an anecdote of Dan Marbles, which Curl

passion for gambling, was taken most alar-

Gently in Portland, NE. A lady Of hat

for a quantity of cream of tartar4o raise her
biscuit. BY mistake tartar emetic was got.
The biscuit were beautifully light, and the
guests ate heartily, n lady exelaiming

meal was hardly over when the emetic be-
gan to work, and gentlemen and ladies fell
to vomiting with might and main. One of
the gents, a very fat man. imagining he
was poisoned, sent fora doctor, but before
that fu~uctionary arrived the medicine had
taken another course, leaving the patient
in as bad a condition as a cleanly person
could well imagine. The cause of the
vomito was soon discovered, and the parties
signed d "tota1 abstinence from hot biscuit

Court Martial Extraordinary,

The Matamoras Flag publishes the iol-
lowing report Of the proceedings Oh a
Court Martial assembled to try Generals
Taylor and Scott. No official account
has vet appeared in the Union, and there
is no evidence that the sentence OF the
Geurt has been fully approved. Under
the circumstances, we shall expect the Of
fetal journalto deny the correctness OF the
report and even to question the authenti-
4ity of the whole proceedings. But no
one viii beeQisled by the contradiction,

report than they otherwise would. The
probability that such thing should have
taken place may, without great violence

like truth. ."-Chambersburgh Wing.
