THE Rock RIVER DAMs-The destruction
of these dams, which, it had been supposed
was caused by the high water, is now attri-
buted to the depredations Of Muskrats.
The plank road at Wicksburgh, s miles
east of Watertown is covered with water to
the deepth Of two feet, for three fourths of a
mile, and teams are not allowed to cross-The
stage passengers are taken across in skiffs.
The river al " atertowu has risen u inches.
but TO serious damage has been done
Butabout one-third of the Horizon dam was
carried away, instead of the whole as first ru-
mored.
The extent of land overlooked is estimated
at 10000 acres. The water il is feared will
recede slowly, and the hot sun Of summer ac-
ting upon it, will cause much sickness.

The New York Mirror contains the follow
ing description of Mr., Meagher, which is
probably correct one:
" His appearance would indicate man of
abouttwenty-f years of age, not corpulentas
has been stated, butof medium height, strong,
compact frame, large. well formed head
finely set, sparkling mild eye, and a coun-
tenance alternating in colors between the rose
and sun-browned. In short, man with
strong Hibernian bodily characteristics tho
his features and voice are far less marked
that way. His voice is soft and full rather OF
the tone called " affected" though there is
no afIectaiion in Mr.. Meagher's speech OF
manner. He speaks with dellbeTation, but
clearly, and to the point.
- Mr., NJ. is no egotist-vanity and conceit
have no part in him. He has escaped from
bondage, and is proud to stand upon our free
soil under the folds of our starry flag and the
protection of our laws. He has come among
us from his captivity not beggar, but to
dwell in our tents, to practice his profession,
the law, in our midst, and to share our indie
pendence and hospitality. His father Is a
man Of large wealth.
{" Mr.. Meagher married in Van Dieman's
Land, and his wife will, no doubt, soon join
him here. He speaks highly of the soil and
climate he has just left, and expresses deep
sympathy with the free English colonists
there, who, he says, are full of the spirit of
liberty, preparing In due time TO take a place
among the nations "

SoDDING RAMRoAD.-Last week We took
a short excursion East on the Michigan Cen
trail Railroad, and were gratlied to observe,
at different points, large number of labor
ers engaged in filling up, dwelling and sod
ding the road bed. Where the work had
been completed, the cars appeared to be run
ming over beautiful green ridge, with nc in
dications of a road but the black iron rail-
Mr.. Brooks, the enterprising Superintendent,
is wide awake to everything calculated to rem
der this road a popular thoroughfare, and he
is not unmindfal of the fact that one of the
greatest drawbacks to the pleasure of travel
ing over the Railroads of the United States,
is the clouds Of dust and flying sand which
fill the lungs and nearly destroy the eyes of
passengers whenever they open a window TO
get fresh air. So much has this become a
source of annoyance on the Eastern roads,
that some Of them have a sprinkler !un ahead
of the train, and lay the dust with a copious
sprnkliHg Of water. Mr.. Brooks plan of
sodding will probably cost more to commence
with, bat not so much in the end, while it
will be altogether a more certain and elfec-
tive remedy.-ChiCago Trib.

Disappointed Thief.

On the 10th inst, Nathaniel Ao'mes, a
notorious rogue, residing in the district OF
Richmond, took advantage Of the tempestu- &.
Gus weather Of the night, to look about the
city for wndfall. lie discovered horse
and wagon stading in Race street, and sup
posing that the owner of the vehicle had Ia
ken shelter in cighboring hotel, he noun
ted the drivers seat, took formal possession
Of the property, and drove off towards his
own residence. The drive W not pleas
ant one, for the storm beat furiously in the
wagon and the rain saturated every !'lread
on the back of Mr.. Holmes; but all human
affections must have an end: the percaititF
reached his place of destination at last, and
cxultingly drove the wagon into his yard, :
While preparing to unhamess the horse, h"-
soliloquiscd: "Well, I've pretty near earhed
that wagon, anyhow; and | wouldn't drvcsl
it through such storm again, for 1t or tive
Ike it, However, the job is done now, and
1Ill 90 in and get something to drink, "Ies,
and fetch me some too,' said rough xoice
from the inside Of the wagon. The astonish-
ed thief had not sufficient presence of mini
to stir an inch, but looked on aghast. while
a pair of long legs were poked out Of the
aperture in front, and the remaining portions
OF stout muscular c ountryman, soon made
their appearance. The rascally Nathaniel
had stolen one astical more than he cxpcc-
ted; besides the horse, wagon and apper-
tcnances, he had brought the body OF the
proprietor, Mr.. George Hubbard, who, at
the time Of starting, was lyin dead drunk at
the bottom of The wagon. Jolting along over
the stones revived him, and he had re-
covered his senses per Iectly just about the
time that the thcving rogue Holmes had
dismounted on his own premises. "YoH
don't like the idea of another drive through
this storm?" said Hubbard sucastically:
"Wel, you'll have to try it old fellow
You must drive me back again, and you'll
have the wind dead ahead this time, to make,
the trip more comfortable" Holmes saw
that it was useless to resist or to demonstrate;
Hubbard was a man of might and would
have lis own way. The poor rascal was /
compelled to drive back to the city, and, by.
Mr.. Hubbard's direction, the first stopping
place was the watch-housc, where Holmes,
hilleted for the night, with a pleasant assur
ance from Mr.. Hubbard that he should Be.
held accountable for the theft.

An Audience Taken In.

A fine trick was played off in Augusta,
Ga, few days ago. The papers there
gave great note ofaperformance by French
opera troupe. At night the house was pref
ty well filled, but no music was hcared.-
1t turned out that ,he troupe consisted of a
diminutive foreign Barnum, and nobody else
He stood at the door taking the money unit
the time for the performance came lie then
leaving door keeper in his stead, passed
through the audience to the stage with much
foreign impression, as though he intended
to hurry on the singers; but it appeared that
no curtain rose. The audience becoming
impatient, Instituted a series of inquiries,
when it was discovered that back ofthe stage
was door, and thence, it was supposed
with some show of reason, the little foreigner
had vanished with what money he had 90:
Neither hide nor hair of the operatic troupe
was to be found, and it was presumed that
there was no troupe save this little runaway
man.
The audience laughed-on on the wrong side
of its mouth, and then grew indignant, and
at the last accounts we have, a committee
was appointed to watch the railroads egres-
sive from the city to .ook after Mr.. Diddlcr:
and it was shrewdly suspected that if found
he would receive an elemosynary coat of tar
and feathers, besides, perchance, a ride on
somthing sharp like rail.

Scene in a San Francisco Court.

Scene in a San Francisco Court.
A marine friend of ours, says an exchange,
who recently arrived here from California,
furnishes us with the following sketch of a
scene in the Courthouse, of which he was
an eyewitness
-HThe scene opens with the city Marshal,
having in his custody the captain of one of
the vessels lying in the port. On entering
the Judge rises and addressing the captain,
says: ....
Captain, these are very grave charges
brought against you. Splitting in mans
face---pulling his nose--and kicking him.
Are they true?''
The Captain hesitated moment. Scorn-
ing the idea of denying the charge, fearing
to tell an untruth; and not dcsrous of ac-
knowledging the crime, having the fear of a
heavy fine being imposed in consequence,
he turned to the Judge, and said,
"Will your Honor allow me to ask your
Marshal one question:
81" Certainly, Captain" replied the Judge.
o"Mr. Marshal, will you pleas to state to
the Court, whether the person who made this
complaint was armed or not, when he came
on board of my vessel, accompanied by your
self?' 't
Yes, sir, he was," replied the Marshal.
81 handed him a revolver mylelf, which he
placed in his pocket" .5
:" Does your Honor think it is probable, -
replied the Captain, that man with six
bafrelled revolver in his pocket, would allow
another to spitin his face-pull his nose, and
kick him %, .r..f. liz ..
"No sir, noP' roared the Judge, fired
with indignation at such an exhibition Of
cowardice. "And if he did, sir, he most
richly deserved itl" Turning to the Cap
tain, and shaking him by the hund with cv-
ident cordiality, he replied, =" Captain, you
Are ,honorably acquitted of the charges which
have been most maliciously brought against
you, Good bye, sir, and may you have a
pleasant and prosperous voyage.'
sffAdieu thou most wise and righteous
Judge" exclaimed the Captain, as he left
the courtroom, extremely well satisfied with
the decision which had been made.

The right RaY to PloR.


This is a subject of the first importance TO
farmers, and one that is very often performed
wrong. My mode is this / use two poles
eight feet long, by laying of the lands
First strike one furrow across each end of
the field, two lengths of the poles, or sixteen
feet therefrom; this is the head land. Then
measure two lengths of the poles from each
side, and make mark this is for head lands
on the sides. Then measure two more
lengths, which brings the poles four lengths
from the sides; which is the centre of the
first land.
Now strike a furrow by the poleS-movc
them over four lengths, and this will be the
centre of the next land. Gee round, if your
plow throws, and plows what is termed back
borrowing. Thus the lands will be 80 feet,
which is wide enough. .......... ....
Keep plowing in this way until you get
within sixteen feet of the opposite side; then
you have a head land l6 feet wide all round
the field, which is to be plowed last. In
'powing swaziland it would be better 10
harrow and roll the main lands before plow-
ing the head lands.
The head land is 10 be plowed by throwing
it towards the main lands. Thus you can
have a field powcd without the track Of q
beast upon it. ......f .....
( The advantages this mode possesses over
the haw-round way are, First. You can
plow without tramping plowed land. Second
1t is easier for both team and teamstcr, the
former, by turning on the head land, have
unplowed land to turn on the latter instead
of lifting the plow around, can let the team
pull it around, as we do not plow around the
ends. Third. We can plow much faster, as
the team does not stop to turn, but keeps on
around Ohio Cultiuator.

And the foaming forest brooklet
Leaps down its rocky bed;

" Your Babies not NV Babiesp

AouI odOleS noC MY BABES -
A few years ago, there resided in one Of
our Eastern cities, certain Dr. r., who be
came very much enamored of a beautiful
young lady, who resided in The same place
In due course Of time they were engaged tc
be married The doctor was a strong and
decided Presbyterian, and his Iady-Iove was
as strong and decided Baptist. They were
sitting together one evening, talking of thcil
approaching nuptials, when the doctor re.
marked:
" | am thinking. my dear, of two events
which | shall number among the happicst
of my life"
And pray what may they be, Doctor?'
remarked the lady.
One is the hour when shall call you
my wife for the first time"
And the other, if you pleas?"
" 1t is when we shall present our frst-born
for baptism"
"What! sprinkIed ?"
"Ycs, my dear sprinkled."
"Ncrcr shall permit a child of mine to
be sprinkedp'
Every child OF mine shall be sprinkled" "
"They shall be, haH'
"Yes, my love"
"WelI, sir, can tell you that your babies
won't be my babies. So, good night, sir
The lady left the room and the doctor left
the house. The sequel to this true story
was, that the doctor never married, and the
lady is an old maid.
