The Deacon and the Irishman,

few m pnths ago; as Deacon ingalls,, of
Swampscott Rhode Island, was travelling
through the western part of the State of New
York, he fell in with an Iriskman who had late.
y arrived in this country, and who was in
quest of u brother tnat came on before him and
settled in some OF the diggins in that vicinity.
Pat was strong, athletic man, a true Catho.
he, aud had never seen the interior of Pro-
teetant Church 1t was a pleasant Sabbath
morning, that brother Ingalls, met Pat, who in
qured the way 10 the nearest church. "H
Ingalls, was a good pious man. He told Pat
he was going Ito church himself, and invited
his new made acquaintance to keep him con.
pany tIHther. his place OF destination being n
small meeting house near by. There was
great revival there at that time, and one of the
deacons (who, by the way, was very small in
stature,) invited brother Ingalls, to take a seat
IN his pew. lie accepted the invitation, and
walked IN, followed by Pat, who looked in vain
to find the alter, etc. After he was seated. he
turned to brother Ingalls,, and in whisper.
which could be heard all roundt inquired: -
A." Sure, isn't this hirItlc church z"
Hush" said Ingalls,. "It you speak loud
word, they will put you out"
"Divil word will | speak, at all, at all,'
replied Pat. l+." ;""'
The meeting WAS opened with prayer by the
pastor Pat Was eyelng tm very closely, when
an old gentleman who was standing in the pew
directly in front of Pat, shouted 'Glory |"
"His-t-t, We clear divil," rejoined Pat, with
his loud whisper, which was clearly heard by
the minister, "be decent and don't make
backgusrd Of yoursely" >4ust
The parson grew more and more fervent in
his devOtions. Presently the deacon uttered
an andlble groan.
"Hls-t-t, YOU blackguard, have you no decen.

mentgiEing the deacon a punch in theyribs
which caused him nearly to lose his equilibri-

The minister stopped, and extending his
hand in supplicating manner, said :o,j - .t
"Bretheren, we can not be disturbed in this
manner. Will some one put that man out"
"Yes, your reverence" shouted Pat, al win"
and suiting the action to the word, he collared
the deacon and to the utter horror aud aston.

Mail Robbery.

The mail which left here on Wednesday
morning last, arrived at Marion at two O'Clock
at night. The mail bags were put into the
post Office, but the driver left the Cedar Rap
ids bag in the stage. In the morning he drove
off Tor Iowa City without seeming to know
anything of it. On Friday morning the bag
was found, cut in two, and the contents rifed.
A quantity of letter wrappers was with the
Gag. and some three thousand dollars worth of
Land Warrants, mailed here on Tuesday BY
Jessup Co., for Green & Weare, of Cedar
Rapids. The riaed bags and the scraps of en-
velopes were taken to Cedar Rapids by the
Post Master of Marion, who brought them to
this city on Saturday morning. Mr.. Cookery
Immediately telegraphed to various points for
special police to investigate the .,obbery.
Among other valuable letters known to be
lost, is package of $4,000 in Bank notes,
which came here by express, and were mailed
here by the Express Agent for Greene &
Weare. A person against whom strong sus-
picions exist, has been arrested at Marion. and

The DUTIES OF RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
Judge Potts, in charge to the Grand Jury
of Burlington county, New Jersey, last
week, said:
eff he whose duty it is to ring the bell or
blow the whistle, as the law requires, upon ap-
preaching crossing, and until the engine has
passed the crossing, neglects to do 50, and IN
consequence Of the neglect Of that duty death
ensue, he is liable to be indicted for man
slaughter. So, if the loss of life had been in
consequence of the cuIpable negligence or care
lessness of any employee charged wah any
particular duty on the train-that is, if by
culpably neglecting to do specific duty as
signed him, or by negligence or carelessness in
the manner of doing it, he is found to have
occasioned the mischief-he ought to be in
like manner indicted

PEcUnIARY PROFITS OF AuTHoRslP IN THE
UNITED STArEs.-A statement of the in
comes of successful authors in this country
from the sales of their books correctly re-
turned, would form an interesting chapter
of literary statistics Referring to this sub.
ject, the American Publishers Circular says:
I'VE were casually informed by Boston
publisher MIR. Little, of Little, Brown &
Co. that their house could show receipts
for money paid for copyrights, to the
amount Of half million of dollars, Of
which one hundred thousand was paid to q
single family, which still retains the copy
rights. Many other publishing houses can
quote similar documents, and they would
be of considerable interest to those who
have contended that genius, with us, is left
to struggle and languish without recon-
pense."

Tree MUsIC.--We have been all our life

Tree MUsIC.--We have been all our life
aware of the truth which we find expressed
for the first time, as follows: -
"Nice observers of nature have remarked
the variety of tones yielded by trees when play
ed upon by the wind. Mrs. Hemans once ask
ed Sir Walter Scott ifhe bad not noticed that
every tree gives out its peculiar sound? Yes
said he, Il have andI think something might
be done by the union of poetry and music, to
initiate those voices; giving different measure
to the oak, the pine, the willow, etc. There is
a Highland air Of somewhat similar character,
called the Notes of the Sea-birds.' Ia Henry
TaylOrs drama, Edwin the Fair there are
some pleasing lines, where the wind is feigned
to feel the want of q voice, aud to- WOO the
trees to give him one. He applied to several;
but the wanderer rested with the pine, because
her voice was constant, soft, and lowly deep
and he welcomed in her mild memorial of the
ocean cave, his birthplace. There is fine
description of the storm in 'Coningsby,' where
a sylvan language is made to swell the diapson
of the tempest. The wind howled the branch
es of the forrest stirred, aud sent forth sounds
like an incarnation. Soon might be distin-
guished the various voices of the mighty trees,
as they expressed their terror or their agony.
The oak reared, the beech shrieked, the elm
sent forth its long, deep groan, while ever and
anon, amid, O momentary pause, the passion of
the ash was heard in means of thrilling an
guish."

HERoIsM OF DoG,-The following ac-
count of the exploits of dog in the Cri-
mea surpasses everything heretofore record
ed Of the devotion and bravery of this no.
BILE animal
A great sensation has been caused in the
camp of the allies of the heroic deeds of dog
belonging to Col Metmannn, of the 73d Regi-
ment of the Lipe. On the 10th of August,
during the battle of the Tchernaya, the quad
ruped broke his chain, fought in the ranks of
the army, saved the life of seargent and a
soldier, and took three Russians prisoners. A
ball struck his foot but the ball only embit-
tered the animal the more. He threw him
self upon Russian officer, flung him to the
ground, and dragged him prisoner by the coat
collar to the French. A physician has bound
up the wound and the four-footed hero is con-
valescing. He will probably receive some rank
of honor, as another dog in the English Army
hos been rewarded with medal for his devo-
ton to his master.
