A Good Word for the Skunk. The Anperiean Agriculturist takes up the cudgels in defence of the poor, despised, but seldom-kicked skunk, snd gives him a good notice. Our cotemporary says "AH summer long he roams yorir pas* tares at night, picking up beetles and grubs poking with his nose potato bills where ma* ny worms sea at work. He is after the grabs, not the tubers. He takes possession of the apartments of the woodohuck, who has quartered himself and family upon your qlover field or garden, and makes short work with all the domestic arrangements of that unmitigated nuisance. With this white-backed sentinel around, you cau grow clover in peace, and the turnips will nourish. Your beans will not be prematurely snapped, and your garden sauce will be safe from other vermin. The most eareless observation of his habits shows that he lives almost exclusively upon in* sects. While you sleep ho is busy doing your work, helping to destroy your enemies. In tuy fair account kept with him the balance must be struck in his favor.— Thus among the animala we often find friends under the most unpromising appearances, and badly abused men are not unfrequently the benefactors of society." This all may be very true Ind we have no doubt it is, but nevertheless we cannot forgive the rascal for certain attentions which he once boa towed on some of our neighbors The eecentrio John Randolph once said, he "would Any time go half a mile to kick a sheep." So with us in reference to a skunk if we dare. IABDS. MISCBLIaA-NEOUS. BAVK THE COUNTRY. ■What is a country ? Not the soil, The ripening grain, the waving tree*) Not flaga of commerce on the aeaa; Nor wealth, nor arts that tjmecan spoil; Its strength Is not in things like these; Nor laws, nor Institutions; then, What make* a State, a country ? Men. An Hour with S«oeah Prisoners. By means of a pass, we had an opportunity yesterday evening of miogling among and oonveraiog with the seeesh prisoners now in Csmp Curtin. The information we derived from this privilege, is not the most important, nor would any desoriptioa we could write of the prisoners be the most profitable which our readers would desire to peruse. There is not a dtefl among thee* prisoner*, who, while he shows a resentment to the people of the free states, fully Understands any other foot but the stern truth of his imprisonment. The majority of the prisoners are young men—mere boys, when we estimate their ability to appreciate any cause, good or bad. They took np arms, because it was popttlsr to do so when they enlisted. They went into battle becauso they imagined that victory wonld be achieved. This is the sentiment of many of the secesh now in Camp Curtin. Others of theia boldly avowed a bitter hatred for the Government—feign to be disgusted with its authority, and even, in their imprisonment, delight in declaring their contempt for its power. Such as these confess that the south was deceived into the war by the dough faces of the north. They exclaimed with bitterness that northern opposition to slavery first prompted the south to treason, aiid the promise of northern aid and support was their first inducement to revolt ' Had northern dougCTaceism been as true to the south as it was heretofore servile and cringing to its political leaders, this rebellion Would have been ended: six months since in its oomplete triumph. With One of the shrewdest and most malignant of the prisoners, this was a serious thought, and seemed to delight in the. rem flection that for the perfidy of the north, the south wonld add to northern laboring men, millions of debt, bankruptcy in trade; loss of credit in merchandising, want of confidence in the commerce, and every act which the rashness and a rebellion ofi a people could produce. "I have no fear, sir, for the ultimate success of the rebellion," was the declaration of this man. "We conld procure peace, now, if we desired such a disgrace," he continued, "but we have other objects in view than our own independence. We intend to bankrupt the north and prostrate free labor. We intend to prolong this war until' the i Can orroaainn«1 elections comes off, when friends, the dough-faoes, are extives in Congress, and then look out for Jonathan. If Pennsylvania can be induced to send a majority of such men as Biddle and Ancona; if Ohio will elect a delegation of Yallandighams ; if Indiana decides to give us true men like Voorhes, and if the other northern states do their duty, ss our friends in those localities premised they are determined to do, when eleotion day comes off, the south need no longer battle, aa the fight will be taken off of its hands by the dongk faces. Jeff. Davis understands this, and therefore he is lead* ing (he y&nkces a w#d goose chase- AU that our leaders want is the tax gathers to go among the people of the north, before the election, and theoibere will some rodabiljty arise that old Jeff may be permitted to iake his Christmus dinner in Washington, as a solaoe for the disappointment in not having been able to dine in that city last 4th of Jnly." Such was at l«Bt the spirit of this conversation, if it is not the exact language. D. il TTUFFOBD HOUSE, PIT H HENRY HUK: "Jan. 1, 18Sfl. iTON, PA,-» - IRD, Proprietor, GEO. if. BRAINBKD ft, CO., GROCERS, 103 Murray, near Weat Street, GEO. W. BRAINERD,) NEW YORK. DAVID BELDEN J  Some tine sinoe a gentleman in good standing In the community, Who is a member of the up town Baptist Church purchased a fashionably located pew, for which he paid the munificent sum of 11,000.— In the course of a little tipie he met with reverses, and among other cffects at the mercy of hi* creditort wns his pew In the church. This fell to the lot of a practical working meehanic, who decided that he would worship God in this edifioe, and with bis family, would on the Sabbath, occupy the pew for that purpose. Accordingly, he and; his family attended regularly and respectably the services of the saoc» tuary, but his social status became known to tho "ladies and gentlemeo" who occupied pews adjacent to his, in the middle aisle, and they presumed to criticize every and the minutest act of the new-comers. The mode at shutting their eyes'during prayer, their unusual attention, and apparent devo tion daring thdir services their Uniform vulgar practice of remaining till the close of eervice, their, going to churoh in stormy weather without using a carriage, and other extremely ; ill-bred peculiarities, all were criticised. As the mechanio and his family retired from the church, the grown boys of tho congregation, together with some of the younger misses, would crowd in the vestibule and converse loudly about "tallow," "greasfe," "shoddy "coasts" "calftj'o," "leather gloves," and other kindred subjects, with which the strangers Were supposed to be familiar. It appears that the humble but frugal m6chanic bore this contumely with creditable Christian forbearance, not ylejdlng his rights in any degree, but continuing his attendance upon religious ordinances as usual. The stoicism of the iron pew holder was an outrage to the devotees of fashion; they appealed to the trustees, the trustees appealed toi the mechanib, the mechanic offered to sell out at cost price; the trustees hesitated, and the mechanic retained the pew, attending the charch as usual. Being somewhat democratic in his notions of society, and a firm believer in the doctrine of human equality, he introduced to his softly-coshiooed pew two colored brethren,, This last act was the feather which broke the camel's back. So grave an outrage demanded redress at the hands of the law as a "disturber of public worship"—an act af. .Mimmira afc GedD ™""Dl—J ~ " ' * Tho mechanic continues his devotions, is passionately fond of music, and elects to look toward the choir while praise is being ofTercd in that locality. Meanwhile the trustees have preferred a charge against htm before a policc justice, for "disturbing public worship," dn which Mr. Mechanio had to find bail, and the Grand Jury have found a bill against him. His case will be trjed soon, in the Court of General Sessions. The trustees allege that the reputation of the church demands that they prosecute tho case. They contemplate fort cing him to sell tho pew at a sacrifice, which he considers would not be an equitpblo financial transaction.—New York Trifyihe. . V w .1' w.

STl'RMER, A, certain Mr.iValentine Kettering, of Dauphin County, haa communicated to the Senate of Pennsylvania, a sure remedy for the bite of any kind of mad animal. He says that his ancestors had already u«ed it in Germany 250 years ago, and that he had always found it to answer the purpose, during a residence of fifty years in the United States. He only published it from motives of humanity. This remedy consists hi the weed called ohick-weed. It is a summer plant, known to the Germans and Swiss by the names of Gauchneil, Rother Meyer, or Rother Huehnerdarm. In England its called .JlfiiiaHiowecn«li.JUid its must be gathered in Jane, when in full bloom, and dried in the shade, and tben pulverized. The dose of this for a grown person, is a small table spoonful!, or in weight a drachm and a scruple at once, in beer or water. For children the dose is the samei yet it must be administered at three different times. In applying it to animala, it vast lie used green, eat to pieces, aad mixed with knn or. other feed.— For hogs the pulverised weed is made into little balls by mixing it with flour and water. It can also be pat on bread and batter, or in honey, molasses, &c. The Rev. Henry Muhlenberg says that in Germany 30 grains of this powder are given four times a diy, the first day, theft onedose a day for a whole week; while at the same time the wound iswashed Out with a decoction' of the weed, and then the powder strewed in it,.; Mr. Kettering says thatjn all instances administered out one dose, with tho most happy results.

She replied she did. Accordingly, before going to chureh the next Sunday, he filled his pockets with apples. One bald-headed old man, who invariably weat to sleep during the: strmon, particularly attracted his attention. Seeing him at last nodding and giving usual evidence of bping in the 'land of dreams he hsulqd off aqd took the astonished sleeper with an apple, square on the top of his bald pate.

BPRAGUE Slaveholders', Oatus.—About two thousapd claims have been pude under the bijl abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia. Some of the cUunajjiis are of very doubtful loyalty—-but they tt»k,e the oath of allegiance for the sake of $b« pay. One of those gentlemen, well kuown for his treasonable affinities, was asked, by a good-natured loyal friend how he managed to the oath. His reply was : "Ii consider myself in the hand* qf the Yankees, a prisoner, and whatever I do to save life or property is really forced out of me j l am pot responsible for it And when my Southern friends take possession here, if they eve* do, I shall consider myself absolved from any oaths I m/»y have taken to keep myself out of jail, J"' This was oool and bold, and particularly South' ern ,in its style of morality. At lewt onefourth of the money appropriated under the emancipation bill will go into the hands of rebels; but a* they readily take the oath, there is no help for it. ' ii.
