A GLurroS.--An old stager, whose
name is familiar ~ household words ut
the Penitentiary, last evening went into
an eating house on the dock and called
for supper, fur which he agreed to pay 25
cents. A seat was provided for him at
the table, aud he set about deyouring all
he could lay hands on, which he accom-.
plish ID in the shortest possible period
After clearing the table, he became indig-
nant at the proprietor for not furnishing
him more food aud drink, and before leav-
ing he declined paying, on the ground
that his appetite and thirst were not sat
isfed. A policeman Was called, who ar
rested and took him TO the station house
where free" lodgings were provided for
him for the night This morning he was
brought before Justice Parsons, when he
gave his name as Edward Wilson, resi-.
dent Of Bethlehem. On the part of the
complainant it was proven that before
Wilson had been called upon to pay, he
had eaten and drunk four cups Of coffee,
and had received the fifth, when he be-
came indignant because more food WAS
not brought or, and threw il over the
table. Previous to this he had deyoured
a whole loaf Of bread, half a pound Of
butter, eight krullers, six Pigs feet, one
tongue aud dish Of cold slaw. lie did
not deny that he had eaten all he was
charged with, but simply commended that
be applied for supper, and not having OBJ
tanned all that he desired ne did not con-
slider that he was compelled to pay.--Al-
bcny Journal. a.,

and is described as follows Vignette, bee
hive; figure Of the Goddess of Liberty on
the right; eagle on the left, with scroll
suspended from its mouth, on which are
the words, "State Sovereignty--Natioual
Unon;" the figures 100 are on the upper

From NEBRAsKA.-We had the plea
sure Of greeting, on Saturday last, j. A.
Doyle, Esq, and Maj. w. r. Jones, who
have just returned from Nebraska. They
give favorable account of that Territory
its richness of soil, health and pros
poets. 1t is of vast extent, running west
from Iowa eighteen hundred miles, anu
Is eight hundred miles broad. Mai.
Jones, we learn, returns in few days
Mr.. Doyle will not return Immediately, if
at all. ~ -
The numerous friends of Messrs. f. w.
Ssymmes, Jr. and E. II. Doyle will be graft
fled to hear Of their good health and
prospects. They are engaged, at present,
in taking census of Nebraska, and lay
ing of the counties, so that an election
for members of the Territorial Legisla-
ture may be ordered.
An incident is related, as haying occur
red on his Exceilency's arrival at Beile-
vleu, which may not prove uanteresting
On his arrival, the scene presented was
gratifying and novel in a high degree. A
public reception was extended by the
whites, and it seems the Indians were
equally alive to the honor due their new
Chief. The Governor arrived after dark.
Thousands Of the red men had fioclSel in
to get view Of his Excellency---fres were
lighted as far as the eye could reach, and
the wellSn made tn -rina1with the savage
yeIls OF the native Americans. UisapI
pointment succeeded their JOY, when they
ascertained that lie was white man
their yells were hushed and their fires ex-
tinguished, and they filed of into the
trackless wastes of the Queen of the
Prairies," there to brood over their sad
destiny.
The Indians are represented as peace
able and friendly; and, as no fire water"
is allowedin the Territory, these kindly
relations may possibly conlinue.-Pickens
