ANEcDnTEs OF LORD NoRrH.-This good
humored minister was always ready with a joke
and always appreciated one, even though it was
at his expense. One night he rose to deprccate
the too great readiness to give and take offence
which prevailed in the house. One member for
example, said he, called me that thing called a
minister Now to be sure (patting his portly
sides) am q thing: when therefore, the gentle.
man called Inc thing he said what was true,
and | could not be angry with him. But when
he added, that thing called minister, he called
ME the thing which Of all others he himself most
wishes to be; and, therefore, l took it for com.
pliment." pressing old sailor, we'll known for
his lengthy orations, began to speak on an ad.
miralty question. Lord North said to one of
bis supporters, Now-will give US history
fall the naval battles, from that of Salamis to
that VI last year. I shall take q nap; wake me
when he gets near our own time. After an
hours infliction the friend nudged Lord North.
My lord; my lord, wake up-he has got to the
battle of Van Tronp." "Oh dear, "said the
sleepy minister, you've walked me hundred
gears too soon On bis last night in Office his
antagonist, had collected for a grand battle;
Lord North rose in his place, and declared the
administration at amend. Ofcourse, the House
adjourned Immediately. 1t was an awful wet
night. and in those days cabs were not; the
members expecting long debate, had ordered
their carriages at one or two o'clock in the NOR
ming; and Lord North as he passed through the
baf1ed and imprisoned crowd Of his opponents
to his own chariot, bowed to the right and left
saying with smile, Adieu, gentlemen; you see
it is an excellent thing to be in the secret.

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF PETRIFAcrIoN.-
Mr. J. p. Soy, residing near Germantown, Ohb,
recently disintered the remains Of his wife, his
grandchild, and other members Of his family,
buried on his farm, in order to inter them in the
Germantown Cemetery, and found that their
bodies were all more or less petri6ed. The wife
had been buried twenty-iour years, but the body
was in an excellent state Of preservation. Upon
a close examination, it was found that the re-
mains would not give way under the pressure Of
a piece of board which one of the gentlemen
placed upon the corpse: and this strange cir
cumstance led to still further investigation. The
shroud, and indeed, all the covering which was
upon the body at the time of interment, twenty
four years ago, had disappeared a vestige
of them remaining. The body was perfect ex.
cept the right leg, from the knee to the ankle
joint, where the flesh seemed to have wasted
away, and lay at the bottom Of the coffin in
substance resembling sand. With this excep.
ton of decay, the body and limbs exhibited the
same perfectness of exterior they did when lie
and animation were in the body. The body,
indeed, had been petri6ed! 1t was by some
strange quality in the earth and other causes,
turned into stone of a drab, or more properly
speaking, flesh color; and the chisel Of the ar
tst might initiate but could not make so close "a
resemblance to the human form divine.

PAY For Your PApER-The Augusta Chroni.
Gle and Sentinel thus discourses to his brethren
on the cash principle:
"That the credit system is the great and really
only barrier to the prosperity and success Of the
press in the Southern States no one at all fam
iliar with its history will pretend to controvert.
And while the entire fraternity admit this truth
in all its force it is equally true that they alone
are to blame for its existence They have it in
their power to correct the evil, and it is equally
due to themselves and those who pay. promptly
for their papers, that the remedy should be
applied. Let the proprietors then act promptly
and unite i'll firm resolve not to send thc pa
per to any man, however responsible, who does
not pay in advance. Such policy rigidly en-
forced would result most happily, and contribute
more to render the press ofthe country indepen-
dent in its action than anything that can be
done. 1t is true that it might subject us tenn
porariy to the loss of few subscribers, possibly
n goodly number; but that would be nothing
compared with the loss now sustained in the
shape of interest, the expenses of collecting
agents and last and greatest, that large class
who do not pay.

Dox'r KILL TIE .BIRDs.-As spring advan.
ces, our youthful Nimrods feel the influence
strong upon them to pop away their old fowling
pieces at the birds. Not that they want them
for food-not that they do not relish their songs
but simply to crafty their innate propensity to
destruction that marks our Yankee youth.
But we beg the boys to refrain. The little birds
are becoming alarlningly scarce in the vicinity
Of Hartford We say alarmingly-for the armies
of the palmer worm, caterpillar, aud canker worm
are alarmingly on the increase. The little birds
are the farmers. best friend. They destroy tho
bugs and the worms that infest his crops and
his orchards. The backbirds may occasionally
root up a few hills of corn, but lie daily gathers
more destructive insects as he travels over
the newly ploughe4 fields, than all the corn 3
worth Which hc destroys ten times over. The
robin may take few Of your spare cherries, but
he is only taking pay for the worms he swal,
lows. which would have made your garden a
desoate waste. The farmers canLot do without
the little birds. They are bis best friends. We
have no doubt that the late ravages Of various
insects are owing to the wholesale destruction
of their enemies the birds.
So important is this subject considered by
Agriculturists, that Secretary Of the Board Of
Agriculture in Massachusetts, Mr.. Flint, has
issued circular urging upon farmers and others
the execution Of the stringent law there is in
that State against killing such birds. We have
a similar law in this State, aud we trust our
farmers will see risidly to the prosecution Of all
breakers Oft. Their coming crop will reap the
benefit ofsparing the little hirds,-Haryord
