BUTTER.-This article still looks down. Ev-
cry telegraphic report from New York quotes it
as heavy, while every intelligence from all Sec
tons of the dairying country declares that it is
falling in price, At Cleveland, Ohio, it only
brings one shilling pound, and if Indications
continue here as they have began, it will be as
low here. There is all the butter at New York
which will be wanted for months to come. High
prices have prevented expectation. Early but
ter will soon come into market, which will finish
the story. 1t will be too cheap, we suspect, for
profitable manufacture. At any rate, it is des-
tined to be sold at low prices. Troy Wing

The PRESIDENTS PRIVATE SEcRETARY.-It
is understood that Gen. Pierce has selected Sid
ney Webster, Esq, as his private Secretary, and
will be attended by him on his way to the seat
of government. As this is a confidential post
of some importance, both to the President and
to the incumbent, and as it is much exposed to
many species of outside influence, both evil and
good, in peculiar degree, it may interest our
readers to know something more of Mr.. Pierce's
choice.
Mr.. Webster was born at CINNAMON, N. H.,
in 1926 or '27, and is, therefore, about "a years
of age. He graduated at Yale College in l84S,
and Immediately entered the law office Of his un-
Gle, the Hon. Mr.. Peasee, Of Concord, who is
now one of the members of Congress from n H.
At the expiration of six months he entered the
law school at Cambridge, where he remained two
years, and then entered the office of VIM. Dihon,
Esq, in Boston, where he completed his profess
sional studies.
In November, 1851, he was admitted to the
bar Of Massachusetts, when he returned to N.
Hampshire and entered into partnership with
Col. George, of Concord, who, since the retire
ment of Gen. Pierce, stands at or near the head
of the New Hampshire bar. 1t was here, and in
this relation, that he was found and invited by
General Pierce to accompany him to Washing
ton, in the capacity of private secretary. We
understand that he is a gentleman Of modest
and unassuming address. and above all, man
of inhexible integrity. We congratulate him
upon the suspicious dawn of his public career

ORGANIZATION OF NEW TERRIToRY.-The
House last Thursday passed two bills for the or
ganization of new Territories one for the d.
vision of Oregon, and the formation of a Terri
tory south of 40 deg. north latitude, and north
of the Columbia river, from its mouth to where
the 46th deg. of north latitude crosses said riv-
er at Fort Walla Walla, thence with the said
46th deg. to the summit of the Rocky Noun
tains; the other for the organization of Ter
ritory with the name of Nebraska bounded on
the west by the summit of the Rocky Noun
tains, on the east by Missouri and Iowa, on the
south SO deg. 80 min north latitude, on the
north by the AID deg. These Territories lie
north Of the Missouri Compromise line.
The bills protect the rights of Indians now
in the Territories, and will doubtless open the
the way for settlement and civilization.

They seem 10 have gained the love and confidence

Of the school which nre so essential to educate anl

The Saturday Evening Post clips tn
following lines from the Picayune, and say
'phcy are pertinent to a certain class whicl
may be found in almost every community.
The Post would have been still nearer TIT
mark had it unqualih,dIy included each ant
every community in existence, not even c1
cepting that Of OLYMPIA:
Is it any body's business
If gentleman should choose
To wait upon a lady,
II the lady don't refuse
Or, 10 speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know,
Is it anybody's business
If a lady has beau
Is it anybody's business
When that gentleman does call,
Or when he leaves the lady,
Or if he leaves at all!
Or is it necessary
That the curtains should be drawn,
To save from farther trouble,
The outside lockers on?
Is it anybody's business
But the lsdy's, If her beau
Rides out with other ladies',
And doesn't let her know?
Is it snybody's business
But the gentleman's, il she -,
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance 10 be?
Ifa persons on the sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
Is it anybody's business
Where that person means TO call!
Or if you see a person,
As he's calling anywhere,
Is it any q yoUF business,
What his business may be there!
The subStance Of our query,
Simply stated, would be this
Is it any bOdy'' business
What aHOthcr's busiHCs IS!
fhis, or if it isn't,
We would really like 10 know,
For we're certain if it isn't,
There are some who make it so.
nt is, we'll join the rabble,
And act the noble part
Of the tattlers and dcfamers,
Who throng the public mart
But if not, well act the teacher,
Until each meddler learns
1t were better in the future,
To mind his own concerns.
