WATCH RETpRss-January 25.-Fanny Hedges,

street; was committed to the work-house for sixty
days, by Justice Goddard.
Andrew Stewart, (white) was found drunk and the
street too narrow to hold him; and out Of sympathy,
Capt. Goddard committed him to the Loafers asylum
for the charmed number Of days generally allotted
to the swell head tribe. In the interval, the cor
porate bodeswill possibly enlarge the streets, and
keep the pavements from jumping up and disturbing
him In his nocterna ramblings and astronomical OBJ.
servations when his health viii permit him to be
Andrew him self again.
Archibald Brown (white) was carefully picked up
by the guardians Of the night for kicking up row
and otherwise rendering himself disugreeable. Arch
was suspected Of being drunk, but was too modest
to Acknowledgements 'corn;' he was kindly permitted
to pick soft plank In the watch-house, and there
to mediate upon the uncertainty of human affairs
until morning, when after promising not 10 wake
the babies again at unreasonable hours, he was al
lowed to depart

OYSTER FEVER.

AnOyster Fever, quite as rapid and vir'
ulent for time as the gold fever, broke gu
last week in . portion Of West Jersey
According to the Bridgeton Chronicle ru
NOR reached that vicinity from Philadelphia
that oysters had risen to $40 thousand
Certain persons were instantly seized witt
the fever dubbed, and bought up allth oys,
tiers along shore at eXtravagant prices, sure
Of doubling their money at last:
All hands started for the city, and it was
really amusing to see the fellows as they sat
upon their wagons jogging along through the
cold, bareheaded, with theirhats in one hand
and piece OF chalk in the other, calculating
the profits Of the trip. After they had pro-
ceeded few miles, and their heads had got
sufficiently cool, they put on their hats, upon
which figures to a large amount Of profits
might be seen in the moonlight, when by
way Of keeping their blood in circulation,
they commenced offering to bet on the va
rious amounts Of their profits, All offered to
bet they would double their money! none
doubted it, Of course no bets were made.
Thus on they all logged, calculating on
enormous profits, and doubts were being en-
tsrtained whether the teams that hauled UP
the oysters would be able to haul down the
change.
When they arrived all safe in the city Of
Camden, every fellow was almost simulta-
neously heard to enquire, "What's Oysters
What's Oysters to-day
"OystersW exclaimed an old man at the
ferry, who was buttoned to the chin in a
rough looking pilot coat, Wv by oysters amt
nothin, they've fell down to as near nothin
as may be. y
"He'sa SPECTATOR" says Ephraim; che
wants to buy. He's a darn'd Jew, "says
Reubin, she wants to shave us"
s'Hallo, Uncle Joe,'' says the man in the
ragged coat, who knows every body, sis that
your You're joking, amt you;'
"Egad, and wish il was a oke for you
see there lays lot | bought on speculation,
but the markets glutted-no sale-oysters
Z froze, and now the wind has come to the
southwark, they are getting in amazn' good
humor; see how they begin TO open their
mouths and laugh at me-they ant worth
nothin"
"This man don't LIE, "says the man with
ragged coat, 81 know him ike book =
It's all up-we're bamboozled all to tarna-
ton
And then such rubbing out Of figures az
was going on. Every fellow off hat and went
att. Well, what was to be done' Every mar
looked as if the business warnt respectable
and them who warnt ashamed to be seen II
the oyster business sold there own, whilst
others who consider no business respectable
that amt profitable, got some one to sell fol
them, pocketed the loss, and put for home.
Thus terminated the oyster tever-Bdh

widow, lIannny Juba who since any living persons,
earliest knowledge Of the pair, has always been
knowledged TO BIO 10 years older than her husband.
She Is In good health and toeraby active though In
looking at her, one Is strongly reminded Of Riley's
description Of an aged Aub. Nanny Jnba has not
within the memory OF any one now living, done amy
labor except on her own account in culiiyating
with considerable neatnest, Il small garden, though
even lid. has been suspended for good many years

Daddy Tom, I'LL within twelve years, has laborcd

sole occupation has been fishing, In which he man.
Tested great skill supplying himself and his friends
generally with the fish of the season. For rather
more than year past however, his inGrmities have
prevented lnis amusement or occupation, whichever
u may be called and he has been obliged to content
himself with the usual weekly allowance OH the
plantation. t-
This ilSis true was frequently varied for his COM
fort and not rarely in his latter days, was he graed
by the present Of fine fish from his wiies youngest
son, "a lad on the shady side Of seventy. He died
of no particular disease but went out as the fire does
when the fuel is consumed. No one knows of him
ever taking medicine. He sometimes, In days past,

used seemed always effect ure-for the time at
least
DADpy Tosr In his own land, knew something of
Mohamedsm, though II Is not supposed TINT he even
protested that faith. About Is years ago he became
christian and was bnbtized but even since then,
those who conversed with him on the subject of re-.
lgion have thought that he deemed Christ and Mo-
hamed the same. There was always difficulty in
communicating with him, owing, TO his imperfect
pronunciation Of the English language but there
was no difficulty in knowing thar he was faithful
and true, and honored his master and the family by
whom he was loved and kept in comfort to the hour
of his death.

his remains and he committed TO the ground in
the hope of happy resurrection Concord.a tLa.)
