metallic GRATING. "A correspondent,
of the Boston Atlas states that process
called grating, is practised. for deception,
in the copper region, Lake Superior (which
he thus describes:

of the copper hunter-the pon. TO which
all make a pilgrimage, and from which each
man takes away specimen Of copper ore
some for honest purposes, and some, TO
use the technical language of the country,
for grating" This is done os follows
A man takes piece of ore from Eagle Riv-
er or Copper Harbor-goes and fixes it in
some rock or soil, and sends some one, in
the secret, TO look for it, who, as soon as he
discovers it, cries ont Eureka" and then
the original genius takes it, and goes forth
into The civilized world, with the finders
statement duly sent forth, Of the when and
whereabouts, to form company. The
members Of which company imagine some
times, very honestly, themselves to be in
possession of vein ofore equally rich with
that at Eagle River OF Copper Harbor. To
such, ignorance is bliss. They will find
out their mistake in due season. GER

A great many we imagine, would prefer the

If the query had been as to the the relative

there might have been some reason in it;
for it is in Henry Clay's own state under
his own influences where this mob spirit

the FIRST Presbyterian Church, the location
of which is exactly opposite to that once oc-
cupied by GeneSai Jackson. whose pew is
now occupied by the family of Col. Benton,
whose residence is much more in Washing
ton than in Missouri. The President sits
on the left side of the pulpit, supposing you
to stand in it, and by his side every Sabbath
his amiable and good wife who unites an
easy air of gentility with entire painness Of
personal manners, about as handsomely as
any lady with whom am acquainted The
Secretary of State, Mr.. Buchanan, has also
taken pew in this Church, but alas! soli-
tary and alone doth he sit there. No
charming wife follows him into the family
pew. No sweet and lovely train Of child

veterate bachelor, but nevertheless one Of
the pleasantest Of the race,-none of your
isolated misanihropes, scorning the sacred
relations of society, or costing with that
which to others is a source of the purest
joy. A dignified man and one who is i'm
bued with the religious sense beyond most
politicians around him. Amos Kendall's
family too belong TO this congregation.
Gen. McCaila, the new head Of one Of the
principal bureaus, has also enrolled his
name among the pew holders; he is BROTH
