TRAVEL IN AND OUT OF New YORK.
We have made comparative esti-
mate of the travel in and out of this
city, daily, of what may be termed
strangers-that is, of persons not
doing business here, who come in
and go out daily. On On average,
there are about 10000 strangers
coming in and the same number
going out every day. That would
be about 100000 year. From
this estimate, we exclude the 100000
to 100000 emigrants arriving every
year, and all those living outside
and doing business in the city. The
strangers we speak of are pleasure
seekers, travellers, and those who
come on business. Supposing each
individual spends only ten dollars,
this would bring to our hotels,
restaurants, places of amusement and
other establishments an income of
over S70,000,000 a year, to say no.
thing of the much larger amount
spent at the dry goods and other
stores. .-NeW York Herald.

The PEABODY MEDAL. The medal
ordered by Congress to testify na-
tional approval of Mr.. Peabody's
munificent generosity in aid of edu-
cation in the South has been COM
pleted, and is in the temporary Gus
tody of the State Department.. 1t is
work of great beauty. The front
disc presents q faithful portrait, in
bas-relief, of Mr.. Peabody, and is
supported on the right by a figure of
benevolence leaning affectionately
over the medal, and having in her
right hand wreath of laurel. On
the left, in which direction the head
of the philanthropist is looking, rises
the Palmetto, very beautifully pro-
trayed, at the foot of which are two
children, indicating, respectively, the
white and colored races, in graceful
attitudes of thankfulness. And mum.
erous other excellences.

An old Dutch farmer had hand
some daughter named Minnie, who
recently joined q religious persua-
sion against which the old farmer was
somewhat prejudiced.
The young minister, under whose
instrumentality Miss Minnie was con-
verted, visiting her frequently, ex-
cited his suspicion that all was not
right. Accordingly he visited the
church one Sunday night, and seated
himself unobserved among the con-
gregation.
Soon after taking his seat, the mi
mister, who was preaching from
Daniel, 5th chapter, 25th verse, re-
peated in q loud voice the words of
his text, "naene, meme, tekel upharsin, -
upon which the old farmer sprang to
his feet, seized the affrighted girl by
the arm, and hurried her out of the
Westinghouse. Having reached the
church-yard, ho gave vent to his
feelings in the following words:
II know dere is something's wrong,
and now I schwares to EN-"
"Why, father, what do You mean"
replied the bewildered and innocent
girl.
Didn't l." shouted the old man,
striking his fists together and stamp
ing with his foot, "didn't I hear de
parson call out to you, Minnie,
Minnie, tickle de parson?'"

FIRE.-We regret to record the oc-
cnrrence of fire on Mr.. Andrew
Kilgore's place, about one and half
miles from town, on Monday night.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary; and the loss
to Mr.. Kilgore amounts to the entire
stock of corn on hand. several out
houses, one buggy, and all of his
harness, saddles. brides, &c. The
fire was discovered between or 10
o'clock. We are informed that an
attempt had been made on the Satur-
day night previous to fire the pre-
misses. Mr.. Kilgore is an estimable
gentleman, and the heart which
prompted the perpetration of this
diabolical deed was fiendish one.

Near Van Buren,, Hancock Coun-
ty, Ohio, the other day, two boys,
sons of Thomas G. Carr, took their
fathers gun with the intention OF
going hunting. Mr.. Carr had used
the gun the day previous, and had
left the ramrod in the barrel, after
making an effort to draw the charge.
The boys, one holding the butt
end of the gun, the other the ramrod,
endeavored to draw it out, when
one OF them slipped, and the gun
was discharged, driving the ramrod
through the body of the boy who
was holding it, killing him almost
instantly.
