A Humorous Incident.

A laughable incident occurred recently,
not many miles from Dansville, the circum-
stances Of which are related BY the Daily
Herald Of that village, as follows: An old
farmer, who had handsome daughters, was
so cautious Of his charge that he would not
permit them to keep the company Of young
men. However, they adopted the following
expedient to enjoy the company Of their
lovers. After the old man had retired to
rest, the girls would hang sheet out Of the
window, and the beaux would seize hold of
it and with the assistance Of bis lady love,
would thus gain entrance. 1t so happened
that one evening the girls hung out the sheet
too early, for the old gentleman, by some i'll
wind, was accidently around the corner, and
spying the sheet, could not conjecture the
meaning of its being there. So he caught
hold and endeavored to pull it down; the
girls supposing it to be one of their fellows.
began to hoist, and did not discover the mis-
take until the old mans head was level with
the window sill, when one of them exclam-
ed "Oh Lord, It's dad!" and, letting 60 the
sheet, down came the old gentleman on the
ground, dislocating one shoulder, which con-
vinced him that to make old maids Of his
daughters was a matter not so easily accom-.
plished; and withdrawing all further oppo
sition to their keeping company, he was soon
father in-law.

Seward Deserved His Fate.

The Marysville Democra, thinks that the
letter Of Greeley, severing his connection
with the firm Of Seward, Weed Il Greeley,
is straight forward, manly document and
that the editor of the Tribune did right in
defeating the ingrate. The Democrat says:
VIM. ii. Seward was defeated N the grand
hope of his life, nomination for the Presi.
dency, by the editor who had devoted tie
energies of powerful mind, long and faith
fully, to his elevation, but who went forgot
ten and unrewar led. He deserved his fate,
and so does every man who fails to remem-
Der that the press, with its silent, plodding,
patient driver Of the pen behind it, and its
pale workers at the ease" is a power IN the
land Greeley did not torsake his principles.
(for these he still advocates) but he did for.
sake an migrate to personal friendship and
the devotion of years of toll and service

CARRYING Goals TO NEwcAsrLE.-Pork
is going back to New York. We find the
following in the Bulletin's commercial ar
tce:
"The ship Vitula, of Moore & FoIgers
line, for New York, is taking on board 100
barrels and 800 half barrels of pork, being
tho bare commencement Of like leturn ship.
,nents of an article so superabnndantv and
unnecessarily forced upon us by eastern
srecula,ors, who are 10th to believe that We
are of ourselves able to raise nearly IL sutti
cheney of meats for the supply Of our own
wants; thus rendering us, in great degree !,
quite independent Of our eastern friends.
From present appearances, we should judge
that Eastern New York shippers who are
largely engagrd in sending pork, bacon and
wliskey to this market, would probably re-.
aize better returns on tho same, and sooner
obtain the cash thereon, by sending it to-
Cincinnati. Ohio.

ORIoIN OF ALMANAos.-Ve Vestegan, allu
ding to our ancient Saxon ancestors, says:
'rhey used to engrave upon certain squared
sticks about foot in length, the courses of
the moons Of the whole year, whereby they
could always certainly tell when the new
moons tho full moons and the change
should happen, as also their festival days;
and such carved stick they called an al
mon.aght; that is to say, 'al-mon-heed;' to
w.t. the regard or observation of all the
moons; and hence is derived the name of al
manac." After the invention Of printing,
Alnanacs became genes ally in use. The
first recorded accouut IN this country Of al
almanac is in the year Book Of Henry the
Seventh.

LAST WoRDs OF Two CHEF JUSTICES
Chief Justice Parsons, during his last illness,
was unconscious most Of the time. After a
suspense of all speech SO long that his family
thought they should never lear his voice
again, he suddenly revived, and with perfect
dis,inctness, spoke for the last time on earth
that formula which he had used hundreds Of
times: "Gentlemen Of the Jury, the case is
closed and in your hands You will please
to retire and agree upon your verdict Lord
Campbell, in his life of Lord Chief Justice
Tenterdom, reports that the last words Of
that eminent jurist were, sand now, gentle
men of the jury. you will consider your YER
dict" The similarity of the last words of
these learned chief justices is remarkable.

dition of distant Territories, or the sv6erings
Of the servile class in our neighboring States.
The sympathy thus devoted to alien and
distant objects has been wasted, so far as
practical results are regarded has been
productive of evil consequences to the very
class in whose behalf it has been invoked.
But greater evils have still fallen on the peo-
pie Of our own State, who neglected their
affairs in order TO criticize those of their
neighbors in the coniederacy, and AS II con-
sequence, they must wait the exactons of the
tax gatherer and give up their har savings
to make good the waste and ruin of evil gov
