ANDREW j. ALLEN.---The Boston Ledger relates

ANDREW j. ALLEN.--The Boston Ledger relates
the following amusing anecdote of the late Andrew
J. Allen, the celebrated costumer and actor:
In piece called The Battle Of the Lakes" or
some such name, Allen was once performing
prominent part, and in scene in which the Anne
rican and British fleets were represented in hostile
action. The finale of the naval struggle was of
course to be the utter discontinue and surrender
of the enemy; but unfortunately those who had
the working of the miniature vessels were partially
intoxicated and accidentally sunk the whole Amer-
can feet, while the English ships remained gallant
ly on the surface, much to the disgust and disap-
pointment of the patriotic Philadelphia audience,
who manifested their displeasure in groans and
Kisses
Allen, not being aware of what had happened
strutted across the stage in great confusion and
whispered to the prompter What id the dabe of
cobbud seds is the batter ?" The prompter couldn't
tell, for he couldn't see. Suddenly Allen bethought
him OF the scenery, and walking on again, his fears
were confirmed; and so, rushing to the wings,
"R. q. e." he roared out to the delnquents in
style uncomfortable to ears polite, but very effec
tive for them to SICK that Igglish feet id bid
dit" The frightened "supes fastened to obey,
and suddenly the whole American fleet rose again
and at the firing of only one gun, down went the
whole British feet
This miraculous naval victory redeemed the
scene, and the curtain fell amid immense applause

The Civil War in Kansas.

CHICAGO. Nav 2l.-Dates from I.eayenworth.
Kansas, to Saturday, state that Wednesday 1.-THE
2lst) was fixed for an attack on Lawrence. The
reign of terror was complete in the Territory.
Two cannon had crossed the rversat Gibson, des-
tined for Lawrence. The Buford Company had
been enrolled as militia They had been furnished
by Shannon with United States arms. The free
State men want arms and ammunition. Marshal
Donaldson had proclaimed his intention to make
clean work this time. Gov. Robinson was still in
Lexington, Missouri The correspondent OF the
Jefferson MO- Inquirer states that petition was
circulating in the border Counties praying the inn
mediate removal of Col Sumner. Mr.. Brown, edi-
tor Of the Herald of Freedom, writes that mob
had entered his hotel at Kansas city, and dragged
on . man supposed to be himself but having dis
covered their mistake returned and demanded
him. The proprietor refused, and company of
Michigan emgrants entered the hotel to protect
the occupants, the mob still surrounding the hotel
at the close of his letter. There was nothing au-
thentic concerning Browns fate since his capture
The st. Louis Democrats correspondence of the
18th states that from eight to twelve hundred men
were encamped near Lecompton. The people of
Lawrence had sent note to Col. Sumner asking
him to station body of troops in the vicinity to
prevent the mob proceeding to sanguinary extrem-
tiles. He declined, saying he had no power to
move without orders In answer to an inquiry,
Donaldson said the following demands must be
complied with: Every man against whom process
had been issued should be surrendered; all NUM-
tons of war at Lawrence be delivered up; the
citizens OF Lawrence should pledge themselves inn
plicity to obey the present enactments of Kansas
under oath. On receipt of this the citizens held
meeting, drew up letter to the Marsha stating
that any person acting under him should be allow
ed to execute to the letter process against any in
habitant of Lawrence, and il called upon they
would serve as posse in aiding the arrests. They
would not now nor at any future time make any
resistance to the law. They only waited an oppor-
tunity TO testify their fidelity to the Union and the
constitution. They claimed to be law-abiding,
orderloving people, and asked protection from the
constituted authorities The purport of the Mar
shaps answer was that he did not believe the prom
ises Of the people Of Lawrence, but regarded them
as rebels and traitors They should Know his de-
| mands when he came.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAVING GARDEN SEEDS
When the seeds are ripe, gather them without
unnecessary delay; otherwise the pods will
split open and their contents be scattered
upon the ground. Do not gather indiscrimi-
nately, but take only the finest looking heads.
By this selection of the best plants and the
best seed good varieties may be even improved,
and they certainly will not deteriorate In
this way many of our choice vegetables have
been obtained The practical stockbreeder's
motto is that " like produces like" and he
breeds from those animals only which posse
the points he wishes perpetuated. Thus, If
you select the earliest peas, from the earliest
vines, for number of seasons, you can obtain
a variety ripening several days earlier than
that which you commenced Ii has been done
once, and may be done again.
Place the seed vessels, as soon as gathered,
upon cloth in the shade, 90 that they may
become perfectly dry, at which time thresh
out the seed, by means of a small stick. Win
now out the chaff and small or defective seed,
and put the remainder in drawers or small
paper bags. Every kind should be labelled
with its name and the year when raised, in
this manner: Early salmon radish, 1856. !"
This will prevent all possibility Of the inexpe-
rienced cultiv ator mistaking beet for cabbage
seed, or sowing that which by the lapse of
time has lost its powers Of germinatlon
Keep these drawers or bags in a cool dry
apartment, where no In Jury may be appre-
hended from moisture or the attacks of mice
With care seeds may be preserved for several
years.
