After dickering some time with the long-legged dour-keeper, Jedediah Homespun up and spent a quarter to see the Siamese Twins. Looking hi the curious pair some time, Jedediah busted: ' How long you fellers been in this 'ere : kind of hitch!" 'Forty-two years," was Enjj's reply, it, I "I)u tell!

A girl was about crossing Merwin street bridge with a little wagon, containing what a casual observer would suppose to be a child a neat little counterpane folded delicately down from the 'neck' of the innocent, and its ', face concealed by a blue veil. Presently, in ascending the bridge, the vehicle j unfortunately upet, and out rolled the ' precious contents, in the shape of not a 'baby,' gentle reader, but a well filled vvhiskt jug! which was dashed to pieces against a stone. The grief of the , old folks at home' for the loss ol the j 'dear cray thur' whose 'spirit' thus uncerim jniously took its flight, was no doubt inconsolable. Cleveland True Dem., ; July 12.

f'Huipmce tings. We have always been the advocate and defender of campnieetings, and we regret that the church has somew hat yielded to the non.

ular clamor against them. Hear what Zion's Herald says upon the subject: "Dot the camp meeting, it is said, has its evils; good men are found with objections against it on their lip. This is not rtruuge, since everything human has its imperfections, hvery cooi1 gained on t-arlh h as Its tiriert nf pain and inconvenience. Even moral strength, the glory of the good man, u born oulv amid the evil of Hem conflicts. It would be strange therefore, if the camp meeting were wholly free from objections.

When camp meeting companies returu physically enfeei bled from the camp grouuil, this objection I will deserve consideration. But so long as the ; contrary is the fact, it is hard y worlu while ; to discuss it.

Granted, my good brother, that it is so iu some cases. ' We have a very small class of camp meeting I zealots anmiij us, whose zeal rises, culmi nates and sets during the camp meeting sea son. f or such e have not a word to bay, ih..i oosiMv iheir niii.n.i except to suggest 'hit possibly tlieir auuun) I awakening is the only thu g that reuders them at all tolerable us church members. But against their dis istrous example we set the fact, known and read of all meu, that there is scarcely a Methmli.-t soek'ty in the country which has not some namp meeting couverts so called among its very brighest ornaments. Ami not a few of our strongest aui best ministers were saved at camp meeting. It in our sober opinion, founded on Uventy years of pretty extensive observation, that, as a rule, persous converted ut our camp meetings are as persevering as tho.-e who are s.ived at our church altars. 5. But it eucourages excesses Extravagances are oor 11 in it; enthusiasm aud fanaticism nestle in its tents. If these things were soi we would cease to defend the camp meeting; for we sincerity dislike religious extravagance', and believe them to be alike offensive to God and injurious to man. But we deny the assertion. That there is noise, stir, and considerable excitement, is unquestionable. But the noise is not confusion; the excitement is not unhealthy. You hear 110 rant from the stand ; you rarely meet with it i.i the tents. True, at limes a few ill traineil and extrav.igaut minds develop their objectionable peculiarities there; but they are the exception, not the rule. Whatever of fanaticism may have found place iu the past history of the camp meeting, finds no ap proval in it now. Would those grave and conservative minds who merely object to Ihe camp meeting, atteiiitl it, where practicable, their uiluience would help to keep it more1 certainly in the right direction. j (i. The camp meeting is the occasion of j much wickedness among tlie vile who love; to collect in its outskirts. True, there is I generally a gang of vile fellows" in the pur- 1 lieus of a camp meeting; and so there are large numbers of wicked person at the Sabbath evening prayer meetings of our churches iu large towns aud cities. Such uneasy minds are found every where at all kinds 01 ptiDlic assentmies. we. could never see the force of this objection, because the camp j meeting 13 111 no sense responsible for their sins. Such persons are not made vile, nor is their wickedness increased by any of the 1 services or adjuncts of the meeting; while it' not uufrequf nllv happens that diving truth! reaches some of them, aud they "wno came i to laugh remaiu to pray-" j Such are the chief objections we remember j to have heard urged against the camp meet- j ing.

Mr. Charles Percival, veterinary surgeon of the Royal Artillery, furnishes the following communication to one of the Dublin papers: 'I have lately been devoting much-attention to shoeing, and flatter myself that the horses under my care are as well shod as any in her Majesty's service. I have had reversed,, making the latter as concave as the foot will possibly admit of, leaving only pufficient room between the shoe and the foot for the pricker to pasi freely round, to remove dirt, &,c. To the heels of the shoe I have given an inclined plain outwards on th foot sur- ; face, with three nails on the inside and ' four on the outside. The heels, instead of being cut off straight, are well sloped and about the same thickness as the toe. : The shoe one-third as thick at the heel as the toe, recommended by the late pro cessor, the majority of our horses could not travel in. There are many pernicious practices which smiths in general, if left to themselves, fall into, viz: 1. Mutilating the frogs by improper cutting. I have at length got my farriers to understand that the only part of the frog which ever requires cutting, unless ragged, is the point, to prevent the sensible frog bping bruised between it and the coffin bone. 2. Inflicting serions injury to the crust by an improper use of the rasp, but especially the coarse side of it. 3. In fitting the shoes, by cutting too. much out of the crust at the toe to admit the clip. The shoe is consequently set too far back, instead of being fitted, full to the crust, and afterwards rasping away the crust, making the foot, in fact, to fit the shoe, instead of the shoe to fit the foot. This is a faulty practice, and very seriously so, which smiths in general are very apt to fall into; cae, tooy which renders the crust shelly, for that part into which the nails are driven from llme lo l'me is in this way rendered weak. 4.

In rasping the under part of the clinches, farriers are very apt to-apply the edge of the rasp improperly to the crust, forming a deep groove round the same, which cannot but be injurious to the foot and, together with taking' away too much of the crust in finishing ofl'the foot, must have a tendency to render it shelly. Curving the shoe at the toe af tcr the French fashion, where horses, go, near the ground, I am very fond of; but I cannot see any advantage in it as a general practice. GaodFartuv The committee appointed by the Eush, county Agricultural Society, to. award the premiums for the two bes tilled! farms in that county, have made ai long and interesting report and awarded the first premium to Jabez Reeves, of Center Township, and second to George Kelley, of Rushviile Township.
