Could you bat 141gtne the use and utility, Of a journal conducted with taste and ability, The most remarkable dog-fight on record came off at Frogtown, on the . frontier of Maine, some years ago. It ( engrossed the entire community in one general find iudiscriminate melee, inter mediate lawsuits--distraction of the i town, its downfall and ruin. A fanci ' fel genius named Joe Tucker, a man about town—a lounger, without Timible means of support—a do-frothing, loaf , ing, cigar-smoker—good-natured, good for-nothing sort of a fellow, owned a dog—a slick, intelligent, and _rather pretty beast, always at Joe's heels, and known as well as his master , and liked ' far more by the citizens of Frogtown. ' One day Joe and his dog were passing Bunion's grocery store, when a great I Piebald, ugly-looking, cut-eared dog, standing under a wood-wagon, bounded on Joe Tucker's - dog, knocked him heels over head, and so frightened Bob Carter's wife, who was then passing to ward her husband's blacksmith shop with his dinner, that she stumbled back , ward, and her old anti-bonnet flopped off, searing the horse attached to the 1 wagon. lie started—hit Latherim's I barber-pole, upset the load of wood, all of which Win; down Gumbo's refresh ment, cellar, struck ono of Gumbo's children on the head, killing it fir the time stone dead. and so alarmed Mrs. Gumbo that she dropped a stew-pan of hot-boiling oysters into the lap ofa eu*- ' tomer, who sat waiting for file savory concoction by a table in the corner— ' Mrs. Gumbo rushed for the child—the customer for the door. Mrs. Gumbo screitinNl, the child screamed, and the scalded customer yelled ! " Oh! oh ! oh ! oh ! my poor child !" I screamed Mrs. Gumbo. " Oh ! ge-c-e-e !" screamed the child, "Oh : murder-r-r ! Oh, my everlast ' ing sin, I'm scalded to all eternity Murder!" roared the customer in great , pain. The horse, with part of a wagon, and Isome attic wood,svere on their mad ca reer. The owner of the strange dog Icame out of the store just in tine to see Joe Tucker seize a huge stone, and ele- prnorratir, iffewo and ourual.

JOE TVCILDWO DOG FIG YT vote it above his head to demolish the strange dog; and not waiting to see Joe let drive, gave him finch a pop in the back that poor Joe fell many rods up the street, and striking the foot of a long ladder upon which Jim Elderberry was perched. paint-pot in hand, some thirty feet above terra yirnuz, brought ladder, Jim and the paint-pot sprawling on the earth; crippling poor Jim for life, and sprinkling blue paint copiously over the broadcloths, satinets, ribbons, laces and other valuable goods of Abra ham Miller, a formal and very even tempered Quaker, who ran out to the door just as the dogs had got fairly at it, hip and tight, nip and catch. A glance at matters seemed to convince Abraham of the true state of the case, and he evidently saw that Joe's dog stood rather. a bad chance, for the cart man'spialwild dog was using Joe's , doh ratcr roughly about tbts time, and - -,16-y: COMPILER TIIXTII IS minwrir, ANT) WILT, PRILVATL." in an usually elevated voice called out to Joe Tucker, who had righted up. " Joseph Tucker, thy dog's fighting !" "Let 'em fight it out," yelled the pugnacious owner of the strange dog.— I'll bet any man a load of wood my dog can eat au,y dog in town, and I can eat the owner." We have said Abraham Miller•was mild man—Quakers are proverbially so. But the gauntlet thrown down by the stranger from the country, stirred the gall of Abraham, and he rushed into the store, but quickly returned, follow ed by a large cur, whose collar ho had just slipped, and thus released Prom his kennel in the rear of the store. This dog was a long, powerful-looking ani ma/. '• Friend," said the excited Quaker, "thy dog shall be well beaten. I prom ise thee! Hike! sieze upon him ! Tuck, here, boy," and the dog went at it. Bob Curter, the smith, coming up in time to hear the stranger's banter to any citizen of Frogtown, and bout on pitching into somebody for the insult and damage done to his wife, clamped the collar of the stranger, and by plant ing a series of blows with his ten-pound natural sledge-hammers upon the face, back and sides of his bully antagonist, Bob stirred up both the ire and strength of the bully stranger to the top of his compass, and they made sparks and claret fly from each other dreadfully. Joe Tucker's dog, reinforced by that of Abaaham Miller, took a fresh start, and between the two the strange dog was being put cruelly to his trumps.— Deacon Pugh, one of the most pious and substantial men in Frogtown, came up, and, indeed, the whole town was as sembling, and Deacon Pugh, armed with his heavy walking stick, and being greatly shocked at the spectacle before him, in:u•ched up to the dogs, exclaim ing as he did so : " Fie, tie, fie, for shame ! you men, citizens of Frogtown, will you stand hy, and—" " Don't thee strike my dog, Deacon Pugh !" cried Abranum Miller, advanc ing toward the Deacon, who was about to cut loose right and left among the dogs with his cane. " Your dogs !" shouted the beacon, with evident fervor. " Not my dogs, Deacon Pugh :" echo ed the Qurker. . ". What did you say so for, then ?" shouted the Deacon. " l escr said dogs, Deleon Pugh !" " Y3u did !" responded the Deacon, with excitement. • 9vacon Pugh, thee speaks ground less," said the Quaker. You tell a ralsuhood, Abraham Mil- IMCEE! QM " Theo 'lifers a malicious assertion I" reiterated Abraham. " You-you-you lie :- bawled out tho Deacon. " Thee hast p-ovoked my evil passion Deaeon Pugh !" shouted the stalwart Qunker, " and I will chastise thee:" And into the Deacon's wool went tin' Quaker. The Deacon, nothing loth, entered into the spirit of the thin.% and we leave. them thus, " nip and tuck," to look after the stranger and Bob Carter, who fit and fought, and fought and fit, ' until Squire Catchem and the town constable came up, and in their attempt Ito preserve peace and arrest the offen cders, the &Ore was thrust through the window of a watchmaker, doing a heap of damage, while lawyer hooker, in at tempting to aid the constable, was hit ' in mistake by the furious blacksmith in the short ribs, and wont reeling down Gumbo's cellar with a frightful velocity. The friends and fellow churchmen of Deacon Pugh took Sides against the !Quaker antagonist, and the shop-bays of Abraham, seeing their employer thus beset, came to the rescue—while two ' Irishmen,. full of fan and frolic, believ ,in it to be a "free fight," tried their 1 hands and sticks upon the combatants indiscriminately - ; so that, in less than ! half an hour, the quiet and happy ea ! lege of Flugtown was shaken from its IProtoriety by one grand and sublimely ridietdou and terrific battle. Heads and windows were smashed--children 1 and women screamed—dogs barked— ] dust fiew—labor ceased—and so fari ous, mad and excited became the whole community, that a quiet looker on, if there had been any, would have sworn that the evil ones were all in Frog town. A heavy thunder-storm finally put an end to the row; the dogs were more or less killed; n chld severely wound ed; a man scalded; a wagon broken ; the horse ran himself to death, Lis owner was beaten awfully by Bob Car ter, whose wife and the wives of many others were dangerougly scared; the poor painter was crippled; dry -goods ruined; a Quaker and Deacon, two Ir ishmen, Joe Tucker, Town Constable, Lawyer [looker, Squire Catehein, and some fifty others, shamefully whipped. Lawsuits ensued, feuds followed, and the entire peace and good repute of Frogtown nihilated—alrby a renuirk able dug fight.

In this way several extensive arrangements for putting countcrfeits . in circulation have been "nipped in the bud." seirLore, in the bosom of youth, is the well-spring whence arises tho pare foundations of hope--grean decida and swelling thoughts of a bright &tare, 4.`r 410 Wb.t Is New Yews% 111 My New Year's Day is an institution, as a feast, or day oi l rejoicing, and is the oldest of the kind upon authentic record, transmitted down to our own times and still observed. The first was instituted by Numa, and was dedicated to Janus (who presided over the New Year,) Jan uary Ist, 713 B. C. • On this day the Romeo"; sacrificed to Janus a cake of new sifted Meal, with salt, incense and wine; and all the mechanics began something of their art or trade; the mea of etters did the same, as to books, poems, &e.; and the Consuls, though chosen by the people before, took the chair and entered npou their office this day. • After the Government was in the hands of the Emperor, the Consuls marched on New Year's Day to the cap itol, attended by a crowd, all in new clothing, when two white bulls, never yoked, were sacrificed to Jnpiter Cap italitins. A great quantity of incense and other perfumes were spent in the temple; the Hantens, or Priests, to gether with the Consuls, daring this re ligious solemnity, offered their vows for the prosperity of the Empire NO the Emperor, after having taken an oath of allegiance, and confirmed all public acts done by hint the preceding year.

Blinking Letter linvelegoirs There are six factories in the United States engaged in the manufacture of letter Envelopes ; one in Worcester, one in Philadelphia, and tour in Now York. The process of manufacture may be thus briefly described :—A ream of pa per is placed under a knife, of a shape corresponding to the envelope when opened, which is forced down by a pow erful screw prem. The flap is after wards stamped by a similar process.— A boy can prepare fifty thousand per day in this manner; they are thou taken by girls liy whom they arc folded and gummed. One girl will apply the gum to sixty or seventy thousand per day, while from five to seven thonsand are folded in the same time. For this la bor, requiring great celerity and skill, the girls receive front twelve to thirty cents per thousand. One establish ment alone in New York consumes twelve tons of paper per month in the manufacture of Envelopes, an improve ment which is comparatively of but re volt. introduction, but of infinite use fulness. = Small Po.r and rarrination.-Impor tant• SuggrAtion&—llall'm Journal of Health has the following :—" From ex tended and close observation, the fol, lowing general deductions scent to be warranted : I.

Have •a leillea Mare, We are indebted to Mr. Buchanan for ' a new idea in his message—an idea in which poetic justice is mingled with practical philanthropy and possible, my actual, progression. Thu Indian, decade after decade driven farther to wards the setting sun, and melting away like mists upon the mountains be fore the fierce blase of civilisation, ham at length been surrounded, end finds the circle of fire epproachiug Lim from the west as well from the east. Driven more and more together, they have in ono portion of our domain Rounded more compact colonies, and as a result, have worked out a portion of the pro blem of progress. In the words of Mr.- Buchanan, " the tribes of Cherokees, Choctaws, Chiekarates and Creeks set tled in the territory set spartfor them next to Arkansas, are rapidly advancing ' in education, and in all the arts of civili sation and self-government." This In dian territory is south of Kansas, and has a fertile, prolific soil.' -The inhabi tants have cotton and corn farms, set tled habitations, in short, are becoming imbued with amumulistive and money getting propensities; some. of thole Indians are men of wealth and own large plantations, and, tell it not in Gatlu, publish it not in - the streets of Askaon," numerous negroes. -They are, in fact, quite extensive slavehold cm The wealthier Indians, it is said, live in fine houses, and keep their ear ringed, and quite street the airs of grand seignors. They have schools, diurches, and newspapers, and an or pained government with constitution awl laws modelled after our own. 'Thus it will be seen that they have already all the requisites for the formation of ono of the sovereign and independent States of our Coufedoraoy, sad with air. Buchanan, we may indulge the agreeable anticipation that at no dis tant day, they will be incorporated into the Union. It is possible . that thus a remnant of that unfortenate race-who mice claimed tho whole conntry tie their birth-right may ho represented'in, the councils of tho nation ' and servo as monuments to mark wllt, it once was. It will be a singular and interesting sight to see the son of the red man, the free rover of the forest whose fathers have been scattered like knives before the wind from the path of the white men, sitting in peaceful companionship with the conquering race in the halls of legislation. the distinctive marks of their origin but faintly discernible in the changes of civilization. Whether the Indians themselves desire to form a State and to be admitted into the Union does not appear. Of course, the manifestation of WWII a desire would be a neemetry preliminary. We have no doubt that the new Indian Statesvould be creditably represented and eredita lily governed ;. Lut the interminable slavery question would be - thrust for ward. The Indians being slaveliolders, the North would find a thousand obsta cles to interpose to their admission, and perhaps the South itself might nut fell willing to consort with such allies • but as a measure of tardy justice as w ell as of humanity, we all should be willing to extend our handdto lilt our Indian brctlier on to the platform of 'Weill genee and-civilization upon which we stand.—Baltimore Dispatch, • The National Hotel —This hotel, at Washington, has again - beefs opened, and is said to be well tilled with guests.
