The DROP GAME.-An aged and venerated
clergyman of this vicinity, (says the Newark
Aduertiser0 who has been attending the ami
versaries during the past week; was successful
ly operated on last Thursday evening, by New
York sharpers, with the drop game. AS he
was passing througha street near the ferry about
dusk, he heard something drop at his feet, which
was Immediately picked up by rough looking
fellow behind, while at the same time person,
apparently gentleman called out to him that
he had dropped his pocket book. The clergy
man having ascertained that this was not the
case, the gentleman who had come up and stop
Ped began to urge his rough accomplce to adj
vertise the pocket book, which was found to
contain some $3.50 in bills. The latter, how
ever saying he was a hand on n steamboat, and
must leave Immediately, and offered the pocket
book, and the chances Of reward from the own
er, to the apparent gentleman for $40, which he
professed not to have with him, or he would
have accepted the Offer Another gentlemanly
looking accomplish now came up, and said he
would take the pocket book, at the sum offered
if the clergyman would lend him $780, and 90
with him around the corner to his store where
he would repay him. Not having any suspi-
cions, the clergyman handed Sl3 in bills to the
original finder who pocketed it, gave him the
pocket book, and cleared with the first gentle
man. While on his way to the pretended store
of the second, the latter was taken with curl
osity to examine more closely the contents, and
discovered that the bills were spurious limitations
and consequently refused to refund the $l3,
with the loss of which, the clergyman found
that he was done" He processes to have
learned, for the first time, anything about the
"drop game" and attributes his verdancy solely
to the fact of not being an attentive reader of
the daily papers.

sg' Our citizens were much disappointed in
consequence of Mr.. PHILBRIcK's failure to give
his second concert on Thursday evening accord
ing to appointment. The arrangements for get
ting up the river at that particular time were un-
expectedly such as to render it necessary for
him TO leave town on Thursday afternoon in or
der that he might be able to meet engagements
in other places. 1t was an unavoidable neces-
sity, and one which Mr.. PHILBRIcK regrets equal
ly with those who were in consequence obliged
to forego the anticipated entertainment of the
evening.

There is one item in the contract for the con-
struction of the Oakland and Ottawa road, we
are informed, which has not been mentioned in
the newspapers, and which is Of particular inter-
est to farmers along the line of the road-and
that is the fencing. This the contractors are
bound to do for the entire line. We are glad
of this provision. To the failure of the Michi-
gan Central Company to provide this indispen-
sable precautionary measure, is much Of the
complaints against them by residents along the
line attributable. Indeed, had their line been
fenced, we have no idea that the difficulty with
the Jackson county conspirators woud ever have
occurred. G. r. Enquirer.

A PLEASANT COUNTRY TO LIVE IN.-We find
the following among recent items of foreign.in-
telligence
The incursons Of bears and wolves into the
settled parts of Norway and Sweden, are desert
bed as having been frighlful during the winter
just past. The bears come fearlessly into the
villages and the small peasant settlements in
Norway, break into the cattle enclosures, kill the
oxen and cows, and feast themselves whole
nights through; while the wolves seem to have
full sway down as far south as the 63d degree
Of latitude. All Scandinavia lies buried deep in
snow and the wild beasts driven to extremity,
unite in bands and force their way even to the
midst of the towns and villages. A letter from
Pitea, port OH the gulf of Bothnia, dated Feb.
10Th, states that in the parish Gilvaru, in Swe-
dish Lapland, an exceedingly severe and long
continued snow storm prevailed during the lat
ter half of January, more severe, indeed, than
any experienced on the whole extent of the
coast During this storm the Lapps employed
in the transportation of ores were obliged to lay
it by for five days, Mt the mines Of Gillvara, it
being impossible to travel. During this time,
ten wolves paid visit to Lapp named Errson,
and killed a hundred Of his reindeer. Several
similar instances of destruction of these animals
are given as having occurred both in Sweden and
Norway.

PETRIrIEp MAN.-The Morris Qll.) Yeoman
states that not long since, while some men
were digging in coal bank near the canal,
they exhumed the body of man in perfect
state of petrifaction. From the corduroy cloth
in which the legs were encased, the cords and
seams of which are perfectly defined, it is sup
posed to be the body of one OF the Irish labor
ers engaged in the construction of the canal.

YANKEE YACHT VIcToRY-At the opening

American clipper, that possessed The advantage

on the list, but the American so engrossed the
attention Of leading yachtmeD that but little
thought was bestowed upon them. As the time
approached for the start, the most lively interest
prevailed and as they had to beat against dead
noser all the way down, it was quite evident that
barring accidents, the merits of the boats would
be tested, and soon enough indeed they were.

spccted the yachts at their stations gave the sig.

WIT OF A GERMAN LAwYER.-There are ma
ny stratagems in war; and many, it may be
well said in love war.
A young man of Nuremburg, who had no for
tune, requested lawyer, friend of his to rec
ommend him to family where he was a daily
visitor, and where was handsome daughter
who was to have large fortune. The lawyer
agreed, but the father of the young lady, who
loved money, Immediately asked what property
the young man had? The lawyer said be did
not exactly know, but he would enquire. The
next time he saw his friend he asked him if he
had any property at all
"No." replied he.
"Well," said the lawyer, "wonld you suffer
any one to cut off your nose if he would give
you twenty thousand dollars :"
Not for the world"
cts well" replied the lawyer. 81 had rea-
sons for asking"
The next lime he saw the girls father, he said
81 have inquired about the young mans circun-
stances. He has indeed, no ready money, but
he has jewel, for which to my knowledge he
has refused twenty thousand dollars J"
This induced the old man TO consent to the
marriage, which accordingly took place; though
it is said, in the sequel that he often shook his
head when he thought of the jerel.

APpoINTMENTs-E. w. BARNS succeeds Rev.
WIN. M. FERRY as Postmaster in this village.
Mr. FERRY has held the Office from its first es-
Establishment, and under his administration the
duties thereof have been uniformly discharged
in mode that has given entire satisfaction to
the public. The office will soon be removed
to the building now occupied by II. Eaton, Esq
This location will be very convenient one.
We are gratited to learn that Mr.. WILSON has
been re-appointed Light House keeper at Mus
kegon few weeks since successor was APP
pointed, but popular feeling at Mnskegon was
so strongly enlisted in favor of Mr. WILSON that
a remonstrance was forwarded to Washington
and the new appointment revoked. Had all the
circumstances of the case been known to the
appointing power no change would have been
attempted.
There will be nothing further in our immedi-
ate vicinity for us to record under this head. A
clean work has been made All Offices of any
importance within the gift of the people or the
government are now n the hands Of men whose
sentiments and impulses are in unison with
those Of the masses.
