TRIBUTE TO PRINrERs.-The Chaplain of
the New Hampshire Penitentiary, in review
ing the events of his life since his cornection
with that institution, pays the following com
pliment to journeymen printers:
have the happiness to number among my
friends many printers, but though It may
seem to imply either q lack Of ability on the
part Of the DstntSter, or the want Of the quail
tiles that are necessary in order to appreciate
good preaching on the other part, yet will
reveal the fact that have never succeeded
well with that class. For the nine long years,
and with all the inducements offered, not one
Of that trade has connected himself with my
congre gation-and do not think a man could
be found, of all who ever tenanted our prison,
who could set up column Of type. I leave
the reader to make his own comments, only
remarking, that this cannot be accidental,
nor can the explanation be that the employ
ment keeps them ignorant Of the prevailing
vices and immoralities, nor yet that young
printers are removed from the large masses
where corruptioDs engender and spread In
all these respects this class are much exposed.
1t is evident, we think, that the employment
has an elevating tendency, and is favorable to
intellectual and moral improvement.

The Wild Man Again.

A correspondent Of the Caddo Gazette, wri-
ting under date Of the 18th ult., from Para.
lifta, Arkansas, on Upper Red River, states
that the cold during the present winter ha,
been in that region the severest within the
memory of man. The rivers were frozen solid,
the plains pre- sented an unbroken sheet OF
snow. The writer relates the following story
OF an attempt to capture the famous wild man,
who has been so often encountered on the bor-
ders Of Arkansas and Northern Louisiana:
In my travels L met party from your
country in pursuit of a wild man. They had
struck his trail at a cane brake bordering on
Brant Lake and the Sun-Flower Prairie.
learned from one of the party that the dogs
run him TO an arm of the lake which was
frozen, but not sufficiently strong TO bear his
weight, which consequently gave way. he
had, however, crossed, and the dogs were at
fault
lone of the party, mounted on feet horse.
coming up, encouraged the dogs to pursue,
but found it impossible TO cross with his horse,
and concluded to follow the lake round until
he could ascertain the direction taken by this
monster of the forest. On reaching the oppo-
site side of the bend, he was surprised TO see
something in the lake like a man breaking
the Ice with his arms, and hastened under
cover OF the underground, 10 the spot where
he expected him TO come out. He concealed
himself near the place, when he bad full
View of him, until he reached the shore,
where be came out and shook himself He
represents him as stout, athletic man, about
SIX feet four inches in height, completely COW
cred with hair Of a brownish cast about four
to six inches long. He was we'll muscled and
ran up the bank with the feetness of a deer.
He says he could have killed hi m with his
gun, but the object Of the party being to take
him alive, and hearing the horns of his COM
rades and the bowling of the dogs on the op-
posite bank of the lake, he concluded to ride
up and head him, so as to bring him to bay
a1d then secure their prize. So soon, however,
as the wild man saw the horse and rider he
rushed frantically towards them, and In an
instant dragged the hunter to the ground and
tore him in a most dreadful manner, scratch
ing out one of his eyes and injuring the other
so much that his comrades despair Of the re-
covery Of his sight, and biting large pieces out
of his shoulders and various parts of hi, body.
The monster then tore of the saddle and
bride from the horse and destroyed them, and
holding the horse by the name, broke a short
piece of sapling, and mounting the animal,
started at full speed across the plains in the
direction of the mountains, guiding the horse
with his club. The person left with the
wounded man informed me that the party
was still in pursuit, having been Joined by a
band of friendly Indians, and thought that if
they could find place in the mountains not
covered with snow, or a canebrake in the
vicinity to feed their horses, they might over
take him in day or two."

CorroN SUPERSEDED BY SILK-The Paris

Corroy SUPERSEDED BY SILK.-The Paris
correspondent Of the London Atlas says:
" We hail with delight the announcement
that savant has just made so valuable dis
covery in the art Of preparing silk, that this
article will become cheaper and more common
than cotton. This savant, It appears, one day
having nothing else to do, began 70 taiak
which is wonderful for savant, says Alphonse
karr-that there was but one cresture capa-
bic of producing silk-that there was but one
description of vegetable matter, that of the
mulberry tree, fitted for that creatures food,
therefore the silky substance must not lie in
the animal, but in the vegetable matter so
at once the savant set about apalyzins the
composition Of the mulberry leaf, and by
boiling it to thick paste has produced every
description Of silk in immense quantities. L
have seen several yards Of manufscture, and
although wanting little Of the gloss belong
ing to that spun by the worm, can pronounce
1t as superior to the finest foUfara hitherto
made. The price Of the silk is FIVE francs a
pound when spun, being one hundred and
twenty francs cheaper than that of the pres
ent day. This new method Of procuring silk
will at once be adopted in all countries, as the
mulberry can be grown in any country, and
requires scarcely any culture. The cultiya-
ton of this new branch of industry will DO
away entirely with that Of cotton, so that
slavery will have a natural cause of abandon
ment in the United States, little anticipated at
the beginning of the century"

MONEY FOR SOMEBODY Mr. q. I. Unangst,
one of the supervisors Of the Morris Canal,
states that In August last a boatman applied
at Little Falls, in order to recover pocket
book containing Sl02 so, which he had lost
in the water. Doubling the statement and
probability Of finding it, the request was not
complied with, and since then the boatman
has not been seen, Recently, however, while
the water was out, the pocket-book was found,
with the money safe, consisting of Slo0 bill
on the Mechanics and Manufacturers Bank
of Trenton, a So bill on the Union Bank, of
Dover, and so cent piece. The boatman s
supposed to belong to Easton, Pa.
