have nothing to do or say but let him go on

take him out Immediately, take all the
harness off except the bridle and take a
small rope the size Of plow line and tie
one end to the bit on the right hand side

MARvEL.-An incident happened in
Machinery Hall which is we'll worthy of
recording, as it exhibits the unparalleled adj
vancement of American genius in small as
well as in great things. While large
throng of visitors from all countries were
standing silently around the mighty Corliss
engine, watching its gigantic movements
with feelings partly of delight and partly of
awe, a tall, gentlemanly looking parsonage,
who afterwards gave his name and address
as Levi Taylor, of lndianola, Iowa, Joined
the crowd, and with the others paid
unspoken yet eloquent homage to the won
drous monster before him. After watching
the motions for few moments the gentle
man passed around to one side, and ex-
tracing from his pocket a small tin case,
| took from it what looked like a diminutive
alcohol lamp, and, striking match
started a miniature flame, and placed the
contrivance on a corner of the platform
which surrounds the mighty steam giant
from Rhode Island. At first glance moth
ing could be discerned over this lamp but
a small eXcrescence which looked more
like a very juvenile humming bird thar
anything else, but close inspection showed
that what was mistaken for liliputiar
wings was the iy-wheel of perfect steam
engine ana persons with extra goou eye
could, after a close examination, discove
some of the other parts of the curious piec,
of mechanism. This engine has for it
foundation twenty-five cent gold piece

THE WRECKED GooDs FOR THE FALCON
II will be remembered that there was
good deal of dissatisfaction manifested in
this town after the wreck of the steamboat
Falcon, on Sunday week, because Capt. Hal
linger left the stranded freight TO the mercy
of the pirates, and that the owners Of the
freight, it was thought, were consequently
subjected to additional unnecessary loss by
having their goods stolen. The men on
the oyster boats at first had to bear all the
blame, but il now seems that farmers and
others around made some good hauls, par
ticularly of ready-made clothing and dry
goods, belonging to Messrs. Kahn anc
Tolson, of this town. On Thursday last tn,
two merchants above named took out
search warrant and visited Gideon Biz
Yards, farmer living between here ans
Bombay Hook, but found nothing. In tn
mean time Esquire Colt wrote to Attorne,
General Pennington for instructions in tn
matter, the case being rather an anomalou
one. We are permitted to make the fol
