as it may, appear, but Characteristic of the man,
he has just issued a HaLt:sheet, and in it given

But Unjust not weary you. OF this fact rest
assured, that city which has made itself one of
tGelaTgest emporiuns in the West, in course
of few years; city which controls sixteen
largo steamers exclusively, and makes them all
pay, tn boot; a city whose wholesale trade runs
upint6 figures large as mi!lions,-such city is
not going to permit fire, even like the terrible
one of last night, to impede its rapid strides in
growth, beauty or wealth. As told you before
the people here live FREQ aud easy; their hearts
are ever open to sympathy, and their heads at
work for spccalati6n But they are always vii
ling to pull out of one pocket anxious as they
may be to fill the other. But more Of that

K1ssrSa rx.rnE Casa few weeks ago, says
the Cleveland Leader, al friend wasreturnjng from
down to the city" on the n. y. Central Rail
road. 1t was evening, and the train was making
good time, as there were no snow banks on the
track. The cars were crowded and in the seat
Just before our friend were seated a young gent
and lady, who seemed to be all the world to each
other. They were not conscious that lamps
eyes were upon them. They had evidently just
said farewell to friends at home and shaken hands
with the minister who had given them a ccrtifi-
cate that they 1.-TWO were one" We said it was
evening, and with a 'hoodcd head resting on his
shoulder, and 'love lit eyes" peering up, and
rosy lips in sweet repose so near his own, he
could not resist such temptation, aud pop, smack
went the lips like the explosion officer bottles
| in cellar. s,g.
Our friend was amused, and enjoyed the scene.
Not SO. with good looking man on the other
side. The kissing was continued, and the stran-
ger opposite took from box an extra quantity
Of Virginia dew" or "AErs. Miller's" best, and
after few rather quick turns inside, he quietly
took the quid in his fingers, and as the kisscr
bowed his head for another one, he let fly the
tobacco, aud took the fellow spat on his check,
near his nose, the juice bespattering the face of
kisscr and kissce.i The shot was so good one
that our friend exploded in a laugh, when the
kisscr stood up six feet, with flashing eye and
angry voice, asked, "Did you throw that" Ri
sing up, our friend cody replied, 'No sir. y
at was ungcnt,emanly," said the kisser.--
ssGrant it, said our friend, shut not more so
than the business you have been engaged in.-
I like a good kiss myself, but never kiss a lady
in the cars" The siX-footer dropped into his
scat, a pair of rosy Cheeks blushed deeper rcd,
the train stopped, and the two left.
The, stranger on the opposite side, a Buffalo
merchant who had become nervous, said to our
! friend 81 came very near getting you into q
rnuss, but, sir, was ready to pitch in you had
not h0orcd him so easily. can never stand so
much kissing in the cars, often see it, and en-

Mouxr VERNON Nor FER SAlE-A Southern
paper called the Spartan, publishes the follow
ing letter, which appears to need explanation:
-, Mourn VERNON, March II, 1856.
To Naridsa JEcf0tI: II 10 / az
| Madam-Ii have received your letter of March
I 9th, respecting the purchase of Mt Vernon by
the ladies of different parts ofthe United States.
In reply, respectfully inform you that Mount
Vernon is not for sale. u 'fs- r..t
am, most respectfully, your ob't serv't,
r r. '.4-.--ts- Jorx A. WASHINGTON.
| IF this letter is genuine, it would seem that
the exertions now making by the ladies Of the
tcountry to raise a fund for the purchase of Mt.
Vernon are futile. .l1Hs H 1yT
The Richmond Enquirer confescs surprise at
seeing Mr.. John a. Washington's positive rcfus-
al to sell Mount Vernon on any terms in view
of the official action that has been taken the
Isubiect Governor johnson, it seems, in a let
ter dated january 18th, 1855, communicated to
| Mr. Washington his intention to recommend to
the Generally Assembly of Virginia the propric-
| ty of the purchase of Mount Yer6on by the State,
and requested that gentleman to state the terms
upon which hcwould be willing to part with any
| portion oLttne property MI. washington, III
rcply, says: "Should the State ofVirginia desire
to purchase Mount Vernon, she can obtain 200
acres Of it, embracing the tomb of Washington,
mansion, gardens grounds, &C., on the following
terms, . &C. One of the conditions of the sale
is the payment by the purchasers of the sum of
| $20O,O00. The Enquirer thinks that there must
be some mistake or misrepresentation in the mat
| ter, as it cannot for moment believe that Mr.
| W.swill refuse to stand by his proposition.

. PkosrEcrs OF EIxr H ARvEsr.-The Alton QfO
| Courier, of the 9th inst, expresses its opinion
| that we may expect another very fine crop OF
wheat, aud the opinion is based upon the follow
I lug reasons: - ,,,l..5 ID.
-'tEEhe early winter was very mild, so mucli.so
that the late Sown wheat. of which there smuch,
Continued to grow to a much later date than
usual. Then the snow will have protected ii
from injury by the frost. LASTLY, such unintcr-
rupted cold weather for so long period, and
Iuntil'so late date, augurs an uninterrupted
spring time when it comes. 1t is further said
that the numbered acres put under wheat in that
part of the country last fall was greater than
ever before known" s
| = The Chicago sloutraGl sayS:4HFc must have
| large crops pextfan. The snow which has fallen
during the past sixty days is equal to five inches
of manure. People capable of estimating mat
tiers, imagine that the wheatcrop of 1856 will be
theldrgest ever harvested in this country. To
estimate the value of snow upon the ground at
ten millions of dollars would be low figure. !"
