that the aggregate debt of the country was

how his colleague made that out.
MIR. Morgan replied that the ascertained

100000, and that the floating debt amount

not deny that.

Mr.. Morgan said that he expected to con.

Republican party he declared, was about

A "REMINISCENCES OF INDIAN SUpERsTI.
T1oN.-1n his sermon last Sunday, at the
Methodist church in this village, the vener
able, divine, Rev. Mr.. Parker, OF Rochester
who is now about IS years of age, related
an incident that will probably be of inter.
est to the majority of our readers. Sixty
one years ago last February, certain per.
son started from Leicester to cross the
Genesee Flats, bound for the western
shore of the Genesee river. When about
half way across the fats, in the early even
ing, he was startled by hearing a strange
noise in the heavens above him, which
sounded to him like screaming and wailing
OF person far up in the clouds. He le-
turned to his home and related the circum
stance to his neighbors, who went with him
to tile place the next evening and then and
there were witnesses to the same noise.
People came from distance to hear the
strange noise, and for two weeks a large
crowd was at the place every evening, at
times to the number of two thousand

ling on Sqakie Hill, held concil, and came
to the conclusion that it was the spirit OF
one of their fathers who died short time
previous, and had lost it's way while on
its Journey to the "Happy Hunting
Grounds" and in its distress was calling
for help. To assist this departed father on
his journey, and open way for him one
hundred warriors were selected and armed
with rifles as heavily loaded as they could
bear. These warriors were placed as near
ly under the noise as possible, and at a
given signal from one of their number they
fired simultaneously into the air. From
that time and forever after, the noise was
heard no more. Mr.. John White OF
Leicester, ard Mr.. Scott of Scottsburg,
aged men, were acquainted with the facts
at the time, and corroborated the version
given above Genesee Herald.

BARNuM IN LoNDoN.-His Search for
Cwiosity.-In the days when Maibran
was in her glory-so runs the operate leg
end--a "fanatico" Of melody went to a
hotel where she had recently stopped and
bribed the chambermad to procure him
some relic ofthe great songstress' presence.
The only article he could get were two
cakes of soap, both of which had been in
the Diva's washstand. One was more used
than the other, and the question arose
which was the most valuable Us memen-
to. The less used cake could obviously
have passed through fewer hands since it
was last clasped in Milibrans fingers, but
the cake which had been more used had
probably been longer and more tightly
squeezed when Malibran did touch it..
How the dilemma was solved history does
not record. Now, similar difficulty sufi-
GENTLY suggests itselfin reading renarka-
BILE advertisement which appeared in the
London Telegraph lately.
Mr.. Barnum, of New York, proposes to
add to his new museum collection of old
hats and gloves worn by illustrious char
acters, and requests all persons who pos
sess such articles to forward them to bis
store in London. We think the great
Snowman would do we'll to inform the pub
lie whether he considers glossiness or shah
mess an advantage. Homes secondhand
silk bat or Ada Menken's soled kid gloves
might possibly be accounted objects of in
terest by their fortunate possessors; but
should they belong to the first youth or to
the extreme age of vestment life? Would
grease stains in the lining of one or holes
in the fingers of the other be considered as
advantages or not? We should like, too,
10 know whether Mr.. Barnum draws the
line at hats and gloves? Would he accept
Of trousers and garters, supposing them to
be certified as having embraced the legs of
distinguished personages?
