in hurry CLOSELY mufiled in my cloak topre-f
went recognition, andieft II ins a hurry, and
now for the first time have aleisure moment
and though separated bysa space of nearly
800 mites, yet we have the pleasing reaec-
ton that the very elements are made the
willing mediums (not spiritual knockers) for
conveying and communicating the thoughts
Of friends thus separated. 1 will make
desperate effort to itenize little, and if my
communication appear labored and ambigu-

charity towards your young pupil in this style

Cincinnati is full of wonders, rdroe ares of
every description, Centrally though more
wonderful on the handbills than anywhere
else. There is now on exhibition a prodgi-
ously huge woman, weighing only 764l
pounds, measuring feet around the arm and
something less than 8 feet around the rcaist,
and all at only one dime look, something
over AGENT for every hundred pounds. At
another place the passer is very politely in
|
to see the largest OK in the world, weighing.
5000 pounds, (not quite much the wo-
man.) Pharaoh's well favored kline weren't a
patching to it. Then comes the celebrated
wonder Of wonders, acknowledged by natur-
alists to be the greatest wonderin the world,
the "wild mare of Venezuela" captured en-,
the plains of South America, possessing the
finest symmetry of figure, and the wonderful
quality of passing through the fire without
scorching hair, "coz why's she hasn't any
hair to scorch. Beats the ''woolly horse"
hall holler. ,,.,s,e,. ..,.ssr..l - - .,sss

A large and beautiful lo,o pressure steamer
;. to be called the 'sLewis Bateman," is being
built at Cincinnati. She is intended for the
: Louisville trade, and will go clear through by
: daylight. This, believe, will be the first
. experiment with the low pressure engine on
/, the Western waters, and will solve the pro-
; blem, whether it can be used efficiently ON
our muddy rivers. Sc.I ssKI1vJd aS1ossc

A German fireman fell from the steamer
Pittsburgh last evening, while lying at the
Pittsburgh wharf, but was rescued from a wa
terry grave by tie timely assistance of his
co-laborers. The poor devil, though not quite
drowned. was frightened cut of his senses.4-
On being taken to the shore and "let loose, -

started off as if looking for something, and at
last got downinto the river sgan;. again he
was dragged out and let loose; off he started
still muttering in his incoherent mann er, and
still apparently engaged in his search, and
like the horse that rescued from the fire,
dashes into the element, he proceeds to try
the river again. The loving mate very affec-
tiouately cursed him, and sent two deck
hands to 60 in and either drown him or
take him on board, he wasn't very particular
which. He was secured however. adsI
The new steamer, A vinAdams, now lying
at the wharf, preparing to start on her first
trip in day or two, is one of the finest boats
in the upper trade. Her cabin is finished
and furnished magni6cently. She is intend
ed for the packet line between Wheeling |
