A Romance tor Playwrights.

There is very curious case to be tried
at the next session Of the Paris Tribunal
The circumstances, which seem more like
the fanciful ere alton of a novelist than
real facts, are as follows:
Nearly thirty years ago widow lady,
Of noble and powerful Hugenot family
residing in the South Of France, placed
her child with gardeners wife, who
was to act as foster mother and nurse to
the heir to that vast family estate. One
day, as the young heir was sporting be-
fore the door and the gardner's child was
lying on bed in the cottage, the nurse
heard the wheels Of carriage, and i'm
mediately suspected that the mother of
her young charge was coming to see her
son. In her furry she snatched up the
heir, but slipping. let him fall upon a
heap of stones, breaking his right arm
and collar,5une. In her terror she rushed
other husband, who advised her to stow
away the screaming victim under the bed
clothes, and taking his garments. he
placed them on his own child and boldly
stood at the door to wait the lady's com.
ing. Contrary to the usual casual glance
given by her on her previous visits. the
lady-mother was so struck at the change
in her darling, to the lean, brown, hun
gryslooking babe which she beheld in the
place Of her own plump baby, that vex-
ed and exasperated beyond measure, she
seized the child in her arms and bade the
postillion drive away. The gardner and
his wife were terribly frightened, but de-
cided to 60 the next day to the chateau
and make an explanation. To their fur
ther CONSERVATION, they found on the next
morning that the lady was gone, AMI had
taken away the child. Years sped on,
and the family did not return, while ig.
norant cuttagers, influenced by terror,
never dared stir in the matter, until the
gardeners wife on her death bed recently
made full confession.
In the meantime the cottager's child
had passed his life as member Of one Of
the nobest families Of France, has been
attached to an embassy and now holds a
desirable official position, while the real
heir has spent his youth in discipline and
privation as soldier in Algeria. Th e
latter now brings suit to recover his pro-
perty and title, and the trial promisesft ftc
be one Of the most extraordinary of mod
ern times. Berryer, now probably the
most celebrated lawyer in France, ha;
been retained for the defence.

Hints for the Season,

Keep the hoe and cultivator going
Do not let the ground become caked and
hard or covered with weeds. II your
soil is kept light and mellow, well expos
ed to the influence of the air and the
Transmission Of moisture, the plants will
grow better and stronger. Crops that
have good start, assist them in keeping
it. IL.
II. Prepare for haying. See that all
your tools are in order and sharp Now
ing machines should be examined, and il
any repairs are needed, let it be done
Immediately. He is a poor farmer who
leaves undone such work until the day
the tools are needed, and if lie loses by
it, gets what he deserves. .,sy
III. Root out thistles, cookie, &c, from
grain6elds and everywhere else. A crop
Of thistles in the fence corner, or bv the
road side will seed your fields as quickly
as if raised in the middle of the field
Nip them in the bud; don't let them get
a start. Look upon them as enemies and
act accordingly. The best time to eradi-
cate,i when the grounds soft, or just after
a rain; they are easily pulled up by the
roots.
w. Sow Hungarian grass seed, if
there is any danger Of a light crop Of hay
or if you need larger amount Of forage
than your meadows will at present yield.
Profit by your own past experience, and
that OF your neighbors, as to the best To-
caities in your section in which to grow
this grass.
V. Keep your fences good. Stock Of
ten get among your growing crops, when
the fences are poor, to the loss Of both
crop and temper. More breechy cattle
are made by poor fences than by all
other means combined. This fencing
out your neighbors cattle is an expen-
sive affair, but in the present state Of
things cannot be avoidhd. - Odio Farm.

The Genius of Napoleon in a Sergeant:

Inc GehIus OF Napoleon in Sergeant
We have been informed by an office,
Of the United States army Of most re-
marka5le instance Of ingenuity aud pres
ence Of mind in sergeant of the army,
which occurred few weeks ago, by
which he saved his own life and that OF
his party.
A sergeant with about twenty-five
soldiers had been sent out some miles
from Fort Defiance, New Mexico, to
guard some stock which were sent to
Craze, when Unexpectedly they found
that the party were surrounded by about
four hundred hostile Navajoe Indians
The brave and skilful sergeant took posi-
ton on an eminence. and By volley flom
the long shooting rifles Of his party at
first drove off the savages, who however
soon rallied, and were preparing to storm
the small party on all sides. The SERGE
ant, in taxing his brain for an expedent
by which to convey intelligence of the
desperate peril in which bis party
was placed, took single dog which had
accompanied tho party, fastening to bis
collar note written with pencil, in
forming the commander at the fort Of his
situation, took tin cup in which he put
some pebbles. which were confined with
piece of cloth over the top. fastened
it with string to the dogs tail, and star
ted The dog loose, knowing that he would
in his alright, run to the fort. He dash.
ed with his greatest speed to Fort De-
fance; the note was discovered and read.
Straightway a party was sent to the res
cue, and arrivedjust in time to save the
lives Of the whole party. This sergeant
justly merits a commission, which we
hope will be awarded him by the Presi-
dent.-Rentucky F1dg.

In the late meeting Of Synod. the cause of
Domestic Missions received considerable atten-
tion. Rev. Jno. l.. Girardeau presented the
Annual Report, giving a summary of what each
Presbytery is doing. From this it was appar-
emit, that nearly six thousand dollars had been
contributed for Domestic Missions oy 'he
churches of Synod. The scheme OF employing
Evanoe,ists is now in operation in two Presbyte'
ries and the other two only lack the men u
adopt the same.
Foreign Missions likewise engaged the at'en'
ton of Synod. The sermon was preached o'
Rev. 8. L. Watson ; and the Rev. d. Z. frier
son is to succeed him next year. The annaa'
contribution to this cause is usually more man
six thousand dollars from the churches OF oyn-
Cd. Il was resolved THAT it be
n NIL the ministers of this Synod, to present III
on their churches, on the 23rd of December the
subject of the Reformation, as to It's causes
d~octr;nes and effects, in order thus 10 cou'mep-
ora.e the Ter, centenary of the first meeting OF
the General Assembly of the Church OF Scot
land, the precious germ from which almost all
the Presbyterian churches of England Ireland
and America have sprung"
Besides preaching in the Glebe st. church
every night, and three times on the Sabbath
there were preached thirty-one Presbyterian
ssrmons in the city on the Sabbath--all the pull
pits except the Episcopal, Unitarian. Jewish
and Catholic, having been filled by ministers Of
Synod by request of their pastors. The various
Christian denominations have all large churches
in the city, and the most of them are deVot'ng
special attention to the blacks; but in this en-
terprise the Presbyterians, Baptists and Metho'
dists are leading the way. Not having definite
information of what the last two are doing, We
are free to say that Presbyterisnism has a no
ble representative, among churches chiefly de-
signed for blacks, in the Mt. Zion Church. Of
which Rev. Jno. L. Girardeau is pastor. 1t has
a membership of four hundred blacks, and about
seventy whites.
