his eyes were bloodshot, and his face thin; he scarcely ate anything, aod the fellows told him he was going on the sick- list.* Worst of it is,\u201d says he, \u2018she can never be anything to me: she's a borne lady.Look at that,\u2019 and he pulled out her note ; there's writing for a Juck's wife.L wish to God I hadn't thrown my chance away, and by this time I might have had my hands out of the tar buck- ct.I told him he wasn't too old, there was time wet ; and if he didn\u2019t borrow my ¢ Norrie's Epitome that sume day to begin learning navigation with.We were now within three days of the coast, and the wind fell dead.\u2018There we were lying without so much as a cat's paw of wind, all the wea like a great sheet of glass, and tho sun so hot that the tar in the rigging melted and dropped about on the deck.The chaps were below all day getting up the boilers and things, and sending the cotton down into the hold so as to leave a clear deck for the slaves.Ned was wetting fidgety.There didn\u2019t sccm a chance vf our getting away; not a sail in sight ; and we ton could do \u2018nothing aginst the whale crew.They had a stake, you sce.It was 800 or 1000 dollars a man if he turned out ind they'd have shot us like a couple of duxs ut the least attempt at violence ;

so he sbanimed as near deud ns he could.We had some wind that night, too, and as soon as it was dark, all lights were drowned, and away we went for tho coast.In two days we sighted it, and about ten o'einok in the morning came to anchor near the river Volta, just of Cape St.Puul's.All this time Ned was shamming stunued and stupid, eating on the sly, when all hands were on deck.- We were about three miles off the shore, for the beach is very flat there, and the further you lie out, the casier it is to.get off, if you're sighted by naythiug.The captain weut off with one of the quarter-boats nnd eight of the chaps, tuking some cases of beads for presents.| We could see .the huts on The shore, and some of the niggers moving about.I told Ned they were gone, and that it was no use, as there were the first and secund mates and six of the hands left ; we'd better wait\u2014it wasn't likely he'd take tlie women on shore till he was surc of his niggers.And so it proved.He brought back with Lim three niggers with beads and shells round their necks and arms,und showed them into the cabin.I suppose it was to prove that he'd brought the girls.In about halt-an-hour they left with some brandy and a gun ; they had their canoe alongside, sud went away in that.Next morning we made everthing snug, in case it should be squally, and he left in the lonz- bout, and the second ate in one of the quarter- bouts.Eight went in the long-boat, aud four in the quarter-boat : they took some cottons and some cases of beads, and I think a cise of guns.I went down and told Ned that there were only two of the hands left and the first mate, for we didn't count the black cook and steward ag anybody, und the boy had gone with the cap- tuin.\u2019 \u2018* Now\u2019s the time, or never I\u2019 says Ned.dic for her any time, Charley.\u2019 ¢ All right,\u2019 says I, and we shook hands.¢ Where's the mate ?' \u201cIu his cabin.\u2019 \u2018Let's get my barkers,\u2019 says Ned, there's « couple of \u2018em with six teeth each\u2014there s one of \u2018em for you.\u2019 I took one \u201cof his revolvers, and stuck it in my belt under my shirt, and he did the same.\u2018 Let's fresh cap \u2018em,\u2019 says he, \u2018it'd be a ad job to miss fire now\u2014twelve shots nnd two knives, and theu our fists\u2014we shall do it Charley.\u2019 \u2018l'a HUNTINGDON, CE, FRIDAY.OCTOBER 20, 1863.Behind us wus the captain in the quarter baat, pulling now six hands\u2014she came along like u racehorse.We had a good threc miles start, and might beat them yet.There wasn't a wile botwecn us when Ned's after-tholepin broke off short in the hole.I looked round ; there wasn't another in the boat except the two I was using.His pulling got very unsteady.* Can\u2019t T wuke a new one ?\u2019 said Clara\u2014that's the durk one.\u2018Yes, yes! and quick, for God's sake! Take up the bourd your feet are on, split a bit off and round it.\u2019 .She took up the board, split a bit off, and sat looking in Ned's fuce, as she cut chip after chip to round it, and then pointed the end, drew cut the old piece, \u201cnd etuek in the new piu.I never saw such a cool thing in my life before us that, They pained on us\u2014our pulling was getting fueble and weak \u2014nshe looked at Ned, aud suid to lidh: \u2014 * Tell me how to fire this So Ned told her, between Lis pulls, to pull up the hammer, put ber finger on the trigger, ond look along the barrel till it Lid some of their heads.- \u2018Don\u2019t fire yet, though,\u2019 says he, \u2018it would only be waste; wait till I tell you.\u2019 The fair one, Alice, lucked on quite stupefied ; Clara looked back now and then, and took a sort of nim with her tecth sct together and her eyes like fire.We were near the slip now, and I coud see thew lowering a bout to meet us; tie captain was nbout a quarter of a mile astern of us, and the ship's beat three quarters of a mile a-head.Their bout was pulled by eight wen, \u2014regular man-of-war stroke, ¢ Pull, Charley t\u2014pull now, for God's guke ! says Ned, and pull we did, straining our bucks and arms at every stroke till they ached again.* Shall I fire 7 said Clara, turning to Ned, for the captain wus within a buudred and filty yards, * No, no, not yet,\u201d says Ned.Charley #\u201d ¢ Another cable's length and it is done.\u2019 \u201c Pull, you two!\" cricd the man-of-war's men, * pull\u2014you'll win! \u201c d\u2019ult butwcen us, and take them out over the stern!\u2019 called Ned.The ship's boat shot between us, * Way enough!\u201d sung out the officer.\u201cHalt the chaps tumbled into our bout aud handed the two girls tuto their own in less time than I can tell you of it.The eaptain\u2019s boat cine up with the way tull on, und smashed in one or two of their planks.What's all thas Ÿ said \u201cwhat's it mean ?\u201c1Tow near, the officer to me, * Hope on,\u201d says I, for you can°t talk much iu such n case.i * What's it to be, Ned ?Quict or quiek ?\u2019 they are) We went on deck : the mate was in his cab in, the two hands en the fu'custic, the cook and steward were having a.chat in the pantry.* Quiet,\u201d whispers Ned to me.\u2018Got any * bacon, Ned ?\u2019 says onc of the hands ; \u2018you ain't used much lately.\u2019 \u2018I've wot a little below,\u2019 says Ned, \u201cin my chest; if you like to go for it, here's the key.They stored a bit, and went down.both of \u2018em\u2014to see fair play in dividing it, 1 sup pose.* On with the hatch,\u201d says Ned.* We put it on, and had a pin in the staple be- lvre you could say \u2018 Juek Robinson) \u2018 Run up aloft, and see if you can see anything.\u2019 I went up to the main-top, and [saw a sail away to wind'ard of us.I could just make her out.I enme down and told hitn.* Hurrah!\" says he, \u2018 its the cruiser, she\u2019s been watching us.Now for those blacks} and he walked aft and made fast the handle of the door with a bit of yarn.Steward,\u2019 says he, © we're going to cut, and if you make a row Charley will put a bullet through you, and you, tov, cook.\u2019 I stood there at the door, with my finger on the trigger, while he went forward and put a chair against the mate's door and then made fast the haudle to that and the leg of the table.After that we went over to the girls\u2019 cabin, and found, us luck would have it, the key in, und on the outside.\u2018It\u2019s Saunders,\u2019 he whispered.¢ Hush! not a word.\u2019 They came out, and I exnw Ned was right ; they were us white us Englishwomen,\u2014a bit of crinkle in the hair, a sort of wave, was the only sign of their blood.The dark one was the finest, They cme out on tiptoe, and one of them\u2014 the dark onc\u2014seized u knife out of the box in the cabin sideboard, and lcoked as glad us if she'd found something worth having.The fair one looked at her, and clung to her, as if frightened.¢ All right, Charley! He's asleep, T expret, or he'd heard these fellows forward.Now, then, on deck.\u2019 I looked through the blind, and there were cook and steward crouched down on the floor, and almost afraid to breathe.We got out to the poop.put the girls into the stern-boat, and Toward her into the water, flung our jackets in, and then lowered ourselves by the tackle.Just before [ slid down, T looked towards the shore, and saw that they'd seen the women getting over the stern into the boat, and had started after us, They couldn't see the suil, nor we neither now.I told Ned, and lowered myself into the boat.\u2018You'll have to pull for it now,\u2019 says T; and we did pull.I thought I'd done some hard work in my life, but I never did such work us that in a broiling sun\u2014we two pulling n bout that would take four.Ned's oar bent like a whip\u2014ha was pulling stroke, and we went over tho water in style.We'd got our shirts and waistcoats on, and it was frightful work.The dark one sat in the stern sheets with the fair on2\u2019s head in her Inp, and looking at us with a kind encouraging smile.1 thought Ned would bust a bioodvessel cvery minute, the veins in his neck awelied like bits of cord.She suw the pistols lying on the scats by us, and came and took one\u2014Ned's.* À ship! a ship!\" crics the fair one, getting up.I looked around, ard thereshe was comin :* Take us there ; \u201c1 don\u2019t know\u2014Ilet's go on deck and see where speak.right unto ns\u2014another lialf-hour, and we shoul be alongside, 1 was so done I could wot speak; I pointed to the cruiser aud nodded us much ns to say, * but for the life of me I couldn't | * These d\u2014d thieves have bolted with my nig- sers,\u2019 says the captain.* Wlicre are they Ÿ says the officer, \u2018There were none in the boat !\u201d * Those two women in the stern are my slaves, bought with wy money in New Orleans, and here's a witness.Where's O'Connell 7 * Didn't 1 buy those women in New Or leans 7\u2019 \u2018 You did, sir ?\u20ac Absurd ! said the officer, © these dies are not negroes to be bought and sold, you have kid napped them.Am L right, madam?\u2019 * No, sir.This man brought us from New Orleans, where we were sold to lim as slaves, for the purpose of selling us om the coast.We are his slaves, bat thought, if we could escape, the Luglish flux was a protection) * You will tind it so, ladies.We shall returo to the vessel at once.Make that bout fust for towing, \u2014 pass thesc men forward.You can ful- low if you like, sir.\u201d Ned and I put on our jickets, went forward aud sat down.When we cine alongside, they sent a swing-chair down for the ladies.The captain climbed up nud left his crew in the pout, while the officer took the two ladies aft.The Captain of the Barker came out, and seeing the girls were looking pale and faint, sent thew into the cabin under the steward's charge.¢ Now, sir, what is this 2° * Those two women are wy slaves, und these fellows belong to my crew, and have ran away with them.I want the slaves\u2014you can keep the men.\u2019 ¢ Quarter-master\u2014here 7\u2019 ¢ Aye, aye, sir.; * Quarter-master, pick out the biggest Juck and run it up to the mast-head.\u2019 ; ; In a few seconds it wasup, © Now, sir said the captain, * you sce that flyg ?Let me inform you that, [ believe, no slaves aro ever found under it.\u201d I don\u2019t know the law in this matter, but this I know, that I recognise no slave on board my ship Here the man-of-war's men, who were crowd- cd in the waist to see the fun, gave a cheer.¢ Then.you don't chuose to give up my property eh, captain ?\u201d .\u201c1 do not recognise your claim to any property in this vessel, and therefore shall give up nothing.\u2019 ] Here tha sailors cheered again.¢ Silence, there! Bo'sun, send the men forward if that oceurs again.\u2019 .This cheering secmed to drive our captain mad; so he looked about him like a wild beast, and caught sight of Ned.\u2018That's for you, you thieving rascal! and that\u2019s for you, you\u2014' I didu't heur what he said, for he fired at Ned and then ut me.1 heard the captain say : * Put that man in irons!\u2019 and when the smoke cleared off, 1 saw Ned was down and bleeding, [ ran to him and held his head up.The doctor said Lis wound was mortal, and it would ouly kill him sconer to move him, so they let him lie there.The two girls came rushing out, and Clara seeing him lie there, enue and took his hand in hers.He looked at lier, and said : +1 thought I coula save you, and I have.\u2019 \u2018I would to God that [ had never seen you, Mr.Saunders.\u2018That you would perish thus for my enke-\u2014oh ! it is dreadful misery; I wish that you had given wo the moans of liberating myscif, und then you could have lived.\u2019 * Sond the men away forward! Gentlemen we can do no good here,\u2019 and the captain and ull of them left us.There I was supporting his head, the doctor standing by, and Ciara holding his haud azd looking #0 kindly at him, that I felt choked.Alice, she had fainted, and was taken away, * What on I do for you, for what you have done for me ?1 have relations in Englaud who will help me.Ssy\u2014what exn I do?\" * Give me some water, and kiss my forchead if you will.\u2019 She held the glass to his lips, and then, with à face like crinson, stooped and kissed him.I was crying like a baby, so was the doctor.* May I call you Clara ?¢ Call me what you will Edward, and belicve me, that 1 would endure nll tho miseries from which you have saved me to restore you to life.Alas! that I cannot.What can [ de to wuko you happy ?I will do nuything.\u2019 He was going fast, I could feel him getting cool in ny arms.* Weur a piece of my hair next your heart, and promise me to think of me sometimes\u2014cut it uew.\u2019 : Tlie doctor took ont his cine and gave her à pair of scissars, and she cut off a lock and showed it to him, t * Next your Veart\u2014next your heart, Clara, | God bless you\u2014kiss me once more\u2014I don't regret it\u201d He felt for my hand, and slook it, and said, * Good-bye, Charley ! Good-bye, Clara!\" Her tears fetl on his face as she stooped, and when she lifted her lips they were quite pale being pressed so hard against his cold foreheud.She looked at him, and sighed as if her heart would break, \u201cI fear he is dead, madam,\u2019 said the doctor, feeling Lis pulse.* Yoa quite dead.She stooped and kissed him once more, and then went into the cabin.They took Ned away from me and laid him in a hammock ; 1 cut off a luck of lis hair before they sewed him up, and then was taken below and put to sleep with doctor's stuff.I didn\u2019t wake for nearly twenty.four hours, and then was so bad 1 couldn't get abont, [ found when I got to Sierra Leone that I was to be witness aginst the captain for wur- der, and against the crew and ship as a slaver.He wos hung, aud most of them sent to prison.I came Lome in a ship with the ladies, and went with them to their father's relations in London.They were very kind to me, paid my ves ut a navigation school, and have protised we a second mate's berth when [oo back, so that you see I'm better off than poor Ned, though he did most for \u2018em.There now\u2014there\u2019s my story aud l'in much obliged to you for being so kind as to listen to it.! - \u2014 .THE DEATID OF STONEWALL JACKSON.Lr appears that the statement of a © Virginian,\u201d who has wathered ail the facts from Jackson's officers, that Jackson had ridden out to re- ennnuitre, the nizlt being a dark one except when the moon occasionally broke through black dritts of ¢l uds, He had left orders behind with his men that they should be very vigilant, ad fire on any one they saw approach, and putieulariy upon ewvalry, should any appear, © for,\u201d said he, \u201cas we lave no euvalry about licre, any thet comes must be the ene my's \"Me rodz off with a few members of his stilf, lis fonce being then so near the encmy that Federal skirmishers strolled in and were taken prisoners, anezzed to find that they were actually within the Coufeder te lines, Jackson way about a mile away, listening intently for any sound from the enemy, when suddenly a volley was fired upon the party from his own force behind him.\u201cThe origin of this fire,\u201d says the Virginian, who has painstakingly inquired into all the circumstances, © has never been discovered; und after Jackson's death there was little disposition to investigate an oceur- rence which vccisioned bitter distress to al) who by any possibility could have taken part in it.\u201d It is believed, however, that the Con- fedarates saw the horses and men dimly, und believing them to be the cnemy's cavalry, fired upon them.It was fatal to several members of the staff, and Jackson himself galloped off into the woods close by to escape from it.Unhappily, a brigade of his own men, drawn up within thirty yards of him, saw him do xo, and, believing that he was a part of an advancing force of Federals, fired with such fatal precision that he was struck in three places, twice in the left arm and once in the right haud.*¢ At the moment when he was struck,\u201d says the authority I have wentioned, \u201c he was holding his rein in his left hand, and his right was raised cither in the singular gesture habitual to him at times of excitement, or to protect his face from the boughs of the trees.\u201d It way be, however, that this gusture was intended us a signal to the brigade to cease firing; but his vrm dropped directly lie was shot, and his h.rse carried him on among the trees, until a brauch caught him violently in the fuce and threw him back.Still he was not unseated and catching the bridle with the broken and bleeding fingers of his right hand, he reeovered the turnpike rod, und succeeded in rejoining tha surviving members of his staff.He sat on his horse a few momen*s, looking up the road towards his lines with apparent aston.ishmént, and continued for some time to look in that direction, as if \u2018 unable to realize that he could have been fired upon and wounded by lis own men.\u201d Captain Wilbourne, one of his \u201ctaff, said to him, * They certainly must be our troops,\u201d lie nodded kis assent, and in a few minutes, finding himself exhausted by loss of blood, said, \u201c Yon had better take me down.\u201d Île was lifted off his horse and laid under a tree, begging that the news of his being wounded should be kept a secret from his men.: Before there had been time to bring the doctor up the Federals pushed on their lines so rupidly that the staff became anxious for the sofety of their gencrnl, who was close to the cnemy, and proposed among each other to carry him to tho rear.Jackson said \u201c No ; if you can help me up I ean walk.\u201d He \u201cslowly dragged himself along towards the Confederate lines, the blood from hid wounded arm flowing profusely over Captain Leign's uniform,\u201d on whoin ho was leaning.At last they reached a litter, and Juek- son was lifted into it.Tho Federals opeucd a heavy fire at this moment upon the road on which they were moving, and the officers who were with Jackson ordered the litter to bo laid down, and threw themselves on the ground to csvape the deadly storm, ** which struck millions of sparks from the flinty stones of the road side.\u201d Once Jackson tridl to ruise himself up, as if to look arotud him, but Licutenant Smith prevented \u2014 \u2014 amy The Canadian Gleane No.6.him.On that awful rond Jackson - bis two officers were alone at that moment, the men who bore the litter having run off into the woods to get beyoud the reach of the cannon Presently the fire relaxed, and J ackson moved on till he came to the «pot wherc one Gene rule, Pender, was stationed.Pender his sorrow us sceing him wounded, a thought hie should full back, in con his lines being much broken.But Dackson's officors repeat how that his eye flashed with its old fire exhausted ns he was, and he ried out, \u201c You must hold your ground, Guneral Pender You must hold your ground, Sir I\u201d À was the last order Juckson wus destined to give Tho party moved on, und before lang ane of tho men who carried the litter slipped'aud let it fall, 1t struck upon the hero's shouler where the bone had been shattered, and Wie ngony must have been extreme.\u201d Île grapngdd for i first time, but soon afterwhrds, when an officer aeked him if tho wound var paintv® Le «nid, * No, my friend, don\u2019t trouble yourself atout mo!\u201d At last they reached an hospital at Wilderness Run, five wiles fron the place where he was wounded.The doctors usked him whether they should awputate his arm if they found it uccessary and he replied, \u201c Yea, ecrtuinly, do for me whatever yon think right.\u201d General Lee meanwhile heard the news with deep grief, and sent a messago to his comrade, saying.\u201cI oan.not express wy regrot at the occurrence.Could I have directed events T should hisve chosen for the good of the country to have been disabled in your stead.I congratulate you upon the vie- tory, which is due to your skill and energy.\u201d That was the List communication which ever passed between these two great soldiers.Soon after Juckson hourd the letter road pneumonia attacked him, and he gradually sunk, Ho said onee, referring to lis wounds, \u201c1 consider these a blessing;

The walls cf many baildings were cracked in many places ; and it surprises every one thut the large stately edifices like the Occidental and Cosmopolitan Hotels, and other buildings of that claus, were not generally more seriously injured.More or less plastering fell from, perhaps, half the ceilings of the city.The cornice and fire walls fell from many buildings.The entire front of a four story brick buill- ing just erected on Third street fell outward, covering about half of that wide street with fragments.One independently constructed chimney of the Lick House full and crushed through the roof of the dining-room, coming down upon the tables and dishes, to the astonish.went of the boarders, who were taking lunch.Three of the servants were injured.Two Chinamen were badly injured by the falling of a fire wall on Jackson street, The City Hall bell commenced ringing on account of the vibrations of the tower.The interior walls of the building were much broken up.Fissures two or three inches wide were opened in the ground in the lower part of the vity,where it is made land; and some of this ground was clevated many inches above the former level.Bricf accounts from Sacramento, Stockton, and Sin Jose, represent the shock as the se- vercst ever felt in those cities.It was not felt at Marysville, nor at Placerville ;

ono head Fenian had told & witness there were 7000 to 8000 rifles in and about Dublin.Rifles were 000008, bowever, and to supply their placo until Dotter could be got, Stephens entored into a contrast with a blacksmith of the name of Moore to make pikes, at half-a-crown each.Moore rented sa out-of the-way stable for a forge and there, with four assistants, be continued t» make pikes fee several months.Altogether he wade 2,009.Pte pikes wont under the fictitious name of % gods.\u201d All the money for carrying on opers- thems eames from Ameries;

but if both calamities befall us, nothing but exabarrassinest and disaster can come of it.\u201c The present scason has shown to us how important dde Treaty is to us ; fiow many sdvan- tages?we derive from it.Is it not worth an effort to \u2018retain these advantages?Darely six weeks mare of navigation; barely six months more, and (these markets may be closed to us by a tariff of twenty per cent.against our products, A year has nearly elapsed since we knew that this would be the case, yet our public meu hare made no apparent effort to cither postpone or avert it.They Lave made ten times the effort to secure the doubtfully distant advantages of the acquisisjon of the frozen North-West than they have to retain Reciprocity.Mr.Galt, we arc told, expects that Congress at its December session Wil appoint commissioners to negotiate a new Treaty, and in the meantinie permit the old one to continue in force.We wish we could believe it.If it is so, it won't be in consequence of the efforts either he or his colleagues have made.Will the Gorernment wake up to the ibility of its repeal\u2014to the consequences which mast ensu® from that repcal Zand realise the responsibility that rests upon them toward averting it?Information is nccded in the United States; the members of Congress ara led by prejudice, and not by \u2018knowledge.It is our place to en'ightth thew on the facts of the question, and Mr.Gait ought to be the spokesman of the country.\u201d The truth of every word of this must be ap parent to all our renders.What prices would the farmers have Teveived this Fall for their butter, their grain, and their cattle, had they been excladed from the United States markot ?The fact is) that if #e had wanted the Reciprocity Treaty, at the present moment our farmers would be tho poorer by one-third at least.And yet our Gorerpment has taken no reslly ne tive Meps to mako sure of the ronewal of this treaty so important to the eountry\u2019s prospority.They could spend » whole session talking about Coafodorntivn-=a messure ihe people do ost care abvut-dend a delegation seross the ocomm to adrance it, sad vote $5,000 to foust tbe proini- ee a rare um ee mm Sr et mm 2 pe me sent nica of the Maritime Provinces in the hope of coaxing thew to adopt it.But to secure the renewal of the treaty of free intercourse between us ond our neizhbours, they lave done absolute ly nothing.With a lictle exertion, thoy might have prevented the voto in Congress to rescind the Treaty, sud in default of that they might have taken steps to have the bagjs of à new Treaty drafted and ready to supply the place of the old one.Instead of that, they have talked snd prated ubout uniting us to four poor Provinces until the country is sick of hearing it, and of plunging us into debt to build a uscless railroad, and buy a territory which is so cold thut it can only be useful as a penal settlement.Tho Treaty expires on the 15th of next March;

for the marriage is believed to have been a very happy one, despite u difference of station which would, doubtless, horrity the world iu general \u2014Cuurt Journal.IRELAND.At Cork, ou Tuesday, à man named Laniells, a shoemaker, on being brought belore the Magistrates, did not deny that he was a Fenian, aud asked the Boneh boldly, did they know what Feniapism wan?They would soon, he added, Le uuder him, instead of his being under thew.At Cork the principal thoroughfares are no longer blocked up by erowds of idlers listening to the dixcordunt yells of ballad-singers shouting \u201cAP crcon above the red.\u201d The publie-houres where the Brutherthiond were wont to asscmble nightly are deserted, and those who openly entered them last week with n defiant air now pass them on the other side of tLe street, ap- arently fearing to turn their eyes towards them.Sven the heroes who were arrested, and who a few days since were loud in their prowises to drive the Saxon into the sen, quailed when in the grasp of the police.Lynch, who possessed the green military unjforw of au officer high in command in the Fenn service, was no sooner called { from his bed thun he nearly fainted, and had to be restored by copious applications of w ter before he could be removed.Geary, the grocer, who wus adwitted by Lis confreres as u lad of andomituble * pluck,\u201d no sooner heard the policeman\u2019s knock at his street door than he was sans culotte upon the roof, scrambling over the slates until he discovered à means of descent and escape.A document has been found in Banbridge whigh has given rise to much discussion.On T@#day cvening last, about niue o'clock, a little girl named Aun June Falker, accompanied by another girl named, Aun Brennan, both mill- workers, were walking together in Church street, Dromore, when the former observed a folded paper lying in the water-tablo at the cdye of the footpath, nnd sceing that there was a good deal of writing on it, she curried it to her father, whe after reading the contents to several people in the town, hunded the document to the police.The paper has been a general topic of conversu- tion since its discovery.It is dated © Kilkenny,\u201d and is headed \u201c Circle No.7, 2nd division.General order.Hour of meeting, three o'clock, morning, 30th September.\u201d The names \u2018of certain persons in and about Dromore are mcn- tioned as brethren who are to act in the capacity of \u201coutlying scouts,\u201d and tho names of the secretary of the Circle, the acting adjutant nnd the drill master are ulso published fur the infur- mation of the brotherhood.The \u201c gencral order \u201d\u201d next gives directions regarding the conduct of certain opcrations by the society, and states that i % the Orangemen\u2019 are, in the first place, to be * settled\u201d.The available arms in the second division ure sct down ut BOO rifles, 500 bayoncets, and 200 cartridges.It is ulso stated that à nyinber of vessels, which are named.including @eustralusian, are to arrive nt Bantry Bay from the United States, carrying ammunition und articles of war.Tle ducument, ufter referring to the parade, concludes by stating that the pass word for the night shall be \u201c St.Col- n,\u201d and at the foot are the words \u201c Vive publica.\u201d In the body of the paper is the following dog Latin motto: \u2014 Fratws scriptus sunctum (sic);

As I could not at first swallow the rat myself, I took the trouble to verify, us fur as testimony could verify, the gluttonous feat of this python, and found I had been corrcetly informed.A still more incredible story of u Mull adder I give on my own author ity.The reptile was baskivg close to the wall, when my son's tutor (now minister of Kirkliston) threw a large stone, and fairly halved it.The head and shoulders wriggled tuto the wall, and lic brought the tail to we.Three duys after he found the head half at the same spot hale and hearty, and when attacked it hissed and bit his stick ficroely.This adder was severed about the centre, head and tail ends being about cqual lenzth.So prolite in adders wus\u2019 Mull, that we have found them in winter coiled up in a heather bush, no doubt surprised and frozen to death by onc of those pinching night frosts which often succeed the sunny butterfly days of early winter.MISCELLANEOUS.ITALY.\u2014 At a recent consistory the Pope, in lis ailncution, is reported to have spoken against scets in general and free masonry in particular, and to have censured the sovereign who protect them.The Minister of Justice in Prussia has iseucd a circular cautioning the judges of the lind not to frequent taverns or lunch at places of public resort.Tue Jesuits IN NEw Bruxswick.\u2014A private letter to the Minerve states that the Jesuits have just preached a retreat in St.John.New Brunswick, with extraordinary success, and caused a great religious revival.At the last service in the cathedral.there were no leas taun 6,000 people present.For the space of a fort.tight, fourteeu priests wero incessantly oeeupicd, from five o'clock in the morning until ten ut night, receiving confessions.Kizht thousand persons have confessed themselves, and received the Holy Sacrament, A Tyroleze sharpshooter has been condemned to eight months\u2019 imprisonment for having turned a crucifix into a target, Yet a new development of the cattle plague.It has now attacked not only poultry, but also the pigeons of Brussels, These birds are dying in nuwbers, snd decomposition sets in after death with extraordinary rapidity.A St.Louis merchant has sued for diviree on the ground that Lis marriage was performed when he was under the inflacoee of some stupelying potion the designing woman hd aduivistered to him.The clection in Newfoundland is approaching.The Recciver-General, Mr.Kent, in his address to his constituents aays:\u2014\u2018\u201c On the subject of confederation I have been misunderstood.The proposition for the union of the Colonics was sanctioned by the Imperial Government and scemed to meet the approval of the Colouics.While the question assumed that effect, 1 did not consider it advisable to encourage its immediate rejection.I advoeated the more courteous course of submitting the question to the country at large, to adopt or rejeet it.Since then New Brunswick has repudiated, and Nova Scotia hs a trembling fit.The representatives of our trade and commerce here, have emphatically expressed their disapproval, and the people at la responded to their decision.Under these circumstances, no matter what my private convictions may be, I must renounce the ad- voeacy of a measure at variance with the opinions of those on whom I rely for Parliamentary support.\u201d When we lave a prominent man like Mr.Kent thus voluntarily renouncing his former opinion on Confederation, there must be little prospect of tive measure being carried.Mr.Henry Liberman, of Padueah, Kentucky, has invented a new method of tanning leuther, which promises to bs of immense advantage to those in that line.By his method the hides are \u2018stretéhed on a particular kind of frame-work adapted for the purpose.The framework is then lowered into a large and deep vat, and is so arranged thut it revolves at the rate of 300 revolutions per hour.Every tanner knows that | the oftener the hides are handied.the quicker the tanning is accomplished.By Mr.Liberman\u2019s mode, the hides keep constantly moving, and the liquor circulates freely, and thus the tanning is soon accomplished.Luipartial judges assert that by this new invention Harness and Sole Leather cun be tanucd in six or eight wecks, calf skins in aix to eight days, and kip skins, upper und bridle Leather, in from ten to twelve dags, The Boston Transcript says that the first colored stndent at Harvard College was admitted to the Freshinun class Inst weeek.lis namo is Richard P.Greener.of Boston.EE BIRTH.On the 161h inat,, the wife of Mr.S.Montgomery, Huntingdon, of a daughter.BEAUMANNOIS MARKETS \" [reronten FOR TUR \u201c GLEANER.\").Suturdiy Evening, Oct.14, 1866.Flour, per quintal.@ O:tmoal, per quintal.0 00 @ 0 00 Barley, por 50 Ibe,.60 @ Gb Peas, per 70 Ida.90 @ 9;

there is great danger in doing otherwise.18y purchasing of us, he can keep his assortment up to the most practicable point, and replenish from week to week, ifuecessary, thus saving the Expenses incident to as many trips to Moutreal, which cannot very well be avoided Ly small purelins- ers, amd avolding the danger we have.pointed out.We cordially invite the attention of country dealers to our large stock.THE RETAIL DEPARTMENTS, It is uanceessary to cull specinl attention to the various retail Departments.They embrace everything in DRY GOODS READY MADE CLOTHING, BOOTS AND SHOES, GIHOCERIES, TEAS, SPIOES, AND GKNERAL OUTFITTING ESTABLISIE- MENT.In conclusion, we would suggost that the magnitude of our business duca not iuvolve an expense even approximately proportioned to a dozem of these Estublishments doing the same amount of husineas in the aggregate, where the profits on the suine amount of sales go to support as many proprietors and families, and compensate as many proprietors snd salesmen who are capable of duing four times the amount of husjuess they aro called onto do.It mast be obvious to the mont casual observer, that a single firm doing & business cqual to the entire number under a single roof, is enabled to effect a grent ssving which wo do not liesitate to share with our custome ers, Io procuring a cash market iz Huntingdon for all kinds of FARM PHODUCK, we claim to bo the Pioneers, aud are prepared at preseut to purchase Butter and all kinds of Grin, no matter how large tho quantity, tor Cush.ONE MORE WORD.We buy directly from the Manufacturers, Pay no intermediate profits, and we wll as cheap as any sortment of THRASHING MACHINES, FANNING | house in Canada, and dieplny the newest Styles and Patterns &s soon as issued.;

man the front teeth) first protrude through the gum, their top face is not smooth, the edges are elevated, and the centre depressed.This depression in the cutting surface is called the fossult.The fossula is not subjected to frie.tion, during mastication, owing to the cdges of the tooth.The fossula thercfire soon becomes black, and the black spot thus left is ealled the \u201cmark.\u201d In time the elevated rim of enamel wears down, the cutting surface of the tooth becomes flat, und as a consequence, the whole surface is exposed to attrition.and the mark disappears.The time occupied in wearing away the mark is pretty uuiform\u2014about three yeurs.Now, siuce we know about the age at which the teeth are put up, and about the time that the mark remains, we can calculate about the age of the horse, so long as any marks\u201d are lofi.At the age of three, the sccond sct, or permunent teeth, ure put up in the centre; and after this, one pair of permanent teeth appears every year till the age of five.The central pair of incisors couscquent!y loses it: mark on the attainment of tbe sixth year; and the psirs which appear in the fourth and fifth years lose tl:cir mark in the seventh and cighth.After the eighth year there is no accurate weans of estimating the uge of the horse; therefore, all horses over eight years are techoically termed ** aged\u201d \u2014aged that is, not as regards the decline of the vital energies, but simply as regar ls the wearing out of their marke.\u2014Chambers's Journal.Tue Way Tney MARE BCTTER ix FRANCE.\u2014It is well knowao that cream may be

twenty-five hours.Vi hen taken out the cream is very hard, and only requires beating for a short time with a wooden mallet, after which half\u2019a glase of water is thrown upon it, which causes the butter-milk to separate fiom the butter.It the quantity of creumn to be converted into butter is large, it is deft wore than twenty-five hours in the ground.In winter, when the ground is frozen the
