A CURIOsITY.

Mr.. w. Il. Sands, of Clark county, Ind,
has left atthe museum of the Public Library
a most singular petri6cation. 1t is a "sugsr-
cured ham" and was taken ffom the foot OF
the knobs, near Char.estown, near the
remains of what seems to have been
the dwelling of some family living iu
the ante ,diluvian period of the earth's
geological history. The interior is made
upof soft clay, and the form, thickness and
other characF eristics of tie coating would
cause the most expert cookist in Louisville
to draw his knife for slice. The ham
is worth a visit from our amateur geolo-
gists.

There are but few men in this
country who are more ready to give

the St. Louis Journal. Hear him !:
CAT this season it is proper to ad-
wise clergymen that brevity is the
soul of wit and that the Sermon on
the Mount, an excellent model for
them, could not have been more
than ten or fifteen minutes long"
As the Journal man was never
known to go to church ''hisself," the
kindness of heart and pure benev-
olence exhibited in the foregoing
paragraph, are calculated to bring
tears to the eyes of the most hard

The funny man of the Fayetteville
Express describes the manner in which
be now employs his leisure time.
He says: The fat woman at the
circus created sad havoc among the
hearts of some of our young men
last Saturday, by declaring that she
was anxious to marry and settle
down. Anticipating the delightful
probability of her choice falling upon
one of their number, every mothers
son of them has been practicing
tactics most likely to
suit woman of her sylph-like pro-
portions, by hugging the turn table
at the depot"

A Beautiful Incident.

A laborer, painfully anxious about
the fate of his family should death
take him away, one day found in a
bush two birds nests near each 9TH
er. Constantly he watched them,
till one day hawk pounced upon
and destroyed the parent birds be-
longing to one Of them. Sadly dis
tressed, thinking the fate of the
little birds betokened the fate of his
own little children when he was no
more, he kept away from the place
for some time, but at last was drawn
to look at the nest, expecting to find
the fledgeling starved to death; but
to his surprise, they were alive and
healthy. Standing by in astonish-
ment he saw the parents Of the other
brood equally distribute the food
they brought between their own
young ones and the orphan birds,
and took comfort (for in that country
there is no work house,) believing
that the great Father would in such
extremity provide in a similar way
for his own children.

the purpose of taking the necessary
steps to form a new State out of all
the territory of West Tennessee,
West Kentucky, and a portion of
North Mississippi. We say, let the
meeting be held, and in behalf of
the hospitable citizens of jackson
we hereby tender a cordial welcome
to all the friends of the enterprise
who may attend. Ample arrange
ments will be made to accommodate
all who may come. 1t is not neces-
sary to have meetings in all the coun-
ties to appoint delegates, for the in
vitation is broad enough to take in
all the friends of this great move
ment who may be present on the oc-
casion. But we especially invite ed
iters and representative men, ire
spective of political parties, to be
with us on the 20th of July. If we
had a united press on this subject,
all working to a given point, and
take a strong pull, long pull, and a
pull altogether, the new State can
be formed. In the meantime we
suggest to the citizens of Jackson
that they have an early meeting and
appoint the necessary committees to
push forward the work.-Jacks0n
