THE PLUG UGLIEs.-A Baltimore correspond
ent Of the New York Herald gives the following
as the origin Of the term "Plug Ugly"
Gas the name sPlug Ugly has Of late becom
rather conspicuous, and has become in fact the
stereotyped synonyme for rowdyism, bullyism,
and political blackguardsm generally, II may be
interesting to some Of your siugularly expressive
and applicable to the purposes to which il has
been applied. IL has become the rallying cry of
a large plumber Of half-grown young men who
either are members Of, or who run with, hook
and ladder company in this city, rejoicing In the
more classic and patriotic name Of the Mount
Vernon Hard by the head quarters OF this hne
company there dwelt a vender OF segars and to-
bacco, who was distinguished as being the ugii-
est man In his neighborhood His establishment
derived the principal part Of It's support ON the
M Junt Vernon boys, and the inyariabie form OF
address, when plug Of his tobacco was called
for was 'Giye ms a plug. Ugly You Will al
once see how readily the nickname was adopted.

INTERESTING TO FAMILIES.

The following extract from a New York paper
cannot fail to be interesting. In referring to 90
the receipts Of Teas in this country for one In
year up to 3oth utmO, it says they will be H. k4b
100000 pounds short Of the Imports of the year end
ing June 81, 1856, and that
"The advance in black teas. OOlOngs, since last
December, has been fifteen cents per pound; and
Young Hyson Teas, of low and medium grades,
have ex xperienced an advance of one hundred per
cent. over last seasons closing prices.
1T will thus be seen that tho strong and rapid
advance the tea market has been the result of n
shore supply and active demand but when it is con-
sidered that We may hear at any moment of the en-
tire suspension OF shipments at Shanghai, and, in
fact that, as soon as a sufficient force from England
arrives at the seat of war; all five ports of entry in
China will probably be placed under strict blockade,
II would not he surprising to Teas at much
higher figure than they have yet attained"
In view Of these facts, We hold ont very great in
ducements for families to lay in their supplies of
