from the gala soldier and th thunder of his
deep :neighed canoq, down t e ragged ur
chin with that curious compound, - tt torpedo:
front the beautiful lady; with her 'pert little
sun shade, to the "gal with the hole in her

made merry by the perfect confusion which
prevailed. There were several plc nic .par :
ties went out from town l in which the utmost
•
f.,
satisfaction was- expres" ed by the participa
tors, a large party Of lad. and lassies from our
neighboring coon y of iChautauque, whose
faces were wreath d wit : smile'i . , bearing the'
semblance Of •per ct joyment, while their
occornpanying baud disc'i
ursed "sweet music,

were also on hand, mu 1: to the amusement
of the Wheys; and the i fire crackers, whiCli
l
played around them as l ees Imz round an in
under who wears their Ipremises. In fine, it
waa a happy day for all, and closed by great
ravages on sundry box s, barrels and hogs
heads, every thing in f '
et that would make a
light, was called into r quisiton by the rising
generation who kept u "bonfiries and illu
minations" till quite la e, when all retired to
rest apparently well satisfied with the passing
events of the day:
Moreland v. 3 Erie
It is seldom that we feel disposed to quarrel
with a neighboring town, or to indulge in that
kind of invective or newspaper w: 'Ow which
is so well calculated to sever all ties of friend:.
ly relations-which should always exist between
neighbors, and in fact between, all mankind;
and we Would now refrain froth making any.i.
remarks calculated to call forth a rejoinder,'
and perhaps angry words', did we not consid
er it our bounden duty, in 'self defence. The
eitizezth of Cleiciand have always Melted up
on those of this city with . a jealous eye, and
have nutlet the least occasion slip, which of-
feted itself in the most minute form, for in
dulging in a sort of low miftrable
against our city, our harbor, and on-hprivate
citizens , :--and they have thus digged a ditch,
broad and deep, between t s, which in all prob
abi'ity will never be covert; over. The cause
of-all this is from the fact that we have a bet
ter harbor than they, and because our canal,
the very hest and shortest route from the - lakes
'to the Ohio river, has made them feel, of late,
our importance as a commeroial town. We
would say to those - gentlemen (4) that it is
perfectly, useless for them to publish to the,
world such stiements as appeared in the
Plain Dealer a week or two since, for every
one who has ever been inside .our beautiful
bay knows themtikbe faS. There is bnt one
shoal in our whale bay, “long crooked ehan
pel" and all, and that is a short bar with nine
feet ten inches water at the lowest ebb, which
is-during a prevalent north-east wind. • But
we dont intend to go into details in this mat
ter, and would only- add. that hiAiver much
they may say there are several things about
us which they cannot alter; viz: our co.mmo
dious, and always accessible harbor, the in
creasing prosperity and commercial interests
of oar town; our pleasiint and healthy location,
and above all, and probably what effects them
most, the already enormous and rapidly in
creasing business of our Erie Extension C
anal. These things are facts known to all who
call here, and we repeat that any thing they
can say to the contrary cannot alter them.—
Cleveland we have never had the- plcaiure of
visiting, but we presume we do it, no-more
than justice when we say that it is a pleasant,
enterprising. and buSiness town, and how
would we lookin the eyes of comm u nity were
we to say. to the contrary.? Why they would
laugh at us for a Odic - Wong stupid dolt. We
ask our neighhers of Cleveland to put on these
Spectacles and their will see how th . ey appear,
in their extraordinary andfruitless endeavors
to injure our town, not only here, bat in ail
places, where we tere,knoWn.

( r.„ , A query has just arisen in bur mind
upon reading a whip paper in which an at
tempt made to prove that alt the officers in
the army are whip. It it this. :Is it essen
tial that a man should lie possessed of the
‘ipure" principles of modern whigery in order
to be a good general? It would seem by the
efforts made in certain quarters that this was
the case—but we are almost disposed to do t ubt
it. Will the Fredonia. Censor give us their
opinion in• the matter? 1.
A man, name unknown to us, in stopping
from the dock to the deck of a canal boat on
Tuesday last, fell between the heat and" the
dock and was so much injured in the head
that his life is despaired of. Ile has - , a wife
and two children, is an Irish emigrant and

say the midst of life we are: in, death."...

by imitation of the chief Engineer of the tire
department of that city. They were received
at the dock by Chief Engineer Ball, and es.
totted to a table of good things prepared by
our firemen of which-they partook with a right
good Will. After the repast'was over they
returned to the boat, under the escort df oar

R SINGULAR CASE.
The following extract from a lettdr,written
by' an officer of an English East•lndiaman ' to
ti. friend in London, and dated from the Indian
Ocean, on the way to Bombay, relates an oc
currence which, although not unprecedented,
shows what a degree of energy, physical - and
mental, a women is capable of; when- actin .
under the influence of any particular passion:l
"A young person of the age of seventeen
entered on board of (Mr ship at 'Eloptford, as
an ordinary seaman, under the mime of Gem
Thompson, who p rformed all the 'Mikes of
his station with -emarkablp stearin ess and
dexterity, an 4 wetld perhaps hip)e r mained
undiscovered the rest of the veyag , had of
the following circumstances led ttt,the di Sc vi
ery.. A theft, having been com-mitte pn
board, a general search was the eensequ nde;
on ixatning Thenopson's chest, ther was
found a woman's apparel. •1
-
Upon which, the officer on duty conchujed
ho must have stolen them when on shore,
therefore ordered hits three dozen lashes;
when they attempted cnforking the punish
ment, he burr:tint° tears - , solemnly protested
his innocence,-'and besought mercy; the Mil
•cer continued inflexible; when entreaty was
found vain, with much. reluctance she ac
knowledged her sex; judge what astonish
ment prevaded the mind of every one on board
who little expected to find iu-the person .of
George Thompson, ' a blooming - youthful .
girl. Being questioned by the Captain who
she was, and what couldinduced'her to take
so extraordinary a step, she rerdied her nam
was sfargaret Thompson; she had left her unL
cle, who lives in Northumberland street, to see
her sweetheart, who quitted England throe
years since and is now, resident at Bombay;
the resolution with which she performe the
most arduous tasks, mounting-, aloft 3 kwith
amazing intrepidity in the midst of dangers
even when the most,experienced seamen
daunted, astonished every- one; her patience
and per Severance, during live months hard
labor, can be equalicionly by her fortitude in
the atte,npt."'
-HUMANITY OF ASSIBRICAN SOLEVIERS.--.; he
ifollowing extract from a letter written by
Captain Lcescr, atukpublished in d late num
ber of•the Iteading - lournal, is an interesting
evidence of the humanity of our volunteeis to
a conquered enemy:. • . .
"One puorfellow, when the line halted, the'
was carrying a large bundle,) seated hirnfeiff
upon, the ground, end actually ate the grhss
with seeming pleasure. One of the iollers
then gave him setae water: he drank it largo
' ly, and by motions thanked him, and rettirited
again to the grass.- pee: Worth, just then
passing, stopped and orderedlone of his Men,
who happened-to •have some- crackers ill,ith
him, to give the poor fellow some. This;
4WAS done: the man ate 'More like a mania
that a christihu. When ho had finished, he
fell upon his knees and thanked him. ' Souni
pae who spoke Spanish asked him wlieoo
had last eaten; and he saill thht for,five days+
nothing, not oven water, had passed his Nis.
"Another and more affecting case decured
a few moments afterwards, as I was walking
1 down towards the city. A quite well-dressed,
Spaniard came up. to one of opr soldiers whe
was standing ' r eiiard over the' arms that the
t• 15
Mexicans had stacked, eating a small piece of
•
cracker, and oared him, fifty
,cents for it.- 1
The soldier refused his money, but gave him
a whole cracker; (you Must understand that
a soldier's cracker is'about five inches square.)
The man' thaeked him, and turned again to r
wards the city, when there' came three little
hays and la girl, Oar:ping' their hands in joy'.
The father divided his cracker with the little
ones into;tourpieeee, (this occurred not more
than 30' feet frotn .the soldier,) and turned
again to get another. The guard was look
ing

ground, left his post to. Meet hitn, (this act,
under Ordinary circumstances; is:punishable.
