a Rich SCENE AT THE Custom HOUSE,
Quite rich scene occurred at the Custom
House in this city, on Tuesday. An elder
ly woman from Narragansetr, who for
years past has been in the habit of selling
Huckeberries about the streets of this city
during the summer, called At the Custom
House and stated to one of the officials that
Ghc sold some berries TO u gentleman there
last summer, and loaned him her tin ket-
tie to take them home in, he promising to
return the same the next day to some store
on Ferry Wharf,--but that he had not full
filled his promise, and she wanted her tin
kettle. "a e-r, ...,.. ..... ....rs-
Mr.. Turner, the Collector, was sent for,
and when he appeared, she said it was not
him ; it was taller man. .
Mr.. Ellery, the Deputy Collector, made
his appearance, but the old lady said it was
not him it was much handsomer man
'Oh, lor yes" said she, "a great deal hand
somer."
Judge Atkins, the Surveyor passed in
review, but the old lady declared that he
was not the recreant one.
Daniel Brown, one of the Inspectors,
vas called forward, but the old lady pro-
nounccd him innocent Of this offence, at
least, although she thought that no looked
as il he had been guilty Of great many
offences, particularly Of a political nature,
but said that she did rot care anything
about politics,--all she wanted was her t n
ket le.
Several other officers were called in, but
the old lady said that neither of these had
her kcttle,--adding that she loaned it to a
very handsome old gentleman, with white
hair and white whiskers, who talked funny /.
At this remark, Mr.. Hall, our Milton, the
Naval officer, was sent for AS soon as he
stepped into the ro' IN, the old lady, whose
face vas instantly lighted up with eApres
sions OF the most intense joy,--exclaimed,
"Oh, or me, that's the man, your names
Hall, amt ii, E? what on airlh have You done
with my tin kettle 2"
Milton looked perfectly amazed, and as
surod the good woman that he did not know
what she meant she told him that il was
no use to talk so, for she sold him the ber-
res, and he beat her down cent a quart,
in the trade, and finally made short change,
and tha, he had got her tin kettle, and no
mistake. Milton denied The soft impeach-
meut, protesting his entire innocence he
retired amid roars of laughter by those
present. declaring that he should submit the
case for decision to the Secretary of the
TresAury.

THE Sisters OF CHARIrY.-The
members Of this religious order have
recently adopted an entirely new dress.
Their attire has always been black, but a
the instance of their superiors, they now
wear dark gray robe and with linen
hood with long loose cape OF the same
material and color, which renders them
quite noticeable on the streets. How
ever much Protcstants may object to the
whole momstic system, they must respect
the heroic devotion 10 the sick and needy
which has ever characterized the "Sisiers
of Charity" The Lady Superior of the
institution in this cry, by her commanding
figure, natural gifts, and varied and ex-
tensive requirements, may be justly termed
a Representative womar." She is native
Of Maryland, and belongs, we learn, to one
of the most cultivated and opulent families
Of that State Boston Transcript.
