In the year 1859 negro man named Henry
Cobb was a slave for planter named Cobb in
Tensas parish, Louisiana. In July of that
year the levee broke away and the Mississippi
devastated large share of the plantation.
The slave above mentioned was one of the
seven or eight most trustworthy men OF the
plantation, who were hired out for the time
being until the levee had been repaired and
the land put in order to be worked. Cobb was
hired on a mailpacket, and continued there for
three months. One day, when the boat lay at
Vicksburg, alongside Cairo packet, he failed
to perform certain job of work to the salts
faction OF the captain, who was determined on
sending him ashore and having him dressed
down" for his negligence. Cobb, greatly
frightened, secreted himself on board the
Cairo boat, and landed in Illinois without be-
ing discovered. He was forwarded to Detroit
by the under ground railroad, and since 1861
has lived at or near Chatham, Ontario, under
the name of Hammond. He had been married
three years when he lef; the plantation, but
Knowing that there was no prospect OF getting
his wife away he married again, after settling
at Chatham.
The first wife continued in slavery for severa
years, and was living as slave at Holly Springs
Missouri, when the emancipation proclamation
freed her. She came North, living in Cincin
natl, Chicago and other places, and two years
ago was married to q cOlOred man named
Samuels, and is the mother of child by him
The family came to this city about seven week
ago. Saturday last, as Mrs. Samuels was a

DR.. Willet, lecturing in Boston the other
night, told droll story of himself. He said
that at one time, when he was a connOisseur in
bird stuffing he used to criticise other people S
bird-stufing severely. Waking with gentle
man one day, he stopped at window where a
gigantic owl was exhibited. " ou see, said
the Doctor to his friend, that there is mag,
nifcent bird utterly ruined by unskillful
stufing. Notice the mountingl Execra6Ie,
isn't it2 No living owl ever roasted in that
position. And the eyes Of the bird are fully
a third larger than any owl ever possessed.
At this moment the stuffed bird raised one
foot and solemnly binked at hiscritic, who said
very little more about stuffed birds that after
noon.

The Rev. Thomas X. Beecher is gentle
man who speaks his mind freely, aud has no
fear of dignitaries in his soul. He was engaged
to lecture in Geneseo, N. Y, but the lecture
committee sent him word not to come because
of great small pox panic in the village
Whereupou the Rev. Thomas wrote as follows:
II am amazed that, in this intelligent nine
teenth century, there should be smallpox
panic If any word of intelligent contempt
from me be of use to you, please pass the word
around from me that cleanly and vaccinated
persons arc in no more danger of smallpox
than they are of virtue without an effort. "
The response of the great lecture committee
has not yet come under our observation.

Predictions for the New Year---fol
Posting up in the Kitchen.

Through the whole of the coming year, when
the moon wanes it will grow dark
The sun will rise before good many people,
and set before a good many lie
When there is no business doing people will
complain of hard times, but people who hang
themselves will escape starvation.
If bustles and hoops 90 out of fashion, a
street car or church pew will hold more than
three ladies.
He who wears moustache will have some
thing to sneeZe at
Whosoever is in love will think his girl
perfect angel, and will only find out the truth
Of his suspicious when he gets married and
buys the wrong kind of furniture
! If the incumbent of fat office should die,
there will be dozen feet ready to step into one
pair of shoes.
If young lady should happen to blush, she
will be apt to turn red in the face without the
use OF paint; if she dreams of young man
three times in succession, it will be sign of
something; if she dreams OF him four times, or
has the tOothache, it is doubtful whether she
will get either OF them out of her head.
Many people will drink more liquor than will
be necessary-to keep them sober Many will
} swear to drink no more during the year--except
when invited.
Dinners will be given to those who have
t enough at home, and the poor will receive much
|
y He who marres this year will run a great

f ders, and rain will cause considerable damp
f ness.
o Much biliOusness among young men during
= January, caused by dili-tailor-ous influences
n prevailing certain raiment establishments
IS throughout the city the past year.
Many fellows will begin the year with new
y girls, and many girls will begin the year with
d new fellows.
re Some who are married this year will be di

a. year will be bankrupt next.
is Some future drunkards will take their frs
be sip of wine, and some drunkards will tax
or their last five fingers of old rye.
of Many will weep over the graves of loved one
ey who are now joyous and light hearted.

PATCHoULY.-The introduction of patchou-
ly, the comparatively new perfume, is said to
have been brought about as follows: 1t was
noticed by the European merchants that pc,
culiarly pleasant odor pervaded all the India
shaws, and this odor came to be regarded as
an infSllible test of the genuineness of the ar
ticle. Its cause was inquired into, and it was
an herb known to the IIindoos as putcha, pat,
or as it is now commonly spelled. patchoulo.
Importations of the dried herb as an aid to
the shawl makers enterprise followed, and
this led to its introduction as toilet perfume
in Europe and thence to our own country.

ELEVATED RAILWAYS boiler of an
engine on the elevated railway in New York
exploded recently, producing a panic among
the passengers that demonstrated the incon-
venience of the system The situation was
made all the more tantalizng by the proximity
of the platform at Twenty first street, which
was so near and yet so far. Some of the more
impatient of the passengers at once began to
risk breaking their necks by dropping from
their elevated perch on to the sidewalk dis
tance, allowing for the length of stature, Of
about fifteen feet. A more ludicrous sight
than when half dozen or more were dangling
from the rails at once could hardly be imagin-
ed. A ladder was finally procured, down
which those who were too timid to Jump de
scended, save lone, lOrn female, who refused
for sundry reasons to do so ill the mantle O
night overshadowed the great city and all Of
its critical inhabitants. The remedy suggest
ed for such emergencies is that each train shal
carry folding ladder, by which passenger
may discend when an accident occurs.
