A Story is told OF Dick, darkey OF
Kentucky, who is a notorious thief: so
vicious in this respect that all the thefts in
the neighbOrhood were charged 10 him.
On one occasion, Mr.. Jones, a neighbor OF
Dicks master called and said that Dick
must be sold out ofthat part OF the coun-
try, for he had stolen all his (Jones9 tur-
keys. Dicks master, could not think so,
The two however, went to the field where
he was at work and accused him of the dis
puted theft.
''You stole Mr.. Jones turkey" said the
master
mo, didn't massa, responded Dick.
The master persisted.
WELL" at length said Dick, "I''l tell
you, maSsa, | didn't steal dem turkeys,
but last night 1 went across Mr.. Jones
pasture, and I seed one of your rails on
de fence, so l Brought home do rail, and
confound it when l come TO look das as
nine turkeys, on de rail.
A drunken soldier, who was arrested at
Providence, Rhode Island, one day last
week, was found to have in his Over-coat
pocket bona fide certificates of $4,000
shares, worth $3, OOO, 600, in silver mining
company As he knew nothing about
them, it is supposed that they were put in
his pocket by the thief who stole them
from the Office, when he found they could
not be turned into cash without leading 10
his detection.

Wonder is often expressed that the loss
OF life in large battles is so small. The con-
ditiOn of the $4,000 muskets captured at
Gettysburg may explain partly: OF these,
~, 900 were found to be loaded, 1900 con-
tanning two loads, and 5000 from three to
ten loads each. In numerous instances
half dozen balls were driven in on sim
gle charge Of powder. In some cases the
former possessor had reversed the usual
order, placing the ball at the bottom of the
barrel and the powder on top. Not unfre-
quently several paper cartridges were
packed above each other without being
torn or broken. One Springfield musket
contained % loads regularly arranged.

10 We learn that steps are being taken
among our business men for the organiza-
ton Of National Bank in this CITY. with
every prospect of success. 1t is almost
time something was done in that direction.
and we hail the effort az q useful and M
triotic one. A national currency is what
the people want, and Burlington certainly
ought to do its share towards supplying it.
When we succeed in driving out all other
currency, as we shall, the people will not
again be subject to the losses which have
been imposed upon them heretofore by
wildcat institutions in other distant States
Let US have one by all means.

EMIGRATION FROM CASADA.-The New

planning OF the large emigration that is
going on from the British provinces to the
United States, attracted by the great de i.
mand for labor. and the high bounties paid
to soldiers. The Messenger Joti,te. Cana
da East says over 5000 young men have
left Nova Scotia, and a still larger number
from Canada. tor the purpose of eniisting

The Iagulrc7. Of Three Rivers, &c. T.. J
says the authorities Of that little locality,
having learned that $40 men were engaged
by the farmers of the United States, have
beat the ban in the streets, to inform
those still disposed to leave, that upon ar
irving III the States, they will probably be
forced into the army. 1t is said this deter
red, for while, about 30, who had made
up their minds to emgrate. Subsequent
lv, however, $50 men left for ST. Louis,
where they were promised work at 325 to
$50 per month, high wages to the minds of
Canadian laborars who nave been content
ed at home, heretofore, with 81 to 8 per
