,ses trade, but the New London Chronicle,
states as fact, that a Mr.. Richards, who keeps
store on the Hartford road, few days since,
found in one of his empty molasses hogsheads,
a human skeleton, the remains no doubt, Of
negro who was probably asleep in the hogs
head when it was filed on the plantation.
We don't want to injure the whisky trade,
but must state it as a fact that, once upon a
time, DIR. Ackley, of Cleveland, had consigned
TO him from Columbus, large anaconda,
which belonged to caravan passing through
the State, but, having sickened and died. was
sent to the DR.. for the Museum of the Cleve-
land Medical College. But it never reached
Cleveland; and search being made, the cask
in which it was sent was discovered in one Of
the unfinished rooms of the Neil House, lust

discovered that the carpenters and joiners at
work on the building, had found the cask in
one Of the rooms, and thinking it would be a

whisky, had moved it to another room, tapped
it. and actually drank all the liquor. And

SHALL I Pray TO CHANCE ?-An English la
dy, who had forsaken her God and the Bible
for the gloom and darkness of infidelity, was
crossing the Atlantic, and asked pious sailor
how long they should be out. In fourteen
days, if it's Gods will, we shall be in Liver
pool" answered the sailor
1" If it is Gods will ?" said the lady what
a senseless expression don't you know that it
all comes by chance 2"
In few days terrible storm arose, and
the lady stood cliuging to the side of the cabin
door in an agony of terror, when the sailor
passed her.
"What do you Think" said she, "will the
storm soon be over 7"
=" 1t seems likely to las for some time, mad
am"
"Oh," she cried, "pray that we need not be
lost"
His only and calm reply was, Shall Ipray

ADVANTAGE OF UsISG ToBAcco-Thc fol-
lowing was communicated to Com. Wilkes of
the Exploring expedition by a savage of the
Feejee Islands. He stated that vessel, the
hulk of which was still lying on the beach, had
come ashore in a storm, and that all the crew
had fallen in the hands Of the Islanders.
"What did you do with them ?" inquired
Wilkes.
KILLED 'em ALL" answered the savage
"What did you do with them after you
had killed them 2"
" Eat 'em-good," returned the cannibal
did you eat them all ?" asked the half
sick Commodore.
Yes, we eat all but one.s
"And why did You spare one? ?"
because he taste too much like tobacco
couldn't cat no how !"
If the tobacco chewer should happen to fall
into hands of New Zealand savagcs or get
shipwrecked somewhere in the Feejee group,
Inc will have the consolation of knowing that
he will not be cut into steaks and buried in
the unconsecrated stomach of a cannibal.

FOUND His FArHER-My son, can you take

ping from boat on the levee, to q ragged
youngster who sat balancing himself on the
tail of a dray.
Your son cried the boy, eyeing him from
head to foot. Well, I'll be dod rabbed, if
amt in luck Here I've been trying to find
my daddy these three years, and all of a sud-
den, up comes the old hoss himself, and knows
me right off. How are you stretching out his
muddy paw.
The traveller was non-plussed. Between a
smile and frown, he inquired =
What is your name, sir =?
My name You don't know Well, its
nothing In these parts to have so many chill
dren that they don't know their names My
names William, but some folks call me rag
ged Bill, for short. The other part l reckon
you know if you don't you can AK the old
woman.
And shouldcring the trunk, he started off
towards the hotel, mumbling to himself: Well,
this is 60. The old mans come home at last
Good clothes, big trunk, must have the tin.
Well, am in luck.

A WORD FOR PArRIcK-The Philadelphia
North american closes an article ON Irish col
onization of our waste lands with the follow
ing good word for Patrick.
"The poor Irishman is rough jewel, but
faith there's the making of man in him.
O'Connell was not so far wrong when he de-
clared his countrymen the finest pisantry in
the world We defy any man to be conver-
SAINT with fair specimen of this people and
not like, while at the same time he may feel
inclined to shake him. Wherever one of them
has the chance, he shows the true points of
manhood In domestic attachments strong,
in domestic virtues eminent, it is seldom he is
guilty of a calculating, deliberate, or ma
licious wrong. The infusion of Irish blood in
the circulation of the universal Yankee ma
ton, gives an impulsiveness and promptitude
which will tell upon our future Let Patrick
have a fair chance, education and indepen-
dence and we are not afraid of any harm that
he will do, while we are very hopeful of the
good that enlightened freemen of Irish extrac-
tion will accomplish"

your columns let the readers of the Reporter,

At Taos, New Mexico, it was few days after
Christmas 80 degrees below zero The snow
commenced falling the last of September, and
the ground was not, neither had it been, bare
ON the 11th of February. Within the remem-
brance Of that noted individual, the oldest in
habitant, there had never been such a hard
winter in New Mexico Before, it was called
cold at, zero. On the plains Buffalo carcass
es were strewn all along from Bent's Fort to
the crossing of the Arkansas, on the old Santa
Fe road, distance of $50 miles and the In-
dians lost 2,4OO horses at the time of our cross
ing the plains. 1t was cold for seven days
seet falling all the time but we lost no ami
mails, but it was very severe on them. At
some future time, if this is acceptable to your
readers, will furnish some sketches of New
Mexico. Yours, &c, J.
