Mr.. Sloan, of GAINESVILLE, after having suf-

cured by using the Hebrew Plaster.
Mr.. Anderson, Of Putnam, was troubled
for long time with lame back, occasioned
by overlifiing, and was cured by using this
plaster.
A man (name not recollected,) of Gratiot,
in Licking county, was entirely cured of

ANIMAL SAGACITY.

An instance Of animal sagacity and hu-
mainly, unequalled in our remembrance,
took place before Our door lately. An unfor.
tunate dog, in order to make sport for some
fools, had pan tied to his tail, and was
sent off on his travels towards Gait. He
reached the village utterly exhausted, and
lay down before the steps Of Mr.. Young's
tavern, cycling mos. anxiously the horrid an
noyancc hung behind him, but unable to
move step further, or rid himself Of the
torment. Another dog, Scotch colly,
came up at the same time; and, seeing the
distress Of his crony, laid himself gently
down beside him, and, gaining his conf.
dence by few caresses, proceeded to snaw
the string by which the noisy appendage was
attached to his friends tail, and by a GUAR.
ter Of an hours exertion savered the cord,
and started to his legs with the pan hanging
from the string in his mouth; and after a
few joyful capers around his friend, departed
on his travels in the highest glee at his sue
cess.-Edinbmrg Weekly Chronicle.

The Use OF THE PEAcocK's Tall

Stunning such a terrific aspect as may con.
found the faculties Of the punuer, and strike
him with an eflectual though empty terror.
The beauty of the peacock's plumage was
a theme of admiration in the remotest times
and the bird was sought after as capable Of
adding splendor to the magnihcence Of
Solomon. The chief display Of this beauty
arises from that arrangement of long and
gorgeous feathers which spring from the
space between the region behind the wings
and the origin Of the tail but the use OF
this TO the bird itself has been a subject oil

closer examination Of the habits Of this bird
will afford different explanation. The

being distracted by hundred glaring ewes
meeting his gaze in every direction. A hiss
from the head in the centre, which in shape
and colors resembles that Of serpent, and
rustic from the Trembling quilts, are attended
by an advance Of the most conspicuous por-
ton Of this bulk; which is in itself an &C.
ton oil retreat, being caused by receding
motion Of the body Of the bird. That must
be bold animal which does not pause at
the sight Of such an object; and short in.
terval is sufficient to ensure the safety of the
bird; but il, after all, the enemy should be
bold enough to risk an assault, it is most
likely that its eagerness or rage would be
spent on the gliitering appendages, in which
case the creature is Invested only of tina,
which a lutte time will again supply. A
like explanation may be offered of the use

fuse, are instruments Of protection in offer

we be able TO characterize worthily (viz.
poetically,) our city autumn! The few

the iron ratings that shut them in. The
green spots still left before some OF our tall

The GENERAL.-Not General Taylor,
nor General Scott, nor General Training
for We will have nought to do with heroes
Of magnitude-but General Tom Thumb
His honor is the subject Of our story. Great
in his littleness, prodigious in diminutive
proportions, he fills large place in the
public eye; and, quite different from a mote
or beam, he keeps it wide open, in astoLish-
ment and pleasure. Niagara, and the Natu-
raj Bridge, and Mont Blanc and the Pyra-
mids, are something, to be sure; and the
Maelstrom and Mount Etna have had their
gazers; and Gibraltar is important, and St.
Peters imposing, and Pompeii deep, and
the Mammoth Cave awful, and Stafa sub
lime; but the General is all these. We
have good reason to believe that the world
has never witnessed his like. The beauti-
full little dog that crept out Of nutshell, in
the old story of-what was it! the White
Cat. or Beauty and the Beasts his very

gifted. could not sing pretty little songs, or

ADVICE TO OLD JokERs.-Always let
your jokes be well timed. Any time will
do for good, but no time will do for bad
one. Any place will fit, provided the Joke
itself be fitting. but it never fits il Joke
be out Of its place. No man can order a
Joke as he would his coat, at Stultz's, or
his boots at Hoby's. Jokes are not only
often out OF order, but We have known io-
kers ordered out in short, any man who
attempted to Joke out Of order, should eth
er be provided with a straight waisNoai, or
be kicked out Of society.
In concocting jokes, as in making pud-
dIngs, each person employs similar mate
rails, but the quality Of the dish is entirely
dependent on the skill OF the artist. As
gold becomes refined by passing through
the ordeal OF fire, so Truth is the purer for
being tested by the furnace of fun; for
Jokes are, TO facts what melting pots are to
metal. The utterer Of a good Joke is a use
full member to society, but the maker CT a
bad one is more despicable character than
the veriest coiner by profession.
A Joke from gentleman is an act OF
charity; an uncharitable Joke is an ungen-
tlenanly act. The retort courteous is the
toucbstone of good feeling; the reply chur-
lish the proof Of cold-headed stupidity.
