view to prsh the enterprise ahead Perhaps they
are doing all that is practicable in the premises,
but we hear nothing o! their movements. We are
apprehensive that the stockholders of that strpen-
dous humbug the Erie railroad, are throwing obsta-
Giles in the way Of the Albany company. If such Ia
the case, the fact ought 10 be known. The city
has immense stock in the road to Albany, and the
magnitude of it will be appreciated about the time

Buffalo to their own wharves.
VAPos BArHING.-The season for salt water alb
lutions having expired, and the city being still full

against the election, we advise them to call on Mrs.
Carroll, in Broadway, whose vapor and other baths
are held in high estimate by the faculty.
MoSs. EpoUARp.-This original and talented ar

beauti uI ladies. His sketch of sold Hays" is one
of the most life and characteristic full length pro-

PIGgoS M.rcH-The Pigeon Match came off
the Railroad depot, at the intersection of I'D
street and "a avenue, on Monday afternoon. Seve-
raj crack shots were present, and the shooting
capital. Forty pigeons were killed. A descendant
of Mel Cow, the famous fiddler of Edinburgh, per-
formed feat that requires quick eye, and steady
practised hand. Two pigeons were let of at the
same moment, both Of which were killed by the
sportsman, he firing right and left, the birds flying
in opposite directions The same person offered to
have Is pigeons let loose, and TO give another crack
shot 10, and the who missed the most birds, or
suffered the most TO escape, should be considered to
have lost the wager but the proposition was de-
clned
A SMALL MisrAxE.-A young man from New
Jersey came to this city last week. and went into
Methodist bookstore 10 purchase book. The keep
of the store showed him Bunyans Pilgrims Pro-

hesitated, but when the merchant told him that Bum
yam mere nom de gueSre, and that the book
was written by Bennett Of the Herald he bought it
at once. Taking the work ONE, he read it with
great intere.t-talked to his ghbors about it, and
said the editor Of the Herald must be very moral
man They told him he had been deceived by the
bookseller, that Pilgrims Progress was written by
Bunyan, an English tinker. Whereup0n the young
man carried the book to the store again, told the
merchant he would not give fig for it, and wanted
to get his money back.
