PRICE OF PASSAGE TO EURoPE.-We
see that Mr.. Vanderbilt,is determined to-
reduce the cost of trips to Liverpool to
$50 second class, and $1l0 irst--a re-
duction ono-quarter from the old price,
but high in comparison to our rate over
inland seas. One can sail from Buffalo
to Chichago, distance of one Thousand
miles by water, for SO, and on as fine
steamers as ever foated, which set as
good table as those on the OCEAN
The cost of the ocean steamers is more
than ours, and the cost of furnishing the
table much more on the return trip; but
inasmuch as the distance sailed is not
over three Thousand miles, and is per-
formed in the same rate of time as our
own boats take to Chicago, the differ
ence of price is too great, being on the
average, ten times as much.-Balt.

OMER PAsHA's ARMY.--A Times correspondent
gives the following for the reluctance of Omer
Pasha to JON the Crlmean army:
1.-The unwilingness of Omer Pasha to go the
Crimea at the request of the Allies of the Porte has
excited considerable surprise here and probably else
where, but it is easily accounted for From the time
that Mehemet Ali Pdcha ceased to be Serasker the
Turkish Danubian army was totally neglected. Ria
Pasha was exclusively occupied in earning for The
expedition to the Crmea that the men under Omer
Pasha's command had hardly wherewitha to cover
their nakedness The Sidar positively refused TO move
unit he had received both The necessary clothing for
the and of the Of their pay, and it
is a notorious fact that the troops which have Just
gone the Crimea dotted their rags and put on their
new uniform at Varna just before they embarked l.
The flower OF the Turkish army gone TO the Crme&
and the $4,000 or 10000 men in the Dobrudscha are
i'll shod and worse fed Redis (militia Full two
months since we were informed, on perfectly reliable
authority that Omer Pasha had but Sc, 900 men with
whom TO take the field, and as 10000 of them are
gone or going 10 the Crirea. The force IN the Do
budscha cannot possibly be larger than that above
mentioned. Should it be asked wha; has become of
the remainder of the great Turkish army it may be
replied that war has strong appetite and requires
continual feeding. Reiza Pasha sent no reinforce
ments, and consequently, the Turkish army has dwin-
died away to what ii now is.

One cold winter evening knot Of village worhies
collected around the stove of country store,

the s'Ovepipe. and telling stories and cracking jokes
The schoolmaster, the blacksmith, the barber the
constable, the store keeper and the clerk, were all
there.
AT er they had drank ciIer and smoked cigars to
their hearts content aud when the topics
of the day exhausted, the schoolmaster propos
ed kind of game to relieve the monotony of the
evening. Each one was to PROFOUND a puzzle 10
his neighbour and whoever should ask question that
he himself could not solve, to pay the cter reck

The idea took at once; and the xchoolmaster '!by

however, hope that the good sense of our citizens
will prevent a recurrence OF those dsgraceful scenes
of intolerance which attended the footsteps of Mon
