PORTSMOUTH HARBoR-VIsIr FROM A
WHARF.-THE Portsmouth Journal of Saturday
says:
''On Tuesday last, when nearly all the harbors
on the coast, from Passamaquoddy to the Poto-
mac, were either shut up or encumbered by ice,
our noble river flowed on in its wonted channel,
which old Boreas has never yet been able to clog
by single fetter. And more than this, as if the
hme of the Piscataqua had been whispered among
the fnny tribe, on that day delegate from old
Neptune, in the shape of whale Of about thirty
feet in length, came leisurely up by our wharves
to Portsmouth Bridge, halfa mile above the Navy
Yard, played about for while, and then retired
again TO the ocean, seemingly disposed to report
that not half the value of the Pscataqua has vet
been spoued over the ocean.

mot an open frepace,9 win add peculiar property
to the atmosphere OF room, which will give great
relief to persons troubled with cough. The heat of
the stove is sufficient to throw off the aroma of the
xosn, and gives the same relief that is afforded by
the combustion of the rosin. This is preferable to
combustion, because the evaporation is durable.
The same rosih may be used for weeks.

confined for debt in the Boston jail-says the Trav
elel--is six months. The debt amounted to 500,
which was created by purchasing pennyworth of
snuff at time. Having refused pay the debt, the
creditor, in rage, said he not to be "sneezed
att by such snuff taker, and declared he would
pay his board in Jail until he paid the debt, but at
the end of six months the creditor gave in, and the
debtor was released, very much elated with his
triumph.
