I A CuRIosrY.-We saw on Wednesday, with q
great deal Of wonder, at the store Of Mr. w. +.
Cannon q couple of bottles, each Of which would
hold over quart, and in one Of which wasa saw
mill in operation, and the other -four mill, alau
in operation. Both mills were mooved BY crank
in the neck Of each bottle. The bottles and ma
chinery are in possession Of Mr.. a.. II. Backing.
ham, who is in the employ of Mr.. Cannon. MI.
B. says the machinery was built within their COW
ering about IS years ago, by person then a res.
dent of New York State, but now deceased. He
did it on wager of 81, 900, which he won in less
than three years, which was the time allowed fol
the work. II has been suggested that the glass
must have been blown over the machinery; but il
is also said that such thing would be impossible
with such kind Of bottles. They are filed full
with the machinery, which is braced and pinned
and otherwise made strong. There are cog wheels
The neck of each bottle is filed with plug
which is keyed close up to the neck. The mystery
of getting the key in, when there is hardly room
between the plug and the neck of the bottle t.

as any other wonder about the ingenious affair."

DYING FROM EMorIoN.-The father Of
Tuckerman, the Boston defauter, was well
known as a genial man, with smile and a
pleasant word for every one. Since the news
Of his sons swindling transaction was made
known, all joyful expression left his face, and
his stold features, his eyes fixed on vacancy,
and his ghaslly, paid color, all showed that
deep grief had taken possession of him. Some
ten days since, without any marked cause, he
died from shamc-the victim of his son. There
may have been no rupture Of the cardiac organ,
but the world recognizes it as broken heart.
If the son is unmoved by the thoughts of the
orphans and widows he has wrong-d, will he
be touched by the parrcidal results Of his wilfu
wrong doing
The death of Mr.. Dellicker, we'll known
merchant, who resides in Brooklyn, occurred
on Monday, under very peculiar circumstances
He was in perfect good health, and had just re-
turned from the country where he had left his
wife, who was recovering from recent illness.
He had but reached home when a telegraphc
message was brought to him announcing his
wfe's death. He sank into chair on reading
the sad news, said he felt veryill, and request
ed physician should he sent for, and died i'm
medately. The influence of the body over
the mind is mysterious, and it's effects are STAR
Ting. The above instances are not unusual,
but none the less noteworthy.--N. Y Times.

of running our head against an evil, which if we
did, would only result in injury to ourselves
We have this week received letter from an un-
known gentleman in Columbus, Ga., who asks
more than any one ever did. He wished us to
expose a certain Methodist preacher, (catch US
having row with preacher,) who, according
to his account, tells his congregation on Sunday
to treat your servant as your brother for such

castigate them because he likes to do so. In

The Love Lcrn LOafer.

Few persons who have gone through Broadway
for year or more past, without meeting small,
dirty, pitiable looking object, with long dishevel
led locks, and face covered with filth, begrmed
hair, but always with a cigar in his mouth. His
name is Edward Carter, and some twelve or thir-
teen years ago he was as clean and spruce looking
a man as you would desire to meet. lie is by
trade carver, and an excellent workman-pos-
sessing, indeed, more than ordinary talent At
that time Mary Taylor was in the zenith of her
popularity, and he became deeply enamored of
her.
lie followed the lady like shadow, and was
frequently so very annoying that her friends were
compelled to give him into custody. On one oc-
casion, we believe, eforced himself into her car
rage as she entered to return home from the thea
ter. For years, however, despite repulses, he
nursed his passion with delusivc hopes, until at
length it overturned his reason; he ceased to work.
and became the repulsive personwe have described.
A few days since he was arrested as a vngabond,
and being clearly in that category, wns sent to
Blackwell's island for six months.-N Y. Sun

IScIDENr.-A few months since, a lady belong
ing to this city went to New York, and put up at
the nsh sbe ook
and watch, laid them on the table, and then sat
down to read. While she was engaged in read
ing, she thought she heard breathing from some
one apparently near by, but finally concluded il
must be Imagination. Soon after she commenced
making preparations to retire, and in adjusting
her hair she dropped one of her hair pins. While
STOPPING to pick it up she discovered a hat under
the bed, and close sight revealed to her the full
length figure of a man. Without evncing any
emotion, she quickly threw a shawl over hei
shoulders, went out of the room, locking the door
after her. and stepping into the hall she rang the
bell, which summoned to her assistance the pro-
prietors, who called in the services of police Of
fcer, and the intruder was arrested. There was
found on the prisoner bottle Of chloroform.-
He was convicted on the testimony of the lady
and sent to the State prison for six months. The
sequel to the whole was in the dropping of the
hair pin.--Nep Haven Journal.

An interesting incident is related Of Dan Rice,
the celebrated CIRCUS performer in a late number
of the Reading Gassite.o 1t appears that some
fourteen years ago Dan left Reading with an ex-
hibtion of some sort, which turned out badly,
and inverted the proprietor in difficulty, Judge
Heidonreich, OF Berks county, found Rice in this
condition, gave him a suit of clothes and lent
him horse and wagon, in order that he might
pursue his business. Dan was still uncuccessful,
and restitution soon overlook him again; while to
add to his distress, his wife was taken sick. In
this dilemma he was forced to sell the horse and
wagon, which the Judge had only loaned him, in
order to raise means to take his wife home to
Pittsburgh. Not long after this he obtained q
situation in of the theatres Of this city where
the Judge saw and recognized him, and in the
morning called at his lodgings. Dan was still
poor and needy, and fully expected reprOaches,
If nothing worse, from his old patron, but in.
stead of these the Judge insisted on his, going
the second time to the tailor's and being fit
ted out at his expense. To this, however, Dan
would not consent, and they parted, never to
meet again until one day last week, when his
company was performing at Reading, and the
Judge came to attend court. Dams first duty was
to hunt his old friend and invite him to take a
short ride about town, to which he consented,
and a horse and vehicle were soon at the door.
Dams equipage like that of his profession gen.
orally, seemed pretty stylish turnout 1t con-
sisted of a bran new carriage Of elegant make, a
cream colored Arabian pony, and a spick and
span new set of glistening harness. The drive
was taken and enjoyed, and time flew swiftly by,
as the two friends talked and laughed over the
half-forgotten events of old times. Dan drove
the Judge back to his lodgings, stepped out upon
the pavement, and before the Judge had time to
rise from his seat, handed him the rcns and whip,
with graceful bow, and said: s'These are yours,
Judge-the old horse and wagon restored with
interest-take them, with Dan Rice's warmest
gratitude % The Judge was stricken dumb with
amazement for few moments, but soon recover
ed his self possesson and began to demonstrate.
But Dan was inexorable--he closed his lips firm
ly, shook his head, waved a polite adieu to his
old friend in the carriage walked of to his hotel,
and left the Judge to drive the handsome equip
age, now really his own, to the stable. An hon
est man, and man of honor, is Dan Rice, the

upon his martial bearing, his hale old age, his
military pantaloons, &c. The painter was annov-

ton. As the train passed under the tunnel of
St. Cloud the three travellers were wrapped in
complete darkness. Vernot raised the back of
his hand to his mouth and kissed it violently,
twice. On emerging from the obscurity. he found
the ladies had withdrawn their attention from
him, and were accusing each other of having
been kissed by man in the dark. As they ar
