CONGRESS.

Very little progress is made in The business Of thn

The principal matter before the Senate is The Bank
rupt Bill. 1t may pass that body, but there is no
hope of getting it through the House.

"POOR. .REiJBEN."

An old lady Kentucky, who during
the last war had .. son in tile army under
General Harrison, was, for some time af.
ter he left her, in constant afflic,ion and
alarm. at the thought of his being killed in
battle. She said that she supposed all
generalsand army officers were alike; that
they were running into fight whenever
they got the chance, and that poor Reuben
would be sure TO be killed." "Shc didn't
know General Harrison, but if he wns
any thing like old Governor Shelby, or
Colonel Johnson, the next thing she knew
would be that he had been at it hand to
hand with the British and Indians, and
that poor Reuben was killed." So the
old lady went on for good while, weep
ing and wailing, and lamenting abOu, "poor
Reuben" when. one day, neighbor who
had sympathised with her, asked-"Have
you heard from your son lately, Mrs.
-" "No," she said, "but feel easy
about him now. They tell me General
Harrison is a mighty prudent man, and
that needn't be afraid he will lead Reu-
ben" and General Harrison came home
aoithout q aoound, and the good old. lady
blesses the General to this day and thanks
her stars that "poor Reuben" wasn't under
that mad.cap Col. Johnson, who. had no
right TO expect any thing else but to be
cut in pieces, when he went into the.tI,ick
Of the Indians with that D-l Tecuniseh
at their head. How true is il that Harri.

There is wooden nutmeg story going
the rounds Of the feds that Gen. Harrison
has resigned the Office Of Clerk Of Hlmil.
ton county court. There is not n word of
truth in this tale. Gen. Harrison has not
resigned nor will he resign. He does not
do the duties. Of the office now, nor has he
at any time since he held it. He is totally
incompetent-and the business is mana G.
ed by one of his sons-in.law.-But Gen.
HARRISON is ostensibly now, as for several
years back, Clerk of Hamilton County
Court.-ZanesuiHe aurora.
