General Garibaldi.

Garibaldi, who is now doing good service in Italy, was born on the 4th of July, and will be fi ty-two years old on the occurrence of our next national anniversary. He is a native of Nice, and, therefore, a born subject of the Sardinian royal house. Of all the leaders of the liberals in 1848—’9, Garibaldi was the most straight-forward and sensible, and he is as brave as he is able and honest. In his early life he was a sailor, but in 1834 he was implicated in the Savoy Revolution and compelled to flee from the country. He Went to South America, where he raised no Italian legion of eight hundred men, and, as a citizen ol Monte Video, he joined in the war against R >sas, the tyrant of Buenos Ayres. In 1848 Garibaldi went back to Italy and enlisted.under Clearies Albert, King of Sardinia, who was then at war with Austria. That monarch was defeated and compelled to abdicate before Garibaldi could do anything for Italy. He had, however, some desperate fights with the Austrians. He was prominently connected with the formation of the Republic of Rome, when the Pope fled front that city in 1848. He was one of its most gallant defenders against the French when they took it. nnd replaced the Pontiff on the throne in 1849. Alter the failure of the Roman Republic he fled to Sardinia, where he was taki n and imprisoned for some time. Permission was finally given him to emigrate to the United States. He came here and remained until 1854. Such is the tnan —a veteran revolutionist, who at the last accounts had unfurled the flag of rebellion in Austrian Lombardy. Owen county Journal contains the following item: Mr. A. L. Nichols, of Morgan township, in tltis county, some twelve miles from here, is the possessor of a curious production ol nature — a calf with hut three legs. This curiosity was claved on the sth of May, aud I is said to be remarkably active and sprightly, being able to get over ground as rapidly, as many of the four legged kind. Its foreparts are well formed and natural, and its no!y defect is the übs nee of the right hind |pg. hip, and line bone. The calf looks well and grows as rapidly. Mx- N. says, as any he ever saw
