gas~ We learn from Capt WOODBURY., that the
Light vessel Frying Pan Shoals has recently ar
rived at Smthvlle, and will soon be taken to her
place near the extremity of the Shoals, when she

trade and to the immense coastwise and foreign
feet passing continually along coast, conspic-
mark II indicate by day and by night their
own position at sea, and the place of the danger
which they would wish to avoid, or the nearest APP
proach which they can safely make towards land.
This vessel is, we arc informed by Capt. WooD-
BURY. who has just received her the part of the
L. H. Board, very strongly made, her hull of white
oak and Wilmington pine-has two decks, the upper
one being very high above water-her capacity a
bout 800 tons-her model beautiful and evidently
well suited to the intended use.
She is, without doubt by far the best light vessel
hitherto made in this country, and perhaps not in
ferior to any in the world.
She was bui and equipped by the very enterpri
sing firm of FARDY & AULD. Baltimore, who, at the
same time, constructed similar vessel for Nantuck
ct Shoals.
The Illuminating apparatus is entirely new in this
country and will enable this vessel to exhibit gh

Our curiosity has been not merely on tip'toe, but
positively upon stills, for some months past, watch
ing the 10 result of the hostile correspondence be-
tween the Great Bear and the little Turkey cock
The whole affair has been almost as absurd as an
affair of honor" and if the parties concerned had
been individuals instead of nations, the business
would have long ago been brought to conc fusion.

any other notes than diplomatic notes had passed on
this occasion, there would have been no end to the

On the banks of the River Nacion, Canada, two
hunters dogs pressed deer, which took to the river.
On approaching the animal in canoe, they were
surprised 10 perceive it struggling desperately, being
every now and then jerked suddenly under water
The hunters dragged the deer into the canoe when a
turtle weighing forty pounds found firmly fas'en-
ed to its tail. The turtle retained its grip for up
wards of two hours after the deer was killed.

The Wilmington Cemetery.

The attention of our people seems to be aroused to
the Importance of providing suitable place for the
burial of the dead For sanitory reasons-if no high
er OF nobIer considerations would actuate such a
mevement-we think it is time that the citizens of
this 1onrshng and rapidly increasing city should lend
ready aid 10 accomplish the design ofthose who are
now making so praiseworthy effort to promote the
public good. BY the provisions of the charter, the
money subscribed will all be reimbursed with interest
ont of the proceeds of the sales of the lots and burial
fees.
Some ready money will of course be required to
purchase the ground lay off and inclose it, and we
are informed that the gentlemen concerned in the
management of the business, have made a judicors
selection of piece of land in the immediate neigh
hnrhnnd of the City.

Reflections ana ACnb A@S
BY A SALARY MAN.
b There was tme,2 blissful time.
When human food was cheap
rot its worth for every dimes
: Nor debts disturbed my sleep.
.sMan's inhumanty to man,
know it, Scotia's bard
Twelve cents pound for rattle-ran,
And sixteen cents for lard
Higher than larks the poultry flies
Six cents pound for shins
All! everything has ia en- q rise,
From turkeys down to pins.
Time was. when, closed my weekly work,
On Goldfish could smile
had it served with liquid pork,
In puritanic style;
But now salt fish holds cost
I'm forced to this OPINION
That Ger the fishes man has lost
The rod of his dominion.
The restorators rule so high,
It makes my eyelids CULVER
Where once called for chicken pie,
whisper now for liver
Six cents a cup for coffee-tea-
Three cents glass for ale
(Methinks here's ground work, Mrs. u,
For more temperance tale.)
MY taste refined no more enacts
What books shall be the rage;
MY literature is only tracts,
Dear at mill page.
I've sold my horse-eschewed cheroots-
Half-star all hands, and yet
find with every pair OF boots
I'm running into debt
I'm bound to take westward hoe,
And settle on prairie,
NV BOYS and viii make things grow,
And wife shall tend dairy.
