yec.ions will be given. The young gentlemen
Of this town had US in tow last week. desiring
US to inform them, to what fair one they might
venture to tot tie question. Oh but If we
knew, how pretty we would show them the
door toput their trembling frames in where
they might enjoy the smiles of beauty, and
tue forever.
Hereis the first time that making match
es between pining maidens and lovc-sick
swains, has ever been classed among the du-
ties of an Editor. We fear the Bachelors of
Clarkesburg have been reduced to desper-
ate dilemma when they reiinquished their
own eloquent efforts, and sought the aid of
our brother of the quill After all however,
we suspect that the act is entirely gratuitous
on the part Of the editor of the Intelligencer,
and that being applied to by some wag to ad-
vertise for wife, he has adroitly turned the
subject of the application into the editorial
paragraph for the common benefil of the fell
lowship OF the bachelors. Should any mar
riages be the result Of his benevolent efforts
we think he will be richly entitled to his
tthe of bridc-cake.

which usually descends in year, has drench-

information Of any damage sustained by the
crops from it nor Of its effect on the mill and
other streams. But gentlman from New
port mentions, that the injury it had occasion
ed to the streets in that place, had induced
the town meeting, at which $4,000 were vo-
ted to repair them. The embankment a

which will require large expenditure to re-

A new steam engine has been invented by
Mr.. Matthew CluF, of Norfolk, which is thus
described in the Beacon:--
A very correct idea of it may be formed by
supposing one end of plain tube. ot any d.
mensions required, to be inserted into boil
er, round which slow fire is made, and the
other end entering the bottom, reservoir OF
water heated by the steam continually pass
ing into it through the tube. In the reser-
voir a wheel with buckets, similar to that OF
an over shot mill, revolves on common axis
deriving its motion, (Which is rapid and OF
power susceptible of any augmentation de-
sired) from the steam which in its ascent
from the bottom of the reservoir where the
tube enters. continually fills the buckets and
gives the wheel the necessary impetus.
