The News.

The town gaping all day yesterday, for the
message, or the Liverpool, neither Of which came.
The newsboys, however, not to be disappointed,
trumped up parcel Of last years messages, and
made pretty penny by the operation. In fact, these
little Ann street brokers and dealers in paper,
sharp in their line as their prototypes in Wall
street.
The news by the Liverpool, the organization Of
the House of Representatives at Washington, and
the nomination Of Presidential candidate at Har-
risburg, occupy every mind and every person. On
the latter affair, strong carrent of opinion is set
ting, that General Scott will be the man. We never
will believe the probability that they will nominate
him, till it be done. Why? Because we have never
yet believed that the Harrisburg convention have
sense enough in their thick heads to nominate
General Scott. However, we will wait and 1t
il true, Reason may work mracle-but she SO sell
dom does it in these days, that ncredulity will
be excused.

The LOTTERY TICKET. Mr. Taylor, the Gel

the following anecdote. A poor woman, who
had once seen better days, was finally compelled
by the intemperance Of her husband, 10 resort to
the wash tub to earn scanty subsistence for
herself and family AT length, however, heart
broken and destitute, she determined to purchase
n Lottery Ticket, with the hope chat, if she
should be successful. her husband might once
more enter into business and become a steady
man. To her unspeakabIe joy, the ticket came
up prize of 100000! Frantic, she ran to her
husband, and throwing her arms about his neck,
snd % my husband, now shall be happy!
now we shall live once Gved-I have
drawn a prize in the lottery
Don't be too sure OF that, woman said the
wretch, looking ipto her face with the utmost
composure, Don't be too sure of that for
found the ticket in your drawer, aud gave it to
Mr.--for glass of rum The transition
from sudden Joy to sudden grief was so great
that no sooner had he concluded, than the un.
happy woman fell at his feet, a lifeless corpse |!
