GbIe But sir, (continued Mr. P.) fear, ! grently fear, (for have, perhaps unfortunate ly, fallen into habit of distrust,) fear, sir, that the period, the end of Executive usurpa- tion, is not arrived. In better times it began, hpd now in times such as these, with such fearful evidences, such direful menaces, such alarming symptoms, such threatening propo- sitions before US, say, is it now we are to conclude it is suddenly ended! l see no change, no symptoms of change; they are non alter, Sed idem. And as to the prospect of change-thc suggestion of the Administra- ton for this divorce scheme is pregnant with the most frightful dangers of Executive pow CT: it lays the foundation of an impregnable fortress of Executive patronage, it gives us the promise of terrible hereafter. do not think (suid Mir. Prestou) the country is going to try it but if it docs, then God grant it may be prosperous.
 Three Brothers.-The Bridgeport Farmer states, that of the lines of 6 packets (brigs) between Charleston, $. c. and New York, three of them, the Diamond, Corde1i0, and Franklin, are commanded by three brothers, born at one birth, at Cumpo, in that vicinity, named Frederick, Francis, and FrGnklin Sher- scOOd They so much resemble each other, that it is difficult for those acquainted with them, to distinguish one from the other.
 This singular circumstance reminds us of the twin brothers, Moses and Aaron Wilcox, of Killingworth, who, when young were so exactly alike, that but few if any could tell them apart. They kept schools in this place, we have understood, and occasionally ex- changed, without being noticed; and even went so far as to deceive the eyes of their la dy loves, during the period of courtship, and escaped detection. They removed to Ohio, ho,, oshf n fnxunchio oDd ballad if TxuS They both died, we believe, on the same day, each leaving a wife and seven children.- They were enterprising men, but did not suc- ceed very we'll with their western specula- tion.- Middleto,on Sentinel.
 Ground and lotiy tumbling .-The Elizabeth town, Va. Sentinel gives the particulars of one of the most extraordinary accidents we ever heard of A young man named Arnett with one or two others, went out on Friday last in quest of hickory nuts, and ascended tree to the height of sirty.fve feei. Just as he was reaching to grasp the nuts around him, a small limb which he had taken hold of broke, and he was precipitated to the ground, but strange as it may seem, was not killed! He struck the ground with his feet, and his leg was broken in two places and slight wound was inflicted on the back of the head. The broken limb was set, and but lit- tie doubt is now entertained of his recovery.

 An Accommodating Beggar.-A mendicant, sadly out at the seams, few days since beg. ged aims of a gentleman, at the corner of Devonshire and State streets. The gentle man fumbled over his small change, and said If had Q fourpence would give it to you %, never mind, hand me quarter, and I'll hop man of shreds and patches.-Boston Post.
 Seeing the World.-The late Sir John Bar nard, 'whose virtues were known in tho gates,' had son who very little resembled his sire; who one day told his father that he was tired of England, and earnestly wished to see the world. Sir John listened to him with great attention, and then replied, sIn- deed, Jacky, should not have the least ob- jection to your travelling, but while you are seeing the world, am afraid the world will see you. Portland Times.
 An Aaok,eGrd Case.-The Western stage a few days since drew up to tavern in Bel ladies in it. The polite landlord walked out to inquire if the passengers would have any thing.
 l "A glass of water for the ladies;' while they were drinking, the pompous speaker took occasion to congratulate the landlord on the triumph of democracy in his county
 I very much regret it, said the landlord.
 In it is the only safety of the Republic, said the passenger.
 | 'So old Tom Benton said that the only safety for our pockets was in his humbug, replied the landlord. The ladies smiled, and the gentleman did not smile.

Benton !-- Wheeling Ivmes. 1 More IndiGns.-Five and thirty Indians ar- rived at St. Louis towards the close ot last month, on their way to Washington. The party consisted of deputations from the Paw.
