SoMERsEr.-Our spunky little neighbor
appears to have enough of energy and
enterprize to have both railroads and
the county seat. A few days since the
merchants formed a"Board of Trade" and
elected Dixon Brown, President; NJ =
Meller, Secretary; and Adam Finck, M"F
Scott and A. J. Delong committee, whose
duty it is to meet once week, to regulate
prices and devise means generally for the
progress Of business. "In Union there II

SERVED HIM RIGHT "A young married
lady ofrespectsbility, was recently insult
ingly charged by Boston op-keeper, while
in his store, with having stolen goods from
him, and he proceeded 10 rndely search her
person. The lady was 90 shocked by the
occurrence that she was taken i'll Of fever,
upon her return home, and the store-keeper
hearing of her sickness, sent her an apollo
getic note, requesting permission to call and
explain the matter. Leave was granted.an
evening appointed, and the shop-keeper
called and was shown into the back parlor.
The folding doors were then thrown open,
and the husband ofthe insulted lady led him
forward into the brilliantly lighted room,
where n large party was assembled, and af-
ter introducing him as "the gentleman who
had accused his wife Of stealing" opened
the street door.upon which one OF the young
ladies' present went to the piano and com
menced the "Rogue's March," The shop
keeper took the hint, and his coat tails dis

How New YoRk is TO HAVE NO MINT.
The loss of the New York Mint Bill in
Congress is said to have resulted from the
detention of Mr.. Price, of New Jersey-a
friend of the .bill-by a lady just as he was
entering the House. His vote would have
made, tie, and the Speaker being favorable
to its passage too, New York would have
had her much coveted Mint.-Ctn. Gdz.

MEDARY RULED OUT.-Such is the Cab
met report from Washington, but rumor is
such an uncertain jade that like as not the
Colonel will appear in sthe real programme.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune, however, writes on the 9Th:
Its know n here as n matter of absolute
certainty that Col Samuel Medary, of Ohio,
is not to go into the Cabinet Gen. Pierce
under one-sde information, was most any
ious, doubtless, to include Col. NJ. IN his
programme. The visit of DR.. Freis, however,
has settled the question against his appoint
ment. Fries enjoys high character as a
man, and when in Congress, really enjoyed
as he deserved, the personalrespect OF every
member. Those who side with him here
that is, the anti-Medary Ohioans now in
Washington, take it for granted that f., who
was never inclined to be mcaly- -mout ned
has fully explained to Gen. Pierce, that the
appointment of Col. Medary will be, inte"
words, an assurance Of as wide breach a
mong the democracy of Ohio, as that whlcf
not long since existed between the Barn
burners and Hunkers of New York I'M
Bill Allen and Sam Medary quarrel-thes'
being the high principles on which the cur
rent squabble among the Ohio Democrac!
lis based-has apparently rendered it almos
positively certain that Ohio must stand asid
in the distribution of Cabinet "portiollos.

NAroLEoN's MARRIAGE.--The news by
the Canada possesses interest The most
exciting topic is the marriage of Napoleon
to Mile Montigo, which has taken Paris by
surprise, and was unfuvorably received on
Bourse. Mile. Montigo is Spaniard,
twenty five years of age, blonde, and
granddaughter of the British Consul at
Malaga. Her mother was Scotch woman
named Fitzpatrick, and her father the youn-
ger son of Spanish family, who Fortunate
ly, by the death of his elder brother, sue
ceeded to the titles of Count Montigo, Duke
of Teba and Pennamando. Her sister is
Duchess of Abba, and Mademoiselle is her
self Countess of 5Teba. The proposal for
her hand was formally made by the Emper-
or on Sunday last. and was Of course ac-
ceded to. The next day the happy BRIDE
groom communicated to his Ministers that
his determination was taken, and that it was
marriage of affection. One report says
that the Ministers, except one, resigned,
but that the Emperor refused to accept their
resignation. R.t srt @
1t is said that the civil marriage has al
ready taken place, and that the religious
ceremonies will be held on the 29sh January
on which occasion Prince Napoleon Jerome
will espouse the daughter of the Prince o
Wagram, granddaughter to Marshal Berth
ier.
The Emperor said that his alliance was
not in accordance with old traditions-tha
he would not humble himself to go roya
wife e-hunting-that royal alliances were al
ways unfortunate, and often substitute
family interests for those Of the nation a
large.
He spoke as follows of his wife,: Sh
who is to become the object of my prr(er
ence is of high birth. French in heart, b
education, by the remembrance of bloc
shed by her father for the cause of the En-
pire, and she has shield, the advantage c

OREGON FERrILITY.-The Oregon papers
are calling public attention to the peculiar
grain growing qualities of the soil OF that
Territory. The Columbian says there is no
countryin the worla in which wheat arrives
at a greater degree of perfection than IN VI

Weld per acre is obtained, or more lucra'
tive or desirable market for rewarding the

successfully produced, giving assurance tina
their cultivation is not attended without al
adequate reward.

THE WINTER IN EURoPE.-The past and
present winters in Europe and America show
.he rAmarkable features of the season on
the one Continent have great similitude
with those OH the other. The severe win
ter Of last wear manifested itself simultan-
eously in Europe and Anerica, and now in
both hemispheres there is q corresponding
ly mild one:
Accounts from Riga, in Russia, OF 81 OF
January, mention that, in consequence OF
the mild weather, the port still remained
opened, and that ship has just been char
tered for London, circumstance wholly un-
precedented at this period of the year.
The weather in Paris is so mild, that the
chestnut tree named after "the 2oth OF
March," in the garden of the Tuilleries, is
nearly in leaf; in the garden of Luxembourg
there are several rose trees in full bearing
as in Spring, and at the Jurdin des Plantes
some of the almond trees are in flower.
: The weather in England has been of ex
, traordinary high temperature for the season
The mean of December, as registered a
Greenwich, was As deg. min. Fahrenheit
and the thermometer only once decende'
below the freezing point. The average o
+, the last forty ycurs is only about 80 deg. .
min. During the past year 1859, more rail
fell than in any year of the past forty.

From Western From this total Lbls arr

The toll on barrel Of flour from BulfOIo
to Albany, was 35 cents from 1885 to l845;
81 cents from lS46 to 1850 inclusive, and 23
cents for 1851 and 1859.
AS the productive -four Of the "west" is
unlimited, the third column, must, of course,
be considered as indicating the demand for
-four at tide water. 1t is interesting to see
how much of this demand has been met by
our own State, and how much by western
States. Sixteen years ago, this State sup.
piled twice as much as the western States
While the surplus production of this State
since that time has rather diminished with
the increased demand at tide water, the
western States delivered at tide water las
year ten times as much as this State. .-Albang

NOVEL CASE OF SwINDLING.-Th Boston
Post states that we'll dressed man called
upon one of the large carpet dealers onW ed
nesday, and stated that he was the captain
of clipper ship just about to sail for Calior-
mia, and that he wanted tc purchase carpet
| ing to the amount of $4,000 for friend in
San Francisco He bought to the amount
of $1,000, and requested to have the goods
sent to the ship, naming the wharf. The
seller accompanied the goods, and found the
purchaser, who invited him to inspect the
ship. The dealer went back to his store
perfectly satisfied. AS soon as the dealers
back was turned, the goods were placed on
a truck, taken to railroad, and sent to New
York; and the dealer found that he had been
swindled as the rascal had no connection at
all with the ship.
