reached the threshold Of the door, he heard the
thirteen votes!'' pronounced--and with a frame
with passion, and with fury strongly
imprinted on his rubicund visage, he abruptly en-
tered the bar-room, to confront the man who OAR
ed thus to trihe with his feelings, and attempt to
overwhelm him with insult.
His eye. beaming with wrath, fell upon the
stranger, who regarded his whitening chances
with the most provoking indifference-and who
paused not moment in his recitation, but con-
,inued to repeat the maddening words, 'thir'een
votes! thirteen votes! thirteen votes"
The indignant Martyr mex, caught sight of
Mr.. Smiths countenance, convnlsed with laugh
ter-"What is the meaning cf this, sir" said he
in voice Of thunder. But the only reply he re-
ceived was from the mouth of the stranger, who,
with the most irritating pertinac,y, continued to
bawl, even louder than before, "thrteen votes!
thirteen votes! thirteen votesm
MARTIN then advanced towards the stranger,
his frame absolutely quivering with rage. "Who
are you, scoundrel?'' demanded he in the most
,mperous manner, "and how dare you insul: me
in this way?'
The stranger thought the rage of Martyr was
counterfeited, and a ruse Of Smiths to win the
wager; and the answer to his question, shouted
out in still louder voice than before. 'thr

Martyr, doubling up his fis,-and putting himself
in an attitude.
| "Thrteen votes, thirteen votes, thirteen votes,

| "If you repeat these words again, will knock
YOU down, you rascal" said the infuriated Mar
tyn will, howl Of desperation.
! The stranger felt somewhat indignant a, being
addressed in this rude and unceremonious man
ner but was determined to win the wager, and
raising his voice, bawled with the lungs Of a sci.
ator, "thirteen votes, ihrteeen votes, thirteen

'sTake that then for your insolence," shrekee
Martyr, suiting the action to the words, and Civ
ing the luckless travc ller box on the which
laid him PROSTATE on the floor.
But as the stranger fell, his yell of surprise, an
ger and agony, took the sound of "thlrteen votes

/ Highly exasperated at what he conceived to b
a base and unfair continuance to cheat him GU
of his wager, the stranger rose in high dudgeon
still excla inning in a voice which boatswain in

upon poor Martyr, pounding him without mercy
and believing out between every blow, "thrtee

ANOTHER FREsHEr IN THE DELAwARE-The
Doylestown Democrat of Wednesday last con-
tans the following particulars in relation TO the
rise in the Delaware, caused by the late rains
melting the SHOWS at its head waters. The rain
which fell during the latter part Of last week,
and the melting of the snow near tho head
waters Of the river Delaware, caused it on
Saturday and Sunday to rise to unusual height,
and was several feet higher than at the late
freshet The loss to individuals along the banks
Of the Delaware, has been very considerable,
and to lumber merchants in particular, as in one
or two instances, we have learnt that several
thousand dollars worth was taken down the stream
We learn, also, from an indv idual who wa. near
the stream a part o. the time, that the whole
surface of the water appeared to be covered
with floating logs, boards, shingles, &c. The
damage to the Pennsylvania canal, we suppose,
must be very great, but yet have had no par
ticulsrs.
| We have learnt that the Lehigh at Easton, and
which feeds the Delaware Division of the Penn
sylvania canal, had been again entirely swept
away. This dam was taken away by the late
treshet, but owing to the activity Of some of the
enterprisiDg citizens of Easton, it had been en-
tirely rebuilt Should information be correct,
that the dam is entirely gone, it will re.ard the
navigation on the canal for some length of time
yet.
! N. B. Since the above was in type, we learn
that the dam across the Lehigh is not gone, but
injured considerably. Democrat
AFFAIRS IN MoBILE.-A correspondent of tina,
city, under the date Of April 9th, says, sWithin
the last two weeks nearly two entire squares ha e
been consumed by fre-the first composed chiefly
of frame buildings, the second of warehouses BY
the latter confagration the loss was about $50,
600, principally in sugar, cotton and coffee. 1t
is supposed to be the work of incendiaries Sew
eral other attempts have been made to fire the
city. and general state Of alarm prevails among
the inhabitants.
At the election for Mayor, last week, three per-

ESTIMATE OF THE POPULAR VOTE IN the STATE

ana one-sidsd estimate OF the popular vote IN this
State, as Indicated BY the late elections We IN

nv upin The EnqnreTs estimate of the popular vote.
We may premise, however, thai the calculations OF
the kirginian are even less favorable 10 the Wing
cause than is warranted by fdcIs. Major Garlands
majority, for example, does not embrace the Wing
maturity OF that district. A very large proportion
OF The Wings OF Aibcmare did mol vote al all, and
they may with sIricl justice be added 10 the Majors
vote la fact, we hear from the best sources, that
the Van Buren, party, throughout the Redland Dis
rict--the bItkbcne OF the Commonwealth, is liie-
rally demolished. Here and there Is a torn and
