RUFUS CHoATE.-A correspondent oi
the Albany Dutchman gives the following
graphic pen and ink sketch of Rufus
Choate
Rufus Choate is Il picture to look at and
a crowder to spout. He is about seven feet
six, or six feet seven, in his socks, supple as
an eel and wiry as corkscrew. His face
is a compound of wrinkles, ''yaller janders"
and jurisprudence. He has small, keen,
piercing, black eyes, and head shaped like
mammoth goose egg, big end up his hair,
black and curly, much resembling bag of
wool in admirable disorder, or brush heap
in gale of wind. His body has no paltic-
ular shape and his wit and legal "dodges,"
have set many judge in snicker, and SO
COMPOUNDED jurors as to make il almost i'm
possible for them to speak plain English, or
tell the truth, for the rest Of their natural
liver. Rufus is great on twisting and coils
ing himself up, squirming round, and pranc-
ing, Jumping and kicking up the dust, when
sieam's up. His orAtory is first rate and his
arguments ingenious and forcible. He gen.
orally makes ten strike-judge and jur,
down at the end of every sentence. He Is
great on howery expressions, and high ia,
lootin huhdubs.' Strangers mostly think
he's crazy, and The rest scarcely understand
what it's all about. He invoices his iime
and olocution 1000 per cent over ordinary
charges, for having ones self put through a
course of law. His handwriting can't be
deoiphered without the aid of a pair of com
passes and quadrant Ills autograph some.

like piece Of crayon sketching done in the
dark, with three pronged fork

GKr OUT.-It will be remembered that
an amusing story vas published, short tme
ago of A" Slow Rail Road in Michigan.
Here is another reminiseenre from the sama
road. which we find in the Boston Carpet
Bag"
There is much excitement along the rail
road respecting the killing and manning Of
cattle, and one farmer, who had a valuable
COW injured by locomotive af'er complain
ing about the matter and getting grossly in
suited by the employees on the road, told
the engineer that the next time he cane
along he would give him thraslins, which
WAS laughed at. Tue next lime the "iror9
horse came snoriing along by the farmers
house, the old fellow sailed out with big
bull dog, and set him On the "bulleine."
The dog caught hold of the cow-eslchcr,
held on, and sioppsdh, ride The farmer
licked The engineer when, calling of his
dog, he let the train 60 on"

The SUPPER.


Since the commencement of the pres
ent year. large number OF dinner and
supper publications. have come off throug-
out the Union, the most noted of which,
were the Glasgow Dinner" and the
Baltimore Supper" Doth given to the
members Of our LEGISLATURE the dinner at
The Astor House to the New York Legis-
iaiure, and the dinner that Secretary Web
ster ate yesterday at Annapolis. 1t were
folly 10 deny that the donors of these BAN
quets had not an object in their minds
eye when they were given, else they
would scarcely have been so lavish OF
their champagne. terrapins and ducks la
goutier. But talking of eating, reminds
Us that the elegant supper served up bv
that prince of landlords, Robert Carmon,
ESQ.,, given on Saturday last by the late
Burgess and Town Council of this minia-
ture city, 10 the newly elected Burgess and
Town Council and number of invited
guests, eclipsed all other entertainments
that have lately taken place. both as re-
CARDS the humour and sparkling wit that
prevailed on the occasion, and the obiec.
Tor which the Jefe was given. The gen.
tlemen one and all were possessed, as il
0y magic, of an overwhelming amount OF
sarcasm, witticism and compliments, and
during their remarks were welcomed with
thunders of applause. "Ben Boll," con-
irary to expectation, refused to sing, plea.
ding surprise. The object of the supper
was commented on freely. and the conclu
sion was arrived at, tha: it was given for
the express purpose of concIiating the
people of our village, SO as to obtain their
sPproval Of all the measures OF improve
ment, 20 say nothing of the Summits,) J
that were originated and so faithfully COM
pleted during the past year, by the late
folons OF our quiet village. Il does ap-
pear to us that an example has been set
mat IS worthy of imitation by all future
Councils. and in The event of any dissatis-
faction hereafter, as TO their course, it is
only necessary to distribute com mplmenta-

was paid without authority of law or usage.
RESOLVED, Tha, Congress should pass
a law prohibiting the payment Of interest
in any case. by any officer Of the Govern

Resolved. That Congress should pass
a law prohibiting any member of the Cab

mand against the Government, i'll which
any other member of the same Cabinet
shall be interested, while they may be
thus associated together in the administra-

During visit to Washington in Decep-
ber last. we formed the acquaintance of
Mr.. M. and were much pleased with his
kindness and attention, and rejoice 10 learn
that he was highly thought of by all his
fellow members, and no, less esteemed for
his sound democratic views, than for his
purity of character, and private personal
worth. To such men we are bound TO
contribute our share of regard and admira-
tion.

Total,

Remaining in the institution January l ;,
1851, ,S4 boys and "a girls, who are ,anght
reading, writing, and arithmetic. During
the year the colored department earned
sl,495 20; and the expenditures were for
the same time S7,224 S5. The boys are
engaged in the manufacture OF furniture
for umbrellas, and the girls in domestic
duties. The case Of sickness that termi-
mated fatally in the hite department, was
that of boy IA years of age, who had
been in the House nearly two years. His
decease was typhoid fever. The efforts
of an excellent physician and faithful
nurse were unavailing, and he departed
his life on the 23d March.
The only case of death in the colored
department, was that of female, about
II years of age, admitted on the 18th
September 1850, and died 26th December.
She was attended by skiIful physician
and watched over by the kind and excel
lent matron and her assistant
The account of the Treasurer shows a
balance on hand January l, 1851, of $4,-
945 43, which speaks well for the fnan-
cial affairs of the institution.
The building is at present heated by
hot air furnaces and coal stoves, but the
committee hope soon TO be able to heat it
by steam. A chapel is connected with
the House. The pupils are allowed suffi-
cient exercise, good clothing, means of
bathing, and wholesome and nutritious
diet.
Suitable buildings are to be erected. that
will, when completed, be sufficiently large
TO accommodate three hundred and fifty
males aud one hundred and fifty females.
We will close our notice of this humane
institution by making the following ex-
tracts from the Report.
1.-The Board of Managers have great
satisfaction IN communicating to the Lee
gis AZURE and to the Contributors that the
Institution under their patronage contn-
ues in flourishing condition. Ii must

ijecls of their bounty are .sna,ched like
brands from the burning" trained in the
paths of industry. frueality. aud piety,

happiness.
