JUDGE CHAMBERLAIK.-We expressed
our surprise at not seeing the vote OF
this gentleman in the negative on the
passage of the law permitting slavery in
to Kansas and Nebraska. The follow
ing remarks Of Mr.. MILLER, in Congress.
will give the reason Of his absence:
Mr.. Miller Of Indiana, said: My COL
league Mr.. Cham be rlain) is now detain-
ed from the House by sickness in his
family. He proposed TO me to pair off
with him. l told him l would pair off
with him on the final passage of the bill,
if il should so happen that his vo;e
would defeat the bill. But from the
votes which have been taken, l became
satisfied that the bill would pass; and
have accordingly availed myself of the
privilege of putting Myself upon the
record.

An Italian farce. which has atto,ne

An Italian farce, which has attained
considerable popularity. is distinguished
by the following somewhat comical Incl
dent. A traveller reaches an inn and
finds l. 'wded with occupants: his
choice lies between no bed al ali. or one
in the same room where a black man is
sleeping; he adopts the latter. and orders
the servant to call hlm a, very early
hour. In the middle of the night mis-
chievous wag wanders into the room. and
nmuses himself with backing the tray
ellerS face. When the servant wakes
him. his first action is TO Look I'm the
glass. when he exclaims, 1.-THE fool has
woke the wrong MANI and calmly goes
to bed again.

The Wfather-CrOpS &c. &c.-For the last
two weeks the weather in this locality
has been unusually disagreeab!e and un-
seasonable. The rains continued rather
warm and favorable to the growing crops
until the latter part of last week. when
they became exceeding chilly-rendering
it necessary for fire in our stores and
shops. The wheat had become quite
rank. under the influence of former ains.
and the late heavy showers. attended
with considcra bic wind, caused ii 10 fall

rather pale, and much Of it is doubtless
drowned out, In some instances. the
continued wet has thus far prevented
many farmers from getting all their corn
planted, and the great amount OF water
now in the ground, will make very late
harvest for that hereafter planted

statement:

a sum that would have constructed two
hundred and fifty schools, or stored two
hundred fifty-three free Libraries. has &C

almost incredible fact rests upon the au-
,horiiy Of Mr.. Petu; one of the contract
ors for the erection OF the palace.

The Devil Caught.-Quite number o.

was our Devil. Surely the end can't be
far off now.
It is an old and approved requirement
