Mr.. Editor :--AmOngst our citizens here there
is very strong desire that Col. A. s. JARNAGIN
shall be candidate for Floater, in the counties of
McMinn Polk and Meigs. He would receive
cordial and almost unanimous support from the
people in these "diggins" and our information is
that the expression in his favor is very strong In
other parts Of the district. "Come out, thou art
the man." is the voice. DucKTowS.

TIE Crow OF CEYLoN. Every one has heard
Of the sympathies of animals towards each 9TH
cr. Cries of distress will often call them forth.
When the dam of a new born lamb has died,
some alicctionate sheep, although she may have
one of her own, has been known to foster and
sucklc the helpless young one. In my own i'm
mediate ncighborhood, the youngest Of large
litter of pigs-a poor little helpless creature
who was not able to get at its mother for nour-
ishmcnt, was warmed under the wings of a
good-natured hen. 1t was fed by hand, but
when turned down the hen was always ready to
take charge of it, and thus it was reared These
instances might be multiplied to considerable
extent, showing the active bcnevolence of some
animals; but the following fact will prove the
existence OF a combined intelligence in creatures
which have reason to believe has been hither-
to unnoticed by naturalists as existing among
the feathered creation. The accuracy of the
anccdote may be vouchcd for:
In the island of Ceylon there is to be found
a very cunning and sensible crow, somewhat
smaller than our native one, having a glossy
back, and altogether rather an engaging, pretty
bird. Now, in the yard of the Governor Of
Ceylon dog was one day amusing himself by
gnawing a bone, the scraps of meat upon which
attracted the attention Of one of these crows.
1t alighted on the ground, hoped round the
dog and the bone, and evidently waited for an
opportunity of seizing the latter. The dog,
however, was on his guard, and by certain
grows. and probably angry looks, which the
bird understood, no doubt, protected his prop
crty. The crow was too cunning and too hun.

taken this liberty with him. The bone was for
a moment left unprotected. and was immediate

\ FRENcu WITNESS IL \ VERMONT COURT.
At a trial i'll u Vermont court, several years ago,
French lady had been subpcnaed as a witness,
and was called upon to give her testimony. She
was stranger in the place. and "the court felt
itself bound to address her in her native tongue.
Bat the courts education in the parlez vouz
line had been sadly neglected and how to ad-
minister the oath in an intelligent form to the
silent lady before him was for some moments a
puzzling question. Whit was to be done p
The judge called upon several of the lawyers
near him, but they all avowed their ignorance
of the language then so supposedly necessary.
Finally, the counsel for the defendant. clever
Yankee, feeling himself equal to the occasion.
volunteered to eXtrcate the court from its en-
barri>sment, He accordingly rose and address
Ell the lady witness in these terms:
"Nouz iarez Eat wat YOU here testify shall be
ze truse, ze whole truSo, and nossing but ~
truSc, SO help you mon Dieu -
The lady looked for a moment at the manu-
iac,urer of this hybrid sentence in silent aston
i>hmcnt, then turning to the court, said, in per-
iectly good English, though with a slight for
cgn accent. "What does the gentleman say?"
The effect was electrical. Such laugh went
up to the roof of that country court room that
the counsel for the defendant has not heard the
last OF it till this day.

have been endeavoring to learn some facts
with regard to change in the climate of this
States but have met with no success thus far
While it is generally believed that such change
has taken place of late years, can find no sci
entifc proofs of it. Ones mere impressions,
unaided by instruments, are but fallacious evi-
dences as to changes in climates and tempera-
ture.
l cannot learn that regular series of meteo-
rological records have been kept for consider
able number of years any where in the State.
Such records may possibly exist, but no one of
whom | make inquiries can tell me where to
find them. a druggist here in town, on his
own motive and for the advancement of science,
has kept and published few records, but they
do not extend far enough back to furnish any
comparison of the seasons. The question then
naturally arses-can it be possible that the
chief interest Of the State may be SO easily af-
fectcd by changes of the weather and the sea-
sons, and yet the State, tax" no measures to as
certain what those changes are? Can it be pos
sbe that State of the age of that of Illinois
with soil of unlimited fertility and of CORES
ponding ease and means of intellectual culture
among its inhabitants, with levelness of coun-
try remarkably well adapted to meteorological
observations-can it be possible that State
under these circumstances has paid so little at
tention to the advancement of science, that q
traveller has to seek in vain for its records?
Such state of things ought, think, to sci
the people thinking. If the mind of the State

y good story is told of Buffalo editor. He
had distinguished himself by the violence of his
attacks upon the New York Central Railroad
for bribing the people with free passes but be-
ing about to take a trip east he softened down
to the conclusion that he would like to be
"bribed" himself At the advice of friend he
applied to Dean Richmond, and the story runs
thus -
"'Mr Richmond said the editor Il am going
east and have called to see if you can accom-
modate me with pass 'Certainly, sir, with
the greatest pleasure, said Mr. Richmond, and
he proceeded to fill out the ticket. The little
card was handed to the editor who expressing
his thanks, glanced over it and saw it only pass
ed him to Albany, with no provision for his re-
turn. 'Nlr Richmond,' said he very calmly,
see this only passes me to Albany, | intend to
return-'rhe h-ll you do said Richmond,
