TIE Gathering Of the HugucnotS:-A
new French, or Hugucnot church, recently

A WARNING To ENIGRAxTs AND OTHERS
STOPPING AT MILwAUKIF-The following
from the Chicago Daily News relative 10
the Pier in Milwaukee. we hope will be
needed by those stopping there in the night.
The News SAYS
''An extension has been added TO the ORR
ginal pier. which is several feet wider on
each side than the old pier to which it is
joined. and thus its passage a, all times re-
quiring care, is rendered dangerous and
unsafe. We believe that three men have
been drowned at Milwaukee this season by
walking off the pier into The lake a: the
point where the new one joins the old. We
arr informed that while the Cleveland,
was lying there on last Saturday, the 3lst
uls.. MAJ Tine head of family moving
TO this Siate) was drowned in passing from
the shore to the boat. Occurrences like
these are too serious 10 be passed by with
out notice, and unless the proprieiors OF
the pier. Messrs. Humphreys & Strong, or
HE citizens Of Milwaukee render it more
safe, the place will, as it should, suffer- in
consequence.

An American Mofacr.-At soiree in
Philadeiphia, just before the Revolution
broke out, a British officer said, ''it would
be foolish in The Americans 10 go TO war;
they could accomplish nothing. and could
get nobody 10 head them. Mrs Biddle
(tbe mother of our gallant commodore
warmely replied, ''Sir, We shall find no diff

GENTLrMAN NEVER SwEAR."-So said
Washington, who, we believe, never allow
ed profane swearing in his presence, or in
his hearing, while in the command Of the
army Of the Revolution.
OF course, Washington did not mean
that boys could not swear, and yet be very
fine young gentleman. What looks more
interesting than to see 10y jus, out Of his
diapers, putting away ''long nine," and
every now then rolling out good round
oathl To Geny these promising juveniles
the privilege OF swearing, would be 10 de-
prive them Of their strongest evidenc u
manhood, and forever blast their prospects
Of being gentleman. If Washington had
lived in our refined and enlightened day ho
would have better understood what consii
,utes gentleman. He would thin probably
said that there is no necessity Of gentleman
20 swear. but if toys don't swear no body
vii! ever know that they are gentleman.

RAIL R0AD.-The following anccdotc is
told Of killed Captain who commanded a
Company of Scots lIilanders in one of the wars
at oldco time: When he came within short
distance IT the enemy nc halted his Company
and said To his mon, My chaps, there stands
the red coats, and gix We dinna lick them they
will lick you. So skirt the pipes, draw Clay
more and at them"
Like the Captain we would jus, say To the
people of Ohio county in general, and to those
of the city of Wheeling in particular, that the
people of Parkersburg with might and main
are trying to get the rail road to their town,
and il we don't exert ourselves, they will get
1T. Then what becomes of Wheeling and the
surrounding country As every one knows
as well as we do the consequences, if the rail
road between Cumberland and the Ohio river
terminates at any other point than Wheeling.
II isnot necessary to say any thing on that sub
icct. All we have TO say now is there are the Par
kcrsbuTgh folks as busy as nailors and as indus
trious as bees, and il we don't use our best lcks
to defeat them they will defeat us. So INV
lads, one aud all of YOU had better attend the

ven,ion at Fairmont on the 9Th July next.
