We learn that the little steamer
Osceola has been released from durance
and is again making or trying to make mon.
ey. To tie up steamboat for debt, unless
il be sold outright, seems to us a similar
absurdity to imprisonipg man forthe same
cause. Of course no money can be made
towards liquidating the debt while the man
or the boat is in that situation, and the on
ly wise way would seem to be to give them
both the privilege Of working.

THROWING IN HIS MITE.-On Saturday
last as we are informed by w. +. Holmes,
Esq, Poor Master in this city, small, pale
and sedate looking man, came leisurely
along by his Office, paused moment before
the door, and then moved along shor, dis
lance and then halted ngain. After cogi-
Eating moment, he turned and made his
way back into the p, or Masters office, and
asked il donations for the benefit of the poor
were ever received there. He was informed
that provision was made by the city for the
poor, and that he had never received dona.
tions--none having eyet been offered That
stranger then remarked that he felt disposed
to contribute his mite towards TIE alienation
OF the sick poor, when he was Informed Of
the residence Of family whom it would be
real charity to assist, and it was suggested
that he had better himself dispense in that
direction what he had TO gve.--The stran-
ger made objections to this, remarking that
he was unaequainted in the city and could
make but brief stay in it, and would there
fore take it as a lavor if the Poor Master
would dispense what he had to give. lie
then produced dollar bill, and requested a
quarter back-seventy-fve cents being full
iy up 10 the measure Of his means at the
present moment. While in the act of hand
ing over the quarter in change, Mr.. Holmes
remarked that he knew poor family, the
head OF which was suffering from consump-
ton, and to whom six shilings would prove
OF great consequence. On hearing this H.
stranger gave back the quarter in change,
and requested Dir. Holmes TO give the whole
dollar to the person he had mentioned. He
then bid good bye, and passed off with the
same thoughtful siep as that with which
he approached the place.
In DER opinion, this man was character
