SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1868.11 Curiosities of Natural History. On Wednesday evening, during the fall of rain which suddenly came on, an unexpected blessing to the country, we were completely weather-bound. The rain dashed down in sheets, as it were—a steady, respectable, con stant flush of rain, as if the clerk of the weather, after taking a bath, had suddenly turned off the water, with a rush. While awaiting its cessation, our time was employed, pleasantly enough, in a friend's house, listen ing to a succession of queer stories, delivered with the least taste in life of that peculiar Irish accent, commonly called the brogue. Of that accent there are various varieties, we have been told by well-informed natives—the Dub lin, which is an aping of English cockneyism; the Northern, which draws its twang from Scotland ; the rich and mellow Munster sounds; and the Connaught, which (es we have hbard it from a Galway-man who was something between Quuimodo, Quelp, cock-roach) sounded as if the speaker had to pump up the words thrush a muffin In his throat. The Mend who entertained us, mind and body, during that groat rain-fall on Wednes day evening, is a Cfrk man, rejoicing in the unusual name of PATRICIC Iduarar, a DIM as rare in Ireland as Smith is is all ether places. He has been In the country exactly sixty years—having arrived is New York late in 1798, the year known as that of the Irish Re bellion—an effleUtt got up by OASTLAILEAMI & CO., to make an excuse for extinguishing the Parliament and crushing down the nationality of Ireland. Now in his eightieth year, PAT. Ideerny is as active and strong in mind and body as most men ef fifty. He has realised an independence by honest Industry, never sought any office, never toad ied any person in power, does not owe a fip in the world, has sincere religious convic tions without pharisaically parading them, has the Christian virtue of being given to hospi tality, has taken Tes Pans from its com mencement, and constantly speaks of it In such eulogistic terms that our well-known modesty declines repeating them. He is a great novel reader, and his organ of credence being large has a general belief in the inci dents and characters of every tale which be peruses. Now and then, indeed, some start ling occurrence may puzzle him a little, but after smoking a pipe or two to clear his head, with a trine of Bourbon to invigorate his sys tem generally, ho invariably subsides info a strong conviction of tho truth of each narra tion. Mr. livarny Is a close observer of animals, and well posted up as regards their instincts. With POPE, he would deseibe the elephant as se half reasoning," but goes a good deal farther, for ho insists that every other animal , t 1 as sagacious as the elephant—provided we were sharp enough in observation to discover and record the Instances. On Wednesday evening, while disposing of his own stronger liquid, while we contented ourself with our customary lemonade; be communicated somo curious illustrations of Natural History, which wo shall endeavor to repeat, in his own words, as the Tale of an Irish Rat. The fine old octogergtrian spoke sa follows "You most know that I was born in the county of Cork, about the year 1778, and was brought up ori'a farm, belonging to my uncle, not far from Barmy, remaining there until I gat info my teens, when I was sent to school la Cork. Befog the only child in my uncle's house, I was thrown pretty multi on my own reso•rees for recreation, and, among other ways of filling pp mithae, used ar s ni.e a t l unnsa emelt* ribeateiringne Wait which I had ample memulefTidalgbig In; Tis owner of a particularly ugly Skye terrier, of the smallest sine and keenest scent ever met with. In a farm-yard, of course, then was a plentiful supply of sport, so that ! might safely ealoodate on good rat-killing at least onoe a week. "One day, after Snap, my little blank terrier, was half buried in • rat-hole for some ten minutes, be dame out in a very hurried manner, with a frightened look and his nose profusely bleeding. He tad been severely bitten by a rat. It took some time to staunch the blood and cover the wound with sticking-plaster. This done, nothing could Induce Snap to go near the Idle again. I thought, once sr twice while the surgical process was going on, that I heard a colas somewhat be tween a child's laugh and a °bookie. As nobody else was in the stable where the affair occurred, I scarcely minded it. When Snap sneaked out of the place I heard this noise repeated, and, looking about, happened to notice a pair *of very bright brown laughing eyes saucily glsnoing at me from the entrance of the rat-bale. I stood motionless, welder° see who they belonged to, and presently • rat's bead, considerably over th'e ordinary else, gradually emerged from the place, turning round occasionally, with • quick, aroloos look of the eyes, as if to discover whether the coast Was clear. Satisfied on this point, the rat boldly came out of his habitation, and with a very entreating look, raised .bis right fore paw to his heart, as it to satisfy me and himself that our communication should be 'Wady con fidential. Though I could not help smiling at the Ides, I responded by solemnly placing my hand over the region covered by the left pocket of ray vest. Sn this exchange of compliments and con !Wino., the rat slowly advanced, and crouched down at my feet. Putting my hand down to pat him—he was very plump and of glorey blackness--- I perceived that one of his ears had been nearly torn off in the reneonire with Soap. Taking the rat up in my arms, to which he offered no objec tion, I proceeded to the parlor, where I contrived to sew op the wound, clumsily enough, with a needle and thread, and, when the operation was performed, my patient expressed his gratitude by repeatedly licking my hand. More than once, even while I was dreaming his wound, I observed that the rat vainly endeavored to suppress a chuckle, and I am now persuaded, from my subse quent Intimacy with the animal, that he was laughing in his sleeve at the manner in whioh he had succeeded in sending away Snap, his assail-. ant, if not with a flea in the ear, at least with a Niue scratch on the nose. Opening the door, to' allow the animal's safe exit, I was surprised to see him stand in the cen tre of the room, shaking his head negatively, In a mysterious manner. In order to get rid of him, I shied an old slipper at him, but, knowingly wink ing Ids left eye uhe did it, the rat bounded out of the way of the missile, and, rapidly reaching he corner of the room, vanished out of eight through a bole In the walosoot. Boon after, he returned—keeping e pretty sharp look-out for fly- tog slippers. When he found that I made no fur the? demonstrations of antipathy, be became bold er, and, at lut, jumped up on the washing stand enrionsly nosing the water•jug. It was eviden that the creature was thirsty, so I poured out a little water on a saucer, and placed it on the ground. Ile partook of it, daintily enough, as it the liquid wan pot good enough for him—turning up his nose at it, in fact, and endeavoring to draw my attention to It. At lest, looking as if he was surprised and indignant at my stupidity, be Jumped up on the mantel•plece, where there re ruined half a tumbler of punch, and, inserting his nose In It, Immediately proceeded to drink. Ile took about half the contents—perhaps it was as muoh as he could bear—and the manner In which be Raked his whiskers, after be found ids way back to the floor, was quite charming to look at. Afterwards, Indeed, I discovered that this rat bad been rather loosely Drought up In the drinking way; not only had he a strong peneAant for spirituous liquors, but, out of a doyen vatic• ties, which be would smell at, like a regular Chris tian, invariably selected paten, the national mountain dew. "From that hour, the tat personally and nein lively attached himself to me, taking up his reel deuce in an old hat box in my bedroom, coming Out of his retreat whenever I entered the apart tont, and returning to it at my departure. Very Soon I became accustomed to his company, and Olen made a sort of house for him, with wood and wire, of which,. the moment It was planed In the corner of the room, he became the voluntary oc cupant. By degrees he got so held that he would follow me about the house like a dog, and from his slut and oolor, might be mistaken, at first sight, for one. "The most curious part of the transaotien was his treatment of Snap. My surgical attendance, on this little terrier wu not very anuessfol. The dog, who seemed to have lost his usual spirita, would lie for days together in his little basket, moaning heavily.

Closely observing the dog, he saw, of course, that his mug WU not quite heeled. After a abort pause, u if be were thinking what to do, the rat seized the bottom of my pantaloon' with his teeth, and attempted to draw me over to Snap. as if he bad remembered the etholoy of my ekill in his own 01118. I could do no more than continue my visits, the rat de voting much of his leisureeto cheer Snap's loneli ness, and at times, when be thought no one was looking at him—for he was a very grave rat, stand ing mush on his personal dignity—be would en. deavor to amuse Snap by standing on his bead, making somersanits, and throwing himself head over heels, until Snap was almost ready to burst his sides with laughter. t•lie contrived to conciliate the oat—a vast ani. mal of notorious ill.temper—in a singular manner. Grimalkin bad kittened, and one of her young (*- Unities had contrived to crawl away from its moo- ther's protection The rat, haring encountered the youngster, gently laid hold of it, with teeth and fore. pawl, by the nape of the neck, and actually walk ed with it to the mother-oat, in this manner, on his Mud legs alone. Re was graciously received by the affectionate mamma, and I noticed that, from that day, be watt on visiting terms with her interesting family—sometimes, indeed, taking their mother's pleas over them, whenever she was &t -oken' of having a little air and exercise, but in variably distinguishing, as his favorite, the errant little kitten he had originally restored to its pa rent. " Whether this rat ever had any previous in. tereourse with the human race, so as to under stand their spoken language, I never could de. termini". Unquestionably, soon after ho came under toy proteotion, be appeared to know what I was said to him. If I sang out, ' Slippers,' he would nod his head, and drag them towards me. At inst, indeed, I was accustomed to Snd them on the hearth•rug, airing by the' fire, when I came into my room in the evening. I have no doubt that the rat placed them there. "The dog, after pining away for some weeks, during which his feelings must have teen greatly alleviated by the friendly. attentions of the rat, took it into his head to die. Between you and I, my suspicion Is it was rather a broken heart thin . any actual bodily ailment that carried him off. I do not think that his pride ever got over the downfall of being defeated by a rat, and the sub sequent politeness and friendship of his conqueror only made thingswllijells As a terrier of good blood and high family, (be had several distin guished relatives on the Isle of Skye, and had been well brought up,) he had the magnanimity to forgive the rat, but could never forgive himself for having been discomfited by an animal general ly accounted inferior to himself. "My uncle was se very fond of the dog that we dared not inform him of the demise of his favorite. Ile only knew that Snap was not getting better, and that the rat, who, by this time, used boldly &company me into the parlor, was the original cause of his illness. After dinner, on the very day the dog tiled, my uncle, who was more than usually mores*. (he was only in his ninth tumbler, and it took him a round been to make him amiable,) growled out, ' Pat ! as sure as lam a living man, that pet rat of yours shell be killed to-mor row.' There was no appeal, and I bunt my bead In sorrow. Just then, who should I see but the rat stealing out of the parlor door. Ile paused, for e moment, to nod his head at me, wjnk his eye, and actually 'take a sight,' as it is called, at my uncle, by putting the middle claw of its fore-paw to the tip of his nose. The rat evidently had beard and understood the threat, and was resolved on making truths for safety, "Listen now, if you want to be impend by something as true as it Is wonderful, and what happened next. That night there was no trace of the rat In my bed-room, and I confess to the weak• ness of feeling very lonely after my pet.—Talking of weakness reminds me that you have made the last tumbler.mneh too weak. Whatever you do, in making punch, don't be extravagant with the water, which Is a liquid too preoloua to be wasted. " Well, sir. I wee Next me/0"6 there was no sign of him—nor all that day. At night, when I was going into bed, heard a scraping at the door. On opening it, there was the rat, as large as life, and somewhat larger too, for the sagacious animal had Equally contrived tb relieve the dead dog of bL skin, and bad crept into It himself!

Ire had flayed his dead friend, and then quietly walked himself Into the empty skin. "You may be sure that I was rejoined to see my pet come back. I hastened to take him out of the dog's fanner akin, which I turned again, with the hairy side out. The moment I bad done this, the rat manifested evident anxiety. and at lest, by s series of looks, movements, and wads, intimatil that I must pot him into Snap's akin ODO 6 more The fact is, be aimed—cunning creature as be was —at deceiving my oriole, who was rather short sighted, by pretending to be Snap himself. To humor the animal, and indeed from a curi osity to see bow far he woild carry on the fake, pat him into Snap's vacated hide, and with the aid of a little, cotton for stuffing him out. and a needle and thread to secure the skin from slipping off, made him up, that night, Into a passable like. ness of dear Snap. There was even a inapt. cion that rat Snap bad successfully made up to some canine females of his predecessor's tenderest and most Intimate acquaintance, but I never oould learn that there was serious ground for that scan dal. though, by my truth, I should not have been surprised at anything I heard of that Ingenious creature doing, or trying to do. "I have told you quite enough, this evening, my boy, about my rat. I wonder what you would say If you were to hear the extraordinary man ner in whioh he contrived to save my life, when I was tried under martial law, in the barracks of Fermoy, in the year '9B. My blood runs cold when I think of that. Well, you shall heat all about It another time. I am sorry that you can not remain to hear it now. good night." Such was the veritable relation of Mr. Pe►.

It is certainly a noble exemplification of sariatlan charity on the part of those of one de emination to throw open their arms to their bre h ren of a different name ; 3 et, in our judgment, charity entirelypverleaps its aim when it de •enerates into censure and invective because some of weaker vessels cannot, ate glance, me their ty oonsolentionsly clear to accept this proffered 'engine hospitality.

We ought to hank God that the day of opaque division walls even feet high between the different branches of the Church is fast passing away, and that the walls themselves are being perforated, broken down, and toe great extent disregarded ; but, we must not forget that to raze them entirely will re quire time and the exercise of patience.

On motion of H. B. Edwards, the Hon. John Hickman was placed in nomination for Congress by acolamation. The following preamble and resolution woro re ported and adopted: Wkerects, The division In the Democratic, party bas been caused by the refusal of the Administra tion to carry out the doctrine of non-intervention In the Territories, thus making it a national and not a local question, unless the other branch of the party should make the Lecompton question a test of men's Democracy : Therefore, Rein/red, That in view of such belief, we deem it unnecessary at this time to make further nomi nations, Inasmuch se there may be a unity of feel lug between the parties with regard to the nomi nees; but ebould the other wing make this the test, we feel It a duty to the Democracy to spurn It, and do appoint five persona, to consider such necessity, and if such there be, to reassemble this Convention at any time they may deem proper. The following persons were appointed : Wm. N. Gamble, J. It. Morris, Jos. M. Hinton, George Drayton, John C. Longstreth. On motion, Joe. It. Morris. Esq., George Palmer, and Wm. N. Gamble, were appointed a com mittee to oonfer with a similar committee front Cheater eonnty, to 'elect a candidate for Con gress. On motion, the delegate meeting adjourned to make its report to the county meeting. The meeting then reported its proceedings to the regularly organised County Convention, and they were unanimously adopted. The nomination of lion. John Hickman, for Congress, was greeted with nix hearty cheers. J. R. Morris, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, then offered the following resolutions, which were read, and unanimously adopted, amidst shouts of applause. Whereas, It is usual on (+creations like the pre sent for the Democracy to re-afflrm the great and vital principles which have, for so long a period, given etrength to the party, and prosperity and safety to the country. Therefore-- Resolved, That the doctrine of popular sove- reignty, as recently applied with great distinctness to the Territories of the United Staten, is only a recurrence to alit principles, being clearly an elated by Jefferson , when he laid that Govern meats were only legitimately Instituted among men when they derived their just powers from the consent of the governed. Resolved, That we believe that the people of a Territory, like those of a State, are fully capable of selecting the institutions under which they aro to live, and that when they have by the fair expression of the majority chosen such institutions, it is treasan against their most sacred rights for any power to interfere and attempt to force upon them a system of laws, facilemental or °thongs°, that are repugnant or odious to them. Resolved, That in the main we approve of the measures and polio, of the present Administration of the General Government; we accord to it our thanks for the honorable interference to prevent a marauder from our own soil from annoying, with unlawful expeditions, the Governments of Central America; we approve of its prompt and decisive fo reign policy; we approve and applaud Its successful efforts to put down the Mormon rebellion in Utah; but we are forced to disapprove, renpeotfully but firmly and decidedly, the policy adopted in regard to Kansas, deeming it a violation of the pledges made by the Democratic party to the people in 1856, when Mr. Buchanan well elected to the Presidency. Resolved, That we are justly proud of William F. Packer, the present potriotio Governor of the State of Pennsylvania. Ills examine of the veto power during the last winter in a full assurance to our people that he will 0105017 norutlnine the acts of reckless and corrupt legislators who have of late years brought upon our State dishonor and reproach. Resolved, That the able and fearless support given by the llon. John Rickman to the Demo cretin doctrine of popular sovereignty. thcreby carrying out the broad principles of Democratic truth upon which the campaign of 1858 wee suc cessfully conducted, meets with our cordial ap• proval ; and we regard such disinterested fidelity to the rights of the people as a sure guarantee of future eminence in the ranks of the National Do money. Resolved, That the recent eleotlon in Kansas under the "English Bill," shows most conclusively that the people of that Territory were largely op. posed to the Lecompton Constitution, and there fore those Democrats in Congress who steadily voted against that instrument being forced upon the eiticens of Kansas, were following otriotly in the line of that great principle, lyirg at the foun dation of our Republic, to wit : giving to majori ties the power to rule. Resolved, That the present tariff is inadequate to defray the expanses of Government, and we are therefore in favor of its revision. In making such revision, we bold that the duties should be so adjusted as to give ample protection to all the industrial interests of the country. Resolved, That we extend the hand of Demo cratic) fellowship to the Demooracy of Chester county, who have just adopted the foregoing reso lutions, and we pledge, both to them and to the country, our unyielding determination to support the doctrines they inculcate.

Retailing POlBOll9. The last number of the Medical and Su;giral Journal gives the following wholesome advice to druggists : "Notwithstanding we have repeatedly urged the necessity of some law compelling apothecaries to be cautious in the sale of poisons (since so many of them are unwilling to take the trouble to be so,) we must again allude to the subject, a new instance of culpable carelessness having come to our knowledge. A girl went to an apotlieoary's, with her face booed up in a handkerchief, anti asked for an ounce of laudanum to stop the tooth. ache. The apothecary, without hesitation, sup. plied her with the amount of poison required, Which the girl swallowed just as soon as she reached home, with the intention of destroying herself. Dr. Alley, who was called in, saw her twenty minutes afterward, and, by giving an emetic of mustard and water, succeeded in making her vomit up what laudanum remained in her stomach. Enough, however, had boon absorbed to cause threatening symptoms and the girl's life was only laved by long-continued and energetic treatment. It seems as if any man would have come enough to know that a drachm of laudanum was all that was required for the alleged purpose, and that a larger quantity might accidentally, or, as in the present instance, intentionally be put to a misohievous toe. Why cannot druggists make It a rule to refuse to sell dangerous arti oles unless the purchaser oan produce a physi cian's prescription, or some olh. r guarantee that the drug is lobe need only for it lawful and proper purpose?"
