rira roce examination Of students on en-

Martin was examining a class in hydros-
tatics, and asked a not very popular stu
dent:
"Mr. Spencer, what would be the con-
sequence if / thrust you into pond.

so ution to the question, it was put to his
neighber:

"Pon my word SIR" was the reply, 81

Another student being examined on

asked:

W-The federal party has been laboring for
the last twenty 3,e.ro o cocuro the veins of
government 1t has only succeeded once du-
ring all that tme-in the election of Harrison
and Tyler in 184O-and then through the vii

face often, in the hope that the people may
forget its loathsome countenance; but some
how or other, they always find it out, no mat

federalism, says a Northern democratic paper
the Pennsylvanian-is attempting to COM
bne with all the fag ends Of faction, in order
to carry out its designs-while it shows one
face to the North smiling upon the abolition
lists, and holds out another beaming upon the
slave holler-while it has hero for the SOL
