A WATER FIGHr-I saw at Ceylou
what the people call water fight, between
two competitors, for a, dark-eyed maid +;
one Of the lovers, the challenger, being
highly exasperated by jealousy, They
stood up to their knees in the lake, oppo-
site each other; and, with their hands,
constantly dashed the water in curious
and expert Manner into each other
faces. Saw the combatants thus q can
scarcely say hotly) engaged, about nine in
the morning; and at three in the after
noon they were still hard at work, and
the buttle was then doubtful for, accord
ing to established rule, whichever of the
two warriors, no matter what may be the
pretence or cause, stops first, if it be only
for moment, dashing water at his adyer-
sary, is considered to be vanguishsd.-
Hundreds of people were locking on, APP
parently interested in the resalt; as he
who is thus overcome, as they assured me,
is never known to aspire to the hand OF

& Wonderful Discovery.

The stone ma~ous Engaged in laying
the foundation Of the new blacksmith shop
at the rolling mill Of Wood, Morrell & Co,
Johnstowu, Cambria county. iu breaking
u large sandstone ia two, the other day,
discovered frog, pressed as fat as cent,
and lying III crevice Of the cavity of the
stone, from which there was no, visible
outlet. ..... " r#
As SODA as it fell out it began tn manifest
symptoms OF life, and before one hour, it
was as large, plump and lively as any 9TH
or frog 1t appears, however to be. blind
at present., but, as the eyes appear perfect
1t may regain its. sight. The rock from
which it Was taken was quarried from some
of the spurs Of Laurel Hill, about thir-
ty years ago, when the Pennsylvania canal
was constructed, and built in wall, where
it remained till few days ago, when it
was removed to be put in the foundation
before mentioned.
OF the real age of his frog ship, says the
Johnstown Democrat, we are in entire ig-
torrance. 1t may be pre-Adamite, an
antedilnvian or a postdiluvian, or it may
be mlllinnarian or even centenerian. =
The rock is loose sandstone formation,
c arse in the grains aud of rusty color,
aud may be very ancient. As there was
no crevice in the stone except the bed in
which it lay, it certainly has been there
for The last thirty years, and it may have
danced at mother Ewes wedding for ought
we know.
If it was in prison when the Barons at
Runuemede extorted the Magma Charta
from King it John, must have experienced
thrill of joy upon the reception of such
cheering news, but then how depressed
the poor thing must have felt when he
learned that the trial by jury and the gen
eral Jail delivery therein secured was not
for frogs, If it could speak we would like
to ask it something about the origin Of the
Indian tribes found on this continent by
Columbus, and learn the. precise site of
the great town of Kickedapawling But
it cannot speak, and all the fame it can
ever acquire here below is that it will be
pronounced by all men the coolest inhab.
liant of the Western Continent now
known.

SIMPLICITY IN DREss. Those who
think in order to dress well, it is neeessa.
ry to dress extravagantiy or grandly, make
a great mistake. Nothing SO well becomes
true feminine beauty as simplicity. We
have seen many remarkably fine person
robbed of its true effect by being over
dressad. Nothing is more unbcconing
than overlooking beauty, The stern sim
p!icity of the classic tastes is seen in the
old statues and pictures painted by men
of superior artistic genius. Iu Athens
the ladies' were not graudily but simply ar,
rayed, and we doubt whether any ladies
ever excited more admiration So also
the noble old Roman matrons, whose su.
perb forms were gazed on delightedly by
meu worthy of them, were always very
plainly dressed. Fashion often presents
the hues Of the butterfly, but fashion is
not "A classic goddess. .V 9--.-

HEAT FROM THE STARs--It is a start
ling fact that if the earth were dependent
alone upon the sun for heat, it would not
get heat enough to keep existence in ami
NAL or vegetable life upon its surface. 1t
results from the researches of Pnuillct that
the stars furnish beat enough in the caursc
Of the year to melta crust Of ice seventy.
FIVE feet thick--almost as much as is sup
piled by the sun This may appear
strange when We consider how inlmeasura-
bly, small must be the amount OF beat
FROM any one of those distant bodies
But the surprise vanishes when we remem-
Der that the whole ornament is SO thickly
sown With stars, that in some places thou
sands are crowded together within a space
no greater than that occupied by the full
moon. The eye cannot see more than a
thousand at the. same time, in the cieureet

On the breaking out of the rebellion, a
young married man 'iu this city yvlunte
ed in one Of our regiments, anu left a wife
and child under the projections of his
friends, while he went to try his fortune
in the field, His regiment was hotly en-
gagged at Stone river, and his name was
reported in the list Of killed. There
seemed to be no doubt of his death, as
several comrades declared they saw him
fall, and knew where he was buried.
The sad news Of his death was brought
home to his wife, aud after the bitter tears
of sorrow had fallen she became calm, and
as last rite due him, decided to have
his remains brought home for burial
Several kiud friends assisted her, and af-
ter time a metallic coffin arrived, cea-
tanning the supposed remains of her hus-
band. The bod y was in an advanced state
of decomposition, and the burial case was
not opened, but, after the usual funeral
services, was duly inferred in one of our
city cemeteries. No one had any doubts
as to his death in the manner stated, and
the young wife mourned his untimely
death with sincere grief. But after due
time her hand was sought in marriage by
very worthy young man.
The offer was accepted, and they we're
soon united, and have been living togeth-
er for the last four or FIVE months very
happily. But at last shadow has eclips-
ed their sunshine. A few days since an
exchanged prisoner, just from the South,
arrived in this city, and left message
from the supposed deceased husband tn
his wife, stating that he was alive and
well, and prisoner in rebel hands that
be was at length in daily expectation of
being exchanged, and he looked forward
to happy meeting with her at no distant
day. The situation of the lady aud her
husband with whom she is now living ca n
be better imagined than described. 1t is
supposed that the husband, at least, cons
siders it very unfortunate that at this late
day the first should have "turned up
