that Gen. Houston has arrived at that place,
and had been invited to dinner given by
the Dragons TO the Columbus Rihcmen

piled in an eloquent speech. He was also
invited by the citizens 10 attend public
dinner, but circumstances compelled him
to decline the invitation. 1t is said, he

the food, as for any thing we know TO the
contrary, and finding that the down Of The

surface, she made cape and bonnet of it,
and their beautiful appearance was much
admired. AS nothing but the smooth
furry surface was visible, no one was en-
abled to tell of what it was made. The
bonnet was sent to Bangor, and puzzled
the curious heads of the curious people,
until one of their number cut a hole
through the inside Of the crown, when the
mystery was unraveIIed. Did any animal

How we envy those New Workers.;
every thing seems to be prosperous with
them; how is it here-instead of our hotels
being crowded with business men, they
have been literally GRAINED with broken
spectators, on their way to the Union
Bank; instead Of our merchants execut-
ing orders, they have been taking the
amount Of stock; and instead Of our steam
boats being employed in importing goods,
they have been exporting live stock. So
we go. "Every dog has his day." and
we hope to have ours by and by.
Business in New York. Within few
days past considerable revival of bust.
ness has taken place in this city. The ho'
tells are again crowded with strangers, ouI
tow boats and other vehicles of Transports
ton are leaving the wharves heavily
freighted. The merchantle population
which in this country is more sensitive thar
any other, and which changes its humorous
as often as the weather, is again in goot
spirits.--Ere. Post.

right shoulder blade, and part of them
came out at the upper Fart of the right
breast. He appears to have been man.
Of about S5 years Of age, five feet eight or
ten inches high, well built, hair rather Of
sandy color. From the papers that
were found about him, his name is sup
posed to have been JOHN p. WHITE,
of Winston county, Mississippi, travelling
to North Carolina. Some Of the papers
found about him were--a conveyance from
Lundry r. White and Rebecca White, Of
Winston county, State Of Mississippi, Of
their interest in the estate of Thomas

am umbrella, and black fur hat. He

to light the villain or villains guilty
of this savage murder and robbery. The
nag found on the ground is now III the pos
session Of Capt John R. Mason of this
county.
