"1 ins following Icltor describing the present conditi,a mid occupant of tbe late residence of tbe ex-Kiag cf .Spain at ixirdcntown, N. J., is from a correspond tut of the Evening l'oct : la a brcf viait lately to Philadelphia, I etopped for a few hour at the really royal residence of the late C)u:itue Surveilhcrs, (Joseph Eonaparte,) which lies . t i : j l i .i i i nf ar me mgri ruati, uuw raiiroaa, aoOUl hall way Detv?en New York and her Quaker cDmpeer; "This property is admirably situated for commanding effect at a bnJ of the river Delaware, which sweeps with a graceful curve around Point Breesei" and wander ineandering through a beautiful champaign country till quite loet in the distance. It is a singular fact that Mpulou in looking over nn American nrap many-years befjrc the downfall of bis houe, pointed out tiji yp-tt as a charming site fur a country residence. Uli brother Joseph, in cming to this country, rememtered the situation thuä singularly SllJestcd, and purchased the property. A splendid mansion which he erected bere was destroyed in Ib'M by fire, and sad t relate, many nimble objects cf art were 6al-lowi-d uj' in the conflagration. An observatory, which in well known to a!l travellers, now stands on the spot of th.s di&islcr. 15y the will of King Joseph, this beautiful property has descended to his grandson, tlie Vounj Prince of Musigiiaw, who has just reached his majority. Tiie principal build.nji consist of the residence of the lato count, which is now occupied by the present owner, and is contructed in the interior very inuc! after the style of nn Italian palate. On eucri.i the hall, you turn to the left, and passing through the b.lhard room, enter the grand drawing room. This lads to several smalW saloons en suite, numbering six or Beven, leading to the a He a manger, which open on a conservatory. On the second tloor are many fine rooms, including the principal library sonw f.-rtv f t-t long. AH of them, above and below. arc richly adorncj with pictures cf the old masters of the greatest value. I hare no time to dwell on their several merit, though ther.j is not one in the collec tioa which would not afford study for a painter. Perhaps tlie gem of the gallery is a delicious painting by Uapliael .Ien;8, and though the glory of his name is somewhat fidcd, yet this relic of his genius is enough to preserve his fame. The subject is the Nativity, and in the composition, drawing and coloring, nothing can surpas-a it. The stamp of a master hand is every where upon it, and it needed not such exquisite delicacy of touch and careful finish tu make it a most precious work. It was painted for one of the kinrs if Spain, and the price paid was .ij.OCO. There is a rumor, well founded we believe, that some of these fine pictures are to be suld, as others are daily expected from Italy, that would hardly find room in the preseut crowded state of the walls. To return to the bu.ldmgs, there i another very showy mansion, connected with the one first mentioned by a subterranean passage, which was made to a fiord an easy communication between the houses w ithout ex posure to the Weather. There are other houses of smaller pretensions, unnecessary further to mention. TÜ2 Park is some three miles in extent, atld laid out in carriage drives and walks. There are seven or ciirht flourishing farms attached to the property, which yield a goodly revenue. It was the especial delight of the late "Lord Manor" ta bestow bis time and attention to the improvement cf this favored siot. He lav;hed large sums of money on his troops of work men, and give steady employment to all the poor of - - i 1 f mi t m v ine nCijjiiDorriooa. the Kina heart of Joseph üonaparte i-vcr deserted him, whether in the golden balls ol toe lwunel, or the serene seclusion of Point Breeze."

The Catholic church of IJordentown has just received an instance uf this youn prince's bounty in various rich gifts that its drooping resources stood sadly in need of. The prince is the residuary Jogatee of all the stocks, fj:ms&c. left by the Count de Surveilliers in this country. He is, besides the recipient of various in tfre-ting and valuable legacies, cs the coronation robes of the Einpetor Napduou, and several hundred of his private letters. These will furnish a useful sequel to tlie great work of Thiers, now producing such general se:iation. A magnificent service of plate miht be mentioned too, a present of Napoleon to his moth er. The nWal alone is valued at fifty thousand dol lars. Tue residence at "Point Breeze" is occupied bv the Prince de Musijnano and his attached friend and adherent, Adolph Maillard, son of the executor of Joseph.

Mr. L.

He has been actively engaged in Europe for nearly a year past, in the discharge of bis onerous and important duties, and is now similarly engaged in this country. ILs visits are frequent to Philadelphia, to hold consultation with the friend and counsellor of the late count, the Hon. Charles J. Ingersoll. Möns.

Ucncral Jatlison's Sin triage This event in the history of General Jackson has been cficn alluded to but the circumstances attending it are Very little known. Tlie subjoined narrative is from a eulogy delivered at Natchez: Miss Kachel Donelson, the daughter of Col. Donelson, of Virginia, had been celebrated for her gayety, ofiability and sweetness of disposition. Her father emigrated to Tennbsßee, and, dying, left her an tiN phan. he formed an unhappy matrimonial connection with a inorose, jealous, and dissipated character by the name of Roberts, who soon abandoned her. The difficulty was made up, and the wedded pair Came together again ; soon after which Andrew Jackson became a transient border in the anie house whore Huberts and Iiis wife were residing. A second rupture poon occurred, and Roberts left his wife and

went to Kentucky. Learning that he intended returnliig and taking her there, and dread. n? his inhuman ity ttlld bad treatment, she determined to seek an asylum in Natchel, bevohd bis reach. Natchez was then the Oregon, of America. In the pprinjj of 1701 she came here with Col. Starke and his family. At the earnest request of Col. Starke, Gen. Jactaon piloted his family through tlie Indian cduntry. After his te rn, Judge Uvcrton communicated to Iura the astoiiridin intelliTPnpfi that he was the unconscious cause of the last separation ; that it arose from Rob erts's jealousy of him ; and tlie circumstance of his accompanying Col. Starke, to protect his family from the Indians, had been soized upon by Roberts as a ground of divorce, in a petition to the Virginia Legislature. The thought that an innceit wonisn was suffer ing so unjustly on his account ln.ide ucneral Jackson's sens.tive mind mot uneasy and unhappy. He mmediately sought out Roberts and expostulated with him on the injustice and cruelty of his causeless suspicion ; but the interview ended in mutual defiances. At length news came that the Virginia Legislature had actually granted the divorce in accord ir.ee with Roberts's petition. Forthwith Andrew Jackson has tened to Natchez, and offered, his hand and heart to the innocent and amiable woman, who had been made so nnhappy by false nnd unfounded accusations. He came to Natchez, to give the world the highest evi dence he could give of her innocence. Although free to form a new connexion, Mrs. Rob erts declined the proffered offer. Cut Andrew Jackson was riot to be outdone. He addressed her in the language of Ruth to Naomi : "Entreat me hot to leave thee, for where thou goest I will go, where thou lodgest I will lodge, thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God ; where thou diest I will die, and there will I be buried." A promise which he literally fulfilled in refusing the sarcophagus of the Em peror Alexander bererus, that he might be buned by lier. At length, after some three months, Mrs. Rob erts bein i convinced that the chivalry which prompted the proposal had become associated with genuine love, accepted the offer, and they were married in this city or its vicinity, and returned to Tennessee. On arriving there, finding that the divorce had not gone through all the forms required by the laws of Virginia, at the time of their marriage here, tlie cere mony was again performed there. Tlie Democracy of Indiana -The Tri umph Complete, Ac. The returns of the State show that the Democracy are triumphant In both branches of the Legislature, with eight of the ten members of Congress, and a popular majority of about 7,(!t0. And this is no ac cidental result. Indiana is a Democratic State firm and radical. The great nias of her citizens are democratic in their feelings and habiis; The old pioneers who struggled with the savages for a home in the western wilds have not yet disappeared ; and they give tone and character to this generatiori. Agricultural pursuits have engaged their attention1 and had a happy influence upon their principles. There are in Indiana no splendid fortunes whereby to control the mass ; few corjforations giving power to a moneyed and aristocraticniuority, who are seeking selfgrandeur at the expense of the general happiness. The habits of the People are economical and industrious, and hence their wants are few and easily supplied. A rich soil yields a respectable living, and conscious independence. They have little taste for the gaudy luxuries of life, and would not barter their free thoughts for the splendors of gloated royalty. There Is. in our own Indiana, as mutii peiauuai luUcpendence as much self-reliance as much feeling of Equalitv as much stern deteeminatiox to be free, in thought, wold and eeep, as in any State in tlie wide-spread Union. The People, moreover, take a great interest in the affairs of the nation, and are a readmi? people. The time was when Indianians thoiight more of the wan than of his measures. But that time has pass ed. They now scrutinize the policy and freasures of the government, lhey have been deceived, and now have awakened to their interests, and are determined to rule themselves. Extravagance in legislation has taurht them a lesson that will serve to endow them with political wisdom sufficient to enable them to es timate the heartless demagogue and designing faction at their proper worth. And as Economy, Intelligence, and Enuality are the great safeguards of Democracy we rely upon Indiana as one of the firmest States in the crreat Democratic phalanx. And when Democra cy shall have been driven by the corruptions of Federalism and Whigery from every other State in the Union, she will find a home rind a resting place upon the Soil and among the sons of Indiana.

Slats Sentinel. We are glad to see this ground taken by so influ cntial a paper as the State Sentinel ; it may wake up the peonle or Indiana to their true interests. JN onresident land holders are a perfect night riiare upon the public, and there can be no impropriety m the Legislature taking such a course as is calculated to compel them to sell out to those who wish to occupy the lands for themselves. There are three prominent reasons why a law should be passed at the coming se.-sidu of the Legislature, discriminating m favor ot the actual settler It should be dout; it should be done at once : 1st. It would add vastly tö the aggregate wealth of the State, by increasing the imjiroittiitiils of the country an object of magnitude at the present time, when the btate is laboring under heavy embarrass ments.

There is a irreat injustice in compelling th actual settlers to improve the value of non-resident's lands without having an equivalent, which they will never ret under the Dresent svstera 3d.

A very good anecdote is told in connection with the President's late tour of inspection through one of the Departments at wastiington Entering one of the rooms, the excellent head of that particular branch of the public service was assiduous in his attentions to tlie President, and particularly anxious to impress upon" him the necessity of newer And better and safer accommodations lor tne papers Sic. of the office, than the building now contains "See now Mr. President," said he, approaching large table, w hich contained a number of drawer it is in those unsafe and insecure places that we have to keep tre roost valuable public dtcuments .... at 4 when suiting" the action to the word, he pulled open one of the drawers and lo and behold it was found to contain a bottle of porter and a respectable luncheon of crackers and cheese!

"The Yeepnc el." The A. Y. Express devC.cs an article to the too celebrated America Vcppucci, who app?d to Congress sonic years ago for a grant of a little bit of the continent baptized by the name of her great ancestor. It notices the fact (quoting from the Detroit Advertiser,) of her reputed residence with a wealthy ringk gentleman at Ogdcnsburgh, in this State, in a scuultalian villa, which is thus described: "Out of the bufi'mcM line,' its most noticeable 'lion ii the cx-Conntos America Venpocci, who bas taken aheltnr from the ingratitude of CongTeM under the wing of a Mr. - , a clngls gentleman of Ogdentburgh.

' Mr. Lester, our Consul at Genoa, has thus noticed he Vespucci fatnily iii a recently published letter : "The Vespucci family are poor. Two daughters are engnged in teaching school, while the son, the only lineal male descendant, is employed In the Treasury Department of the government, at a salary less than a hundred dollar. 1 lie Duke or 1 uscany, however, supplies the wants of the family from his own pocket. Mr. L. was (he first American that had ever called on the family. and they were deeply affected by the compliment, as they liud been uelore m ort i lied at tlio neglect or nur countrymen. Thev are dccplv chajrrined at the conduct of their sister, who, after having been the mistreat of some dozen men, had the impudence to ask our government Tor a I rant of land 18 herself, as the only descendant of the Vespucci family." The Express thereupon remarks : "So are we ever destined to be humbugged, in this country, until our ridiculous mania f r every thin foreign shall be fully cured. We recollect very Well the figure that this woman cot, through two seasons, at Washington; how flattered by I tie men, how envied by the women, how feasted by the I ich, how talked about by the poor, how courted by the cabinets, how gallanted by Senators, how lionized by all. She was, and we sup pose still is, beautilul in person, accomplished in mind, and enengins in manners. iShe had the address to push her interests almost to the successful point, , but was de lerred by the interposition of one of those lucky incidents n legislation which often defeat the best laid plans of the kind. We have reason, indeed. to congratulate ourseltes n this rase, that such obstacles do sometimes Intervene, t would be a very creditable record in our annals that we had been bejuegled out of a large grant of the national domain, by the meretricious arts of "the mistreaa of a hundred men.

Ahe n(it we hear of her, and we all hear of her, ever since, is that ahe is living in a walled villa on the frontier of the country, the kept mistress of its owner. A pretty position for the descendant of the man who gave his name to a continent for a claimant, in Ina name, of the grateful bounty of the nation called alter him America!" 7 Tow, we notice this disagreable topic, Only for the purpose of taking occasion to render a little act of justice which has not, we believe, been before meted to the gentleman on whom the responsibility rests for the introduction of this accomplished and beautiful; but very improper person, into the most respectable society at Washington. It was M. de Fontois, the then French Minister, who introduced her into our society almost officially : the lady having been sent out from his Court, as it was afterward generally re ported, to put an end to the influence of her fascmafinn upnn th youn'T Duke ot (Jrlfnns. thr heir s pparent to the throne. L he French Minister behaved fhamcfuily in this respect, acquainted as he could not but have been with tlie truth of the" case ; and it was only his own return to France (which happened to follow immediately after this occurrence) that saved him from being dismissed in disgrace from Washington by President Van Buren, for the insult thus offered, nufalone to all the American female society at Washington, but to the American People. JU; de Pontois afterwards became the French Ambassadorial Ccnstantinople. Whether his departure from Wash ington at Via: particular time was accidental or not, we do not know. It was at least a fortunate coinci dence for him. Had he remained a little longer, his going would not have been altogether voluntary! So long, ag the lady in question was supposed a worthy and respectable person, from tlie' respectabili ty of the introduction by which she was thus guaran tied, nothing was more natural than that she should have been an object of great interest and attention nothing more proper and praiseworthy. It is only a pity, a thousand pities, that the honor of her grand historical name was So unworthily preserved, in perhaps the most beautiful, clever and interesting person by whom it has been borne. AT. Y. Acte J. Seduction, Adultekf, and Scictde. A respectable looking Iridh woman, named Mary Crooks, came to the Police Office with an iufant 3 months old in her arms, whose mother had just committed suicide at her (Crooks') house, 43 Broad street. Mrs. Crooks made affidavit that the mother of tlie child, a Mrs. Euphemia Stokes, of Lyne, or Lyme, had been living at her house about four weeks, and stated that the father of tlie child was a Mr. Myers, a married man with whom she had cohabited. Mrs. Stokes appeared to be much depressed, and often said that she had intended to drown herself before her baby was born, but had concluded to wait until that event expressing her sorrow for the crime she had committed, and her intention of taking her own life sooner or laler. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. Crooks saw her put a lump of something into a tumbler of water ; and, suspecting that all was not right, she took , the tumbler and emptied it of its contents. Mrs. Stokes then, saying thht she had enough left yet, put something into her mouth, and immediately washed it down with water. She shortly afterward retired, and Mrs. Crooks hearing her snore very heavily, went to her bed and took away the baby, which she took care of. In the morning Mrs. Stokes was found dead, and a Coroner's jury decided that she' had poisoned herself with opium. Mr. Myers came to the house and told Mrs. Crooks to take the child to the Alms-house; where it would be taken care of. It seems that the" guilty and unhappy woman, discovering that 3Iyers had a wife who was herself enciente, expressed her determination to die rather than be the means of breaking up the family of her paramour a trait of noble magnanimity which the suffering female heart alone could have furnished.' The affidavit of Mrs. Crooks was taken and proceedings instituted against Myers. Ar. Y. Tribane. Debt and Taxes of New York Citt. The City of New York contains now about 400,000 inhabitants larger than many of the States. In the Message of the new Mayor to the Council, the financial machinery of this vast population is well developed. A few of these facts may not bo uninteresting. The Debt of New York, after deducting credits' is S12,4,437. The Taxes for the last three years, with the total Revenues, including Markets, Licences, Sec., were aa follows, viz: . Ta.

News and Talk. A little while since the whole of the United Slates was in a violent political storm. Every body was agitated, and if each one didn't have his own way, the world would go to ruin beyond the probability of a doubt ! In fact, very few persons had their own way. Even the office-seekers of the successful party were nine out of ten disappointed. Rut what of the world 1 Why, the world went on just as it d.d before, and the political elements have settled down as peaceful and quiet as the moonshine in a summer evening after a storm. Now, we have a storm of Theology, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians; Catholics, every body is in a violent a jitation. As usual every body must have his own way, or nothing will go straight. They are

mistaken. There is a spirit in the world more powerful than any other. That spirit is Mammon. He smiles with great indifference on the fallacious idea that that thing depend on Crovernment, or Conscience, or Liberty. He throws oil on the waves of conten tions, and soon makes every body intcut on the game Oi me uoluak: This is a potent spirit tins Mammon, and a potent element of society ta the Dollar. There are some few rebels in the world against such a dominion aa this. But they are unable to chanjre the current. Society is frequently much acritated. but the stream tends ultimately to business, and the world goes on ill tlie old-fashioned way. Cincinnati Chronicle. Extraordinary Sagacity of a Cat. We have the following anecdote from an unquestionable source, and assure our readers that the statement may be re lied on : A rcntleman cf this city had two cats upon the premise, related by the tics of mother aü'd daughter both Of which were blessed with a litter of kittens about the same time. Not many days after, the two mothers were observed sitting together in the shed, and inicnuy eyeing eacn otuer, as ir holding a con sultation. After tlie lapse of several minutes thus spent, the younger cat returned to her kitten, one on ly having lived, an 1 brought it towards the older cat, which fctill kept her place. This kitten she placed directly before her mother, and then sat down not far from it. lbe two parents looked again at each other for some tirue, when the older retreated, leaving the kitten where tlie mother had placed it. The mother again took up her mewing offspring, and once more approached her recusant companion, when the same ceremony was repeated with similar effect. This occurred several times, when the older cat, as if influenced by the mute apical of the moth er. took up the strarge kitten thus forced upon her chatity, conveyed it to the spot where her darlings were deposited, and, to all appearances, adopted it as her own. The younger cat, having thus seen the object of her solicitude provided for, retired 6lowly to her straw; where she was soon after taken with a fit, and almost immediately died. We leave it for natural ists to explain whether the invalid cat was aware of her speedy dissolution or not; or whether, what we call instinct, in the lower order of animals, does not occasionally approach very near to what is termed reason among the human species. New Haven Couritfi A Conscientious Bookstealer. A bookseller who exposed books for sale in his open shop-window in the city, having recently observed that he lost a number of books', notwithstanding he always found the exact quantity, bating those that were sold, on taking them in at nights, and besides this, finding several books among his own of w hich he had not the slightest knowledge, was the other day induced to watch a demure-looking young man rather closely, whom he had constantly seen looking at his books, but scarcely ever making a purchase. In this employment his surprise was very soon increased by observing his customer Hit a book in bis pocket, and pull another from under his coat, which he placed amongst the rest on the board, aud then deliberately walked away. Being, however, desired to walk back again, and account for his conduct, the trembling culprit at length acknowledged that he had been in the constant habit of exchanging good carnal for what he called indif ferent spiritual books, which he considered advantageous to the bookseller ; and as a proof of this assertion pulled out of his pocket a volume of old puritanic divinity, for which he averred, and the fact proved it, he had deposited a well-bound volume of the works f rp, hy way of a conscientious oxchengo I Hie youth and simplicity had such an effect upon the bookseller, that after making him sensible that even these exchanges would expose him to prosecution for theft, he let Lirrf go, with advice in future always to consult the owner of the property before he attempted to transfer or exchange it under any pretext whatever. Good SruxK. :In the "Woonsocket Patriot we notice the advertisement of Mrs. Mary Irons, wherein she gives old Irons suth a dose as will not sit well on his stomach. Mary is an ironer and crimper, as the good-for-nothing Arthur has proÜably long ago found out. We like her spunk, and therefore give her notice a place in our columns. ; Whereas, Arthur Irons has seen fit to advertise me as having left his bed and board, carrying off bis chil dren, &.c. ; therefore; I hereby give notice to all who may feel luterested in the matter, that Said Arthur Irons, since his marriage, has bad neither bed nor board which was not procured with my money ; that all the furniture which I took away I purchased and paid for myself : that he had no money which did not belong to me ; and as to getting trusted on his ac count, he cannot get trusted himsell where he is known ; that I can better maintain myself than he can ; and that I prefer living alone to living with a Rum Jug !

He, with others, has invited delegates from all parts of the country to meet in this city on the first October in a kind of "World's Convention," to consider and inves tigate the causes of such general destitution, ignorance and misery among tlie Human Family, and determine what measures are best calculated to remove them. The National Reform Association of this city, has issued a similar call for an unlimited Convention, to meet in this city the second week in October, when the Annual Fair of the American Institute will open, and a great many strangers will be drawn to our city. -y. Y. News. . Some Baltimore gamblers receritly got into their 'hell" a young gentleman of that city, named Isaac Jones, who had recently had $12.000 left to him, and in one night won. from him 'checks on the bank in which the money was deposited for nearly the whole amount. He was then kept engaged, or, as some say, locked up until nine, o'clock the next morning, when, on the opening of tlie ban'c, his checks were presented, and the whole amour t drawn. He was decoyed by the insinuations of a pretended friend, which friend played the cards for him, made the bets and attended to all other requisite arrangements, Jones only furnishing the capital. The money being exhausted, his friend as in similar cases, took leave of him, and has not since been seen in Baltimore. Here she is. Some one of exquisite taste and more exquisite smell, advertised a few days since in the Tribune for a colored woman to be his wife. May-be this one would suit him. The Missouri Herald says Mr. McDaniel of Marion county, in that State, has a negro womau who is 117 years old, and bas the fourth set of teeth, and is very anxious to marry. She retains all her faculties, and Dhvsicians who have seen her say that she is yet good for thirty more years of life, judging rom her general appearance, lier youngest son is eighty-four years of age, and plays on tlie banjo, and dances like a boy. lias a child a year old. Washington Constitution. 44 A few days 6ince, Samuel McGilvery, one of our citizens, had his 6kull badly fractured, while cleaning out a well in this place. He was in the bottom, engaged in taking out some tWo-inch curbing. Strme six or eight of these he had placed in the bucket, which, when about half way up, fell and struck upon his head. Notwithstanding his skull was broken in several places, he is now walkiug. about, and will probably entirely recover. People's Friend. There is something noble and magnanimous in an open and avowed enemy. . You know who and what he is, and can guard against .him. But the? mean, sneaking, insidious wretch, who will approach you with a smile upon his countenance, at the very moment that he is seeking an opportunity to g'ive" yen a fatal stab, is devoid of every honorable . trait, and worthy only to bo associated with the most despicable and degraded of human kind. Lafayette Journal.

We can scarcely open an exchange, from this State,

without noticing some comment upon the new demo cratic paper, about to be issued at Indianapolis. Hie Whigs, universally, rejoice over the prospect of a division, in tlie ranks of the democratic party, while they, on the other hand, generally regret the step. The conclusion appears to bo that the Chapmaus are fully competent to the task: but the rort vayne Times thinks that it would be easier for Morrison to buy them than to kill them. We do not know how easily Chapmans may be bought, but we think if it is undertaken to kill them, that it will turn out about as successful as did the old man, when he attempted to break his buck of the habit of butting, as noticed id our paper a short time1 ago. Mitrn ing Courier: The following is the story alluded to in the Cour ier's paragraph : THE BUTTING BUCK. The River State (Ala.) Review publishes the followng wonderful story. We are very much disposed to doubt Its authenticity. UliITOTIlt LiiT. A friend related to us the fol lowing -. Deing at the house of i neighbor a short time since, the crowd concluded to miom themselves by tell ing -yarns. Alter several pretty tougn ones had been told, Jo II. wai cilled, when with great grctlty he gave the following : "Two years ago last pulltn-fodder time, uncle Josh. B. had I buck that waa sort of brought up id the lot and about the house, and tlie boys had by fooling with him laarnt t.itn to butt" as bard as a mule could kick and 'butt" he would at every thing that came in his way, un til it aeemed aa if he would "butt every thing off the lot. So uncle Josh concluded to see if lie couldn't give him his fill nl buttinjr. Out he roes and takes a bis hickCry maul and hangs it pretty well up in an oak tree, let ting it hang tust low enough for Air. Uuck to take a lair crack at it. He knew that he would make at anv thins pushed towards him, taking such move always as a banter. Unrle Josh waited patiently until the buck came round, when he gives the signal, and here he comes with such a sudden "vim," that it would have knocked down a bull ! Away flew the maul, and back bounded the buck ! Go it, my good fellow, ains out Uncla Joili. If you can Whip that maul, your head s a hard un. Seeing the motion of the maul as it commenced its return swing, the buck met it again about the "meeting place," driving the maul some twenty leet Into the air and bouncing from it himself like a cricket ball! Hurra! my little woolly ! say Uncle Josh, who began to get interested in what he at first considered an unequal fight there's vcty little sheep in your head if you stand another lick, cer tain. But here comes buck and maiil again, with nearly the same result as before, except that the blow did not seem quite ao heavy on the part ot the buck. At him again, my hard head ! sings out Uncle Josh, take your fill of butting : and at him again the little fellow went, and kept repeating until Uncle Josh thought the very devil was in the head of the sheep sure enough. But back went maul, and butt went buck, and to the astonishment of Uncle Josh, the buck showed no signs of quitting still. Well, says he, if you choose to butt your own brains out, why go ahead. . Whack, whack ! went head and maul. By this time it was nearly night and no sign of quitting and Uncle Josh left. Next morning he got up early and looking out saw the maul and the "buck's tail hopping at it," being all that Was left oi the butting "Buck. ViEtrES of Bacon Laborers and Rectors. A Rector and Conservative " writes a letter to the Times a reallv affecting letter on the virtues of bacon, and rejoices over tlie tariff that "lard" is to be admitted tree, but is sorry to see bacon omitted. And then the rector goes on to paint an Apician feast. ' Bacon," he says, 44 vhen they can get it, is the staff of the laborer's dinner." rer's dinner." Listen further : "The frugal mother provides a large pot of potatoes and while she indulges herself and her younger ones only with salt, cuts of the small rasher and toasts it over tlie plates off the lather and elder sons, as being I the bread-winners ; ana mis is an iney want. "And this is all they want!" How very easy is it for a capon-lined belly to' give laws to laborers stomachs ; to interpret its huge contentment with a small rasher. The "frugal mother and her younger ones " never think of bacon at all. Oh no ! they inhale its odor with the nostrils of stone it never awakens a yearning appetite in them certainly not ! they are indulged with potatoes-and-salt ; and, doubtless, this is 44 all they want." Can we not fancy a laborer, writing of the families of the Deans and Rectors of the Church. 44 The frugal mother has an early dinner provided for her little one and their governess ; a plain joint, a plain pudding, every tiling plain. , At six or seven o'olotK, eKo out oflT tiio fine ot th turbot, eho ulieod the fat of the haunch for the father and elder sons. They afterwards take their port and claret, and this is all they want. On this point, we are sure, the laborer can better answer for the rector, than the rector for the laborer. fjondon Punch. The Jesuits in Switzerland. We perceive by the late accounts from abroad, that the Jtsuits have triumphed in Switzerland, and been defeated in France. Lucerne has carried her point in introducing Jesuits into the canton, and entrusting to them the education of her youth. About the 6ame time the King of the French has, through his minister.DeRossi, obtained the Pope's assent, to the issuing of an order by the General of the Order, dissolving the Society in France, requiring the closing of their houses, and that if any of tlie members choose to remain in the country; they are to do so on the footing of the ordinary clergy, and under subjection to the bishops and parochial ministry. This is considered a master stroke of policy ön the part of Louis Phillippe. He might indeed, by the mere application si' existing laws in France, which forbid the existence of the Jesuits as a separate corps have effected the same result but not without shocking many religious persons, arid giving to the denounced J esuits something of the air and consequence of victims. By taking the other course, of asking the intervention of their official superiors and the Pope, he gets at the same time rid of the Jesuits, and preserves appearances with the Church. Kissing. The sweetness of kissing depends with us altogether on the Elyness of the thing. Take our word for it, the stolen draughts are the most delicious. We would rather be 44 cut up into cat-fish bait," than kiss a girl in company. Besides, there is great danger in the promiscuous kissing which is indulged in at parties. Ten to one if your lips do not, at the very moment after they have been revelling in the most ecstatic enjoyment, come pop ! upon those of some old maid, so sour that you cannot get the taste of the bitters out of your mouth for a week. No ! no ! kissing in public is not the way to manage the thing; it destroys the reverence with which man delights to wrap tlie wondrous sex, and none but a bungler will resort to it. If you wish to enjoya kiss in all its raciness a kiss at once delicate, airy and spirituelle, yet one that will cause every pulse in your body to thrill with ecstacy get your little charmer into .a corner of a sofa, before a cozy fire of a freezing night steal your arm round her waist take her hand gently in your own and then drawing her tenderly towards you, " kiss her with a long, sweet kiss, as if you were a bee sucking honey from a flower. There's true kissing for you. Yankee Blade. The Question Answered. Some of the puritanical bigots who control the presses devoted to tlie Aborigines, alias the Native Americans, asked a few weekä ago, what would be our situation while so many foreigners were in the country, in case of a war with eome other notion. We are prepared to answer their impudent insinuation in a tone of overwhelming triumph. We point to New Orleans for a reply to their malignant inuendoes. At the first blast of the war trumpet, when but a mere speck was floating above the horizon, six hundred Irishmen assembled in a public meeting and with the most patriotic enthusiasm, declared their readiness to enrol themselves under the glorious stars and stripes ; the German Yayers also volunteered to a man ! Pusillanimous hypocrites, you have an answer to your infamous query, what shall we do in case of a war ! 17. S. Journal. We learn that tlie business of manufacturing cottons and some other kinds of goods has been so lucrative during tlie year past, that many small establishments, costing from forty to fifty thousand dollars, have realized profits exceeding their actual cost. There is no other branch of business in the country which can boast of such large profits, so uniformly and generally realized by all whose capital is employed in it, as the manufacturing establishments which have sprung up under the unjöst and unequal protection oi the present tariff. N. Y. Post. Counterfeiters. Four counterfeiters have just been arrested in Warsaw, Ky. It is only a part of a gang and the remainder have declared their intentions to burn the town which has caused great excitement. . . -

Execution of Carter and Pakke. The solemn sentence of the law was .duly executed at Belvidere; N. J., on Friday, upon Joseph W. Carter and Tetcf W. Tarke, convicted of the murder of the Castner family. The culprits died, protesting their innocence; The execution was attended by ten thousand persons.. The scaffold was elevated to the level of the top of tlie fence which tlie law requires to be erected in order to render the execution private. It was rather a public spectacle. The description of the scene iri tlie Newark Advertiser, is like that of a horse race,' or any similar exhibition. The Grand Lodge of the I. O. O. F. at Cincinnati; have voted an appropriation of one hundred and fifty dollars, for the discovery and apprehension of the incendiaries and murderers in the Xenia tragedy, by which a brother of tlie order was assassinated. The whole reward now amounts to eome 1,400, sufficient to recompense any degree of zeal and exertion to bring tlie perpetrators of this shocking outrage td justice. Caution to Parents. Another child was poisoned, a few days ago, in Kensington, by eating the seed of the common Jamestown or jimson weed. The child manifested the usual symptoms of fever and delirium, which soon reached the highest degree of insanity or madness, and but for the timely aid afforded by Dr. Kichcrd Chapman, would have terminated in death. Parents cannot be too vigilant in guarding their children against eating the seed of this rank and pernicious weed. Ledger. 44 Fishy." We see it stated, in the papers, that & tailor in an inland town of Pennsylvania, not long ago, in one day from sunrise till 8 P M made eleven pairs of pantaloons, two waistcoats, and a round jacket for a little boy. He was obliged to keep a bowl of ice water constantly by him to cool his needle in. Green. A Tennessee paper talks of a chap at Holly Springs, who was so astonished at seeing a lady playing at her piano, that after listening for a minute or two he withdrew his head, and hallooed after his companion, 44 1 say, Jim ! just come here, Darnauon seize me, if here ain't a woman pullln music out of a chest !" Ox and Horse Race. At Long Braach . lately they got up a race between a dull borse and a fast ox, which attracted a great crowd. A colored rider mounted each animal, and strange to Say, at the end of the mile, the ox beat. The ladies were very rriuch excited, and several expressed a wish to 44 ride that ßweetox." f5Maj. G.
