NoTEs AYD QUERIES, No. 999.-"Tomnod-
d." asks, "where is Palmyra, and why is il
always spoken of as being ruined !r Palmyra
Is IN the State Of New York 1t was once a
very tiourishing place, having as many as sew
en- or eight hundred inhabitants; but the con-
s;ruetion of the Middlesex Canal, under the
auspices Of the celebrated Sir Henry Clinton
led TO its ruin. 1t was swimming across this
canal that Leander Snooks lost his life, and
the name OF HeH's Point was given TO the
place, by his indignant cotemporaries Pal
myra was so called because there were ne
palm trees within a thousand miles Of II. In
strict accordance with American usage. .
The isles Of Greece" mentioned by an
English poet of the name of Byron, are Nan
tueket and Martha's Vineyard, once famous
for their success in the whaling business. The
observation Of the poet, that ''slI except their
sun is set, is delicate way Of reminding

wives of Windsor, discoverer Of the famous
soap That he should have two wives at the
same time, shows that Mormonism fiourished

house without quarreling. But then they
may have made poor Windsor uncomfortable
enough.

Doctor Warren of woodsawyers, was the re-
oip.ent of distinguished patronage, aud one
day Colonel Billup engaged him TO amputate
few cords for him The Colonel was some
thing Of a a. Betty about matters which were
done for him, and he watched his sable en-
ploye, much TO the latter's annoyance, occa-
sionally presuming TO offer him little advice
as TO the manner Of putting the wood on the
horse, measuring for the exact center, and so
forth -
Sam bore all this as we'll as he oould, but
gradually grew highly exasperated and when
the Colonel, in turn irritated at his obstinacy,
stepped forward to adjust a stick as he thought
was right, Sam asserted the dignity of his e1
perience by kicking over the horse High
words arising, Sam gave up the job and'put
on his jacket. 81 gOTry! Colonel Biilup "a
he circulated, painting with rage, as he shoul-
dered his horse aud saw, " youth a high

man and tsco high thipirited men can never
agree '" and of he went. FAg- 80
