"A young man, who started
for California about a month since,
via New Orleans, was detained there
a few days, and went around TO see
the town. During his peregrina-
tions, he became acquainted with a
lot of "cIever fellows" and formed
one of party in "nice little game
of poker" This amusement proved
so very "nice," that three days after
its first indulgence our journeyer
towards the land Of gold, found that
out of twenty-five hundred dollars
part Of which had been entrusted
to him-he had scarce enough to
pay his bill at the Verandah. where
he had been stopping. Persons
travelling should avoid all "nice little
games" they don't prove at all
remuneralive.

A SNAKE SToRY-BuT TRUE.--One Of
our most respectable citizens, residing
within the corporate limits OF the city,
has related TO US that two years ago a
small green snake was discovered on
his grape arbor by some member of his
family. II was not disturbed. Little
Snaky seemed to understand and appre-
ciate this exemption from the curse pro-
nounced again I the serpent tribe, and
has ever since continued its habitation
in the arbor. During the time it has
grown to quite respectable length, and
become perfectly domesticated, and re-
cognizes at once any member of the
family; allows itself 10 be caressed; and
in gathering grapes has not unfrequenily
to be pushed out of the way. But let
stranger approach it. and at once il man.
ifests displeasure, and will allow no ia.
miliarity. This is every word true.

General sc.u'. Reception AZ Port.mouth

We learn from two gentlemen who
accompanied General Scott 10 Ports
mouth, that the good people of that city
and of Scioto county outdid themselves
in the ceremonies and circumstances of
the reception. A procession of car
riages and horsemen, more than a mile
long, met the old Hero and his compan.
ions some distance out of the city. The
most perfect order was observed-no
crowding no breaking the ranks. Gen.
Scott was understood to compliment the
people on the military propriety of their
conduct. In Portsmouth he was re-.
ceived by a municipal welcome, and re
sponded very happily. The General
and his fellow travellers were to leave
for MaysviIe, at 12 o'clock Friday, ac-
companied by fifty citizens of Ports
mouth as an escort d'honneur.
