The above which we clip from a Boston pa
per is Illustrative of one remarkable phase in
the character and conduct of the modern Athen-

hub Of the wheel, the center of the system
If money is wanted to establish any institution
that will promote the prosperity or convenience
of her inhabitants, to endow any part of her
great university, (for Cambridge and Boston
are morally and socially one,) or to found
any great and noble charity the merchant prin.
ces of that city put their hands in their pock-
ets' with prodigality that really astonishes
those living without the charmed circle. If
Boston has pet, either politically or socially, or
any sort of pet, that favorite is to be sustain

either Mount Vernon or the Washington Mon

and been deemed part of their inheritance as

the money for the founding of such an institu-
ton have been raised so readily as in Massa-
chusetts and in Boston.

HENs.--Persons living in villages where
their neighbors wishto cultivate garden or raise
flowers, can hardly do anything more annoying
than to allow their hens to range freely in their
neighbours gardens, destroying in few mo-
ments the work of days, and in some instances
destroying plants that have been years attaining
their present growth.
We believe that man should never allow
himself to be angry, but we should like to see
one that could look upon the devastations fire.
quently made in gardens by flock of hens, and
not get little "riled." We contend that it
should not be considered a breach of good man.
ners or neighborly kindness, for persons thus
annoyed by their neighbor's hens to shoot them
1t would be much cheaper for some of them,
even if they had to pay for the hens. Our ad-
vice to all who keep hens and wish to live peacea-
bly, with their neighbors, is to keep them at
home.-HauerhW Gazette

EXPENSES OF THE WHITE HousE.-Much
has been said OF the large expenses connected
with the White House, and the cost of keepinp
up the dignity of the presidents position
There never was n greater mistake. Mr. Buch-
anan must save at least 81 900 wear from his
salary, as will be readily seen BY a comparison
with his more recent predecessors, most of
whom retired with very comfortable provision.
MIR Tyler is believed to have carried away $780,
600 or $4,000 MIR Polk took home a much
larger sum. Mr. Fillmore, who served some
thing over two Years and a half, was quite up
to the mark of Mr. Tyler and Mr. Pierce. who
lived more Hospitality and generously than eth
er of those named, saved about S30. 1000. All
these presidents incurred some expenses from
which MIR buchanan is entirely exempt The
White House is now heated and lighted entire
~ at the public charge. A large kitchen gar
den is cultivated which furnishes all the vcce-
tables required, and more. A fine greenhouse
has been added, which is found both useful and
ornamental. Just before the inauguration of
Mr. Buchanan, the private secretary Of the pres
ident was made a salaried office, with $1,000
per annum, and clerkship attached to it. The
steward who was previously paid out of the
presidents private purse, was also salaried at
Sl20O year, and messengers were added, to
reduce the outlay for servants. The only seri
GUS cost now incurred is for the official dinners
during the sessions of Congress, and it is well
known that Mr. Buchanan has been prudent he
yond all example in this respect His ordinary
household consists of three or four persons and
the servants, and there are fifty gentlemen in
the city who maintain more style and spend
more money without any appearance of extrav-
agance. Mr. Buchanan has always been care
full manager, and now finds plenty of time to
examine his market book, amid all the cares of

HEADS OFr.-The Troy Budgct says that
John Cain has been removed from the Post Of
flee at Rutland, and that one McDoniels has
been appointed his successor. The adminstra-
ton axe fell thus ruthlessly because Cain is sus-
pected of entertaining the notion that Douglas
is yet something of democrat. Rumors have
been rife in the reg;cn of Burlington tina, Col
lector Bowdish would be called upon to lay
down the official "shoyel and de hoe" the ad-
ministration having mo more hard work for
him to do on account of his Douglas procliv-
ties. If the wedding out process is thoroughly
carried TO the extent of removing all democrats
from office who do not think and say that Buch-
anan is the fittest man in all the country to be
President, there will be but precious few left
Our neighbor of the Argus will have to fill a
large proportion of the offices.

THE CENSUS OF OREGoN.-The census of
Oregon, says the Statesman, in the main pretty
fully taken, during the past years, the poll-lsts,
and the vote cast at our elections, do not per-
init the belief that there are to exceed $4,000
or 10000 white inhabitants in Oregon. In 1860
the census will be taken by the United States
authorities, and, making allowance for whatever
may take place between now and then, we are
willing to risk the judgment that we have, at
the very highest, not more than 1900. We
wish we did have 10000 or 100000 the addi
tional $4,000 or $4,000 would "help OUT amaz-
ingly in supporting State government

GLOOMY VIEWS or PIKEs PFAK.-A com.
pany OF thirty returning miners arrived at Ne
br"sA" City last week, who cgree in a bad re.
port OF the mines. They say tho miners are
discouraged, that there is great restitution and
suffering among them, and that hundreds would
gladly return if they had the means to do so.-
Nebraska city is flooded with men from the
East, who went there expecting 10 work their
way to the mines, and they are glad to work
for board and lodging.
Many of those who started for the mines too
early in the season endured the sufferings pre-
dicted for them. 4 letter from Florence. Ne
braska, of the 18th ult., gives an account of the
suiierings of one of these early parties:
Some persons returned yesterday from their
Pixies Peak trip, who left Florence in Februa-
ry. They composed one of the first hand-cart
trains which started from that place About 10
miles beyond fort kearney they were overtaken
by snow storm. The wind blew so hard they
had to tie poles to the cart-wheels to keen the
carts from blowing over. The tents were blown
down, and 1t seemed almost impossible for the
suffering men to stand on their feet against the
blast. The snow piled upon them in masses.
and for thirtyeight hours they were buried in
the drifts. All the company had their hands
and feet frozen, or partially so. The snow was
four or five feet deep. SO soon as they could
the company retraced their steps"
