MrsTAKING THE TEXr.-Some droll err
rors arise from misunderstanding reasons
\ few evenings since, good housewife in
Dorchester, was greatly surprised and wor-
ried, because the servant who carried the
milk TO one other neighhors, came back, and
said that Mrs. Chad told him she didn T
like to take milk of her, for she scrimped the
measure. Having always been very partc-
ular to put into the milk kettle considerable
more than the exact measure, she was at IA
loss to understand the cause of so cruel "a re-
mark, 50, at once, she made "A visit TO Mrs
c. in order to get an explanation. The re-
lief of her mind may be imagined, when
Mrs. c., who was utterly coniounded that
such an idea should have been suggested By
her, rephed-" Why told your man that
liked very much to take milk Of you ioi

HARMLESS EXPLosloN.-The Fourier Asso.

ganIzed about year ago, has exploded. No
lives were lost. No blame attached to tho
Captain or hands. The Association was called
the "Ontario Union" 1t was formed under the
most tlauerlng auspices. The brethren of the
Phaanx adopted this wild system OF social econ.
omy aud perfect equality, in the full belief that
its practical workings would meet their most
sangulne hopes, and prove to all manaind that
the present organization of Civilized Society 10
essentially wrong. The experiment has been
tried one year. II has failed utterly. The
Union is dissolved, aud The Brethren will fall
back into the old track, ashamed i, ufay be, but
surely wiser men than they we're before. The
lesson is a hard one--one which we trust few
will be compelled to learn.-Ab Am. Citizen.

AN IMPORTANT MovEMENT.--Letter writers at Wash

ganization of army of two hundred thousand men,
and the authorization o. war loan of $4,000 900,
to prepare the country for any contingency that
grow out Of the Oregon question Senator Casswe
has already offered resolutions nstructng the proper
committees to make inquiry into the state of Ort
fcatons our war material, our militia our navy, &c.
We commend these movements on the part of those
Senator's and trust that Congress will the mpor
lance of adopting them. Our government has taken
stand in defence of our rights which be maintain
ed Great Britain has taken another stand, and,
al, is making actual preparations for maintaining it by
force if necessary The duty of government then is
clearly to meet these preparations by proper organ
izaon of both the army and navy. In all settlements
Of dispute with Great Britain the surest mode of

Mr. Hall said he would be glad to crafty the gentle

not permit further delay, this queston-many Of hem
who had purchased lands this township had already made

from apprehension that their lands would be taken from

stands this question. He believed there was not shsd
ow Of claim the part Of the Vncennes University to

not recognized having any claim these lands but tina
they would go the support Of State institution.
Mr. Hail. in reply, proceeded to show the peculiar hard
ships which holders Of these lands would be compelled
