Dining on soap.-A shark recently caught on the
North of ST. Augustine, Florida, and being
opened four large bars of soap, from the wreck of
tile Sam Patch, were found in his NAV. This
was strange kind of dinner but
we suppose the shark was after all nothing more
than wrecker, and had taken this method Of secur-
ing the soap for the benefit of the underwriters.

FLoeeING SESAroR.-Mr. Morris, uni
ted States Senator from Ohio, lately received a
severe fogging from Mr.. George Abrams, a
very respectable man, living in Bethel, in that
State. Ii appears that little son Of Mr. A. had
obtained permission to gather some apples in the
orchard of son Of Mr.. Morriss, and being found
on the premises, by the Senator, received fog
ging from him. Mr.. Abrams being highly inccn-
sed met the Senator in the street, short time
afterwards and gave him severe fogging with
his fists, knocking him down, knocking cut his
teeth, &c, and left him, only at the earnest so
Icitation Of Mrs. Morris, who attempted to res
cue her husband. Mr.. Morris, upon recovering,
took TO his heels TO free himself from danger
Finding a scythe in his path. he returned, and
threw il at Mr.. Abrams without injuring him,
and again took TO his heels, to secure himself
from further castigation.

Important if true 1eras. The Match
es Courier, OF the l4th ult, after stating
that the troubles in Texas are quoted
that Santa Anna has no intention of inva
ding the province, and that emigration
may 90 on as usual, furnishes key TO
this state of things by the following re-
marks:
1--WE MENTIONED few weeks ago, that
a treaty was in Washington, between the
United States and Mexico, by which Tex
as was coded to the former. Our infor-
nation no,c is such as TO leave us but lit
tie doubt Of the fact The Rio del Norle
to be the dividing line"
Ifit be true that Texas has been ceded
oy treaty, it is to be yet seen whether the
Senate will take the money out of the
Treasury to pay for it, however hard
pushed the military tyrant Santa Anna
may be. II is undoubtedly bis interest to
sell it, for he knows we'll il will in any
vent declare itself free province in spite
of him, and might also capture his whole
empire to boot. thus cutting him off from
the hopes OF crown, and of making him
self another Iturbide. The question is
whether it is not better for things to take
this course, and refuse to purchase. Much
better for us to have another republic of
states in Mexico, under American laws,
than to extend our own empire, now too
large,--N Y Star.

they have sustained the cause Of the Peo-
