SINKING OF STEAMER BEN FRANKLrN--
We learn from Mr.. j. NJ. Caldwell. who was
a passenger, that the Ben. Franklin struck
on reef about 10 miles below Louisville, ON
Wednesday night, and badly damaged her
hull. After the accident, she was run about
three miles, but she was fouad to be leaking
so fast that she WIS landed on the Indiana side
and her deck freight, except the tobacco, put
ashore. She wac then run up the river, one
and half miles, on a bar where she sunk in
shallow water. Her passengers came dowr
on the Southerner, that arrived here yester
day afternoon. They left the Franklin about
IL o'clock, the previous night.

How ALE STRENGTHENED HIM.-We
believe we have got hold of an original an
ecdete that never was printed before. A
student of one of our State Colleges had
barrel of ale deposited in his room contrary
of course to rule and usage. He received
a summons to appear before the President,
who said
"Sir. am informed that you have bar
rel of ale in your ROOM"
Yes. sir.''
'.Well, what explanation can you make"
why, the fact is, sir. my physician adj
vises me to try little each day as tonic
and not wishing to stop at the various places
where the beverage is retailed, concluded
to have barrel taken to my ROOM"
Indeed. And have you derived any
benefit from the use of it ~
"Ah, yes, sir When the barrel was first
taken to my room, two days since, | could
notlift it. Now can carry it with the great
est ease"
We believe the witty student was dis
charged without special reprimand.
A most interesting sight to see is that of
a young lady with lips like rubies," with
teeth of pearly whiteneSs," with cheeks
that have stolen the deep carnation of the
deathIess rose with her mouth full of
gingerbread!
Bridget, where is the teakettle?" "Please,
mann, Mr. O'NeiI, the new boarder, is wash
inc his feet in it." The last seen of Mr.
O'Nei, he was going down the front steps,
about six inches in advance of an empty
coaI-scuttle.
"Pray, Mr. Hume" said Lady Wallace
to the Philosopher, "when | am asked
what is my age, what answer shall give?'
Say, madam" replied he, "what l believe
will be the truth, that you have not yet
come to the years of discretion"
Jeu de mot.-'John, did you ever bet on
horse race" "NO-but I've seen my
sister Bet on an old mare.r'
A man ceases to be good fellow the
moment he refuses to do precisely what
other people wish him to do.
