The FiOgging OF a Prince.

The London correspondent of North
German paper relates story with regard 10
the way in which Prince Albert disciplines
his children, which The Tribune translates
as follows:
"The young prince stood one day in his
room in the royal palace al Windsor, at the
window, whose panes reached 10 the floor.

into the garden and playing with his fingers

this, and kindly asked him 10 think Of get

came al once, and heard the statement OF
the whole matter, after which he turned TO
his little son and said, pointing TO an otto

Then Prince Albert went 10 his room and

Gov. Woods AppOintmemt-Pi
NHagnanimity.

We learn that Gov. Wood declines the
Consulate to Valparaiso. 1t was probably
not intended by Pierce that anything should
be offered TO Gov. Wood which he could
accept.
This matter brings TO view o piece OF
meanness so utterly base that every Ameri-
can citizen must blush TO see it fastened
upon the President of the United States.
The following facts will not be disputed :
At one time during the session Of the late
Locofoco Baltimore Convention, Gov. w ood
was q very prominent candidate for the
Presidential nomination. 1t will be remem-
bered that, in that Convention, forty.nine
ballots were had before the Convention sue
ceeded in making nomination. After the
forty eighth ballot had been taken, and be.
fore the Convention had proceeded to The
iory.ninth, the Virginia delegation waited
upon the Ohio delegation, aud proposed that
The two States join in unanimous vote on
the next ballot for Reuben Wood, OF Ohio
The reasons urged were, that he had shown
himself man Of unbounded popularity
lie had just been elected Governor Of Ohio
over Samuel F. Vinton, by 10000 majority
Besides, there was no dangerous perspicuily
in his history. These were The two points

ANEcDoTE OF THE PREMlER.-The hard
pressure for appointments TO office under the
new administration at Washington gives lise
to some amusing incidents. The following
is told US of the Secretary OF State;
"Among the host Of besiegers in the pur-
suit Of place, was a woman who was ex-
II emely anxious that her husband should be
made postmaster in some country village.
She was most persevering in her solicIa'
tons, in season and out Of season. She
stood at the Secrelary's door, when he came
out of his room in the morning; she inter-
copied him on his way TO his meals; she
followed him to his lodgings at night. On
one occasion she remained thore unusually
late the Governor listened TO her as long
as he could, when he requested her TO ex,
cuse him, but she fingered. AT length every
gentleman but one had gone, and the Secre'
tary took off his shoes. Sill she stood her
ground quite nnmoved. Growing desperate,
the Secretary finally rose from his seat, and
proceeded 10 strip off his coat; then turning
TO The woman, he exclaimed 8 Madam,
am going 10 bed, and il you don't withdraw
shall write TO Mrs. Marcy about you.
The lady Immediately retired from the

POMEROY TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1853.

Hoes AND WHIsKy--The largest dislil.
ery in the United States is at New Rich.
mond, Ohio, on the river, about 90 miles
above Cincinnati. There are two distilleries
in the town. AT thellarger there are now
made 1876 barrels ofKhisky per day, a. the
other 80-hal is, New Richmond furnishes
the world 2O5 barrelsEof whisky every day,
or about 10000 barrels per annum. In the
larger dislillery there lure now 5000 hogs /;
in the other 1000. These hogs are changed
three times a year; which makes $4,000
from one, and 2l,0Q0 from the other, or
$4,000 hogs from NawIRichmond annually.
AT certain seasons oihe year, from the
character Of their (opdpflrom other causes,
epidemics prevail 6nshg Ahe hoes, gLasl

years about 10000 hogsth have died al The
two dislleres. The hogs are npta dead

which this "saving process" goes on,
amounted in the last six months 10 over
$4,000. Last year 460 barrels Of lard were
made from the hogslh That died in the pens.
In The lager disti i4efy there are now in

a spot as inviting iogfeat rats as ever was

land, and Chairman of the Ohio delegation,
replied as follows:
1st. That the Ohio delegation would, for
the lime being, adhere 10 Gen. Cass as its
first choice.
Cd. That so soon as the delegation should
SEQ that the nomination Of Con. Cass was
impossible, il would turn its vote upon Sle-
phen A. douglas.
A proper understanding Of the case re-
qures us to state here, that Gen. Wilson
was, throughout, the friend of Douglas, and
that his voting for Cass in the first instance
was mere ruse. Gen. Wilson's mOtire in
the premises is well understood, but not ma.
terial now 10 our narrative. But II is un-
quesiionably true tina, had he thrown his
influence in favor Of Gov. Wood, the Ohio
delegation would have unanimously ac-
copied the proposition Of Virginia. Had
,his occurred, who can doubt lha, Reuben
Wood would now be Presiden, of the United
States
The Virginia delegation Immediately re-
Tired, and had all interview with the New
Hampshire delegation, making q similar
proposition 10 them for union on Gen.
Pierce. New Hampshire accepted, and
Pierce was unanimously nominated on the
very next ballot
On so delicate point as this, as is now
clear to every body, did The office Of Pres-
dent of the United States vibralo between
Franklin Pierce and Reuben Wood.
Now all these facts were known 10 none
better than TO Gen. Pierce. If we are cor
reciIy informed the " hole matter was qui-

But Gen. Pierce takes possession of the
Executive Government, and Gov. Wood s

it not appear strange to every liberal mind
Of whatsoever party, that the least urgency
should have been deemed necessary under
the circumstances Independent Of the
facts adyerled to, Gov Wood is one Of the
