Coon OLD ADyIoE.--Noah Webster, the
greahAaxicographer wrote letter to hisneigh-
boTe IN 1875 in relation to the hard times,
whAh readBas though 1t might have been

Never buy any useless clothing. Keep a
good suit for Sundays and other public days,
bullet your common wearing apparel be good
substantial clothes and linen of your own man
nfaeture.--Let your own wives and daughters
lay aside their plumes. Feathers and ripper

kitchen, but they little become the fair daugh-
ters of America Out of the drygoods i'm
ported you may save f50,000ta year. These
savings amount to f150,000 year, more than
enough TO pay the interest of our public debts.

The LATEST FLLIBusrERIHG ExPEDlTIoN.--
Some mystery shrouds the connection of the
steamboat Fashion with Walkers last dllibus-
tering enterprise. She was formerly a govern
ment vessel, but having been recently sold in
as alleged at the time, by the friends Of Gener-
al Walker. This being now proved accurate,
the whole proceeding wears very suspicious
aspect. All the responsible government Off
cials at Mobile aud Now Orleans have evident
ly connived at the fitting out and sailing OF
tho new expedition. Did they also furnish the
vessel The freight list of the Fashion as CIV
en- at the Mobile custom house, included only
such articles as would be needed by military
enterprise for provisions, outfit, ETC., ETC., yet
the vessel was described as being very heavily
laden insomuch that an ordinary sized man
might dip water from her side with bucket.

count of an incident on the New Haven and
Hartford Road, soon after it went into opera
ton. The train stopped at. Meriden TO wood
up. and fidgety gentleman, who was probably
the first time in his life in railroad car, and
who held on to his seat with both hands from
the time the cars left Hartford, looking as
though he expected every moment to be

out on the platform and took rapid look at
the locomotive. g'

THR GREkr ENGLISH MnLIoNAIRE.- The
vanity of riches is seldom illustrated so strik-
ingly as in the case of the great English milli-
onaire Morrison, who died recently worth S20,-
000, 900. II seems to be one of the conditions
of the accumulation of enormous wealth in a
single generation that the possessor shall first
dfsqualify himself from enjoying it, and in
some cases even appreciating the fact that he
holds it. Mr.. Morrison Accumulated this al
most fabulous amount himself, and in the reg
uiar course of hiso business, without any ex-
traordinary turn of fortune; yet the following
extract from letter in the Boston Post shows
how little benefit he permitted himself to re-
ceiye from all his wealth.. Whata satire It is
upon the exclusive devotion OF all the facuL
ties,to the mere accumulation Of property
sAss N orrison retired from active business
several years since. without Withdrawing his
capital from the mercantile house, and though
managing his vast funds himself up.to the
time of his death with all theisagacity of ear
er days, he has for the past three years been
possessed with the idea that he should come to
want. Moreihan two years ago he commenced
| doing day labor upon farm held by one OF his
| tenants, for which he received twelve shillings
aweek, and this he continued up to the time
| OF his illness. For the last eighteen months
| he has been regular APPLICANT for relief to the
| parish, assembling toice week with the town
| paupers at the door of the g Union,' and re-
\ ceiying with each one of them his two shili-
| ings and quarter loaf. bis friends have in
dulged him in these fancies on the ground
| that it was the best choice of two evils. The
truth was money was his godi and the idea
| became at lasttoo great for him and broke him
down. And yet he is said to have made a
most judicious will, and his Investments up to
the last are characterised by great good sense

Snow AND POVERTY IN MINNESOTA "A gen.
tleman from st. Pauls informs the Prairie du
CHEN Couiier that there were in the frat part
of last week eighteen inches of snow on the
ground at ST. Paul. The Times says;
Sunday was eighteen inches deep. This seems
too terrible for belief. A great portion OF
Minnesota is in state OF destitution. No
money is in tho country; large bodies of em-
igrants are huddled together in places entirely
new and remote from supplies, and now the
rigors of northern winter1are upon them near
ly asmonth before they were anticipating it.
We dread the recital through the press OF the
horrors In store for those who are without pro-
visions or money, and shut out from the world
by half year of ice and snow.
