gave the most speedy Notice to Gentlemen Of the
neighboring Counties, to form themselves into the

laudahle Work. Saturday last q much greater
Number of the SONS OF LIBERTY than could

MODEL ELEcTIoNxERINa--An actual Fact--An
old gentleman in Virginia, unaccustomed to pub
lie speaking" who had once been to the Legisla-
ture, desired to open the canvass at Mill,
on muster day. The nations bulwark having
laid aside their cornstaks and refreshed themselves

store porch to hear the speech. Squire ----
commenced thus:
" Fellow-citizens / am candidate for seat in
the next Legslaturn
We all know that, bawled dozen, which put
the old man out aWfully.
Fellow-citizens, do not wish to be interrupt
ed"
"Why don't you go on, then ?" said one.
This staggered him nearly off the table
" "Fellow-citizens am the father of the ----
Railroad"
"The h you are Ingines toos"

1t is unnecessary to say he was not elected.
PLANK RoAD--We are informed that the plank
road leading out in Maryland by the 7th street
route, is already much out of repair, and that in
many places it is altogether gone. We are sur
prised to hear this, having been all along impress
ed with the idea that the invention had passed the
ordeal of experiment, and stood confessed as the
cheapest and best road, except that of the iron
rail. A horse jury had 80 decided It was not
to be expected, of course, that the road would
make corn, oats, hay, or wood, or horses, or men,
but certainly increased facilities of transportation
might be expected to give an impetus to produc-
ton, and that those benefited would cheerfully
bear any legitimate tax for the purpose of support
ing the same. What the reason may be for the
reported failure of the work, we cannot conceive
unless 1t be the failure of those most interested to
take enough stock to have pushed it to rapid COM
Pletion. This is not intended as any reflection on
any individual of the company, not one being
known even by name to the writer but merely to
direct attention to matter conceived to be one of
general utility and interest.
SPRING CHICKENs.--On little walk into the
country, to look for some indication of spring on
yesterday, the only thing discovered was an old
hen, with young brood Of ten which she gather
ed under her wings with such solicitude as a hu-
man being would naturally exhibit after introducing
friend into the wrong pew. Although the whole
brood is bespoke, it might not be altogether safe
to say which way they can be seen. ~ Ohe morn
ing in May" there will probably be renewal of
distinguished consideration. A discussion of the
merits OF chicken and relative fondness therefor
brought out, from of the party, a scene before
Vera Cruz the day the army landed The tedious
delay before the town and hope deferred, had
whetted the appetite for fresh PROVISIONS The
first living thing scared up by one was an old hen
with chickens one day old The owner had taken
to the chapparel for fear of the fate which waited
the property; more game than himself chick-a-
biddy went to pot The soup was good, but the
captor has never liked chicken soup since.
PURsER DoBBIs. We understand that this new
made naval officer, has received his orders to the
Portsmouth, now being fitted out at Norfolk, and
to sail in two weeks for the East Indies. This is
pretty quick work, considering he has had his ac-
counts to settle as dsbursng agent of the Treasury
Department. Ii is we'll perhaps, that he has no
family affairs to settle, but pity that this ntesst-
ing class of accounts is thus postponed for at least
three years. Leap year and orders Shocking.
WALK UP TO THE CAPTAINs OrrrcE.-Persons
who are more blessed than we are, in the way of
" this worlds goods" should bear in mind, that
the Collectors tax sale ia near at hand. Real pro-
perty is too hard to obtain to be lost by failure
to pay the taxes, to say nothing Of the trouble and
ve1aton of increased costs at every step.
FIRsr OF THE MoNTH--A general Circuit of the
Departments failed to "anything in my line to-
day." The first of the month, being payday, is of
course rather out of the printing line, and predca-
BILE rather Of those who don't do anything else but
receive money on particular day. Those who
expect pay about this time will of course be thank
full to be reminded of thing.so much to their ad-
vantage; but If any fails of his just dues, he

"Aprl fool" The Departments are unusually
busy.
THE NAVY YARD.--0utside of the yard there are
already upwards of thirty, new, neat dwelling
honses commenced, and others must soon be be-
