AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE. May years ago there lived in Western Pennsylvania, General , a revolutionary worthy, w ho had done the state some service. He united with the courage and chivalry of the soldier an impetuous and positive temper, which brooked no contradiction of his word or disobedience of his orders. Ploughing one day on his farm, one of his horses became restive nnd intractable; whereupon the testy Cincinnati struck him so violently on the head, that the animal fell lifeless at his feet. On seeing a favorite steed, lately full of life and

spirit, streached on the ground,

This tub or vessel, turns with a crui.k, and he has put into it some of tlie finest pipeclay he could get, together with pul. veiized marble and chalk, mixed with a little milk and water. This he turns diligently, for six hours ever morning, and says he doubts not, when the right confiuralion of particles comes about, he shall see a beautiful woman hop out of his tub, when he intends to marry. I called on him the other, day and found him sweating away at his taks, nothing, discouraged by the sweet, reluctant amorous delay, with which his bride, w rosse and '
