 "Wadgeous' for wages is stupendous, so is the variation "wadeious." The God of Battle ean place in our power" is very fine. Much de- pepds on his ability to furnish |" means,'' it ap- psars If he should chance to be hard up it wouldn't be near so well with the dry forkes as if he should have plenty, Sampson is very jealous of. his authority, and makes death the penalty of impertinent interference with it.

 .s4AYHR's AMERICAN ALMANAC for 1862 is now ready for delivery gratis, at all Druggists, who are happy to supply all that call for them. Ev- cry family should have and keep this book. It is worth having. Comprising much general in- formatiou of great value, it gives the best in- struction for the cure ef fprevalent complaints that we can get anywhere. Its anecdotes alone are worth bushe of wheat, and its medical ad- vice is sometimes worth to the sick the Wheat's weight in gold Many of the medical almanacs are trash, but this is solid metal. Its calcula. sions are made purposely for this latitude, aud are therefore correct. Call and get an Ayers Almanac, and when got, keepit.

 FEE LONDON CORRESPONDENT of the Y. Times writes thus concerning the funeral of Prince Albert, Queen Vctoria's husband:
 The funeral of the Prince took place on Mon- day, at Windsor Castle. It was strictly private, and the persons who followed tho coffin to the tomb were chosen among the personal friends or relatives of the Royal family. Even the French Ambassador was not present. In London the day was observed by cessation of business and empty streets, but there has been no funeral ceremonies such as would have been more than usually proper for the memory of man who has done 50 much for England, nor have the walls of Westminster ;Abbe seen any new funeral pa geant in ssbehalf of the poor Prince Consort-the best and ablest ruler that England has for cen turies. Tho Queen is at Osborne. No one thinks of iatrading on her privacy. Her Uncle the~ King of Belgium, has come over to see her. and is now with her. He made the match twcn- ty years ago and more, and be has been thefrst adviser of the Queen, as well of the Prince, ever since that time. His loss is almost as great as hers. e, ..- .- E---~
 Tho oity, usually 50 gay at this season of the year, IS now gloomy and mournful No one ap- pears in public without some mark of mourning, And all women who can afford it wear black Biack crayats, black gloves, black hat bands, and black shirt studs are in enormous demand, and for Q long time the same funeral garments Ein be accessory. It is but little good all this will do tho Queen, but it is more a sign of sym pathy with her than of sorrow for the Prince; anan foos careful, too moral, and too reserved, ever to be understood or appreciated by the masses. ....-.. 4.....
