"Mus1c AND DANCING" ga piece of
carelessness in correcting proof" made us
say yesterday, that Miss Bishop was about
to teach emusic and dancing" in her Aca-
denny. Nothing is certainly further from
that lady's thoughts than the dancing part of
the tuition, and nothing could be farther
from our wish than to thus misrepresent her
intentions. A knowledge of Music and Dra0-
ing are the two accomplishments we intended
to give her school credit for being compe-
tent to impart to the pupils thereof.
SAD INcIDENT.-Early yesterday morning
we met friend, in whose welfare we have
always felt brotherly interest; his counte-
nance told plainly of some inward grief which
neither spiritual consolation nor physical
comfort could wholly root out, and he seemed
to be seeking hope and encouragement in
the beauties and splendor of the early morn
ing. After little conversation, light was
given in regard to the cause of his sorrow,
by his propounding the following question:
"Why is the Song of Hiawatha like squaw's
foot?" Of course, this was stumper, and
we modestly declined attempting an answer.
With decp-drawn sigh, he "put forth" as
follows: because it is an Indian legend."-
He left us Immediately, and was soon at the
door Of reighbor Ranch, trying to alleviate
his suferings with friendly drop of sbitters."
A MIsER IN THE AIMS HousE.-A paa-

Pittsburgh Aims House, last week, and
when her body was laid out, belt contain

thus in the Aims House, was buried in a
pauper's grave, and On the night of her in

CLOSING SCENES OF LEGISLATURE
The Legislature of Nebraska Territory adj
journed on the 25th ult:, after repeating a
law giving women the right to vote, which
they had passed the day before. A CORES
pendent of the N. Y. Times gives the follow
ing account of their adjournment

"drinks all around" Some shouted SEQ it,

the clock running at railroad speed to bring
the hour of adjournment around. Members
were mixed up with outsiders inside the
bar, some smoking, some perched on the top
of the desks and chairs, and everybody en-
joying themselves as nature dictated The
House had more the appearance of public
bar-room than the halls of legislation.
About midnight the Council sent in word
they were ready to adjourn. Resolutions
commencing the clerks and officers of the
House, down to the fireman, were passed
but not word was passed for the Speaker
whom a few members took occasion to abuse
in bitter and unbecoming language. In the
midst of confusion worse COMPOUNDED, the
House adjourned.

RUNAWAY ExTRAoRD1N&RY.- We learn
that one of the locomotives Of the Bing-
hampton road ran away from Homer with
freight train on Monday last. The engin-
Ger and al hands had left the train for a few
moments, when something set the steam
working, and off started the iron horse with
his heavy train, at the rate of fifteen or
twenty miles an hour, without human
being on board. The switch tender at Court
land saw the train coming, and suspected
that something was wrong; he left the
switch Oh the main track and ON went the
train without interruption, until it finally
stopped for want of steam, without doing
the least damage. The engineer and con-
C,uctor followed with horse and buggy, and
after travelling about seven miles, overlook
their runaway train and again assumed the
control of the iron horse.-Albany Trans.

A YANKEE ApPRAIsEMENr.-The New
buryport Herald with just scales weighs the
Know Nothing nominees THUS. Their value
is accurately ascertained:
at is probable that he will decline the
nomination as soon as he hears of it. He is
now in Europe. If he does not, it is all the
same. He is an extreme fogy in all his
views, and if he had not signed the Fugitive
Slave Law, he could not carry two States,
and now he can't carry one. Mr. Donelson
was once smiled upon by Gen. Jackson but
if the spirit-rapping theory is true, it is
wonderful that old Jackson's spirit has not
knocked out his brains before this. Prob
ably it would, if he had any to spare. All
that we ever knew of his doing was to bank
rupt the old hero by his management about
the Hermitage estate"

WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1856.
Talk on Change.

Although We have not in our city magnificent
and costly edce devoted to commerce, yet there are
daily meetings of the true and solid men of our city,
who exist and live for the welfare and good of New
Orleans, and congregate daily in St. Charles street.
in the building devoted TO the purposes of an ex-
change by the Mechanics Exchange Association
where interviews can be had daily, and the general
routine Of change dealings negotiated and carried
out.
There were several gatherings Of traders and dealers
yesterday in the vicinity of St. Charles street, and
as there is to be another clearinghouse erected
forthwith on the street by the Bank of New Orleans
it will become street Of considerable Importance
after while, though much of its glory and fame
heretofore held in the way of cotton has departed
and settled on Carondeet and Union streets.
All our readers are aware of the kind Of weather
we had yesterday, and Of heavy rain just about the
time Of bank business and post-ofice matters There
were only moderate arrivals Of produce up to late
hour last evening the Magnolia from Vicksblrg, was
the only boat with cotton reported. Her manifest
exhibited great falling off from last week, being
only two-thlrds Of the usual quantity.
There were two naval arrivals reported, being two
sloops from New York BY the way Of Lake Erie,
through some canal in Ohio into the Ohio river. As
harping on, hope they will make note of it for
future reference, expect to have to record fur
ther arrivals from the State of New York as soon as
the Ohio river and its brauches-Allegheny and Mo-
nongahea-take rise.
We give below the monthly receipts Of produce at
the basin of the upper canal, the value of which
we figure out at one hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars We arc, however at loss to find out the true
merchantabe value Of pine knots in sacks There is
also another new article Of Importation OIL
Everything produced from the forests the sea- or the
cultivated land, will find market and sale in our
city. There is no production whatever but what
some Of our New England friends will find use for, it
is immaterial what it is:

The HouEna Ceres, Of the 29th ult., says of the
weather and crops:
The past has been most remarkable week for the
last in November. We have had real July weather,
with heavy rains and damp snitry atmosphere. Seve-
raj planters in this parish commenced making sugar,
but were obliged to stop on account of the extreme
warmth. They complain bitterly of the yield although
the sugar made is Of excellent quality. The present
state OF the weather will cause the cane to resume
vegetatlon and make it still worse.
In the Plaquemine Sentinel: of the 29lh ut., we
find the following paragraph:
We were informed on Thursday of the outlines of
deplolabe accident that occurred in the neigbor-
hood OF Crosse Tete, in this parish few days since
