Iu N'ushvillo, Tenn., there is a club of rejected lovers, tho members of which are said to be tbe happiest fol? lows in existence. A patcut fire escape killed four men in Montreal, tbe other day, and it was only an experiment. The property of tbe notorious Fobtor Blodgett, iu Augusta, has been seized at the suit oi thu State. Mayor Hu IT offers a gold medal worth $50 for the bust Georgia weekly news? paper. I A reporter,pi, the Louisville Courier Jovial has bSeu writing qp She peculiar institution of VoadooisTO, as it. exists among the colored population of that oity, and in the coarse of his investiga? tions, has ran across several peculiar characters. Prominent among these is "Old Dr. Joe," who earns a respectable living, by professing to break the nnelt into whioh his deluded followers are constantly fanoying themselves to have fallen. Not long since, Old Joe was called to see forty negroes on one plan? tation in Henry Oounty, where all were suffering from the same complaint, but no doctor could tell what was tho mat? ter. He examined them, and found that all of them had been conjured, and, by cutting his r^rds, he ascertained that a negro who had reoently been brought to the plantation had conjured the forty negroes and made them siok. The man? ner in whioh Old Joe sets about curing his patients is strikingly peculiar. The victim is ordered to start off in a certain direction to the woods, where he must prooure a certain boue and the roots of a certain herb. These articles must be laid away until night, when the oonjured individual must build a fire in an open place, and put on it a kettle of water. He thou must call in some of his colored friends, aud must be Bitre that nono of his enemies aro about to see what is going on. The frieuds are drawn up around the kettle. The boue and the weeds aro brought forth, and the latter distributed in equal particles among his friends. The victim holds the boue iu his own bauds until the water begins to | boil, when it ia dropped into tho kettle.] One by one, the company silently drop a handful of roots iuto tho boiling water. Just at this juncture, an old woman rushes into the orowd, bearing iu hor buud the bleeding head of a freshly-slain chicken, which she thrusts into the kettle. The old woman then starts oil iu a slow and measured tread around the fire, followed by tho rest of the company, who follow in procession by single file, until aoou a song ia started by one of tho company, aud then all join hands aud dance around the boil? ing cauldron, einging and jumping in a manner that would remind one of the witches in Macbeth. After these per? formances are over, the kettle must be Bet aaide, and the orowd disperse. Next morning, the afilioted one must bathe himself iu the oharmed liquid, and if his oase can be curable by uuy human agency, he will forthwith begin to houl. Can it bb Tno???Itev. Dr. Wm. E.

The medicine?powdered human skull?which Charles the Second's physician oommended to hid lips ou his death bed, is surpassed iu oddity by a New England remedy for consumption.

"So your mother is dead, is she?" in? quired a boot-black, tho other day, of a rather solemn-faced lad, who had come back with his ??kit" after an absence of a day or two.

TH5 WAS.--, Brother Lafferty, of the Lexington Ga? zette, is reminded by the wild rush for office in Virginia of a little circumstance that happened daring the war, which he Erooeeds to relate in the following nmotouB rein: . j An order was sent from Gettysburg to r?JP*k C0=3SSi5sary Ghent Woodstock or Mount Jaokson, in the Shenaudoah Valley, to collect rations for 4,000 or 5,000 prisoners. A bright idea streck the "A. O. a." He had been refusing to bay the bulls offered by the farmers, though below tho price of beef. He immediately sent runners to bring in the bulls?"good enough for Yankees to eat." In a few days, bis "sergeants" had bought 150 bulls, assorted sizes. He had nevor thought how suob a cob leotion of cattle could be driven to Winchester, the point of delivery. Now, one big bull, with a halter on, and a deep bass voice, walking in slow and j solemn dignity in front by the side of his keeper, never fails to bring np the drove of steers, oows and heifers in re? gular order?in fact, is a necessity to every "cattle man" in tho country. But 150 bulls and no plain stock behind them was entirely unprofessional?a dis? grace to tho cattle trade. Now the bulls bad been gathered and penned in twos and threes. Tnese soufnad a little dur? ing the night in the primary meetings, but got usud to each othor by daylight. Early in tho morning, they were all driven iuto the turn pike at once, and an effort mudo to start them. Instead of moviug, not a bull budged. Every one squared himself iu the road, with his horns lowered and his hoofs busily defining his position. Each covered himself with a cloud of dust, and no one knew where he stood until some member accidentally trampled on bis toes, which was followed by a lunge, the signal for a generul fight. The hundred and fifty announced with a loud snort tbey bad accepted the issue. 150 tails flashed iu tho air. 300 horns?longaud short?met iu fierce collision. The duat roae iu vast fogs, as from an army in motion, with cannon slid cavalry. The mountains on either hand bellowed back the deep and deafening roar of the combat. Fences were splintered. Trees torn up. Crops pens bed. The earth shook. Tho sou rose as they joined battle, and roacbed its zenith when too fight was fiercest. Night settled down upou a fow battered bulls staggering? the last of the living rations. Hoofs, tails, hair, horns and hide marked the distance of that day'a drive?juat a half mile. Aa the sun set, and the detailed men returned with only the stumps of their whips left, the commiasary opened his moutb iu this wise, saying: "There wore too many bulls for a safe trip, boys." Yandei; silt's Ruse ?Every agitation iu Wall street is traced to the machina? tions of a "ring." The bolls and bears will not admit that anything is the re? sult of nutural causes. The failure of Griunell & Co., which caused suob a flutter on tho "street," a few days since, ia said to have been the work of Com? modore Vauderbilt, and was planned in ordor u arrest a further decline in what are known aa the Vauderbilt stocks. The firm was largely long of New York I Central, Lake Shore, Western Union, Union Pacific, etc., and the trouble which tho concern got iuto during panic week had tho < fleet of greatly depress? ing these stocks. Iu this emergency, Vauderbilt put Grinnell & Go. into bankruptcy, aud had injunctions issued dstraining all who held the stooks of the firm as oollateral securities for loans from closing them out under the rules of tho Stock Exchange. It was thus demonstrated that none of the stocks would be placed upon tbe market, and tho decline iu them was arrested. The mystery which surrounds tho taking oil of Kelsoy, tho unfortunate wretch who was tarred and feathered in Huntington, Long Island, has in no way abated, and, if we may judge from statements of the reporters sent down to tho town by enterprising New York newspapers, there is good reason for thinking that tho matter will never be solved, and that tho guilty parties, who? ever tboy are, will escape all punish? ment. Tho difficulty seems to be to raise money to curry on the trial. In some unaccountable woy, it appears to luve been left to private generosity and public spirit to find means for support? ing tho prosecntiou; and, though the inhabitants of Huntington are arrant gossips, they uro not disposed to enter iuto any arrangement which takes money from their pockets.
