“ Sact.ami;*to Sl'OKT.”—As if to illli- !
fate the Spaininrds’ method of obtaining
amusement, over 3,000 persons recently ,
assembled within on amphitheatre in
Sacramento to witness a fight between on
imineiists grizzly bear, weighing 2,000
nonnds, and an untamed Spanish bull.— j
The hear—a huge misshapen creature—j
was chained by his leg to a post in the ;
centre of the ring. The hull was then J
let out, hut the animals seemed to have ]
more consideration for each other than ;
the brutes who looked on, inasmuch as
they evidently had no hostile intentions. ;
lie made one plunge at the hear, and ,
was caught by the latter tightly around i
the neck, who held him a few minutes,
when he disengaged himself, and they (
separated, gazing at each other compla- ,
eently. Every method was adopted to i
make the animals tight; hut none with 1
success.
Missiles were thrown, lighted hunches ,
of fire-crackers placed in close relation
ship to their faces, hut the brute* resolute- '
ly refused to mangle and tear to pieces 1 1
each other for the purpose of edifying a j
crowd of amusement seekers. Theaudi-!:
enec finally remunerated themselves for
the outlay necessary for admission by
killing the animals themselves. The
manager of the affair would have disap
pointed no one if ho had simply an
nounced that there would ho a fight be
tween blood-thirsty brutes, without spe
cifying the species of the animals who
were to participate therein.
A Pai'hktic iScbnk.*—The Milwakie
American publishes the following inci
dent :
The wife of one of our sailors on the
accent wreck was upon the deck with an
infant, only three weeks old in her arms,
to loam if her husband was alive or
drowned. She was in a state bordering
on frenzy.
On beingtold that ho was dead, she
gave one b(#g sob of agony; while the
blue eyes of the babe were turned smiling
ly to her face, sliti cried in accents of
most heart-thrilling dispair, “O! is he
gone, am I alone, is he dead—drowned?
Is my man gone, and will he never come
to me?”
In this state she returned to her deso
late home, no one ventured to offer words
of sympathy. The light and warmth of
this poor woman’s life had gone out for
ever. All through the long hours she
sat weeping and rocking to and fro, and
pressing her child to her heart, for it was
ill, till midnight. Then she heard a
feeble step and a knock at the door; she
said, “Who's there?” “It's J,” the
familiar voice replied. She gave a scream
of joy and admitted Iter husband.
Nothing could exceed the woman's
frantic delight. She threw herself upon j
the floor and wept, and clung to her hus-!
hand’s neck and laughed till the tears !
came again. Such a happy re-union was
a foretaste of heaven.
Love like this can but he repaid with
a lifetime of devotion.
The sailor, it seems, laid left the
wreck and at the imminent peril of his
life reached the shore and had walked
twenty miles ere he reached his home.
Noble Spirits.
The following savors much of Douglas
Jorrohl, and is a worthy sentiment:
We love nolle men. i'ull them this
way and the other, and they only bend,
never break. Trip them down, aial in
u trice they arc on their f t again.
ISury them in the mud, and in an hour
they would he out and bright. You can
not destroy them, they are the salt of the
earth. IV ho but they start, any noble!
project? 'They build our cities', whiten
the ocean with their sails, and Idaeken
the heavens with the smoko of theircars.
Look to them, young men, and catch the
snarl: of their energy, and .when you feel
the blood run Warm in your hearts at
the thought of some noble purpose, do
not let its flow he checked, even though
the world bo ever so censorioss, or mis
judging ; and though you may have seen
many, a brave heart lacerated at tin
world’s heartlessnesa falter not, hut pi *css
on—try the steep pass; up, up its rag
ged summit, and you shall attain its
highest station.
A Hfmkdy rou Lock-Jaw.—A cor
respondent iu an exchange writes:
“ 1 have noticed lately several deaths by
lock-jaw, and for the information of all,
I will give a certain remedy. When any
one runs a nail or any sharp iron in anv
part of his body, take a common smoke
pipe. tiff it with tobacco, light it well,
then take a cloth or silk handkerchief
place it over the howl of the pipe, and
blow the smoko through the stem into
the wound ; two or three pipefulls will be
sufficient to set the wound discharging.
I have tried it myself, and five others,
and found it gave immediate relief. If
the wound has been some days striding,
it will open again if the tobacco is good.
Try it any one who may chance to "ot
such a wound,
(>n Timka.— In Columbia, S. C..the
old English customs have not died out.
The BtierilTof the Court still goes to the
Judges residence attired in a cocked hat,
and wearing a sword, to escort his Honor
to the Court room ; and the Judge goes
oovored with a long silk robe, in which
he takes liis seat on tho bench.
Habit in a child is at first like a
spider’s web, if neglected, it becomes a
thread or twine; next a cord or rope;
finally a oable; and who can breuk it ?
S&T Integrity is the first moral virtue,
benevolence the second, and prudence
the third; without the first, the two hit

former tho latter would be often useless.

V of Montgomery county that we Imvc the
KXCLt'SIVK AHUNOV for supplying them
with this invaluable Machine, for ISSO, and so- J
licit their early orders.
In Inlying McC(IiIMICK’S REAPING \N'D
MOWING .MACHINE, voe mask no kxckui
vu.vr. It Inis been long in use and well tested.
The whole world knows it to be tho lest must
com], Me working aiul thoroughly reliable Machine
in use.
It is very substantially made, with heavy
wrought iron liny, r-bcam, serrated siekle-cdgell
Cutter, very sold.mi requiring to be ground ;
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sic kle, land
ing it admirably on tbe platform to the linker's
hand. It is easily adjusted to out any height
of stubble, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving a holt. It does its work perfectly and
equally so, whether the groin be heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and at any rub’'
of speed.
In Mowing, the Reel effectually clears the
finger-beam of grass and other substances; thus
preventing the sieklc from choking, leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir
ing no other hand bat the driver. It cuts a
swarth near si? feet wide, and at a fair farm
work gait does the work of fire cradle re ami
mowers.
In evidence of the entire satisfaction this ma
chine gives, we stale, that of the 2500 machines
made and sold lust year, placed into all kinds
of hands, and over the grain growing parts of
tile l uited .States, not a single purchaser lias
given Mr. McOorinick an intimation of a wish
to return his machine.
About eighty of our Montgomery Farmers
(referred to below) own and use them, all of
whom will cheerfully hear testimony to their
thorough efficiency in doing their work as well
for their great economy in their use by saving
labor and cleaner saving of grain and grass :
