a Good Thing.

Some years ago there lived in the back
part Of Dutchess county rich old farmer.
who was decided reprobste, and like
many other sinners, very much atraii Of
denh. At one time his on y son, Ezekie,
was taken with the small pox. The old
man was very much afraid Of the con,a.
gion, and could not be induced to visi, bis
suffering heir. At length Ezekiel was
pronounced to be in almost hopeless con
dition, and the old man waa informed .ha.
If he ever wished to speak with him again
in the world. he must avail himself imms-
diately Of the opportunity.
In chamber on the ground aoor Of a
wing of the house, fronting the garden.
lay the sick man, covered with pus.ules,
and bind from the swelling Of the eye lids.
The father, trembling with fear, went ou.
from the kitchen into the garden, and after
finding his way through the usual number
of sunfiowers. hollybocks and marigold..
he at length reached the open window Of
the sick room. There. crouching on th.
ground to remove himself as far as posi-,
bic from the contagion, he called OUT,
'Zeke. they say you're right bad, ard
there's no hopes; try and pray a little,
cause if you git we'll it won't hurt yer,
and if yer die HwiN be id good hny!'

A Tight Place, and mo- Mistake.

While passing through Wilson's Lane,
few days since. We saw large black tur
tie drawing its slow length along on the
side walk, and quite crowd had gathered
to look at the "cre e'tur." SCOT little
negro man, who had just then come along
with very small dog, looked at the turtle
with astonishmept for . moment, and
asked:
"Wha! What you call dat ar feller?''
That's Q turtle, !" answered q bystand-
er. ....a

Soup yah, hal What a looking
feller dat is to make soup OBJ! Heah.
Caesar, bite him." said the negro to his
dog, as he " stirred up the turtle with his
cane.
The dog, seeming to know little more
about the natur of the baste" ,han his
master, hung back little, but finally Re
crawIed up to get a smell Of the strong
customer, when the turtle made dive at
his foot, and. seizng it il his mouth nip't
it SO numerically that the puppy got up
some Of the tallest kind of yelling. and The
negro made no less noise than the dog.
"kiyi hi-ow.ow replied the dog,
while his master pulled like locomotive
exclaiming:
"Gor-a.mightyl You brack toad, why
you no let 90 dat ar dogs foo,?"
After thrashing nightly over the shell
with sugar cane stick. until be hal bro

turtle by the heal, ani attempted to force
him to release bis hold Of the dog In
fortunately, Cuffee got his thumb-oh,

Finally, the " bark slipped !" from the ne,

was no immediate danger of hi. being
harmed by the turtle, which, with " adhe,

was with considerable difficulty that his
jaws could be opened sufficiently wide "to

Inst to q jury.

IF the jury believe, from the evidence
that the plaintiff and defe.daut we're part
ners in the grocery, and that The plaintiff
bought out The defendant, and gave bis
note for the interest and the defendant
paid for the note by delivering to the plain
tifi'a COW. which he warranted not breachy
and the warranty was broken BY reason OF
the breachiness Of the COW. and he drove
the COW back and tend red her to the dc :
fendan., but the defendant refues,. to re-.
ceive her, and the plaintiff took her home
again, and put a heavy yoke or poke upon
her to prevent her from jumping the fence
and by reaso n Of the yoke or poke broke
her neck and died; and il the jury further
believe that the defendants interest in the
grocery was worth anything, the plaintiff 5
note was worthless, and the COW good for
nothing, either for milk or beef, then the
jury must find out themselves, how they
will decide the case; for the court if il un
derstands itself, and il thinks il does, don I
know how such case should be decided. .

A Little Dinic ul:y.

The Paindealer gives an account Of an
enterprsing travelling agent for well
known Cleveland tomb stone manufactory,
who lately made n business visit to small
town in an adjoining county. Hearing in
the village that man in the remote part
ofihe township had lost his wife, he thought
he would 60 and see him and offer conso-
lation and grave stone on his most rea.
sonable terms. He started. The road
was frishtful one, but the agent perse-
Vered, and finally arrived at the bereaved
mans house. Bereaved mans hired girl
told the agent that the bereaved man was
splitting fence rails 'Hover in the pastur'
about two miles, The indeiatigable agent
hitched his horse and started for the pas
tur." After falling inso all manner of
mud holes, scratching himself with briars
and tumbling over decayed logs, the agent
at length found the bereaved man. In
subdaed voice he asked the man il be had
agent was very sorry to hear Of it and
sympathzed with the man very deeply in
his affection but death, he said, was All

man that what vas his loss was her GAIN
and would be glad to sell him grave

The Coal Fiel Ids Of Iowa.

There are few persons who have even a
remote idea Of the wealth buried in the form
Of coal within the territory Of Iowa. The
coal fields Of the State are estimated by
Mr.. Owens, the celebrated geologist, to GOV.
er an area Of twenty five thousand square
miles, exhibiting the fact that they are the
most extensive in the world. Much Of this
coal, to judge from the specimens seen, is
Of far better quality than the Illinois coal,
being purer, harder, and better fitted for
mechanical and domestic purposes, as its
properties render il more durable and heat
ing in it's combustion. 1t has another
great Recommendation, its gaseous nature
will make it most desirable to ges manu-
facturers.
An idea may be had oftbe revenue that
this coal would bring into Iowa, if it were
once made available to the ready marke,
waiting for it around our borders and at
the South, even to the gulf of Mexico, from
the following statement made in Cumber
land exchange, of the Maryland trade in
this article of fuel for one week. The state
ment says:--
"For the week ending Saturday. Oct. &c
6,467,o6 tons Of coal were shipped over
the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Rail-
road, 2,664,05 tons over the road Of the
Georges Creek Coal and Iron Company
and 5,292.l9 over the road Of the Cumber
land Coal and Iron Company and 9l2,l
tons over the Hampshire Coal and Iron
Company's road, making an aggregate for
the week from the whole coal region of %,
306,26 tons.
This amount valued at 81 per ton. which
we should call low estimate, brings in a
revenue, or its equivalent, for that mesk
into the State Of Maryland of forty eight
millions nine hundred and eighteen Mous
and and forty eightdohors. an amount SO
great thatit seems hardly credible that one
resource should be SD prolific in wealth,
in so short space Of time.
Is it not reasonable to claim if the mines
of Maryland are so profitable that those
Of our own State will be aprroximatcd
when opened, in traffic? Most assuredly
SO, and yet this immense resource for
wealth and industry as far as the present
is concerned. is totally valueless 1t stands
in the same relation 10 the people of Iowa
that the accumulated wealth OF years does
to the miser He can look on his boarded
gains and say, with folded arms. this is
mine. and these are ours, We. neither is
profted by the possession.
How long shall this wealth lay profit
less? That it will never develope itself is
as true as the sun shines in heaven; hence
if.i ever is developed it must be done by
energy, by enterprize and by the la Dor of
willing hands; ard that energy. that enter,
| prise. ard those wiling hands must ne
found at home; it will never do to look
abroad-for those who are the best served
are those who help themselves Du5ague
Sun.

That Stray Goose.

Seeing a recent notice Of wild goose
reminds us Of an incident in the life O
the Rev. Jesse Lee. which we read many
wears ago. Mr.. Lee was Methodist trav
cling preacher and often in bis journey
called at a house where the man vas pi
Gus but bis wife was not Mr. Lee and
other ministers often conversel with he
on the subject Of religion, but without any
apparent effect. This family had single
goose for which they were desirous of oh
tanning mate. The old lady said con
siderable on the subject, but her husband
replied:
"Never mind. wife. God will send us
gander.'
When Mr.. Lee called there again, he
found that while flock of wild geese was
lying over, a noble gander had separated
itself and had remained with the single
goose that ne, ded mate. This fact had
made such an impression on the mind ot
the lady who owned it. that she became
serious and hopefully pious. Mr.. Lee, on
hearing this exclaimed
That's good one; here's woman
who resisted nll the learned preachers,
now converted by stray gouse."
