unecdote which is too good to be lost. III

of these occurred al the time when it was
fashionable for young ladies' to be treated
to cake and wine by the young men, She

effect of making her loquacious, and all
she could talk about was getting married.

should be in favor of abstaining from every
thing that intoxicates, for if the young Ia.

plague them to death about getting mar

Frankfort, Ky, who states that he has
travelled through parts of several States

there he visited Col. Johnson and he pays
him a high tribute Of respect, which may

LADIES, FAIR.

All tho world nearly was at the Ladies' Fair
ON Tuesday night last. We never saw such
press in our liyes--we should say that there were
fully $50 persousin the rooms at one time. The
rooms were handsomely decorated and the tables
in the room devoted 10 displaying the articles
manufactured BY The society were handsomely
furnished wi;h every thing nice, and afforded the
young men fine opportunity for displaying their
l.berality to the young Lades-and not the least
interesting part was the fair beings who stood
ready to serve those who might fancy any thing
their table was supplied with. In another room
a fine supper had been provided with every thing
that could please the fancy or the taste. During
the eyening the company was entertained BY the
young ladies with music which raade the time
while away very agreeably. The ladies, to be
certain that none should complain Of want of at.
tention had Post Office established, and no
doubt many love sick swain expected letter
from his " ladie love" but after paying his guar.
ter met with a sad disappointment.

We copy the following interesting article from
the Newark Advertiser. 1t will be seen by the
statistics which it presents that in some of the
Southern and Western States and indeed we may
say, in every State in the Union there is work for
the schoomaser-he should be encouraged 10 ego
abroad" The ignorance Of the white population
in the slave holding States is indeed deplorable
There the few exercise powerful influence over,
and control the many.
alt would appear by the late census that there
are upwards Of half million OF the free while in
habitans OF ous country, 90 years of age, who
are unable to road and write! The annexed table
shows the number in the several Siatss, and the
proportion which the number bears to the whole
number of whites. New Jersey, it will be seen, is
according to this standard, the eighth State in point
of popular intelligence. BY the same rule, Con-
nectcut stands at the head Of the Union, and North
Carolina Qhe birth place Of Nullifoaton) where
every twelfth man is unable to read and write his
name, and Connecticut, Ube land OF Common
schools )where the proportion is the other way
more than five hundred to one, is striking
and instructive commentary upon The state of So
cial and moral improvement in the respective
States.
1t IS proper to remark in Justice TO common
country and lts peculiar and beneficial institutions,
that the apparent proportion of popular ignorance
is materially increased in some of the States by the
presence Of large numbers Of aliens. Thus New
York and Massachusetts, second TO none in the IA
cilites for education, have in their large towns
great numbers foreigners, yet assim Hated to
American institutions The same is true TO a
great extent of the new States But for those proud
members of the'old thirteen, Georgia, Virginia and
the two Carolinas, there is no such excuse.
