kossUTH HATs.-Some of these hats,
with the appropriate feather, have been on
our streets for several days. They are
neat and light, and might we'll supercede
the ungainIy bell-crown so long in fashion.
The matter however will be carried to ex-
tremes, if not to ridiculousness, as the fol-
lowing statement from a New York paper
will show. Since the terrible slaughter OF
poultry during the holidays, says that pa
per, " the imitation Magyar feather has ap-
pearcd in the caps Of muIHiudes OF the
flash-boys of New York. Not one of the
tail-pleces of the turkeys and barn-door
roosters has been lost; all have been pro-
NOTED from that extremity of the poultry
to adorn the other end Of the Fast-boys
We noticed one fellow sporting in lhis way
a couple Of entire goose wings, 50 natural

not have known that anything had happen

to find out whether one goose had lost his
wings, or another one had found pair.

The Crescent City.

New ORLEANS, Nov. cit would ap-
pear that the difficulty between the authori-
ties at Havana and the Crescent City, arc
not yet ended At the late arrival Of the
Steamer at that port, any communication
was denied so long as Purser Smith was on
board. This was subsequently rescinded in
part, and passengers were allowed to land,
with the understanding that no such perms-
sion would again be granted. Several at
tempts were made to settle the difficulty, but
without effect 1t was stated that if Smith
would write letter to the Captain General,
denying the charges against him, the difficult
ty would be adjusted; but Capt. Davenport
replied that he would, under no considera-
ton, suffer any person under his command
to make any communication with the Cuban
authorities upon the subject. He also stated
that Purser Smith was private citizen of
the United States, and could go where and
when he pleased, without hindrance or in
reference upon the part of the government.

TRADING WIvEs.-An interesting and
novel case came off last week before Clark
Miles, Esq, justice of the peace; of which
the following are the particulars;
Two men and their wives living in the
same house, across the river, by mutual
consent, agreed to trade wives protenlpore.--
Title was conveyed, and possession deiv-
cred, and matters passed along smoothly for
two weeks, when Mrs., prefering her
old husband to her new one, wanted to trade
back, but the other parties, satisfied with
the bargain, would not consent, whereupOn
Mrs. s.-entered a complaint against them,
and upon examination they were committed
to the county Jail. The funniest of the
affair is, that the compainants are as guilty
as those complained of, and they are per-
mtted to go unpunished while the others
suffer -OSkoSh Courier.

the London Times, in late communication
to that paper relative to the Guano Islands,
estimates the guano found on them TO n
mount at least to two hundred and fifty mill
ions Of tons. To remove this deposit, at
the rate of a million Of tons per annum, would
require two hundred and fifty years, and en-
ploy, for that time, thousand ships of
