a Good Yankee Invention.

Itis not by any means s curious thing
for 3 Yankee to make 8n invention :;
yet, 1t Is somewhat so to find shat said
invention is of apractical, useful nature; !;
for oat Of the many thousands Of pat
ents which are yearly issued from
Washington, not more than one in .
dozen ever amounts TO anything or is
ever heard Of afterwards. Among the
class ofprCcticG{ patents issued IN 1860,
was one fol- q neat, self-epen.ng and
closing Garben Gate, TO our follow

ed Bakers Automatic Garden Gate"
and We are free il saying that the Van
kee TFss quite at home, il whose brain
that little convenient affair was conccc-
ted, for itrealIy appears human; aud we
must say IN Gll oandor that it beats any
thing, in the gate line, that we ever
saw. It is so constructed that as YOU
walk toward 1t and step upon the plat
5orm the gate quietly opens, without
being touched, then If closes after you;
the weight Of 8 person acting upon the
platform gives the motive power, and
does the business. It IS also SO con-
strUeted shat the SNOW in winter, can
not clog it up, or obstruct it's action;
it is, in short, a great dosideratum in
the gate line, and will no doubt be
largely adopted by the people, espec-
ialy the farmers, as it is very easily
and oheaply constructed. Nj. Baker
has also large gate arranged, upon
the same principle, that admits Of the
passage Of q team and wagon through
it, or, . person on horseback, may pass
through at pleasure; at the same time
It is so arranged as TO forbid the pas
sage Of cattle, hogs or sheep, without
the aid ofa bua,aa7o. Mr.. s. informs
Us that he will also apply it to Railroad
crossings, to keep cattle from the track,
admitting the passage of trains under
full speed without tie least inconven-
ienceor obstruction, opening as the train
approaches and closing after it has
passed through. Ifhe succeeds in do
ing this successfully, who will say that
it is not practical, useful and iInpor-
tant invention Waaskegao Gazette.

ABUSING IHcIDEHr.-Tho Cuban
Messenger, the English paper at Ha-
vana, has the follwiDg:
rs white drayman was furiousIy
beating his lank, baIEstarvod mule,
near Government Square, Havana, on
Monday 9Th, he was astounGed TO hear
the animal exclaim:
Enough! you brute!''
The drayman looked aghast, and
searched under his dray and around
his mule to find the origin Of his sepul-
chra, voice, when again he was horri-
fed to hear from the animal, to al aD-
poarances:
''You are brGte!" (.27re8 2t5est5G.}
The drayTn2n was dumbfounded, and
trembIed ike an aspen Leaf, and dropped
his whip as if stung by ST. adder He
blessed himself, and was about falling
on his knees, when he again heard:
Il was your rothor CONGO upon g
time."
This capped the climax, and gen
tlom2n from the crowd that had gath
cred around, endeavored 10 explain -
the terror stricken dTaynan, that some
times diaenbodisd spirits return to the
world in the form Of animals. Just at
this moment SigDor Blitz, accompanied
by his two friends, who had been look-
ing on the strange scene, and enjoying
the fun, adjourned to the Union Coffee
House, on the neigbboring corner. and
left the crowd endeavoring to induce
the animal to speak again, and the
drayman embracing the mule N most
fial manner.
