BOARDINO-ROUSE REOULATIONB.—In
one of the Albany boarding houses, the
following regulations are posted up in the
hall :
" Boarders are requested, when thoy re
tire late to take, off their boots before get
ting into bed.
" Making faces at the landlady not per
mitted.
When a gentleman has eaten suffi.
ciently he should leave the table, and not
glutton until he is obliged to unbutton his
vest.
" Whittling in the parlor prohibited
when the ladies are present.
" Any infraction of the above rules will
lead to a suspension of coffee on the fol
lowing morning."
NEWSPAPER BLUNDERS.--Proof-readers
sometimes occasion most ludicrous mis
takes in the papers. The John Bull re
lates a couple of instances iu its own ex
perience : "About two years since, we
represented Mr. Peel as having joined a
party of "fiends " in Hampshire, for the
purpose of killing " peasants ;" and only
last week, in a Scotch paper, we saw it
gravely stated that a " surgeon" was ta
ken alive in the river, and sold to the in
habitants at 611. and 10d. per pound."
THE VERY Eissz.—A wag was jogging
home rather late and a little happily, when
passing by a dark alley, a two-fisted fellow
stepped out, and seizing him by the collar,
demanded his money. 4! Money I" said
