At Frcyhourg in Switzerland is a very powerful organ, which is well described by a correspondent of the New York Ob serer. It has 7M()0 pipes, some of thorn 32 feet long, and 9 J stops. It is an instrument of power, and though the traveler is compelled to pay eleven francs to hour it on a week, day, it is worth the money. At first one imagines a trick is played upon him, and that a full orchestra accompanies the organ. Thi. mellow tones melt in and Moat awa killed, but after great struggling he stood on wt, tH. u.vier notes, as if a bund of miisi. dry land, with fury in bis face, and mud and cjs wvr(. playing out of sight. .Many re slime in his mouth, u very passionate martyr 1 ;'M. , M.j,.V(. it i not a deception till they go in green weeds.

It is jot by no tear A FO HUNT. Wo were ascending a hill, a do.pn of us ' in a ruck' and on reaching its top a curious spectacle ifiet-our gaze. The bill declined rather abruptly on the other side, and its base was-Jined with a tall haze hedge, mix. ed thickly' with holly and wild briars. On the other side were the dogs, and one or two hunters, and on this side, about a hundred horsemen, who had all puilcd up, not daring to gallop down tho somowhat precipitous bank, and unable to clear the fence in any event. Their poor horses were sadly blown, their tails quivering like the arm of a palsi ed man ; yet still their riders were anxious to follow tho dons, and rodo backward nnd forward, looking for an assailable part in the thick hedge. Each one thought it possible that ho might bo in at tho death perhaps get the brush, and what an exploit would tha ' to talk about at homo ! Wouhl'nt that sound well in his favorite smoke room? Would'nt some people burst with envy ? A fox's brush from a elfl hunting field only think ! Who had seen the fox ? was the question. Of course, plenty of people had seen tho fox. One man had seen him go up tho hill, an other had seen him dodging round a coppice ; in' short, he had been .seen in every variety of vulpine action, and in more colors than tho rainbow. a We checked our horses as we reached the hill-top, and were looking for a moment in merriment at tho confused scene below us ; when three dragoon o dicers came spurring up the hill, bellowing out to us to advance. " What the dovil arc you gaping there for?" said n pair of whiskers. " Ride thorn down !" gasped an infantine brace of mustaches. "Clear the Way V roared ono of those heavy Dutch-faced lieutenants, who always are lieutenants, and never rise higher. So wo cleared the way, to let tho gentlemen have u fair field, and stood looking on. Ah Im-J not gold laco, nor exotic mustaches dared face that leap, but they checked their horses somewhat sheepishly, and retreated behind their wilderness of whiskers, oh well as they could, seeking to hido their shamo among the friendly shades. ".Halloo! what ails ye, lads?" cried tho old Squire, coining gontly toward us, with his horso well in hand, and scarcely blown. Ho saw our predicament. " In that all ? clear tho way with your post-horso varmint, below there. Yo ho! Yo-oicks!" Away ho flew ; and the next moment was over tho the chase could not last much loncer. A loud snarling, growling and wrangling pro eeeded from the margin of a small .spruce covert. " There's the fox !" said our dandy sportsmen, ami dashed forward to get 11 glimpse of the wonderful animal : some of the old men tittered, the huntsman dismount ed and beat off the dogs ; then came among us holding tfp the long sought prey a bag of salted herrings. It is a fact. Foxes were rather scarce, and diliieult to be caught, and as a fox could not be found in that part, unless he was taken there for tho purpose of follow;, clap with stunning rapidity, rolling 11111I crashing through the building till itss,. id arches tremble as if the real thunders of heaven were bursting overhead. I did not dream that a single instrument could tiosse.s so much power.

The ungrateful fellows, not content with a day's good sport, liegtijTT grumble dreadfully, and to humor their ill tempers, tho rain began to fall in torrents, and as the unfortunate people were full ten miles from anywhere, their horses jaded and staggering, they had impatiently to submit to all its soaking charms. iV. Y. Sprctotor. Aneciioti: r the late Benjamin Kos skl. Tho worthy editor of tho Columbian Ceutinel was always a model of enterprise and industry. For years after he commen ced the publication of that paper, he not only acted as the .-' editor und reporter, but al so worked buusidurahly at case, in setting type, and performed a goodly sliurn of the press work. It is related of him, that once having published un article which was con sidered personal, und hichlv oll'onsive, by a certain commuuit unfortunate and fullv determined to jrive him a sound threshing. According to tho cistom of tho time, ho was arrayed in white kerseymere small clothes, white silk stockings and white vest.

Indeed, weight steadies it, while the wind, as it sweeps down the gulf, makes it swing under you.
