..4nscdote-One day last week the Crier OF
our Circuit Court, not finding sufficient interest
in the proceedings to keep himself awake. and
as general silence prevailed throughout the
room. thought it favorable opportunity to take
a nap. He composed himself as comfortably as
he could; he had been not long nodding' when
suddenly clap of thunder reused him from his
revere; starting upon his feet, he cried out ins.
tiy 4" Siience!n' This set the Court IN roar OF
laughter, for they instantly perceived what was
the matter. One of the Judges remarked to the
Crier, " Mr.. --, do you intend to silence
the .hunder?" In reply he said he though, some
one had knocked bench over; be that as it
may. whenever he hears clap of thunder here
after. the scene in the Court Room will be
brought to mind.-GeorgetoDn Cot Gag.

A correspondent of the Lycoming pa Ga
zette, Ia Jackson paper,) speaks of the "ser'ous
divisions in the party, as fact which ''can no
longer be concealed" The writer says:-'' The
aLgry correspondence between the President and
Vice Presdent-the disafrction ola portion of the
Virginia and South Carolina delegation in Con
sress-and the more recent and eIectrifylng dis
solution of the Cabinet, have unerringIy evinced
its alarming extent" And he suggests the only
feasible mode of producing reunion and restoring
harmony to the party, would be the holding Ma.
tiondl Ccnrention of delegates chosen without re-
gard to these new distinctions or subdivisions OF
the party"
This writer appears to think with the ex.offi-
cial that after this there may be some chance for
saving the Administration.
