i" 1t appears that towards The close of the
revolution, the good pe"pl e of the North
Church found it necessary to make some
repairs. They sent on To Boston and pur.
chased some nails, which in due course OF
time arrived, and upon opening the kegs, 10
aud behold, one OF them was found to con.
tain Spanish dollars. "Th,s was a 20 !"-
The deacons assembled held consuta.

Boston aud informed the merchant who
made the sale that there was an error in
shipping the goods The merchant, acting
upon the principle Of our banks IA, the pres

THE DOG DAYS.

Heaven help US all in these terrific days
The burning sun upon fe earth Is peiu"s
With his oirectess, fercast, hottest rays
And everything is melting
IN, men. infatuate, fan the stagnant air,
In rash essay to cool their inward glowing
While with each strike, in dolorous despair
They feel the fever growing
The lean an athy find fate as hard,
For, all a-dry, they burn like any finder
Beneath the solar blaze, till withered, charred
And crisped away to cinder
Zen stoics now are 10 the melting mood,
And vestal cheeks are most upseemly ford,
The very zone that sirts the frgid prude.
Ia now intensely torrid
The dogs lie lorg in the deepest shade,
The pigs are all a.wullow in the cutters,
And not a household oreaturc-cat VI maid,
But ENORMOUSLY mutters!
a'Tis dreadful, dreadful hot!" exclams each one
Unto his swea ing, swelteriag, roasting neighbor
Then mops his brow, and signs, as he had done
A quite HercueaD labor
And friends who pass each other in the town,
Say no good morn,ws when they come together,
But only mutter, with dismal frown,
What horrd, horrid wealherP'
While prudent mortaIs eurD with strctest care
All vagrant ours, it SEEM the queerest puzzle
The dog star rages, rabid, through the air,
Without the slightest Ruzzle!
But Jove is wise and equal in his sway,
Huweer 1t seems 10 clash with human reasen,
Ills fiery dogs will soon have lad their day,
And man shall have a season

Collision aga inst the New Administration.

The New Hampshire Patriot. the organ of
Gen. Pierce, in n. II. speaks of "a trick set on
foot by certain cunning Wings of that State, and
aided by few half hearted Democrats, to en-
barrass the administration of Gen. Pierce and
the Democratic party. The Patriot thus treats
the subject
''CoIusion.-We learn that the Federal and
Abolition managers in this State with the aid
of their representatives at Washington, are prac
tsing a game with respect to the Post Offices in
this state, by which they expect to make trouble
in ranks and to retain portion of the pol
itical benefits arising from the posse ssiOn of
those places The game is this :-The Wing or
Abolition Post master is Induced to resign pri
vately, and to recommend the appointment OF
nominal Democrat, such a they know
would not be the choice of the Democrats Of the
place for the office. This Recommendation.
backed by n few who IN The secret, is sent
to Tuck or Hale. and on their representation
the appointment is made. This is done in the
expectation that the '.fishy' Democrats thus ap
pointed will not he removed by the new admin
i.tration, and for the purpose of making diff
Guilty among Democrats in regard 10 the Office
in question. These men are well aware that
persons thus appointed by collusions with them
will incur the opposition of great majority ot
the Democrats. who are thus deprived of an OPP
portunity of having their views and wishes con
suited in relation 10 the matter; and that quar-
rels and divisions among our friends Will GER
talnly result thereirom. which VIII weaken the
Democracy and afford aid and comfort to the en-
emy.
Now. we advise Democrats not 10 become
parties to any such collusions. True and sound
men will not do so; and we venture tn say that
no such 'base bargains" will be sanctioned by
the new administration. We do not believe that
any man who thus secures Office will be al
lowed to hold ii. We do not believe the friends
of the present administration will thus be allow

The bids for the work on this road the Pitts

miles, were precisely the same in price. Tile
bids (three in number,) by heavy companies for
the achole line, amounting to over three and I,
half millions, did not vary fifteen thousand dol
lars The two lowest bidders were ID Leech &
Co., Samuel Jones and James Fenlon,) and Jo-
seph Chamberlain Bro, of Ohio to whom the
contract has been awarded, with an understan-
ding that New York Company, the third bid
ders, be associated with them The company
will organize in n few days, and sublet n portion
of the road. The entire stock of the road is now
taken, and the stock book closed, the company
having no more to offer. The contract awarded
is for the building of the road entire with the
exception of finding the rails, chairs and spikes
