Church Incident.

4 few years since there dweit in the
goodly city Of Brunswick, \. j., a GER
tain Betsev Baker, very devout. bu; at
the same time very nervous hysterical,
fidgetty old maid Now Betsy was
constant attendant. of the Rev. DR..
Horne's Church, and during the morning
prayer and in fact, at ali periods of the
sermon, she was in the habit Of breaking
out into ejaculations, such as GLORY TO
Godr Come Lord Jesus. Amen &c.
&c, and this too in the shrillest voice
imaginable, very much To the annoyance
of the audience, and the discontinue OF
the good Dominic, whose voice by the
bye, was very similar in It's ,one.
1t happened one Sabbath morning that
Betsey was more than usually devout and
ejaculatory. so noisy, in truth, that the
minister could stand it no longer, and he
ordered some one 10 take the woman out
of church
Two young bucks Immediately at
tempted TO carry out the Domine's wish
es; ole taking Betsy by the heels and the
other by the shoulders. She made
great lament. and struggled violently.
and as they bore her down the broad aisle
she screamed at the top of her voice, oh.
Lord God am served worse than my
Savior. He rode through The streets of
Jerusalem upon ONE ass, but ride upon
Twol
The church was not in very proper
mood for devotion. and We believe ser
vice was dispensed with for the fore
noon. AS for the young bucks. they did
not show themselves again az that
Church.

From Oregon.

Extract from letter written By an
Oregon Emigrant from Cass County, Hi
nois:
at is much more pleasant for farmer
in Oregon TO set in his house, and let his
cattle roam about over the hills and plains
and get fat in the winter season, without
the least attendance from him; and If 1t
does rain little, than it is for farmer
in Illinois, who has to work hard In sum-
mer to make food for his cattle during
the winter, and then has to feed it ont to
them in rains. SHOWS, hail, &c. In short
Oregon is great country for the farmer.
Everything that he raises brings good
price. | will give you few examples
of Oregon farmers, taken from the neigh
Jessee Looney has farm of about six
hundred and forty acres, which by the
way is the size of all Oregon farms, for
the law allows each man TO claim that
much, and all hands are certain to claim
all they can hold. He has about 300
one hundred dollars per head. His lady
has made this season, thousand pounds
of butter, for which she got one dollar
per lb. He has III his granary about four
thousand bushels of wheat; worth two
dollars per bushel. Mr.. Hamilton Camp
bell, gentleman formerly from Sping-
field, Illinos, has about three hundred
head of horses, and about two thousand
head of cattle;-but stop says your rea-
der. These men are not fair samples of
the farmers of Oregon. They are not the
Strawns of the country. No, they are
not: Mr.. Looney is about an average Or
egon farmer. All the hands he employ
ed on his farm during the last three years
are himself and two sons, twelve and
sixteen years old. No farmer thinks of
hiring hands to work on his farm; labor
costs too much. Besides, he could not
get hands to work on his farm If he want
ed to, as no man is fool enough to work
for another, on farm, when he can claim
a tract of land, and work for himself.
1t takes less labor TO make living off OF
farm in Oregon than in any country un-
der our government in my opinion.

the States: as the grass found upon slss

Washington Monument.

The dimensions of the monument at
Washington. now in the course of con-
struction at the national capital, are as
follows.
The foundation was laid 6 feet below
the surface Of the earth. When the ba-
sis had been thus prepared, the first
course of marble commenced, consisting
of large blocks, constituting the outside
surface of the monument, while blue
stone is continued up within. The di-
mensions al the bottom, from outside 10
outside. are 30 feet; from which they are
gradually to diminish to the top, ,5l7 feet
from the ground, where they will shrink
TO 30 feet. The monument will be hol-
low throughout; a square Of 25 feet each
way being left from top 20 bottom, and
continuing Of the same size all the wav
up. Its sides are ID feet thick at the
bottom, and gradually diminish in thick
ness TO A feet. Round this aperture,
within. there is to wind stair, having
a hollow and-rail of metal. containing
gas, which being let into burners from
space to space. will supply the building
with an ample amount of light. night
and day. There are no window OF open
ings of any sort, till near the top, where
probably there will be lantern. The
view from this point will be of uneq quail

Death brings divisions of property. and

So that. in fact, though there is sort of
monyed rank, it is not hereditary; it is

spirit that urged every true hearted
American to abandon his domestic cir

animates the bosoms Of the present gen
Grafton. At the first tap of the drum
thousands started up. ready and anxious
for any emergency, either to repel an ag-
Sression, or to chastise an insolent foe.
Many sacrifices, no doubt. would be
willingly made of personal comfort and
of pecuniary profit; but if in the hour
oil need, personal sacrifices weigh not a
feather with the American, as the past
and the present strongly exemplifies.
Among the many companies in this
city, whose services were accepted du-
ring the last war, there was one compOs-
ed entirely of gentle men and merchants
of Philadeiphia. under the command of
Captain Rose-a fine spirited gentleman,
whose memory is cherished by large
circle of former companions in arms
anu associates in business. 1t was a
troop of horse, called the Fist City
Troop-a corps established, during the
revolution, and which still preserves tke
flag borne upon the fields of Princeton
and Trenton. The writer of this sketch
was member of that troop many years.

pride when gazing upon that war-worn
trophy; and no doubt the same sensations
