trade from these different tribes of Indians is sufficient
Of itself to make this great place. They have as

unsurpassed as regards land, water timber mineral

VERY PECULIAR DIsH,-When our party OF Blk
had seated themselves at the center table, my aten
ton attracted by covered dish, something unu-
sual at Chinese meal On certain signal the cover
was removed and presently the face Of the table was
covered with juvenile crabs which made their exc
dns from the dish with all possible rapidity. The
crablets had been thrown into plate Of vinegar just
as the company sat down such an immersion max.
ing them more brisk and lively than usual. But the
sprghtly sport Of the infant crabs checked
BY each guest sezing which he coold dashng it into
his mouth, crushing it between his teeth, and swal
lowing the whole morsel without ceremony. Deter
mining to do as the Chinese did, tried this novelty
also with one-with two-I succeeded, finding the
shell soft and gelatinous for they tiny creatures
not more than day or two old 4 but was com
PEELED to give into the third, which had resolved to
take vengeance, and gave my lowerlp nip SO sharp
and severe as to make me relnquish my hold and
likewise desist from any other experiment of this ma

IMPHEE.-The Acting Commissioner of Patents has
received an interesting letter from Theodore Blume
Vice Presdent of Calvert College, Carroll county,
Maryland in which the writer states that he has been
successful beyond his most sangune expectations in
the cultivation OF nearly all the seeds which he re-
ceived through the Patent Office. Eight of the
eleven varieties of lmphee (Afrcan sugar camel
which he received about the middle of June were
thriving admirably. The stalks were considerably
thicker than these of the Chinese sugar cane. He
had procured from 7. Thorburact & Co. of New York,
quantity of what they sell for African Imphee, but
the stalks from this seed resembled very much the
Chinese sugar cane, and bore not the slightest
blance to those which he raised from the seed which
he received from the Department.

Runway REspossrBnIrY.-The gallantry of con.
ductor Cole of the Little Miami Railroad was put
q severe test one evening last week. Among his
numerous passengers on the run to Columbus, was
young and interesting lady accompanied by her
husband, apparently citizens of the Sunny South"
and each elegantly dressed and Of refined manners
Unfortunately, accident detained the train hour
and half behind time. During the interim of
waiting for time, the lady, who had been observed
to be in very interesting situation, began to mani
fest symptoms Of tribulatiOn. She, however, main
tanned her composure with heroic forttude. until for
bearance ceased to be modest when intimation of
a very peculiar character was conveyed to the con-
ductor. He Immediately sought for physician,
caused the remaining passengers TO evacuate the cars
and in little less than no time The child aoas born
The train proceeded to Columbus where the lady
carefully conveyed under Mr.. Coles supervision, to
comfortable hotel, where at last accounts the mother
and child were doing we'll From circumstances that
presented themselves after the first excitement
attending the novel acconchment had subsidized, it
transpred that the lady had timed her labors" and
would have arrived at Columbus according to her cal
cuations but for the mschance which befel the train
The importance of exact connections thus commends
itself in very notable manner to all railway conduc.
tors. In conclusion, we remark that passengers on
that OCCASION testify that the gallant young conductor
acquitted himself gracefully Of his Duties as the
young mother acquitted herself of her responsibility

GOVERNOR WALKER AND THE DEAD HoRsE.-The
Kansas correspondent of the Missouri Democrat fur
nishes the following good thing:
When at GAINESVILLE, Gov. Walker left sick dra-
goons horse died. The wag of the place got up
long petition, carefully prepared so that until near
its close, it was impossible to guess its object. On
the Governors return the petition was presented to
him. He read on and on. 1t set forth, finally, that
the horse had defuncted; that the sun was nncom
monty hot in these days; that heat had the effect of
decomposing dead bodies; that carcases, in that con-
diton, emitted etluyia obnoxious to the sense of
smelling and unfavorable to the public health that
many desired to drag away the horse, but finding
nothing in the organic act authorizing them to do So
and having obtained no charter from the Territorial
Legislature, or even the Topeka General Assembly,
for that purpose, they wished to know from his Ex-
ceency whether they would be justified in assuming
the responsibility OF removing the nuisance them
selves 4s VII :. .i5-. e
This satire on his Lawrence movement it is said,
made the little man swear excessively.
