Dave Fro man, Esq., President of the Agricultural Society, on Saturday last, while on the Fair Grounds superintending affairs, hitched his horse to the fence near the grand stand. Some boys playing among the seats scared the horse, who, in at tempting to jump the fence, fell on it, running the end of one of the pickets into his breast about five inches. It made a terrific wound, but with care the animal may recover. r t " Horse It ace. On last Saturday, at the. Fair Grounds, a little race transpired between " Dusty Bob," and S.

A Baron Elf eld t, of Hol stein, and the editor of a German news paper of St. LouLj, fought a dacL on the 23d. , No one hurt. and gray in the rude and energetic. Lavatef says : Hazel eyes are the more usual indications of a mind masculine, vigorous and profound , just as genius, properly so called, is almost always asso ciated with eyes of a yellowish cast, bor deriftg on hazel." The higher the brows risa, the more their possessor is supposed to be under the influence of feeling, and the lower the better controlled by! bis reason. A very small eyebrow is "an in dication of want of force of character. A. tolerably large mouth is essential to vigor and energy, and a very smnll one is indicative of weakness and indolence. In a manly face the upper lip should extend beyond and dominate the lower, i leshy lips are often found associated ith a vo luptuous, and meagre ones with a pas sionless nature. The retreating chin in dicates weakness ; the perpendicular, strength ; the sharp, acuteness of mind. The Arabs illustrate their estimate of the different colors of horses by the fol lowing story: "A chief of a tribe was once pursued by his enemies. lie said to his son : 'My son, drop to the rear and tell me the color of the horses of our foe, and may Allah burn his grandfather !' White,', was the answer. Then we will go south,' said the chief, 'for in the vast plains of a desert the wind of a white horse will not stand in a protracted chase. Again the chief said : 'My son, what horses pursue 'us V . 'Black, O my father!' 'Then we will go among the stones and on the roeky ground, for the feet of black horses are not strong.' A third time the young Arab was sent to the rear, and reported chestnut horses. 'Then, said the chief, 'we are lost. Who but Allah can celiver us from the chestnut horse?'" Dun and cream colored horses the Arabs consider worth less, and fit only for Jews to ride." Frast of the Fat Men. Connec ticut, the Nutmeg State, was recently the scene of an event as amusing as it waft novel. . Near-Norwalk, in that btate, on the 19th ult, one hundred and forty of the most nonderous men in New Eng land assembled to wage war on clams at an annual clambrake. In this feast none weighing less than two hundred pounds were permitted to participate, and, when all were assembled, the process of weigh ing was gone through with, i Six of the guests turned the scale 'at 802 and up wards: the heaviest man turning 885 lbs. The entire 140 weighed 31,385 lbs., averaging 224 lbs. ' each. Thirty bushels of oysters, forty-five bushels of clams, seven Ibis, of sweet potatoes, and S50 lbs. of fish were devoured on that occasion. fowls. :t which it was uncommonly ex pert. Oue fine morning a pair of par triges was given it to pluck. The monkey took them to an opeu window of the kitchen, and went to work with great diligence. . lie soon finished one, which he laid on the edge of the window, and then went quietly on with the other. A hawk that had been watching his pro ceedings from a neighboring tree darted down upon the plucked partridge, and in a minute was up in the tree again, greed ily devouring his prey, lie , hopped about in great distress fbrsome minutes, when suddeuly a bright thought struck hiiff. Seizing the remaining partridge. he went to work with great energy and stripped off the feathers. He then laid it on the edge, just where he had placed the other, and, closing one of the shut ters, concealed himself behind itJ Th hawk, who by this time had finished his meal, very soon swooped down upon the partridge, but hardly had his claws touch ed the bird when the monkey sprank up on him from behind the shutter. The hawk's neck was instantly wrung, and the monkey, with a triumphant chuckle, proceeded to strip off the feathers. This done, ho carried the two picked fowls to his muster, with a confident and self-satisfied air which seemed to say: 'Here are two birds, sir just what you gave me." What the cook said on finding one of the psrtndges converted into a hawk is more than we are able to say. ' her mother's family once had the dipthe ria, she being the worst. They could get no help.

A Jacksonville (111.) paper has the fol lowing romance of a pair of stockings: "There is a respectable lady now living iu this county, not a dozen miles from thin city, who has a pair of -etockiujrs that her father bought in Springfield, for her to be married in. She, her sister-in-law aud four of her daughters were mavricd in this self same pair of stockings. She has yet a beautiful, unmarried daughter, who declares she too yet will stand in the dear old stockings, provided she gets married be fore t;he death of her mother, who, by the Way, is carefully preserving them to be buried in. The lady says this is the only pair of stockings she ever had that were bought from a store. She also says that she has raised the cotton and carded, spun and knit all the stockings for her self, her husband, and all her children. That pair of stockings cost one dollar and thirty cents forty years ago." Oue night in New York, Artemus was signed his hear some years ago. returning to his hotel, at a late hour of J.

The Rev. Samuel Clawsoo, a Methodist preacher of eccen tric manners, sometimes called the " wild man," was wery popular in Western Vir ginia, some twenty years ago. He was cross-eyed and wiry made, and very dark skinned for a white man. At times he was surprisingly eloquent, always excit able, and occasionally extravagant. He once accompanied a brother minister, liev. Mr. 11. a prominent pastor, in a visit to a colored church. Mr. R.' gave the colored preacher the hint, and of course Clawsou was invited to preach. He did - ... . , so, and, during tbe sermon set tne impul sive Africans to shouting all over the house. This, in turn, set Clawsoo to ex travagant words and actions, and he leap ed out of the pulpit like a deer, and be gan to take the hands of the colored brethren, and mix in quite happily. He wept for joy. Then, pressing through the crowd, he found Brother It., and, sit ting down beside him, he threw his arm around his neck, and with tears stream ing down his cheeks, he said : "Brother R., I almost wish I had been born a nig gir. These folks have more religion than we have." '.'Well, well," ; said Brother R-, "you come so near it that you nccdo't cry about it." Wear a Smile. Which will you do. smile and make others happy, or be crab bed and make everybody around you miserable ? You can live among flowers and singing birds, or in the mire sur rounded by fogs and frogs. ,Tho rmount of happiness which you can produce is incalculable, if you will only show a smiling face, a kind heart, and 'speak pleasant-words. On the other hand, by sour looks, cross words, and a fretful dis position, you can make hundreds unhap py almost beyond endurance. Whioh will you do? Wear a pleasant counte nance ; let joy beam in your eye and love glow on your forehead. There is no joy so great - as that which springs from a kind act or pleasant deed, and yon may feel it at night when you retire, in the morning when you rise, and throughout the day when about your daily business .

In Virginia, where law fixes the mar riage fee at $1, there is a reminiscence of a couple who many years ago called on a parson and requested him to marry them. 'Where is my fee ?" asked the function ary. The parties who were to unite their fortunes did se at once, and found the joint amount to be twenty-seven cents. ' 1 can't marry you for that sum," said the hate old gentleman. "A little bit of service will go a long way," suggested the male applicant. ' Ah, no," said the parsou. "you don't pay for the size of the pill, but for the good you hope it will do you." The lass, intent on marriage, began to weep, but the par son was inexorable, and the couple turned sadly to depart. Just then a happy thought seemed to strike the forlorn maiden, and she turr.cd and cried through her tears: "Please sir, if you can't marry us full up, won't you matry us twenty-seven cents worth? We can come tor the rest some other time. This was to much for the parson. He married them "full up. and they went on their way rejoicing. j a Historical Anecdote. On the dol lars, stivers, etc., coined at the town of Dordrecht, in Holland, is the figure of a milkmaid sitting under her cow, which figure is also exhibited in relieve on the water-gate of the palace. The occasion was as follows : In the noble struggle of the United Provinces for their liberties, the Spaniards detached a body ot forces from the main army, with the view of surprising Dordrecht. Certain milk maids, belonging to a rich farmer in the vicinity of the town, perceived, as they were going to milk, some soldiers con cealed under the hedges. They had the presence of mind to pursue their occupa tion without any symptoms of alarm. On their return home they informed their master of what they had Been, who gave information to the Burgomaster, and the sluices were let loose, by which great numbers of the Spaniards were drowned, and the expedition defeated. The States ordered the farmer a handsome revenue for the loss he sustained by the over flowing of his lands, rewarded the milk maids, and perpetuated the event in the manner described. - Grocer's Wit.
