A CAT SToRY.-There is a popular supersti- tion that cat, if allowed the opportunity, will suck the breath of child, though how this is accomplished is not apparent Cats are sub- jected to much suspicion, and, indeed, no animal petted by man is at once so much admired and detested. A circumstance came to our knowl- edge, recently, says the American Union, which seems to indicate that the numerous charges made against the feline race are not altogether unfounded. The other evening, at residence only few miles from Boston, Q cat was discov- cred sitting upon the chest of little boy four years of age, her mouth placed close to the child's lips, and the cat evidently very much ab- sorbed in the operation. An effort was made to drive the cat away by speaking sharply to her. She paid no attention to this, and was equally was finally pushed off the body of the child and off the bed, but could not be driven in the usual way. She had bewildered and wild look all the time, and exhibited sign of ferocity by springing on the servant, who was forcing her down the stairs.
 The cat was instantly killed, as warning to all other cats not to be too intimate with sleep ing children. The little boy woke up during the noise made, and was naturally somewhat fright ened. He did not seem to injured.
 Though no harm was done, evil might have ensued had not the cat been discovered and re- moved. Her weight on the childs chest would necessarily reduce the quantity of air inspired, and tend to cause suffocation while the child would inspire only carbouic acid gas as taken from the mouth of the cat. These two causes might produce death even. They may have ori ginated the superstition that cat "sucks the breath of child" The case is interesting and novel, and should put some parents on their guard against the treacherous and stealthy pets with which their children play.

A YANKEE SETTLER IN FIRGINIA-A gentle man from Western New York, visited Manassas, found near there an old townsman, who emigra- ted to Virginia some years ago. The Yankee Virginian, who had been virtually imprisoned in his own house since July, said:-
 "Now, you must go right home with me. l am Union man. 1don'tknow anything that's happened since the battle of Bull Run. have been shut up in my house and yard. I haven't seen newspaper since the middle of July. All l heard is what l overheard the rebels say, when they were cutting off my corn and things, and perhaps they knew and perhaps not. You see I was Harry Clay Wbig, and so l was sus. pected character, and after the battle of Bull Run, every man had to enlist or show cause why not, and swear allegiance. 1 was arrested and taken before a sort of court and neighbor oi mine, who is good secessionist, stepped up and swore was all right, as sound on the goose as any, and so they let me off and then he came to me, and says he, Now, neighbor, don't you open your head about anything! You stay al carry off your corn, let lem have it." And so have stayed in the house since. I have had a hundred Rebel soldiers at one time in my barn husking corn and carting it off to the army They came whenever they pleased, in the day time, and took whatever theys wanted. They have driven off all my COWS, and horses and mules, except two old horses. They have carried off about thousand dollars worth of corn They have taken all my wagons and shovels and tools, except one lumber wagon which took to pieces and hid under some straw. Why, it's been for me and my family just like living in a cellar for seven months. This is the first day that I have been outside of my gate since last sum. mer."

PREACHING OTHER MEMS SERMONS.

PREACHING OTHER MEMS SERMONS.
 At sherifrs court in London, the case oi Rogers VI Havergal" was tried before Mir Kerr. The plaintiff was retired clergylam, and the defendant the vicar of Cople vicarage, in Bed. ford. Mr. Hudson of French street buildings stated for the plaintiff that the action was brought to recover @ los for twenty sermors sold and delivered to defendant Mir. March mont, agent to the plaintiff stated the defendant ordered, on the 25th of April, 1859, a sermon upon the Thanksgiving for the termination of the Indian war;" price 2s Sd. This was sent, and subsequently defendant wrote for several sermons, and twenty were sent upon general subjects. Since the defendant wrote for spe< cial sermon upon the re-opening of his church. and for this he paid El. A number ot letters were read by Mir. Hudson, and in one defendant was surprised that 50 many sermons nad Deeh sent, but he would "look them over and Keep what suited him." The letter provoked great laughter and surprise, such phrases as stock sermons |" what have you in stock ?" and "send me SO and so," occurring SC frequently that his honor called the business sermon manufacto- rv." Plaintiffs agent remarked that many cler- eymen had four or five sermons week to preach besides Bible classes, and it was impossible to give original sermons. The sermons were litho- grapneQ Tn sets or tllrCy. .ai H
 His Honor" Then, if went into two or three churches on one Sunday, might stand the chance of hearing the same sermon at each ?"
 Plaintiffs Agent" Precisely"
 In answer to the claim, defendant produced g circular sent to him by plaintiff, and contended that he had returned the sermons. A desultory conversation ensued, and plaintiff agent observ- ed, that sermons fetched all prices, and some as high as G5 5s. |. e...l}'
 His Honor" What sermons fetch s5 5s.
 Mr. Marchmont-"A bishops charge or an arch.deacon's address"
 His Honor-"D Do you manufacture bishops charges?"
 Witness-"I can produce a man who has written them"
 His Honor-"W What would sermon before the Lord Mayor cost?"
 Witness" From e3 9s to 95 5s"
 His Honor-(to Mr. Hudson, who is a com. mon councilman J." There is no knowing where our sermons come from"
 Mr. Hudson-"I was not aware of it till to- day"
 Defendant then urged that he had returned the sermons, and complained of the price. but it was shown that he had paid ten shillings for four thereby admitting the price; that he had kept the sermons for very long time and that plain tiff had not received them back even now. De- fendant said that even in the case of the sermons paid for, he had to re-write them before he could preach them.
 His Honor-." Perhaps you picked out the tidbits (much laughter.) I must hold that you did not return the goods within a reasonable time, and find for plaintiff for tue full amount, with costs for attorney"
