The robber was recognized as a notorious horse thief who had long infested the neighborhood.

A rudely constructed gallows, and a stout rope ended his existence. So on the thinly settled frontiers of the west do they moet out justice to offenders against property and ltfg. About seventeen hundred dmars in bills were found on the person of the robber, besides the gold he had taken from Mrs. Dean. As there were no claimant*) for the bills, at the suggestion of the stranger, whose life had been saved from the anger of the winter storm by the shelter he had found in the smoke-house, a thousand dollars of the seventeen hundred were presented to Milly in consideration of what she had passed through, and the remainder was divided around. the great ad to the sawdus 103 Murray, near Weit Street, GEO.

He filled his pockets with the golden coin, and threw the empty box in the fire. Then he came and stood beside her. Marauding Cattle.—Cattle may be educated into almost anything. A quiet cow maybe converted into a skillful jumper in a single season. The first requisite for such training is short feed, resulting from overstocking. The second is low fences; and the third tempting crops of corn beyond these fences. In the spring grass is usually good, and corn and other crops are usually uninviting; but during this present midsummer period, when pasture is dried ud, the process often begins. One or two rails are accidentally knocked or blown from the fence ; the quiet and orderly animals stretch tlieir heads over to reach a morsel of the tall grass; they drive down accidentally two or three moro rails, and finally leap over. The owner drives them out as soon as they have learned the difference between dclicious food on one side and short commons on the other, and puts up a rail. They have already learned to leap a little, and the next day they improve and go a rail higher. Another rail is ndci.J, and the process is repeated until they become quite expert. We have many inquiries from oar correspondents, why their ice melts away ao rapidly. As a general answer we might say, you take too much pains in building tight ice-houses. Wo never saw ice kept better than in a board shanty. The air must blow freely over the top of the sawdust, and this shanty was open all around. A rough floor admitted free drainage; about eight inches of sawdust was spread evenly over this floor; the ice then built up in square blocks, leaving about eight inches around next to the siding of the shanty* which was filled and packed in as the structure of the ioe went up; and lastly the top was covered with about eight inches of sawdust. This was the whole process. The ice kept perfectly; was used all last summer, and aboat two tons, which was left over was thrown out last winter when the building was refilled. A thickness of «ight inches packed sawdust may be regarded as a perfect non-conductor of heat, for all practical purposes—perhaps six inches would do, if fine and evenly packed. If not packed, it may hare cavities or orifices, and admit enough warm air to melt the Wlioie.— uoumry oennman. J"\R. C. R.

Being ordered under confinement, he turned about suddenly, kioked a Col. who stood near is the stomach so hard that he cat down, knocked a corporal who had charge of him head over heels, and invited Beauregard to "come on and get lammed," declaring that "if lie didn't have a muss he'd spile."— Finding none of the surprised lookers-on started to meet him, he took to his heels down a lane. Several shots were fired Dt him without effect. At each successive discharge he would turn to make grimaces at his pursuers, or jump high in the air and yell as if struck. Suddenly a Lieut, with a drawn sword, sprang before him from an adjacent building. "S-a-a-y, what are jam about, a pinting that thing at me T" exclaimed Zouave.

But the instinct of self-preservation was strong upon her. She evaded him, flew to the chimney piece, matched her husband's loaded rifle from the hooks on which it hung, cocked and presented it at the breast of tho robber. Her motions were so rapid that before he could prevent it, her finger had pressed the trigger and there was an explosion. 1 But with equal readiness the man had stepped aside, the ball had passed over his head, and the next instant his gripe was on her throat.
