Thomas Cartledge and John Westcott have enjoyed rare good luck and have thus far carried off the prize as expert fishermen.

To supply this deficiency, or perhaps with a view to extend the operations of those who are working against the last named Association, a number of persons at the West have undertaken the project of starting a new Tract Society at Chicago. THE Paris correspondent of the Independance Belge says that the French Government have resolved to construct twenty iron-plated vessels, instead of ten, as was at first contemplated. Of the first order for ten vessels, six have been completed. Although the sheeting of these war vessels is not less than ten centimetres in thickness, they are on the whole very light. The Government, being apprehensive that the Imperial foundries could not supply the whole of these vessels, have given an order to the proprietors of the Creuset foundries for the manufacture of some. Fifty large steam transports, each capable of containing 3,000 men, will be finished in a short time. SANDERS' News Letter, of Dublin, says that the ship nearest in size to the Great Eastern, arrived in England from America about thirty years ago. It was called the Baron of Renfrew; she was 600 feet long, and was composed of large logs of timber clamped together in the very roughest manner. It was predicted that she never would steer, never would cross the Atlantic; but she did, and immediately upon her arrival was broken up. Indeed, she was nothing more than imported timber, having been pitched together to avoid the timber duty, which was then exceedingly heavy. She fulfilled her mission in every way, but the government was down upon the new dodge and prevented any repetition of the experiment. WE learn from the Manchester, N.H., American, that a man named ROBERT RANKIN arrived in that city last Monday afternoon, and in the course of the evening, while wandering around the city, came to Merrimack Square, and was seized with a desire to climb to the summit of the flag-staff, which, if we remember aright, is 206 feet in height. It was quite dark, but he started his perilous ascent; passed the first splice, and gained the dizzy altitude of 136 feet, when he lost his hold and fell. He struck first on the deck at the lower splice; glanced thence to one of the iron guys which stay the lower mast, and then fell to the ground- not dead, as would, as a matter of course, be supposed, but without a bone broken, or any serious injury. THE late ROBERT WICKLIFFE was a native of Virginia, and emigrated to Kentucky a poor, unlettered boy. He commenced his career as a day laborer at fifty cents a day, became an eminent lawyer, and was the largest capitalist in Kentucky at the time of his death, his property being estimated at four millions. The Paducah Herald remarks of Mr. WICKLIFFE that, as a laborer, he was noted for his faithfulness, his industry, and the amount of work which he could perform. At the whipsaw he was unequalled, and on many occasions he cut down the timber and split out five hundred rails a day. In the palmiest days of his popularity and wealth he never ceased to boast of his achievements as a laborer. He studied law while a laborer, at night, by the light of the fire, and when first admitted to the bar he gave but small promise of attaining the position which he afterwards won. OF all the novelties that were ever heard of as being exhibited at an Agricultural Fair, locomotives and a full train of cars are the most singular. But anything is possible to a Western people. The Fair grounds of the late United States Exhibition at Chicago, were situated only a few rods from the Lake shore, along which skirt the Illinois Central, Galena, and Michigan Railroads; and the Superintendents of the Illinois Central, Michigan Central, and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, bethought them of running extra tracks to the very grounds themselves, and making a display of locomotives. The Michigan people, not content with entering one of their crack machines, added a train consisting of a first class passenger, a drovers' sleeping, and a freight car. The latter, by a few simple but ingenious contrivances, may be changed so as to transport either cattle, grain, or any other kind of freight. It may be opened so as to have perfect ventilation for cattle, or closed perfectly tight to carry grain, and the changes are made in a moment. A WASHINGTON correspondent of the Boston Journal, in his letter of the 14th inst., referring to a large number of ladies and gentlemen who on that day, had called to pay their respects to the President, says: Mr. BUCHANAN received his guests with that frank and genial welcome that has always marked his receptions. I saw him on the day of his inauguration. He does not look a day older now. He is in perfect health. He has no marks of being jaded or care-worn.-- He does not sleep in the city. Precisely at half-past four he may be seen starting for his rural home in the country. He has a beautiful cottage near the Soldier's Retreat; and one of the cottages that surround the Retreat, and the one belonging to the Governor of that establishment, is the summer house of the President. It is four miles from the city, and a delightful drive. He dines at five o'clock. At six he welcomes, in a quiet way, any gentlemen or ladies who may choose to call on him; and this ride is becoming quite a fashionable one, and any afternoon the President may be seen on the piazza on his beautiful cottage, with his friends, enjoying the air and the scenery as well as the graceful society that surrounds him. THE Norwalk (Ohio) Reflector relates the particulars of the late terrible death of BETSY SAUNDERS, a young lady 15 years old, daughter of JOHN SAUNDERS, of Peru, Huron county, Wednesday last, while engaged in ironing clothes, her garments caught fire in some manner; it is supposed from the stove. Her stepmother, who first saw it, apprised her of the fact. She immediately seemed to have lost all presence of mind, and started for the door; upon being told not to go into the air, she changed her course and rushed wildly past her mother and out at an open door, running down a lane and out into the highway.

[[/Fourth clipping]] [[Fifth clipping]] good harvest this year in Europe, and consequently a much smaller demand for our wheat than last year, when the crops in England and the Continent generally where far below the average. Previous to 1879 the largest amount of wheat exported from this country in any one year was 75,000,000 of bushels, and the amount required by European countries in 1879 was wholly exceptional and unlikely to be asked for again. If then in 1880 the United States have 200,000,000 of bushels available for [[/Fifth clipping]] [[Sixth clipping]] custody.
