A man in the dress of a
workingman was lately walk
ing in the streets Of Berlin
with a packet in his hand, seal
ed and inscribed with an ad-
dless, and a note that it con.
tanned one hundred thalers in
treasury bills. AS the bearer
appeared to be at u loss, he was
accosted by a passenger, who
asked him what he was look
ing for. The simple country
man placed the packet in the
inquirer's hands and requested
that he would read the address.
The reply was made as with an
agreeable surprise, why, this
letter is for mel 1 have been
expecting it for a long whilel'
The messenger upon this de-
manded ten thalers for the
carriage OF the packet, which
WAS readily paid, with a libe-
raj addition to the porter, The
new possessor of the lacket
fastened to an obscure corne
to examine his prize; but Or

A Cuaious Tree. = A Gen
tleman residing north of Port
Byron, Cayuga county, N. Y,
has a large and fourishing pear
tree which is curiosity that
attracts numerous spectators. -
Some years since he covered
the roots ofthe tree with straw
as a protection against cold
Weather. When the straw was
removed it was found that
family of moles had made it
their habitaton and, in the
natural depravity of their in
stincts had passed their time
in gnawing the bark from the
tree, stripping it clean below
the straw with the exception of
a few inches on one side. The
owner, being possessed of an
inventive turn Of mind, deter
termined to save the tree if
possible, and he has succeeded
lie cut from the tree several
healthy and proaaioius sprouts
and bending them in the form
Of a crescent, grated an end of
each in the body of the tree
above and below this girdle. -
Now the tree is healthy above
and below the spot. whilst be-
meath the sprouts the trunk is
dead and decaying. The
sprouts have, of course, increas-
ed in size, and the owner conf
IDENTIFY expects they will be able
to sustain the weight of the
tree by the time the trunk has
decayed through to the healthy
side. The top is filled with an
unusually large quantity of fruit
and the yield this season will
be greater than ever before.

EXCESSIVE CAUTION OF NAPOLEON ILL.,
LOUIS NAPOLEON was determined not to be
imposed upon in the matter of transmitting
messages through the new Atlantic cable.
Sir JAMES ANDERSON, the commander of the
Great Eastern, brought with him sealed
message, which had been prepared by the
Emperor, the purport of which was to re-
main unknown until it WAS opened OH this
side the Atlantic upon the completion of
tie cable, when the message was to be sent
to the Emperor over the wires, in order that
he might thus judge of the accuracy of the
transmission. This message was sent to
France OH Wednesday.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
The New York Sun has the following in
teresting paragraph:
1T is understood that twelve eminent
New York capitalists have undertaken to
coinplete the work begun by the State OF
Virginia before the war of building a rail
road from Richmond and Washington to the
Ohio river. A party of engineers and rail-
road men have just passed over the route,
and say that it is very favorable one; the
distance between common points at the
West and the seaboard being. less, and the
grades twenty-five per cent. less, than any
of the other trunk lines. Two millions OF
money has already been raised for the pro-
ject."
We do not know whence the Sun derived
its information; but we trust that it is not
in error In its statements.
