Noone from Salisbury had written me word-of course no one was responsible for any expense I might be at. should they be detained by storm or otherwise. l consulted with some of our citizens on the the subject, and many of them advised me to make no prenar- ations at all.

Tat once put the kegs into cold water to thaw them. At one o'clock the party arrived, and wanted their oysters at two o'clock. l explained to them the condition of the the oysters-that they were frozen SO hard it would take long time for them to thaw but they told me to hurry them along. I took the hoops off from the kegs, and the oysters came out in a. lump. They were put over hot fire. and in the process of cooking were burnt. The table was spread with profusicn of pies, cake of all kinds. and all other re- quisites, tea, coffee. &c. The oysters, although some burnt, were nearly all finished. The company had my entire House, with fires in six rooms, and every thing was done by me to make them comfortable and happy.
 The gentlemen whe paid me the bill expressed their satisfaction with all but the oysters, and allowed that they were as much to blame as myself, for not giving me longer notice. They remained here some time after dinner. and we all had very pleasant time. I expressed
 to many of them my regret at the oys-
 tels being burnt, but none of them com- plained at all in house."

Mir. Kendrick.

The Times has commenced the cam. paign, in its usual reckless way. by attack ing the motives and characters of the candidates opposed to its party. What particular object is to be gained by such a personal warfare, we cannot tell. Mr.. Ksndrick and Gov. Seymour are both candidates for the same offices. A large number of the freemen of the State are in favor of certain moral measure to be passed by the Legislature. These free mensand voters, before they decide be- tween the candidates offered, ask them a question. MT. Hendricks answer is favorable, from stern conviction of the necessity of the measure. Gov. Sey- mour refuses to answer from an equally settled and stern conviction of it's use. fulness. Where is the "demagouguism'' on either side? Both act from their own personal views. and it is question about which wise men may differ. By answer ing the question. one obtains the votes of those who favor the measure. By re. fusing to answer it. the other candidate those that are opposed to it. Shall we call 6otA of them ''demagogues ?"
 The Times says that because Thomas H, Seymour has conscientiously taken one side of this question, ''he is an honest man and acts from principle." But be- cause Green Kendrick conseientiously takes the opposite side. he is denounced as a "demsgogue. who will consent to write letters to catch votes." The same accusation might be retorted that Gov, Seymour is a "demagogue who refuses to answer questions in order that Ee may catch votes." CourGnt.

MYSTERY.-A good deal of excites ment exists in certain towns of Massa- chuseetts and Rhode Island in relation to the footprints of queer sort of an ani- nal. The tracks look as if imprinted by the foot of calf, yet it is apparent that the animal has but two legs, and it ap- pears also to have wings, as high fences, out>houses, &c', appear to afford no ob- stacle to it's straight forward progress. Its tracks are generally found near barns, hog pens, and hen houses. They have been seen in Newton, Stoughton, Med way, Bellingham, Franklin, North Bidgewater, Dighton, Berkeley, and other places. Tie following is an exact measurment of the tracks Length of taack, sl~2 inches width of do., 3 inches i; length of inside or frog. 2 l>2 inches; width of do., l,2 inches :; elevation of frog or inside above the outs side impression, 12 an inch. The ele- vation inside was entirely flat, unlike the frog of horse or colt. Width of the outside hoof or shoe, 3-4 of an inch.
 They were first seen on the morning of the 2sth of November last, in the easterly part of Foxboro', and on the morning of the 29th of February-snow having fallen during the previous night they were seen in the town of Mans
 field. If Mr. Barnum could but secuce this "critter,' and the sea serpent, his museum would be complete.
