INathe days of Andrew Jackson, bis
Postmaster General, Amos Kendall,
wanting to know whereabouts was the
source Of the Tombigbee river, wrote for
the required information TO the postuas-
ter of a village on its course. Sir"
wrote the higher officer to the lower,
"this department. desires 10 know how
far the Tombigbee river runs up. Re-
spectfully &c." The reply was briefand
read thus: "Sir: The Tombigbee river
dosen't run up all; it runs down. Very
respectfully, &C." The PostmaSter-G GeD.
eral continued the correspondence inthiS
style: "Sir: Your appointmentr as
postmaster at--x-is revoked. You
will turn over funds, papers, &C., pera
taining to your Office, to your successor.
Respectfully, &C." The aepll under

this parting shot "Sir:: The revenues

Sept. 30, have been 95 cents it's ex.

A Beautiful sentiment.


SHORTLY after the departure Of the
amenied ,HebOr for India, be preached
n sermon which contained this beautiful
illustration: ma
''Lfe bears us on the stream Of a
mighty river. Our boat at first glides
down the narrow channel, through tho
playful murmurings of the little brook
and the bindings Of its grassy borders
The trees shed their blossoms over our
youne heads, the flowers seem to offer
themselves to the yonng hands we arc
happy in hope; aud grasp eagerly at the
beauty around Us, but the streams hurS
ries on, and still our hands are empty
Our course in youth aud manhood is
along deeper and wider food, among
objects most striking and magnificent.
We are animated at the moving pictures,
and enjoyment and industry around US
We are excited at some short>loved disap~
pointment. The stream hoIr as on, and
our grio 60 are alike left behind us. We
msy be ship wrecked but we caunot bO
delayed, whether rough or smooth, the
river hastens on till the roar of the ocean
is ~ our ears, and the tossing of the waves
is beneath our feet, and the foods arc
lifted up around US and we take oufleavO
of earth and its inhabitants until7of our
future voyage there is no witness, cave

in the Corps Legisatif that the French Empe-
ror has adopted policy which comedies with
the views and desires Of the Clerical party
This impression is strengthened by the tone of

RAILROAD CASE Some time ago COW

Of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne" and Chicago
railroad in one of the northern counties Of this
State, ran upon the track in front of an advan-
chg train, throwing the train off the track, badly
wrecking it, and injuring several persons The
railroad company sued the owner of the COW
for the full amount Of damage caused the train
by the accident, and recovered 10 the lower
court verdict for 81, 0OO Anappeal was taken
by the farmer to the Supreme Court of Indiana,
and on Tuesday last the court affirmed the
verdict Of the court below holding the farmer
for the full amount of the $4,000 damages
assessed This is an important decision, as it
holds that persons living upon the lines of rail-
roads In this State cannot allow their stock to
run at large so as to endanger the safety Of
passing trains, without being legally obliged.
for all damages that may ensue from such stock
being run over and throwing the trains off the
