A GREEyEoRN ON THE LOCOMOTIVE.

Mr.. Snodgrass Junior, has been 'sscooting
around'' at the West, and as some OF his ex-
periences are rather amusing we copy an eN-
tract, as follows:
s'When we got to the depo, went around TO
git look at the iron hoss. Thunderation! 1t
wasn't no more like a hoss than mectin house
was goin to describe the animule, ia say it
looked like--well, it looked like-darned if1
know ,chat it looked like, unless it was reg
ular he Devil, snorting fire and birthstone out
of his nostrils, and putting out black smoke all
round, and pantin, and heavin, and swellin,
and chawin up red hot Goals like they was
good. a fellow stood in a little house Ike,
feedin him all the time but the more he blow
ed and snorted. After spell the feller catch
ed him by the tail, and great Jerico! he set
up yell that split the ground for more'n
mile and half, and the next mint felt my
leggs a waggin, and found myself at tother
end of the string o. vehickles. l wasn't skecr-
cd, but had three chills and stroke of palsy
in less than five minits, and my face had Gu
rious brownish-y yellcr- green-bueish color in it,
which was perfectly unaccountable. "Well,"
says I, sscomment is super: :fRous-" And l
took a seat in the nearest wagin, or car, asthey
call it-a consarned long steamboat lookin
thing, with string of pews down each side.
big enough ID hold about a man and half
Just as I sat down, the hoss hollered twice,
and started Off like streak, pitcher me head
first into the stomach of big Irish woman,
and she gave TREMENDOUS grunt and then
ketchd me by the head and crammed me un-
der the seat; and when ! got out and stagger-
ed to another seat, the cars was q jumpin and
tearin along nigh onto forty thousand miles u
mint, and everybody was a bobbin up and
down like mill saw, and every wretch OF 'em
had his mouth wide open and lookin like they
was larfin, but couldn't hear nothin, the cars
kept such rackit. By and by it stopped all
at once. and then such another larfin busted
out o. them passengers as l never heard be-
fore. Latin at me too, that's what made me
mad as thunder, too. l ris up, and Shakin my
| fist at 'em, says /, s'Ladies and gentlemen
| look a-herc I'm peaccable stranger and
away the dern train went like small pox was
| in town, jerking me down in the seat with 8
whack like I'd been thrown from the moon
and their cussed months tapped open and the
| fellers went to bobbin up and down again.
put on an air of magnanimous contempt like,
and took no more notice of 'em, and very nat
urally went to bobbin up and down myself"

ded to furnish with princoly disregard of ex-
pense. His furniture was of carved rosewood /;
his silver plate filed large iron safe; he had
vases in his parlor, some of which cost from
$3.50 to $500 a pair. On Sundays he used to
dine off silver, and would sometimes, even
when alone hire brass band of twelve musi-
clans to play in the house. He kept from ten
to dozen servants, and two dogs, one weigh
ing one hundred and fifty and the other two
pounds-the latter costing $50. His riding
B,lls averaged from $50 to S100 month, and
sometimes ran up to Sl2 a day. He owned
six or eight carriages of different styles and
several spans of horses at time, one Of
which cost nearly $4,000. His Broadway tai
lor's bill was from 5000 to $500 for the past
year, in the course OF which he bought from
25 to 80 pair OF pants, to 10 coats, and Is to
20 vests, all the highest-priced articles. 9th
er furnishings and toilet articles were purchas-
ad in abundance and costliness to match. He
seldom asked the price of anything, often did
not wait for change, however large it might
be, and would give large perquisites to his
grooms lof whom he had four and others who
waited upon him. He was not economical
even in religion, but owned several high-pric-
ed pews in churches of different denomina-
tions. 70 man ever smoked so much; he was
scarcely ever seen without cigar in his
mouth and made away with from 80 to 40 a
day. His expensive tastes followed him into
the Tombs, where he ate the most sumptuous
meals, frequently paying a dollar piece for
pears for his dissert. On the trial, the exqui-
site dressing of hair and the sumptuousness Of
attire provoked constant remarks from spec
tators.
Such is the history of Huntington's life as
it appears on the evidence, mostly introduced
by his counsel, in answer to an indictment
charging him with willful forgery.

Fer the Rqtisman's Journal.

Mr.. EDITOR OF JOURNAL Let me call the
attention of your young readers TO some of the
principles of syntax, too commonly neglected.
In writing, words should always be connect
ed according TO their proper relation to other
words, as GA pair of new boots" not new
pair of boots, for it is not the pair that is
but the boots. Now let me give you some
specimens OF the violation of the above prn-
ciple. This error is sometimes made to appear
more glaring from want of correct punctua-
ton. a writer, giving history of the inau-
guration of new Hospital building in New
Y ork, says :-ssAn extensive view is presented
from the fourth story of the Hudson river"
There must have been quite flood in the
Hudson river, to be four stories high. But put
a comma after fourth story, and it will read,
s1An extensive view is presented from the
fourth story, of the Hudson rver.' But how
much better is this: ssAn extensive view of
the Hudson river is presented from the fourth
story (of the building.)
An editor of New Orleans paper, in speak
ing of a mad dog, says 1--WE grieved to
say that the rabid animal, before he could be
killed had bitten DR.. Hart and sererai other
Dogs Was DR.. Hart one of the dogsl Now
put comma after DIR. Hart and it will read a
little better, but it is better still to say, eve
are grieyed to say, that the rabid animal, be-
fore it could be killed, had bitten several 9TH
er dogs, and DR.. Hart
y New York paper, announcing the wreck
ing Of vessel near the Narrows, says, 'sThe
only passengers were T. 3. Nathan, who own
ed three -fourths of the cargo and the captains
rife.'' Quite slave holder, one would Judge;
but put a comma after cargo, and supply a pa
renthess, thus, and the is good 'sThe
only passengers were 7. B. Nathan, (who
owned three-fourths Of TIE cargo), and the
captains wife 80 but better still, ssTbe only
passengers were the captains wife, and T. B.
Nathan, who owned three -fourths of the cargo.''
The editors of a western paper observe:
''The poem which we publish in this weeks
Herald was written by an esteemed friend, who
has lain many years in the grave for has olen
amusement" Rather strange amusement.
comma after grave, IN the above sentence,
would mend it, but it should be written, ''The
poem which we publish in this weeks Herald,
was written for his own amusement by an es-
teemed friend, who has lain many years III the
grave.''
The editor of an eastern paper expresses
great Indignation at the manner in which 4
woman. who had committed suicide, had been
buried, He says, ssShe was buried like dog
,cith her clothes on.'' You will mend it little,
bJ putting comma after dog, but il would Be
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1857-02-18

/ better thus: s.She, with her clothes on, was
buried like dog.''
Now correct the following advertisement
from country newspaper;
ssThe scoundrel who took the canary rith a
rug nose, red face and light orercoaf on, is re-
quested to return it immediately TO rs Willow
street, as the bird is valuable one from ,rho,n
no questions usH be asked"
Another ludicrous advertisement:
ssLost, brown mich COW. the property of a
farmer ugiM ,rhfte SPOT the quarters, long
straight horns and the tail tipped Nth 'iifs.
Any person having seen such an animal With
out delay, viii please return it to-" &C., &c.
The above is quite funny farmer.
Tony Gowan adrertises that he has lost ga
pig with very long tail, and black spot on
its snout that crrIs up behiad.''
Paddy Malone advertises q cow which is
ssvery difficult to milk, and OF no use to any
one but the owner ,oho had one horn n,uch lon-
ger than Me otkcr.''
Sheriff advertises John Hawkins as hav-
ing ssA pair Of blue eyes ,oih little no lrhis-
lsers, and a Roman nose that has great difficulty
in looking any one in the face"
Betsey atterton is advertised as having Ao-
sconded with chest faH Of dratcers and a cock
and hen, has red hair and broken tooth none
Of lchicb are her olrn."
The manager of the Savings Bank at Dun
ferry. near Goodfowren, is advertised in these
terms :-s.Had on when last seen, q pair of
corduroy trowsers ,oih tremendous squinf ra-
her The ieorse for the icear.'
twill ha rleasant arnuseTnent for vo,,rvounp

TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

Oh what happiness, what brightness,
In life's charming scenes appear,
When we meet kind words and actions,
And we feel they are sincere
When the smiles of friendship greet Us,
Aud we know that they are true,
What greater charm hath this fair world
To offer me or you
With the beaming sky above us,
And the lovely earth beneath,
WI; the music of the ocean,
Ind the flower-enamel'd d heath
With these beauteous scenes of Nature,
What more cheering would you ask,
Than the glance that speaks affection,
From the heart without a mask2
For pure truth Is such jewel,
Oh . so precious and so raro,
That it seems spark from heaven
Seldom lent to mortal care;
When we meet it in earth friendships,
Let US prize its holy might,
For it comes unto our spirits,
Like an angel winged with light

KANSAS ITEMS.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat,
writing from Lecompton, Kansas, Jan. 80, says,
The spurious Legislature have been trying for
some time to have the Governor commission
drunken fellow named Sherrard, as Sheriff OF
Douglass County, in place of Jones, who
has resigned. The Executive refused to- it,
and various attempts have been made to force
him, but all have proved failure. He was
firm in his determination never to give
drunkard commission 10 act as an official in
this Territory.
Consequently the Legislature have passed
an act repeating that portion OF the statute
comforting such power upon the Governor,
have taken the matter into their own hands,
and Sherrard is SHERIFF of Douglas county, ac-
cording to their decree, and in spite of Geary.
Some gentlemen, who had known Sherrard
in Virginia, we're in the Office of the Governor,
and during their conversation, they stated that
the new 'Sheritii was poor worthless fellow,
dishonest, and treated his wife so badly that
she compelled to leave him. DIR. Brook,
of this city, happened to repeat the above con-
versation in the presence of one of Sherrards
friends, who Immediately communicated tho
same to his master. The result was 4 chal-
lenge sent to the Doctor s'to fight duel.''
The Doctor sent back word that she would on
~ fight with gehtlemen.'' So Immediately
Sherrard had some bills printed and posted the
Doctor ''liar, villain, and coward But
the Doctor has too nice sense of honor to
take any notice of the fellow, and so the mat
ter will be allowed to pass. And the new
Sheriff will soon be dispatched 70 Lawrence
to get.up a row.
This is the most intemperate town l wasev-
or in, nearly every building contains whis-
ky shop. On my way ont OF town to-day met
three wagons. One of them had eight barrels
of -four, the other two, sixteen barrels of whis-
key in about that proportion are the two ar
ticles used in Lecompton.
The control OF the navigation of the Kaw
river is expected TO be in the hands of pro-sla-
very men in about the same way. a compa-
ny made up of all the members of the Legis-
lafure, will be Incorporated, having exclusive
privileges to that thoroughfare. No encour-
agement viii be given to any other parties to
navigate that river, and free State men cannot
avail themselves Of any favors from that body.
And so it goes. The most complete system
of oppression is being established in Kansas
by the border ruffans, backed 10y the general
government.
