horse.— Rural Xevrspaper. - Hisset tiie Animal Teacher. Few individuals have presented so stri i king an instance of patience and eecen trieity as Bisset, the extraordinary teacher of animals, lie was a native of Perth, and an industrious shoemaker, until the notion of : teaching animals attracted hi< attention, in ! the year 1759- Leading an account of a I remarkable horse shown at St. Germain, curiosity led him to experiment upon a in rse I ami a dog, which lie bought in London, and he succeeded in training them beyond all ex pectation. Two monkeys were the next pupils bo took in hand, one of which he i taught to dance and tumble on the rope, whilst the other held a candle in one paw for ' his companion, and with the other played I the barrel-organ. These animals he also in structed to play some fanciful tricks ; such as drinking to the company, riding and ; tumbling on a horse's back, and going ' through several regular dances with a dog. All this, it may be said, was very ri i diculous. No doubt it was ; at the same • time, the results showed the power of culture jin subduing natural propensities. Bisset s teaching of cats was a signal instance of this power. Having procured three kittens, lie began their education with his usual patience, lie at length taught these miniature tigers to • strike their paws in such directions on the dulcimer as to produce several regular tunes, , having music books before them, equalling ! at 4he same time in different keys or toiu s. I first, second, and third, ly way of concert. ; lie afterwards was induced to make a public ' exhibition of his animals, and the well known Cat's Opera, in which they performeiL, was advertised in the Ilay-niarkct Theatre. The horse, the dog. the monkeys, and the cats, went through their several parts with uncommon applause to crowded houses; and in a tew dav s Lisset found himself posse>sed ; of nearly a thousand pounds, to award his ingenuity and perseverance. 1 his success excited ILsset's desire to cx ; tend his dominion over the animals, inclu : ding even the feathered kind, lie procured a young leveret, and reared IT to beat s< vera! ( marches on the drum with its hind legs, un til it became a good stout hare. He taught | canary-birds, linnets and sparrows, to spell i the name of any person in company, to dis- I tinguish the hour and minute of time, and ; perform many other surprising fl ul.-- lb: ; trained six turkey-cocks to go through a regu lar eontra-dancc. He also taught a turtle to ( fetch and carry like a dog. How a Mohammedan Huns. In civilized countries, the collection of "bad debts" is attended with much difficulty. The Mohammedans, however, have a method of managing a reluctant debtor, which "is at ouce simple and efficacious. Jt is thus de ! scribed by a recent traveller; I "Meeting a person in any spot to whom you wish to apply the khatt, you exclaim, j "The Sultan detains von here." He instant ly stands still; and, without bond or guard, | remains there until The dhoti is : prescribed for light faults and for debt. when a creditor has several times met his j debtor and asked for hi- due, and the debtor j while recognizing the debt, puts off payment, the creditor can, at discretion, stop his man, make him sit down, and then, with the point ; his lance, he truces tin the ground a circu lar line, saying, " Jn the name of Allah and the Prophet! in the name of Sultan and the motliei of Sultan ; in tne name of the tena ; !a particular office,) supporters of the State, | thou shalt not leave this circle until thou hast i paid thy debt. Ihe debtor is obliged n> re , main enclosed and sitting in his khatt until 1 some one intercedes with the creditor, and he j consents to release the prisoner. If the crod j itor remain inflexible and inexorable, the prisoner remains in his khatt until he'pays his debt, if breaking the bounds he crosses i the line, and the creditor complains to the Sultan, the fugitive is pursued, tuken where ever lie is found, and severely punished. 4m m r An aged preacher once preaching from Revelations about the " beast with seven heads aid t n horns, seemed to get into the brush. Liit he was a veteran and not easily surprised. Seeing that he had ventured into doep waters, he said to his congregation, 4 Brethren, yon may think that I am in a dif culty to-day and can't get out of it, but 1 will show you better than that* Let us look to the Lord and be dismissed.' Ma, said a little girl to her mother, 4 do men want to get married as much as the women do V 4 Pshaw, what are you talking about?' Why, ma, the women who come here arc alvvay3 talking about getting married, the men don't <i. so. A married man, who was out at a whist j party, wh a he proposed going home, was | urged to stay a little longer. ' Well,' lie re i plied, 4 perhaps I might as well; mv wife, j probably, is already as mail us she can U! FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1852. Dwlght and Dcnnic. The following old anecdote is worth repeat ing. Some years since, as Dr. Dvvight was traveling through New Jersey, ho chanced to stop at the stage hotel in one of its popular towns for the night. At a late hour of the same, arrived also at the inn, Mr. Dennie, ■ who had the misfortune to learn from the landlord that his beds were all paired with j lodgers, except one occupied by the celebrat ed Dr. Dvvight. 4 Show me to his apartment,' i exclaimed Dennie, although 1 am a stranger to the Dr., perhaps I may bargain with him I for my lodgings. The landlord accordingly waited on Mr. Dennie to the doctor's room, and there left him to introduce himself. The doctor, although in his night-gown, cap and slippers, and just ready to resign himself to the refreshing arms of somnus, po litely requested the strange intruder to be seated. Struck with the physiognomy of his companion, he then unbent his austere brow. : and commenced a literary conversation. The names of \\ ashington. Franklin, Kitten lion sc. I and a host of distinguished literary charac ters, for some time gave a zest and an interest to the conversation, until Dr. Dvvight chanced to mention Dermic. 4 Dennie, the editor of J the Port-l'olio,' says the doctor in a rhapsody, 4 is the Addison of the (Tilted States—the ! father of American b lles-lettres. But, sir,' j continued he, 4 is it not astonishing that a man ot such genius, fancy am'; f"4ing, should abandon himself t< ih • inebriating bovvi V 4 Sir.' said Dennie, 4 you are mistaken. I have been intimately acquainted with Dennie for several years, and 1 never knew or saw him intoxicated.' ' Sir, says the doctor, 4 von err. I have the information from a particu lar friend ; ! am confident that 1 am right and you are wrong.' Dennie now ingenious ly changed the couvi r-ation to the.ciergy, r - marking that Abereiotnbie and Mason wore ; among the most distinguished divines ; imver theJess. lie considered Mr. Dvvight, President of \ ale College, the i, 0.-t learned theologian, the tir>t logician, am the greatest poet that America had produce i. 4 But, sir,' continued Dennie, ' there are trad- in his detractor un , deserving so wise ami great a man. of the ; most detestable description: lie is tin 4 great est bigot ami dogmatist of the age 4 Sir.' -ays tli" doctor, 4 vou are gros-iv mistak n; 1 am intimately acquainted with Dr. Dvvight, and 1 know to ihe contrary.' 4 sir,* says Dcnni:-. "you arc tnbtukcti; 1 have it from ail intimate a •quaintanee of his. who, 1 am confident, would not tell me an un truth.' 4 No more slander,' says the doctor, i 4 1 am Dr. Dvvight, of whom you speak 4 And 1. too,' exclaimed Denuie, •am Mr. Dennie of whom you spoke !'

A Goon (INK.—At a dancing party, not a hundred miles from here, one of tic beaux got a little corned. He, of course, fidi him self as good a- anybody. Asking a young lady, who lived in the vicinity of :> gri-t mi I, to dance, she declined : whereupon lie insti tuted a parley, remarking that if he vva- not good enough to dance with her, ho would come down to th-- mill and be ground over. 4 Come down,' said the lady, * but vou will recollect that the first process in grinding will be to run you through th • smut much in AHVICK TO MARHIED LADIES. — A writer at the south gives the f lowing advie to wives; 'Should you find it necessary, as you tfu doiibtedl v will, many of you. to obu-tise yjmr husbands, you shall perforin this affectionate duty with the soft cud of the brooui, and not w itn the handle.' Throe Irishmen having found four apples, consulted together how to divide tlieni ; one at length, wiser than the rest, undertook it. and divid -d them in the following manner ; I ' Here's two for vou two, and here's two for me too.'

This is getting up steam to some pur pose. Mr. Burnham informs us that his sales for large samples from his imported Chinese fowls, had reached over £4OOO since the last November show in Boston—aver aging upwards of a week. He has re ceived as high as SSO for a single pair of his 4 Cochin Chinas,' and the demand for these birds still continues throughout the whole South and West.— Boston Times. A LADV ROBBED BY ONE OK HER HEIRS. — The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, tells a curious story of a doctor, who, it says, stolen box ol notes worth S4OOO, from the chamber of an old lady, in Russel, to whom he was an heir, among others, and after she was dead, he unbosomed himself to Mr. Dc Wolf ol Chester, and offered to him SSOO dollars, for his services in manufacturing a legal instru ment, "with the name, of the deceased affixed to it, conveying to the doctor the whole ; property in the stolen notes. Mr. De Woli I managed the thing very well, got all the notes in his possession, and surrendered the property and the thief to an officer who was in his house at the time.
