Henry Meux and Co, the emnen, brewers, which is

There is deep trough in the yard holding water for
the horses, TO which this horse goes alone with his
mouth full of corn, which he from his supply.
When he reaches the trough he lets the corn fall

ORIGIN OF THE MASSACHUSETTS SCI
NATE.

In lecturng before the Hamilton Literary Associ
alton of Brooklyn, the subject of ''the Jurispru-
dencc of the Puritans," p. w. Chandler Esq, OF
Boston, gave the following humorous account Of GER
tam difficulties in the General Court Of Massachu-
sctts which resulted in the establishment Of the Sen
ate OF that State as at present constituted
In accordance with the charter the Governor and
assistants elected annually by the freemen and
altogether constituted the General Court. In this
originated the pr sent representative system of New
England. The representatives and assistants met in
common, and the Governor presided but occasion
ally alterations arose between them, and finally,
while grayely discussing presented by poor
woman for the recovery of pig, the breach became
wide that all attemi Is to heal it in vain and
The controversy ended in separation of the assist
ants from the representatives, and the organization
into separate body-prccisely equivalent TO the
Senate, each house possessing check upon the 9TH
er, and in all respects constituted now The lee
turer here remarked that the cacklng Of goose
saved Rome and it might be said with equal hstor-
zeal TRUTH that pig the father of the Massachu-
sets Senate
The following, from the same lecture, may serve
hint to certain fashionables Of the present day:
In l649 the magistrates and citizens formed an as
ISOLATION for the purpose of arresng the practice OF
wearing long hair by the men--a custom which they
pronounced uncivil unholy and every way perucious
This the first associated effort in America for ef
tectng, by moral force and suason, reformation OF
bad habits. Besides this, the elders of the several
churches were earnestly exhortet to preach against
long hair.

MAIL ROBBERY.

One Of the leather pouches which is supposed TO
have been sent from New York with letters and pa
pers, was found this morning in an hoRshead IN the
rear of the rail road depot in Pratt street. which had
evidently been rihed Of its contents. The pouch had
been cut open with some sharp instrument, and con-
sained, when found, New York American of Mon
day afternoon, and the Albany Tocsin OF Liberty,
both directed to the Alexandria Gazette. Ii Is not
positively known that the pouch from New York,
but rs inferred was from the papers which
bound IN 1t. There is letter md newspaper pouch
made up at New York for Alex ndria, and tins
seems TO confirm the opinion that the Ii1ed pouch was
rom New York. In the ordinary course VI the mail
he New York American OF Monday afternoon would
reach here on Tuesday afternoon but it is probable
that The paper does not leave New York Ill, the morn

and would not therefore reach this city till about one
o'clock on Wednesday morning. II this pouch was
50 received II was then stolen whilst the mails were

from New York contains only the malt Tor Alexandra,
