The Horrors Ofa Night Ride in
~ Stage Coach.

The San Francisco Bulletin has the
following: "One day last week, as the
Los Angeles and San Jose stage coach
was travelling in the night between
San Luis Obispo and Santa Bar
bara, an incident occurred which pro-
duced anything but pleasant impress
sion among the passengers. a lady
was occupying one of the front seats,
and the whole comi,amy had been talk
ing and singing ip, the most sociable
manner. After l'me the lady set
tied down as if to go to sleep, and one
of the gentlemen passengers asked her
if she would not have a pillow under
her head. She made no reply, and
the company INDUCED in another song
AS the song ceased, one of the passen-
gers opened the curtain so as to let in
the moonlight, and looking down at
the face of the woman, exclaimed,
"Why, can it be that she sleeps with
her eyes open ?" Another passenger
placed his hand upon her forehead,
and cried out, "She is dead ~ The
stage was stopped, and theinanimate,
pulseless form of the lady carried out
in the open air. She was deathly cold,
and her face was wet with the cold
sweat supposed to gather only on the
face of the dying. After so long a
time passing that all hopes Of life re-
naming was given up, she recovered
under the vigorous rubbing with
whisky, in which all the passengers
had engaged, and the journey was
finally resumed. 1t turned out that
the lady was only afflicted with heart
disease, and had the discovery been
delayed a little longer, she would have
been past all human aid" ..r..

The wise and gifted Josh Billings
tenders to all whom it may concern
the following eXccllentadvice: "Don't
court for mummy, nor buty, nor rela-
shuns; those things are just about as
the Kerosene lie refining Dizziness
liable to git Of repair an bust at any
minnit. Court gal for fun, for the
luv you bare her; court her for a wife
or for mother; court her as you
would a farm, for the site and perfec-
ton for title; court her as tho she
wasn't fule and you another; court
her in the kitchen, over the wash-tub,
and Mt tho p!anner; court her in this
way, young man, and ifyou don't get
a wife the fault won't be in the court
in."

The New Five Cent Coin.

The act which has passed both
Houses of Congress to authorize the
coinage of five cent pieces, provides
that the new five cent piece shall be
composed of copper and nickel, not
exceeding twenty-five per cent. of
nickel. The coin is to be a legal
tender to the amount of one dollar,
and redeemed when presented in suins
Of not less than one hundred dollars.
1t is proposed to make this coin exact
ly 5 grammes or II 16-100 grains in
weight. Three coins will weigh one
half of an ounce, and will be conve-
nient in the pocket for postage weight
The law also prohibits the issue OF
fractional notes less than ten cents af-
ter the passage of this act. The color
and appearance of this coin will be
similar to the three cent coin authorized
by act of March 3, 1865.

Bread and Butter.

Han, in his Journal of Health, gives
the following bit Of wisdom:
Bread and butter are the only arti-
cles of food of which we never tire,
from early childhood to extreme old
age. A pound of fine flour or Indian
meal contains three times as much
meat as one pound of butchers roast
beef; and, if the whole product Of
grain, bran and all, were made into
bread, fifteen per cent. more Of nutri-
ment would be added. Unfortunately,
the bran, the coarsest part of which
gives soundness to the teeth and
strength to the brain, is generally eX-
cluded. Five hundred pounds of -four
give to the body thirty pounds Of the
bony aliment, while the same quanti-
ty of bran gives more than one hun
dred and twenty-five pounds.
This bone is lime, the phosphate Of
lime, the indispensable aliment Of
health to the whole human body, from
the want OF which multitudcs of per-
sons go into q general decline. But
swallowing phosphate in the shape Of
powders, or i'm sirups to cure these de-
clines, has little or NJ effect. The artl-
cles contained in these phosphatcs
must pass through natures laboratory ;
be subject to her manipulations in
alembics specially prepared by Almighty
power and skill in order to frame. In
palmer phrase, the shortest, safest and
infallible method ofgiving strength to
the body, bone and brain, thereby ar
+ resting disease and building up the
constitution, is to cat and digest moro
, bread made out Of the whole grain,
whether wheat, corn, rye or oats.

HEAVY BUsINEss.-Thc Copper
head papers are occupied principally
with long and heart-rending accounts
of how negro occupied a reserved
seat at some performance in a South
ern theater, or rode in a railway car,
like white folks. The objection seems
to be, not so much to the association
for the Southern nabobs.a always took
their niggers along as a sort OF exem-
plitier of gentility. What gravels
them now is, that the scoundrels ac-
tually have money, and pay for these
things, and so have right to them.

Letter from Illinois.


The Wheat Crop IN Illinois and Lndi-
ana Corn Waste IN Illinois Farm
ing-No Left Hand Plows--Health
&C., &.
NEA BUNKER HILL, ILL.,, May IL, 1860.
Mr.. ]. l.. BoARDMAN--DEAR SIR |:
AS have not received any commu-
nicatiOn or "News" from you since
my arrival here, it is suggested that
you are waiting for line from your
old subscriber. A word to the wise
should be sufficient. Even your usual
ly prompt p. NJ, seems to have for
gotten me.
We arrived all safe and weary, with
not much to complain of. Though
corporations are said to have no souls
we found their agents generally had
until we came upon the st. L. A. &
T. II. r. II. Here we failed to make
the discovery.
This is pretty country. The prai
rie in which Bunker Hill is situated
is perhaps 20 or 25 miles long, anC
about & in width. The r. r. run
length-wise thro' the center, as near a
can judge. One cannot see NOR
than about 5 miles each way, OWN,
to the rolling character Of the land
AS the farm-houses are on elevation
generally, you can see over quite
neighborhood.
AS your readers are much intercste
in the Wheat crop, especially in Ohio
let me say that through this sectio
the prospect is glorious, and sorAe {
the fields seem to have no boundar,
There is, to say the least, a quantit
sown in Wheat. In passing thro' Il
diana and eastern Illinois, 1 did n
see any fattering indications Of goc
crop.
OfCorn, need not say much. Thel
! is enough and to spare. "The birc
; without barns" feel perfectly secure i
. Il supply, and mice and rats are yer
Independent. There is enough ,Udste,
e of farm products and farm implemen
. on some of the farms here, to keep
large family comfortably.
Labor-saving implements are mut
sought after and much used, but vel
much abused. 1 have not found
9 left-hand plow in this region. Oh
2 man told me that there was OF
! brought here, but the man took
away with him. I'll have one or tw
if they have to come from Ohio.
: Every two-horse team that l ha'
seen was guided by check-lines, Il
> driver having them over his neck al
q shoulder.
: We are now needing rain vel
e much. Corn that is planted is doir
but little good. But a vast qua
! tity is yet to be planted.
:. AS yet have not heard as mut
: said about sickness as in your notC
: healthy Highland. Two or three cas-
of Chills I have heard of in few day
The change from heat by day and co
r nights seem to be greater here. B
!, lest L should weary you and yo
readers and sleep myself, please co
/ slider me subscrib as ever.
!, Yours, j. T. AYRES.

A Mammoth, still covered with its
skin and hair, was discovered some
time since in the frozen soil Of North
ern Siberia. The Academy of st. Pc
tersburg with the aid OF the0Prussian
Government, has sen distinguished
man of science to examine the animal.
1t is hoped that he may arrive before
decomposition is too far advanced, and
that view may be obtained of the
outer appearance Of the animal, and
also, from the contents of its stomach
of its natural food. The pre-historical
figure of the Mammoth, drawn on a
piece of ivory, found in a cavern OF
Perigord by M. Lartet, will then ad.

4 case has been tried before a full
jury Of negroes at Murfreesboro, Tenn.
A freedman threw a stone at another
freedman, who retaliatcd in kind,
shrinking his assailant in the head and
ihlicting a severe wound. The inlur-
cd man died, and the matter was
brought before the Freedman's Bureau,
and a trial was had, with twelve freed
men for jury. The accused was dis
charged. This is believed to be the
first case where a jury Of twelve black
men returned verdict In open court.

The Empress Eugene has achieved
another triumph. When she was first
made Empress, other Queens refused
to call upon her, regarding her as a
plebeian interloper. Victoria yielded
first, the Queen of Spain next, and
then the Queen of Portugal, now the
Empress of Austria, the proudest of
them all, is about to visit her,

The murder of Mr.. Lincoln has been
dramatized and perf0Aned at Mulhau-
sen. The piece is entitled "Le Vie ct
Mort d'Abraham Lincoln" and is di-
vided into seven tableaux. In the
fourth act Mr.. Jefferson Davis appears
upon the scene, and gives it as his
opinion that as long as Lincoln is per-
mitted to live the cause of the South is
lost, and exclaims "Who will get rid
of this man for us 2" az, replies his

Poetry.
HOME.

Homes not merely four square walls,
Though hung with pictures nicely Slldsdi
Home Is whore affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart hath buildsd.
Home go watch the faithful dove,
Sailing meath the heaven above us;
Home is where there's one to love
Home is where there's one to love us.
Homes not merely roof and room
Home needs something to endear lt;
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip to cheer iti
What is home with none to meet,
None to welcome, none to greet usi
Home is sweet, and only sweet,
When there's one we love to meet us.
