state of widowhood two or three years when
he became acquainted with buxum and
spicy damsel who was domestic in one
ofthe first families in the town. A match
was soon bargained for by the worthy cOu-
pie and DR.. p, in whose house the damsel
was employed proposed to make grand
party, invited house full ofcompany "and
put the wedding through" in good style
The Rev Mr. Longhead and his intended
were of course pl a'ed with his arrangement
which was to give so mush eClat to their
nuptials. Esquire Trimbull, Justice Of the
peace was invited to tie the fatal knot, and,
as he had the spice ofwaggery in his COM
position he determin ID to make the ceremo.
ny as imposing as possible.
The company consisted Of all the friends
and relations Of the family IN the borough,
and when the couple stood up to receive
their sentence Mr.. T., who is gifted with
an unequal command of language common
ced long harangue to the parties upon the
nature of the contract upon which they
were about to enter. The company preser-
we'd their gravity indiffersntly well for about
half an hour but the dusky couple COM
menced to wax FESTIVE. They were dres-
sed up within an inch Of their lives and
the sweat poured from their faces in tor.

Atlength Cuffy's Impotence burst forth
and overwhelmed the gravity Of the justice
and the audience as he reared out, Mas.

The ceremony was quickly finished after
this outburst--and tradition saith that more
champagne was uncorked on that occasion
than at any wedding in the town before or
since.

IT, the Editor Of The n. Y Tribune:
SIR: knowing you to be true friend to the poor and
oppressed no matter of what nation, wish you would

of the public to the operations of : Elliott who is

Road with the Cincinnati Columbus and Cleveland |
sneak from the book Scarcely day passes but from
to FIVE and sometimes more, poor people, who going

him for BIC TO Chicago via steamboat from Cleveland
To Detroit and thence BY Central Michigan Road and
although our harbor is closed and boats have for
over month the tickets still sold, being uttered by
pen and ink read via Railroad but provision
rangements made for them by the only Railroad route
there is from Cleveland. write this not agent Of the
Company but a citizen of free America which stretches
forth its hands the needy Of all the earth and
who having opportunity of knowing las, since the
close of Lake navigation must have had left here some
forty more mostly without money! heartily tired and
sick Of this system of swindling poor emgrants II
not be- in your opinion policy to take notice of the matter
and may be intruding your time and business, but
knowing q of the old Granite State, of which
also proud to be citizen thought would take the
liberty of addressing this TO you aud my feelings for the
poor must be my apology. Yours, with respect
