A GREENHoRN ON THE LocoMoTIvE.-Mr
Snodgrass, Jr, has been "scooting around
at the West, and as some of his experiences
are rather amusing, We copy an extract as
follows:
"When we got to the depot, went around
to get look at the iron boss. Thunderation.
it warn't no more like hoss than meetn'-
house. II was goin' to describe the animule,
I'D say it looked like-well, it looked like
darned if | know what it looked like unless
it was a regular he devil, snortin' smoke all
around, and pantin', and heavin', and swellin',
and chawin' up red hot Goals like they was
good. A feller stood in house like, feedin'
him all the time; but the more he got the
more he wanted, and the more he sn0rted-
After a spell the feller catched him by the
tail, and great Jericho! he set up yell that
split the ground for more'n mile and half,
and the next mint ! felt my legs a waggin',
and found myself at t'other end of the string

chils and stroke of palsy in less than five
mnits, and my face had n curious brownish.
yeler-green- blush color iG it, which was per-
fectly unaccOuntable. "Well," says "com-
ment is supper fuouS," and took a seat in
the nearest waggin', or cur, as they call it-a
consarned long, steamboat lookin' thing, with
string of pews down each side big enough
to hold about a man and half Just as sat
down, the hoss hollered twice and started off
like streak pitchin' me head first at the
stomach of big Irish woman, and she gave a
tremendous grunt, and then catched me by
the head, and crsnmed me under the seat;
the cars was a jumpin' and tearin' along at
nigh onto forty thousand miles an hour, and
everybody was bobbn' up and down like
mill-saw, and every wretch on'em had his
mouth wide open and looked like they was
latin, but couldn't hear nothin', the cars
kept such a racket. Bimeby they stopped all
at once, and then such another laff busted out
o. them passengers, as never hern before
Latin at me, too, that's what made me mad,
and was mad as thunder, too. | ris up, and
shakin' my fist at 'em' says ! "Lades and
gentlemen, look n here! Pm peaceable stran.
ger and away the darn train went like
smallpox was in town, jerking me down in
the seat with n whack like I'd been thrown
from the moon, and their cussed mouths
Topped open, and the felers went to bobbin'
up and down again. Iput on an air Of mag
nanimous contempt like, and took no more
notice of 'em, and very naturally went to
bobbin' up and down myself"

UNITED STATES TREASURY NoTEs.-The
Baltimore Sun says the state of the United
States Treasury at the close of the month
induces the belief among some persons that
one of the earliest acts of the new Congress
to assemble this day, will be to authorize an
issue of treasury notes, bearing nominal in
terest Of say one mill per annum, TO supply
the deficiencies in the revenue. The Depart.
ment, II is said, requires balance of about
Six millions of dollars to be on hand, subject
to draft, at It's repositories and mints, to con-
duct the business of the country, and to
grant the usual facilities for minting gold
dust, &c.

The United States troops arrived on the

Forney expected to have an interview with

rg-The Washington Union, the ORGAN O

eR- The Washington Union, the organ OF
the Administration, in recent article, holds
the following sensible language:
The Constitution declares that "the citi-
zens of each State shall be entitled to all the
privileges and immuniiles of citizens in the
several States" Every citizen of one State
coming into another State has, therefore, II
right to the protection Of his person, and that
property which is recognized as such by the
Constitution of the United States-any law
OF the State to the contrary notwithstanding
SO far from any State having right to de-
prive him of his property, it is its bounden
duty to protect him in its possession.

A LIBERAL LANDLORD AND EMPLoYER.-
A correspondent of the Hartford (Conn.)
Times states, that Colonel Colt, who on the
first of October reduced the rent of his ten
ants within his Improvements on the South
Meadows, Is per cent. TO the contractors, and
20 per cent. to all the lahorers in his employ,
again on the eve of winter sent Thanksgiv-
ing present of barrel of flour to one and all
the tenants in his village. He has in his enl-
ploy 600 men, of which 276 are men with
families.

cB- With our minds bent upon money from
January to January, amid the catastrophies
of business, and the snariDg life Of the town,
it is scarcely to be expected that so small an
affair as the falling Of leaf will plunge us
into very deep thought on the uncertainty
and evanescence of life. And yet we must
utterly cease to think of golden gain sooner
or later. The days and months, and years
are hurrying along. Like the leaves which
lived SO bright life in the summer sunshine,
we will perish-droop-decay. But who has
time to give thought to these sentimentalltiesl
This note will hardly pass--Phil. Jour.

AN INTERNAL MAcHlNE.-Last week, says
the Selma (Ala.) Reporter of the 9th inst.
a friend described machine recently inven-
ted and tested at Burnsvlle, Ala, which
throws five ounce balls through an inch
plank distance Of one hundred yards. The
Sentinel says that the velocity can be increa-
sed to such degree, that five thousand,
balls or shells minute can be thrown. No
powder is used-the bullets being thrown
by an arm of machinery, same as a man
throws stone. This certainly is the great
est invention of the age. With such ma
chine mere handful of men could demosh
an army of thousands in few hours.

1t is asserted that his receipt for $4,000 was
found among the papers of Laurence e.
Stone, the Boston house which suspended a
few weeks ago. His friends say that the re-
ceipt is for a simple loan, but the truth of
this statement is generally doubted.

THE PooR BoY.-Dont be ashamed, my
good lad, il you have a patch on your elbow.
1t is no mark of disgrace. 1t speaks well
for your industrious mother. For our part,
we would rather see dozen patches on
your jacket than hear one profane or vulgar
word escape your lips, or smell the fumes of
whiskey, or tobacco in your breath. No
good boy will shun you because you cannot
dress rs well as your companions; and it n
boy sometimes laughs at your appearance,
say nothing my good lad, but walk on. We
know many rich and good man, who was
once as poor as you. Fear God my boy, and
if you are poor, but honest, you will be res
pccted-a great deal more than you were
the son of a rich man, and were addicted to
bad habits.
