EXTRAORDINARY FREAKS OF A LUSATIC.--Ay young
man in Mercer county, Pa, named Davis, has for
some time manifested symptoms of insanity. The
Pittsburg Dispatch says:
BE imagines himself to be second Dan Rice en-
gagged in getting up a circus. On the Sth ult., he
caught snake which he took to Bells schoolhouse
in the neighborhood, where he says, he had grand
performance; after getting through which, he swept
the house and broke all the windows with the broom
stick. He then proceeded to the residence of Mr.
Vim. Curry, mile or two from town, in the absence
Of the family, and destroyed nearly everything in the
house. He says he went there ito have some fun;''
broke gun, with the barrel Of which he smashed the
crockery, dishes, glassware and windows; took to
pieces clock and two watches, grinding up the
works in cider press It then struck him that the
ground where the house stood would be an admirable
location for circus, whereupon he built fire on the
hoor, and it was soon in flames, from which he mar
rowly escaped by jumping from window, cutting
his arms and hands in getting out, and leaving
broadcloth coat which the heat induced him to throw
OF, a prey to the flames. Considering the bees ap
propriate performers in his new circus he upset seye
raj hives, and undertook to put seighbells on the
insects, In which performance" he was very badly
stnng: When the neighbors came running to the
fire, they found him under shade tree congratulate
ing himself that this was the best performance he
had had it brought the largest audience! The
house was entirely destroyed, and the poor lunatic
secured and sent to Mercer jail

washington a Marshal Of France.

1t is not generally known that Gen. Washington
during the war Of the Revolution, received the honor
airy title of Mareschai de France. In reference to
this matter, the Frederick (va.) Examiner, of the
18th, contains the following: s
Some weeks ago, in a convention in the Examiner
office, gentleman Of this city remarked that he had
in his possessian an old porcelain mug with eligy
OF Gen. Washington on horseback, and the inscrip-
ton beneath, George Washington ESQ.,, General.in-
Chief of the United States Army and Marshal of
France" discussion thereupon arose as to whether
Washington had ever received the baton of Marshal
Of France. To resolve the doubt Colonel A. Kimmel
said he would address the venerable G. W. Parke Gus.
tbs, the surviving member Of Washington household
on the subject. He did So and received in reply the
following letter.
ARLINGTON HOUSE, Aug. Is, 1857.
NY Dear COL htmmet-Your very acceptable let.
ter came duly to hand. In regard to Washington as
Marshal Of France, have in this house "proof as
strong as holy writ, in an engraving of Napier, of
Merchistoun, the celebrated inventor of the Loga.
rithms. which was presented to Washington by the
the endorsement in the handwriting of the Earl "To
Marshal General Washington, with the respects of
Buchan." Now Buchan lived in the age of the Revo-
luton and was the associate Of COURTS and certainly
would not have addressed to one he so loved and adj
mired as he did to the chief, a title to which the
chief had no claim. Lord Napier, on visit to the
Arlington House. was greatly gratfed by sight of
Renaissance of his ancestors treasured among the
relics of Washington.
The history of title Marshal of France is simply
this When, in ISL Colonel Laurens went to France
special ambassador, difficulty arose between him
! and the French Minister as to the command of the
| combined armies IN America. Our heroic Laurens
said i" Our chief must command it is our cause
and the battle is on our SOIL" !" C'est impossible y
exclaimed the Frenchman by the +" etiquette of the
French service, the Count de Rochambeau, being an
old Lieutenant-General, can only be commanded by
the King in person, or a Mareschal de France &
"Then," exclaimed Laurens, make our Washington a
Mareschal de France, and the difficulty is at an end
| 1t was done.
friend of mine heard Washington spoken of as
Monsieur Ia Mareschal at the seige OF Yorktown
Our beloved Washington never coveted or desired
rank or title but is is beyond doubt that, from
the force Of circumstances just related the rank and
title of Mareschal de France was conferred upon
| the General.in-Chief of the combined armies of
America and France.
Beieee me, my dear sir, truly and faithfully your
obliged friend and servant,
| GEORGE W, P GUSTS.

PREPARED FOR PETTIFoGGING-We find the fol-
lowing in the Athens (Ga.) Watchman:
"A gentleman in q certain county in Georgia, about
fortyve years Of age who had been Justice of the
Peace for years. had sold goods farmed it, and done
little Of nearly everything else concluded that he
could win laurels at the bar. He borrowed Black

principles Of this abstruHe science as the committee
appointed 70 examine him thought he ought to be-,
and not having undergone the lucubrationes annornm
viginti Of which the commentator speaks, they mod
esty advised him to withdraw his application, which
he did, Six months thereafter he renewed the appli-
cation, which resulted precisely as the first. By no
means discouraged (you can't crowd genius) at his
two failures he made his third application. It was
and look upon it as one Of those fecitous incidents
In the events Of human life constituting the green
spots in memory's waste. Col. L. was appointed to
examine him on the Common Law. He began with
the usual questions n.

MAMMOTH RATTLEsNAKE.-A correspondent
writing from Walnut Hi Lee county, Va, who is,
as the Democrat assures its readers, gentleman in
whom implicit confidence may be placed, gives the
following anecdote of the killing of monster reptile
in Harlan county, KY He says:
About three weeks ago five men went to gather
Whortleoerrles IN the mountainous part of Harlan
county, n.y., and in their travels came to a small
pfanch al the loot OF steep RIDGE where they dis
covered smooth beaten patch rather slide, that
led from the branch up the ridge. Curiosity tempt.
ing them to know its meaning, they followed the
trail to the top of the ridge where to their astons
ment they found about an acre of ground perfectly
smooth and destitute OF vegetation near the centre of
which they discovered small sink or cave. large
enough to admit salt barrel.
They concluded to drop in few stones, and pre-
sently their ears were sauted with loud rumbiing
SOUND, accompanied with rafting noise; and an
enormous serpent made his appearance blowing and
spreading his head, and his forked tongue protruded
The men were struck with wonder and alright and
suddenly the atmosphere was filled with smell so
nauseatns that three of the five men taken very
sick; the other two, discovering the condition Of
their companions, dragged them away from that abode
OF DEATH About ten feet of the snake had to their
Judgment, made its appearance, when they hurried
home and told what they had to their neighbors
The next day were mounted some ten of the
hardy mountaneers, armed with rifles determined to
destroy the monster On approaching within one
hundred yards of the dwelling of his snakeship their
horses suddenly became restve and neither kindness
nor force could make them go any nearer. The men
dismounted and hitchng their horses, proceeded on
foot with rifles cooked to the mouth of the cave
They hurled in three or four large stones and fell
back some fifteen steps, when the same noise was
heard as before, and out came the dreaded reptile
ready as his looks indicated to crush the ntruders.
About the same length of the snake had appeared
from the hole when eight orten bullets went through
nus head, and as the monster died he kept crawling
OUT until twenty feet of that huge boa lay motonless
fNVa1 u
first four inches in diameter the rest
decreasing in size to the last. With difficulty the
men dragged him home, and his skin can now be
seen BY the curious in Harlan county.

BE KIND TO YOUR SIsrERs.--Boys, be kind to your

The MOTHER MoULDs THE MAN.--That it ia the

fIated BY the following recorded observation Of a
Hhrewd writer T.7 .-7 =
y" When lived among the Choctaw Indians held
successive stages Of their progress in the arts Of civ
ilized life, and among other things he informed me
that at their start they fell into great mistake.
They only sent their boys to school. These boys
came home Intelligent men, but they married unedu-
Gated and uncyilized wives and the uniform result
was that the children were all like their mothers.
Thus the father soon lost all his interest in both wife
and children And now, said he, if we could educate
bnt one class Of our children we should choose the
girs, Tor, when they become mothers, they educate
their sons. This is thei point and it is true. No
nation can become fully enlightened when mothers
are not IN good degree qualified to discharge the
duties Of the homework Of education.o
