| A TRUE SToRy.-The following sto.
ny first made its appearance in the York
pa Recorder, and the facts which it
records, occurred in neighboring
county beyond the Susquehanna. The
way this beautiful and sprigh,ly heir
ess treated her fortune hunting lover,
should be caution to the whole order.
LOVE AND PRUpENcE.--A young
gentleman who was DESTROYS of enter
ing into the holy state of matrimony,
and who had turned his attention to the
'gilded' beauties of tho day--selscted
at length, for his particular addresses,
lady, who was reported rich, as well
in the matter of lucre, as in personal
and mental accomplishments. lie felt
the.charms of his fair one stealing over
his senses and casting 'witching spell
upon his faculties. But like discreet
young man, before he was too far gone
he wanted TO make assurance doubly
sure--and to leave no loop whereon
to hang doubt touching the worldly
possessions of his beloved. Fame il is
true had spoken her wealthy, but Fame
had cruel fashion of exaggcrating in
these matters. In word, if the truth
must be told, our lover was not so
madly' in love, but he was able TO
preserve some method about it. And
before the glorious passion reached its
crisis, he had the singular prudence TO
examine the recordS--and so obtain an
exact knowledge Of the wealth of his
charmer How happy was he to find
that her estate was clear and for once
even more valuable than rumor had
proclaimed it.
Flying then, on the wings Of love TO
the dwelling of his fair one-in good
set phrase, he declared his affection
for her-made tender of his heart and
hand-and besought her to smile on
his passion, and make him happy. But
the flattering tale of hope was not TO
be realized. The star of our lovers
fortune, had alas not yet cast its sill
yer light above the horizon. By some
means, it happened. the young lady
had been appraised of the extent of her
lovers curiosity-and in the midst Of
his descant upon flames, and darts, and
Cupids-she very composedly drew
from her reticule small piece Of mo.
ney, and approaching him made this
reply, " Although may not profit by
your very favorable sentiments towards
me, still cannot think Of your being
loser on my account. AS you have
been at the expense of search, |
must insist on being allowed to replace
the amount so expended" So saying,
she put an eighteen penny piece in her
lovers hand, and hc-went his way.

The Land Office closed on Wednesday
evening after making sales during the month
of July, from the 9th to the 9th, both IN

SIXTY THOUSAND and THIRTY-oNE DOLLARS

they amounted to SEVENTY THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED AND TwENTY-FoUR DoLLARs!-
The business done at the Kalamazoo Land
Office we believe to be unparalleled. Ma
ny interruptions have occurred during the
present season; SO many, indeed, that the
combined business days of the three months
May, June, July present an aggregate of
only 46; viz: May %, June 3, and July
20 days. Notwithstanding all this, the sums
paid in for land during that short time, have
