A DRoLL story is related Of an honest
old farmer, who, attempting to drive home
a bull, got suddenly hoisted over the
fence. Recovering himself, he saw the
animal on the other side Of the rails,
saving the air with his head and neck,
and paving the ground. The good old
man looked steadily at him 4 none 1t,
and then shaking his fist at him, exclaimed,
"Darn your apologies, you needn't stand
there, you tarnal critter, a bowin' and

Cuffee Taking Notes.

A great many years ago, says the" Gar
pet Bag" when there were slaves Ill Mas
sachusetts, and some of the best men in
the community owned them, there was
clergyman in a town in Essex county,
whom we may call MIR. Cogswell, who
bad an old favorite servant by the name
of Cuffee. AS was often the case, CufFee
had as much liberty to do as he pleased
as any body else in the house; and he
probably entertained a high respect for
himself.
Cufee, on the Sabbath, might have
been seen in the minister's pew, looking
round with grand air, and, so far as
appearances indicated, profiting quite as
much by his masters preaching as many
others about him.
Cuffee noticed, one Sunday morning,
that several gentlemen were taking notes
of the sermon; and he determined to do
The same thing. So, in the afternoon, he
brought n sheet Of paper, and pen and
ink. The minister, happening to look
down into his pew, could hardly maintain
his gravity, as he saw his negro "spread
out" to his task, with one side of his face
nearly touching the paper, and his tongue
thrust outo his mouth. Cuffee kept at
his notes, however, until the sermon was
concluded, knowing nothing, and caring
as little, about the wonderment of his
master.
When the minister reached homo. he
sent for Cufee, to come into his study.
"Well, Cuflee," said lie, "what were
you doing in meeting, this afternoons"
Doing, Nassau Taking notes was
his reply"
"You taking notes9" exclaimed his
master.
"sartau, Massa; all the gentlemen
take notes.
"Well, let me see them," said Mr..
Gogswell
Cuaec thercupon produced his sheet Of
paper, and his master found it scrawled all
over with all sorts of marks and lines, as
though dozen spiders, dipped in ink, had
marched over it.
"Why, this is all nonsense" said the
minister, as he looked at the "notes."
Well, Massa, Cuffee replied "I thought
so all the time you was preachingE

The Steamer Promo Cd e Us .

We learn that the rumor respecting the
Prom etheus, which we published on Tuesday al
ternoon, was brought from San Juan to Chagres by
the British steamer. The report there was that
the PromeiheuS had got on board 300 passengers,
and was waiting for more whereupon those on
board first demonstrated, urging Capt Tlnkel-
paueh TO sail but he refused again and again. At
last they took possession of the steamer, put the
captain IN irons, asd ordered the mate 10 get up
steam for Newly oTk, which he had promised TO
