Harper's Magazine.
A postmaster under Buchanan, finding
by his instructions that he was to re-
port quarterly, addressed the following
official communication to the president:
July Q, 1857.
Mr.. James Buchanan, President of the United
States:
DEAR SIR: Been required by the in
structions of the postOfice to report quar-
terly, know herewith foolfil that pleasin
duty by repOrtin IS follows. The harvestin
has been gOin on peerty, and most of the
nab0rs have got their cuttin dun. Wheat
is hardly q average crop on rolen land
corn is yallerish, and wont turn out more
than ten or fifteen bushels to the aker.
The health of the community is only toler-
able, and cholery has broke out about
2 and one half miles from here. There is
a powerful awakening on the subject of
religion in the naborhood, and many s0als
are bein made to know their sins
forgiven. Miss Nancy Smith, a mere
nab0r, had twins day before yester-
day. One Of them is supposed to be
a seven monther, a poor scraggy thing.
and wont live half its day. This is about
awl have to report the present quarter.
Give my respects to Mrs Buchanan, and
subscribe myself yours truly.

TERRIFIC TUSSLE.


Trio Of Bl0Otlh0nnds Got into . Terrible
Fight.
Many of our readers, no doubt, noticed
the five fierce looking Siberian blood
hounds, and two Mexican burros, or di-
muntive Spanish jacks, belonging to Jay
Riaps Uncle Toms Cabin troupe, as they
were being led through the principal streets
to-day as an advertisement for tho
company which appears here tonight.
They were in Harrisburg yesterday,
and the powerful dogs and the
jacks were quartered in Mr.. Will
liam Duncan's boarding stables, Cranberry
avenue, between Raspberry avenue and
Second street. Last evening about $50
o'clock one OF the dogs, named Tray" q
powerful black brute, got loose in some
unaccouLtable manner and fell upon ''Bis-
mark " and Satan," when terrible fight
ensued. One of the attendants at the liv-
cry closed the doors and then ran to Deit-
rick's Franklin house to acquaint the col
ored men WHO have the dogs in charge
with the state of affairs at the stable.
The men hurried to the scene of the
fight and succeeded in a remarkably short
space Of time in separating the brutes by
throwing water upon them. After they
had been separated and secured the dog
answering the name spf "Tray ?" was
found to have been severely bitten about
the head. neck and shoulders, the fange of
Satan aud Bismarck having evil
IDENTIFY been sunk deep into the flesh of the
vanquished brute. Satan," black and
white dog, was also severely bitten about
the face, but after having been washed
had a presentable appearance. Bis
marck - got off without q noticeable
scratch. Tray" was 20 badly used up
that he was kept off the stage last even
ing. Another dog, young one, was at
tackled by one of its mates last Saturday,
and in consequence of having bad wound
in its neck was also excused from taking
part in the exciting slave chase on the
stage last evening.

o'clock at night. Over 1000 people were

Five hundred cocks were fought, ten main

bit the dust. Vast sums of money changed
hands and the scene all day was q verita-
BILE pandemonium. Pool sellers drove a

The Stolen Team.


As suspected from his stupidity, the
man who stole Mr.. Steinman's mare and
Philip Hess buggy at Bethel NJ. E. church
and brought them to this city, where he
was arrested, turns out to be wrOng.headed
His real name is Franklin Mclaughlin,
son of Parker s. Mclaughlin, millwright,
who lives about two miles from Bethel.
He is about 25 years of age, and weak
minded. He was in the county hospital for
several months last summer, and, though
he was supposed to be improved when
taken home, his physician, DR.. II. E..
Muhlenberg, was indisposed to have him
60. His last exploit shows that he was
not fit to take care of himself. His father,
upon missing him from home and hearing
of the team being taken from the festival
which his son had attended, suspected the
facts as he has verified them by inquiries
here to-day. Young Mclaughlin, alias
John johnson, had a hearing on Aabeas
corpus before Judge Patterson at 2 p. m.
to-day, with view of having him trans
ferred from the Jail to the hospital, pend
ing his trial, when his condition will be
shown so as to secure proper committal
and treatment of his case.
After an investigation of the matter it
was arranged that the prisoner, by his
counsel and father, waive hearing and
be finally committed the court then re-
duced his bail to $500 which his father en-
tered into, and upon the certificate of his
mental unsoundness by Drs. Compton and
Muhlenberg he was sent to the hospital,
to be detained there to await trial at
August sessions.

We doubt the propriety of covering
into the state treasury, as forfeit to the
commonwealth, such money as that
which one member of the New York
Legislature says was paid to him by an
other for his vote. The man who says
he got it will not keep it, rs it is the
wages of iniquity the man who is
charged with giving it will not take it
back, as that would be a confession of
crime. But their difference is no reason
why the state should be a stakeholder or
a beneficiary of the dirty bribe. Itcannot
determine which of these Republican
LEGISLATORS is thief. and which is liar, and
it has no business with their money. Let
the local prosecuting officer of the county
indict both and have their guilt passed
upon by aiury, and whichever is the ras-
cal let him take the money and pay his
lawyers with it. But the state has no
need of it and no right to it in law or de-
cency.

That active little fellow. Davenport,
turns up again in the Albany scramble
for the senatorlhfp. and, Of course, in a
diReputable way. He telegTaphed from
Washington to q state senator to meet
him in New York, and there told him
he was authorized to offer him the posi-.
tion of United States marshal If he would
abandon his support of Conkling. This
bears hardly of course, upon Garfield, un.
less it is believed that Davenport had nc
authority for his promise, which is hardly
possible, since he notified the senator that
the appointment must be accepted at
once, as it had to be acted upon
next day by the cabinet and be
confirmed by the Senate.

that ut any time Of day OF night a game

on hts examination admitted that
he had been a professional lobbyist

The first rates seemed to be, according
to his idea, lawyers of great reputation
who were employed to advocate measures
OF legislation. That was lobbying by
first-class men in a first-class way fOr

like himself, took smaller jobs and put
their work in less OstentatiOusly and
with appliances which it did not do to

legislation of any account ever goes
through at Albany because of the unin-
structed opinion of the legislators as to
its merits.
