CLOSING OF THE PosT OFFIcE.-The hour
at which the Post Office in this place is closed
evenings, subjects many of our citizens, espec-
tally the laboring portion Of them, to great in
convenience Most of our business men, and
that class in our community who are not under
the necessity of laboring for their daily bread, /,
may be accommodated by the present arrange
ment but the operatives in our manufactures
and many of our mechanics and laborers, who
are obliged to go to their work before the Office
is open in the morning, and do not leave their
employment until o'clock in the evening
the hour at which the office is closed-are put
to serious Inconvenience TO obtain their let
icrs and papers which come through the Post
Office. There is not a night but that large
numbers of females and others employed in the
different factories in town, visit the office after
seven, and consequently are unable to obtain
their letters. If the office was kept open un-
til eight o'clock, the difficulty would in great
measure be obviatcd.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A terrible tragedy
was enacted in Garandvile. Miss, on the
night Of the llth inst, on DR.. Longgon and
family of that place. The bodies of Dr. Long
gon and one Of his children were found muir
dcred in bed. The body Of another child was
found dead on the floor; and the body of the
mother and wife lying dead at the gate in the
yard. 1t appears that the family employed a
female negro servant, much against her will
The house Of Dr. Longgon had been destroyed
by fire two weeks before the murder, and it is
supposed it was occasioned by this servant
In committing the terrible crimes above, 1t
was supposed that she was assisted by two of
her relatives, who lived in the vicinity of her
masters house.

MIR. CLAW and The Goat.

Almost every body in Washington city ro-
members an old he-goat which formerly lnhab-
tied Nayo's livery on Pennsylvania Avenue
This animal was on all probability the most IN
dependant citizen of the metropolis--hc be-
longcd TO no party, though he frequently
gave passengers &rilirg proofs oihs adhesion
TO the hrcliag principle; for whenever a per-
son STOPPED any whore in its yicnage, ,Billey was
sure TO make at him, horns and all. The boys
took delight in irritating this long bearded
gentleman, and frequently 50 annoyed him that
he would make war against lamp-posis and
trees to their great amusement.
One day the lumnary of the west, Henry Clay
was passing along the Avenue and seeing the
boys intent on worrying Billey into a fever,
stopped, and with his characteristic humanity
expostulated with them on their cruelty. The
boys listened in silent awe to the eloquent ap-
peal of the great siatosman, but il was all Cher
okee to Blley, who-thc ungratelul scamp
arose maicsticaIly on his hinder legs: and made
desperate plunge at his friend and advocate.
Mr.. Clay, although he had not slam a Mexican
proved himself too much for kis horned assal-
lent he seized hold of both horns of the de-
lena, and then twas the tug of war"-for
Greek had met Greek. the struggle was long
ana dOuDtlul.
HSl" exclaimed the statesman, 81 have
got you fast, you rascal, ] II teach you better
manners. But boys" continued he, turning
to the laughing urchins, what shall do now +.
"Why TIP up his feet Mr.Clay, said they.
Mr.. Clay did as he was told, and after many
severe efforts, brought Bliloy down on his sid e..
Here he looked at the boys implorlngly, seem
ing to say" never was in such a fix before. "
The combaiants were nearly exhausted" goaty
had the advantage, for he was gaining breath
all the while that the statesman was loosing
it.
"Boys, "exclaimed he putting and blowing,
"this is rather an awkward business What
am / to do now!"
"Why-don't you knowl" said itle fellow

"All you've got to do Is to let go and run like

the occurrence alluded to, and in consequence,
could have said nothing from observation -
But one ofthe Millcrs, remarked to me, (pre-
yiously TO my writing the article referred to,)
when the gentleman's horse passed his Mill,
he was neither running nor unmanageable, but
trotting fastly; Now presume that the ap-
parent discrepancy in the statements arose from
the fact that the horse when most disturbed
was out ofmy nformant's view, and that when
he did see him, the horse had subsidized. So
there is no untruth in the matter, but simply a
mlsapprehension of the entire fact
could not omit to write this explanation,
since do not wish to have resting upon me
the imputation of lightly challenging any one S
truthfulness and think it will not be deemed
at all adulatory for me to add that least of all
would | be willing 10 appear as publicly quest
ioning or inslnuating in the least against the
yeraciy Of gentleman so justly esteemed by
the community generally, for strict honesty of

ToyERTY OF LOUIS PHiILIppE--General de
Chabannes, Aid de Camp 10 Louis Philippe,
has addressed letter To the Journal des De.
bats, denying that his Ex-Majesty had pur-
chased an estate in England. - So far from
being able to make such an acquisition, Louis
Philippe says the General, "lives in the
greatest distress al Claremont, under the hos
pitabe roof of King Leopold"
The London Post of The Ist inst, in an arti-
Gle relating TO the ex-Royal Family of France,
says A great many servants attached TO the
ex-royal household have followed their ilustri-
Gus master to England, and presented them
selves al Claremoni /; but the ex-klng, with
one or two exceptions has been necessarily
compelled to decline their services.
With reference To the finances of the fami-
", We are sorry To learn that they are al a We
~ low ebb. Up 10 the present time the ex-
king has received no lntlmation from the pro-
vsional government as 10 the future disposal
OF his own private property IN France, and as
this is all the family have Ia rely upon for their
support, OF course, great anxiety Is felt On the
subject. Mr. Iamariine, IN conversation with
friends Of the ex-king, has invariably express
ed, as we have reason to know, the best nten-
tions towards the fallen monarch but at pres
cnt all is uncertainty as 10 the result, and, as
stated above, the establishment at Clarcnont is
accordingly kept on the lowest possible scale.
Not the least to be ptied in connection with
the illustrous exles, are the male aud female
attendants who fled with the members of the
ex-royal family from the Tuileries. Many Of
these had bees in the service for years, during
which time they had, of course, amused con-
siderable property, in presents, and other
things, Of which not the value OF single stl-
yer was saved by any one of them.
