(IF Our readers will excuse the want of variety
in this day's paper. To many of them, however, we
have no doubt, the statement of the County accounts
for the past year, will prove interesting.
A SUP eßsTiTtous Noviont•—We have often heat
of a mode of discovering drowned persons, which is
alledged, by those who practise it, to be a neverlail
log expedient. It is to take a shirt of the deceased,
and drop it into the water near the spot where be went
down—the garment, it is said by those who have
faith in the charm, will sink at the spot where the bo
dy lies. We were gravely told that one of the two
persons drowned theother day, was found by resorting
to this means. His shirt was dropped into the river,
floated down some distance, and sunk. They drag
ged fot him at the spot, and the body was brought up !
We do not. know whence this superstitions notion was
derived, but it is much better burning the people
on the suspicion of practising witchcraft. There is
one difficulty in the way of its becoming generally
practised. Many a poor fellow who drops or throws
himself into the river, leaves no odd shirt behind him
`with which the experiment might be tried.
QInaTIONS TOR Dra►ttaa SOCICTISII.—A flash
lovable club some where down East have beee die_
cuseing—" which is the worst, a bad egg or a bad
oyster." It was finally seuled, that the President
should eat three of each, and then decide the matter.
Another question that has called forth much forensic
` talent, is, "does a man when drowned go the way of
I all flesh or of all fish." The President said the speak
ers had found the very bottom of their subject. But
the best question for debate that we ever heard propo
-1 sed, was, "whether a chimera, ruminating in vacuum,
devours second intentions." This was proposed in
the Knickerbocker some years ago, but has never been
,settled to the satisfaction of the searchers after knowl
edge.

pleasure in observing the steady progress of nor city
toward commercial greatness, should walk mould
by the wharf above the Monongahela Bridge, and sea
the business now doing upon that new and impittant

are profusely scattered about, giving an air of bustle
and business activity to the locality that it never won

UNITED STATES SENATOR.
It is now rendered almost certain that the :Haw.
Janes Buca•Nset will receive the appoinhellsw of
Secretary of State, under the new administration.
His acceptance of that appointment will vacate, his
seat in the Senate. The homage which is des to a
great and powerful mind, that has been so keg alas°
actively engaged in promoting the interests sad ad..
ranting the glory of the Country, mufti extort *Oft
every bosom a feeling of the deepest regret, thaa hiela
manly and eloquent voice will no longer be hearsi
1 the Senate chamber, and that regret will be heighten
ad by the reflection that poerNy his place may sot be
filled by such another. To say that that noble Senator
has no compeer in the state, would be insidirrasresivt
%icily he has but few, who can measere the extra a
the honor and glory and advantage that the Sate sled
the Union have received by the sabre and sweetie
exertions of his great end powerful eded? .
Whams
estimate the loss that aright have bop f ema if a Sew
ator less distiaguished than 'himself bad stood in his
place? These are questions of deep and serious inter
, est and at once point out the necessity of basin for
his successor a man not less able than himself; am* a
Man is the Hon. R. COEILTER,---disliagaisbei las a
lawyer—but more distinguished as a great and pow
orful orator—his name is the synonyms of honor, atod
his mind the model of all that is admired and rented
in intellectual greatness. In selecting the succour
of Mr Buchanan, local and sectional prejudices Amid
have no place—the old Keystone is but one, and her
glory and her interests are the same—they have no
East and West—no geograpical lines sunder them
apart. In Mr Coulter the new administration would
find a hold, decided and eloquent champion—his pow
erful mind and unsurpassed eloquence wash! g r ee his
a position in the senate chamber that wottid idiot
honor on his constituents and procure fee %gra
name not less illustrious than that of his .
