Near Reading, Pa., the other-day, while some gentlemen were shooting on the farm of Henry Miller, one of them killed a partridge which fell in an adjaceut field.

A suort time ago, Tennyson, the , poet, dot lined some thousands a year, which was ofiered to him upon condi tion that he wouli change bid name. ; Hia eon thought more of the money than of the cognomen ol hia sire, hence gathered in the gold and be-j be-j . came Bomebody elae than TeDuy- aon.

The Mojcow plot shows that the plan and its execution were not in the hands of ignorant conspirator?, and that it must bave bean conceived and carried out by men of more than ordinary intel ligence.
