The Mails FOR BuFFALo.-lt Is intolerabie, the
existing arrangement for carrying the mail between
New York and Albany Here we are Saturday In
the afternoon with nothing later from New York,
by mail, than Monday morning papers Thursday
afternoon forty eight hours ago, we received by
Pomeroy * Co.'S express New York papers of Tues
dav The Albany papers of Thursday, which came
10 hand last evening, contain extracts from the New
York prints of Wednesday; ard even In the Boston
papers we ind later New York news than has
reached us by mail. Our news from Washington,
via Pltisburg, is later than by the New York mail
We conclude we began, by saying that this state
OF things is intoerable. IL renders communication
between the commercial emporium and the whole OF
the great region west OF Albany unsafe and uncertain
deranges all business operailon and unless the evil
is speedily remedied, all business men, WILL from the
necessity OF the case law or no law, manage ocon-
duct the correspondence through some channel by
which puncuality and despatch be insured

AN INTERESTING ScEYE.-lt having become known
that the proprietor of the Globe Mills in henslngton
about 10 resume operations, and had hxed up
yesterday as the day for commencing, the ex
tensive yard attached TO the mills was hlled early
yesterday morning, by mass OF people numbering
considerably hous nd, all anxious to obtain
employment Ii being found impossible to select
from among the anxious expectants, the foreman of
the establishment proceeded to the second story of
the building, and from window called out the
names OF four hundred of those formerly employed,
who on stepping forward, were Immediately set 10
work and the rest were dismissed. The mills are
In full operation and 1t is hoped will long con-
unue so.-PhH U. s. Gae.
PHnosoPHy OF HEAr.-"Well, my little fellow,
lsald certain principal TO juvenile philosopher
whose nanny had been teasing the learned knight
10 test the astonishing abilities OF her boy) what are
the properties of heatl' 1.-The chief property OF
heat is that it expands bodies while cold contracts
them" Very good, indeed; yoa give me a
familiar exampe1" ''Yes, sir; in summer, when il
is hot the day is long; while, in winter, when il is
cold, II becomes very short" The learned knight
stopped his examination, and was lost IN amaze
ment that so familiar an instance should have so
long escaped his own observaton.-Engiishp paper.
GEORGIA ELECrIoN.-Oficial returns from SO
counties give 10 Mr.. Crawford, the Wing candidate
"a 045, and TO Mr.. McDougald, the candidate of the
opposite party, lS,9S5-giving the Wing candidate
majority OF 5000 votes. The election appears to
have been pretty full one, there having been poll
ed in the 50 counties 5000 votes. In several OF
the Wing countless where that party had very large
majortles, there was but small turn out. A full
vote would la all probability have increased the
Wing majority.
TAKING IT CooLLY.-On Tuesday, 9th Dec last,
James F. Tay or, Esq, of Hull, TO Miss Betsy Edey,
OF the same place, were married. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Williams, at
O'Clock in the evening, upon the ice on the Chau-
dlere Lake
''Not drum heard or a conjugal note
As alone on the cold ice they hurried"
The reason assigned for selecting this cool re-
treat, that Ministers of the Methodist persuasion
are not authorized by the law to marry persons in
Lower Canada. The Rev. gentleman did not con-
celve Hymen's torch would afford his optics suffi-
cent light 10 read the marriage ceremony by, he
had therefore provided himself with a lanthorn.
After the knot was tied the happy pair drove offfor
