See First Page.
.Sl. Nicholas' Day.—This is one of the
many Holidays.kept by , the Germans with
feasting, fun 'and, frolicking. It occurred
on the 6th inst., and in some of the eastern
cities it Was celebrated with much spirit.
The N. Y;Tourier, speaking of the cele
bration in that city, says we noticed and
tasted of the rolleljies sad they were admi
rable, as well as a dish of speck and applel
jies—the kool slaw was capital, and the
dyed peas eggs carried us all back to the
cracking days of our boyhood. The de •
kfreken, krullers and cookies were of a
quality that proved the skilful hand of
some genius Dutch housewife in their
manufacture. But what the company
seemed to r.,lish most was the schnaps and
pipes introduced after dinner. With the
latter they-soon contrived to create an at
mosphere most congenial and grateful to .
a Dutchman's lungs. The pipe used by
the President fur this purpose was a pow
erful engine of portentious dimensions,
imported expressly from the mother coun.
try. The first few prodigious columns o
smoke which it belchei forth from its ca
pacions- bowl seemed to startle the unitia
'fed guests."
What a change.—Ten years ago a man
who had the hardihood to speak against
banks was looked upon as a lunatic, or was
threatened with a ride on a rail. Now,
however, things are quite different.. No
man is willing to risk his reputation for
common sense by opposing a hard curren
cy. Presses which once bitterly denoun
ced the frier.ds of gold and silver are now
silent—not a word is lisped on the sub
ject, and Benton, after being slandered
and abused for years is pow enjoying a
short respite. Public o?inion is now where
he was in 1832.
High times among the Boston Prin.
tern.—The Bost .n Times, in a long article,
headed "Robhery of the Boston Post Of.
fice" charges •the editors of the Bee with
-stealing a copy of the "Post Extra," con
taining the President's Message from the
Post office.
Signs of the Times.—Mr. Thompson,
publisher of the New York- Reporter, a
commercial and financial publication, has
written an excellent work against paper
money Banks, and comes out an exclusive
hard money man. Gov. McDonald, two
years ago a strong paper money democrat,
also comes out in his message in favor of
the money of the Constitution and against
paper dollars.
Indignation Meeting.—The citizens of
Norfolk, with the Mayor at the head; have
called a public meeting to consider ' the
outrageous proceedings of the Abolition
ists, and the High Sheriff, and other au•
thwities of Boston, in the case of Latimer,
a runaway slave, the property of Mr.
James B. Gray, a citizen of that Borough."
Saxon Ladies.
If there is such a thing as perfection in females,
we think the ladies of Saxony approximate fearer'
to it than those of any other country on the globe.
There, it is said, that a lady would think nothing
of forgetting her tan when gong to a 11"11, but
could not spend en hour with comfort without her
knitting needles, or other implements of female
indnstry. Even the Theatre is' not protected a.
gain.it "stocking wires." A writrr says he has,
frequently seen ladies lay down their work, wipe
away the tears which the sorro.vs of l'heckla, in
Wet lenstein's death, had brought to their eyes, ano
immediately resume her work."
Would it not took queer to see a I.(dy in our
Theatre, knitting a pair of socks, or making a cap
for the baby?
The "True Whig," a dirty. little Clay sheet is
sued at Washington city, publishes with much ap
probation, the following infamous acrostic on the

Somethinx most Extraordinary I
Messrs Editors:—Yesterday, as I was crossing
the Commons in Allegheny city, my aVentinn
was attracted by the screams of a 13 •ek of wild
geese approaching; from the north. As soon as
my eye caught their, I observed something like
a big hanging to the neck of each, some of which
had a round and plump appearance, ne though
filled with something, and others dangled loosely.
as though partially emptied. At length I observed
something to fall, which I first took to be a leather,
and looking at it till it came to the ground n few
steps from me, I was greatly surprised on coming
up to it to find it to be a small piece of pap
carefully folded np. On the inside to my gre
astonishment was written as follows,—
"We are messengers fr-tn the North Pole, which
" is now on fire, and we are sent to warn nations
" to send on their fire Engines, without delay and
" prevent a dreadful catastrophe, or Miller's pro
phecy will fulfilled. A great white Bear
1. 4 who had climbed the Pole before the fire began,
"to look out for prey. or for amusement, co they
" frequently do, is still clinging to the Pole, in
" utter astonishment at the new state of things,
" Inaing cautiously round from side to side. He
" has gradually advanced along the Pole till he
" has nearly reached the north star. The weather
" has been so cold for the last three months, that
" the sparks which fly off from the fire are imme •
" diately frozen into starry brilliants more beau -
" tiful than diamonds of irst water. The fire is
" supposed to have been caused by friction. Tho
"Nantucket whalers have made such dreadful ha•
voc of latter years in these regions, that oil en
" ough cannot be had to keep the axtetree oiled as
regularly as such a vast machine should he, and
• if the nations continue to require sn great a sup
.. ply,thoy must send on their lard oil in exchange.
" Ring your fire bells in all directions and bring
"on your fire engines !I The fire is now work
" ing its way rapid'y into Symmes' Hole. It is
• hoped however that the axle tree ie coated only
• with wood to keep the inner material Iron rust
" ing, and when that is burned off the fire will
"cease. In *tat case you will have to send on
"carpenters and workmen to repair. The poor
I "F:qui:flour Indians are gathered round in thou
sands to warm their hands and roast their Yen
" isnn."
Such is the puephrt of this strange le:ter. I
was at a loss at first to know what steps to take,
but it soon occurred to me that the best way
would he to lay it before you, gentlemen, Edit.as
of the Morning Past, for advice whether our fire
engines should not be mustered and burnished, all
quarrel's cease in a common cause, and the spike
taken out of the Vigilant.

Pantaloons—H elders arc in a tight pla-e; but
are unwillinz to let go. Like rno-t merchants,
they evince con-iiderable anxiety about the state
of their draw's s. People have an eye to bu. tons
for convenience sake.
Suspendees—Bu-iness in this al. , icle is over the
left shoulder. Holders are anxious to let go to
wards b , -(1 time but are ready for buckling too
early in the morning.
Stocks—lt is neck or nothing with dealers in '
these articles. Holders get uneasy in the middle
of the day, and in transactions are pert erly wile
hog to throw oJ. Stocks were stej last week,
but the w •ather effects them considerably at
present.
Waistcoats —No transactions, people have no
money to in-vest this article, and pockets are
empty.
Gloves—This commodity is very little hand
led. He whoftwers in them finds it hard to get
clear. The chief dealers are among the a wrist
ocracy
Canes—These articles rise and fall. Attribu

Hankerchiefs—Mnch sought for, and holders in

In those tim-s, cavern my. formility,
singing and sentiment were altogether no.
known. Rebecca was a zoodgirl, and
jumped at the first good offer.
We could have picked out a better
text to preach before the honorable and
venerable fraternity, viz:
'Jacob kissek achael,'
That is something substantial for bach
elors to say grace over, the other text WIIS
for the benefit of Rebecca altoge.ther.
•Jacob kissed Haehael.
And lifted up his voice and wept'
How pathetic! The fact is, time and
the frshions make strange ir.roads upon
poor human nature. Here was Jacob ,
scouring the country to Link for a wife.
and on a fine sunny day, in the valley of
Padanaram,he aaw her at a dis'ance, draw
ing water from a well, being bare footed
and without ceremony he ran toward her,
and in the language of the Good Book.
'kissed her, and lifted up his voice and
wept.' We have no account that Rachael
boxed his ears for his rudeness, as in these
days 'of simplicity and innocence' she
would have done, particularly in 'good so—
ciety.'—Norwich Aurora.
Hear! Hear!!—The ultra whirrs uinaes

and degrading doctrine of universal suf
