TO SOMEBODY.
SONNET 10 Somebody! No matter who
don't know whether she be brown or fair,
And heaven may choose the color Of her hair
Her eyes perhaps are haze, may be blue
only stpulaie she shall have two.
Her lips know are red. and made for kissing;
:, And no great matter il her tongue be missing.
Her charms are either numerous or few;
Her form perhaps is faulty il not true n
Her nose doubt not there are MANY such
lis either Roman, Grecian. or a Dutch, e
And when It's cold dare say il is blue.
but she's as beautiful as summer roses,
And how love her is a sin 10 Moses"

for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, IN Deem
her next, at Harrisburg, Pa. Virginia is getting
into motion in relation to the subject. IL seems TO
be generally agreed that there shall be sent a num-
Der of Delegates, corresponding with the number
of Senators and Representatives which each State
is entitled to send to Congress-. Two modes have
been proposed for the appointment of Delegates
one providing for q State Convention, another tor
the appointment of the Senatorial Delegates by the
Whig Central Committee of the State, leaving to
each Congressional District the appointment Of her
own Delegate. We are satisfied with either course,
and think that we may safely pledge the Wings OF
Berkeley to a hearty cooperation in any scheme
that may be generally agreed on.

FRE.-On Saturday morning last, the 29th ult.
about half past three O'Clock, a fire broke out in the
bakery of Mr.. Christian Shsifer, on King street
anil, in a short time, the building occupied by hirs
was destroyed. The FIRE was soon communicated
10 the adjoining house occupied by Mr.. George
White as an Auction and Commission Store, which
was, also, destroyed; together with a considerable
quantity of goods which could not be removed IN
time. The houses adjoining on the east and vest
were a good deal damaged; but, owing to the zeal
and activity Of the Fire Companies, notwithstant-
ing a short supply Of water in the neighberhood,
the flames were prevented from spreading. The
praise bestowed upon the Firemen, for their zeal
and well directed efforts, is universal, and their eA-
ertions on this, as on all other occasions, entitle
them to the thanks Of their fellow citizens. The
