SAoAcITY OF A .HoRsE. An old family
horse that has been running at will through
the streets and commons lost one of his
shoes, and with the intelligence of hu-
man being, the old horse walked up to the
blacksmith's where he had been shod for
the last twenty years, and to the best of his
ability asked the smith to shoe him, by
raising his foot and stamping the ground.
The smith being busy, drove him away sew
eral times during the day, and thought
nothing Of 1t. The next morning on going
to the shop he found the old horse at the
door; again he drove him of, but the
horse came back, and entering the shop,
walked up to the anvil, and there raised
his foot, thus attracting the particular no
tice of the smith, who examined the foot,
and finding it worn off to the ''quick, .
kindly picked up an old horse shoe and
fitting il to his foot, nailed It on; when the
grateful animal frisking his tail by way of
thanks. trotted off contentedly. - Madison

Liberia.

The report of the condition of affairs in
this country, sent to Washington by Com
mander Jeffers Of the Swatara, is very in
teresting. The evidences of success in the
attempt to introduce civilization into Africa
are manifest to the visitor. The great
want, however, is capital, while another
obstacle has been that the greater part of
the immigrants have not been agricultural
laborers. Too many are from the Northern
cities, and Of mixed blood, and unable 10
stand the climate They resort to trading
with the natives for support For this
reason Liberia does not raise sufficient suit
able food 10 support the immigrant popu-
lation, and actually imports Il from the
United States. The Southern plantation
laborers succeed well. Universal suffrage
is considered injudicious, and only educated
persons are allowed to vote. Commander
Jeffers thinks II an impression Is TO be
made on Africa, It viii be through this coll
ony, which seems to be based ON Christian
izing and nioFaIizing principles, while the
other establishments are based on trade in
rum, gunpowder and muskets.

: PRESERVATION OF BUILDINGS FROM De
CAY, We have before adverted TO the use
of superphosphate Of lime and barytes in
protecting calcareous stone from the cor
rosive action ofthe sulphuric acid liberated
by burning coal Another method adapted
to the preservation Of any stone surface,
and much used lately, is the application Of
several coats Of soluble glass This has
now been tried on many Ly0e edi6ces in
France, England, Germany, &c., with
gratifying success--forming transparent
coating, which does not deface the stone

How TO MAKE TOMATO FIGs. Pour boil
ing water over the tomatoes in order to re-
move the skins; then weigh them and place
them in stone jar, with as much sugar as
you have tomatoes, and let them stand two
days, then pour off the syrup, and bol and
skim it until no scum rises. Then pour it
over the tomatoes and let them stand two
days as before; then boil and skim again.
After the third time they are fit to dry, if
the weather is good If not, let them stand
in the syrup until dry weather Then place
on large earthen plates or dishes, and put
them in the sun to dry, which will take
about week, after which pack them down
in small wooden boxes with fine white su-
gar between each layer. Tomatoes prepar-
ed in this manner will keep for years
IsRoRTs AND PRICES or WooL. The N.
Y. Economist states, that the imports of
foreign wool at New York, for the first half
of the year, are only about half the guam
tity and value Of those for the same period
of last year. "For the first six months of
1867 we imported $1,000, 900 fbs., valued
at 1928 900, against 6,700, 900 lbs, this
year, (1868) valued at 81, 105 900. The de-
crease has been principally in the arrivals
from England, the Argentine Republic and
Mexico, while those from Russia have been
doubled The abundance Of the home
crop, especially in California and Texas,
has limited our wants for foreign descrip-
tons" The leading item in the table CIV
en- for 1858, is the Russian wool imported,
amounting TO 3,122, 0l3 lbs
PEARS Gather pears as soon as the stem

found tho doors open and crowd Of
excited people inside. The body Of
Sterret Leland had been carried home
with inconsiderats carelessness. There
it was on the rude door which had beer
used for bier, and with her face bowed
down upon the bleed-stained breast,
there lay the sylph-like creature whom
l had seen the night before.
No sound came from her lips, there
was not even a tremor in her form.
Could ii be that she was frozen with
this sudden and terrible grief? A fe-
male friend, neighbor, spoke to her.
No answer-she did not even move
when spoken to.
A physician bent down and laid his
hand kindly on her wrist.

LOVE IN A COTTAGE.

They may talk of love in cottage
And bowers of trellised vine,
vi nature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids half divine.
They may talk of the pleasure of sleeping
In the shade of spreading tree,
And walk in the fields at morning
By the side of footstep free.
But give me sly filtration
By the light of chandelier,
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or seat on silken sofa,
With glass of pure old wine,
And mamma too blind to discover
The small, white hand in mine.
Your love in cottage gets hungry,
Your vine is nest for flies,
Your milkmaid shocks the graces,
And simplicity talks of pies.
You lie down to your shady slumber,
And wake with bug in your ear;
And your damsel that walks in the morning
Is shod like mountaineer.
True love is at home ON carpet,
And nightly likes his ease,
And true love has an eye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan of lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with jewel,
And shot from silver string.

A NOVEL HYMN BooK.-A trav,

A NOVEL HYMN BooK.-A traveller
called lately, about nightfall, at far
mer's house near Albany. The owner
being from home, and the mother and
daughter being alone, they refused to
lodge the wayfarer.
Chow far them" said he, ':is it to a
house where preacher can get lodg-
ings ?"
"Oh, if you are preacher" said the
lady, "you can stay here"
Accordingly he dismounted, depos-
tied his saddle bags in the house, and
led his horse to the stable. Meantime
the mother and daughter were debat-
ing the point as to what kind Of a
preacher he was.
"Ie cannot be Presbyterian, for
he is not dressed we'll enough"
"He is not Methodist said the
other "for his coat is not the right
cut"
eff I conld find his book"
said the daughter, ri would soon tell
what sort of preacher he is,' and
with that she thrust her hand into the
saddle-bags, and pulling forth flask
of liquor, she exclaimed, ella, mother,
he's hardshell Baptist"

and, in a moment, had him upon the
floor and was about to trample upon
him.
But the compact little man leaning
upon the bar sprang upon him and
pulled him back. Upon seeing this
new assailant the bully paused for a
moment, while the other persons in the
tavern gathered around, and after a
momentary observation he darted at
him. A cold, frightful smile passed
athwart the hard, bony countenance of
the little man, and as::the bully raised his
hand to deal him a blow that would
have felled an OK, the little man with
most beautiful pass of science, stopped
the attempt, and planted, what the
"roughs" call sockdologer, right
under the ear Then swift as flashes
of lightning he sent in blow after blow,
on the eyes, on the nose, and into the
body, while the bully made desperate
efforts to defend and retaliate. Cow
cred with blood, and mad with pain
and rage, he endeavored to draw his
revolvers from his belt but the small
man laughed sardonically-he dashed
upon him, seized him by the belt and,
in less time than it takes to write it
hurled him to the floor. The belt was
torn in moment from his person, and
then the compact little man struck him
blow under the ear that left him sense
less and almost lifeless upon the ground.
He coolly took the revolvers from the
person of the vanquished bully, and
after receiving the thanks of the stranger
and small bundle Of bills he coolly left
the place.
"Who is that ?" said one of the
crowd that stood up in breathless silence
observing the little scene we have mar
rated.
"That," said the landlord, els
Yankee Sullivan; come, here's yer
licker-ye may bet that Cut-throat Bill
won't interfere with anyone in futur."
And he was right. When Bill came
to, and got up from the floor, he car
ried his gashed and bloody face from
out of the tavern, and forever afterwards
disappeared.

THEY MARRY YOUNG IN ECUADOR

THEY MARRY You've IN ECUADOR.
The custom of marrying, very young
prevails in Ecuador, and students often
times marry before they have completed
their studies. 1t is not uncommon for
these boy husbands, after few months
struggle with poverty, to return their
wives to their parents on account of be-
ing NC able to support them The risk,
however, of being thus discarded does
not prevent the girls from trying
matrimonial life as ea,ly as possible.
The fee for solemnizing marriage be-
tween white people is $40, between
the mixed breed Sc, and between In
dams or negrows 50 The poorer classes
are often unable to pay these fees, and
so live togather without being married.
The Indians are stron ely attached to
their wives, but treat them with great
cruelty. The women, however, take
very kindly to beatings, and a British
officer who once protected an Indian
woman from most cruel pounding, was
rebuked by the woman for his inter-
ference with the remark, HE is my
husband and has right to beat me.

CHINA country where the roses
have no fragrance, and women no pet
ticoats; where the laborer has no Sab
bath day, and the magistrates no sense
of honor; where roads bear no vehicles
and the ships have no keels; where old
men fly kites; where the needle points
to the South, and the sign of being
puzzled is to scratch the antipodes of
the head where the place of honor is
on the left hand, and the seat of in
tellect is in the stomach; where to touch
your hat is an insolent gesture, and to
wear white garments is to put yourself
in mourning; which has literature
without an alphabet, anda language

MORE BURGLARY-SEvERAL Ar
REsTs.-On Friday night, as is sup
posed. a stove, a number of beer
glasses and dishes-the property of
Nicholas Inklebrandt-Were stolen
from the warehouse of Philip Was
sam. The stove was not missed until
yesterday morning, when the matter
was given into the hands of the City
Marshal and Chief of Police, who at
once started out on tour of observa-
ton. Circumstances were developed
that directed their attention to
house just below the Old Blue Ware
house, occupied by negroes. A search
being made, the stove and dishes
were found in the second story of the
building, and the inmates, four men
and one woman, were at once arrested
and taken to the Third Street
station-house. One of the men was
subsequently released, and the other
four were locked up. A further
search of the premises discovered a
chest of carpenter tools and box
containing a quantity of bacon and
pork, supposed to have been stolen
all of which were conveyed to the
station house. A portion Of the tools
were identified by Mr.. Linden Schmidt
as belonging to the lot stolen from
his carpenter shop some days ago.
Persons who have lost meat or car
penter tools, by calling at the station
house this morning may be able to
identify some of the stolen property.
Other parties still are suspected, and
the officers are on the look out for
| them.

BURGLARIEs.-This city is so full
of burglars. thieves. loafers, pimps,
aud dead beats, and burglaries and
robberies are so much a matter Of
course, that many people do not even
think of telling their Immediate
neighbors and blood relations, much
less the newspaper reporters.
A burglary was committed on the
premises of Barney Rusche's, on up
pes Second Street, on Wednesday
night last. which fact only came TO
our knowledge on Saturday. The
burglars got into the back part of the
house, and from there into the store,
by boring through the door. The
only articles missed are some cigar
and a small sum in small change
which had been left in the money
drawer.

RECoRDER's COURT. = The week
closed out dull in the Recorders
Court, but there are indications of q
lucrative revival to day.
One L. Alboldt got drunk to the
amount of S. 65 worth, the 60 cents
worth being the lookup fees, which
the Recorder takes occasion to anath-
matize whenever he has occasion to
mention that singularly odd number.
A young man, who begs to have his
name left out of the JOURNAL, swal-
lowed too much boomenickle and
was overtaken by the vigilant police.
He, too, was locked up, and had to
pay the odd sixty-fve cents, with So
added.
Abraham Grayson, the negro horse
thief, was also before the Recorder,
bat by general consent he was turned
over to Ed. Evans, an officer from
Henderson, who took him back to
Kentucky. Abraham will no doubt
take a trip to Frankfort at the ex-
pense of the State, but will work it
out.
