STORY OF A LEG.-There lived in Pittsburg, some
years ago. old fellow who served in the war Of lsl2
in which he had lost a leg. Before he enlisted he
courted young lady of that place. and knowing that
she would take whole man or none, he kept his hay
ing lost a leg secret, and replaced it by wooden
one. In his absence the lady had met with another
admirer SO that, on the return of Tmberleg he and
his rival were on terms of deadly enmity One Sun
day night Tmberleg went to see his love rather early,
with the intention of popping the question: and that
he might not shirk, had mbibed not little to give
him courage. The lady not being able to receive him,
he sat down in the parlor to await her coming But
the liquor proved too strong for him, and he had
scarcely sat down when he fell asleep. His rival
coming in at the moment, thought this an opportu-
nifty to satisfy his curiosity regarding Tmbers right
leg, which he had always regarded with suspicion.
So slipping up, he quietly slit the right leg Of Tim
bers pantaoons far as the knee, when at glance,
he saw all. To run for was the work OF o mo-
ment and in few minutes the leg was ealmy reposing
on the centerable its slnmbering unconscious
of the amputation. Meanwhile the whilom surgeon
had sloped When the lady entered the room, Tim
berleg was promenading it, after the manner of rur
key during the few moments of life succeeding decap

to PROCLAMATION, he cannot favor the reader with Tim
berlegs remarks. Suffice it to say that the ladys
mark, on entering the room, was +" Good heavens ~

PARTICULARS OF THE FIRE IN MoB1LE-We ex.
tract the following from the Mobile Register of Wed
nesday:
A very extensive conflagraton commenced yester-
day morning, just before O'clock in the cotton yard
at the corner OF Monroe and Royal Streets and known
as Sanford's" Attached to it, on the south side,
was the Relief Press warehouse and on the Royal
street front-for it extended all through to Water
was small private residence which caught fire, but
was happily extinguished by the activity of our gal
liant hremen. Both Sanfords and the Relief ware
houses were entirely destroyed with their contents,
which consisted of many valuable articles The larg-
est supply of hay in the city consisting of nearly four
Thousand bales, was destroyed-and the price rose
futwentyye per cent. in the course of half an hour
Of the quantity consumed 250O bales belonged to
Theo. Gnesnard Jr., who had just sold 600 bales to
Pomeroy Marshall Both these lots were insured
principally it is said, in the Merchants Company.
A lot of new carriages and bugges, belonging to
Caleb Price, Jr are not equally protected and some
300 or 400 barrels Of upcountry freight stored by j.
2. Rutland Co.. were lost, though we did not hear
if they were insured. m# l#t1
The Relief Press had an insurance in the Mobile
office.
During the fire sad accident occurred. The north
wall OF Sanfords FELL and buried beneath its ruins
Mr. Blount, ship-carpenter and an elderly man. All
thought he was killed but active eXertons restored
him to his home with only broken arm. The pro-
perty on which Sanford's was built has been sub
Jected to many changes OF price, ownership and ship
use, since Capt. Hugh Munroe first purchased the
site-then fully two-thirds under water. But the
river has been made to retreat since those days and
many great changes have been made. But the gal
liant Captain looked over the scene of confagratiOn

chased his " water lots"

The GREAT EAsTERN.-A recent number of the
Scientific American publishes full description of this
gigantic vessel which is expected to visit this coun
try sometime during the coming summer. The follow
ing paragraph gives brief but comprehensive idea of
its mammoth proportions:
If the very gigantic clipper ship Great Republic,
the mammoth steamship of war Niagara, and the
Collins steamer Adriatc-at this date the largest
steamship ahoat-were each to be fully loaded, and
then transferred bodily, with their loads into the hold
of the Great Eastern it would appear from the figures
that the whole would make but fair cargo for this
novel craft. ''

Fillmore, in appointing Brigham Young to the
Governorship Of Utah, did SO after consulting many
respectable persons in the several States among them
late DR.. Kane, the Arctic navigator Col Kane spent
many months in Utah, and at that time formed high
opinion of Brigham. 1t seems, however, that at the
lygamy was not ayowed by the Mormons, and if they
practiced it they did and concealed the fact from
the world They have since incorporated it in their
creed one of their leading articles and openly de-
fend it, and hence the just indignation which has
everywhere been expressed throughout the country.
1t is further stated that Brigham's nomination was
confirmed by the u s. Senate without the slightest
opposition.
