l5s1rs an Extra, headed, clay Rake
Swindlers Come to Grief" detailing
some of their operations in that and ad-
joining counties, and the arrest of a
portion of the gang of swindlers and
their incarceration in Jail. Before the
gang was broken up they had swindled
parties in single county to the amount
of $4,000 to $4,000. They show a
model of the hay rake, and sell right
for 500 cash, If they can get it; if not,
q note for the amount is taken, with the
assurance that nothing will be required
till the party purchasing shall have sold
rights to the value of 5000. The note
secured, it is speedily disposed OF and
other dupes sought out. The swindle
has probably received quietus, for a
time at least.

I. rh0ra 4 HOrsa Heaven I

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his
story in the New York Ledger, discusses
the question, through two Of his favorite
characters, in the following quaint man
ner:
~ tell you" said Hiram, turning
slightly toward the doctor, these horses
are Jest as near human as is good for
EN-. A good horse has sense jest as
much as a man has; and he's proud too,
and he loves to be praised, and he knows
when you treat him with respect. A
good horse has the best pints Of man,
without his failin's. "
"Whst do you think becomes of horses,
Hiram, when they die p said Rose,
"Wal, Miss Rose, it's my opinion that
there's use for horses hereafter, and that
you'll find there a horse heaven. There S
Scripture for that, too"
'Ah" said Rose, little surprised at
these confident assertions What Scrip
ture do you mean p
"Wby, in the book Of Revel stions
Don't it give an account of white horse,
and red horse, and black horses, and
gray horses? I've alters s'posed that
when it said Death rode on pale horse,
it must have been gray, cause it had
mentioned white once already. In the
ninth chapter, too, it says there was
an army of two hundred thousand horse
men. Now, should like to know where
they got SO many horses in heaven if
none of EN- that die off here go there 2
It's my opinion that good horses a

An Incident Of the War.

When jackson was moving on to strike
McClelIans flank on the Chickahominy,
be came to a stream which had no
bridge, and could not be crossed without
one. The General had brought with him
from the Valley rough, uneducated
man, full of energy, who had served him
in emergencies, and in whom he had the
utmost confidence. He called this man
and told him that the stream must be
bridged Immediately the regular engi-
neers were also advised Of the fact In
a short time the rough carpenter and the
polished men Of science were at the
stream the former had his plan, the
latter theirs; he wished to go at the work
at once without drawings, but they OBJ
jeeted until they could perfect the plans
on paper. The engineers retired to their
tent to perfect paper bridge; the car
penter took his men and went to work to
make a real one. In very short time he
appeared at the Generals tent, and re-
ported, briefly, thus: General, that
bridge is done, but them pictures amt
come yet. "-Erchange.

Radicals have a right to establish Negro Sai

sacred bulwark which nstimcs of political ex-

Trial Of Mr. Davis.

Mr.. Evarts, for the Government, said the
intention. of the Government wns to try the
Davis case sonao day this term. One consider
alton in fixing tho day was the time when
Chase would attend here, and tho Government
proposed to name day, after the adjournment
Of tho Supreme Court, for this trial, when
Chase could sit with Underwood. Evarts sug-
gested the fourth Monday in March. O'Conor
said the personal convenience of Mr.. Davis
would have been promoted if that had taken
place in May last, and it would be very con-
ven ;cnt now, but his counsel would agree to the
proposition of Evarts. lie thought the pre-
sonce of Chase would be beneficial, not alone
to the interests of tho accused, but to all in
terests. Judge Underwood said the arrange
ment proposed by the Government was agree
able to the Court, and particularly because the
Court earnestly desired that Judge Chase
should sit upon the case. 1t was due to the
defendant that two Judges should sit in the
case, in order that an appeal might be taken
on disputed questions, aud the case carried up
by defendant to higher Court. The Judge
agreed to fix the goth OF March for the trial
and, on application of Mr.. O'Connor, to extend
Mr.. Davis bail bond until that time; and
further agreed, if Judge Chase could not pre-
side then, to extend tho leave of absence till
the term following. The order of extension Of
leave of absence for Mr.. Davis, and fixing the
22d March for the trial, was entered by order
of the Judge, and Mr.. Davis trial ended for
this term. Mr.. Davis did not appear in Court
Three witnesses, who came into Court, Elk
Secretary Seddon, Ex-Governor Letchcr and

at the next term.
Seddon, Lctcher, and several other witnesses
for the Government, were before the Grand
Jury to-day, which shows that Mr.. Davis vii
