gus relates an amusing case, in which beg
gar in that city received what he asked for, but
not wh,, he wished fer:
A Few DAYS age, a full grown able bodied
man presented himself at the deor Of one OF our
eitizens, and solicited the lady Of the house 10
give him two cents. She remarked that she
had none, and epquiied what he wanted Of them.
To buy q dose Of castor oil. m arm, twas the
reply for am dreadful sick"
The lady had no cents bnt she had plenty oi
oil aud she prepared him stiff desc. lie
tired hard &c get excused from taking II but
she was firm, he was a sick man, and IL nns' 90
down. The iOafer found he was caught IN his
own trap and where he meant TO have glass
OF liquor, he got dose OF physie but making
virtue OF necessity, and with sundry ~ry Ia
ces, he gulped il down and cleared. Hen not
call at that house again, We dare say
RArBER MYsrERIoUs.-A few day since a
lady and gentleman arrived in this city from
the south. The gentleman seemed TO have
plenty OF money. bsastea OF his real estate. etc.
The lady appeared 10 be very quiet peaesable
BODY, said but little. and seldom made her ap-
pearance at the table Of the hotel where they
lodged After being in the city two or three
days. one Of the landlords daughter suddenly
became very much ensmsred Of the lady above
mentioned and they were almost AT any time TO
be found together in the room Of the latter
The landlord saw no harm in their being in
each Others company. and therefore did not
pay mnch attention TO the affair. One after
noon. few days since, the two ladies went out
TO take ride in a new carriage which the land
lord had lately purchased. Night came. and
they did not return. Servants. footmen, hostlers
and almost every body about the place, started
out in pursuit OF the two ladies'. but nothing
could be heard from them. Some surmised
that the horses had ran away with the carriage,
and probably killed those that were in il 9TH
ers were Of the opinion that they had got into
the river and been drowned
In the meantime the gentleman who had
come 10 the hotel with the lady. Who was sup
posed TO be his wife, made himself perfectly
easy, He neither took part in the search for
the los, ones. nor expressed any apprehension
on their account. Day before Yesterday aletter
arrived at the hotel for the stranger, and on
opening it, IL was found TO read thus -
thus: John bring my baggage over 10 Paris,
Tell Mr.. - that my wife. This daug ghter.)
is perfectly we'll, and hopes he'll come and spend
the summer with us" The landlord who had
been looking over the strangers shoulder ex-
claimed, " What does this mean sr!' Why,
said the man, il means exactly this: Two
years ago you refused your daughter to Mr..
because he was nothing more than
your barkeepsr. You likewise ischareed him.
Since that time he has been to the south and
made a fortune. Ee came here dressed in fe-
males clothes. He found the affections Of
your daughter still true to him" D-ltake
the fellow. he has outwtted me: but, sir, who
are youl" why, sir, am Mr.. footmsn."
