A New GAME.-sPooR is game extrav-
agantly INDUCED in at Buffalo. The game
is played on billiard table, with twenty or
thirty balls, each ball numbered, the num-
hers running from one up. A dozen or more
can join in the game. A certain number is
fixed upon, and the player who shall first
pocket enough balls whose number will a
mount to it, wins the pile, which is made up
by the players stalking a certain amount
each before the game commences. Previ-
Gus to the commencement, each player draws
a marble from box and puts it out of sight
in his pocket. These marbles are all num-
bered to correspond with numbers on the Ia
ble The player, after receiving his mar
Bile, recollects the number, and his game is
to pocket balls enough, the numbers of which
added to that of the marble in his pocket
will make the number which wins the pile.
The RcpubLic tells good story of an ad-
venture, an old gent passionately fond of
pool had few nig ghts ago. He is occasion
ally given to chance in other games, it is
intimated. Well, he came home very late
from a siege at pool His wife was asleep.
When she awoke in the morning she found
upon the floor marble which had dropped
out of her husbands pocket when he came
to bed, upon which were the figures 17.-
What is this?' said she to her lord. Lord
opened his eyes, looked, blushed, was con-
fused, and stammered 'why--why--it's mar
BILE, amt it?' Yes said she, 'but what.
are you doing with marble in your pock-
et?' 'In my pocket !-well-ah the fact
is, I've had that marble in my pocket for
the last thirty-6ve years-ever since l used
to play for keeps with Bill - 1ndeed'
incredulously asked his wifc-but what are
these figures on here for? what does II
mean?' II mean p said he hesitatingly-
'Oh! 17?-why that was the number of
marbles Bill owed me when we quit playing,
he marked it on there so l wouldn't forget
it, The old fellow had a narrow escape,
and hasn't played any more pool since.

Browns Pre-Arranged Plan.

Among the letters of Col. Hugh Forbes, just
put forth, exposing fore-knowledge by
leading republican Senators and others Of
the long meditated insurrection Of old
Brown at llarpcr's Ferry, is one dated at
Washington, d. c., May, II, 1858, and ad
dressed to 5. u. Howe, Boston. This letter
gives his own and Browns plans Of opera
ting on the Southern States. Forbes plan
was to organize along the Southern slave
frontier, u series of slave stampedes. But the
following is more To the point
Brown had Il different scheme: lie pro-
posed. with some twenty-five to fifty (colored
and white Mixed, we'll armed, and bringing

BE- given them. the invitation to rise might.

ton, meet with no response, or i feeble one.
To this he replied that he was sure OF res
ponse. He calculated that he could yet, on
the first night, from 200 to 500.

posed to keep with him, mounting 100 or SO

party were to be subdivided into three. four
or five distinct parties, each under two or
three Of the original band and would beat
up other shareholders whence more men
would be sent to Join HIM"
In another letter Of January 18th. to San
born, secretary of the Abolition Emigrant
Aid Society, he refers TO Capt. Brown in this
wise.
There certainly is one error. and there may
be others, in your letter Of the 18th, res
pecting the sums received by Capt. Brown.
The National Committee, which promised
$4,000 sent $50, mot $500 as you suppo-
sci. and the person who brought the $50
charged $40 for expenses, leaving Sll0 emily.
This was all Capt b. had when joined him
at Tabor. ! am sure that he would have
given me money if he had it-any other sup
position is out of the question. cannot
blame him for believing IN the force Of moral
obligations. only think that he was not
sufficiently energetic in insisting upon their
fuliment They are optional TO make; but
once made are sacred. Mr.. Tidd sent on a
financial mission, may have brought more in

as being enough for the purpose, is not
enough. This is another error, and serious
