J., Iiuh an original document from the pen of George Washington that is of far greater interent than the usual old manuscripts of the Father of his Country discovered from time to time. This letter never appeared iu print until it appeared iu the col .loins of a local newspaper a few days ago. The document is a call to Jersey men to take up arms in the defense of the country. It was written in Trenton Gve days after the celebrat ed capture of the town by the American forces, in commemoration of which the Trenton battle mouu inent was raised a little over a year ago. It was written on a sheet of paper eight inches wide and ten long, aud an accurate copy of it is us follows: 4To the Frieuds in tbe State of New Jersey. 'The Army of tbe Americau States under my command being lately greatly reinforced, aud having enter e)d the State of New Jersey, I most warmly request the militia of said Statu at this Important Crisis to Evince their live to their Couutry by boldly Stepping forth and de fending the Cause of Freedom. The Inhabitants may be assured that by manly aud spirited Conduct they may now relieve their Distressed State from the Depredations of our Euemiea I have therefore dispatch hi Coll. Neilson, Majors Taylor, Van Kiuburgb, aud Freliughuyeen, together with some other Gentle :ueu of your State, to call to gether and Embody your Militia, not doubt iug but Success will attend their endeavors. GroitcJE Washington. "Trenton, Ml Dec 177fJ." The coutineutal army wan ll ashed with it? success at Trenton, but the master inia 1 of the commander was alert and as watchful in ever. He was lookiug iuto the future, and knew full well that the battle ground was to shift to places further up the Slate. If Jerseymeii were lukewarm the American arms would bo very seriously iu jeopardy. It was the crisis, as he called it, aud he tried to make the people of the State ap preciate it, appealing to their best and highest sentiments of patriot ism. The Major Frelinghuysen whom the document alludes to had taken charge of a battery of artillery at Trenton five days before, and was a tried and trusted officer of the mili tia. He afterwards became a colonel of militia, aud at the close of the war wa sent to tbe I'uithd States Senate from that State. He was a professor at Rutgers during the greater part of the Revolution, and his direct descendents are well known aud highly esteemed in that city to day.

Mr. Weeks got the document from a friend in the South, and it seemed to have been found among 'Washington s papers after his leatb. It was originally folded through the center in both directions, or, in other words, folded , twice, so that it made a small aud ) compact parcel. Oue corner, the j upper left hand, is soiled, as if it had , been opened from the corner very j frequently. The way it was folded j leads one to suspect that it was j given into the care of a hmetim:i. ' who tucked it away hi pocket in i the smallest possible compass.

The drv7- fsistsaLL fill, it CHANGED HIS ELECTRIC PIANO. A Saloonkerprr I"lnU That cnr It Not Suited for a Btrraom. A certain saloon, wishing" to piease its patrons without the txrx."nc of hir ing" a. lonc-hairvtl piaii:.t. bought an electric piano, says tho Indianapolis ScutiiieL Those pianos arc verv fuanv to watch, for they tart v.p a tune and jro straight ahead and play ;t to the bitter end without anyone near them. ' To a person who Joes not understand the motive power, the thing appears uncaimv; and the bovs prepared t- : have lots of fun. The saloon was full : cf patrons when somebxly slyly turned ; on the current and the piano started, j Out came the solemn, luaiestie strains ' f "Tuunhauser." A u;.m who was j drinking at the bar set down his glass i and shivered. Three men playing j curds began to get nervous and. finally, j with a cuss word or two, gave up the j game. Still the piano thundered out j the audience, not Wing familiar with Wagner, got bluer and bluer. The owner saw that the piano had made a mistake and hastened to assure his patrons that he hud either pieces and would put a new t no in. This he did, and the men brightened up a little while waiting to hear the new piece. Many expressions of dNgust at hearing a funeral dirge on such an eeasjon were hurled at the owner. Everyone had aKiut resumed his original atti tude when the piano -a given another trial. This time it was "Lohengrin." and while the piece was a little bright er, it was not festive. One man de clared it had leen played at his grand father's funeral or sister's wedding, he forgot which. This piece was taken out and a third tried, but it was an ar rangement of the national hymns with variations, anil was just as solemn. The piano was closed for the night and in the morning the proprietor rushed to find some more suitable pieces. Now the piano plays "The Uogie Man," "With Danny by My Side" and the "Washington Tost March.' and the crowd is delighted. Hut the piano came near wrecking the saloon the first night. If it lmd been Me-erleer instead of Wagner perhaps the name would have carried the music through. A WELL AS A BAROMETER. It It on a dtttaraiiKus Comity Farm, and Infallibly Foretells Weather. There is a curious well on the Flint farm, in the town of Creat Valley, Cat taraugus county, N. Y. It is a natural barometer. Nolxxly ever passes that farm, winterer summer, if the weather is settled, without asking something like this: "Does the well threaten a change'.'" For everyone knows that if there is bad weather coming the well will let them know it. sure as sure can be, says the New York Sun. They call the well v.p there the "whi-tling well," although it doesn't whistle now. lint that isn't any fault of the well. This well was dug about fifty years ago by the father of Col. Flint, who now occupies the farm, lie put it down forty-live feet, but found no water, and dug no further. Instead of water, a strong current of air came from the well at times. The opening was covered with a big Hat stone, and for amusement a hole was drilled in the stone and a big tin whistle fitted into it. This whistle had two tones one when the air rushed up from the well, and a different one when the counter current sucked the air back into the mysterious depths. It wasn't long before the discovery was made that within forty-eight hours after the outrushing current from the well started the whistle to shrieking a storm invariably followed. When the tone of the whistle was changed by the reversing f the current, it was f'iscovc red that the change meant a change find the coming of fair weather. Thee weather signals never failed. When the weather v.a settled the whistle was silent. The whistle got nut of order some y ears ago, and, for some reason, v.-as never repaired, but the coming and going currents of air still prophesy the coming of their re spective "spells of weather" with un varying infallibility.
