A LUCKY L1rERATEUR.-It is said that
j. Milton Sanders, who formerly resided
here, has disposed of his right to the noted
Water Gas Patent for the United States
for $930,000; and has sold his right in
Cuba for 100000. He has now applied
for patcntin England and other countries,
and if he succeeds, he will be the richest
man in the United States.-D Dayton Emp
A QUEER ORDER TO AN ExPREssMAN.-
The following is a copy Of an order to an
expressman, received day or two since -
"Seud me 10 gallons of your best gin for
$40. want it for my mothers wake and
funeral. She is on her last breath. Some
times she knows us and sometimes she
don't. Send this evening, precisely
Boston Traveller.
FATAL CAsUALTY.-Mr. John Lore, of
Knox county, descended into a well few
days ago, to recover a lost hat, and fell life
less at the bottom from foul air. A neigh
bor who went to his aid was also overcome
but was drawn out alive. Strange that
people will continue to enter wells without
first applying the test of lighted candle.
LAND FOR THE PEoPLE.-Thc Commit
tee on Agriculture, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, have instructed Mr.. Grow to re-
port Homestead Bill. The new bill COW
ers all the land subject to pre-emption, and
extends the right TO all who are now set
tiers, as well as those who may hereafter
settle.
In pursuance with previous notice, the
shoemakers of Lynn, Marblehead, Natck,
and other towns in Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire, struck for higher wages on
Wednesday. The Boston Herald approves
the strike on the ground that the wages OF
workmen have been very much reduced
lately, and are one hundred per cent. lower
than they should be, and wholly INSULT
cient to provide decent support.
Irish laborers are to be excluded from
Virginia. The Virginia & Tennessee Rail
road Co. advertise for three hundred able
bodied negroes, to worku upon the repairs ofthe
road next year.
1t is noticeable that when the resolution
of eulogy for the late Mr. Broderick was be.
fore the United States Senate, Mr. Douglas
never opened his lips, although he wa;
present. The deceased was one of Doug
las most earnest supporters, the duel in
which be fell having grown out of the polit
ical dispute between him and the admins
traton. Comment is unnecessary.
They tell a story of the mother of Cassi
us M. Clay, venerable Kentucky matror
of eighty years old or thereabouts, TO thi,
effect: She was told of a report which haC
got abroad, that the jealous pro-slavery mer
of the county in which her son lives, had
given him notice to quit. "They need moi
give Cassius notice to quit" said the reso
lutte old lady, "he will not 60, and for my
part had rather see him without his head
than hear of his desertng the post of duty
Five years since a farmer in Illinois, not
withstanding all his neighbors insisted he
was playing the fool, set out on his farm
one thousand peach trees, and last year he
was offered ten thousand dollars for the
crop, which he afterwards sold in the lot fol
fourteen thousand dollars.
A great crisis is expected in the East
Turkey is swarming with secret societies
and the moment Russia gives the signal
they will rise and overthrow the Ottoman
empire. The Greeks were never more ac-
lively and secretly engaged in this enter
prise than they are at the present moment
France, as well as Russia, favors them.
