 CAPTURE OF FIVE VEssELs.-Thc storeshin Nightingale, which has arrived from the South ern Coast, has on board the oargocs of five yes sels captured by the steamer South Carolina, of New Orleans.

 Among the productions of Japan there is 8 blue tulip, which the Japanese call the 'love- producing fower," firmly believing that if g young man and a young woman exchange this talisman, with certain formalities, before twenty four hours are past they become deeply ena1nor- ed of each other. We know lots of two lips in this. vicinity that, through certain formalities, play the mischief with young peeple-and old ones too, for that matter.

WATERTOWN.

Anew and efectual mode of selling goods has
 lately been put in practice in this town with
 very good success. A pedler goes to good sub stantial farmer and says he will sell him coat nattern worth ten dollars for five, but he wishes him to take package of goods worth seventy
 five dollars on sale and give his note payable to order for the goods, he giving back writing agreeing to apply all goods not sold on the note which has four months to run. The farmer wants the coat pattern but he cannot get it, un- less he takes the whole, so he gives the note and away goes the peddler. In about four months Q gentleman calls and says he is from Boston, and is collecting for large Iron establishment and has in his possession some notes they took in way of business, which were also guaranteed to them and the times being very dull he is around collecting them. The farmer wants to apply the goods left on sale, but he does not know anything about such kind of pay, he must have the money. The farmer sees he has been sold as we'll as the goods, and pays the note and keeps the goods.
 The moral to this is, patronize your own mer chants that are ready to sell as low as they can afford to, and who help to support society and pay their proportion of the taxes of your town and State.
