was a lady of much worth, an exemplary christian, highly esteemed by those who knew her, and her ^untimely loaa is seriously to be regretted.

The contract system has proved a failure; it has occurred to me that the most certain way to secure the prompt and faithful execution of the public printing that could be adopted by Congress, would be to establish the prices by law, and elect a printer for two or four years, upon the score of economy alone, it strikes me as being worthy of a trial at least.

The Delegates to the National Democratic Convention are dropping in, and the probable result of its deliberations is, of course freely and frequently disoussed in all circles. Every one has his first, second, third, fourth, and fifth choice? this is all natural and proper enough. There is fortunately one thing upon which they alt ftgree that is, that. the nominees of the convention are their first choice. A determination of free and hearty acquiescence in the

We say little from the fact that we, in common with a vast majory of those present of both parties, were sadly disappointed.-— His worn-out remarks, taken in connection with his bareface misrepresentations sind unfounded charges, rendered him perfectly ridiculous in the eyes of many of his own friends. His speech was without system or arrangement, and displayed at once an inexcusable ignorance ofState policy, whilst his evidently studied attempts at wit and oratorical display betrayed a weak intellect. We hope our friend Willard will take pity on him as he is emphatically a weak brother!

A report soon got wind that Mr. Stroud had advertised for a wife, and people flocked from all quarters to see the ladies inssarch of a husband. The widows, young, middle-sged, the thin and stout, the dark and lair, some in their weeds, others gaily attired, and many poorly but decently clad, continued to arrive, and were greeted with shouts and laughter by the mob. who gave free vent to their jokes and ribaldry as the widows arrived and departed.
