A young lady advertises in the Cleveland Plaindealer for young gentleman to act as an amauensis. He must be able to write in ciphers, and when not engaged he will be OK pected to read poetry with feeling, convere with ease. and be able to play cribbage and backgammon. He must expect to be kissed when she is pleased, and cuEed when she is not but as her temper is acknowledged to be good, there will probably be more kissing than cufing. There's good chance for somebody.
 The following is list of popular errors, ma- ny of which were once firmly believed in, and some of which survive even now. That when a man designs to marry woman who is in debt, if he takes her from the priest clothed only in her undergarment he will not be liable te her engagements. That there was no land tax before the reign of William III. That if a criminal was hung an hour. and revives, he cannot be afterwards executed. That fuue- ral passing along any place makes public highway That a husband has the power of divorcing his wife by selling her in an open market with halter round her neck. That leases are made for the term of 999 years, be- cause lease of 1000 years would create a freehold. That deeds executed on Sunday arc void.
 It is commonly said that Admiral Farragu is the first commander on record who during 8 battle stationed himself at the masthead. This is popular error, and is but simple justice to ststs that it is claimed for General Mcclellan that during the battle of Malvern Hill he ec Icupaed similar position on one of the gun boats on the James r:veY.
