Mr. Allen Ross,the agent and warden cf the Auburn, N. Y. prison., received a will this morning bequeathing property to the amount of $32,000 to a convict named William R. Haight, sentenced from Catteratigus county. The property consists of real estate located in the city of New York. He was apprise! of his mothers death a few days siince, and she, in her will, gave him all her property. Like a good many

The jollieot fellow we have heard of in many a day, is a Cincinnati rough named Hargan, who had a little diversion Christmas night with one of his boon companions. The telegraph tells the story quite as well as we could tell i t :

county, where he was arrested for grana larceny, and sentenced to the Auburn prison for two years and
six months. He has served six months only, and will no doubt rest uneasy for the coming two years,, in ! view of the anticipated enjoyment of the sudden and unexpected amount of property falling to him, Great horror has recently been expressed in Bacchanalian circles?, at an item of information in the Internal revenue report?, concerning slii iulating fluids. At Cincinnati, 42,000 barrels of "Saloon washings" are re-distilled every )'car, yielding about two and a half gallons of newspirits each. The slops bring about 2 per barrel. We do not know why re-distilled, bar-room slops, should disturb the equanimity of tough old absorbers, who have been so long complacently imbibing strychnine, belia-donna, cocculus indicus, sugar of lead, and other chemicals, which lend such a fascination to the sparkling and rosy beaker. The rc-dfctillcd rinsings arc not particularly dirty, we presume, until they have been doctored, find need no more trouble the stomach than foreign wines trodden o.it hy the unwashed feet of Spanhsh ox German peasants.

The New York Times heartily commends a bill introduced into the Hon fie by Mr. Thayer, which proposes to amend the Homestead laws so as to require the planting of trees o;i homestead settlements. There
can be no doubt that the effect of
such a measure would be uo benefit the country immensly in the course of a few generations. In districts where timber is scarce we would b living up wealth lor posterity, at small co.t or trouble to ourselves, by planting trees to say nothing of thesheltcr which would bi afforded lor cattle, and the picturcsqnoness which would be added to every landscape. The last point may f?ecm of small account, but most people prefer to have their houses pleasantly situated, and nothing improves a homestead more than trees.

A fatal accident occurred in the
blacksmith shop of Mr. Hilder brandt, on Christmas day, at Monti
cello. One of the workmen,, named Gerlack, was endeavoring to remove
the thimble off a broken axle, for which purpose he was holding it in the fire, when an explosion occurred of so forcible a character as to drive the fractured axle into his bowels. He died in a few hours, leaving a wife and three children. The accident is supposed to have been the result of an explosion of steam
generated in a cavity in the end of
the axle, under the thimble skew..
A liowlinrr Irishman, -with-an ;in-

One dollar, said the polite dentist,
reaching for his forceps. "Now,
Docther, honey' said JPat, "1 work

halt dollar, and lave me the big end o' ray days vropdii to buy mate for the old woman an' the gossoons?" The Doctor could and did. There
wasja wrench, a howl, a blood curd-;
ling crash, and an immense, tbteefanged grinder was placed in Pat's hand. He tamed it over, "bad-
lucked it, and then tendered the Doctor one of the basest of couo- , terfeit fifties. The Doctor told Pat . it was spurious. "Well," said Pat"I know where I got it. Give it t , me . an' I'U go and get a good one for : it." "But," Baid ttie Doctor, . dubiously, "whaL&ureJty lave I that you'll ooiae back VI Hf 'mbi Pt.t, innocently, "IH lave the tooth . wid ye."

The present condition of financial affairs can only be relieved by the enlargement of the volume oif currency in the country, and it is expscted that Congress will take up this subject immediately after it reassembles. It is stated that a careful canvass of both Houses on the subject, warrants the prediction that a majority of thow are in favor of it, and are ready to add rest! themselves to its solution without further delay.
All the fetories told of the Siamese twins hardly etjual this of the Scotch doable-rtiim, of whom the following account is given by the Return Siwiiarum Hhior'ta-: "During the reign of James III, of Scotland, and at bis court, there lived a ' man double above the waist,- and single below that region. The king caused him to be-carefully brought ap. He rapidly acquired a knowledge of music ; the two heads learned several language; they debated together, . and the two upper halves occasional
ly fougat. They lived, generally, however, in the greatest harmony. When the lower part of the body was tickled the two individuals felt it together : but when, on the pther hand, one of the upper individuals ; was touched he alone felt the effect. The monstrous being died at the ' age of twenty-eight years. One of the bodies died several -day3 -before the other." . : -

A very amusing affair is reported
to have occurred in an lndianapoii;
church, Sunday. A lady leaned
forward in prayer, and the bill of
her bird one of tropical plumage in her head-gear caught in the chignon of a lady sitlinir in the next
pew. She could not raise her head
for fear of losing the bird, or her
whole hat ; the lady m lront was in
agony lest she shoui'.l loe her innr
and sat bolt upright, white the intervention of a third prty was called in to make the naughty bird loosen its hold. 1. Yottb newspapers might to be preserved in regular book form.
