A FROG SroRY.-The Pennington Che.
Chronicle says Major Dill, Of Phillips, says:
"a farmer in this town a short time since,
in digging well, came upon scaly or irregu-
lar laminated rock, about two feet below the
surface Of the ground. Through this ledge
he worked down by blasting four feet furth-
er, at which depth he found three frogs, COM
pletely imbedded in the rock These frogs
were each from three to four inches in length,
but about an eighth of an inch in thickness,
appearing as il Aattened out by pressure. In
about ten minutes after they were thrown out
they showed signs of life, by slight motions or
twinges Of the eye. They also commenced in.
fating themselves and growing thicker, and in
the course of half an hour hoped off. They
were nearly the same color as the ledge in
which they were found"

DARK HouRs.-To every man there are
many, many dark hours-when he feels in
clined to abandon his best enterprise; hours
when his hearts dearest hopes appear delu-
sive hours when he feels unequal to the bur-
den, when all his aspirations seem worthless.
Let no one think that he alone has dark
hours They are the common lot of humani-
ty They are the touchstone to try whether
we are current coin or not.

ABOUT VISITING CARDs.-An important
feature has of late been introduced into the
use of these articles. The beau monde, of
course, makes calls by merely sending around
cards That every one knows, and hence there
was some sense in the order made by some
body to deliver cards on New Years day for
such of the gentry as were too lazy to go in
person. The point is this: When card is
left at your house it is call in mere form
an empty expression of still more empty po-
lteness-but if be really meant for a call,
and not dead letter, you will find one corner
turned down. The lady visitor, when she
stops her carriage at tie door of dear =
friend-one whose kind regards she means to
cherish-is careful, as she puts card into the
hands of the funky to deliver at the door, to
turn down the corner as aforesaid. This is
as much as to say I love you dearly, and |
am dying to see you, as you will perceive by
looking at the inch of pasteboard; and hav'
ing made this expressive utterance, the car
rage drives on.

Look OUT FOR COUNTERFEITS.-Anu mum
Der of counterfeits on national bank net s
have recently made their appearance, and are
being extensively circulated. We give a list
of those detected thus far: Tens on the Gro
ton National Bank, New York City; tens on
the First National Bank of New York City /;
fives on the National Union Bank of Kinder
hook. New York The clouds above the fe-
male have scratchy appearance; the shading
under the words National Union Bank" are
coarse anu irregular. The paper is a blush
tint. The engraving on the back is coarse.
Tens on the American National Bank, New
York City: The signatures are printed and
poorly done, and the number is blotched. The
engraving is much better than that on the
counterfeit of the Flour City Bank of Ro-
chester. Elves on the Peoples National
Bank, Jackson, Michigan: 1t is poor affair,
both as regards printing and paper; still the
imitation is close and may deceive Tween
