A FATHERLY TURKEY.-The Providence Post
tells the following story: "There is on the
farm of Mr.. Paris Mathewson, in Johnston, a
male turkey, who has, the present season, set
upon twenty-one eggs, and hatched eighteen Of
them; having driven his better half from the
nest, and taken upon himself all the female
cares of domestic life, and spurned all interfer-
ence from the gentler sex. This isn't all
When his turkeyship got his own brood out of
the shell, he found that some of the women
folks in the old flock had also been at work,
and that there were in all sixty-seven young
turkeys to be taken care of. All these he has
taken care of; and is now a sort of lord mayor
of the whole tribe, and knocks down all the in
terfering old ladies that come into his presence.
He is queer old fellow, and good one into
the bargain"

For the American Telegraph.

/ congratulate my fellow citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia that we have at length in our
midst truly independent journal--one which,
while it has scrupulous regard for those pro-
prieties and courtesies which adorn editorial as
well as social life, at the same time does not
hesitate to speak the truth boldly and fearlessly
censuring pro6igacy and corruption wherever
found, whether in high places or low. Such a
paper we have in the American Telegraph; as
such it deserves the countenance and support
of every one who has q regard for public mo-
rality, and of every lover of truth and justice.
Subject to no control but that of its worthy and
talented proprietors; revolving around no clique,
and no clique revolving around it--it affords a
bright exemplar of what public journal should
be. 1t is welded to no particular class, but
upholds the interests of all, sustaining with n
master-hand the rights and dignity of labor
against the expressions of aristocracy or the
voracious demands of capital Such paper
deserves the support and encouragement of our
citizens; indeed it would be discredit to the
National Metropolis if it should not be sup
ported handsomely and literally. Let all then
come forward and enter their names MS patrons.
We have paper worthy of us-let US prove
ourselves worthy of it. FAIR PLAY.

SWEET PoTAroEs.-A gentleman residing in
South Alabama writes to friend in Louisville,
concerning new variety of the sweet potato,
supposed to be from Peru. He says 1t is
altogether different, and much superior to any
variety of this root hitherto known. 1t is pro-
ductive, and attains a prodgious size, even
upon the poorest sandy land, and the roots
remain without change from the time of taking
them out of the ground until the following May

A GREAT ISvENTIoN.-The Albany Argus de-
scribes newly-invented machine for planning
wood, which is now in operation in that city.
1t says Nothing heretofore invented approaches
it, either in respect to the speed with which it
does its work, or the accuracy of surface and
finish which it gives to every thing which passes
through it in the shape of plank or board. A
rough board, placed within its vortex, comes
out as even and polished as mirror, to the
tune of 108 feet a minute-and this without
driving the machine Its maximum capacity is
double, and even treble this speed-and the
greater the power and the rapidity of the work
ing, the more perfect is its execution. We can
well believe that it will turn ont work Mt the
rate of 200 and even 800 feet per minute--or
as fast as it can be fed In this respect it out
strips the famous Woodworth invention, and
promises to supersede it entirely The maxi
mum capacity of that machine, we are told is
80 or 40 feet per minute.
