BETTING EXTRAORDINARY. " The New York Star
in an article on betting, relates the following
A distinguished physician was called to attend
an inveterate better who was attacked with
sudden and dangerous illness After n careful
diagnosis the doctor assured him that his condi-
tion was extremely critical and his chances of
recovery very doubtful. Thereat the patient ra-
lied sufficient strength and the following colo
guy ensued
"Ill bet you hundred dollars, doctor, that
don't die"
6 My dear sir, you may not, but ! think it
proper to advise you that in my opinion, you
will"
"Well, Doctor, if die, viii go to heaven ?"
{" hope so, sir"
/" Will be an angelP'
eyes, sir"
"Will have wingsP'
" presume so, sir"
" Well now, doctor, when you die will you go
to heaven and be an angelo
g trust so, sir.
"And will you have wings, too 2'
Yes ! suppose will"
Well then, Doctor, Ill bet you a hundred
dollars | will out-Ay you"
The man died, but the doctor, who has not
yet taken the bet, is still living. If, as some
theorists hold, we take with us into the new
world the same propensites which we have in
this, we have no doubt that all the betting
will in due time be running around to make
bets on the flying match of our deceased sport,
whose ruling passion was strong in death.
AN INDIANA WAY OF GETTING Orr WITH THE
OLD LOVE AND On WITH THE NEw.-About three
weeks ago, as r.. and his wife were eating din
ner, boarder at one Of the hotels made himself
very agreeable to Mrs. r. and she was rather
favoraby impressed with him, n ripe acquain-
tance and close intimacy sprung up between the
parties at once. Last week after r. and his wife
came to town, Mrs. r. told the boarder that she
loved his little finger better than her husband
whole person, and that she would like to marry
him. She then informed her husband of these
facts, and he told her that she might marry the
man if he would give him ten dollars and pay
the costs of getting divorce. The terms were
agreed upon, and Mrs. r. and her new lover took
a trip to a neighboring town yesterday. r.
seems to think that he has made a great bargain
and is glad to get bis spouse off his hands on
such good terms.-Indiana Ttibune, August 3OH.
PREACHER of very long sermons went to ex-
change with brother clergyman, who was ac-
customed to make his sermons short The
stranger kept on long after the usual time of dis
missal, unmndful Of the yawns and impatient
motions of his hearers. At length hunger got |
the best of their good manners, and one by one
they dropped away, until he found himself J
preaching to bare walls and the sexton, whose
duty compelled him to stay. At last the sexton S |
patience gave out, and walking deliberately up to /
the pulpit stairs he handed the minister the key |
with request that he would lock up when he |
got through, and leave the key at his house as
he went along.

A steam engine for common roads, invented
by X. w Thompson, of Edinburg. Scotland,
has received good deal of notice from the
press on both sides of the Atlantic. Soft rub.
Der tires are used on it. and With excellent eff
feet, rs they obyiate all necessity for the use
of springs between the aIles and the parts
which they support, and give great tractible
power. Among the performances of this en-
gine, 1t drew large wagon, weighing, with
its load o. flour, ten tons, mp a steep lane full
OF holes and ruts, and rising with n gradient
of one in twenty. 1t ran with ease aud secu-
rity over fields where there were no roads,
even where the surface was quite rough. As

BEET SUGAR.-The beet sugar manufactured
at Alvarado Is so pure and white that it needs
no further refining after leaving the manufnc-
tory. 1t resembles, in appearance and in the
size of its crystalizCd grains, epson salts; and
in taste so closely resembles refined cane
sugar that not even n competent inspector of
sugar could distinguish "a difference between
the two. The success of the mandatory at
Alyarado demonstrates the adaptability of the
soil and climate in the vicinity of Hayward's
to the growth of the sugar beet. To the eff
fects of soil and climate in deteriorating or
changing the quality of the sugar beet, is to
be attributed the failure i'll this country and in
Europe of so many sugar manufactures. The
number of these failures induced us some
weeks ago TO advise our farmers and capital
lists, before commencing the erection of costly
beet sugar mills, to test the adaptability of the
soil and climate of the neighborhood pro-
posed for beet cultivation. Since the mill
at Alyarado is n success, it will be ensy for our
farmers to try the experiment Of beet cult
Walton by forwarding experimental lots of
beets to Alyarado for reduction.-S. f. En-
