A good Joke is told Of one Of the
business men at Montpelier, who
stepped into the post Office the other
forenoon, leaving his horse outside.
On coming out he walked short dis
lance with a gentleman, converting
on business, after which he started for
his place Of business, and at noon
went home. On reaching there he
proceeded to his stable 10 care for his
horse, and was somewhat alarmed to
find the animal missing, and Of course
supposed il had been stolen. He i'm.
mediately sought sheriff, whom he
dispatched in one direction, sent q
man to Barre TO head the thief off in
that direction, and late in the after
noon was rushing to the printing office
to get out posters for his apprehen-
sion, when a moments reflection
brought the true state Of the case to
his mind. whereupon he proceeded to
the post office, where he found the
animal hitched to ring on the oppo-
site side of the road, it having evi-
IDENTIFY started for home, but had been
stopped by some one Montpelier
(Vt.) Argus.

The counting Of the coin in the
Sub-Treasury in New York, attending
its transfer to the new Treasurer, Mr..
Acton, affords an impressive illustra-
ton of the extent TO which the vaults
are encumbered with silver dollars of
recent coinage. The quantity of sill

as eight hundred tons avoirdupois,
nearly two-thirds Of which consist of
these dollars, the rest being subsidiary

bred tons are twenty-five million, six

Sweets are likely to become very
cheap in this, the land of the sugar
cane and glucose. The genuine sugar
manufactured from the cane has a
market value now much below what
it would be were it not for the tons OF
glucose being annually extracted from
Indian corn. A plan is now on foot
and Company has been organized IN
Philadelphia to reinforce the market for
sweets by manufacturing glucose out
of cassava, u root of the Euphorbia
family and growing extensively in
South America and the West Indies.
1t is claimed that seven hundred
bushels of this root can be raised on a
single acre, and that each bushel will
produce thirty pounds of glucose.
This yield is greatly in excess of the
yield from India corn, and the sweet
is said to be of a superior quality.
