the riches Of the state. But poor AS these

be easier to find patriot rich enough to bny

ton makes this strange parody reality. He
says -

LauSlIablc Rebuff.

A correspondent of the New York Eceaiag
Post relates the following amusing incident
which happened to ex Senator Dickinson, while
be was examining a witness in court at Cortland;
A funny scene occurred in court here a day or
two since. Of which yonr friend Scripture Dick
was the hero. lie was acting as counsel IN
suit, the purpo,c which was to break the as-
signment of a Mr.. Sherman, OF Homer. The
counsellor found il pretty hard Shedding; he han
died the witnesses rather roughly, and made them
generally feel as il they would like to catch him
alone some day for few minutes behind the barn.
One of the number made the case, and incident
ally Dickinson behavior the subject Of conyer-
saton as he was riding home one evening, pend
ing the trial and next day was put upon the
stand and questioned as TO the pnrp0rt OF his
conversation. He told briefly what he said about
the case. The ex Senator asked what else he
said.
Witness Nothing else Of any consequence.
Dickinson What else did you say? Let 9th

A VAGRiNr PRoPuEr,--In an Atlantic paper,
says the Sacramento Age, we find the following
paragraph which we wrote to a friend, seven
years ago;
Attention will be turned to agriculture, and
the broad fertile plains that stretch away TO the
south, will be dotted over with farm houses,
where the squater has marked out the Inherit
ance of his children. The plOughshare will sub
