 Last winter, two paupers belonging to the l same place, were found frozen to death,
 having been the evening before very much ! intoxicated. Such examples of the effect
 of intemperanco we rejoice do not often become our duty to record.-JamGic0 (L. H.) Farmer.
 Statistics.--A patriotic friend called upon us yesterday in a state of no little a.
 larm at adiscovery of cclibacy which he
 fears augurs sadly for the safety of the . country, and accounts for the IOgocrGtic course of last Congress. The House of
 Reresentatives, 1t seems, consisted of 216 members, has eighty-scUen bachelors and t'oenty.tou' widewers, making majority of the whole. In the Senate the majority IS more fearful, no less than two-thirds of the forty-eieht being widowers or bache- lors. In the House of Representatives there are are 167 lawyer, 29 physicians, cleFgymen, 28 farmers, and but mer- chants.-N. Y. Times.
 Mechanical Ingenuity.--A distinguished mechanic of this place has made very el- egant and curious door-lock. <. It hasstwo bolts and two keys, which, to common observer, exactly resemble; each other. One of the keys commands but one bolt the other commands both /; to the bolt cnT pJ cd hx, tho :. ed an alarm bell, which makes very loud sound whenever the bolt is thrown back. There is but one key-hole to the lock; and the owner might safely give the lock, which cost several months labour, to a stranger, who could lock and unlock both
 bolts i'll ten hours time by the aid of both Keys. 1t is at thessame time very simple, and person may. in few minutes be in- structed in tho entire command over it. The inventor dedicated this piece of splendid mechanism to HENRY CLAY, the distin- guishcd friend and promoter of home in- dustry. The lock can be seen at the shop of MT. Simon Hickey, of this town..

 Steam Ship Kalerio, Swo, Dec. IS, 1926.
 Sir-My last was from Samos, dated Nov 22, about some days, after performing this, without falling in with any enemy, returned here, on the 9th, and I am now able to inform you of many things, of which was then ignorant, or which have occurred since. Athens holds out and will hold out !; the rainy season has com menced, and must every day make the situation of the enemy worse. The gar- rison well supplied with all necessaries, and we are under no apprehension for the place. Culuckis Pasllaw met with sev- were loss, the other day, in an affair with karraskikas. This commander, as I in- formed you, had changed his plan to that of openly attacking the enemy upon the plain of Athens, to that of cutting off his supplies from distancc--He had taken a post for this purpose, when body of 1900 Turks, sent out by Cutuckis. had advanced almost to Salona. He fol- lowed them up, attacked them in defile, killed 800, and forced the remainder to shut themselves up in Venetian chateau, almost without provisions sand he now holds them in blockade.
 Tbrahim Pasha remains, with his rem nant of an army, at Trippolizza, entirely inactive and probably very weak though learn with sorrow, that 20 transport ves- sels, laden with provisions and supplies, have arrived safely at Navarin. No troops however, have been brought him, and this confirms, what has been for a long time suspected, that the Pasha of Egypt is hardly in state to support the troops he now has in the Morea, much less to send fresh ones.
 The expedition of Colletti to. Euboea has failed: hoping to find the Turks off their guard, he landed and attacked them. But it appears he was perfectly prepared for and expected;-they fought, the Turks beat them back and drove them on board their ships. Thus ends the expedition of Colletti-from which had hoped son,e- thing, for he is decidedly man of talent, and his plan was good one; but it was miserably supplied with funds, and too cripple in means, to enable a general to eXcCute a deSiun with secrecv and das-
