The PRESIDENT. The following anec-
dote seems scarcely credible; but it is no
more strange than the fact of mans being
informed by the President that he shall not
be removed, and receiving his discharge
on the tollo,cing morning or receiving an
appointment on one day and his discharge
on the next.
very distinguished clergyman from the
north, who had been a warm supporter of
the Generals election, and had exerted
himself with much zeal to that effect, was
induced to visit Washington. Wishing to
call upon the President and render himself
acquainted, he procured letters of introduce

arrival at this place and the announcement
OF his appointment to preach, large crowds
locked to hear him-among others was the
General. He was very politely invited by
the President to call upon him. The invi-
tation was accepted and the time appoint
ell. However, previous to his going, he
enclosed to the General, his Introductory
letters, believing it would procure him a
more respectable admission into bis compa-
ny, by giving him better information of his
character. The time arrived, and his rev.
erence was introduced, accompanied by
( one of the professional brethren, who was
an intimate friend of the Generals. After
the usual ceremonies of introduction were
passed, the General entered very freely in
conversation, but scarcely fifteen minutes
had elapsed before he suddenly interrupted
the clergyman, with "what may be your
name sir''-" where are you from sir"-to
which he replied by giving him his name
and place of residence a second time.

The following queer paragraph is from a
periodical "moral engine" entitled the
"Yeoman's Gazette" emitted in Concord,
Massachusetts.
"The person, whom we noticed last week
as having left horse at Brooks's tavern. in
Lincoln, has made his appearance and
claimed his property. His name is Benia-
min F. Fisk of Brookline, IN. H.) He
dlsclalms all recollection of going to the
tavern, or leaving his horse there, but saws,
that a day or two ago he found himself in
this village, without any knowledge how he
