hands with the deacons and other celebrities. 1t is
as free with the women rouge or prepared chalk,
and talks to young pgrls with the greatest freedom
and consequence. The missionary field is its espe.
cial care; all the neghbors are drummed up to come
'for 'ard,' and aid benevolent " obick.' Some of
the neighbors subscribe large sums and others throw
in small amounts-the large Contributors get their
names into the paper, while the small ones arc con.

AnecdOte eff Washington.

One Reuben Rouzy, of Virginia, owed the General
one thousand pounds. While President of the Uni

the money jud ynent obtained, and execution is

this kind of property cannot be sold in Virginia. un

proceeding, and that it would he well to send him "A
petition, with a statement OF the circumstances He
did so-and the very next post from Philadelphia,
after the arrival of his petition in that city, brought
Him order for his immediate release together with
full discharge, and severe reprmand to the agent
for having acted in such manner. Poor Rouzy was
consequently restored to his family, who never laid
down their heads at night without first presenting
prayers to Heaven s'for their beloved Washington .
Providence smiled upon the abors of the grateful
family, and IN few years Rouzy enjoyed the exauis-

Bonaparte.

We received q call not long since, from a
gentleman recently from Paris, who had for
ten years past been on intimate terms with the
Emperor Of France. The career Of that re-
markable man is more strange than any found
in the records of fiction. An unswerving de-
termination to accomplish his objects or die in
the attempt, has given him moral power that
has not yet been successfully resisted. He has
been prisoner at Ham an engineer in Swift
crland; special policeman in London; a
drunken loafer in New York; swell head and
gambler in Paris then Representative, Pres
ident, and Emperor. A board bill Of thirty
dollars in New York has been placed in the
hands Of an attorney to be sued. When among
the salons of Paris, drinking and gambling Of

A Greeting from Lake WinnebagO.

A paragraph elsewhere announces the arri-
val here of the Montcllo, a neat little river
steamer, from the city Of Oshkosh, on Lake
Winnebago, Wisconsin. We learn from her
officers, that she steamed her way from that
lake to within five miles of Portage City, To-
Gated on the canal joining the Fox and Wis
consin rivers, without trouble or delay. From
that point, till she reached the channel Of the
Wisconsin, the miserable condition of the
locks and canal, made the passage work Of
some difficulty. She came down the Wiscon-
sin without hindrance, and has arrived here in
good condition. The improvements on the up
per Fox and lower Wisconsin, have been bare
ly commenced, and the passage of good sized
boat through them in their present condition
is a fact worthy particular notice. An ener-
getc company has control Of the whole line,
and it will not be many years before We shall
see this route becoming great highway of
trade between the Atlantic cities and the up
per Mississippi valley. Within five years we
shall be able to take passage on elegant river
steam packets, running regularly from st. Paul
to Green Bay; and heavy goods will come by
this route, with only two transhipments be-
tween New York city and Minnesota. May
Providence and the Wisconsin Improvement
Company, hasten this consummation.

The Very Last of Walkers Expedition
Ills Surrender to the United states
TrOODS.


Among the passengers by the Somfhern1' which
arrived at San Francisco the 10th ult were Cap''
WM. WALKER, the redoubtable expedilionist, and
the few friends who through thick and thin have
clung 10 his fortunes. They were in the custody of
United States authorities. --
The closing scenes the expedition and arrest Of
the band, are thus narrated by the San Francisco
Commercial Advertiser:
With thrty-thre. men, the whole of his force, he
was on his march for San Diego, and had arrived
Near the boundary line the 7h INST, beng con,iu-
ally harrassed by considerable force Of mounted
Mexcans under Melendrez, who, however, had not
the courage make attack upon the commando
On the Stk, Walker advanced to within three miles
OF the boundary line, asd encamped hacienda
called ola Tiajuanna.' The Mexicans were ON the
surrounding hills. Major hicKinstry of the U. s.
Army went on, to see him, with a view Of arranging
matters, and shortly afterward despatched messen-
ger for Captain Benton, who wsts in command of the
US troops on the line. Capt Benton obtained
permission OF elpndrez to the line, and also
went to Walkers camp. By him Mclendrcz sent a
demand to surrender, granting them permission to
cross our territory if he and his men would deliver
UP their arms. TO this Walker paid no attention,
simply saving that the Mexican General could have
their arms "f he could take them" Things then
became very warlike and American officers informed
the Mexican General that they were not in the least
concerned In the matter, and + Ire wanted to fight,
they should not .uerere. being there merely Amer
ican citizens.
Walker then took up his line of march along the
main ro"d TO San Diego, and the Mexicans began to
manGuvre, hanging upon the fbuster line, until
within one mile of the boundary line, " hen the Mex
leans took post eminence directly opposite,
where a large number of spectators from San Diego
were posted to the fight, and made display as il
determined to prevent Walkers further progress
As tire latter neared the Mexicas, he ordered adj
vanced guard of nine men with rifles to charge upon
the enemy, which they did with cheer. The Mex
leans, wthnut firing shot, put spurs their horses
and galIoped away leaving Walker and his party to
pursue their way unmoested.
Arriving at the boundary, the party halted before
crossing, and Walker had parley with Major Nc
kinstry and Capt Benton, U. S. officers sent to ar.
rest his force.) The conference resulted in Walker
and ficnds surrenderins themselves on parole o.

Milking Bears.

The FTeemGn's Janal gives the following good
one:
friend Of ours, who has recently returned from
little Jant IN the country, happening 10 stay at the
house OF an old Methodist dcacon has handed the
following specimen of that pious geneman's
mentary passage in the Bible. As it is quite
equal to anything we have seen lately do not feel
disposed to keep it to ourselves. appears that for
many years past, the deacon had observed the Gus
tom OF reading daily chapter from the sacred scrip
lures to the family, and of making running extcni-
por,neous commentary such particular passages
as seemed to require elucda ton. Coming to taat
part of the Bible which SAYS, "Now these seven did
Milcha bear unto Nahor," he cleared his throat and
explained thus:
"The subject of this passage is to show Us how
bad Oft the people used to was in old times. Then
they hadn't no dairys but obleeged to milk bears
and it took SIX to hold tie bear while others MIXED
it, and they had to g, to Major to git the bears"
