young fellow got on too heavy head of

his condition, attempted to "put I'M

it. the chap made fight. and pitched in.

to yell enough" right Justify. That

SALOON vs.. DoeaERY.-There is
great difference between a Saloon and q
Doggery, though many term everything a
Doggery, where a drink or other refresh
ments can be obtained. A Doggery is
place where drunkenness, gambling, ca
rousing. and disturbance are carried on /;
but Saloon is such an establishment
as is kept by .Holbrook and Wakefield,
in this place. They have nice loom,
where any one can go and get drink Of
something good to take, or sit and smoke
a cigar, partake of dish, of oysters, or
a can of peaches, or other similar refresh
ments, and go away sober. But there is
no drunkenness, no disturbance, no ca
rousing. no quarrelling permitted about
their establishment and the doors are
closed of Sundays. It's to be hoped
that this order will continue. We re-
commend them to those who wish to pat
ronize respectable house.

SIR;-I regret that it is not in my power
to attend the meeting of the American par
ty which is to be held at Louisville on the
I'd Of June. l regret this the more as |
approve Of the objects of the meeting and
believe that much good will be effected by
it. TIL: local prejudices which have cna-
bled the party, called by Gen. Jackson the
"sham Democracy," to get ossession of the
Federal Government are rapidly losing
their influence and there are many reasons
in other rcpects for saying that the people
already comprehend the machinery by
which the true interests of the country
have been sacrificed to subservc the pur-
poses Of a few sectional agitators.
We see in the formation of the present
Cabinet as we did in that which it super
seeded, a coalition of the most dscordant
elements, and a mockery of many of the
most important landmarks established by
our early statesmen.
Mr., Buchanan, in 1862, unwilling TO

More Fuss Than Feathers.

A Philadelphia paper contains the
following under the head Of Poliee:'
AS Mrs. Esther Stansbuay, residing
in a court running from Race, below
Sixth street, was about to brlug q
bucket Of water from the hydrant last
night, she found an old basket suspen-
ded from the knob of the front door.
Putting her hand into the basket she
felt something alive and kicking, but
SO wrapped up in rags, that no farther
discovery could be made without an
wrapping the object. A peice o. paper,
folded like a letter, lay by the side Of
the animated bundle. Mrs. Stansbury
Immediately returned to the house, and
by the light Of the lamp examined the
billet. 1t was directed to her husband.
She TREMENDOUSLY broke the seal and
readas follows:
ITO Joe Stansdury
Sir i send you the baby, which
you will please take good care of, and
bring up right, SO that it may turn out
be a better man than its daddy. Oh,
Joseph, what a sly old rake you are!
Who would think that such a sober
old spindleshanks could be such a
tearing>down sinner? The child is
yours-you may swear to that. Look
at tit is Joe Stansbury all over
You deceived me shamefully, joe
letting on to be a widower! But do a
fathers duty by the young one, and
I'll forgive you.
Your heart broken NANCY
p. S. Don't let that sharp>nosed
wife of yours see this letter. Cams
mon her with some kind of a story
about the baby.
Mr.. Stansbury was in the basement
kitchen, quietly eating his supper, and
little imagining what a storm was
brewing over his head. The door of
the kitchen was violently thrown open
and his wife's voice yelled out.
'Stansbury, come up here, you wills
lain! Here's a mess for youp
The astonished Stansbury hastily
obeyed the summons.
nonL you want to see Nancy, the
heart-broiengNancy? cried Mrs. STAINS
burv. when her guilty husband hob
bIed up into the room. Nancy! what
Nancy's th.at2' said the sly old rogue,

sWhvg Nancy, the mother of this ba-
hv that's been hung up at the door,
Mr.. Salisbury! Oh, you look so
MIGHTY innocent; but just read that
letter. ;And then look into that basket!
Don't DC afraid-it won't bite; it's got
no teeth, poor thing. You'll know it;
for. as tie hussy says, it's just like you
all over. Please goodness, I'll expose
you before everybody
In less than five minutes Mrs. StanS
bury had collected a room full Of spec
tators-half the inhabitants of the
court-to witness the process of un>
