A Singular Will.

A tavern keeper in Andover, (Ft.) died a
few days since, leaving property 10 the amount
of about fsur thousand dollars. During his last
sickness, when aware that his end was near,
he made his will, distributing his property IN
the following order:-To four of his children,
he gave one dollar each; 10 his wife one half
The remainder of his wealth, and to his young
est son, who was foolish, the other half. The
four boys to come in possession of their dollar
each in one year after his death. The widow
and youngest son who were to possess the bulk
of his properly, were to lIaYe use of 1t during
their lives, and after their decease, the remain
der was to be put at interest for 100 years, then
TO be expended in building school house in
Brauleborough, in this Stale. The man is STA
ted to have been in his right mind.

POETRY:
Sabbath Days.
BY BERNARD BARTON.

Tvnes Of eternal rest-fair buds of bliss,
In heavenly flowers unfolding week by week;
The next worlds eladness imag'd forth in this
Days of whose worth the Christian heart can
speak.
Eternity in time--the steps by which
We climb to future ages---lamps that light
Man through his darker days, and thought enrich,
Yielding retention for the weeks dull flight.
Wakeners of prayer in Man--his resting bowers
As on he journeys in the narrow way,
Where, Eden like Jehovah's walking hours
Are waited for as in the cool of day.
Days fx'd by God for intercourse with dust,
To raise our thoughts, and purify our powers;
Periods appointed to renew our trus:--
A CLEAN of grory after six days showers!
lA.milky way mark'd out through skies else drear,
By radiant suns that warm as well as shine
A clue, which he who follows knows no fear,
Tho briars andthorns around his pathway twine
Foretastes Of Heaven on earth pledges ofjoy
Surprising Fancys flights, and Ficton's story
The preludes Of feast that cannot cloy,
And the bright out-courts of immortal glory

between seventy and eighty, named J. Lame,
of Anneville, was last week charged with hav-

The Olden Times.

The modern fashion adopted by our bellies of
wearing buslles is not so new as many persons
imagine. In the reign of James |. the fashion
of ladies' wearing verdingales, in order to make
themselves appear TO have enormously large
hips, appears 10 have reached lis height; and
about the same period the men adopted the plan
of stufiIng their trunk hose for the same pur-
pose. A writer of the day describes these
stuffed trunk hose as sort Of Z" verdlngale
breeches." This ridiculous custom occasional
ly led the wearers into awkward predicaments.
On one occasion it is related that young man,
so dressed and distended with bran, while in
conversation with some ladies', unfortunately
tore his hose with a nail and all the bran es-
capped, leaving him so much reduced in size as
to be recognisable. At one time law was
passed prohibiting the men against wearing
their breeches stuffed with bays; and man,
having been taken before justice on supposi-
ton Of infringing this law, established his inno-
cence by drawing forth the stufing, which con-
sisted of pair of sheets, two tabe-clOths, ten
napkins, four shirts, brush, comb, night
caps. and some other minor articles The Ia
dies, who were the first to set the fashion in
this way, were not whit behind the gentle
men in the size to which they distended them
selves; but whether the gentlemen OF the pres
ent day will have the galantry TO follow the
fashion of the ladies', and adopt hustle breeches
yet remains to be seen.-London paper.

Another uorris-Toyyu Ghost!

A report is III extensive circulation thai Mr.
Gibbons had offered pretty round sum, vary
ing from three 10 thirty thousand dollars, to any
person who would walk plank IL feet long,
one wide and elevated feet from the ground,
for forty eight hours without sitting Down or
leaning against any thing IN the lnterIum.-
Where or by whom such silly report origin
ated no one knows for Mr.. Gibbons Is geu-
tleman ever ready 10. encourage any project OF
utility 10 individuals or community, but, we
think, has no relish for promoting an under
taking of such totally useless and unneces-
sary nature Be this as ii may, the patience
of tho workmen on his large building in this
Town had become exhausted In answerlngques-
tions in relation TO the pedestrian feat, and al
though it was uniformly denied, some OF the
applicants believed the workmen had some SIN
lister views in making The denial, aud were ur-
gent in making the attempt. Ii was agreed
among some of them that these aspranls for
fame should be gratiisd, and on Wednesday
last plank was put up under the shed oi tie
large brick stables, and an athlellc young man
from Somerset county entered for the prize by
mounting it, and there exhioitng himself Iof
three hours TO gaping and laughing Thong
He was very communicative, and said he would
merely try the experiment for that length oi
time and see if 1t was practicable; and being
satisfied in his own mind Ill the affirmative, he
came down, was measured and weighed, and
his name registered as first on the list.
| Whilst this scene was In progress two other
competitors from Warren county made their ap-
pearancs, unbeknown 10 each other, and each
was quite disappointed atthe appearance of the
other but greatly chagrined 10 one already
on the plank Every thing, however, vas am
icably adjusted when the competilors were In
formed that they should all have affair chance
whenever the time lDaS appointed and notice giUen
in the netrspaperS They returned to their re-
speclive homes, and are now under training for
the prize
We hope an end will now be put to this rs.
port and if men wish TO keep on heir feet for
| weight hours let them attack heavy growth
of timber, or stick TO their bench or anvil and
produce something Of value or their labor. This
will be OF more real benefit 10 themselves and
community than to be perchei up on board as
a laughing stock for men "setiin' on rail" to
look at them.
P.S. We have just learned that within the
last two or three days somewhere about twen-
ty persons from Essex, PaSsaic, Somerset, Sus-
sex and Warren counties have made personal
and written application 10 be registered as COM
petllorsl This is truly the era of humbuggery.

Reduction OF Postage.

Petitions are in circulation in various parts
in the country asking Congress 10 alter the Act
regulating the rates of postage on newspapers.
The great changes which have taken place in
the business of publishing, since the passage of
the Law regulating the rates Of postage on
newspapers and pamphlets, seems TO render re-
newed Legislation necessary. Newspapers six
or eight times the size contemplated by the Act
of Congress, containing the matter of half a
dozen daily papers and the contents Of books
and magazines, are now carried by mail from
one extremity Of the State TO the other for the
sum charged for the smallest sheet, few miles.
This the petitioners represent as unfair, and
obnoxious 10 the country press, and ask for The
passage of Law permitting papers, TO be car
ried by mail in the counties in which they arc
published, free of posiage.-EaStOn Wing.

Economical Food for Horses.

Nine pounds Of bread, made of oatmeal and
bean -four will afford more nourishnent 10 hor-
ses than bushel of oats of good quality. A
French farmer in Hanault feeds his horses
during the winter a mixture of boiled potatoes
and chopped straw, giving each horse daily, at
two feeds, about fourteen pounds OF potatoes,
which food agrees with the horses, and is much
relshed by them.

in the Legislature of Ohio the following ac-
count:
Tuesday, Jan. a.
House bill No. 43, to change The name of Jo-
seph Crow, John Crow Caroline B. Crow, and
several others, including, the reporter suPposes,
the whole Crow family.
Mr.. Cooke moved to amend the bill by insert
ing the word Chapman before the word Crow,
SO that the bill would read Chapman Crow,
which amendment was not agreed to-
On motion, the bill was then reported back,
without amendment.
Mr. Jenkins moved that the bill be indefinite
ly postponed
Mr. Streator opposed the motion he said it
was hard task for him to be compelled to rise
and endeavor to prevent the breaking up ofthe
Crows nest Mr.. S. after some further remarks
read the following few lines Of poetry in sup
port of his argument:
The motion offered by my worthy friend,
Into an indefinite postponement this bill to send,
| shall for reasons now oppose,
Unless he some good reason shows,
Why his motion should prevail,
And give his reasons in detail.
ask the aid of every friend
That he will his assistance lend,
To keep this bill in Statu quo,
To change the murky name of Crow
Each member then, on his return
| To his constituents, will learn
A truth that they will not disdain,
The session. was not spent In vain.
| If speculators were neglected
| The Farming interest was protected,
For by our well-directed blows,
We killed, outright, flock of Crows.
| Great laughter.
Mr.. Jenkins said he was satisfied with the gen.
tlemans argument, and withdrew his motion.
