A STRANGE ATTACHMENT.-Ou
friend ]. L. Henderson, of CHARTERS
township, while in our Office on Satu--
day last, informed sof arather remark
able circumstance happening within his
own experience. He had three full
blooded Cotswold lambs last year from
two ewes, and as the mother of the
twins died, and the other eve had no
nourishment for hers, ,he took the three
lambs when only few days old and
gave them to a heifer whose first calf
had Just been taken from her, and she
has sucked them ever since. Strange to
saw her attachment for them appears to
be- as strong as if they We're her own
offspring, and seems to be fully recipro-
Gated on their part. They weigh
ed respectively, a few days ago,
SO, Sc and rs pounds, which goes to
show that they have kind step-mother.

A QUEER CANAL CoMPETIToR.-Thc Ro-
chester (N. W Union Of the 18th makes the
following mention Of one of the inventions
which nre fast appearing to claim the
800, 900 prize offered by that State:
"a boat invented by William and Jabcz
Walker and Manson i. Gibbs, of Liyonia,
intended to compete for the money offered
by tho State for the purpose OF more ctlcctu-
ally introducing steam-powcr on the canals,
made its first trial upon lIcnlock lake ycs-
terday. Some Of the machinery was inn
perfect, and after failure at the start, the
boat surprised all beholders by its speed.
1t performed better than the inventors eX-
pccted. There is no wheel on the boat. 1t
is propelled by moving paddles back aud
forth under It; anu the best aud shortest
description we can give of it Is to compare
it to drawing large fish, with very large
fins on it's belly, back aud forth through the
water in the centre OF the bottom of the
boat. The paddles resist the water when
moving forward, and give way to it when
going back. The machinery is cheaply
made, and we see no reason why it will not
be durable and easily kept in repair"

ono Of our own brethren In China ex-
pressed tho opinion that, desirable as 1t is
to multiply missionaries, tho work would
not die, but 90 on, though every foreign
missionary were removed. Thus not only
is tho. gospel, once planted among o
people, inerndicable, but it may be ex-
pected, by the labors Of the native con-
verts, to advance in an increasing ratio.
And this presumption Is strengthened by
the remarkable successes which have at
tended the preaching Of natives in the
Sandwich: islands,. among the harens and
the North American Indians, details OF
which there is not time to give. When
also it Is remembered that much has been
learned as to the best methods of conduct
ing missions, there is good ground OF hope
that the progress Of the future will bo tar
greater than in the past. But even ut the
Same rate as in the past, sober Judges have
estimated that the world would be chris
tianizcd within the next hundred years.
In conclusion, wo refer briefly to the pre-
sent attitude of our own foreign missions.
Tho board Of the Southern Baptist Con-
yeution has I'm China twelve stations and
out-stations, with eighteen native ,laborcrs
and twelve missionaries. Seven churches
have been formed, aud more than $50 con-
vcrts have been baptized. 4 spirit OF i'll
H'h ~ SAAsN wa -
very hopeful.
The African mission has been resumed,
and has ten stations with twelve laborcrs.
The board is earnestly urged to increase its
appointments.
The European mission is very enconrag-
ing. Besides DR.. Cote, we have eight or
ten colporters and evangelists In Italy. In
Rome we have a Baptist church Of over
forty members. A school for preachers has,
been opened. Thirty thousand copies of
portions of Gods word have been dlstribu-
led, and calls for Baptist missionaries come
from every part of Italy. At Bari. on the
Atiriatic, an entire church has, with its pas
tor, become Baptist.
In view of what has been presented, shall
we not jbyfully and gratefully exclaim,
"What hath God wrought" Shall we
not send up our prayer to the "Lord Of
tho harvest" for "mOrc laborcrs," md for
a blessing on those now at work. Shall we
not liberally and cheerfully give of ollr sub
stance TO support these laborers? Shall We
not look hopefully for yet moro blessed re-
suits. even for the coming Of that perl d
when the earth shall be full of the know
ledge Of the love of God.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. B. TAYLOR, Chairman.

THE FIRE ALARM MONDAY NIGuT.

THE FIRE ALARM MONDAY NIGnr- Where
II aCdS Turned In 0nH Who Did N.-Men-
tion was made i'll the Dispatch of yesterday
of the first alarm of fire, which was turned
in at Box No. II, corner Of Sd and Duval
streets, at o'clock on Monday night. A
reporter of this paper went within q short
distance Of the alarm box, and was there
Informed by the chief Of tho department
that it was caused by the burning of shed
near 10y. At III 30 O'Clock Il second alarm
was turned in ut the same place, and the
department were soon upon the ground /;
but this time it turned out to be false, and
Il short Time afterwards McsSrs. JAS. Epps
and Burnett Whcclcy were arrested on the
formal charge Of giving false alarms OF fire
within the city, trespasSing on public prop
erty, and creating Il disturbance through
out the entire city. Yesterday morning
the parties appeared before Justice White,
but owing to the absence OF witnesses tor
the defence the cases were continued until
this morning ut 10 O'Clock.
We do not charge these parties with hav-
| Ing been gully OF 50 grave in offence, not
only cndanyering the health OF the tircmcn,
who were called out twice ut night for no
cause on earth, but also suljectinY the
machines to serious injury from wear and
tear, besides disturbing the peace Of our
quiet city. But it was done by some one,
and with malicious intent, too, else the
second alarm would not have been given;
for surely they would have been satisfied
with their sport after the first run. 1t is
to be hoped that the guilty parties will he
brought to Justice White, and that he will
punish them so severely that The act will
never be repeated in this city.

THAT NpaRo jury CASE IN NEW YoRK

THAT NEGRO JURY CASE IN NEW YORK.
TFrom the New York Standard, 2Sth.
Probably in the $50 years Of Flushing eX-
istence nothing has so excited her rcsidents
and created so much confusion as the ac-
ton of Constable John Henry Wight, for
merly member of the metropolitan police.
The cause was charge OF assault and bat
tcry. Michael Burns had been charged
with an assault on one Lizzie English, and
had by his counsel. G. z. Van Nostrand,
ESQ, asked for jury trial. Saturday
for the trial, and as the time
arrived for the case to proceed the usual
hangers-on ut justice court were on hand Mt
the courtroom in the Town Hall. They
evidently were somewhat surprised to find
| the body Of tue room occupied by from
| thirty to forty negroes. On the arrival of
Justice Hamilton, the panel was called, and
William Barney, Stephen Brown, Jacob
Ketcham, Charles Mahcw, Hurlbut Jack
son, and George Seaman. all colorcd, were
sworn to ri@htlully and truthfully try the
case Of the People against Michael Burns.
! Up to the present time nothing had been
| said by the counsel, but now q cutting de-
! bate followed between the court ana
lawyer Nostrand, the luttcr character
! izinG the new jury departure as 4
sct-up job. The constable excused him.
self by saying it WAS impossible to get to.
gcther white men Of character to try these
petty cases, and certainly the present jury
| could not be objected to for want of intel.
| ligence, and most Of them are men of de-
f, cided ability, and I'LL of reSpectability. The
; counsel said he would not object to have Il
colored jury decide IA case between persons
Of their own color, but ho would decidedly
object to have them in tho present case,
! and consequently he would Withdraw from
! 1t. Lawyer Gould was ordered by the
court TO defend the prisoner, who objected
to being tried by negroes, und finally the
court took the responsibility of diScharg-
ing tue jury aud ordering new panel.
