Ludicrous Mischief.

The following "droll incident is rela
ted in the Knicker6oker Magazine, as hav-
ing occurred to ladyof high respectable
ity in Brooklyn:
The lady has a charming little boy.
very observing, initiative and active. The
child had noticed the postman constantly
leaving letters and moving off quick; and
he thought it would be a very nice thing
to become a postman. So he one day
went to his mammals escrutoire, and took
out some twenty five or thirty letters, tied
them up and sailed forth, leaving one at
every house, and moving off quick. The
lady was rather surprised when her next
peighbor broughther an open letter, which
she said some body had left at her door;
but what was her astonishment, when
visiting hour arrived, for another and an
other, and still an another lady coming in,
all bringing open letters, until her ample
parlor was completely crammed. You
need not doubt the mirth and fun grew
fast and furious, as each lady entered with
the same tale, and the little postman was
elated beyond measure to find what cap
ital postman he was; but the best of the
fun was that every lady, one and all, as
serted she had not unfolded or read one
word, oh, no, not they, ladies are far,
far above prying into other ladies' letters.
The fair lady to whom the letters were
addressed, is fortunately the mother of a
large and lovely family, and the letters
were from early friend, schoolmates, &c.

Town and Country.

The elements4nesar-si r-sinds--local'
tiles shape our souls. Tie great wide sea
makes the great-hearted sailor--the free
mountaineer. Inthe straight-streetedt town
we grow pretty, and prim, and precise
in the wide open country we grow neg
lectful Of appearances. The town is
stage, and the constant presenence of
spectators tempt us in all things to become
actors. We walk, dress, talk, stand, and
sit, in stage style-the country is retreat
where both body and soul go slip shod.-
This is pleasure and blessing of life in
the country. When there is no eye upon
us that can be pleased by attitude or
charmed By vest or drapery, it is pleas
ant relief to fall back into the natural pos
ture and unbind arctic zone of fashion
while the remembrance that there is still
an eye upon us, yet an eye beneath which
we lnstlnctively shudder at the thought of
dramatizing-this makes US sincern and
honest-our weakness, our blemishes.
our deformities we no longer conceal from
ourselves in seeking to hide them from
Others. s.--INorgan Journal.

Items from Dispatches.

The Herald's Washington correspon-

Squadron, had an interview on the 21st

His refusal recently, to salute the Spanish
flag at Havana, has met, it is said, the
approval of the President and Secretary.
The government has ordered the Com
modore to remain readiness till the reply
is received from Spain, relative to the
Black Warrior affair.

The Gadsden Treaty.

The special correspondent of the New
York Herald denies that the Gadsden
Treaty was defeated by sectional feeling
and votes. Gen. Gadsden, in a speech in
the Southern Convention at Charleston.
having said that he had made the treaty
to secure a Southern railroad to the Paci-
fic, and that if it were killed, it would be
IN consequence of the efforts of Northern
Senators, the Herald correspondent re.
plies that such influence did not defeat the
treaty--that more opposition was shown
to 1t on the part of the South than the
North, and that even Judge Butler, of s.
carolina, Senator from General Gads-
den's own State, voted to reject the treaty.

CoaE TO THE REsEcUE.--Itis more than
we expected, that man would stop his
county paper, because he was about to re-
tire from political life. Will some other
gentleman come to the RESCUE and sub
scribe to fill the vacancy. Weare not par
ticular as to your politics, or whether you
have any at all, SO you come up and SUBJ
scribe for the Pioneer. We are sure but
little has been said about politics lately in
our paper. Rich men, however, should
save their dimes and read some other per-
son's papers.

OFFICERS, DO Your DUTY.-We were
well pleased to see Constable Bowsher
performing in his official capacity last
Sunday. If the officers would be little
more active in their duty, great deal bet
ter order and less drunkenness would ex-
ist in our town. The persons who were
taken to Jail last Sunday will hardly give
our officers cause to take them back soon
again. Then let us have little more ac-
tivity on the part of the officers, and peace
and good order will be seen in our streets
NIL the time.

Our Railroad and Merchants.

Within few weeks we have heard
some of our merchants complaining bitterly
about the management and transportation
Of their goods from Crestline to this place.
They have been charging that the officers
on the Ohio & Indiana Railroad have been
derelict in the performance of their duty.
How this matter may stand, we are unable
to say, but we have always looked upon
Mr.. SuANKLIN, who we believe has charge
OF the transportation, as gentleman and
efficient officer. There may be more cause
for the detention of the goods here spoken
of than our merchants are aware Of At
all events, the delay of these goods could
add nothing to Mr. S. or any other Off
GERS pocket on the road, that we can see;
therefore, we are bound to believe that
there was cause for the delay.
The merchants here complain, saying
that their goods arrived at Crestline on
one evening and were left over the next
day; the day following the goods were
brought to Bucyrus and were again left
until the next day, thereby being three or
four days in coming to Upper sandusky,
a distance of thirtytwo miles. The time
for the arrival of goods by railroad in SO
short distance was entirely too long for
usual running, but as We before stated,
there are causes for the delay about which
we know nothing, and in consequence of
which circumstances, we cannot condemn
the officers of the road. the officers
are solely to blame in this case, then they
should receive the proper rebuke. We
would not attempt to shield an officer of
any railroad from the hand of justice,
neither can we sentence any one until he
sproven guilty.

ProDerty Holders.

It a fact that some Of the owners Of
property in this town should sell out, or
get new spirit Of improvement in them,
to keep pace with the there's OF our citi-
xens. The class that we are speaking of
have always opposed every thing like a
spirit OF Improvement. They will not i'm
prove their property, neither will they let
others have the property at rates that
would allow improvement. e
These same individuals are old fogies
in every sense of the term. They would
not even have newspaper printed in Up
per Sandusky had they the control Of ev-
erything. No, this part we know beyond
adoubt. Some Of these men have lived
in this town ever since the publication o!
the first paper. and up to the present time
have never been known to subscribe for it.
They may give excuses and what they
suppose to be reasons for their course; -
but they should remember that actions
spesk louder than words, and that sensi-
Die nen are MOTTO be gulled.
1t is to be hoped that things may ere
long change, and that the property in the
possession of these old fogies will pass in
to other hands, and those portions of our
town will then improve with the other
parts of it. This is to be much desired,
and then who could say aught against Up
per Sandusky?
Now, let us have more of the Young
America spirit, energy and liberality, and
we can expect to see things progress much
faster than at present, The paper Of
your town would be in better condi-
ton than it is at present, Indeed, our
town would be another guess town than
tits. If we could say anything to change
some of the old fogies into young Ameri-
cans, and cause them 10 progress with the
present age. we would do so, but this, we
fear, is out Of our power, and SO long as
it is so, one portion of our town must be
Tar ahead of the other portion.

FACTS AND CoNcLUs1oNs.-Ther are in
the United States 3,2O4,077 slaves; while
there is in the Slave States a white
population of 6,222,428; being about
half slave to each white man, if they
were equally divided. But there are on
ly $4,000 whites who hold slaves
Hence the chances are with emigration
from the South, that the Shareholders
would far out number the slaveholders.-
The danger of slavery in Nebraska and
Kansas is not SO great as in New Mexico
and Utah, or California; for these were
further south than Kansas or Nebraska.
Common sense applied to facts is a great
disideratum..in in these times of rampant abo-
litionism.- Statesman.

spirit of anti-rentism" in New York has
not yet completely died out. The Troy
Budget says that party of men, disguised
as Indians, entered the residence of a
Deputy Sheriff in Nassau village on the
9th inst, about the time Mr.. w. was un-
dressing to retire to bed, and forced him
to deliver up certain papers in his posses
sion. AS Mr.. W. was not prepared for
the attack, and the sIndians" seemed de-
termined on securing the papers or ma
king great deal of trouble, the "docu
ments'' were handed over, and the party
left peaceably.

In JAIL.--A German was taken up
for stealing some bedding the other day,
and on failure to give bonds for $500, was
put to Jail to await his trial. His excuse
for stealing the articles is, that the man
from whom he stole, owed him and he
couldn't get his pay any other way. Since
he has been put in prison, quite number
OF stolen articles were found at his resi-
dence. Mr.. Warner of Bucyrus lost sew
eral sets of harness, and come over here
last Monday and found two or three har-
ness, some table spreads, sheets and 9TH
er articles. The prisoner says, every
thing was left with him on pledge for
debts. If things go right, he will likely
get free ride to Columbus.

Terrible Shipwreck.

A letter from Long Beach, on the 18th
gives distressing particulars of the terri
BILE shipwreck of the Poa0hattan.
"She came ashore on Sunday morning
about one o'clock, during one of the most
violent storms ever experienced on the
coast. She was laden with emigrants, I
should think about two hundred, and out
of the whole number of passengers and
crew there was not soul saved. 1t was
impossible to save any one, on account of
the weather
A dispatch received in Philadelphia, on
Wednesday evening, from Absecom, says:
The number of dead bodies that have
foated ashore is now increased to one
hundred and twenty, consisting of men,
women and children Included in this
number are many found upon Brigantine
Beach, which is divided from the main
land by channel about quarter Of a
mile in width. .. saa....
Miraculous EscApE.-We have had a
brief account of the great peril of the I'm
der'criter, lalge emigrant ship, with $40
souls on board, that was driven ashore
near Barnegat. The New York Times
says: a.I I
Among the sufferers the great majority
were females, whose cries for water, whose
meanings and appeals for help, were
heart-rending. But all this was nothing
when compared with what transpired
when the vessel struck. Those who were
out of their berths ran about wildly, some
striving to reach the deck and grasping al
anything which they imagined would aid
them in the water Those who were in
their berths, although before she struck
they could not have been induced te
move to help themselves, now sprung
from their beds, almost naked, shrieking
tearing their hair, and calling franticaly
for those most dear to them.
After enduring hardships and dangcr'
of the most terrible character, and giving
all for lost, they escaped in the mos
providential manner. .s

officers will soon commence doing as the

about having the laws of our State as
enacted by the last Legislature published
and then we can tell what has been going

people of the amount of labor performed
by their servants, as well as give them the
advantage of knowing something of the
laws of the State.
