ONH of the most interesting eras in the his
tory of corduroys, is the day that we give up
playing marbles and think of calico-an era
that is usually marked with a gold watch,
macassar oil, bear's grease, lather brushes
and imper,nence. About these days we
take on airs, and refuse to go 10 market, or
down, Then commences taste for standing
collars and French boots with many inquiries
as TO "what is good for whiskers" and light
compleXioned hair. During this interesting
PERIOD the food consists of Moore's poetry,
German flutes and guitars. For further par
ticulars, ask the first melancholy young nan
you see with Lallah Rookh in his hand

SPLENDID RAILROAD IRoN.--One of the
new rails of the Camden and Amboy Rail
road was exhibited in Wall street to-day and
attracted much attention. 1t was made by
Aid Cooper, at the Trenton Works, weighed
80 pounds 10 the yard, and was "a inches
high--certainly the finest rail we ever saw.
There was also shown coil of fine wire
made from the same iron which furnished
the rails, and which is dug near the works of
Aid. Cooper. For fexibility, smoo,hness and
tenacily, this wire is equal to any that has
ever come under our notice. Both rails and
wire are specimens of American manufac-
,ure, of which we may justly proud. N. Y.

o." The editor Of the Gazette alluding TO
our definition of "principes" says:
''The editor, we think, ought TO get the de-
fintion patented along with his ice cream
freezers. They would sell well together"
The idea is no doubt a bright one and sug-
gestive TO those who can comprehend il. No
one, however, acquainted with the editor of
The Gazette will ever suspect him of invent
ing amy thing of a higher grade than those
fabulous and miraculous stories, that have so
long graced the columns of his paper, and of
which he has had such an exclusive monopo.
ly that patent would be supcrhuous.
Our next invention will, most probably, be
an automaton fsee-lrade editor Janus, or dou-
Bile faced. Such one would answer admi-
rably for the office of the Gazette, and in the
absence of the editor, could give utteranee 10
sentiments for and against the tariff in the
same breath, without any qualms of con-
science, and as unblushingly as the original
himself.

10 We copy the following from the
Pittsburg Daily Mercury, for the purpose
of corroborating what we stated in relation
TO the free trade resolution, in the Plttsburg
Convention in July last
NWe perceive that our able contemporary,
the 'Sunbury Amcrcan," has had coniro-
versy with his neighbor, the Gazette" re-
ative 10 the Tariff question. We can vouch
for the accuracy of the statements contained
in the following extract from the "Sunbury
American" The resolution in favor of free
trade had only tco supporters in committed
including the proposer, MIR. Mercur,-it pass
cd the convention i'll the manner described
by our contemporary
"Thc resolution in favor of free trade, in the
Pittsburgh convention, was not reported by the
committee, but passed, amid tho noise and conlu-
sion of an adjournment"
1t would appear from the following, that
the Gazette strongly resembles a certain
print in this city, which is incapable of form
ing an independent opinion upon any subject,
and "whose tergiversations are as notorious
as It's pretensions are ridiculous" ...-.
"Thc pseudo principles of the Gazette, are but
wax moulded and fashioned by the plastic hand
of the "Pennsylvanian." Its tcreivcrsatlons are
as notorious as its pretensons are ridiculous"

From IA source of undoubted authority

family in each room, making an aggre-
gate of one hundred and seventeen souls
congregated within their precincts. Be-
sides the human beings forming this ex-
traordinary community, there is a dog
kennel in one of the garrets, and another
in one of the cellars. These habitations
are without means of ventilation, without
even ordinary light, and filthy in the ex-
IRENE. We have also been informed
that in several other localities in the city
there are instances of superfuous popnla-

of the tenants is lii the ratio to their ex-
cessive numbers.-Crescent.
