those now afflicted parents, in the same convey
ance which bore the corpse of his late distin-
guished fellow traveller Thus they come and
returned together-but under how different cir
cumstances

doah river, containing 170 acres, was sold few

Ferry, was the purchaser.

" There is iron enough in the blood of AZ
men to make so horse shoes, each weighing half
pound.

who had been picked up out of the ditch, be-

W The editress of the Lancaster Literary
Gazette says she would as soon nestle her nose
in rats nest of sw!ngle tow, as allow man
with whiskers to kiss her.

Because twice eleven are twenty-five and twice

Major ]. P. ]. O'BgIEN, an officer we'll known
for his gallant exploits at Duena Vista, died ON
the 50!h ultimo, at Indianola, i'll Texas, of cho-

AWFUL TO THINK oy.-The Warren (R. ~
Star announces that pill machine has been made

W Dr. Franklin, endeavoring to kill a tnr-
key by an electric shock, received the whole
battery himself, when he good humoredly OBJ
served, that instead of killing turkey, he had
nearly put an end to goose.
D- A culprit being asked what he had to say
why sentence Of death should not be pronounc-
ed upon him, replied that he had nothing to say,
as there had been quite too much said about it
already.
" Although counting is one Of the most
heavenly pastimes ever invented, getting mar
ried we think one of the most serious and STU
pid. To white kid yourself is bad enough, but
when you come to add to white kids "the blue
coat and white trousers Of plishted affections"
the position you begin to occupy forces spoony
sensation upon the male lunatic, that even girls
and orange blossoms cannot appreciate. In our
opinion, the most ridiculous day man passes
through is the day he gets married. even 1t It be
not attended with a tin pathological serenade i'll
the evening.
A New RENDER1NG-"Go it while you're
young, tor when you get old you can't" is now
rendered thus Make snndry evolutions with
thy peyambulators, while the sanguineous fluid
OF luvenlity rushes warmly through the arterial
structure OF thy physical organization, for when
the roral conseation OF many hibernal seasons
has shivered the capiacions integument Of the
the Uranium, the ultima thule ofthy farther adj
vancement will have been reached.
GC Every demagogue can excite passions; it
takes great man to allay them. Small crafts
rise and sink with the pillows, the ship-ot-the-
line divides the waves on her passage.
nT There has been quite an excitement at
Kenosha, (Southport) Wisconsin. A Mr.. Hutch
inson received some $4,000 bushels of wheat, in
small lots, Of farmers, and gave the usual ware
house receipts. A few days since, he sold the
wheat to Mr.. Bolt, of Sandnsky, pocketed the
money and fed. This fact being known, the
farmers began TO call for their wheat, but they
were told that it was all sold, and that they must
look to Mr.. Hutchinson, whereupon, hand-bills
were issued, and the farmers rallied to defend
and take their wheat. Mr.. Bolt obtained a brig
to take the wheat aMay, but the farmers came
in such numbers as to get possession OF the
warehouse, and the brig was obliged to leave.
The WHEAT CRoP.-The Rochester American
speaking of the crops in Western ~ York, says;
ssThe growing wheat in this vicinity presents
an uncommonly fine appearance. 1t is thicker
on the ground, of good color, and has suffered
far less than usual from the winter. The cool
weather which has continued since the LIST of
March, has had a favorable effect, as well as the
absence of hard trosts. 1t is not often that the
