A man who has been accustomed to do a
thing in one way will rarely consent to do it
in another. Now Paddy is nothing with
out wheelbarrow. We noticed one, the
other day, who wanted to move barrel of
whiskey about twenty feet, on the wharf A
child could have rolled it, but Pat couldn't.
He gets wheelbarrow, calls on two of his
friends to assist him, lifts the barrel upon
his vehicle, and very cravely trudges off
and dumps his cask at the proper place, with
the air of man at home and in business
that he perfectly understood.

PRoDUcTs OF THE WABAsH.-During a
voyage up the Wabash, from the mouth to
the Rapids, we counted in day light, one
hundred and seventy five arks or fit boats,
heavily laden with the agricultural products
of our country. The pilots of the good
steamboat 'Davy Crocket report eighty
more which were met In the night; making
in all, near two hundred and sixty boats
that would reach the Ohio river in the
course of twenty-four hours. These facts
speak volumes for tile fertility Of our soil,
and the industry and enterprise of our clt.
zens. When we recoect that but few
yea have elapsed since the whole Wabash
valley was bowling wilderness, and that
but small portion # the internal wealth
of Indiana, is yet developed, we can scarce
ly conceive what will be the extent and
value of her surplus products that must
find foreign market.
