at you, and comes up again, but awful
skittish, stretches its neck out ever SO
far, steals few grains, and then keeps
n respectful distance. Now what do you

STEAMER CINcIENATI SUNK.-We

on the morning of the 19th inst, the
steamer Cincinnati struck snag at
Willard's Landing, in the Mississippi
river, and sunk in nine feet water. No
lives were lost, and It's thought she can
be raised. The Cincinnati had been
running about three years and half,
and was owned in Pittsburgh. She
formerly run in the Pittsburgh and Gin

solidation of the Wheeling and Pitts
burgh lines, by an arrangement made
between the stockholders, she went be-
low the falls, and was running as reg
ular Louisville and st. Louis Packet, in
connection with the Louisville and Pitts
burgh line, when the accident befel her.

$4,000. Her cargo was insured in St.

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-We
last week laid the Presidents annual
message before our readers, and leave
it with them to judge of its merit. For
ourself we think it rather a tame and
commonplace document. not even writ
ten in the ambitious and swelling style
of his inaugural address. Its tone is
very feeble and indecisive. There is
nothing Jaeksonian about it. We have
but little doubt that it will prove dam
per to President Pierce's warmest and
most devoted admirers.

OUR HUET.-We took stroll into
the Virginia hills, week before last, deer
hunting, and as it was dear hunt we
shall say but little about it. We were
out four days, travelling up and down
ridges, none of them very small and
but few lOsO gaps, during which time
we saw three deer and had one running
shot We were lost half our time, and
hungry all the time we were in the Vir-
.ginia hills. 1t is the best place to bring
an appetite on we know of, and unless
you take provender with you,- your
appetite is likely to stick to you, for
there is nothing in the woods to be had
that man or beast can subsist on. Camp
ing out is glorious-four nights in the
Virginia hills will convince any man
that it is glorious sport-one side roast
ing and the other freezing, occasionally
picking off a tick about the size and col
or of a faxseed, is glorious sport, and
no mistake. We felt like a young Boone
the first night after striking our camp
fire, and.one of our companions asserted
that he positively heard an old buck
whistle. He may have been correct,
but in the morning we could find no
signs within a quarter Of mile of camp.
The second night our Boone feelings
seft us, but we said nothing to our COM
panions. The third night capped the
climax-we had all gone over with a
view of shaking off touch of dyspep-
sy-net to kill deer, of course-and as
that was effected we would return, bet
Nter and piser. We travelled that day
from branch of the Ohio Sixteen to
the head of the Kanawaa Three Mile,
when night being about to overtake us,
xe pitched our tent, and after passing
another night, our companions bid fare
well to the Virginia hills from that time
forward. But not so with us-printers,
you know, liVe high, and are very liable
to the dyspepsy, and when we have an
other touch of it we shall bid farewell
to the doctors and HE to the Virgins
hills. for it is the best medicine man
can take.

some good time, particularly after he
