Of tho eccentric, we could cite the case of a certain well known merchant, who one day dining at a friend's house sat next to a lady who possessed rare charms of conversation. The Merchant did not posses, this in a very rare degree, but he could do that whish was next best, ho could appreciate, an apprecia tion which he endeavored to show by the following mode of action : "Do you like toast, Miss B 1" . "Yes,"" responded the ludy, slightly sur prised nt the question, "Uuttercd ton&U" 'Ycs." "Buttered oAt bath sides? ' "Yes."' "That is si range j so do I. let ua get married."

"I agree." "Will vou be ready in an hour?" I will." "I shall return for you in that time." Which he did. the ucntleman who had i hUggitetcd the idea accompanying him to the elergytmin's. Many years have passed since tli.c'1.1, and neither party has seen cause to regret tUw urrupt proposal anu accept ance. . Of the business stylo,, wo can cito a case related to us which we know for a true one. A younji mau wJio had succeeded tuthe ill kcp. uiid badly tiilUvuted, though tvally valuable farm of u deceased uncle, saw at a glance that two things were absolutely I necessary to succeed; the first being n wife, , to take charge of the woman's department ! and tho second, a few thound dollars to ' stock it w ith. He could not help thinking j to himself thut, possibly, these tw o great ! ait's to his huppiness ami prosperity might I be found together, and yet without attempt ing to put his matrimonial and Unancial ideas into practice, ho allowed them to haunt him continually. With this upon his'miud our farmer start ed upon a horseback journey to a distant part of the country, and upon his return made an aciiuuintance opcu the road, in the passim of an old' gentleman who was jog ging the same way. The companions dined together ut a wayside inn, and fraternized pleasantly, during which the young maa opened his heart to the elder, telliug him ail his plyiu and aspirations, when the old gvntli-man uddressed the younger. '1 rather like vou, my friend, and your I honest way of telling your 6tory, and ! if you will come und see me 1 will be glud. j I huve thrve daughters, all as good girls os I ever lived. Now perhaps oneofthvmmay . bft the very one you are looking fat if sis I j will do my best towards making the bul I unco of the matter Hgreeable. Hide over mid see me to-morrow, take (Unner and stay iho afleinoou, wh,icU will giiv jou but chance to see them and judge." The young man instantly agreed to the proposal, making only a cendxtwu that the young ladies should not be infwuiei of the nature of his errand. This was agreed to, and they separated. The next day at the time appointed the young man dismounted &i iu uoor oi me house of his new niade friend, and was I heartily welcomed. The hour before dinner was consumed in looking over me iartn, tue young man in admiring its keeping, and tbo old in opproviug of the sensible and practi cal remarks of the younger, when the nxe&l was announced and the three- young ladies aud their mother introduced. They were all, as the old gentleman had said, Cue girls, but the younger, rosy-cneeited, oiue-eyeu and laughing-faced, charmed the young farmer especially. The dinner wrw, they once more walked out for a chat. "Well, how lo you like my daughters?" was the old gcntlcinau's first question. "Tney are all nice girls, very nice," saiu the young man, thoughtfully. "And wbicu ot thorn, do you UKe oesif was the next cucstion. - "The youniest, Kate, 1.I10 cnarming, and if I am to be your son-in-law, you must L'ive me Kate!

"Can't you accept my father's terms ?" "Yes, by Ueorge, I will, if you say so," was the instantaneous response. "Then come over to-morrow morning, be fore ten o'clock, and tell him so," and the girl vanished like a fairy among thclcaves. The young man rodo slowly homo, bit ho was oa hand next morning, according to bidding, and married the fair Kate in two months atler. As a specimen of tUo absurd) we cannot do better tuna cite a case that occurred within our own jurisdiction, in a country village of Massachusetts. There wtts a cer tain a.chariah FeclUvo, a stout, industrious sober and bashful farm hand, a resident- of that locality. Zch was celebrated, not for what he did say, but for what he did -eot, bis silence being a matter of marvel through all that chattering neighborhood.' Zach, with all his tacturnity, was not proof against the shafts of love, and one day waa smitteo with the wholesome charms of ,t'ie only" child of Widow Drown, a bright-eyed, good looking girl, possessing tho same trait of si lence as Zacii, though not iu so. eminent a degree.. The first iw that Zach showed hia ad miration for the fait Sally was by seizing up a large bucket of cow feed she was about to carry info the Btables and hurrying thither in a frightened way, sauch as though, he was tnkirtjj it from a burning house. After that Zach seemed to be perpetually on the watch for opportunities, to save thetalr Sally from her heavier work. These delicate at tentions could not fail to attract the atten tion of the Widow Brown, who rca'ly res- fiecting the young man, invited Kiu into, the louse to spend the evening, and from that time Zach was a lixity. lie would sit in the chimney corner of tho old-fashioned house, scarcely ever spcakiug, dividing' bis atten tion equally between tho fire and feasting his eyes on Sally. i'or two years this quiet adoration wei on, and the neighbors wondered why, ns there was nothing to prevent it, they did not marry. It never has been known whe ther the idea arose out of Zach's own brain or whether it was a hint from a friend, but t last he did find courngo to pop the ques tion. ' Jt was done in this way. The time was Xew i'enr's Eve, and the fair Sally had been preparing a j"g " mulled cidjjr, that she might hare something to cheer Zach's heart when he came Jr.. Zach came, he drank and took bis accustomed scat in the chimney corner, where he sat quietly as usual for a few minutes, and then, without any previous symptoms, he roso up to his full height, six feet and two inches, putting his head up the ehimney so that but little of him was seen above the waist, and deliv ered the following oration : "If somebody loved somebody as well ns somebody loves somebody somebody would marry somebody.'1 Zach remained with his head up the chimney, after this speech, silent as death, lor some minutes, until no came lonn irom his place of refuge at the earnest solicitation of the Widow Brown, with a face glowing like the setting sun. The thing was done, however, and Zach and Sally were married in a few weeks after, and we are convinced that if cither of them could be indnced to talk, now, after a triul of a dozen years, they wMild say that they were entirely aatvilied with that mode of popping the question. Among the oddities ot tue mystery, tne one oyer which weive personally wonder ed much, occurteti in th.t city of Vbiladei phia under our own knowledge. A lady and gentleman who had been ac quainted but ono week, and who moved in tlio very hrst circles, were warning upon tne street, the lady showing the lions of the city to tho gentleman, who was a stranger in Philadelphia. In the course of tlieir ram ulc they were stopped by a wedding party, who were alighting from their carriage ut a church door. Tho ludy proposed to go in and see the affair through. Tho gentle- around her about thirty feet from her side. Passing her closely, wo mado a complete circle, so as to strike her fairly, and west into her bows on. By this time the enemy's fire was very se vere, but a doso of canister at short range seemed to moderate their zeal and disturb their aim. Paymaster Swan, of the Otsego, was wounded near me, but how many more I know not. Three bullets struck my clothiug, and the air seemed full of them. In a moment wo had struck tho logs just abreast of the quarter port, breaking them in oome feet, our bows resting on them. Tho torpedo boom was then lowered, nnd by a vigorous pull, I succeeded in diving the torpedo under the overhang, and ex ploding it at the same time that tho Albe marle's gun was fired. A shot seemed to go crashing through my boat, and a dense mass of water rushed in from the torpedo, HI '.ing the launch and completely disabling her. The enemy then continued his fire nt fif teen feet range and demanded our surrender, which I twice refused, ordering tho nicu to save themselves nnd removing my overcoat and shoes. Spnning into the river, I swam, with others, into the middle of the stream, the rebels failing to hit us. The most of our party were captured, some were drowned, nnd one escaped be sides myself, nnd he in another direction. Acting Muster's .Mute Woodmnn, of tho Comodore Hull, met him in the water half a mile below the town, and assisted him as best he couxl, but failed to get him ashore. Completely exhausted T iminnged to reach the shore, but was too weak lo crawl out cf the water until just nt daylight, when I managed to creep iuto the swamp close to the. fort. While hiding close to the path the Albe mniTs officers passed, nnd I judged, from their conversation, that tho ship was de stroyed!. Some hours travelling in the swamp serv ed to bring rue out well below the town, when I sent a negro in to gain information, found that the ram was truly sunk.

A letter written' by Harrison, and found upon his person at the time of his arrest, to II. J. Stewart, Secretary of the Blackford County Temple, dated Au gust 20, 18C4, shows tho Order to have been in full force at that time, mid was nat burled Julie 14th, when the Committee of thirteen was appointed. On the 5tu of August Dodd told tlio witness a scheme was on toot to ro ca?Aho prisonera at Camp Morton, Chica go and Kock Island. Dodd was to release the prisoners here, nnd hud endeavored to get the State Central Committee to call a mass meeting here on the 10th of August. If successful, it was iutended to send circu lars out to the members of tho Order in tho various counties como armed. This was after Dodd had been to Niagara Fulls, thence to New York, thcuco back Is Niaga ra, and thence to. Chicago,, where ho said the plan was arranged. Dodd said he saw the rebel pence com missioners nt Niagara Palls. If the mass meeting of the 10th had been culled, an up rising would have taken place. If unsuc cessful in overturning the State government, Dodd and bis forces, includiug the released rebel prisoners, were to go South. Dodd thought with 130 men he could take tho artillery, seize the camp of prisoners and re lease them. Witness then gave the signs, pass words, dec, as given by Stidger ou Dodd's trial. On his cross-examination the witness said Dodd replied on the Order to adopt his phuK Dodd had summoned Bowles Miilignn and Humphrey to meet him hero on business. . The military bill adopted by the Order was in Dodd's hand writing. The military feature of tho Order was instituted ia- 1SU3, by order of C. C. Wright, then acting Supreme Commander. Witness corroborated Stidger throughout. Tho leaders of tho Democratic party admit ted Dodd as a delegate to the Chicago Con vention, with a full knowledge of his trea sonable designs. Ho assisted iu tho .nomi nation of MeClcllan ami Pendleton, and re mained in full fellowship in te party up to the time of his arrest and arraignment for trial."

Soma ol these figures will no doubt, causo surprise. Indian corn we have been iu tho habit of looking upon as tho most substau tial article of food given to our animals, nnd wo naturally expect from it tlaj most valua ble manure. We find that, as compared' with tho same weight of beans, it stands as $0X5 to. $10.75; to the same whiglit of ont as $0.05 to $9.04. This last comparison wo feel hardly able to credit. B-at tho truth of it depends upon tho fact that tho Indian corn while it contains oily matter a fat forming principle and salts, contains a far less proportion of nitrogenous matter, so powerful an element in immure. So we find tho caiue weight of oats' much exceeding Indian com ia tho manure, for the same rca- ' son, and in affording nourishment and strength to the muscles, where corn affords more fact; a fact which enables a horse to stand more bard work ou the samo weight of oats than of corn, while the corn may make him look better.. What is to bo- particularly remarked in connection with these facts ia that we should get rid ot'th.e habit of speaking af stable ma nure . a3 eing stronger than tho manure of cattle cr of hsgs, and of poultry mannre aa being nearly equal to. guano, &c, "without reference to the food on which the animal feeds. It is this, in fact, that determines its value. The manure of a hog grazing hi tho pastttfc, is a very different thing front that of the same nniuial feed ou corn in a pen. the same difference exists in thnt of a cow highly fed, is much' richer than that of horse at pasture. Poultry manure, tho result of grain .feeding 6X1 d animal food, is very rich, but it is a different thing under different circumstances, and the same may be said of all manures.
