MISCELLANEOUS.

The Detroit Free Press says: Il.
Bent, is the name of very quiet
Young man in Cincinnati. And there
IS many another young man in that
city, who is Just as much l.. Bent a.
he is COuier-JOWHai.
We have a few l.. Bounds in this
city, who are douhtlcss related TO the
l.. Bents.
The Cincinnati Commercial, speak
ing of the wonderful turn the testi-
mony has taken in the Stokes trial,
says: "The jury will do violence to
the law and the facts if they fail to
bring in n verdict of guilty against
the man who is dead" We doubt
whether this is good law or not, but it
is very clear that the injured Stokes
has good ground for heavy damages
against jim Fisk's estate.
"A sailor, bound from New York 10
San Francisco says an exchange,
purchased a Bible and thirty pounds
of plug tobacco rs his outfit Ii that
sailor chcWCd his Bible and studied
his tobacco carefully, he is now n

The Portsmouth Journol. relates n
sin9ularly tough iishy veriticatiou Of
'casting bread upon the waters" An
ex-engineer of the Eastern railroad,
from NewbeITyport, happening TO be
in that city not long ago, was impOr-
tuned by poor, ragged woman, who
told him n pitiful story of restitution,
which moved him so that he gave her
n five dollar bill-all he had with him.
While ON his way to the depot 10 take
the ears for home, a gust of wind re-
turned him note OF equal value.
A NEWSPAPER POLAR EXPEDITION.
i hear that Mr.. Gordon Bennett. of
the Now York Herald, tired of the
repeated failure of Government OK
petitions to reach the North Pole,
and another example Of what private
enterprise may accomplish in the IN
tcreSts of science, is shortly to equip
a "llerald Polar Expedition, with
instructions similarly lacOnic to those
addressed to Stanley when dispatched
to find Livingstone, and which in this
case will he, Discover the Pole.
Spare ne expense. N. \. HeTs'd.
Last week whilc some men We're en-
gagged blasting rock near OYSTERS
Point, on the other side of the river
from Harrisburg, piece of rock as
large as 4 mans hand was hurled by
an explosion to a distance of over
four hundred yards. It's force was
spent in passing through Il dwelling
house adjacent to the toll-gate, one or
two of the inmates narrowly escaping
with their lives. The most singular
part of the whole occurrence, is that
, the fragment passed through one side
of the house, penetrated to the othct,
| rebOmded and crushed through tie
dwelling again, finally dropping to
| the ground on the outside. The holes
made were quite large and ragged,
but no ons was hurt. = P1isLvrq CouI-

! WHAT BEFELA HuNDEEUE GREEN.
/ RACKS. A man residing in SaucGr
township, in this county, whose name
our enquiry failed to ascertain. had
boarded in different places about his
house, twenty thousand dollars IN
greenbacks, When the recent panic
came upon the country, he grew fear
ful lest in the prevailing scarcity OF
currency his savings might be dis
covered and stolen. He went out ant
offered some of il to his neighbors on
mortgage, and the offer being accepted
he went to take it out of its hidins
Iplaces. Six thousand dollars We're
found to be SO moulded as not to all
nit OF Identification, and the savins
farmer possibly knows now that III,
I wealth would have been safer in some
body elSe's hands than hi own. |
would be a pleasure 10 get hold o
his name, for while Il man has n rich
to dispose of his money as he please
one whose method has proven diSas
trous, would serve as warning to nj
similarly disposed. And We do no
doubt but that we may have man,
such in Lehigh county-pcnny-w wis
and Observation-Disclosures CPa.
