nuisance, and in pursuance thereof, did
direct the Marshal of the city, and his
adhercnts TO enter by force, the building
from whence the paper was issued, and
violently, (if necessarily totakc posses

and therefore 10 burn and destroy the
same. Aad WHEREAS, in pursuance of
said ordinance, the Marshall and his ad-

On the premises.

AMUSING STORY.

An amusing story, arising from a misap.
plication Of words, was told US few days
since, of a couple of young bucks who start.
ed off on beautiful night last week, to visit
a young lady, the daughter of staid and
stern old Presbyterian and who resided in the
vicinity of mill dam.
Having arrived at the mansion, and hav-
ing knocked at one of the doors for consid-
cradle length of time without summonine
any one to admit them, they concluded to
try another door. After sundry knocks and
thumps, the old "Blue" himself, arrayed in
all the dignity which an eldership in the
church could inspire him with, stood before
them, when he was thus accOsted by one Of
the youngsters:
dispose, sir, you couldn't hear us for this
dam roaring
WHAT exclaimed the Presbyterian, start
ing back in establishment, and fourishing his
walking stick over the head of the bewildered
youth in most warlike manner, 'How dare
you use such language in my presencel'
Il meant to say, sir, suffered the youth,
that you could not hear our knock for this
dam roaringn
Insult upon insult now shouted the infu-
rated elder at the same time making a pass
at the young blood, with his stick, that would
have done honor to any professor of the art
of fencing.
At this crisis the companion of the first
speaker advancing, and after clearing his
throat, and looking wistfully at the water as
it dashed over the work that had been erect
ed to impede its progress, said
MY friend, suppose, sir, intended to say
that you were prevented from hearing US by
this DAM roaring" emphasizing the two last
words in most terrible manner.
At this last explanation the old gentleman
fairly raved-and it would have Jared badly
for our heroes, had not the object of their Vi
sit, who had overheard the whole converse
tion-came to their assistance, and informed
her papa that twas impossible for the young
gentlemen to have been heard on account OF
the roaring of the dam.
Explanations passed on both sides-the
young gentlemen were Invited into the house,
where they passed the evening very pleasant
ly. and left, thanking their stars for the op-
perfume appearance Of the little lady, and
for the lucky escape they had made.-COt.

EAST INDIA COTTON.

The Post, last year, had a great deal to
say about the decrease of the importations
of East India cotton into Liverpool. #
forgot TO mention thea the cause of this
decrease. OF course this omission was
wholly accidental. The Post knew, of
course, that the secret of it all was that a
market so much nearer and better, in
China, attracted thither a large portion of
East India cotton, which would otherwise
have gone 10 England. The Post knew
all this, but was silent Whyl Does
