On estimating the quantity Of cloth in her
clothing, when dressed for ride on a winter S
day, we found it to contain 9S5 yards, of Z
yards wide cloth. She has brown hair, dark
blue eyes, is Of fair complexion, and has what
phrenOlogists would call we'll balanced head,
the pereeptlve organs predominating. She
can Knit, spin, weave, make a shirt or batch
Of bread, is good singer, and plays the piano
with taste and skill--is considered one Of the
best scholars in the town where she resides is
courteous and affable and lively in conversa-
tion, and eyinces general knowledge which
might rise blush on the cheek Of our city
bellies"

of a wag, who, to raise the wind, advertised
that on certain day he would crawl into Il

to make good his retreat, the performer came
forward and apologized to tho audience Tor
disappointing them, but said it was impossible
to perform the feat, as he could not t1ad q
bottle large eROaghi Immediately after this
apology he left.

The following, from Vermont paper, Is
curious specimen Of discriminating musical

Of pain in the bowels"
