oxisms of rage, accompanied with great
deal of profanity. A desperate attempt
was made to discharge one Of tho IL
pouuder guns, which was loaded With
grape, among our men, but the design
was thwarted. By the time the last
prisoner was secured, the storm had
ceased, and shc moon began to gleam its
sivery light upon the romantic but to
the prisoners disagreeabls scene. 1t was
one o'clock, and the losg and weary
march of thirty.two miles ovsr such diff.
fcult roads had well.nigh exhausted even
the energies of these iron men Of the
West. After rebuilding the bridge over
Bayou Rapides, which tho rebels Lad
partially destroyed, Gen. Mover, having
accomplished his object, pushed on five
miles aud encamped for the night. Start
ing on his return At dsybreak Tuesday
morning, the expedition reached Alex,

troops marching with % much apparent
elasticity as though on their return from
short review.

Whom do we study to please in the

On another side of this subject it may
be stated that it is not possible for man
to be careless in business affairs, or un-
mindful Of his business obligations, with.
out being weak or rotten ia bis personal
character. Show ME man who never
pays his notes when they are due, and
who shuns the payment Of his bills when
it is possible, aud does both these things
as habit, and shall see man whose
moral character is, beyond question bad.
We have had illustrious exam pes Of this
lack of business exactucss. We have
had great men who were in tho habit Of
borrowing money without repaying it..
We have had great men whose business
habits were simply andalous-Nhe new
er paid 4 bill unless when urged and
worried. and who axpended for their
personal qualification every cent of money
they could lay their hands upon. These
delinqueneies have been spologized for
as smoug the eccentricities Of genius, or
as that unmindfulness of small affairs
which naturally attends all greatness Of
intellect and intellectual effort but the
world has been too easy with them, alto
gether. l could name great men--ahd
the names Of some Of them arise before
tho readers Of this letter-who are afro.
ciously dishonest. l do not care how
great these men we're. do not care
how many aniable and admirable traits
they possessed. They were dishonest
and untrustworthy men in their business
relations, and that simple fact condemns
them. l am ready to believe anything
bad Of q man who h,bitually neglects to
fulfill his business obligations. Such a
man is certainly rotten At heart. He is
not to be trusted with public response
bility, . rum bottle, or . woman.

A FoUn SroRY BIRDS NEsr.-Rev.
William Phipps, of Paxton, in recent
COMMUNICATION. to the Worcester Natu-
raj history Society, gave an interesting
account Of the difficulties encountered by
blue bird in rearing a family. The fe.
male member Of a pair of blue birds which
had built their neN upon his shed, was
ruthlcssly destroyed by cat, while she
was sitting upon her eggs. Her mate
mourned his loss for while, but before
long went away and came back after a
few days with second wife. The work
of nest building began, and soon wife
the second was also engaged in the
praiseworthy employment of incubation.
Bat, alas! she shared the fate of her pred.
ecessor. Notwithstanding the extreme
grief which this event caused the lack
less widower, he rallied in time and took
to himself mate, the third. Her history
was brief; it was the counterpart of that
Of the others. A fourth time the male
took mate and essayed house keeping;
and now the bird house having been
moved to place Of safety, their efforts
were successful and they were blessed
with family. In the autumn, when
the birds had departed, the nest was ex.
amined, and found to be curiosity in
deed 1t was . structure of the usual
diameter, but about seven inches high,
arranged in four stories, like pile of
coffee-cups or bowls. The fourth story
was of course empty, for its living occu-
pants had flown, but in each one of the
others there remained the eggs of each of
the deceased females, three eggs in each

Josh's ideas on the dog are elegantly
expressed, and We therefore lay before our
readers his dissertation on that all.impor.
taut-brapch of the animal kingdom:
Dogs are various 10 kind, and thanks
tu an awl.wize Providence, tha are vari-
US in number. Tha are the only animal
of the brute perswashun who have volen-
tarily left wilde stait Of natur and cum
under the flag Nv man. Tha are not vag.
abones BY chois, and luv tu belong tu
sumboddy.. This fac endecrs them tu us,
and hev alters rated the dog az about
tho seventh cuzin to the humin speshies.
Tha cant talk, but tha keu lick yure hand;
this shoze that their harts is in the p)aice
where uther folks tung is. Dogs 10 the
lump are useful, but tha are not always
profitable in the lump.
The Nufounlan dog is useful to saiv
childrin from drownin, but w hev got
tn hev pond Nv water and childrin run
min round cairlus or else the dog amt
profitable. Thare amt nuthin maid bord-
in Nufounlan dog. But tarriers are
useful to ketch rats, but the rats amt
profitable after yu hey ketched them
The sheperd dog is useful tn drive sheep,
to keep the dog biszy ain. pToiitaSis
not mulch. Lap dogs are very useful
but if yu don't hold them 10 yure lap aw
the time, tha aint profitable at all. Bul
dogs are extremely useful, but yu hev
got tu keep bull tu, or else yu cant make
eunyshing on the dog. lbe coach dog
is the most usefulest Of dogs l kno ov,
but yu hev got tn hev coach (and that
aint always pleasant, or yu cant realize
from the dog. Thus we see that while
dogs are generally useful tharo are times
when tha amt generally profitable.

dog, but with these two unfortunet cx-
ceptions it is dredful hard work for me

smoothed down the bump on his back,
and the sarpient ceases to wiggle when

Cow Killed by a Cat.

On Thursday last, a COW Owned by Mr..
Marshal Morrison, of Port Dalhousie.
Canada; was quietly taking her noon
siiesta on the street near his residence,
"chewins the cud Of sweet and bitter
fancy,' when some boys who we're play.
lug near by conceived the idea of having
some fun by tying cord to the animals
udder, and catching cat, they proceed
ed to put their scheme into execution.
As soon as the.cat was fastened the boys
left, and tho cat endcavored to follow
their example, when the tension on her
tail caused her TO scratch the COW, which
Immediately Jumped up and commenced
runnins and be.,wing at . fearful rate,
thc cat oil the time scratching and biting
the udder and legs, and this continued
until the COW fell down with exhaustion
and cut in the most fearful manner,
when the cat was liberated. The COW
died mex day. Iha owner threatens to
sue the parents Of the boys for damages,
as he considers it unjust that no should
lose the value of the animal through tho
mischevous pranks of the lads who re-
qure more CAD and less liberty.

that al. this will come to pass before the
next harvest is gathered to the graneries.

May and July. Government credit will
be firm for ten years after peace is de-
clared, when another war with old Eng

The Latest News,

We give elsewhere to day all the war news re-
ceived up to the time Of going to press. Our anti
cipations in our last of an immediate, desperate,
and prolonged struggle for the possession Of Peters
burg and Richmond, have proved true. The news
which we publish, condensed from the dispatches
in the Daily papers, shows that general conflict Is
going on, commencing on Friday last, and brought
on by an attack by Gen. Lee on the enemy. The
information thus fa= received is not clear or
satisfactory as we could desire. 1t seems that the
Confederates have lost portion Of their breast
works near Petersburg; but one of the dispatches
states that "the fight is going on we'll, and good
results are anticipated"
Gen. Hood has removed to the rear Of Sherman,
and at the latest dates he was on tho Atlanta and
West Point Road, some % miles beyond Atlanta
President Davis was with Gen. Hoods army on the
26th The army was expected to move very soon,
but the point aimed at was not known. The Geor-
gia papers seem to be in the dark on the subject.
We have nothing definite from the Valley. The
federal forces are said to have retired to Harrison
burg.
See news elsewhere.
