resided in Bordentown, in the State of New
Jersey, he was one day passing the resi-
dence of DR.. Staughton, when the latter
was sitting at the door. Paine stopped,
and after some remarks of a general cha

pity it is that a man has not some COM

WESTERN Mus1C.-We learn from a
Western paper that Western chap who
went to New York to purchase goods,
&c, was invited to one of those fashion
able parties so common in large cities.
He was clearly western original-but
said very little. until he found that the
party was not to close without an attempt
to corner him. At length, bevy of
laughing girls, by the crest accident in
the world, found themselves CROPPED about
said western green one, in most ami
mated discourse upon music, and city
playing. When all this had progressed

100 Travelling Agents Wanted.
The Publisher of the Virginia Law Reporter
wishes to engage the services of 100 efficient ira
yelling agents, to whom fifty per cent. will be gil
ven-(one or more to canvass every county in
theAState,) to solicit subscriptions to this cheap
and useful work.
This per centage ought to be sufficient induce
ment to engage the services of hundreds who are
not making that amount at their present occupa-
ton We think they would not lose any thing
in making a trial effort, even if they partially
failed, for they will then be conscious of having
been some extra benefit to their neighbors and
fellow citizens. The price of this work is redu-
ced below all caviI-and is published monthly at
81 90 per anuum. Persons DESTROYS of accnmu-
lating ga few hundred" within short time, can
not, we think, succeed better, even as well, in
any experiment as the the offer here proposed
to the enterprising citizen. Get ready, then, for
the rural visit, and make your excursions imme-
diately. Recolect that there are still hundred
thousand citizens in the State who have not sent
for this work; and He would like to supply each
one of them with copy. Remember that we are
prepared to furnish all new subscribers with The

to fill any of the offices of honor or profit from

act as general deputy to the legal profession,
