heart sick, mi d ins aiiention was called
to a paragraph in a Syracuse paper rela
tive to a litlle boy w ho was found bv Jus
lice House of ibat cii j, covered with ir.tid
and blood, endeavoring to shelter hitnsell
from the rain in a dry-goods box. The
boy, as the j-aragrnph s'ated, gave hi.s
name a , James Hurt, and appeared to be
fl or 7 yearsof pj"3. This corre jfoiiile:)
wiili the name and ago of Mr. H.'s !o-i
child ; hut he had been so often deceived
that he telegraphed lo the Justi. p, mal.ing
certain inquiries. Tiie reply was im
satisfactory, as the boy insisted lh.it he had
"ome from iSngljnd three years pn viously.
Hut a luller description, in answer to a
letter particularly ihe statement that the
boy hai a dark brown mark under his
left ear so fufly confirmed Mr. U.'s hopes
that he went to Syracuse last Saturday
night. On Saturday m:ifuing he proceed
ed to lhe Orphan Asylum, where the boj
had bien placed, mid, without having any
description of the little fellow, ins'nntly
picked him out from rr eom par. y of fifty,
all dressed alike. Although the boy did
not recognize him, paeenls can conceive
of the satisfaction which ihe happy
father felt in thus recovering his long
lost son, of whose identity not a particle of
doubt remained. ,

he was generally known as Frederick G.
Je never lldl at home with his abi'uetrcss.
and once or twice ran away, aud absented

It was his predisposition to get of! which
idtimaltlv resulted iu his recovery. Hav
ing heard . great deal about lhe State Fair,
and seen, at Oswegn, extensive arrange
ments made for visiting it, he determined
lo go himsell ; and he cnt accordingly.
W hde there he picktd up pennies by run-1
ning of' errands, watching of cattle and
so lived in the crowd, without attracting
any particular attention. Hut after the
Fair closed he did not get aloig quite so
well, and used to wander about the canal,
walking to 'he neighboring villages and
r iiirmng 10 o racuse at mgiit, as 10s i.uiey
dictated. It was while thus wandering
wandering about on the lowpath, during
the darkness and rain, that he fell 011 a
stone, badly cutting his head and face, and;
rendering him sn insensible that he laid
out in lhe rain during the whole night. It
was not until the day following thai he was
found and cared for. He is itw wih his
parents a bright, cood looking and hap

to compensate them for the unutterable
tnef which his three years' absence has
caused them. We have lhe name of lhe

The ben-fit of subsoiling has been high
ly r commended by those who havo made
a fair trial rf it for several years past ; yet
h. re are compara'ively few, wdieiher sal
isf.ed or not of i's utility, who put in prac
tice, I have for some time bnen convinced
of the propriety of deep ploughing on most
soils bv giving greater depth lor the roots
of p'tuits to roam in seaich of food and
moisture, ns well ns to enable the surplus
water the more readily to drain 01T: yet,
upon sorno shallow saiils there is an objec
tion lo throwing up too n.ucH of wnat is
usually termed dead tarth, which, until ii
has been for some lime exposed to lhe ac
tion of sun and air, h is a deleterious effect
upon vegetation. This difficulty is obvia
ted by suhsoi!:ng,as the earth is not thrown
up, only loosened, thereby facilitating the
surplus water to d ain olf, and also the bel
ter f nabiing it to retain sufficient moisture
in dry weather for the nourishment of plants.
For several years we have felt wishful more
fu'ly to bocome satisfied as to the real ben
i lit of subsoilioir, nd whether it would
pay the cost.'w hich mav be reckoned eq al
to breaking ti; te land,) but others nf oar
nei 'hb-.rs. wi h "renter facilities, would
make the trial, we deferred it until last
t,r when we tried it for fruit-trees,
wheat, carrots, parsnips, turnips, &c..with
decided benefit. The piece which we sub
soiled for wheal, w ith the exception of two
or three furrows, for cxr"er:ment, soon
showed a marked improvement, standing
the drouth well, and giving a good yield of
excellent wheat. Such is our estimate of
the benefit to he derived from subsoiling,
from Ihe experience cf the post, that we
stiutrld no, on account of the cost, hesitate
10 use the subsoil plough for all our future

The D-rnlcrj of Rome. .
A correspondent of the European Amer
ican, writing from Rome, says :
"The defenders of Rome were not for
ei"ners,or very few oflhem.in comparison
to the Roman people and Roman army. To
call strangers those Italians who marched
in rid of Mothr Rome, would be lhe same
as lo style a New Yorker a foreigner in
Philadelphia, or in the Southern Slates" to
call a Yankee one. Let us see how many
of the inhabitants were not Romans and not
l.ujiani. Lombard-Venetian exiles,4000;
Sicilians and Neopoliians, 600 ; L'tgurians
and Ptedmontese, 350 ; Tuscans, 250 ;
French, Poles, and Hungarians. 150 ;
SwisS paid by the States, 1000 ; .lmtri-

A man wh is very rich now, was very
poor when ho was a boy. When asked
how he got his riches he replied : My
father taught me never to play till my
work was finished, and never to spend
money till I had earned it. If I had but
one half hour's work to d.) in a dav, I
must do that the first thing, in hall an
hour, and after I was allowed to play ; and
I could then play with much more pleasure)
than if I had the thought of an unfinished
task before my mind. I early formed ihe
habit of doing everything in its time, and
it soon became perfectly easy fo do o. U
is to this habit I owe my prosperity.'"
A Curious Affiir. Some six years ago
Augustus Kennerly, city collector at St
Louis, was discovered to be defaulter in
$8,000, and dismissed notwithstanding hi
protestations of innocence. Recently, how
ever, it came to light, by a re-examination
of his accounts, that instead of being a de
faulter, tho city of St. Louis really owes
him Si.,000 with interest, besides the res.
lorntion of a blighted reputation.
