A HoMEs1CK HORSES JOCRNEY.-Thc
Manchester IN. H. Mirror tells the follow
ing story OF homesick horse that ran away
from his new master and made the Journey
alone TO his old home-a distance, we be-
heve, Of about Thirty miles: Eighteen
months ago Il bay horse was purchased IN
this city by Mr.. Nathaniel Wiggin, OF
Greenland, and driven down to his farm.
The horse was well fed and we'll treated,
and he HaXed fat and seemed as happy as it
is given for the most fortunate horses to
De. One night recently he escaped from
his pasture, and was nowhere to be found
when he was wanted next day. Harvesting
another horse, Mr.. Wiggin set forth to cap
ture the deserter, and traced him from place
to place until he reached Newmarket
bridge. Here he was informed by the toll
gatherer that the horse had been there, and
evidently wanted to pass through, but was
driven back, and the gate closed; but even
then he would not 60 away, and the nrst
time after his arrival that team went
through he made dash, squeezed through
alongside OF the other horse, and clattered
away up the road, snorting triumphantly as
he went. Mr.. Wiggin, having no longer
any doubt as to where the runaway had
gone, drove on to Manchester as directly as
he could go, hearing from the horse occa
sionally all the way, and, on arriving at Man
chester. there lie was, sure enough, in bis
old stall in the stable, which he had LETT

Editors Dispatch: Last night we had a
very considerable fall Of rain; have had
splen did tobacco seasons; the area in the
weed Is not SO large as last year. The
wheat crop Is not equal to last years. The
oat crop is tirst-rate. The crop OF corn Is
promising, but nothing like as we'll ad-
vanced as usual at this date; cause, cold
weather.
We thank you for your aid in the reduc-
ton of the tobacco tax. Had not Congress
as well tax all the other business OF the
country, such as extra fine shoes and boots,
carpets, fine equipages, pleasure-horses,
&C., &C.? Such tax on tobacco prior to
1860 would have been resisted by force.
The heavy tax on wbiskey has aided the
temperance cause more in this community
than all the addresses ever made in the last
half century. E. +. G..
