ANEcporE OF Henry CLAY.--A writer
in the last number Of Harpers Magazine
says Mr.. Clay related the following anec-
dote in a speech made at Syracuse, N. Y,
many yelfs ago:
While was abroad" said he, "labor-
ing to arrange the terms of the treaty of
Ghent, there appeared report of the me-
gotiatioDs or letters relative thereto; and
several quotations from my remarks or
letters, touching certain stipulatons in the
treaty, reached Kentucky, and were read
by my constituents.
"Among them was an odd old fellow
who went by the name of Old Sandusky,
and he was reading one of these letters
one evening, at a near resort, to small
collection Of neighbors. AS he read on
he came across the sentence, "This must
he deemed a sine qua nm
"'What's sine qua non? said half
dozen bystanders. "
cold Sandu>key was little bothered
at first, but his good sense and natural
was fully equal to mastery
of the Latin
"Sine-qua-non?' said Old Sandusky,
the question very slowly; 'why
Sine Qua Non is three Islandsin Passam-
aquaddy Bay, and Harry Clay is the last
man to give them up! No Sine Que Non.
no treaty, he says; and he'll stick to it!

"Oh Don't You Remember"

(.4n .9tecttng BdHdd.)
Oh don't you remember '49, Billy Gwynn,
40, when the floods came down,
And smashed in the top Of your calico
shop,
And did you exceedingly brown
Oh /! the calico shop has uamosed, Billy
Gwynn,
And the remains are no more to be seen,
For statlier building calls you its Lord
And proud may she be who is queen.
And don't you remember the butcher,
Billy Gwynn,
With the bones strewn SO gracefully
round,
When we all thought we'd get the worth
of our tin,
In beefsteaks at six bits to the pounI;
Oh those bones have gone to decay,
Billy Gwynn,
But a bigger piIenow takes their place,
And all the smells we thought horrible
then,
Were nothing TO those we now face.
Oh! you must remember those days, Billy
Gwynn,
When slap-jacks and pork were the 60,
When the loveliest dish to a miner ween
Was a dish ofsmaIl murphes you know
But those days of hard living are o'er,
Billy Gwynn,
And restaurants swarm all around,
And the old rusty pork we then thought
SO sweet
isn't mentioned at all I'll be bound.

American Hollow, near Spanish
Bar Bridge, Sept. 7lh, 1859. T


J Bar Bridge, Sept. 7lh, 1859. T
Knowing that you are about to publish
a paper at Auburn. it occurred to me
that few items from this place might he
acceptable. American Hollow, (Which is
situated on the North side Of the Middle
Fork, A. R.) presents a picturesque ap-
pearance, the varied and diversified beau
ties of which can tier he appreciated by
a visit, than by any attempt of mine at
descriptions; suffice it to say that the hill,
on the South side of the stream, (whose
craggy brow seems to threaten with inn
'nnent danger, the operatives on the riv-
er belo ov,) is one of majestic altitude, aud
presents great obstacle to the successful
travel between Greenwood Valley and
Yankee Jini'S. Fortunately, however, on
the North side of the river the summit of
the divide can he assembled without any
difficulty at point known as Smiths
Rancho, to which place good wagon
road could be constructed with little ex-
pense. . .
This locality had not been the scene Of
any extensive mining operations until the
lall OF "5l," when through the energy of
a small enterprising company, IA tunnel
was excavated, and rich lead discovered
on the lower part of what is supposed TO
he slide; others have followed their ex-
ample, Ia NOT with the same success as
the original dScoverers.
The next, and most extensive branch
OF mining on this part of the river is a
Hume $500 feet in length, Commencing
above and ending under and below the
brdge) in which the waters of the Middle
Fork flow rapidly along: the water in
thus passing through the fume, propels a
! paddle wheel, to which is attached the
necessary machinery for pumping any
Leakage or deep pond Of water out of the
bed OF the river into the fume.
The hume is owned by different COM
panes, viz: the Illiaaia Ali y r.,
InSton, Fields and the Independence
companies. Ofall these companies there
is but one, the Empire, which is taking
out the precious metal in large quantities.
On last Thursday a few men with one
cradle took out $4,000, and the average
per day since has not been less than
$4,000 Ill the other companies anti
cIpate getting into the bed of the river in
few days, aud expect to have equally as
good 'diggings as the Empire, as the in
dicatIons of the bed rock on each side of
the river is most favorable.
Last week on Spanish Bar " mile
below this point,) Il Mr.. Stone discover
ed to his utter astonishment that he was
minus 100000. The injured party,
from chain of circumstances, fixed sus-
pcon on man by the name of Baxter,
who was arrested and tried by the miners
on the Bar, which body found said Bax-
ter guilty of the crime of which he was
accused; but with view that the Injured
party might recover possesson of his
money, and the matter be compromised,
the jury did not make public their verdict
at that time, and Baxter on the night of
the day on which he was tried vamosed,
and has failed up to this time to show his
ugly face in this vicinity.

ANEcDoTE OF THE MAYOR OF
TIvERToN.-During the time when
Wesley and Whitfield were gaining
50 many converts in many parts of
the former came one day
to preach at Tiverton. This created
considerable excitement in the town,
and the Mayor, fearing some riot
might ensue, issued his proclamation
commanding Wesley to desist, as it
was dangerous to peace and good Or
der for him to preach in that place.
On being demonstrated with by one
of his friends, he made the following
laconic reply:
II don't see what reason there can
be for any new religion in Tiverton!
Why do we want another way OF
going to heaven when there's so
many already? Why, sir, there's the
Old Church and the New Church
that's one religion; there's Parson
at the Pitt meeting-that'S
two; Parson Wescott's, in Peter street
three; and old Parson Ter
rvs, in Newport street, is four. -Four
ways of going to heaven! If they
won't 60 to heaven by one or the
other ofthese ways, by - they shan''
go to heaven at all from Tiverton
while am Mayor of the town !"
