Aheahhy city.-The Buffalo Ieur-
nal states that not one death had oc-
Cured in that city for eight days pre-
yious to the 3Oth ut. This in pop
ulation OF 18 ,o0ois something to 'brag
of
A SOBER TRUTH..-A wise editor some.
where down east says: "a man must
have good deal of BRASS to get along
easy In the world"
The Philadelphia Ledger speaks Of
an old lady who expressed wish that d
stream of Santa Cruz rum, as large as
her broom handle, might run down her
throat, from the rising to- the setting sun.
A GOOD REAsoN.--A statesman being
asked why he did not promote merit e.

me-"
Jackson City.--The Alexandria
Gazette says was 40 far under water as
not to be within founding, on the goth
ult. Not even IAN Ararat was left a.
bove the waste ofwaters, on which a
wandering dove might rest.
@ The Hon. PowHATAN ELLIS,
Charge d'Affaires OF the United States
to Mexico, arrived at Vera Cruz on
18th ult., and proceeded on the 18th
to the. capital.
An affair O Aanor, sovereign cure
for the d''opsy.-An intelligent trav-
elier informs US (says the Alabama
Republic any that, some time since, a
DR.. B. of Alexandria, ON Red river,
challenged Mr.. Nj. an attorney, on
some tri'sial account, who, at the time,
was 'laboring under an abdominal
dropsy. They met in the province of
Texas, and M was shot through the
stomach. The dropsical matter was
discharged, and the bowels, from the
inflammation excited by the wound adj.
herring to the peritoneum, permanent
cure was accomplished. The parties
became friends, and the Attorney re-
mains grateful to the Doctor for this
gra'uitons surgical operation. We
know of no law against shedding
water, tho there is one against blood.
If our medical colleges approve of this
mode, it is TO be hoped the Candidates
for NJ. d. will be carefully examined
as 10 their skill in this novel mode Of
operation.
Coon VERY GooD.-A correspon-
dent speaking of the present fashion
Of monstrous 6onnetts, Suggests that
1t a0as first adopted by an uglg old
lady, 'oAo aoisAedto hide her face, and
that the fashion ,0as caught at By all,
The old and ugly, and thus brought
into vogue-the pretty lasses fa5iing
into the snare, sosthout dreaming Of
the trick.
IhiS is no d0tJt The honest truth of
lie matter, and reminds as of the ia
BILE ofthe fo1 that lost has tail ia a
trdp.- Tie fable ,oiN be remembered.
