RETURNING home late the other night,
a gentleman living on Mission street,
says the San Francisco Neos Letter,
disrobed without lighting the gas, and
lay peacefully down beside the partner
of his joys. Sinking back upon his
pillow, he straightway raised himself up
again and remarked: 81 say, wife |!

down and was satisfied for some time,
when vigorous nudging in the side OF
his wife proved that he had another

You know that as well as anybody. Do,

other half hour passed in silence broken
only by the solemn ticking OF the clock
in the darkness. Then there was another
spasmodic nudgiDg. II say wife you

Death OF n S2O, 900 Horse.


Curtis Hambletonian, one Of the
most valuable horses in Kentucky, was
found dead in his stable on Tuesday
morning. He had been standing dur
in, the past season at the farm OF w.
J. Walker, Esq, half a mile from Rich
mond, at 800 the season. On Monday
afternoon he was, apparently, in most
excellent health. A post mortem exam
inaton, in the presence Of several gen
tlemen, indicated that his lungs, heart,
liver, etc. were in a perfectly healthy
condition. From the manner in which
the grass in front Of the stable had been
rolled, it was thought that he might
have died OF collie, but az he had for
weeks past been fed on nothing except
shesf oats, it is strange how he could
have contracted the disease. Curtis
Hambletonian was half brother to Dex.

THE Stokes Tennessee muster roll on
which the Second Auditor paid about
$4,000 Of public money, is a valuable
acquisition TO the vital statistics OF the
country. The action OF the Treasury
Department in the case, settles the fact
that a company OF volunteers. number
ing 100 men, enlisted for three years
and served the entire term, losing only
one man; whether he was killed by &C.
cident or died a natural death, we are
not advised. The hard fighting and
perils to which these troops were sub
jected, induced Congress 10 pass a spe-
cial act allowing them bounties. AS
there was nothing said in the act
"a to Stokes having any share
in the bounty, it is now claimed
that he acted irregularly," and it
seems the country ia to be deprived,
temporarily, Of his services as Supervi-
sor Of Internal Revenue. The muster
roll, in the meantime, should be trans
ferred to the Smithsonian Institute for
the benefit OF science and life insurance
management. II q clerk can settle an
account of this magnitude, and procure
its payment, there should be great eau
ton in the selection OF clerks. We
supposed that more than one Official had
to be consulted before money was drawn
from the Treasury. Itwould seem that
with the comprehensive system Of checks
and balances, that after all, nobody but
the clerk is responsible-Patriok

Reforms in New Orleans.

The subjoined items are taken from
the New Orleans Bee:
The police commenced work. under
the new law as soon as it was prOmul-
gated, and on Tuesday night several
we'll known gentlemen about town, who
always wear good clothes and sport
flash jewelry, yet neither SOW nor spin,
were furnished with free LODGINGS at
the Central Police Station. And a
strange sight they presented truly,
though most of them were, hopeful
that some of their many friends would
"See the Recorder and get them out
of limbo, or that the thing would pass
off as a good joke when arraigned in the
morning, and parties were formed even,
for social drinks after the farce should
be over next morning. The morning
rather rudely brushed their hopes
aside. The party was taken before the
Police Board, according to the new
law, and after being weeded of few
poor unfortunates who had got mixed
in it, either through keeping bad COM
pany, or from the Over-zeal of some pO-
licemen, the rest were sent before Re-
corder HOughton as fair and fit sub
jects, for an extended experience in
Workhouse life.
Superintendent Badger yesterday
issued a peremptory order to the police
force to stop all singing, dancing, OR
theatrical exhibitions in the beer sa-
looms of the city. Their license for
such exhibitions having expired with
the end of187O, there will be no trouble
in enforcing the order now, unless the
Council take it into their sapient heads
to boggle the thing again.

The fight treated of in this sketch is sup
posed to have occurred on territory now in
cluded in the town of Marlboro, in Wind
ham county. Although it was frequently
the case that when small parties of scouts
encountered the French and and Indians.
while ranging the woods, the latter were
victorious, yet there were some exceptions,
and the story we are about to relate is one
of this number. The iercest, and most to
by dreaded of all the leaders of the Indian
warriors was a chief named Sackett, who is
said to have been a half-blood-a son of an
English woman captured at Westfeld,
Mass, who afterwards became the wife of
an Indian. BE this as II may, he was
shrewd, boasting, and blood-thIrsty, as
well rs vigilani and daring. In action he
was not often defeated.
Among the scouts onployed by the colo
mics there was Captain Humphrey Hobbs,
noted for coolnoss, courage, and that pecul-
lar craftiness which was so essential in out
whiting the willy savagos. Hobbs and Sack =

with each other and a sort of attachment
had existed between them, but not one that
