up game Of "sevcn up in Rome, last week,
and desired secret room to play in, was ad-
mirably accommodated at the suggestion Of cur
City Marshall, Col. Stewart. The gamcstcr
expressed his want in the presence Of Colonel
s., who is bit Of a way and loves a practical
joke as well as any one, and he gave slight
wink to the person inquired of, and at the same
time handed him the key Of the Callaboose.
The contract was soon made for the Use Of n
small office, Of which the gentleman at that
time had the control, takes the gamcstrr and
lis friends to the Callahoosc-opcn the door
and just then happens to think that he has
ne matches, and lie requests the young novice
to remain there until he can 60 and get them.
This lie consents to do, and they ain step out
and lock the door after them, and leave him
there to play Solitaire in the dark. until next
morning We hope this game will prove to be

The Postal Bill.

The House Postal Committee have authoriz-
ed bill to be reported for the mail service
between the Atlantic and Pacific States. 1t
directs the Postmaster General to advertise for
proposals to carry the entire mail overland from
such point on the Mississippi or Missouri river
as the bidders may select and by such route as
they may designate to San Francisco. The
letter mail, and all printed matter on which
letter postage is prepaid, to go through in
twenty days. and to start from each terminus
semi-wcekly. The newspaper mail is to leave
weekly and go through in thirty days.
1t is proposed to supply Denver City and
Salt Lake City by branch lines, weekly, from
the main stem, for which proposals will also be
solicited.
The bids are to be received up to the lst
Nav, and then to be submitted to Congress for
acceptance orrcjection. The contracts, if made
are to run three years from the lst July next.
Bids for more Or less frequent service will
also be received. Bids are also to be invited
to carry the entire mail by the water route
from New York and New Orleans, scmi-weekly
and weekly.
The Committee believe that the bids, when
submitted to Congress, will show that half a
million of dollars can be annually saved in this
single item of the public service. The ncwspa-
per mail now goes scmi-monthy Via Panama.
COLD FROM DAMP CLoTuEs.-If the clothes
which cover the body are damp, the moisture
which they contain has tendency to cvapo-
rate by the heat communicated to it by the,
body. The heat absorbed in the evaporation
of the moisture contained in the clothes must
be, in part supplied by the body, and will have
a tendency to reduce the temperature Of the
body in an undue degree, and thereby to pro-
duce cold The effect of violent labor or exer-
else is to cause the body generate heat much
faster than it would do in a state Of rest
Hence We see why, when the clothes have been
rendered wet by rain or pcrspiration, the ta-
king of cold may be prevented by keeping the
body in state nf exercise or labor till the
clothes can be changed Or till they dry on the,
person for in this case the heat carried off by.
the moisture incorporating is amply supplied
by the redundant hcat generated by labor or
exercise. 80

progress. The Newburyport Herald says the
strike is not as extensive as some Of the publish

are more than 10000 shocmakers in Mas.

not 10000 lave struck Or intendto. In Natick
500 men have ceased work; in Marblehead as
many more, and in Lynn probably the MAORI
ty Of the worknen. There was talk Of strike
in HayerhlI, but it did not come of. In Sails
bury, it was reported that 500 were in the
movement Tut everything is qtict there. In
NewLuryport, so far as known, not one man
hes stopped who has work to do. The boot
makers OF Milford, Bridgcwater, and all those
towns in Plymouth and Bristol counties, are
unmoved, as yet, by the Lynn manifestation.
