GLEANINGS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS

PRIZE BUTTER AND BARLEY.—The western papers
say that " down east" they have a quality of butter
which.is styled the Heenan Butter because it's so strong.
Ter contra, a Western farmer offers some splendid barley
which he styles Sayers barley, because it's well trashed.
—Commercial Bulletin.

The Wantons (Wisconsin) Angus says :—Last week
we chronicled the decease of a Mrs. Case, of this village,
"aged sixteen years, six months, and ten days." Mrs.
C., so early called from life to death, was married about
three years ago, and has left three little children to mourn
a mother's loss—a sad commentary on the error of such
early marriages. Let parents beware, and girls take
warning.

Miss Emmeline Dellinger, an interesting and handsome
young lady, daughter of a wealthy farmer in Crawford
County, Ohio, lately left her home for Mansfield, with
the intention of getting married. When she arrived
there she found that the young man to whom she was
affianced had been wedded to another only the day
before. The shock was too severe for her tender and
affectionate nature--she felt that she was deserted,
betrayed, and that death was preferable to a life without
love in this cold,. cheerless world. She returned home,
took strychnine and died.
The young lady, about whom the love troubles of the
young Prince of Wales have begun, and which have led,
according to rumour, to his visit to the North American
colonies, is the Lady Caroline Villiers, daughter of- the
Earl of Jersey, and grand-daughter of the late Sir,Robt.
Peel, of whom the Countess of Jersey was the eldest
daughter. She is very young, not over 17 ; the Prince
not 19 until November next.. 'lt may be held to be'one
of the plagues of high station -that, if these young
people really love each other, they should be separated ;
and that, whether they do or not, their names should be
mixed up with scandal on both sides of the Atlantic.

How OLD ABE RECEIVED THE NEWS. —When the
news 'of the nomination for the presidency was received
in Springfield, Mr. Lincoln was in the State Journal
office. A boy came headlong, into the room where he
was sitting, with a sealed despatch, which he placed in
his hand'. Mr. Lincoln opened it, and a sadden pallor
came over his features. He gazed upon it intently
nearly three minutes. Then his customary smile
returned,,,,apd he rose, saying—" Well, boys, there is a
little woman down at our house who is interested in
this business;" and he. walked away without any
further appearance of agitation to inform Mrs. Lincoln
of the joyful news.
In order to accommodate the number of persons that
it is expected will visit Montreal on the occasion of the
Prince of Wales's visit to that city, it is proposed to erect
near the Montreal Cricket Ground, a temporary hotel,
which will accommodate 6,000 people. Mr. Coleman,
the proprietor of the Montreal House, is the moving spirit
in the matter. It is intended to make the building 400
feet square. The space included within the walls of the
building will be 310 feet by,340, which it is designed to
floor over, if necessary, for -the purpose of a ball-room,
The cost of the undertaking will be between £6,000 and
£7,000, more than one-half of which would be got back
from the sale of the materials.
Mr. F. D. Madden, who has some negro blood in his

veins, but who carries hardly a sign of it in his com-
plexion, lives in Milwaukee. On Monday, he purchased
tickets for himself and two ladies accompanying him, by..
which he was admitted to reserved seats in the theatre.
While the play was going on, the manager, one Webb,
was informed of the taint in the blood of one of his
patrons. He immediately wrote the following note and
sent it to Mr.. Madden:—" You had better come and
see me, or you will have trouble.—Webb." Mr. Mad-
den took no notice of the note, and the manager ordered
the policeman present to eject him, which the policeman
declined to do. Upon this, Mr. Webb performed the
ejectment himself. Some legal proceedings will pro-
bably grow out of the transaction.

Nest-
HAY avarrazo FOR CONCS.--Otis Brigham, of West-
venty years' experience in
borough, Mass., after se
farming, says, in The New Eng
llbsn. of ad Fallikr, that goon
d
cows will eat on an average 20 hay per day whe
giving
_milk, and 1.5 lbs. when dry—not by guess work,
but tested by actual weighing for months at a time.
Then it is easy to calculate the cost of milk. In the 11
neighbourhriOd of New York
‘,the average value of hay
is 1 cent. a lb., and the average quantity of milk not
over six quarts. At 31 cents. a quart it win pay the
hay bill, and 1 cent. a day over. If other feed is given
the increase of milk must pay for that. The manure
will be worth at least the cost of attendance and milk-
ing. If the milk is worth more than 31 cents. it gives
a profit, and if less, a loss. The rule is a useful one for
those who buy hay, as it shows them how much must
be provided to winter a cow. We would not risk a
Provision of less than 2 tons per cow.
In the Common Pleas of Lucerne county, Penn., last
week, a somewhat singular case was tried. The ad-
ministrators of the estate of Elisha Harris had offered
his effects at public sale. Among other things was an
uncouth block of wood, supposed by some to be part of
a cheese press, but the true character and object of
which was unknown. David M. Hutmacher bid it off
for 16 cents., and laid it out against the fence until
night, when be carried it home. Subsequently_be

somewhere about the premises. An amicable suit Was
brought for the recovery of the contents of.the block, to

STRANGE COMBAT.—AN UNEXPECTED CHAMPION.

The Quebec Mercury says :—A subscriber; residing- at
Cape Rouge, one of our oldest and most esteemed resi-
dents, informed us yesterday of about as extraordinary a
eight, we fancy, as has ever been witnessed. Early on
Friday, morning last his attention was called by his wife
to a strange bird causing disturbance among the fowls
in the yard, and on•obtaining a glance at them he was
astonished to find a wild bird, a black partridge of small
size, had made himself at home, and was fighting with a
large Spanish cock. The contest was kept up for a
long time, and was not a little exciting to witness.
The "rooster," as Jonathan would politely style him,
fought scientifically, but nevertheless got the worst
of 'it; for when he would jump at the partridge
to spur him, the latter ,would rush under his legs, and
taking him in the rear, give him a sound drubbing.
1;13 fight ended in the, stranger getting hold of the

cock by the neck, and shaking be was tired,
when, Oe §kaniard sneaked off. OW.foihiebological
friends, ,including Lemoine, will probatlYge sur=
prised when we add that; taking advantage of his
victafy, the Mack partridge, whose species rarely show
themselves in the neighbourhood, has made his appear-
ance every morning among the birds in the same barn
yard, taking the hens trader his protection as if he was
one of the family:

ANOTHER ELOPEMEN't. FRENCH GIRL AMONG
THE IsimANs.—in the early pate of last winter, says
the rainier (Mass.) - /Or ar; ar part' of wandering
Indians pitched, their tent near the village. of &field,
and for several weeks made and peddled baskets. Among
them was a French girl, young and bewitching, as all
pretty French girls are apt to be. She made the
acquaintance of one. Oris S. Ward, a comparatively
young man, who could boast of a large pair of whiskers,
an affectionate wife and two children. He kept the board-
ing-house for the Minot Manufacturing Company, and
was considered a very respectable man. When the Indians
strack their tent and left the town, the French girl went
into the family of Ward, and assisted his wife through the
winter.. On the Ist of April she left town, Ward taking
her to the =sin Palmer. A correspondence soon com-
menced betweenlfard and the girl, the frequency of
which excited the suspicions of the postmaster. On the
3rd instant Ward suddenly left town, and on the same
day a letter came fOr him from Cliftondale, in the town
of Saugus. The letter remained in the office a day or
two, when the postmaster received a line from the French
girl recalling the letter she had sent to Ward, stating
..that she had made a:great mistake, as she had learned
that Ward had left town. The letter was taken to
Ward's wife, who was overwhelmed with grief on reading
it. It revealed the whole mystery of her husband's ab-
sence, and opened the floodgates of village gossip. The
following is a copy of the letter, verbatim :
CLIFTONDALE, May 1.

" My dear and beloved husband if i may be permitted
to call you-so, i received your longed for letter and
would rather, have it than a fist dollar bill. How i have
longed for the time to come when i can sit in your lap
and bug and kiss you as much as i please and bury my
face in your whiskers. i have been to Boston and find
that the steamboat leaves Foster's wharf for Bangor on
tuesday and Fridays at 5 o'clock. i will
.meet you at
Worcester depot on. the 4th. be sure and come. your
affectionate wife. ANNIE RATTLE.

" P. S2—be sure and cut off part of your whiskers."
It is supposed that Ward and the girl have gone to
Canada. He left debts behind to the atnonut of $3OO or
$4OO, which is a poor consolation to the injuied wife and
children.

CAREER. OF A QUACK DOCTOR IN WASHINGTON.—
The Washington correspondent of the Boston Traveller
sends the following account of the exposure of a quack
doctor in Washington, who pretended to extraordinary
skill in the cure of ear diseases :—" A professed surgeon
has just been exposed as a swindler, and after the most,.
extraordinary imposture on his part, and credulity on
that of our citizens, has been driven from the city,
after being obliged to refund, in part, his ill-gotten
gains. Dr. J. E. E. Ealing put up at the National,
and, by placards and advertisements, professed ability
to cure deafness by an operation, He claimed to
be ' operating surgeon' to Queen Victoria, and spoke
of Sir 'James Clarke as his colleague. His theory
was that by the removal of a certain something
from the ears, by a process peculiarly his own, the
hearing would be gradually restored, and be perfect in
the course of a month. His plan was to extract from
the ear of a patient some foreign substance introduced
by himself, or some` dead skin, and exhibit it in tri-
umph. In this way he imposed upon many. A relative
of Senator Brown of Mississippi paid him $5OO for
an operation on her Son. It is estimated that he
made at least $l,OOO a .day before his detection.
But at last he was met and recognised -by Mr.
May, the most eminent surgeon of this city, who
is lecturer before a medical college in Nashville, Tenn.,
as the same person who had flourished there last winter
as a earn-cutter and quack generally. Dr. May had
the man arrested under the law that disallows persons
from abroad to practise in the district without a
diploma. When brought before the magistrate the
culprit begged and pleaded for release, acknowledging
the truth of the doctor's charges, and promising to
leave the city at once. He was enlarged on bail,
and on deposit in the hands of the magistrates of
$3OO in gold. On returning to his rooms at the
National he locked his doors on plea of illness. But
as the
.news got among his victims they grew
clamorous, and on Sunday broke his doors open. to find
the bird flown. An officer was despatched to the depot,
to intercept his flight, without success. But Governor
J3rown searched in person for him, and employed a police-
man to l*lp him, and, not finding the man on the train,
kept on to Bladensburg, thinking he might be concealed.
They, found him before arriving at that place, and though
he and his daughter offered their watches and jewellery
for release, took him from the train, and without warrant
put him into a waggon and brought him across the State
line to Washington. There he assigned the draft for
,4500, paid him by the relative of hii captor, to Governor
Brown, who left him in the hands of the police.

We have to announce with deep reget the unexpected
death, after a short illness, of Mr. Houston Browne, of
'the Inner Temple, barrister-at-law, a staunch and able
advocate of-Conservative principles.
DONATIONS FOR REDUCING THE NATIONAL DEBT.—
A parliamentary return, issued on Tuesday morning, gives
the amount of donations and bequests, and dividends on
stock, towards reducing the national debt, bequeathed
since the passing of the 4th Geo. IV., cap. 19 (1823).
The total amount is £676,856 ss. 61. The largest
bequest was in 18.55, being the sum of £193,457175. 5d.,
the " bequest of residue of personal estate of John
Ashton, of Newton Bank, near Hyde, Cheshire, trans-
ferred by Court of Chancery." A few small sums have
been given anonymously. In 1829 a female patriot"
sent £6, and in 1855 " a valetudinarian," £2. In 1828
the suer of 33,500 francs (51,508 6s. fid.) was sent
anonymously frOm. Paris to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer " towards the reduction of the national debt."
Eleven donations of £l,OOO each were made between
the years 1843 and 1839 by the Hon. Marmaduke Lang-
ley, and a rev! sums varying from £5 to £l3O are credited
to the "ladies' contribution." In 1826 John Philips,
Esq., left £9OO, and in 1831 "A. H. C." 34;t0.
A Honsz DEALTNG TRICK.—A letter in a London
contemporary describes a curious fraud said to be prac-
tised by horse-dealers :—"Shortly after attaining four
years old the last of the small coltish teeth disappear,
and in the colt Oro fang-like teeth, called the tushes,'
appear for the , ,first time in a place where there were
previously no teeth at all. That it has become of late
years a common practice in the horsebrecding districts
to do a piece of dentist's work by pulling out the coltish
teeth before their natural time, and lancing the gums
Nvfiere the tushes come, and thus bring on the teeth of
Maturity before their time. The animal is also fat-
' tened up so as to look more manly in frame, so to speak.
So successfully is this fraud practised that it often baf-
fles the scrutiny of the cleverest veterinary surgeons,
and a case has come to my knowledge of an experienced
sportsman, a master of one of the crack packs of fox-
hounds, one of the finest riders and best judges of a
horse in England, actually riding hard all through a
hunting season a three•year-old colt under the belief
that it was five years old, so cleverly had its 'mouth
been forwarded,' as the phrase among these gentry is."
A• SKETCH FROM THE CARNIVAL AT ROME.—After
this follows the diversion of the moccoletti—a most lively
and exciting amusement—every one engaging in it car-
rying a lighted' candle, which he tries to preserve to the
last against the efforts of every one else to extinguish it.
Sometimes an unfortunate who has battled bravely
through a group all intent on putting out his moccolo,
finds it suddenly extinguished by a huge gaily-painted
extinguishe'r, let down from a balcony overhead. ' This
is the most fatiguing sport of the Carnival, as one has
not only to defend one's own moccolo, but to expend a
vast amount of breath in puffing out one's neighbour's.
Then the streets ring with the words "Smut moccolo!"
(without a light) shouted in every diversity of voice
and accent—and amid this tumult, struggle, and wild
sport the Carnival terminates. To-morrow begin Lenten
observances, and fasting and devotions take the place

of feasting and revelry. The last year of the Carnival
is always being predicted, but it seems never to come;
and, certainly, as a truly popular amusement, bringing
all classes together in perfect good humour, and on the
same footing,-it would be a pity it should cease to be,
for we think that seldom is the fun and frolic converted
into riot or unlawful excesses. So we say in parting
With it, "Evvivii it Carnevale."—Once a Week.

Tut ITALIAN HERO. —Garibaldi, it becomes more
and more clear, is a man after the English heart ; noble
and daring, courageous as a lion, and generous to a fault.
A skilful captain,he steers his vessel through the stormy
waves of the. Mediterranean, landing on a rocky coast,
on the only point where a good sailor would think of
lauding,-.. A cunning guerilla chief, he then leads his
adventuring invaders- through the intricate mountain
passes, gathering the diScontented populations around
him, as the' avalaiche gathers its strength in rolling
from the Alps. Next we see him beleaguring a strong
fortress, garrisoned by fifty thousand soldiers, with only
a handful of
.men, and in a nowise scientific fashion ;
and then on- a sudden he changes into a diplomatist,
holds conferences with crafty Bourbon delegates, and
beats theM in the cabinet as he has beaten them on the
field. lie who but a few hours before was Garibaldi
the filibuster, Garibaldi the invader, the intruder, the
robber, now suddenly becomes, in the eyes of even
King Ferdinand's envoys, "his Excellency the General
Garibaldi, is fawned at by the royal minions, and has
'a strong fotres;, and a town with half-a.-million of in-
habitants, made over to hmt in the most polite and
affable manner. Thus in less than two weeks he con-
quers the pearl of the Mediterranean, adding a splendid
proiince to united Italy, and gaining for himself an
everlasting fame. No wonder that our own deed-ad-
miring English public gets enthusiastic about such a
