A JOLLY fIME.-There was high old
time yesterday on the corner of Vine
and Third Streets. AT 9 o'clock or be :
fore, men full of benevolence and pat
riotsm, began to assemble, with saw
bucks aud saws, and axes, prepared to
make an onslaught upon the monstrous
pile of wood donated by the farmers of
Fanderburgh county, on Saturday last,
to the families of soldiers.
Kratz & Heilman, with that noble pub
lie spirit, and generous benevolence that
distinguish them, sent to the ground q
steam engine, and a circular saw and
hands to work it This was placed with
in the center of the lot, and the work at
once commenced.
e The handsome and dignifed Council
man, from tie Sth Ward, Fred. W. Cook
came bearing on his shoulders a saw
buck and saw, and his wagon brought
half barrel of his choicest beer, which
was deposited at the entrance of the lot,
and which was dealt out literally to
those who welded the saw and axe.
By 10 o'clock, at least one hundred
persons were on the ground, and the
work went bravely on.
E. We have neither time nor space to
mention all who were there by name, but
we never saw men work with more ener-
gy or eheerfulness, or more effectively.
Jest and repartee flew thick and fast,
and the saw and the axe kept time with
both, and the pile Of nice, fine split wood
grew with unparalleled rapidity 1t was
labor of love, and each seemed to vie
with the other 10 do the most

NEW WAY TO MAKE MONEY.

The latest development for making
money occurred last week in New Hamp-

Hancock, where hemet with All accident"

ously injured" to the amount of $40
which was paid by the town to settle it.
He soon recovered" however, and call
ing his name Cove, went to Stoddard,
where the highways were equally bad,
met with another accident, got $25, o
doctors bill, and two days board bill
out of the town, when he was again "con-
valescent," and went to NARROW. At this
place the roads were worse than ever, and
he was thrown with great force down a
terrible precipice where he lay till he
thought mo one would ever come after
him." At last he was found grunting and
groauing, 'and taking on" like man
on the town, and scarcely able to gasp
his name as George Bell, was taken up
aud carried to the nearest place, doctor
sent fur who found him in great agony, and
was about to bleed him. but the patient
had his senses sufficient to object to this,

the meantime Stoddard man happened
along and identified the man as Goye.
He went to Stoddard to make further in

things, so rapidly recovered that he stole

got his team. and started for parts un-,
known, though his back had been rubbed
and he complained bitterly an hour be-
fore. The Stoddard people arrived after
him at midnight, and though two hours
behind, they found and arrested him at
keene next day, when he disgorged the
amount he had received from that town.
His real name is ascertained to be George
Nichols, of Warner, "the son of his
father" a lawyer residing in that place.
He got nothing out of NARROW, and after
settling with Hancock, his enterprise will
probably be at an end.-B. r. Times.

STRATEGY OF THE YOUNG NAPOLEoNs.

STRATEGY OF THE YOUNG NAPOLEONs.
The street corner and Preside strate-
gists have a splendid field for their wits
at present The situation in Virginia is
sufficiently complicated and indefinite to
make strategical speculation delightfully."-
easy and dismally profound. Nothing
is known about the location of Lees army
and little about Hooker's. Nobody knows
what Lees plans are and nobody can
tell how Hooker proposes to circumvent
them. No one has any idea how large
force the rebels have at Richmond, or
what means have been adopted for the
defence of that place aud nobody knows
whether or no Reyes. Dix, Peck g. Co.
have any designs against it. Furnished
with this stock of ieronance, and armed
with one of those awful maps with
which our cotemporaries SO frequently
adorn their columns, it is easy for the
stratcgist to show how Hooker should OPP
crate against and defeat Lee--how Reyes
should capture Richmond-and how Hook
er, by grand coup, might smash the re-
belion and end the war--marching into
Washington with Lee in chains, antique
fashion. and hundred thousand rebel
captives following in the rear r. 3.
Say, for instance, that Lees army, niner
ty thousand strong, which the telegraph
declares it to be- located in the Shcnan-
doah Valley, in the Loudon Valley, or by

or has an army of equal number and of

or at Fairfax Courthouse, or still nearer
to the Potomac. Say that Heintzleman
