WALKING AGAINST TIME.-The Peaceable in
habitants Of our peaceable town were thrown into
commotion, on last Thursday, by the arrival Of
Mr.. Wm. Singer, who had undertaken on va
ger, to walk from jefferson to Ebensbnrg dis
tance of nine mile in one hour and quorter. lie
came into town making very " good time" fol-
lowed bv a coach and four, il which were sea
ted the Judges OF course his arrival was a sig
nal for a stir, and old and young, grave and gay,
male and female, hocked 10 the &c outcome . {AIr
Myers sign post, to learn the result. He had
failed. Nothing wonderful in that, certainly
Any other might have done the same thing
but for this pedestrian, who had walked upwards
Of eighty miles in one day, to fail in anything
like travelling iras wonderful, and his failure was
universally regretted. lie had made tie distance
in one hour and thirty five minutes, and we ven
ture the assertion that no man in the State can
walk it in less, ifin the same time.
GANE.-The impression is abroad that the
mountain in this vicinity abounds with Game Of
all kinds. Now, we are no modern Nimrod,
consequently we knew nothing about it. person

A WIFE WANTED.

Ye fair ones attend, Pve offer to make you
In hymens soft bonds am anxious to live.
For better, for worse, a companion I'll take you,
Provided you'll fill the scription give.
neither expect nor can hope for perfection,
For that never yet bachelors lot.
But in choosing wife, I'd make a selection
Whieh many in my situation would not.
I'd have, let me see-rd not have beauty,
For beautiful women are apt to be vain;
Yet with q small share, I would think it a duty,
To take her, be thankful, and never complain.
Her form must be good. without art to eonsrain it.
And rather above than below middle size.
A something it puzzles my brain to explain it,
Like eloquent language must flow from her eyes.
She must be well bred, or cannot respect her,
Good natured and modest, but not very coy;
Her mind well inform'd-'tis the principal nectar
That sweetens The cup of hymeneal joy.
Have practical knowledge of household affairs,
And make it a part of her highest enjoyment
To soften my troubles and tighten my cares.
Her age would have it at least to be twenty,
But not to exceed twenty five at the most;
And the girls of that age being everywhere plenty,
hope to get one Of that numerous host
Not fortune I ask-I have no predictions
For glitter, show, or the pomp of high life;
wish to be bound by the cares of affection.
Aud now 1 have drawn you the sketch of wife.
