that neatncss contributed to clearness of
ideas. Hon. c. d. Hubbard, of West
Virginia, recently returned the $1,000
which he drew as extra pay under the bill
of the late session of Congress of which
he is member. Are there any more

ment in the old Bay State is going through
rapid change. John Morrissey, of the
Prize Ring, is worth about two millions

such rufians as Stephens, Kelly, Shella-
barger, ct. al. ?..... Santa Anna is in New
York figuring for the command Of the
Mexican Republican army and his pros
poets are good. The Chicago Times of a
late date publishes horrid account of a

the local of the Times for getting up such
brutal sensation. 1t is said Gen. But

she was shocked when the clerk suggested
that she might mean leghorn. Oh dear
| cocoa rich old Austrian General saw a
beautiful lady on the street-inquired her
name, waited on her father and made a
contract of marriage. The wedding day
came when behold the lady was not the
one he saw on the street! The old fool
was insane with madness; but the court
held him to the contract because the old
gal he had espoused was the only daughter
left to her father. He had seen the niect
of his wrinkled bride (of the same name)
and it was her he was fishing for. The

daughters were recently presented to the
