WAR HORSES. General Washington had two favorite horses; one a large elegant parade horse of a chesnut colour, high spirited, and a gallant carriage; this horse had belonged to the British army: the other was smaller, and his colour sorrrel. This he used always to ride in time of action; so that whenever the General mounted him the word ran through the ranks, "we have business on hand."

At the battle of Germantown, General Wayne rode his gallant roan, and in charging; the enemy, his horse received a wound in his head, and fell, and was supposed dead. Two days after, the roan returned to the American camp, not materially injured, and was aagain fit for service. Tenn. Feb. 10. DREADFULLY CATASTROPHE.

PROVERBS. A fool's tongue is long enough to cut his throat. A hand saw is a good thing, but not to shave with. A good servant, always makes a good master. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. A bad workman, has to quarrel with his tools. A wild goose, never laid a tame The best remedy for injuries, is not to remember them. When honour becomes merce-

nary money will become honorable Worth in base minds, begets envy; in great souls, emulation. Wolves may lose their teeth, but not their nature. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY From the New York Enquirer The Bible. It been stated that a very interesting; discovery has been made in Persia, of the Book of Jasher;

captivity, left several of their sacred granted by that great monarch, and confirmed by Darius, permitting them to go , . n to their native land, was so promptly ac - . 'i i' t ii Ir-if limine rrhrviAiia m s r-1 a v An I opted, that many religious works were left behind. We have at least eight or ten Books referred to in the Bible : .. . ret r "Book of the Acts of Solomon," "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah," "Book of Samuel the Seer," "Book of Nathan the Prophet," "Book of God the Seer," "The Vision of Iddo the Seer," "Book of Shemiah the Prophet," "Book of Jehu." We shall doubtless find many of the missing books in Persia, and no place the Book of Jasher had been obtained by "Alcurin, the most eminent man of his time, from Persia." It appears, also, that it has been accidentally thrown in the way of Mr. Samuel, an eminent and skilful Hebrew. It is a singular concurrence of events that two copies of this book, so long sought after in vain, should be obtained almost at the same time. Mr. Samuel is now engaged in translating it into English, and it will be published shortly, with the Hebrew on one side and the English on the other, with notes critical and historical. The Book, it terms, has been preserved by the Jews in the East, and some few copies were printed in Poland twenty It is written in that plain and beautiful style that will sufficiently testify its great antiquitv. and which is the chief cause of my publishing it, with the Hebrew text attached to it: however much I venerate the scriptures,, and however infinite I consider the distance between and the inspired volume which we possess, I am still bold to declare that its language is equally beautiful, and throughout one hundred and sixty pages it keeps up the same chaste, elegant, and historical style as that much admired part of Scripture--the history of Joseph. It commences with the creation of man, containing very -0 j copious accounts of the Jewish records, not at all mentioned in scripture, and reaches as far as Joshua. The two places in Scripture wherein the Book of Jasher is mentioned, are beautifully cleared up through this Book particularly that in 2 Samuel, chap. 1. v. xviii. "Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow; behold it is written in the Book of Jasher." It also elucidates many other parts of Scripture, and will set right come of the most perplexing parts of chronology. Water power at Rochester N.Y. -A writer in the Rochester Telegraph, speaking of the water at that place, describes it as "capable of operating 114 flour mills of four runs of stone each, or the same number of cotton

factories , each of 3000 spindles, or 340,

000 spindles, and the action of what is

called a twenty horse power steam en- . . .i i gine is just equal to the impulse given by 1000 cubic feet of water falling in a minute through a space of 10 feet, this unoccupied power is equal to 340 such engines, &, the annual expense of maintaining the power of each engine being estimated in English at 1000 sterling money, our surplus water power (supposing the annual expense of supplying such engine here to be the same as in England,) would produce us an annual income of 340,000 sterling." The writer says that it should be noted, that he has taken as his data the quantity of water flowing in the Genessee river at that place, at the lowest ebb of one of the dryest seasons which have occurred for many years.
