mine, made yesterday, that three years ago
i had foreseen the approaching insolvency
of the Post Office Department, and had
then in vain struggled against an admins
tration majority in the Senate, to arrest
the downward tendency of things, the
member has inquired what remedy ever
did propose for the purpose of arresting
that tendency? / will now propose one
Of INV remedies for him to consider, and
which, perhaps, when he learns i, may be
thought by him all-suficient SO far as he is
concerned to know. would recommend
to The Postmaster General, in the plenitude
of his power in the matter Of making con-
tracts. TO enter into one with Mr.. Timothy
Upham, of New Hampshire, if that gen.
,leman could be prevailed upon, for lib
eral compensation, to engage IN It. The
service to be rendered by that contract
should be to oversee, and keep in proper
subsection, by salutary discipline, a class OF
most scurrilons libellers in certain quar-
ter, as we'll those who have not, as those
who have' the newspaper privilege : and
whenever, in the performance Of his duties
under such an arrangement, that gentle
man should find it necessary to indict per-
sonal castigation, he should have leave, in
,he slang Of the department. TO improve
his bid and receive an extra allowance
of at least five hundred dollars for every
such additional service rendered. That,
sir, would be one Of my remedies. Of its
efficacy ! leave the member TO judge.

hearts good to see the western country
Why, a man needn't trouble himself about
his dinner; if he finds that he is short Of
provisions, all he has got to do is TO load his
gun and fire it out at the window of his
house, and he is sure to give quietus to
something Of the eatable order. 1t is a
splendid sight 10 behold stag bounding
through the woods with antlers six feet a.
part at the tips-all you've got to do is to
level at him, and he's gone case. Tho
10 fact, there's some little trouble attending
these hunting excursions. for the woods
and brambles are so thick that thunder
bolt don't know where to strike, and man
may have his flesh pretty considerably torn.
Humphp exclaimed a listener, that's
no 60 how in the name Of common sense
could stag with antlers six feet apart at
the tips, run through such woods2'

Dancing. -Dancing is an amusement
which was much more in vogue during the
last century than the present. Our grand
mothers used to make a business of it, al
though be 1t said to their credit, that in
those days the voluptuous w0ltz was un-
knewn. In an old paper published in 1869
we perceive the notice Of marriage in
New London, Of Mr.. Daniel Shaw, Of
Marlborough, to Miss Grace Colt, Of MARI
borough. 1t was stated that the young La

qualification requisite 70 render married

Mansion House 10 n. London, at which
were present ninety-two Of the principal
ladies and gentlemen Of the place, who by
half past 70 o'clock, when the company
