A Company for the purpos. of supplying St.
Paul with pure, fresh water was chartered at
the late session of the Legislature. The Com
pany is composed of responsible men, who are
prepared to proceed with the necessary works
as soon as the preliminary business can be con-
cluded.
The books for subscription to the capital
stock Of the Company will be opened forth
with after the return from the East of one of
the corporators, who is now absent upon bust
ness connected with the organization Of the
Company.
1t is contemplated to conduct into the city
the water of one of the larges, lakes which are
situated but short distance north of the COR
poration line. Preliminary examinations OF
the topography of the locality between the city
and these lakes have already been made, and
have resulted in practical opinions highly favor

The Utter Failure Of MIR. Barnum.

The Democratic Press says, that at Il recent ex-
animation in the Supreme Court of New York,
Mr.. Barnum stated that in June last he had prop
ertv in his hands of the value of $500 700, against
which there were liabilities of %3U0, 000--leaving
him worth $500,00O. His surety for the Jerome
Clock Company was originally only 100000, but
having given them his name in blank for the pur-
pose of renewing notes, he found TO his astonish-
ment and dismav, that he was in for SIGH 900, for
which he had not received the cquivaent of Il
cent. lie thinks now that with proper manage.
mant Of his property he would be ably to pay all
his liabilities and still have 100000 but if it is
disposed of at a forced sale, he will be left with
worse than nothing. e.
During the examination of Mr.. Barnum, he
stated that his entire wealth consisted in IA gold
watch, a diamond pin, and few obligations in
his favor, by him considered worthless. He fur
ther stated to the court, that he supports himself
by keeping Il boarding house in Eighth street, the
provisions being furnished by his son-in- law, and
the vegetables contributed by friends in Ccnnect-
cut. lie likewise remarked that he had but two
suits Of clothes and S2j in cash in his possession.

The London Shipping Gazette Of the 18Th Feb.
contains q letter from Cyrus w. Field, of this
city, now in London, ANNOUNCING bis failure to
procure settlement Of the Company's claim on
the London underwriters for the loss Of their cleo
trio cable. This occurred, our readers well re-
member, last summer, between Newfoundland aud
Cape Breton, in consequence of a storm that COM
PEELED the captain to tho cable in order to save
the vessel in which it was embarked. Mr.. Field
says that one of the underwriters told him 'there
was no loss the cable being at the bottom of the
sea. just where you ,pislted to put it!' This is a
pretty good joke at the expense of the owners.
Mr.. Field has ordered the preparation Of a new
cable, which shows the spirit of the American
Company. Its members are determined to carry
out their object, and construct an Atlantic Tele-
graph Line. The leading personages among them.

FISH IN IIARNEss.-The National Inteilccncer
publishes, under the head of '.Patent Oiiice-Na-
tural History Agricultural Fishes" the fol-
lowing story.
s'Connccted with this subject, somewhat re-
mOtely it may be, in the experience of Mr.. r. L..
Pell, of Pelham Farm, near Saucertis, n. Y, n
gentleman well known as an extensive Orcharcist
and who has sold as the products of his orchards
in one year S66, 900 worth of apples and cider,
some of the former being retailed in Tendon at
shilling each. Having prepared suitable har-
ness, MIR. Pell obtained from the Hudson n
sturgeon, some seven feet long, which he har-
messed and put in pond on his farm, attaching
line and cork-hoat to the traces. Whenever
he desired to sail about the pond which was il
fourth of mile in circumference, he would go
out in boat, usually containing two persons
and attach the cord to it, when the sturgeon
would invariably dart of at its utmost speed AMI
make several circuits around the rond keeping
near the shore all the way. 1t would then sud
denly stop, rise to the surface of tho water AMI
turn upon lis back, thus indicating its exhausted
condition. Having seen and cOnycrscd with an
intelligent and cntirc v reliable gentleman who
has accompanied Mr.. p. upon several of these
excursions, we can assure tho reader thit we
have no doubt of the prac:icability and safety of
this MOTE OF navigation, especially in shallow
waters"

One MILLION STROKES WITH PEy.-A man
lately accepted challenge to make one million
strokes with pen and ink within month not
to be mere scratches dots but far down strokes
such rs form the child's first lesson in writing.
The month was to Ike four weeks. and he was to
abstain from the task on Sundays; so that he
must average $4,000 strokes per day. On the
first day he executed about $4,000 strokes; on
the second day nearly rs many. But at length /,
after many days, the hand became stiff and wea-
ry, and the wrist swollen, and it REQUIRED The
constant attendance of relation or friend to
besprInkle it, without interupting its progress
over the paper, with lotion calculated to in
vigorate it. On the 25d day the million strokes
exceeded by some few thousands 'sto make as
