The Fxeitement at Lexington shout Lin
coin Guns.


coin Guns. an
rhe telegraph gives US tbs Louisville Oou-
-ier s account of ths excitement in Lexington
when the guns and muqitions of war for the
United States Camp, in Garrard county, pass
ed through that town. We have another
account, from more Trustworthy source, Of
the particulars of that affair. It appears
there was lively sensation when it was
known that the guns had arrived on the
Louisville train John @ Breekinridge is
reported TO have said, that if he had fifty
men, be would show the Lineolnites about
taking :hose guns through town. Presently
Il ere was eomm0tion The secessionists
sounded the alarm ~ blowing horn, and
rushed to their armories. The Union Home
Guards gave the alarm By ringing bell,
and repaired to their armories In a few
minutes the streets were full Of armed men,
who were running in all directions, loading
their guns as they hurried TO the places of
rendezvous. The man who was TO receive
the guns and take them out to camp was in
this time cool as cucumber. When told
that be might have trouble, he said that he
sad anticipated an excitement and had pro-
vided for contingencies by having an escort
at hand. Sure enough it was not long be-
fore two hundred United States cavalry made
their appearance, and it was known thai fye
hundred United St tes infantry were not far
of Then Mr.. Breckinridge was not so snx-
inus as he had been 70 stop the guns with
ffy men, and became a member Of tie
peace party" So the guns, &C., were put
into the wagon and taken to their destina-
tion.-G Gaeiaa1ii Commercial.

For THE CURIoUs.-The greyhound runs
by eyesight only, and this we assert as a
fact. The carrier pigeon flies on his two
hundred and fifty miles journey homeward
by eyesight viz: from point to point of the
object which he has marked-but this is
only our conjecture. The fierce dragon-fy,
with twelve thousand lenses in his eye, darts
from angle to angle with the rapldity of a
flashing sword, and as rapidly darts back ;
not turning in the air. but with clash
reversing the action of his wings, and in
Simultaneously calculating the distance of the
objects, or he would dash himself to pieces
But in what conformation of his does this
consist? No one can answer.
A cloud of ten thousand gnats dance up
and down in the sun-the mlnutest interval
between them-yet no one knocks another
headlong upon the grass, or breaks leg or
wing long and delicate as theirs are. Suddenly
amidst your admiration of this matchless
dance-a peculiarly high h-shouldered vicious
gnat, with long, pendant nose, and settling
on your checks, inserts poisonous sting.
What possessed the little wretch to do this +?
No one knows.
