unpleasant "reminiscences in the minds
of some of our friends of the famous OF
cial Reception Committee" appointed to
"receive" Gov. Seymour, as also those of
the "Cayote Reception" who were treated
with 50 much contempt by the ho"o'ed

"-werl publish right or wrong;
Fools is our theme, let satyr be our song."1
"Make a pair before Saturday
night. Sir" said the shoemaker.
"Can't watt" said I: "going out
of town by the next train"
.Oh! we'll, now I think" replied
he, ".here is an uncommon nice pair
that may bell fit. They was made
for gentleman that didn't take
'em: too small across here, you see.
Try'em on, sir? All !! yes, so, so,
exactly. Why, they fit like-like
they'd been made for you T.
They did fit tolerably we'll, so I
bought them. In five minutes
more was seated aboard the cars in
Chatham.street, and in half-an-hour
more, was steaming and rattling
away out of the city, toward my des-
tination. I was going on collect
ing expedition to that secluded lit
tie rural PARADISE" Smithburgh,
which, as you are aware, is situated
about a hundred miles back Of the
City Hall. and is about tho same
number of years behind the metrop-
oils in the 4" modern Improvement" B"
One of the Smithburghers was in
debt to my employers, { the great
house of Naryred and Company, of
whom you have doubtless heard,
Pearl-street, just below Fulton.
The aforesaid Smithburgher was ru-
mored to be on the eve of " suspen-
sion," hence my hurried journey.
Be it remembered that these events
occurred two years ago, at which era
debts were still collectable.
"The shades of night were falling
fast when the train deposited my
carpet.bag and myself at the Smith.
burgh station. Twas soon ensconced
in the tavern; an ambitious wooden
structure, very garishly white, and
very lavish of piazza without, which
qualities were ountcrbalanced by its
being very dirty and very cramped
for room within.
When I went over, in the evening,
to the store of my delinquent debtor,
I did not fnd him and . very briei
conversation with the people whom
/ did find, served to inform me that
I had come on Q fruitless errand

whether these extraordinary attcn-

At any rate, the breakfast was sub

" resolved I would always patron
ize this tavern. whenever 1 came to
Smithburgh.
Presently I observed indications
that I was not only an object ofatten-
ton. but of curiosity. Faces, as of
persons standing on chairs, appeared
behind the three pancs of glass over
the door, staring intently at every
mouthful I took. When I looked.
the faces suddenly ducked out of
sight. When I looked away, they
rcanpeared. or were succeeded by
Others. staring in turn. The win
dow opening on the street was dark
ened all at once, and on turning
round to see the reason, l surprised
a crowd of urchins, piled in tiers,
tlattenins their noses against it with
intense staring. all of whom vanished
as I looked. Tho landlord, by in
cautiously opening the door which
led to the kitchen, caused a sudden
rustling and scampering, and sup
pressed scream, which led to the ir-
resistable conclusion that a bevy
had been taken turns there, staring
though the key-hole.

there came a ran at the door followed

many OF them wero refusing to make labor con-
tra,ts for the ensuing year under the Vague no.
ton nthatthe Government would do something for
them, he earnestly desired to disabuso their
minds in this particular, also; and hence the ne
cesity for their making contracts with the owners
of. the lands and sticking to them in good faith.
When the contract WAS made they wore 10 undor-
stand that the employer was entitled to all their
lnhor, and for whichIh they shonid be paid faif'nud

Open whatpnper you, may, radical or eopservn-
tive, Roman Catholic or Protestant, and the
heading Fcnianism"o is seen in bold type.
Fsnianisu in facs has become the great sensation
of tho day. Tho grand general congress of the
Fenians.in the United States assembled in Pba-
delphia on thel6th 9f;October, and'is, we believe,
still in session. Thero is Of the
fa;thfulto. attend this important convention, rep
resentatiyes having arrived even from California
and the far Territories. Of tho West It seems
moro thanprobable too that Feuianism will on this
v,casioh take some decisive step.
T.s various shapes which this FOnian excite
ment takes in England and Ireland arc as strange
in form as theminds OF. men can makothem. The
British papers,.whilo agreeing in bclinf that the
main project is to wresl Ireland from the English
rule, ere by 10 means harmonians in agreement
as to the mannor in which the work is to DC done.
An uprising CT tho sOasift isle is presumed, of
course, to be upon. the programme, but ii is
Thought by some TINT there is to be powerful as
sistanco from abroad. Tho -sundiag Of British
heet tc guard the coastsof Ireland il an evidence
of the fears which are entertained of a sudden
descent; The United States arc. supposed to be
the ho!bsd of tho intrigues which are to oalnli-
nate in the grand at.rmpt at revolution. To pro-
vent the sudden lanling of an armed expedition
is tho object of these riaritims preoautloas. s.
Whilst, however,, tho British authorities are
garrisonibg Ireland and blockading it's ports,
there are not+wanting "swell-inforped %,5partics
who coolly inform, them: that they are neglcctng
tho real point of danger, that real. point bcing
Canada. This British possession, say The "well-
to be invaded by IN immense army
of Fenians from the Unitad Statds. Canada being
carried BY coup DC main, win lie erected iato al
