2 once knew man that bought fine
booking sorrel mare. that was as false a
beast as could be; but he finally curel her to
perfection il, the following manner:
He geared her to the cart, and went to
the corn field TO get load of pumpkins
After he had got some ten or a dozen on
she though. she had too much load and re-
fused to pull. He coaxed and patted her
for some time, but all to no purpose. next
he got stick and thumpcd and thrashed,
with the same success, and then he thought
he would try another plan. He got a
wheclbarrow and wheeled pumpkins enough
to make fall load. and put them in the
cart. when he took her by the head again.
but. 1t wasDno go. He then started home,
and concluded she might either pull the
load of pumpkins or stand there till judg-
ment day. But when the sun began to get
low, she began to think about her supper.
and started for home. passing skillfully
through three sets of bars, and arrived at
the stable with her load. He put her in
the stable AMI fed her as ifnothing had hap
pened. She refused to pull at two other
times but she received the same treatment
each time. so she found it no use; for she
had to pull the load in the end.
After that she became as good beast as
was ever hitched.

BOLD ROBBERY OF THE HATTER's BANK
The robbery Of the Hatter's Bank at Bethel
Con-, on the 9Th inst. last, was hold
operation. The Hartford Times gives thi
account of it
The robbers are adopts at their business,
as will be seen by the manner in which they
proceeded to accomplish their task. They
entered the main door of the bank in the
night, by means of skeleton key proceeded
to the directors room in the rear, took up
the carpet on one side of the room, and then
sawed out a trap door under the large centre
table, through which they entered to the
vault below. Here they worked evidently
for a week, nights, until they succeeded in
undermining the vault and taking therefrom
So6,OO0. After they finished their nights
work, they came up through the trap-door
replaced it, put down the carpet again and
tackled it down, and left the bank apparently
precisely as they found it. For fear the
table might be moved and the trap-door get
displace' by being stepped on, they inserted
screws in the boards to keep them from NOV.
ing. Thus they proceeded each night until
they secured their plumber and decamped
un.uspected, even.
On Monday morning the officers of the
bank went to the vault to unlock il. and
found that the bolt to the inner door would
not move, and supposing that the lock was
out of renair, they worked at 1t until noon,
when they succeeded in opening it, and found
plug in the keyhole on the ins lc, and the
bottom of the vault dropped out This was
the first intimation they had that the bank had
been molested. The robbers had worked in

DOUGLAS AND THE ENGLISH BILL.

The Chicago Tribune refers to reported
caucus of Anti-Lecompton Democrats held
at Washington at the residence of Senator
Broderick on the Sunday night previous to
the passage of the English bill, at which
Col. Forney was present, it asks:
"Is it a fact, that after Senator Dougla.
and all the rest of the meeting, except
Senator Broderick, had signifed that they
would accept the English substitute, Col.
Forney slightly protesting, that the Califor-
MIA Senator arose to his feet and said in SUBJ
stance Gentlemen, you can vote for the
English substitute if you will but should
you do 50, as sure as there is God above,
will denouncc YOU upon the floor OF the Senate
for having deserted and sold out to the Ad-
ministration.' And is it fact that this
resolute conduct of Senator Broderick alone
induced MIR. Douglas and the remaining
corporal's guard to oppose the English sub
stitute?
According to the Washington Union it is
fact, Referring to Mr.. Douglas, it says -
''To do him justice, he is not so unwse as
to have persisted in these attacks upon the
administration, if left to his own judgement.
1t is generally believed here, and zoe hare no
doubt of the fact, that he desired to except the
English bill and vote for it but he yielded
to Broderick' S superior strength of will, and
went against it.

JAMES BUCHANAN.

The DISPATCHES The first sentence of the
Queens Message to the President was des-
patched from Trinity Bay for the whole of
it,--and as such was published in the daily
papers throughout the union,-a mistake
which originated with the Cable operators
and is explained in the following des-
patches
TRINITY BAY, Aug. II.
The Queens Message was completed at
FIVE o'clock this morning. TWAS commenced
yesterday, and during its reception, Valentia
desisted sending it in order to make some
slight repairs in the Gable. Through mis-
take the part received was sent south as ii
it constituted the whole message.

The above was Immediately sent to WASH
ington, together with the following

ment received from Trinity Bay, explaining
the cause which prevented the whole of the

message to her majesty full reply-and
date it this day accordingly? The opera
tors at Trinity Bay await your answer.
Signed PETER COOPER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
The President authorizes the transmission
of his message to the Queen of England pre-
cisely as it is, and without change Of date.
When the first sentence of the Queen s
despatch was received, and it was sup
posed to be the whole, it seemed very
curt, even for Queens ompliment-well
enough as far as it went, but few words Of
good feeling would have made it so much
better. But the completion Of the despatch
supplied the want. The whole is kindly
said and becomingly said. No more was
necessary. We wish we could speak without
disparagement of MIR. Buchanan's reply. Had
he only stopped when he was done, his an
swer would have been well. His last sentence
was not necessary, nor BETTING to the occa-
sion, nor in conformity with good manners.
Think of a friendly compliment ending with
the word hostihties-of specializing how a
bond of perpetual peace ought to be used in
case of rar Why could not he have left that
sentence of =? Any sensible woman,-not tc
say any sensible statesman,-would have told

THE DELAY OFTHE CABLE.

The delay in bringing the Ocean Telegraph
nto available working condition leads
some people to anticipate an ultimate failure.
This feeling is not lessened by the omission
of the managers to make known definitely
what the real difficulty is. The general
statement which comes day after day, that
" things is working, but that the instru-
ments are not as yet sufficiently adjusted for
writing, is very unsatisfactory. But if dis
tinct electrical "signals are really passing all
the while, as stated, writing at some rate or
other can, and will be made to follow.
1t is stated that after months of careful
and difficult experiment. at q cost to the At
lantic telegraph company of some 100, 0OO.in
which all the aids of science and skill were
brought into rcquisition, the English electri-
clans in the employ of the company were
able to transmit Geographic signals through
the cable, then in dry coil only at the slow
rate of three letters and two-fifths of a letter
per minute. Words average about seven let
ters so that about two minutes was requi-
red to pass single word through the cable on
land, where there was no obstacle to trans
mission but the mere length of the cable it.
self. Afterwards the Hughes printing in
strument was tried, and it was said that four
words per minute We're transmitted. 1t is
also said that over the mparatvely short
telegraph line that connects Europe and
Africa the rate Of transmission is only from
two to three words per minute, never, under
the best circumstances, exceeding four.
If these things are SO, then, telegraphing
by the Atlantic Cable is to be very slow bu-
siness, compared with the lightning writing
of the land lines; but at some rate or other,
if it be but one word an hour, we hope the
electricians will give us some writing, and
that before long.
