DEAR CoMEr-Do you ever read a
very considerable newspaper, published
in your great city, called the ''Gazette!"
But why ask the question--how else
could you make up your spirit Of the
morning journals 2" Look into the
last paper, and see how some fool
who signs himself "Erebus" abuses
you. THE editor Of that paper (who
ever he is, and this discovery has yet
to be made) must have very trans
parent intellect to admit such docu-
ment, to pass through his editorial
grist-mill. The logic Of the author is
based upon the fact that if Powers
combines in himself business habits
with temperance enough to make AN
upright Constable, OF course the infer
ence is, that his opponents donot; and
upon this miserable flimsyfamsy-
wishy-washy strut, the writer spins
out half column, of interesting mat.
ter for the organ Of the igparty-
the Gazette-the ancient newspaper
that has had ninety-nine editors, but
none Of themto be compared with the
present. know very well that such
stuff does not disturb yomr nerves,
but it makes your friends feel funny.
About "Charley's 1905" if you have
really got any let me know, and ! will
come around and bring and
--, and we will test the quality
oft, with the slightest regard to what
the people of this superfuously moral
community has to say about it.
As to myself, # hohd the worlds
opinion at as little worth, as it
holds mine-this l know to be your
own politics. To despatch the subject
matter of this epistle, | would advise
Erebus in all kindness to 60 black his
face, his cacocthes scribendi, which
is a vulgar expressing for the itch, will
never throw much light into darkness.
Your advice to "Syntha DEAR" would
be the best he can follow, if his desire
is3to become immortal. To be classic,
allow me to sign myself MOMUS.

SINGULAR ARREST FOR SHOOTING.
About a week since Phillip Schmidt
was dangerously wounded by shot
through the thigh by pistol in the
hands of Ferdinand Weighner, while
on board a steamboat coming down the
river, near Baton Rouge. Weigbner
fled al one of the landings, to escape
being arrested. When the steam
boat arrived in this city, Schmidt, the
wounded man, was sent to the Charity
Hospital, where he is at the present
time. Weigner also arrived in this
city day or two since, and having
accidentally received an injury, he
applied and was also received into the
Charity Hospital The two men thus
met again face to face, Weigner was
recognized, the police were sent for
and Weigner is now in Jail awaiting
an examination for the shooting. Pic

SOCIETY IN AUsTRALA.-A private letter in
the Hartford Coura,,t, dated Melbourne, Nov
18th, gives the following account of society in
that country Of gold - .
al have now been in the city week. The
state of society here is fearful. Horse stealing,
burglary, and almost every other crime, is daily
committed. Murders are very frequent. and it
is almost considered an interposition of Divine
Providence for man alone to travel to the
mines without meeting bush-rangers, who will
rob him If he has anything, and if not they will
wreak their vengeance on him by shooting him
through the arms or legs. There is not a pa
per published in the colony but contains a hun
dred advertisements offering from ten to a hun
dred pounds for depredators who have commit
ted these crimes. Their jails are filled to the
brim with prisoners, and some who are in for
short time, are let loose to make room for
others of greater viliainy. Snch state of
things often makes me sigh for those social,
civil and religious enjoyments, which are no.
where to be enjoyed to the same extent as in
our own favored land
SLEIGHING on A RAILROAD TRAcK.-That was
not the shrewdest Yankee. who few days since
at Milan, New Hampshire, drove an OK team
and sled, loaded with wood, upon the track of
the Railroad, because it was so smooth and so
easy for his animals. He drove along for some
distance, the sled fitting in between the rails to
a TIP but directly he heard the train; and then
again he saw it, booming and snorting and
bearing down on Buck and Berry, like mon
ster man-ofwar upon the slight canoe of South
Sea Islander. Yankee tried to gee-and then
he tried to ha,c. but the iron ribs held him fast
to the track. The point OF the cow-catcher pas
sing between and under the oxen, the yoke was
instantly broken into splinters, and the wood
was scattered in all the regions round about
and on passed the train as if nothing had hap
pened. All the poor man could do was to gath
err up the fragments, and turn neck-broken OK
en- into beef, but he muttercd very hard against
