" In the King's name halt," commanded Captain Dick, or rather Captain Richard Holmes, a man superior in some respects to his companion. "Shall 1 be deaf, or stupid,.or Dutch," queiied ihe pedlar to himself. Open defiance is a last resource. But he quickly decided as Wolf called, " Halt, ihou base, low, pedling «oward, or I'll crop thy ears with my sabre." Nerving his arm, ho suddenly slopped and turned to meet them.

HAIL TO THE STARS AND STRIPES, Founts of a Good Horse.—Zadock Pratt, in a lecture on the horse, gives his opinion of what constitutes good points : He should be shout fifteen and a half hands high ; the head light and clean made ; wide between the nostrils, and the nostrils themselves large, transparent and open 5 broad in the forehend ; eyes prominent, clear and sparkling ; ears small ;— neatly set on ; neck rather short, and well set up; large arm or shoulder, well thrown baokj and high; withers arched and high ; legs fine, flat, thin and small boned ; body round and rather light, tho' sufficiently large to afford substance when it is needed; full sliest, affording play for the lungs ; back short, with the hind quar. ters set on rather obliquely. Any one possessing a horso of this make and appearance, and weighing eleven or twelve hundred pounds, may rest assured he has a horse of all work,and a bargain well yvorth gelling hold of. Mr. Pratt is now seventy years of age, and has always been an admirer of fine horses, and is a competent judge. There are in Mr. P.'s leisures} many valuable hints. W« give two or three. Care of Horses.—No Jiflrse can endure, labor all the time. A few months in pasture, alter being high fed and worked for several years, will rtnew his energies, as stated perjods of rest and recreation will preserve the vital energies of man unimpaired through a long life; and by a wise law of Providence, which is as beneficial to tho beast as to the man, a horse will do more lubor in six days, than if he were worfced the whole seven.

Jenkins Block, Pittston, June 29, 1855* ARSENIC SMOKERS, Travellers have already given account* of tho arsenic eaters of the Carpathian mountains. This drug gave them blooming complexions, and enabled them to endure long ascending walks on the fnou#,' tains without overtaxing their lungs. They had however to increase the dose continually, and life closed between the two alternatives, to stop and die of inanition, or go on and die of the excess. A correspondent of the 'Tribune,' speaking of the same habit, refers to the statement of M. Montigny, French Consul in China, in reference to the use of arsenic'by the- Chinese. He says they mingle it in their tobacco.— The custom is peculiar to certain provinces, and so common that, according to'(be testimony of the missionaries who lived a long time there, lobacco free from arsenic is not sold. The same witnesses assured the Consul that the arsenic smokers were stout, hearty fellows, with lungs like 9 blacksmith's bellows, and rosy as cherubs. The publication of Montigny's statement has called out a letter fiom Dr. Londa, who announces that some years ago, in the course of a discussion at the Academy of Medicine, on the agents to be employed in the cure of tubercular csnsumption, he told the assembled doctors that he had found but one means of combatting tjpt dreadful disease; that mean* Was tbe smoking of arsenic. The doctor re affirm* his commendation of his remedy. How singular it would be, if a remedy /or tne widespread plague of consumption were to be found in the counter-poison ot thi* horrid and inexplicable habit. J .

"Ay, quiet will I be, but live hundred pounds ! "Jove ; 'lis enough to reward the taking of two spies. Up, my gallant nag! thou »halt- be stablad a fortnight,, il thou does thy duty." However, the path was much longer than they imagined. Darkness came on, and long before nigli'lull they were compelled to rest themselves and their beasts a*, a log house that opportunly lay in their way. Aft«r a cnupleof hours they pursued their object, and at length emerged on the high road, upon which, as they conjcctured, tbe fugitive was a league in advance of them, hastening towards the American rendezvous. John Putnam, who had so easily duped his pursueis, at the deserted hotel before mentioned, deserted because ol a late foray and murderous attack upon it by the British, was indeed hurrying along the turnpike with a pack on bis shoulders and a Muffin his hand. Under thrilling of bis elollies were secreted descriptions ol the English forces lying in the vicinity, which it was necessary to place in Wathinglon's possession, before he could make any decisive movement. Putnam's commission had thus far been successful, aud upon his safe return reposed the equal success ol bis commander. Therefore, knowing he was pursued, be had already assumed and doffed several disguises, in the course of one hundred miles travel, and at length, in bis original costume, hailed the familiar spots which indicated his approach to the American outposts. "Thank Heaven !" he exclaimed, "that these weary limbs are near home. But thrice the distance would I walk, and ay ! even let mysell be hanged at the door of an inn to further Washington's glory, aud save the lives of my countrymen." "God !" he cried, looking upward, "Thou who watche'sl thisstrugule for Liberty, smile upon our last effort! Save from tyranny thy true believers." "But the sun will be up, anon ; I must quicken mv gait; already these troopers westward, along the river." Dick on observing ihe pedlar's bravo face «, t'itua "Huzza, five hundred pounds—down on thy marrow hones and beg for thy life." "What want ye with mi V demanded the American. "Want ?. Ask our Colonel—nek the gibbet on tomorrow's dawn. Want! Why down spy, pn thy knees and surrender !" "That 1 will not," shoutrd the other, with a sudden energy that startled both the soldiers. Flinging off" his burden, by a quick motion he caught up his club, and with the first blow shivered (o' pieces the sword uplifted by the captain to arrest him. Thy steel Wolf! H«'s broken mine!— Traitor by Heaven thou shall die ! "Nuy, nay, it taketh two lo make a bar. gain," coolly suid Putnam, and while the cnpiain was grasping his pistols another blow from the staff discha/sed one of them in the air, and so discomfited him that for a mCDmein he remained inactive. Wolt struck the spy's shoulder with his weapon, but made no dangerous wound, and boldly seizing him, the latter by main strength dragged the burly fellow from iiis saddle. "A thousand furies1" shrieked he, " I believe thou art Satan !" "Let this convince thee," cried the facetious pedlar,grasping the rascal's sword, and by a wonderful exertion, wrenched it from him and diopped his stick. By this time Dick had recovered, and firing his pistol, its ball entered the pedlar's leg, causing him. for an instant (o tremble with pain. " Help," screamed the conquered bully as he full'under a severe blow from his sword, and then as the captain leaped from his horse to assist, the scenc iiccame tliril. ling almost to cxcess. The sword proving useless in this close eonfliot, Putnam dexterously broke it in pieces with his fooi, and kicking the prostrate soldier at the same time, grappled with Dick, who was almost e,qual to him in strength and courage. "St. George for me !"cri«d Dick. "God and libeity for me!" shouted the Continental. " Dog, 1 have thee now," muttered Dick, clutching the other's throat. "Ujj, Wolf j up and aid mo I am choking him." "Boast not yet," gasped the other, re. covering his hold "Take that!" said Wtjlf, picking .up the spy's stick and stricking him with it. " And take thou this, and may God pardon me for it!" thundered the pedlar, as he lilted his right aim, and drove his heavy fist against the soldier's head, redding it with blood and brains. The unfortunate man tell down dead, like an ox belore the bulchei's axe. v At this awlul sight the lieutenant was appalled, but by strong efforts maintained his position. The pair fought Athletic, struggling, striking and groaning in the fierceness of their combat. At leng4h the spy fell on the grass, paralyzed by the mi«ht of his powerful antagonist. "Oh, Washington !" ho moaned, "must 1 fail at length ? Nay—nay." " Curse thy doomed Washington !" exclaimed the other. Pitixtun, April 13, 1803, E A OLE HOTEL, PitUtou, Pa J A s F 13 R 15.

"Oh, do, don't .!'* entreated the wife. "But I am a dishonest man," said he. "Well, hadn't we better go and see Mr. , your bondsman, first?" she continued. He thought that plan a proper one, so his fast team was harnessed up, and they drove into the city. Calling at the house of the bondsman, they were warmly welcomed, and invited to remain over night. "But I am in trouble," said :he treasurer. '• Never mind that," urged his friend. "1 am a ruined man," con? tinucd the other, "1 am a defaulter to a large amount" "Oh, I knew that long ago—I knew when you bought your house that you stole the money to pay for it,"— answered the bondsman. " 1 have thought 1 should commit suicide to prevent the disgrace," said the defaulter, and I have come in to consult you about it." "Just the best thing can do," said his friend.
