In the first place a child 12 or 15 years of age can perform all the labor, after having seen it operate a few times, and if the direc tions are adhered to. will do as much work in one day as three or four women in the ordinary way. and the work will be much better done.

C. & Cute All excellent utorv Yankee. is told coneertiino' tbr manner in which a Yankee sold the landlord in a village in Ohio, through which the Great National Road passed. It was well known bv the travellers on this road that it was impossi ble to get a full meal at the hotel in ai;e?tion because an understanding existed between the landlord and the driver, aud, almost as s on as the pasenjrers were seated at the table, the stage was ready to start. On one iccasion. among the passengers was a Yankee, who would be "goll darnM if he wouldn't hav the valle of his money, any hcaow." His fellow passengers were anxious to know how to manage it, and after a while they learned how. "Breakfast ready, gents," said the landlord, as the stage drove up to the door. "Take a wash, gents! Here's water, basins, towels and soap." After performing these ablutions, they all proceeded to the dining room and commenced an onslaught upon the edibles, though Hez took his time. Scarcely had they tasted their coffee.when they heard the unwelcome sound of the horn, and the driver exclaim, "stage ready!" Up rise eight grumbling passengers, pay their fifty cents, anil take their seats. "AM aboard, gents?" inquired the landlord. 'One missing,' said they. Proceeding to the dining room, the host finds Hez very cooly helping himself to an immense piece of stake, the size of a horse's lip. You'll be left sir. Stage is going to start.' Wal. I ha hit nr.it ci 1 1 i ii to say it,' drawls out II ez. 'Can't wait, "sir; better take your seat.' 'Dew what?' Get iu sir.' 'I'll be gol darned ef I dew, nuther, 'till I've got my breakfuss! I've paid for goin' to get the valle on 't; and ef it, and am yew calker- late I ain't yew are mistaken.' So the stage did start, and left llez, who continued his attack upon the edibles. Biscuits, coflec, &c, disappeared rapidly before the eyes j of his astonished landlord. 'Say, squire, them 'ere cakes is 'bout cont; fetch us another grist on em. You, (to the waiter,) 'nuther cup of that air coffee." Pass them eggs. Raise your own pork, squire? This 'niazin nice ham. Land 'bout here tolera bie cheap, squire? Hain't much maple timber, hav yew? Dewiii rite smart trade, squire, I kalkerlate. Don't lay yer own eggs, dew ye?' and thui Hez kept quizzing the landlord until he had made a hearty meal. 'Say, sqnire, now I'm 'lout to conclude paying my devowers tew this 'ere table, but ef yew'd just give us a bowel of bread and milk tew sorter top off with, I'd be obliged tew ye ' So out kqch 4he landlord Ijiml waiter for therfauwl of mil&uud bread, and set them before Hez. . 1 'Spoon, tew, if you please?' But no spoon could be found. The landlord was sure he had plenty of silver ones laying on the table when the stage stopped. 'Say, yew, dew you think any of the passen gers took them?' 'I don't know. Do you think they did?' 'Dew I think? No, I don't tliink, 4ut I am sartain. If they are all as green as yew bout here, I'm going to locate immediately and at wonst.' The landlord rushes out to the stable and starts a man after the stage, which had gone about three miles. The man overtakes the stage, aud says something to the driver in a low tone. He immediately turns back, and on arriving at the hotel, Hez came out to take his seat, and says: 'lleow are you gents? I'm rotton glad tew sec yew.' Landlord says to Hez: 'Can you point out the man who you think has the spoons? 'Pint him cont? Sartainly I kin. Say, squire, I paid yon four aud nine-pence for a breakfast, and I calkerlate I got the value on't. Yew'll find them spoons in the coffee-pot! Go ahead, all aboard, driver.' There was "once upon a tinie'fhithcr a "hard case" iu town which .shall be nameless, in the state of Georgia, who had been "under disci pline" in the Methodist church, but into whose fold he had again applied for admission. His appeal was argued in the following language by an ardent and forgiving brother: "Let us try him once more, brethcring," said he. "I know he has fell from grace once't or twice; I know he has black-slid-ah more times than he's got fingers and toes-ah ; I know he's been a leetle incontient-ah and they do say he has -But it's no use't dwell, on these p'ints iww-&. He has repented, and he wants to come back-ah and to be and to do good-ah? Let us try him brethcring, once more. Some times the wust men makes the best Christians. Let us remember the parable of the barreu fig-tree-ah; let us spare him one year more; let us dig about him, and dung him, and see if he don't come out greener than ever-ah!" This last argument settled the 'scape-grace's admis sion. "The ayes had it." The Scientific American having asserted that the lightning recently struck "soinewhar or thar abouts," and going into the ground left a hole which in every respect resembled a well, the Picayune replies that it is a lie-kly assertion, and advises people to go to thunder when tJ: y want a well dug particularly if they want it dug well. Fatal Accident. A dreadful accident oc curred on Wednesday evening last, on the the plank road, a short distance below Salem, hv - bir li one irentlenian lost his life, and a immljer of others were seriously injured As the Messrs. Clemmons' High Point Mail Coach was descending the grade oeynua me bridge, heavily laden with passengers, the tire of one of the wheels ran off. aud it gave way, upsetting the coach, and more or less injuring all the passengers twenty-six in number. A Mr Urqnhardt, of Southampton, Va., was so badly injured that he expired in a few hours. A sou of Mr Brown, of Favetteville, is not ex pected to recover . The other passengers, in eluding a number of ladies aud children, though all more or less hurt, are not considered in danger. Winstq Sentinel. Buan end Sacready. Rniin, the mana-rer of Drury Lane Theatre, having made a bad bargain with the great tragedian, wus anxious to cancel it. He there fore resolved to provoke the irritable star into a breach of the agreement. After reading it over and over again, to find some loophole to escape, le found there was nothing to prevent his playing a farce before i the tragedy, and that consequently he conltt annoy Macready by making him perforin in r.n after-piece. He therefore coolly advertised! him to perforin Hamlet after a petite comedy. Macready saw through the artifice, and much to the surprise and disappointment of Bunu. made no objection. Foiled in this attempt to irritate the theatrical autocrat into throwing up his engagement, he read over the contract once again. A brilliant thought struck him. He saw that he was not bound to perform af entire play of Shakspeare. lie therefore an nounced Richard the Third and the new panto mime. Macready went through the first four acts of that magnificent play, reserving himself, as usual, from the grand fifth act. He was silting in his dressing-room awaiting the call boy, and nursing his energies for the rlos'ng scenes when he heard the bell tinkle To his astonishment, the orchestra commenced the overture to the pantomime. Calling ono of the attendants, he inquired what it meant. He was told that the pantomime was about to begin. "But," gasped out Macready, "the fifth act of Richard the Third is not yet played." "Oh!" said the man, "Mr Buun says there is no time to play the fifth act to-night, and he says you may go home, sir he only advertised the first four acts of the tragedy." The rage of Macready boiled over but he swallowed it, and putting off the tyrant's habiliments, ho prepared to leave the theatre. Passing the door of the manager's room, ho saw him chuckling to himself oil tiie success of his dodge. This was more than the tragedian could stand; he rushed at Uunn, and prommelled him so that he was confined to his bed for a week. Bunn consequently brought an action and laid his damages at a very large amount. The attack was apparently so unprovoked that the actor made up ids mind to pay a swinging sum. The ingenuity of Sargcant Talfourd, however, saved him; for in his defence he said: "Gentle men of the jury, you are all proud of Shak speare; he is your favorite poet, and worthy of such an enlightened jury. lie is confessedly the greatest dramatist fhe world has ever seen. We all know how he affects us that we laugh at his wit, and weep at his pathos what must I not his marvellous senilis effect on a man like Mr Macready, who devotes all his time to the study of our great national poet? Poet, did I say? magician! He waves his necromantic wand over us. and we are, as it were, the slaves of his will! This will naturally lead you to ; excuse the accident that 1ms happened to Mr Bunn. who insulted the majesty of England's greatest poet, by cutting off the fifth act of one of his immortal pantomime! tragedies for a common, vulgar "Gentlemen, Mr Macready could no more help doing what he did, than can the thunder cloud which discharges its electric fluid at the object that lies in its path. The cases are parallel. Mr Macready had worked himself, up to perform that mighty part that triumph of genius the closing scenes of the mighty j tyrant of England the stnotherer of the babes the murderer of his king the destroyer of, his wife. Yes, gentlemen of the jurv, Mr Mac- i ready, had concentrated within his Losom tlie ' pent-up volcano of Richard's soul, and unfortu ' nately happening to meet Mr Bunn, he dis--j charged upon that unhappy gentleman's head the fifth act of Richard the Third, the results ; of which are more to be attributed to the im ! mortal Shakspcrc than to my client. Gcntle j men, I leave the case in your hands, convinced j that you will not punish my client, Mr Mac i ready, whom I am happy to call my friend, for. this overpowering instance of the genius of our immortal poet, Shakspeare." Tlie result is well known: Macready got off, with the moderate damages of a hundred pounds and costs. Foreign Monthly Mechanic. A Certain' Divorce.
