Wild Horses and Militarv Mus;c

Mr. EDITOR 1t sometimes happen.
IN this goodly town of Lewisburg, that
we have military companies marching
through the streets, with the music of the
fife and drum. This is very pleasant, no
doubt, to the citizens, to the soldiers them
selves, and more especially to the Juvenile
population, who, fortunately for the future
hopes Of our country, are somewhat hume.
rous in this enlightened metropolis. Blu.
when Market street is crowded with wild
spirited horses, attached to buggies and
other vehicles, would it not be well for the
military array to take some other route.
and thus avoid the danger of starting half
dozen horses into regular runaway,
which might result not only in the destruc
ton of property, but in the destruction of
human life,
Would any sensible person have one
little child run over, and badly burt. for
all the benefit which military parades will
confer upon the country, during these pi-
ping times Of peace? l reckon not.

THE SrARs.-The unusual spectacle is
now presented of all the visible Planets
being above the horizon carly IN the night;
and they are SO distributed as to mark the
line of the Ecliptic, or the plane Of their
own and the Earth's orbits, with distiuc-
ness. With Venus in the West, said to
be more brilliant at present than at any
time within the last ten years, and Jupi-
ter with his usual splendor in the East,
with the "letter lights" Mars and Sa-
turn between them, the arrangement OF
the planetary orbs affords an interesting
view to all who take pleasure in such con-
temptations. Mars now appears much re.
duced in size and brilliaucy, on accoun,
Of the relative position of himself and the
Earth in their respective orbits, but still
retains his ruddy glow. The pale whit'
light Of Saturn makes him appear like
star of the second magnitude. These,witl
the fine consultations of the Scorpion, Ly
ra, and the Greater Bear, all visible a
present, make the contemplation of tn
starry heavens interesting and instruc
tive.-Richmond Enquire

Sub 5-Warine Telegraph.

y London paper OF the 9Th nit contains
a particular description of the successful
laying down of the telegraph wire, coated
with gutta pcrcha and enclosed in coil
Of guaranteed iron wire, on the Howth
and Holyhcad line of electric telegraph,
by which the line Of telegraphic commu-
nication is completed from London to
Dublin. This line of sub marine wire is
eighty miles in length, and strange as it
may seem, it was laid down in single
day. The whole work was executed with
an expedition that is remarkable. Mr..
Statham, conductor Of the gutta percha
works, was asked if he could supply
eighty miles of telegraph wire, doubly
covered with gutta percha, within a fort
night He replied, "Tll try" and ac-
cordingly made the attempt, which he
completed in twelve days, proceeding with
the latter part at the rate of twelve miles
a day. The coated wire was then sent to
Gatcshead-on-Tyne, to be surrounded with
twelve galvanized iron wires twisted spi-
rally around it. 1t was then sent to liol-
yhead where the Admiralty employed
Capt. Bccchy, Of the Navy, and the Gov
ernment steamer Prospcro, under the
command of Lieut.. Aldrich, to aid in lay
Ing it down.
The enorm ,us cable, eighty miles in
length, in continuous piece, AMI weighing
ton mile, was wound up into immens:
coils, placed on trucks one after the other,
and drawn by steam from New Casile-ou-
Tyne to White Haven, where i, had been
Intended to put them on board the Brit
annia steamer; but it being found that
the entrance to the dock was too narrow
for that vessel, they were again placed
on trucks and conveyed to Maryport,
where they were embarked for Holy head.
Some difficulties were encountered before
the preparations were in train for laying
down the wire, but these were overcome
BY the resources of Mr. Statham, who had
accomplished the Dover and Calais juno
ton. Early On the morning of the Is;
ult. the Brit,aula, towed by the Prospero,
began Payiity out the cable, which sank
by its own weight to the bottom Of the
sea from Holy head TO Howth. Occasional
difficulties occurred, which were overcome
by the care Of the operators, and progress
was made of from four to six miles an
hour, and the whole Was completed in
sixteen hours, the BritIania anchoring in
the harbor of uowth before S o'clock the
same evening. Some difficulties were eI-
countcred in connecting the line on shore
with the Dublin line, but the fact of arri-
val at Howth was communicated TO Dublin
the same evening. BY , O'Clock On the
morning of the I'D, all difficulties were
overcome, and the communication between
Holyhead and Dublin was tested by re-
peated trials.-DaiIy -Adv.

A pretty good joke is told of a brace of
mice young men" who, upon the occa.
sion OF recent railroad excursion, RETURN
ing late at night, were resolved to set at
naught the very wholesome regulation,
existing IN Railway companies, against
the practice of smoking in the cars. Re-
turning to. the rear car, otherwise empty,
they boldly lit their prime Havanas,"
and pulled away with much gusto, the
more 50, that the indulgence was known
70 be illieit. Before long, they preceived
the conductor making towards them from
forward car, and took refuge in the
- saloon" there smoking and chucklinc
inmensely ly over their successful elusion of
his vigilance. At last, when the topics
of the night were exhausted, and their
cigars nearly consumed, one remarked to
the other that "the train made a con-
founded long stop at this station" where
upon his companions. carefully emerging
from their retreat, discovered that their
ear had been quietly backed into house
used for that purpose, at a station distant
some four miles from home, their seclusion
having prevented their hearing the notice
to that intent given by the conductor. A
decidedly unsatisfactory pedestrian feat,
through deep snow, was the laborious
result of their exceedingly ingenious al
tempt at smoking in the ears.

TUT tte thronlcle-
Mr.. EDITOR: have been told that
there are certain animals in this town
which wear clothes, make articulats sounds.
and are actually taken for human beings.
and yet their conduct would show tba.
they are about half ape and half devil.
One Of their fantastic tricks" is to On
INTO the churches, and scribble trash on
the blank leaves and margins of hymn
DOCKS that chance to be left in the pews.
1t may be that the animal is prompted to
this annoying conduct, by the vanity of
showing that 1t can write. This is GER
talniy much more excusable in a mon
key than it would be in a man: but still
as 1t lie destructive of property, l shall do
all can to prevent it, and if | find any
OF these earmints" about my quarter of
the " meetin' house." meddling with the
hymn-books, shall ask the sexton to car.
ry them out with a pair of tongs.

HoBsoS's CHoICE.-The expression of
" "Hobson's choice" is proverbial both in
Europe and America. The story Of its
origin is ss follows:
Thomas Hobson was celebrated farrier
at Cambria e, England, who, to his en-
ployment in that capacity, added the pro-
fcssion of supplying the students with
horses. In doing this, he made it an IN.
alterable rule that every horse should have
an equal portion Of time in which to rest
as well as labor; and he always refused tc
le: horse out of his turn. Hence the
saying, Ho1sou's choice; this OF none.
We see it stated that the Unitriaus O
San Francisco have agreed to invite Rev
Mr.. Harrington (what Mr.. H., whether o
Lawrence or elsewhere, is not mentioned,
to preach for them one year a, $4,000, anO
have raised $1,000 to pay his expenses cut
with Al agreement to pay lis way back
