THE TEXAS TRouBLEs.-It would appear from the fol-
lowing extract from the New Orleans Pcayune, that the
idea OF freedom for the slave, in any other than merely
lcenous sense has been entertained by the

which the Texas papers have been loaded no evil

"The Undersigned members Of the Thirty-Grst Con-

THE HOLIDAYS

"Shoot folly as it flies"
Hoorah Clear the track Git out of
the road The Holidays are here
Yes, the Holidays-which is the season
of turkeys, and mince-pies, and lots of good
living, and cider, and something warmer
and stronger, and cutters and 2:4Os, and
gals tween the bufaloes, of Fun, JOY,
Mirth and Cheerfulness-the HOLIDAYS
are here
Old 1860, with his time-worn and fur
rowed head, is about to yield up his Hour
Glass and Scythe to his successor.
The dying of a year is calculated to
awaken emotions Of anything but pleas
ing nature. 1t brings to view the fact
that we have passed another landmark in
the path of Life--that we have lessened
the distance to the dread Tomb by anoth-
er step. 1t conjurcs up before us visions
Of broken hopes and blighted affections.
How fit, then, that it should take its exit
when all are engaged in scenes of Hospi-
tality and Rejoicing.
Old go has been a good year to US
When it takes its eternal departure for
the land of the Forgotten, its last linger-
ing lool, will be cast on scenes of Prosper
ity and Plenty. 1t will behold our barns
and garners filed to overhowing with the
plenteous harvest, and ourselves at peace
with God and man.
Let US hope that 81 will be as replete
in blessings for us all.
Farewell Old welcome New.
But scrlnonizing and moralizing avaunt !,

idavs are come. Shake off the accumu-

Now for our Minor Triumph.
We know with what gusto everything
pertaining to antiquity is seized upon by
the public. When the antiquatel thing
has reference to anything of national
character, We also know that the gusto be-
comes almost Unsuitable. Upon this hint
we have acted Some time since we char
tered the services Of an eminent arch@ol-
ogist, who, after very intricate searching
and much laborious labor, was SO success
full rs to make a startling discovery. He,
in fact, was 50 extremely and essentially
lucky as to unearth from its long hiding
place O bonnet which at one time belonged
to and was worn by Lady Washington,
the wife of General George! This is d
prodigious Turn Up for the present gen

computed without an enlargement on the
MULTIPLICATION table, we have had 1t en-
graved, and here present it to the consld-
Grafton of patriotic public-accompanied,
