LkG STRETcHING.--Mrs. Nicholas, late
Of the Brattleborough VERMONT Democrat,
says that "the drinks" are now called "leg-
stretchers" in that State. She says it is
an everyday occurrence for some passen-
gers in the stage coaches, while the latter
are waiting at the hotels for the mails, to
say al guess will get out and stretch my
legs" which always ends in their having q
drink somewhere in the hotel. She adds
that it is perfectly astonishing with what
unchecked case and frequency legs are
now stretched in Vermont.

DWhen the elephant went up the lake
on the steamer Lady Elgin, a few days
since, we remarked that the huge traveller
might be a somewhat ugly customer on
board a boat. Ii appears that OH the pas

Guilty in changing the boats course; for
tug and pull and bear on as much as he
would the wheel would not bulge an
inch.
"Port helm !" cried the captain. "Aye,
aye, sir" responded the wheelsman.
But still the helm was hard starboard,
and the boat was taking turn into the mid
die of the lake. The captain swore, and
the mate made for the wheel-house-
Pushing the man aside, he took hold him

you see where the boat is going 2" shouted
out the captain.
The mate declared that something was
the matter with the wheel, as he could not
stir it. The thing was perfectly inexplica-
bic. The engine was stopped, and master,
mate, and all hands went below to see what
could be the matter. After search Of
some minutes il was discovered that Mr..
Siam, the elephant" of the menageric, not
liking the noisy rafting of chains overhead,
had taken upon himself the responsibility Of

A correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune relates sad story of suffering, des-
titution and wrong. inflicted upon deserv-
ing American family, by the wanton cruel
ties perpetrated by the Cyane, at Greytown.
He writes from the steamer Star of the
West, as follows:
1t was painful to witness the suffering
occasioned by this bombardment and burn
ing. One case came under our notice of
most distressing character. Among the
American residents was boatman by the
name Of Clark-a soldier and wounded at
the battle of Buena Vista-who, with his
wife, had been some time at Greytown, and
acquired buildings and property worth
probably $4,000. Mrs. Clark had been i'll
of the fever of the country, and from the
exposure and privations during the attack,
and the burning of her dwelling over her
head, a stroke Of paralysis was induced
which rendered her utterly helpless-and
thus for two weeks had she been, in un-
speakable agony, without medical attend
ance, or comforts Of any kind. Her cries
could be heard for considerable distance
from the temporary hovel hastily set up to
shelter her from the sun and rain. 1t was
indeed piteous case to see tho tears
course down the cheeks of this bereaved
man, and hear his reproaches upon the gov
ernmeRt which destroyed his property, in
requital for his blood shed in the battles of
his country. Surely there is wrong to be
rudressed.

Mas. MAcREADY's READISGs.-We
would call the attention of our readers to the
high intellectual treat, (tho programme Of
which is in another column) to be given this
evening at the Ocean House Hall by Mrs.
Macready thelady who on entering the dra-
matte profession created such sensation
about year since. The New York Spirit
ofthc Times, July 22d thus speaks of her
"This popular actress and accomplished
lady devoted one evening this week to read
ings from Shakespeare and several of the
modern poets. Her performance gave the
highest satisfaction to the intelligent and
enthusiastic audience assembled on the oc-
casion. She exhibited The same admirable
power of expression which has given her
such marked success on the stage. With
her finished education and native poetical
tastes, she has rare advantages for effective
dramatic reading, which we understand she
will devote herself TO during the remainder
of the summer.
Mrs. Macrendy has received her clemen-
tary education in the Academy at George
town, ID. c., and afterwards graduated at
the Wesleyan Female College, Delaware.
She manifested from her earliest childhood
a most marked prediction and enthusias-
tic love for the stage, which grep xith her
years, and strengthened with the obstacles
she was obliged to encounter. When not
quite sirteen, she was married to DR.. Mac
ready, Of Philadelphia, and removed at once
to that city, where she became the bright,
particular star Of large and select circle
of the wealthy, educated, and refined ofthat
aristocratic city.
Notwithstanding the luxury with which
she was surrounded, and all the prejudices
of education and association, this whole ab-
sorbing passion kept full possession of her
heart, and, as she says, gave her no peace
night or day. Events at last having made
her mistress of her own destiny, she enter
ed at once upon the arduous course of stu
dy and training necessary to secure success
in the profession she had determined to
adopt. Her friends so far cannot regret
the step she has taken, for her dramatic
career has been, brilliant in the extreme.
