The Franklin Citizen, Of the 9th
ult,, has the following: "About five
miles from this place, near where the
Pittsburgh road crosses Sandy Creek. a
singular discovery was made by a Mr..
Mason. While hunting bees he noticed,
under some rocks, buffalo robe, and
other evidences Of. the presence of some
animals less laborious and less honest
than those he was in search Of. Being
somewhat frightened. be called others,
who, after some search, discovered Jew
elry Of different kinds, worth in all, about
one hundred dollars. In addition to this,
pair Of boots and pantaloons, vest.
cravat and fine coal, were picked up near
the jewelry depot The circumstance
induced ten Of the adjacen. citizens to
repair 10 the spot and lay in wait that
night for the return Of the depositors,
but through The imprudence Of kndling
fire after night, nothing was effected.
In dispersingNext morning, sack of
-four, three freshly dressed chickens and
a blanket, were found unconcealed, as
though they he'd been hastily left. Sew

FWhen the American Colonies shook
off the Government of Great Britain, and
adopted liberal form of National policy,
,he civilized world enquired, "what has
been the cause of this great revolution :"
The answer was, Taxation without Re-
presentation !" and the world was satis-
fed with the answer. When the inquiry
is now made, "why is it, that during the
great pressure of the times, when one
large firm after another is being driven to
the wall, Frohman & Co., still continue
to do ffourishing business in their ex.
tensiye Clothing Establishment on the
corner Of Sd and Market Streets :" The
answer is, "They have a large and well
selected stock of Ready Made Clothing,
and sell remarkably cheap" The answer
is satisfactory. and all flock to Frohman's
with the exception of those who are so
unwise as to stay away-make their pur-
chases, and return home satisfied with
their bargains. Thepeople are delighted.
Frohman feels comfortable, and everything
moves on harmoniously. .u

WELL PuNIsHED.--Not long ago in
neighboring city, as butcher stood in
his stall selling meat, he saw man stoop
down and pick something up. "What
have you got there! % asked the butcher.
The fellow said, sit looks like money"
On examination it proved to be len
dollar bill. II suppose" aid'tbe butcher,
otis one I dropped little while ago in ma
king change" To which the finder re.
plied-'I think ought to have one half,
for had it not been for me you would
never have seen it again." The butcher
knowing i, was not his bill, thought he
could do no less than comply with the
fellows request; he therefore took five
dollar bill out of his pocket book and gave
it 10 him, taking the ten himself. Soon
the butcher was purchasing some goods
in store, and offered the bill in payment
to the store keeper, who pronounced it to
be counterfeit.
The butcher was surprised and not
over well pleased; but on considering,
thought the best thing he could do would
be to stow the ten dollars away in a safe
place, and say nothing about the way he
had overreached himself.

singular Marriage in Paris.

A charmingly proper note of invitation
to ball was received, not long since, by
Monsieur Gaillard, handsome and agree.
able batchelor Of twenty Eve. With Ba.
ron A. the giver of the ball, he was
not aware that be had the honor of ac-
quainiancs; but supposing, as was fte.
quently the case, that some kind female
friend had taken pains to procure the in-
vitation for him, he left his card with his
acceptance. at the Baron's door the next
morning. according to etiquette; and on
the appointed evening, presented himself
with the fashionable crowd.
Expecting, that, in the course Of his
prOmenades about the rooms, he should
meet the friend to whose kindness he was
indebted, he thought to begin the evening
properly by asking the daughter of his
host-to whom he made his bow on enter.
ing, led up by the master Of ceremonies
for the first quadrile.
Accepted as partner, and CHANGING to
dance and demean himself with peculiar
elegance, he made unexpected progress
in the acquaintance. and ventured a few
dances after 10 ask her hand again.
Once more upon the floor with Made
mOiselle d'A-, and the music changed
suddenly to a waltz, he again was favor

She was borne around by him, as if buoy

looking charmingly.
BneAy-that ball was the "ball set II
notion" for Monsieur GaiIlard! He
called, of course, TO pay his respects ;
few days afterwords, and was graciously
received. On the wholly unexplained
mystery OF his being invited, both parIie,
delicately forbore to turn the inquiry. l
would explain itself in due time, ant
meantime he was an agreeable young mai
entirely CONNIE IL faut in dress, manne
and conversation.
The proposal was made.
It was blushingly accepted. -
Monsieur Gaillard stated his respecIa
bili,ies of birth and connection, and tina
! was enough-for the Baron could wei
give his daughter fortune where ono
, her heart had gone before.
The day Of signing contract and paper
. came round.
: "By the way" said the Baron, afte
E all was arranged, "my daughters destin
