 The skeleton of a man was recently found in the woods in North Andover, Mass. lying under tree. It had apparently been there long time. The clothes covering the bones were blue broadcloth coat with bright but tons, drab cassimere pantaloons, black Don- bazette vest, fur hat, thick boots, not much worn. The hair was little grey, and the teeth appeared sound. But nothing was found whereby the individual could be lden- tified.

The feeling was reciprocated, he declared him. self, and was accepted. Not possessing wealth, whilst the young lady's parents were exceedingly opulent, he dared not to ask their consent, and was obliged to resort to stratagem. The family being in want of a coachman, he applied for the place, and ob- tnined it, where he was enabled daily to see his betrothed, which resulted in an elopement last week, going off in the family coach, the bridegroom acting as driver. They were pursued by the brother to Salem, but he arr- we'd too late-they had already been united.

 A Bright ldeG.-For more than year after the removal of the Post Office, to the Ex. change, from the house in Chesnut street, where it was so long kept, the latter building remained shut up. Among the coniectures formed as to the reason of allowing so valua- ble property to remain idle, was the following very sensible one, suggested by an honest stage driver: "Mr. Page, the post master, knew 1t was SO good stand for his own busi- ness, that he was afraid that Reside or some other mail contractor would set up an opposi- tion post office. and thought it better to pay customers to send their letters by another hne."-PhiladslphiG Gazette.
