The Boston Transcript assures the public
that the patriotic ladies Of the Mount Yer
non Association read their title clear to
the WASHINGTON estate. They have, says
that journal, acted from the beginning of
their enterprise under the direction Of emf
nent gentlemen of the legal profession, and
there will be no difficulty whatever about
the title. 1t adds that "JoHN A. WASH
ING has performed one generous act in pre-
senting to the Mount Vernon fund the sum
of 81 ,22s Is, bling the proceeds of the
Mount Vernon steamboat trips for the past
year"

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

GooDR1oH. And that, we venture to say,
with all proper respect, is not a question
which can be determined by any leg
islative body. The Constitution of the
State has made the Courts the only
tribunals before which the validity or
invalidity of contracts can be reviewed.
Before these tribunals Mr.. GOODRICH is
perfectly willing that any matter touching
this printing contract may be investigated !;
and these tribunals are fortunately open to
all parties who may feel themselves in any
way aggrieved. This contract was awarded
to Mr.. GOODRICH in August, 1858; and
when the first symtom of dissatisfaction was
manifested at the award in his favor, he
publicly invited any and all the competing
bidders to test the propriety and legality of
such award, by an amicable suit IN the
Courts pledging himself at that time that
be would interpose no obstacles in the way
of speedy decision. Fifteen months have
elapsed without any of the parties interested
having taken any legal step to vindicate any
violated right. He now repeats both the
invitation and the pledge. If any man has
better legal right to the contract for the
public printing, binding, and advertising,
than he has, it is fact which can be deter
mined before the Judge of this or some other
district within a weeks time. And he
pledges himself further, that, if any of the
competing bidders, availing themselves of
this invitation, shall receive verdict in his
favor, he will pay all the reasonable costs of
the case-attorney's fees and all. If this
offer is not acted upon, he expects on the
grounds of private as well as public decency,
to be permitted quietly, and without annoy
ance, to carry out his obligations to the
State under his contract with it, and to
receive at the hands of the Representatives
of the people of the State, fair and courteous
treatment

PAYING FOR HIS PRovENDER BY PRAY ING.-We have no intention of making fu1 of serious matters in publishing the follow ing story-we merely give the fact:
 There is a rule in Oberlin College that no student shall board at any house where prayers are not regularly made each day A certain man fitted up boarding hous and filled 1t with boarders, but forgot, un til the eleventh hour, the prayer proviso. Not being praying man himself, he look ed round for one who was. At length h. found one-a meek young man from Trum bull county, who agreed to pay for h. board in praying.
 For a while all went smoothly, but tn boarding master furnished his table so poor ly that the boardels began to grumble an leave, and the other morning the pravin boarder actually "struck." Somethip like the following dialogue occurred at tn table:
 Landlord-Will you pray, MT. Mild.

MUSK IN A BACKwoODs MICHIGAN IA vERN-THE LANDLORD SMELLS SOMETHING.
 A short time since gentleman and lady were travelling i'll Michigan, and having missed the stage, were compelled to take a private conveyance from the town of Scu- deri to Thomastown. The lady had with her beautiful little lap dog, which she carried on her lap on an embroidered mat. During the ride the husband discovered that he had no handkerchief, when, the lady lent him hers, which was fashionably scented with musk. About half way be- tween the two towns the carriage broke down in the midst of a hard rain, and they were obliged to take refuge in the halfway house-a '' one e-horse" log tavern, consist ing of two rooms-a bar room and lodg- ing room. The lady laid her lap dog on its mat before the fire, and herself and husband took seats.
 In a short time the gentleman had an oc- casion to use his handkerchief, and took 1t out, leaving 1t lying on his knee when he got through with 1t. In few moments the landlord opened the door, put his head in, looked around, went out, came in, gazed at the dog-his nostrils all the while up- turned in intense disgust. He finally ap- peared satisfied, went to the outside door, opened it, came back with bound, seized the lap dog by the tail, and hurled hin bowling through the open door fully ten rods into the forest. The wife tainted; anC the husband rose to his feet, terribly en- ragged, and wanted to know what he did that for. "That's my dog," continued he furiously. Don't care a cuss whose dog it is,' said the man, gruhy and impetu- ousy; {" ain't going to have no such blasted smelling varmint around my ts- vern." The husband and wife yacatel th 3 house instantly, and proceeded on the way in the rain.

A Baron Manchausen at Pike's Peak


 About the tallest specimen of lying that has lately come under our observation, we copy from an exchange. It is as follows: Young gentlemen afflicted with Pike's Peak fever, will be interested in the follow ing statement from reliable gentleman in the new Fl Dorado, of the manner of ga thering gold in the diggings. A man makes hevy frame work of timbers, built like stone boat, the bottom of which is composed of heavy iron rasps This frame work is hoisted up to the top of the Peak, and the man gets on and slides down the side of the mountain. As he goes swiftly down the rasps on the bottom of the frame work scrape off the gold in immense sha- wings, which chrl up on to the machine, and by the time the man gets to the bottom, nearly ton of gold is following him. lhls IS the common manner of gathering it. Another plan is to bore hole in the side of the mountain, and fill 1t with coal and bitumen. A rousing fire is then built and the ploprietors sit around and "blow it." Shortly the gold begins to soften and melt, when quickly stream of mol
