Humorous Sketches.
Charlie, the DutChman.

Charlie, the Dutchman, arrived at Seaford
Del, sometime ago, and stuck down his stakeb
MAJOR, who is very fond of good Joke, and
seeing That Charlie had his guns ard was quite
roma OF cunning proposed to him one evening
10 go out and shoot crows in thcket of pines
belonging to Gov. Ross. Charlie the Ditch.
man accepted, and was IN great pIee at the
prospect OF shooting half-d0Zen Yankee crows
The moon was shining about sufficient TO make
IT good Growing night. Now Major was
aware that there was a large hornets nest in
one direction, so he sent Charlie the Dutcbman
towards the hornefs-nest, while he took another
r"'o Whh Tie understanding that the one who
hret discovered crows nest should whistle.
AFTER lew minutes Charlie the Dutchmap
"hls'ied and Major went TO him. ..rg
Mal~r, here is one tam crow $ nest as nip as
a tu,hel"
IL IrpD1Aly has young ones in it, Charlie: 90
up and clap your hlnd on it and catch them.
Charlie the DutchmaH dotted his coat. hatand
boots, climbed up The pine, while Major took
tie precIution to lay himself down and cover
up.
Charlie the Dutchman caps his hand on the
nest.
" Mine Gott, Major, de nest is full of de lit
tie crows
Major, one little crow bite me. Mine Go,t.
Major, de tam little crows bite me all over -
Mine Gott, how dey do bite! Major, I'm a
comm i tell you Pm comin."
And sure enough, Charlie the Dutchman
dropped to the ground and ran about quarter
OF nile without his coat and hat, to get clear
of Z" de tam little crows" -.
Charlie returned to get his coat and hat,while
MaJ"r contrlVed to slip oil quietly without be-
u~ bitten.
Charl the Dutchman put on his hat, and a
little crow which had taken refuge in the hat
took that opportunity to bite him on the head.
and when he picked up his coat lie found itcov-
cred with little crows.
" Mine GoIt, Major, everything is full of desc
tam E.tle crows. I'm off, Major,-I say Fm
on = Ard away went Charlie the Dulchman.
and dIJ not stop 50 long as he could hear the
buzz OF &" little crow" ...t
After Major had recovered breath sufficient
to speak, he explained 10 Charlie, and Charlie
saw the force Of the joke.
"Now, Major, if you don't tell dis when YOU
60 home, give you five tollar, and if you tell
1t you Is one rascal and fight you" 81.
Bu', Notwithstanding Charles bribes and
threats, Major was engaged nearly all night in
relating Charities adventure with the "tam lit

Miscellaneous ArElcJes.
The Massacre at Cawnnore.

The chief feature of the advices from Europe
the terrible massacre at Cawnpore. Ii would
seem that in the small fort at Cawnpore some
thirty English troops, with over 500 women and
children, had taken refuge under the orders Of
Sir Hugh Wheeler. The extensive plain with
out the fort swarmed with thousands of the fe-
r,cous mutineers under the command of Neha
Sahib. The besieged waited and waited, but
in vain, for relief. At last, Sir Hugh, on whom
the hopes of all rested, fell mortally wounded,
in one OF the gallant sorties that he had made
against such fearful odds, and, with starvation
staring them in the face, the garrison then sur
rendered Oh the condition that they might de-
scend the river TO Alahubad. No sooner, how
ever had they got into their boats than Nena
Sahld shot down every man, woman and child I!
Not one escaped. General Ilavtlock suisse
qnently arrived, at the head of 2000 British
troops 90 late TO prevent the massacre, but
not too late to ayenge it. Cawnpore was re-
taken, and Nrua routed in two engagements
At latest dates, he was in his in,renched camp
at Bthsuur; where General lIavelOck was pre-
parlng 10 meet him. Not less interesting
than this are the narratives of events in
other parts of India. There had been seye-
raj fierce engagements before Delhi all result
ing in the repulse of the mutiuecrs. The be
sjeging force, numbering only 1000 men, was
altogether too small to risk an attack or ven
ture within "a city containing hostile popula-
tion Of aoout l50. 900 souls. They were there
fore compelled to await renturcements. Al
Arago the British had been Obliged to retire
before the mutlneers. All that the former
could muster. including the garrison Of the fort
and the civilians, did not amount to 1000 men,
while the latter were over 10000 strong
Fearing the repetition Of the tragedy enacted
at Cawnpore, the English, though SO greatly
inferior in numbers, determined to anticipate
the assault, and sailed forth in body to meet
the mutineers. Unfortunately, their ammuni-
retreat they suffered heavy loss. Their situa-
ton, by latest accounts, was conceived 10 be :
most critical one. Upon reviewing the whole
news by this arrival, the tide may be regarded
as turned in favor of the British. BY the re-
capture Of Cawnpore, Lucknow and the North
west are considered saved and if the report be
true that Brigadier, General Chamberlain was
approaching Delhi at the head of 1000 men, the
fall Of that city may take place earlier thar
most people anticipate.-Ph Argus.

BLOODY TINES IN San DoMINGo.-A letter
from Curacao of Aug. 2G, furnishes the follow
ing:
Our advices from San Domingo give US
fearful accounts of the insurrcction IN that isl.
and. Your readers are aware that the island is
divided into two iaction-the blacks and the
colored--Souoque being Emperor OF the .tor-
mer. and General Baez President of the latter.
Souloque is beloved by his people, while Baez,
from a system Of pecuatlon (no new thing in
the annals of that republc), rendered himself
mighty obnoxious to his subjects; and two par
ties icing formed, ATE now at war, one fighting
for the return of General Santana (now an exile
IN ST. Thomas) and the other for Baez. The
army Of Santana being very numerous, and
pressing hard OH Baez, has compelled him to
call to his aid the blacks under .Souloque, pre-
ierrng to give up his preientions rather than
submit to his too powerful rival. There has
already been a great deal of bloodshed, and
every likelihood of it's continuance for some
time"
