expression: He is firm, yet respectful to others

since led to such astonishing results His judicous

The Rev. CESAR OrwAY in his recently
published paper on 1.-The intellectually of Domes-

dote, which is by far TOO good not TO receive The
benefit of wider circulation AT the flour mills
ofTubbera keena, near Conmel, while in the pos
session of the late Mr.. Newbold there was goose.
which, by some accident, was left solitary, without
mate or offspring, gander or gosngs. Now it
happened, as is common that the miller's wife had
set number Of duck eggs under hen, which in
due time Were incuba,ed and of course the duck
Ings MS soon rs they came forth, ran with natural
instinct to the water, and the hen was in a sad puck
er--her maternity urging her TO follow the brood
and her selhshness disposing her to keep on dry
land. In the meanwhile up sailed the goose. and
with noisy gable, which certainly (beinp inter
preted) meant, leave them to my care. she swan
up and down with the ducklings and when they
were tired with their aquatic excursion, she con
signed them TO the care of the hen. The next
morning down came again the ducklings TO the
pond, and there was the goose waiting for them
and there stood the hen in her great fustraton.-
On this occasion we are not at all sure that the
goose invited the hen--o5Servng her maternal
troube-but it is fact she, being near the shore.
the hen jumped on her back, and there sat, the
ducklIngs swimming, and the goose and hen after
them, up aud down tho pond. And this was no, a
solitary event; day after day the hen was seen on
board the goose, attending the ducklings up and
down, In perfect contentedness and good humor /:
numbers Of people coming to witness the c;rcum-
Stance, which continued until the ducklings, com
ing to days OF discretion, required no longer the
Joint guardianship of the goose and hen.

The St. Louis papers publish circular
from Mr.. O'Reilly, in (which he, agrees, SPIT
cially, a, soon as s., 900 worth OF s.ocl. is
purchased BY The citizens Of Alton, to extend
the magnetic telegraph to that city-and
generally, to extend it ''irom 81. Louis and
Alton, via Jacksonville, Springfield, Peoria,
Pekiu, Peru, Ottawa, LOckport, Joliet, or
such other places on such other route as may
be found most expedient in view Of the
prompt attainment Of the pecuniary means
requisite for the construction of a Geographic
Line from ST. Louis and Alton TO Lake Mich

twill be seen by this that if the citizens
OF Peru, Ottawa, Joliet, Sc, want the ,ele.
graph line to pass through those places, they
VIII have something to do-they will have
to take stock, and that soon, for O'Reilly is
not the man to wait, and they will have to
take enough, too, to give them prcpondcr.
atins influence in marking out the route.
We see by the Galcna papers that the cit.
liens there are awake on the snbjec. and
have got promise from o'Reilly that if they
subscribe $1,000 before sufficient stock is
takento fxihe route via Peru, Ottawa, SC ,
he. viii divert it, as to pass from Peoria d..
rectiy to Galena, and thence to Chicago or
Milwaukee. The prospect is that the nee.
cisary amount will be raised in Galcna with
out difficulty. The people of Peru Ottawa sc.
must therefore see the importance Of i'm
mediate action if they would not have
the lightning line diverted from this, the
natural route.
