Last week, in pursuance of an invi-
tation, we had the pleasure of visit
ing Clinton District, and was shown
over this garden spot of the world by
that prince of good fellows w. +. Wat

we could not fail to have good time.
There are more good people in Gin

onlo passing acquaintance with
them, would suppose. They are most
hospitable and kind, and are most
happy when contributing to the en-
joyment of others. For the kindness
shown us we are under special obi
cations to +. III. and w. +. Watson

abreast of the times in every way and
are genial, companionable men of n
positive Monongalian stamp. These
gentlemen are at present having the

It(an't 1sc Bone.

The telescope is useful article; a
very interesting and wonderful inven-
ton, indeed. BY the use of it objects
which are at such remote distances
as to be totally invisible with the max
ed eye, are brought into such close
proximity, as to be plainly discerned.
While wonderful things are claimed
for the telescope by way Of assisting
the organs of vision, it is no use to
deny the fact that it will not work
when large Opaque objects are inter
posed between the instrument and
the object which is sought to be view
ed. To illustrate our meaning, it is
no earthly use for an enamored bach
elor to try to get view of the en-
chantress of his soul from the third
story of grist mill, even by means
of a first rate spy glass, when an APP
pie tree intervcnes to prevent it. The
best and only way to succeed, under
such circumstances, is to do as he
did-watch when everybody is away
from home and slip over with an axe
and cut the limbs off the tree, and
when the owner of that tree returns,
it will be too late to say ''woodman
spare the tree" For further particu-
lars we refer our readers to Elisha AL
lender, whose mill stands on the bank
of the Monongahcla river, near the
wharf.
