The beautiful horse " Comet" recently pur-
chased by Geo w. Colamer would have receiy-
ed his appropriate premium had he been owned
sufficient length Of time by Mr. G. He had
also on exhibition a splendid Mare which would
have taken premium but for the same reason.
The Horses were all so good that the COMMITTED
were much troubled to decide which really de-
served the most marked notice, and wished the
funds Of the Society would allow them 10 dis
tribute premiums to a great many others that
were richly deserving.

The Peddler at swaffham.

The curious woodwork in the church of
Swaffham, in Norfolk, England, has a
singular story connected with it, and pretty
we'll authenticated it is said to be, too.
A peddler living in the place, saw one
night in a dream supernatural figure
standing by him, which said; Rise, and
go to London Bridge, and there shalt thou
find a treasure.
The peddler was, it appears, unwilling
to undertake so long journey on this
intiination, and took no notice Of the appa-
rition. The next night it stood before
him again, and commanded him to begone
Instantly. Still his incredibly was insu-
perable. The third night the figure ap-
peared again, and more urgently command
ed him to set off forthwith and that in
such commanding manner, that, on ava
king, he determined to obey.
Having happily surn'ounted the tedious
journey, taking only his dog as his COM
panion, he came to Londen Bridge, and
wandered up and down whole day with
out any result. At last. as it grew towards
evening, man from one of the houses on
the bridge, watched his incessant motions
to and fro, came up to him.
''Sir peddler,'' said he, "may be so
bold as to inquire the cause of your wan
dering up and down the bridge all this
Iivelong day, without intent, methinks, to
gain. any advantage thereby"
The peddler, who, by this time began
himself TO mistrust the reasonableness OF
his errand, was 10th to expose what might
be considered his own folly hut, at last.
on being very much pressed, said:
swell, an must tell you, vision hade
me come to London Bridge, for that there
| should find treasure but treasure have
[ found none, and unless am the more
fortunate. shall go back as poor as
came"
"Neyer trust again to Visions" qaoih

One OF THE Polk MEN.-.Among the
many anecdotes Of the late Gubernational
canvass. we heard one the other day which
illustrates the progress Of intelligence in
certain portions Of the State where news
paper is as great curiosity as roll Of
Egyptian papyrus. A settler down in the
swampy country, having heard that Mr.
Polk would pass along the road near his
house on certain day, and that he would
be known by the two famous white mules,
determined 10 get look at the great man,
Of whom he had heard so much. Seating
himself on log, he waited patiently for
several hours, whiting piece Of red ce-
dar and whistling the Arkansaw Trav-
|eler.v At length the two white mules
came trotiing down the road. and the
swampite arose, aud dofing his coonscin,
cried out .ai5st
II say, stranger, your name is Polk,
amt il r.
Being answered in the Affirmative, be
jumped off the log. threw down his whit.
Ting stick, and striding up to the buggy,
grasped Mr.. Polk by the hand.
Well, darn your pictur." said he, i

Till moek, submissive and resigned,
1t socks above'a purer joy,
Andstays the fcklo, wayward mind
On pleasures which can never olOY.
-Clarksburg, Sept. 10TH 1856.
