humble opinion that ,ha, confounded
Yankee wasn't any more drunk lest night
than we were. I, was all a sham on his

Reaching the bar-room, Clark seized
his hat from the shelf, and Instantly
placed it upon his heads full quart Of
oil came ,rinkling down over his head
and shoulders. 81 thought had es-
capped, but this is outrageous" he gasped.
"Blast the Yankee, he has spoiled my al;

10 his companions, while the oil was
vending its way steadily down over his
shoulders.
During his absence, the others had
found note addressed to them, which
ran something after ,his style:
@My dear friends When you attemp,
to make victim Of peGer, obtain one
NOT so bright as yourselves"
They attempted joking no more during
The session Of the court; and when the
story leaked out, as of course il did, il
was rather expensive by way Of treats for
all hands.

The number is yet ;nuct too small!
although rapidly increasing. who may
place upon their tables delicious sorts On
mos, any day Of the entire year. bgef
4 Facilities for this annual round of deli
cacies varyin diferen, portions Of The
Union. In the most northern State,
where the culture OF fruit has received
the most attention, the earliest sorts Of
the cherry and strawberry ripen by the
first day Of summer; the later sorts, with
the addition Of currents and raspberries,
extend the period for six weeks, or until
midsummer. Apricots, in connexion
with the earlier pears, plums, and ap.
pies, Immediately follow, and fill up the
space ill the rich profusion Of autumn
fruits, in all their kinds, keep up an
abundant supply till winter. Grapes and
pears may be kept till spring; and, by a
proper attention TO sorts anil to good
keeping, apples may be bad every day of
the year, or al leas, until the next straw
berry season in early summer. "aaa
Is not an abundant provision for this
yearly supply an object worthy Of much

iii. The palue Of fruit for market, as
a source ofincome, has been proved by
many striking instances. Farmers whose
orchards do not occupy tenth Of their
land, often make more by the sale Of fruit
than f;om all other crops besides. We
have already seen in wha. manner 400
bushels ofapples may be relied on as az.
annual crop from one acre Of laud. Ad,
hitting only half ,his amount Of good
fui, for market, and that Me ungnihered
crop is worth only twelve and a half cents

the right of way across the lsthmus.
We also informed, by passenger who
conversed on the subject with the American
Consul at Vera Cruz, on the 7th inst, hat
the mass Of the lower orders of Mexican peo-
pie are opposed to the confirmation of the

ToCoHiSG IScIDENT.-1'he Louisville
Democrat of Friday, relates the following
touching incident: .....
An aged mother---a woman Of seventy
years--leit her home in the Emerald Isle
some ten weeks ago TO seek the abode of
her children, who are now residents ofLouls-
VILE After tedious passage, and the
trouble incident to long journey she reach
cd this city from New Orleans last Monday
night, on board the Ak. Scott, and sOon she
was surrounded by her children. Her son
was the first to see her, and he hastcned to
inform his sister Of their mothers arrival
They Inet--(the mother and the daughtcr)
in one long embrace, which only ended as
the infirm mother sank with excitement to
the floor. She had swooned away in the
rapturous enjoyment OF beholding once
more daughter 80 long lost to her. She
pronounced a blessing upon her children
and then tainted away, Whenever restor-
ed to conscOusness,t the sight efher children,
and the pleasing recollection of their pres
ence, would overcome her with emotions, land
again and again she would faint in their
arms. Physicians were called to her aid
but could afford her no relief. For two days
she continued in this condition until worn
cut with fatigue and excitement, exhausted
nature gave way and the mother now "sieep'
well" in the green earth of her new made
home. How strange, how sorrowful anC
Ihow touching are the incidents Of life.

Now IS THE TrME.-We care but little,

Now IS THE TIME.-We care but little,
says the Toledo Blade, in what form the
Wings perfect their party organization for
the approaching campaign in Ohio. 1t is
quite evident, whoever is the candidate,
Fillmore, Scott or Webster, it will be an
Actiyeone. The time has come when the
pent up spirit, which has been prematurely
enkindled by the imbecility andParty knave-
nv Of the Legislature, should assume tan
gible shape. Wings at least, should begin
to understand each other---to rally-to con-
vert--to preach the truth. There never was
a time in Ohio when materials were more
numerous--when the denominations Of Loco
focoism were more glaring-when its per-
nicious influences were more severely felt
or when its interests were confded to the
keeping of leaders at once, so weak and cor
rupt. The people are anxious to join i'll an
enthusiastic campaign. Public sentiment is
ready for an insurection among the honest
sober minded Democracy. They feel they
have been gulled, and are more eager, ifpos'
sible, than the Wings to show it. We need
nothing stronger to rally upon than the
broad and open ground of opposition to the
legislation of the past session. Itis enough
Itexhibits at glance, corruption and knave'
ry enough to destroy any party which prom
ises to perpetuate such evils. Let us at once
begin the work. l-.

RULES Fer HEALTH,-Punch says, never
drink any thing but water. Never eat any
thing but oatmeal. Wear the thickest
boots. Walk fifteen miles every day. Avoid
all excitement;s consequently it is best to re-
main single, for then you will be free from
all household cares and matrimonial troubles,
and you will have no children to worry you.
The same rule applies to smoking, taking
snuff, playing cards, and arguing with an
Irishman. They are all strong excitements,
which must be figdy avoided, if you value
in the least your health. By carefully at
tending to the above rules there rs every
/ probability that you may live to hundred
wears. and that you will enjoy your hundreth
wear fully as much as you did your twenty
! first
