It is astonishing that such thing as the
following should fall under the cissors Of 50
chaste man as our Vis-a- W. neighbor:
San amatxer sportsman had beautiful

marked to him, "What fine dog you have
MI. Mp Miss said he, that is
not a dog; it is oM Of your own SEX"
This is only OUT done by an anecdote Of
Brother P: Brother is partially
fond of the noble animal so essential to
mans pleasure and comfort-the horse
It's weakness in Brother P, to boast
Of having the best, and be likes to propagate
the species. Upon one occasion when he
was down to B., with very diminu-
tive specimen Of the family, a lady said to
him, "Lor! Brother P, where did YOU
get that pretty little horse He is a gem

SETTING Glass WITHOUT PUTTY.-The
method Of setting glass without putty, re-
Gently invented, is the following: The win
dow sash is made entirely of wood, the out
side permanent. The inside is framed in
such manner that the parts can be readily
removed, for the purpose of inserting the
glass, which is placed between strips of In
dia rubber, which when the parts of the sash
are replaced, causes the glass to be perfect
ly firm. The movable parts of the sash are
secured to their place by knob screw
which makes pretty finish. The advan-
tages of this method of setting glass must
be obvious upon a moments reelection.

The INDUSTRIAL FAIR IN THIS Cry.
We published portions Of a letter from
a gentleman in Alabama, to DR.. A. L.
Plough, Of this city. who has taken
such deep interest in the project Of
getting up q great Southwestern In
dustrial Fair next year in New Or
leans. Politics have SO absorbed the
attention of the whole country for the
last six months, that all other subjects
of importance had to sink before them
into a temporary oblivion. Now that
this major obstacle is removed, we
have no doubt our planters will give
heed to the scheme which this letter
treats Of :-Delta.
TUSCALOOSA, Noy. 3, 1852.
"The proceedings of the meeting
held in New Orleans last spring per-
liminary to a Southwestern industrial
Exhibition, together with the address
Of the committee then appointed, have
been anxiously looked for since the
fist of June. We are at loss to con.
lecture the causes Of the delay; but
to whatever cause it is attributable the
effect has been to arrest the efforts of
the friends Of the enterprise in Ala
bama.
1.-The apathy of the people of your
State and city will, ! fear, render
abortive all your exertions and anx-
ious solcitude. If the people of New
Orleans will take hold Of the subject
with an earnestness indicating that
they are determined something shall
be done, I still think Alabama will
come to our aid. But unless this is
done and done soon, your much cher
ished enterprise may be regarded as a
failure"

Agnin ~ en- public attention to the fact
that the Bsrtks at this place, are going
to wreck for the want Of handful Of mer
to take care Of Aem.
It has been 10y year since there
was any troops atths Post, and it is going
to shameful waste and wreck for want o.
attention.
The quarters here are admitted to be Of
the very best character-in healthy and
salubrious location-on the most lovely
spot Of ground to be found anywhere on the
banks of the Mississippi. Its natural adj
vantas.e for Navy Yard are unsurpassed
by any in the Union. The government
through blind agent that was sent South
several years ago to look upa location for
! new Southern Navy Yaal thlugh mis-
representation and the penniary interest
Of others, succeededin having the depotdlt
Memphis in the State of Tennessee, than
which there is not more uiIsllited place
in tie government.
If we ean1ever have any more troops
here to take care of the Post will the GOV
eminent sell its Located as it ison3the
North side of our city and id close proxiim-
ity toiA Il keeps the town from improving
in that direction, and this too without bene-
filing any one. Could our Representatives
in Congress Fl nd an hour of leasms to be-
stow in attention TO This mattar they would
not only serve The District, but the State,
and the United States. We shall speak of
the matter whenever On occasion offers, and
will not rest until something is done with
the post.
Perhaps it may be said that lit does not
concern us,'' but we think differently. A
spot Of such natural loneliness as that, could
not fail to benefit our town, and IL should
not be kept idle, and PERMITTED to 20 to-
waste. CO.. So

AMBAsDoR FROM PITcAlRN's Is
LAND.--Among the passegers by the
Orinoco steamer, which arrived at
Sou hampton England, on the 9th o.
tober, from the East Indies, was an
inhabitant of Pitcairn s Island, celebra-
ted as the residepce of the descendants
of the mutineers Of the Bounty. He
was the bearer of dispatches from Ad-
miral Moresby in the Pacific ocean,
and his object in coming to England is
to obtain some assistance for the relig-
ious education Of the people Of Pit
cairns Island, and to induce the gov
ernment to allow English 4hips Of war
70 visit the Island oftener than thea
now do. The individual alluded 70
is about sixty years Of age, and about
twenty-five years ago visited Pitcairn,
and was allowed to remain on the Is
land as religious teacher and to prac-
tire medicine. He is almost the only
stranger ever allowed to remain at Pit
cairn, and to be considered as one Of
The community. The Inhabitants Of
the island in question numbered,
when he left, eighty-six females and
eighty.eight males, who are nearly all
descended Of the Bounty mutincers,
and three Tahitan women. They are
still remarkable for their moral and
religious character, chiefly through the
teaching and example Of Adams, the
chief mutineer.

The democracy ned another very large meeting last

that the honest yeomanry turned out in full numbers
Addresseswee made by several gentlemen, and the

The decision by the Louisiana court in The McDonogh
will case has caused some excitement. If this decision
be not reversed the cities of Baltimore and New Orleans
will OF course lose what awarded them by the de-
ceased. Nearly all the relatives reside here most Of
whom wealthy, and others very poor. IT., however,
the vast estate should be divided among them, they will
all be independently rch am told that the counsel for
the cities will carry the matter to the Supreme Court
for final adjustment If this be the case considerable
time must intervene before either party gets hold OF the
spos The deceased (McDonogh) resided in Baltimore
when very young man. He was then poor and not
being much thought OF by bis relations, the story
goes, he determined to forsake them and his
own fortune He accordingly emgrated 10 Louisiana,
where, by industry extreme economy, and unusual good
luck he accumulated the wealth which is bone of
contention There are probably twenty or thirty rela-
lves here, amongst whom the Colsses and Murdocks,
who will share in this fortune The lawyers will doubt
less geta very handsome share OF it,
The wings contemplate getting up grand mass meet
ing here on the of General Scott from his political
western tour. 1t will take place probably little before
the Maryland cattle show, 10 which, understand, the
General is invited.
