The process is patented both in this country and in Europe, which ac counts for its -not coming into general use with the Inman lobster, so to speak. A lobster never comes on shore unless he is carried by farce. They are afflicted with but one disease—boils. There is more real excitement in harpooning a whale or in leaving the measels, than in catching lobsters. The fisherman pro vides himself with it small ben coop, and places in it re)r d ntieers, several dear' fish. He then rows his beat to the lobster ground. —which is water—and sinks his coop to the bottom, mid anchors it to a small buoy—one from six to eight years old will do—and then goes back and pulls his ponitty house, and if lee leas good success lee will find the game inside the coop.

IF any one believes that all the stories of the glorious old times of Jackson and Clay campaigns have been used up, he will find how ease it is to be mistaken. \Fitness the - following which comes to ns from old Kentucky, hy the way of Louis iana. Our enterprising, fliend begins thus— "Yon must know"—bnt see did not know—" that around and about the beau tiful city of Lexington, in the state of Kentucky, fora distance of twelve or fif teen mike, there lives—or did live, twen ty years ago—a great number of small fitemers. who find in that city a ready market for the surplus products of their farms, and there they carry it to sell. and buy finery and nick-Hacks for their fami lies. One of these farmers. a poor hut indn-trions man. had. a porker, a few hnshels of meal, potatoes, beans. etc., which be wished to dispose of ; and bor rowing n horse and wagon he packed up his things, and, just at dusk, set oft for town. Arrived at one or two olelnek iu the morning. he entered the m id:et-house and selecting a stall, he split the dressed pig into halves, and burg them on the stout hooks, and with n bag for a pillow, lay down to steep until mornim!.. lie slept soundly and late, and when. be awoke the market people were crowding in and lo! one-half of his pig had been unhooked—and hooked, It was clean gone. He made known his lice. and rav ing and swearing, he drew the whole crown about. bins. As he gran warm with his wrath, he said, I know the sort of man that stole that pork—l do. why not let it out, if you know, and we will bell) find him for you,' they replied. ' Yes, I know . what sort of a man he was—he Was a Clay man.' As old Henry Clay lived within a mile of the market, and4;very man here was ready to go to the (Leath for him, this was a bold speech to make, to accuse a Clay man of stealing half a pig in Lexington, and they closed on him to give him a sontul ihrashing • when one demanded what made claim think so. ' Why, nobody but a Clay man would hey done it; of he had heen a Jackson man he' would hey gone the hull hog.' This turned the tables. The humor of the robbed farmer - was 'irresistible. The lksingtonians carried him off to a eel fee-house to a hot breakfast and. a morn, ii * spree, and after drinking, to - the health of Henry C'ay, they made up his loss, and tent him home toj*ing: A Novel Duos.
