a .Ftlc Way Ia Postpone Payment. We were
told yesterday the best Joke we have heard Of
I lately A person who lives in the Eastern part
Of the city had become involved in debt, and
was dunncd to death by officers, when finally
several executions were out after him, and
having no money, he was, as may be supposed,
in rather an awkward predicamcnt. In the
course of few weeks he expected ample
means from New York to pay off all his la
bitios, but how to keep off his creditors until
! that time, was more than he could imagine,
for, as is generally the case, they would not be-
lieve his assertions of his future ability to pay
them. At last happy thought struck him
his wife, children and servants had their CUE
| he had the small pox A day sutliced to let
everybody know that "that house had the
small pox in it," and per consequence officers,
creditors and visters made themselves scarce,
In short time he received the expected remit
lance, became Immediately well of the small
poX, came forth and paid all hands. He is
now free man, and says all the inconvenience
he received from disease was the prescription
he was under the necessity of using-"iteen
days close confinement in a third-story garnet

Suspicious A few nights since a man called
at the dwelling of a gentleman residing in the
western section of the city, and inquired as to
tho name and occupation Of the gentleman,
and whether he was at home. Having asccr-
tanned from the servant these particulars, and
also that the gentleman was absent attending
to his business, he asked whether any other
, man was in the house, and being answered in
the affirmative, he Immediately decamped.-
! The possibility is, that his inquiries were made
with the view to ascertain whether the family
were without male protector, that if it were
he might rob the house. We advise house
keepers to be on their guard, and to always
keep little cold lead prepared for the recep-
ton of theving vsiters.
A Smash On Wednesday, a public con-
veyance, known US the "Black Maria" which
plies regularly at certain seasons of the year
between "Castle Sellers" and the Court House,
met with quite smash. The horse which was
attached to it, and driven by yellow boy, be-
came frightened when the boy sprang out, and
the horse started off, full tilt for the nearest
bringing up place, where he was caught, the
wagon being broken to pieces. Very iortu-
nately none Of its regular customers were out
airing in It, or there might have been a gene
raj distribution of the passengers, some of
whom no doubt would have been very difficult
to find or pick up again. "Black Maria's"
are always good at running.
