Imposition.

Of allthe impositions which people.are liable to have practiced upon them, we think the one so successfully practieed, during last week, upon the goodly citizens of Wetumpka, with the " Woman Tale,'' caps anything of the kind ever, before brought to our notice. To caution the people of other places from having to ..go through the same sweat" we will merely mention the career of this new imposition from its commencement in this place.-4 On last Friday evening might have been seen a youth, not of the most prepossess- ing cast of countenance, running the streets with his arms filled with what would seem to be show-bills of some sort or other, poking one in at every store, gro cery cake shop, office, dwelling. and, in several instances, even into the kitchens, with a representation from the lawful, mysterious and horrible disclosures" of the Female Land Pirate, with directions on the bill to ''Please preserve this CMeu. lar until called for" and. raising consider able curiosity, every one was on tip-toe to obtain copy of. his own, SO rich did they calculate the thing would be. E We'll, sure enough, next morning appeared the same uncouth looking genius, with both arms n Hf-
 filled with the wonderful "disclosures, 1" in the shape of 8 little th,mb. paper concern, containing about 26 or 2s pages, price

MILK IN MExico.-We have heard OF
milk being watered, but we think We new
err heard Of circumstance of aaultera-
t'on OF that nourishing liquid, similar TO
the one given below, by an army cores
po,ident Of the PENNSYLVANIA:
milk is brought into the castle in great
quantities; but whether it is the product of
cows, jinnies, goats, or, shall | say 1.-THE
softer sex-we are still undetermined
Sometimes it tastes as though i! might be
a mixture of the four; but perhaps little
anecdo'e will enlighten you. A soldier
was purchasing some milk from fine
buxom looking Mexican woman, and be-
ing rather late, the remainder did not quite
fill the measue, and he complained, but
the good natured soul unwilling that there
should be any hard feeling, filled the
measue from her own dairy, and which,
"irom all appearances, the soldier said,
"misht have filled it three or four times
ver.' This is not an exaggera,ion, but
an actual fact, and upon the soldier ex-
pressing indignation and disgust at her
proceeding, she filled his eyes with the
nourishing liquid from some uniailng
source. The same evening the officers
held caucus, and unanimously agreed
to purchase cows for their own use. So
that we have now quite fine dairy con-
nected With garrison, with occasional.
ly a taste of fresh butt err and cottage
chsese-so you see our suffering is not
intolsrable."
