OLDEN TIME.-A portion of the dwelling house
of the late Mr. Wade, on the corner of Butler and
Congress Streets Cincinnati, las we learn from the
Commercial Of that city, built in 1884, is composed
of the tmbers. of the aaiboat in which the family
descended the Ohio river in 1887. The gunwales,
upon which the structure is built are yet sound, and
portions of the timbers are marked with bullet
holes, and yet contain the lead-the boat having
been attacked by Indians during the passage Of
the family to Losantiville-that oasis in the great
desert wilderness of the West.

SNow.-It commenced showing in Raleigh, n

DE- The Wilmington IN. c. Commercial, under
the head Of Look out for Squalls, notices cir
cuar, which il appears is in pretty extensive crcu-
lation, emanating from the Democratic Taylor
Party" Of Charleston, inviting distinguished men
TO join in resisting the anti-slavery power. The
Commercial speaks quite lightly of the document,
and promises its publication, accompanied with the
views Of a distinguished resident Of Wilmington,
TO whom one of them was addressed. That paper
rather significantly remarks that the National Tay-
Tor party does not know the Taylor Democratic
party" whence they came, or where they will be
found a fortnight hence.

A LEGISLATURE IN QUANDARY.-The Legis-
lature of North Carolina assembled at Raleigh on
Monday week, and both branches were employed
two days in efforts to elect Speaker, but could not
succeed in either branch, and therefore adjourned
over to Wednesday morning. In the Senate on
Monday two ballotngs were had, between An
drew Joyner, of Halifax, and Calvin Graves, Of
Caswell, each receiving "a votes, the candidates
themselves declining to vote. On Tuesday three
more ballotngs were had, resulting in peecisely
the same manner.
In the House of Commons, on Monday, Robert
B. Gillian, of Granville, and James C. Dobbin of
Cumberland, were the candidates for Speaker, and
two ballotings took place, Mr. Gillian receiving SO
votes and Mr.. Dobbin So. The two candidates on
the first ballot voted for other gentlemen-and on
the second ballot one voting as before for one not
candidate, and the other declining to vote alto
gether. On the following day four ballotngs took
place, resulting precisely as the last one on the pre-
ceding day.
The Speaker of the Senate, in the event Of the
death of the Governor, becomes the Executive of
the State and this fact probably causes each party
to struggle more determinedly for the success of
their candidate.
The Governor of North Carolina has, by pro-
and Vice President to assemble at Raleigh on the
9th December.
RELIGIOUS Baptists Our denomination, dur
ing this fall, has been more than usually blessed
