FoRTY YoUso LADIES AND THE BARREL
OF FLouR.-One day last week, a merchant
in Gardiner Me-, offered to give barrel Of
Hour TO Rev. Charles Blake, a Baptist minis
ier in that city, provided the young ladies
would haul it to him. To this they consent
ed, and having obtained a small pair, of
trucks, the barrel of -four was placed there
on, and about forty Young ladies took hold
of the ropes, and drew the barrel about half
q mile up one of the steepest hills IN Gardi-
ner to the ministers house. The Gardiner
band headed the procession, and played some
excellent music.
A NrcE.YoUNe MAN.-Mr. lFurniss. the
young gentleman involved sin the Mrs.
Woodman affair, the Police Gazette saws,
rs very snowy and tidy in his dress and
never fails at night, before retiring, to put
his pautaloons in a stretcher. This is 10

IT is said that some of the members Of the
Cabinet do not agree with the President in
his determination TO stop Gen. Walkersin
his course, and that one of them has written
a letter to friend in the. South, in which he
intimates tnat he may be under the necessi
~ of coming out with letter defining his
position on this question, or perhaps even of
resigning his seat in the Cabinet The
friends of Walker say that two members of
the Cabinet and twenty-five of the Southern
Senators are opposed to any interference
against him.
ANOTHER CnURoH SLAvERY AGITATION.
The Northern branch of the Methodist Epis.
copal Church has, for some time, been the
arena of an incipent slavery agitation,
which now seems 10 be taking formidable
shape. In the Rochester Democrat we find
a report Of an anti.slavery convention of
clerical and lay delegates from the East
Genesee, Genesee, Black River, Oneida and
Wyoming Conference of that church, the
speakers at which seemed disposed to push
their views 10 extremes at whatever cost.

AprEARANcE AND REALIrY.-The editor
of the Louisville Journal pens the following
paragraph:
Except to a few practised observers, the
personal aspects of men seldom announce
their real quality. The most daring and
unconquerable wills often lie concealed be
meath an almost girlish exterior while many
burly fellows, who look as if they might be
the dynamic sentries of the universe, can't
draw long breath without leaning against
a post"

THAT'S So.-Mr. Walton, in the Ohio
