Parody of a Poacfur. A poor strolling play
er in England, was once caught peiformng the
pait of a poacher . and being taken before Hip
magi-trate assembled at quarter sessions, foi
examination, one of them asked what tight he
had to kill a hate, when he replied in the following parody on Brutus' speech to the Ro
man, in defence of his killing Caesar:
"Buttons hungry-men, and epicures!

Burning mshts We have heard on good aa
thonly. at the rumors say, that a gentleman in this city has invented a mode for burning the
ashes of anthracite coal. He makes them up
into balls, or masses, of convenient site, by mixture with some sort of liquid, whether it be water or wiue, or whiskey, or some unknow medium of combination, we know not. These
balls, or masses, are thrown into tbe grate, re
kindled, reburnt, and tamed again into coal; and so the process of decomposition, and recom-
positton. alternately goes on first reducing tbe coals to ashes, and then again reducing the ash es back to coals ; so that a mau w ho sets out with
his grate full in the beginning of winter, will final it equally full in the spring, with the ex
ception of the small natter of dust that flies a

the London bakeis to sell the quartern loaf one penny cheaper than when baked in th old method. On the supposition that 300,000 lbs. of bread is daily consumed in New York, there would be about 3,500 gallons of liquid, or 700 of proof spirit obtained in a day, amount-

The black fellow went for the beef, was refused on the ground that his master had already borrowed very often, but had neglected to pay. CaeBar repaired to church, the refusal of the meat still running in his head and it so happened that just as he was entering the door, his master was dilating the words of the apostles, and thus addressed his hearers 4 What does Paul say?'

It contemplates borrowing the sum of 250,000 upon the credit of the proceeds of the canal lands, to be paid out of such when collpcled. At present advised, 1 must oppose it as n measure which i think is some day or other to entail a debt
upon the slates, which w ill rest upon her like an incubus for years to come. The principal objection presented is, that if we commence the canal, we rp.ff go on with it, or be liable to refund to the United States the price of the lands donated and sold. Let it be recollected loo, that Indiana ns being the only contracting party with the United States, will be bound for the wolc length of the canal, even that part which contemplates run
ning through Ohio, which will be about 78 miles. Ohio, it seems, has done nothing tovrds opening her pari, and from present inlirntions, will not be likely to make uny attempt of the kind soon, as she is already l.v
