An Errnnenus Nntion.

In old farmer by the name Of Elnathan Skin
ner, had place" near Montpelier, Vair-Inount.
He was an awful spry man himself and expected
everybody to be likewise. Now the old gentle
man had a son, a youth he was. If he was not
quite so brisk in his muscles the old gentle
man, he was at least a foot or two ahead-in wit.
The old man was death on the pale horse on rou-
sing up everybody about day-break every morn
ing; and one morning when his heir apparent
son was as soggy as piece flead, the old man
bawls out, for tic tenth time
"'Oh-h-h, Sam ~
e Sir-r-r!''
g Are you, l say, are you--"
(. No, dad, 1 ant ~
Z" Are you going to get up %
&" Couldn't think oft, dad, possibly" roars the
sonorous voice of Sam.
:" Don't you know, you scamp, how your
brother Bill has been up and shot whole mess
of pigeons 2" exclaims the old man.
q Yes, dad, responds the hopeful, g heard all
that. dad but only look what darned set of fools
them pigeons were, to git up aforc Bill, and be
licked up jest like salt -
Sam turned over and went to sleep worse than
ever, and the old man toddled off, vowing Sam
knowed heap to much for a child of his age!

~AAAAA AS AAAS AAVS SA kAAOs
At very large meeting of the citizens of
the Third Ward, held under the auspices of
the Northern Liberties Division, Sons of
Temperance, convened at the McKendree
Chapel, on the evening of the second of
February, 1853, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted, after discussion,
by large and overwhelming majority.
Whereas, the moral and we'll disposed
people of the City of Washington, having
long seen the evils arising from the traffic in
intoxicating liquors as a common beverage,
and having, after years eff patient labor, SO
far operated on the public mind as to in
duce the councils of the city to pass law,
wing to a majority of the citizens, in GER
tain locations, the right to say whether
THAR neighborhood should, or should not
be cursed with shops where alcoholic drinks
could be sold according to law, and having
received said law as an earnest of ebetter
time coming" We, the citizens Of the Nor
thern Liberties have heard with profound
establishment, grief and adherence, of the
injustice of the Board Of Aldermen, who
did, at the meeting Of their Board, held on
the 31st of January, pass partial and I'M
just bill, granting special license to man
tirs, Contrary to the wish of the inhabi-
tants thereof to vend liquors by the glass,
i'll house kept by him ON the corner of
7th and streets, said man having failed,
by entreaties, persuasions, and threats, to
secure the required majority of signatures
to enable him to obtain license for the ne
farious business above named-therefore,
Be it Resolved, that We, citizens of the
Third Ward, protest against the above re-
u.
Resolved further, that our immediate rep
r,sentatives be instructed, and the other
members of the Board of Common Council
be requested to vote against said unjust
aud partial bill as passed by the Board of
Aldermen
RESOLVED further, that we have full faith
ill the integrity and justice of the Board of
Common Council, but should that faith be
not we'll founded, we look to the Mayor,
aid earnestly pray him, should said act
cume before him for his signature, that he
will veto the same, while the existing law,
granting licenses for the vending of liquors
ill groggeries, refectories, taverns, and he
tls, remains upon the statute book.
Resolved, that Messrs. A. F. Cunningham,
John C. Hardness, and Enoch Burnett, be
appointed Committee to convey copies of
these proceedings to our Representatives,
the Board of Common Council, and to his
honor John W. Maury the Mayor.
Resolved, that the proceedings be signed
by the Committee, and that the editors of
the papers of the city, be respectfully re-
quested to give the same an insertion in
their respective journals.

Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig.)
The North British Review, Free Church,
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) ana
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory,)
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
On the increase, Notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American Pc
riodicals of u similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics aid Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they aEe held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guarantee
that they are established on firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as The Caxtons' and "My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
& The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.

Bv the Baltic arrived in New York

inst, we learn the following facts in
reference to the reception of Mr.. Soule
our Minister to Spain:
On the evening of the 22d, Mr..
Soule, Minister of the United States
to Spain, was admitted to an audience
with the Queen. The Queen was at
tended by the Minister of Foreign
AEairs, and by the officers of the pal
ace. After being ushcred in with the
usual ceremonies, Mr.. Soule handed
to the Queen the Presidents letter,
accrediting him as Envoy to the
Spanish Court, and then addressed her
a, follows in the English language:
Mr.. Soule's SpeecA.-" Madam ::
In delivering the letter which accred-
its me as Envoy Extraordinary and

rOur neighbor of the Advocate
is out in his last edition as a candi-
date for State Printer. In all the
necessary appointments to do the work,
he is fully prepared, and should by al
means have it. The publishing Of the
laws anywhere else is fragrant out
rage on the present constitution, and
operates against the country, in a most
ruinous manner, as We are prepared to
show. If the State Printer must be
elected from New Orleans, it should
be required of him to remove his office
to the Capital during the session Of
the Legislature, at least. We have an
article or so on hand, when afew facts
will be submitted to the people at large
to show how their intrests are preju.
diced by laws becoming laws in New
Orleans, before they are anywhere
else in the State.

y The BOARD OF SELEcTMEN.-The
board me. the other day to open pro-
posals to build new wharf
There was only one bid-it was
opened and passed upon, as too high
and further time allowed for other pro-
posal5 1t is really to be hoped that
if the Board undertakes the work of
building a wharf, it will not be "a one
horse affair." to last few weeks; de-
cidedly better will it be to laave the
landing as it is, than to mar it with an
ungainly apology that will have to be
taken down in a short time after its
erection. Such has been the character
of nearly every public improvement
that has been undertaken in this place
for the past few years, and it does not
speak for the economy ofour legislators.
We have large bowels Of compassion
for the small body of men who sacri-
fee their time in the board, to be
abused on all hands by the people ;
we opine that there are some few men
in the community who have the inter
est of the town at heart, and will ap.
prove of any substantial work that is
designed to benefit the whole town
Let the wharf be of such a character,
or dispense with building any, for the
present.

JURlEs OF WoMEN.-The great
number of aggravated assaults COM
mitted by men on their wives, il
England, has led one of the London
journals to recommend a Lew punish
ment for such offences, as well as a
novel method of awarding it. The
proposition is to try all such assaults
by jury of women, partly to obtain a
fairer verdict, partly to cover the
criminal with ridicule.
