A Good "Take Off, on Clay.

Early yesterday forenoon small crowd
at the Bramble House corner were gather
ed around plain looking countryman,
who was reading from a small hand-bill OF
circular, containing in substance the letter
of 81. D. d." as published in the Journal,
few DAYS since. The letter, as our read
ers will remember, is addressed to James
B. Clay, the degenerate son of a noble
Sire" who now fraterlizes with the hounds
who pursued his illustrious father to the
threshold of the grave. As the country
man was reading, Mr.. Clay, who was stop
ping at the Bramble, hearing his name
spoken, approached the crowd, and inter
rupting the reader, inquired what it was.
"Why," said the countryman, (who of
course had no idea that he was in the pres
ence of the distinguished gentlemen him.

BE CAREFUL WITH THE GUANo.-It may
not be so generally known as it should be
that great danger may be incurred by the
reckless handling of guano. We under
stand that cases have occurred of persons
having cuts upon their fingers who, in
handling this manure, have received a
deadly poison into the system. The guano
contains an organic element which is just
as certain to operate against life if it once
reaches the blood, as the corruption of a
body that gets into wound upon the per-
son of the dissector Farmers should be
aware of this fact and be cautious. We
hear of a death from this cause occurring
within few days in neighboring county.

They tell a good clerical anecdote of an &C.
centric clergyman in Massachusetts, which may
not be without influence in places where they
do not think enough of the Supreme to keep His
House of Worship in repair:
"a neighboring minister, with whom he was
about to exchange, said to him, knowing, as he
did, the peculiar bluntness Of his character:
"'You will find some pains of glass broken in
in the pulpit window, and possibly you may suf-
fer from the cold. The cushion, too, is in bad
condition but beg of you not to say anything
to my people on the subect-they are poor, and
can't help it,
ooh no! oh no! was the reply.
sBut before the minister left home he filled a
bag with rags, and took it with him. When he
had been in the pulpit short time, feeling
somewhat incommoded by the too free circula-
ton of air, he deliberately took from the bag. a
handful or two of rags, and stuffed them into the
window. Toward the close of his discourse,
which was more or less upon the duties OF peo-
pie toward their clergyman, he became animated.
and purposely brought down both fists with tre-
mendous force upon the pulpit cushion.
''The feathers flew in all directions. He in
stantly checked the current of his thoughts, and
simply exclaiming why, how these feathers fly !
proceeded with his sermon.
''His end was accomplished. Tie had fulfilled
his promise of not addressing the society on the
the subject, but he had taught them lesson
which was not be misunderstood. They took
the hint: for on the next Sabbath the window
and the cushion were found in excellent repair,
much to the surprise of the resident preacher"

Climbing a Creased Pole.

During the holding of the Berkshire County
Fair, at Pittsfeld, Massachusetts,, last week, the
occasion was enlivened by some Of the good old
English sports, such as foot-races, wrestling DC.
The Springfield Republican says that which at
tracted the greatest crowd was the climbing of
a CREASED pole. This athletic drollery is time
hOnored amusement at fairs in some parts Of
England and at the festivals of the wine harvest,
in the south of France. We are not aware that
| it has ever been practiced in this country, and
as perhaps this is the introduction Of q novelty,
that will soon prevail at our farmers festivals,
we may be excused in giving some account OF
| it. On grassy slope Of the field, pine pole
had been raised, about sixty feet high, and as
straight and smooth as Hiawatha's arrow. The
bark had been stripped from it and all its rough
nesses carefully taken away. The first fifteen
feet retained its natural smooth surface, but be-
yond that it had been smeared with q thin coat
of grease. About thirty feet from the ground,
the alluring prizes of silver dollars hung tied to
the pole with slender ribbon. Early in the
morning crowd of spectators gathered around
the pole, and numbers Of carriages, filled with
ladies, stood aioof, and from these bursts of
laughter announced the failure of the many poor
fellows who struggled in vain for the prizes
Many and many an aspiring youth, cheered on
NY LIS COuiIhuSS, SuOb w ehS hios s"ShSy iSSe
with an agility that threatened the gttering
prizes; but alas, when he arrived at the treach-
erous grease, his hands and feet slipped, his
strength gave out and casting despairing look
up at the shining dollars, he slipped like spent
rocket, to the ground Several dollars were
won, however, then silver watch, said to be
worth SIG, was tied to the pole-a prize that
would repay the greatest efforts. Scores tried
in vain N win this One cunning chan put sand
in his pocket, and holding on with one hand ap-
piled it with the other, but before he could take
advantage of his craft, strength failed, and he
fell like q Lucifer never to rise again. AT last
little German boy of Pontoosuc, named Weyd-
man. stepped forward and climbed up like
besr-cub. When within five feet of the watch,
he looked at it steadily moment, and giving
three leaps, in which he seemed to loose his hold
of the pole entirely, he clutched the prize and
slid back, amid tumultuous applause. 1t was
found that his hands were rosined, but as this
was deemed fair play, he was allowed to keep
the watch, and won another in the same way.

Burning ont q Well.

An Alabama correspondent tells US how his
friend Bill astonished New York "Dry Goods
Drummer" lately in those diggings:
Bill and the Drummer were riding along, and
stopped to get some water at newly-located
farm in the lower part of Benton county. The
farmer had set fire to an old pine stump near
the front door, aud at the time our travellers
stopped, the fire was in the sap root, some two
feet below the surface, all the wood above the
ground having been consumed. The smoke is
sued from large hole in the ground, attracted
the attention of the Drummer, and turning to
Bill, he asked the meaning of it.
"Why," says William, "my friend Thompson,
here, is burning out WELL"
Burning out well! What do you mean :"
"Just what say" rejoined Bill; she is burn
ing out well-have you ever seen it doneT
"Never,-nor did ever hear of such thing
I would like to have it explained"
eNothing simpler" says Bill "Throughout
this section of the country the soil is strongly
mpregnated with highly infammable salts, and
all we have to do when we'll is needed, is to
dig hole foot deep and four feet square at
the top; wet the ground around the surface to
keep the fire from spreading fill the hole with
pne-knots, set fire to the knots, and in weeks
time you have first rate we'll"
"Do tell !" exclaimed the wondering Gotha-
mite.
"Yes," said Bill, warming with the subject,
''the fire burns straight down, just the size of
the hole at the top it burns slowly, and thus
bakes the sides as hard as brick, and continues
to burn until it reaches water, when, of course,
| it ceases to burn"
"But," says the Drummer, II should think
the mass of ashes and cinders would extinguish
the fire long before the water is reached"
"a very natural conclusion" replied Bill /;
but this is the strangest Of the whole process,
there are no ashes I am not chemist enough to
explain it, but Professor Brumby, of the Univer-
sity, attributes it to the volatile principle con-
tained in the infammable salts. / wish could
explain it; but this much do know, that out of
at least one hundred wells of the same sort in
Benton County, have never seen in all, a bushel
of ashes"
!. 9You don't say so !" exclaimed the astonished
sssolicitor," as he pulled out his pencil and me-
morandum book, and "writ it down"
