PIeasnuf Hest,

We find the following charming fic-
ton in one of our exchanges. The
humor of the joke almost excuses the
magnitude of the lie:
A CORRECTIoN.-When the report
reached johnson that West Virginia had
elected a Democratic Legislature, the
President telegraphed the following
message to one of the editors of the
Wheeling REGISTER: "God bless West
Virginia" After learning that the
State had gone overwhelmingly Radical
he is supposed to have sent another
message, to-wit:
"ERRATA.-For bless, in my former
dispatch. read d--n. A. j."

Adjournment of the Legislature.

The Legislature adjourned, without day,
about one O'Clock Friday morning. The ses-
son,c ntrary to some CT the predictions at lis
opening, has been Of no more than usual
length-lasting Just six weeks. \ good deal
of time has been wasted, and a good deal Of
work done, some Of i; excellent and impor-
work. The attachment law, or graz iaic,
rs 1t has been called, which has so long re
sis.od al efforts to remove It from our Stat
ute books, has at last been done away, for
ever. We trust; and an act providing for
equal distribution OF an iusolvent debtors
property among biz creditors takes it place.
The towns have been empowered 10 encOur-
age manufactures by freeing mills from tax
atiun. 4 new Militia bill has been passed
The r r. fight in Bennington County Vas
fought through and ended. \ State tax OF
ffty ants, on tie grand list.W laid for the
State expenses Of next year. 4 number of
railroads were chartered, and some refused
charters. The enabling acts, to enable towns
to raise money by bonds, &c, for en-
structing railroads, went harder and harder
as the session progressed, and the las Of
them were rejected. All attempts to alter
the probibitorY law IN any way fuled. The
bill to equalize freights on the railroads,
considered very important by many, but
crudely and ipjudiciously drawn, failed in
the House and the other bills and resolu-
tons looking to future legislation on the
subject through a commission - report next
year, failed in the Senate. The excellent bill
to secure better attention to business by de-
Quoting the pr diem Of absent members,
passed the House, but was killed by the Sen
ate. Any quantity OF private acts of moor
poration were granted, and a good deal else
done and left undone, to which We may refer
more a; length in future.

Appeal for n building Fund for the News

NEW YORK. Nov.

NEw YORK. Nov, 1867.
.hessrs. Editors Of the Free Prsss.,-The
public are aware that, for thirteen years, the
Childrens' AID Society has been sustaining and
carrying on. through the aid Of individual con
tribntions, large lodging House Tor news bnys,
and other street boys.
During this period so, ASS lodgings and 1884,
203 meals have been furnished these lads. o
whom the whole number lodged Is 1910. In
this time, Sl4, 5Ol.7O. have been deposited bv
the boys, in the Savings Bank of the rooms, aud
sl4,739 "A have been paid by them towards the
expenses of the Lodging House In the last
year, alone, there were lodged sl92 different
boys, 1919 lodgings and 1858 meals were
furnished. The number of orphans thus aided
was 1926 aud of half orphans 1901.
The object Of the institution is to shelter. in
s;ruct; and thus elevate this interesting and IN
fortunate class Of children. From the LODGING
House, the Society sends the boys forth to places
in the country. or near the city. Thousands Of
boys have thus been saved from thieyery and
vagabOnd life, and have become useful citizens.
The Trustees are deeply impressed with the
importance Of making this beneicent charity
permanent by procuring proper build
ing for it. There will always be home less
boys here, for whom some such provision mus,
be made, while the city continues They wish
to provide building which shall be a shelter
