(Vguost?,;' with the extract wbioh we ?Ivo
below; . The facta of tho oradle rooking,
?aro, BO fir as we are informed, quite cor-'
reotly given. We have heard the ?trange:
"tory "many time? and>oft," from tho
tip? of old citizens of Lynchburg:
? "Thia ia one of th? moat remarkable
?ind beet'authenticated phenomenon < f
tp kind on record. It ooourred in 1840,
Aa Lynchburg, at tho rosideuoe of the
Ute W. A. Bm i tb, D. D., for many yearn
President of Randolph Maoou ' College.
IQ that year he was pastor of Lynchburg
Churob. AG empty cradle in his house
was noticed rooking of its own accord.
It continued its motion for an hour. The
next day it commenced rookiog at tho
same time, kept it ap, nod stopped as on
the day before. Thus itoontinued daily
?for over a month. Matty intelligent
oitizeos nud ministers witnessed the
wonderful affair, and made repeated ef?
forts to solve the mystery without sno
cesB. It waa moved to different purts of
the room without. any change ia its be?
havior. It was removed to other apart?
ments in the dwelling with tho same re?
sult. It WM taken to pieuoB und each
j part scrutinized and refitted, yet there
wa? no obaoge in its motion.
"The Methodist clergy seleotod one of
their number to hold the oradlo and pre?
vent if possible its movement. The
Rev. Dr. Peun, one of the purest meu
of his time, waa chosen for this purpose.
While it wns rocking ho grasped it. It
wreuohed itself from bis gripl Ho
seized it more firmly. The timbers
cracked and the oradle would have boon
broken io tho struggle to release itself,
bod he not loosened bis hold.
"It was not further hindered iu its
daily exercise. ' Af tor thirty or more
days it stopped and never commenced
again.
"No explanation of this wonderful
affair was ever given or attempted."
The Missouri Democrat thus allude? to
the person who with his manuscripts be?
sieges editors: "It there ?re nuy errors
in it-which there are, to the extent ol
making re-writing au easier task than
correlation-he would like lo have us
make the necessary emendations; it bus
boen au long since bo wrote for the press
that ho is tempted to self-distrust and a
hint of possible imperfection, ?do be

over' (two hours of bard work) ?nd oor
reot it (fotir hours more), aud put it io
to morrow's paper ('.wo columns of
space). And then be condescends to
retire, leaving tho editor, as ho thinks,

A BiiBEZis IN CONNECTICUT.-The poli?
tical' newspapers of (Jon n?o tie ut have
fallen by the ears upon a question of
grave moment, to wit: Did Gov. Jewell,
(a candidato for re-eleotiou.) after dining
with a party?? including several colored
men, who appear to be rather the most
well behaved individuals involved, go
out of tho boase, dwelling or building
whereto he dined by the front door or
tho back? The combat thickens, much
bad language swells the din, aud still the
dreadful question remains uudeoided
tho front door or tbe buck? The fact is,
it appears, thut the Qovornor really di.I
go out by the back door-presumably to
dodge the consequences ot having dined
with his colored snpportors.

COLOMUIA, b. C., March 20, 1872.
Tu (hi Htmoruble Mayor and Council of
Columbia.
GENBLKURN: On behalf of the Char?
lotte, Columbia und Augusta Railroad, I
beg leave to luy before you tho following
fuuts aud petition, conoermug the receut
resolution of Council, requiring thin
company to opeu Upper Bnuudary street,
at its intersection with our embankment.
When this road was first built, the street
was left open, and was oros?ed by th?
railroad ou a high trestle Persons liv
mg in that neighborhood used to walk
over tho trestle, aud in tho connu ol
limo several uocidents occurred by indi
viduals falling throngh-one of which, J
am informed, was fatal to a young gtrll.
Public opinion and the newspapers cullet
on Council to require tho road to fill iq
the trestle, which Couuoil at last did, ai
will be soou by a letter attached fion
Mr. Wes. Giuze, who was ut the timei
member ot Council. To open a pussuge
say, twenty feet wide at bottom, througl
this embankment, (there thirty five fue
nigh,) and bridge the channa properly
will require an outlay of at least $2,00
on the part of the railroad, besides th
perpetual expense of maintenance o
tho wooden bridge-the cheapest tbs
could be erected, the placo being on
sharp curvo und a yery dang- rous out
and auy Huoiduut ever huppi-iiing thur
necessarily involving a fearful loss o
life.
In consideration of these eirena
ntauccs, tho street having been clubed li
the order of Couuoil and in obedient,
to tho willies of tho co m m ii in ty, partiel
larly of those who lived in tho ueighbo
hood, and now being requirud to t
oponed for the benefit of thu communit
entirely, and to increuso the vulue <
private property in thut vicinity, ? mo
respect!ully lay before the houorab
Council this my petition, that an ord
nance or resolution be passed, that tl
expo.isca incurred by tho Charlotte, C
lumbla and Aiigostu Railroad, in ope
mg und bridging Upper Boundary st re?
be refunded to thom by u remittance
their tuxes next due to the amount
82,000. I respectfully esk, also, tl
width of thu openiug be fixed at not e
ueodiug eighteen feet in the clear ut tl
bottom; and uJso that we be allow
until August 1, 1872, to complete it.
ask this delay, beuatiso it would cuds
ger our trains to undertuko tho work
