A BEAUTY.-A gentleman visited house
in Buffalo long enough to be recognized as
the affianced of a handsome young lady,
but he did not propose. One evening at
tea the anxious ma asked the gent when he
and Minnie were to be married; his eyes
stuck out a foot and he replied that he had
never thought of such an event. The mild
tempered little Minnie rose from the table
went to closet, returned with bottle of
vitriol and threw it in his face putting out
one of his eyes, destroying the looks of the
other and rendering him fright for life.
This is one of the leap year privileges
we suppose. Bad as the poor devil Jared
we would prefer the vitriol to the vixen.

following very cheering observations:
As all of the above candidates are in good

ator Douglas in reply to one of the ablest of
the Southern fire eaters. People talk lib
orally Of the dreadful" character of Mr..
Douglas Anti-invasion resolution but they
ought to read what he says before making
up their minds. Next week we will give
our readers the debate between Mr.. Douglas

is as able Republican as Mr.. Davis is a
Southron and if Stephen can handle them
both he'll do pretty well to send to the
