The Horse—His Memory and Sagacity.
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

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.'

Why, ma, the women who come here arc
alvvay3 talking about getting married, the
men don't <i. so.

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

4 Sir.' -ays tli" doctor, 4 vou are gros-iv

Dr. Dvvight, and 1 know to ihe contrary.'
4 sir,* says Dcnni:-. "you arc tnbtukcti; 1

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 !'

they mutually shook hands, and were <x
tremely happy in each oiler's acquaintance.
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

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.

TJIK HEX FEVER, — We lately saw a draft
for one-thousand dollars, which had just
been received by Geo. P. Burn ham, Esq.,
from one of his New Orleans correspondents,
in payment for a splendid lot of 4 Cochin
%'hiiia, lied Shanghai' fowls sent out by the
Creseut Citv, by Mr. 8., from his imported
stock. 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. The doctor was

tlie Pennsylvania Railroad. It has been in successful
operation for more than fourteen years, and is believed
to be equal to any Academy in the Stale, in affording |
facilities to young men for acquiring a thorough Aca
demical education, either for business or for college.
There were present, during the last session, (previous
to IF - fire,) more than one hundred students. Since
then, the buildings have been entirely remodeled and
greatly enlarged, so as to afford private rooms to all the
students; an advantage not ordinarily found even in i
the b< st Institutions in th -country. Bring in the coun- j
