Advtitture in a Mill.
, • .
- A get‘tleraart of New York formerly of this sec
tion, related the followinglineident, wllle we were
enjoying the luxury of a cool sea breeze on a hot
summer's night. The subject of conversation was,
the narrow escapes from death that are -often ex
perienced by mankind in the ups and downs of
life.
When my father, said he, emigrated to Jefferson
county in the days of its first settlement he located
with his family in one of the southern towns, A
mong other improvements on his premises, there
had.beetferecteil one of the fi re t essentials to a
new settlement—a saw mill. It was one of those
old-fashioned concerns common in those days, rigged
withAbe.huge undershot water wheel, long heavy
pitman, and cumbrous saw frame. Those unwieki
ly wheels are now quite;.forgotten in-the improve
ments that hare been made in these agents, but r

mill.

In a recent case tried at brookl n for the recnv
cry of a debt, it was decided by udge Rockwell
that a man living with a woman, nd calling her
his wile, and informing othersthat
( lie was his wife,
make her so to all legal intents rut . purposes, and
becomes answerable for her debts., He further tie
'bided that a person so circuinstaUccld cannot marry
while the woman is living whom hp declared was
his 'wife, without incurring the riski of a charge of
bigamy. While we concur in the pinion that the
i
man is answerable foi i ,the debts a woman who
he declares is his wife, and ought of right to 'be
compelled to pay them, we cauno reeeguize the
further decision, that he commits t e crime cif big

Reminiscence of falton's first Voyage.
Some twenty years since, I formed a traveling
acquaintauce,' upon a steamboat on the Hudson
river, with a gentleman, who, on that occasion,
related to me some incidents of the first voyage of
Fulton to Albany, in his steambat the Clermont,
which I have never met with elsewhere. The gen
tlentau's name I have lost, but I urged him, at/the
time, to publish what he related t, which, however,
so far as I knew, he has never done.
I chanced, stud my narrator, to be at. Albany on
business, when Fulton arnved there hi his unheard
of craft, which every body felt so ranch interest itt
seeing. Being ready to leave and hearing that thia
craft was to retnrn to New York, I repaired on
board, and enquired for jllr. Fulton. I was - referred
to the cabin, and I there found a plain gentleman:
)y man, wholly alone and engaged in writingi,
"Mr. Fulton, I presume." •
" Yes, sir:' . .
" Do you return to New York with this boat I"
" We.shall try to get back, sir."
" Can I have a passage down I"
" You can Lake your chance with us, sir."
I inquired the amount to be paid, and after a mo
ments In4.itation, a sum.l think six dollars was nn•
Med. The amount in coin I laid- in his open hand,
and with an eye fixed upon it. he remained so long
motionless that I supposed- there might be a mi -
count, and said to him, "Ia that right, sir 1" ThiS
roused hint as front a kind of revery, and as. he
looked up at me-, the big tear was brimming in his
eves, and his voice faltered as he said.- Excuse me
but mereory'sVas false as I contemplated
the first pecuniary reword I have ever received fOr
my exertions in adapting steam to navigation. I
would gladly commemorate the occasion over a bot

had - heel.: •g,rcatly imprbved. and tr,-o new boats
made, ranking Mon's tle,•t three boats' regularly
plying between :iew York and Albany, I took pa,§-
s.rtt in one of these for the latter city.
The cabin in that day, was below; and as I. walk
ed its length t aid fro, I saw I was closely obser-
vel by one I f.upriosed a strand-er. Soon, however
I recalled the featrae. of Mr. Fulton, but witimht
disclosing this I continued my walk and waited the
rti.4.ult. At length in passing his seat our eyes met,
when he sprang to his feet, and eagerly seizing my
'hand exclaimed. I knew it mu-t he you, for your
features have-never e,eapPd me; arid although '1
inn still far fr.•ni rich, yet I venture that bottle
now.- It was ordered and during its discussion I.lr.
F. ran rapidly but-vividly' over his experience of
the world's co!iness. and sneers, and of the bopds;
fear 4, di , appointment; and difficulties that were
scattered through his whole career of discovery, up
to the very point of his final crowning triumph, at
which he so fully felt he had at last arrived. Aral
in reviewing all these -•aid he, I have again and
again recalled the occasion and the incident ofonr
first interview at Affinity; and never have done
so with eat its renewing in ray mind the vivid emo
tion
it originally caused. That seemed and st
doe; seem to me, the turning ptint in my destiny
—the dividing line; betweenjight and darkness, in
my career ut.on earth, for it was the first =tail

A floor - JOKE.—The following joke is too good
for us to take the responsibility of it, particularly
as we were sworn never to mention it, but editors'
oaths, lovers' prihinises, and pastry cooks' pie crust,
are about of a muchness ; so- here goes : Young
mammas , are proverbially fond of displaying the
precious intellects of their "buds of beauty."' ; A
triend of ours, dropping in at the dinner hour of 5 a
youthful pair, not two hundred miles from the city,
was treated to a gratuitous entertainment on the
score of maternal solicitude by the charming IMs
tess. " You've - not seen our shake hands
with the gentleman." Of course Willie obeyed di
rections. and of course our friend as in duty bound,
was filled with admiration from the crown of his
head to the sole of his:feet. "Ile's so polite too,"
urged the mother; "says yes sir, and no ma'am,
and - can use his knife and fork like - a gentleman.'
" Now, Willie." said she, placing:him at the table,
the better to give a practical proof of her assertion;
"now, Willie, what will you havel" Our friend
was all cars for the reply, and prepared to go into .
immediate ecstasies, but no reply came.
"Will you have sonic beans 1"
"No-ol " roared out the precious.
" that the way to speak to your math
? No—what "
" Nu beans !" - shouted the little Curiosity, fling
ing the plate at his mother's held, and upsetting
the soup tureen into our friend's lap. ' 4 ‘ Deliverme
from smart children hereafter,"exclaimed.our friend
as he related to us the mishap, -at the same time
threatening toitull our very inoffensive nose if We
should ever make a capital of it. We did not rel
ish the threat, though we did the story, and' so told
it, in consequence of which, we beg to assure bar
readers, that from this time henceforth, we etansider
our Dose pulled in several places. •
A ROYAL D'hoy.—Freckrick, /King of Prnsija,
was so wmarkably fond of children that he suffer
ed his grand-childr'en to cuter his apartment at nny
time they thought proper One day, as he was
writing injut closet, one of thee young pririces
was playinz at shuttlecock near him. The shuttle
cock happening to fall• on the table at which !the
king sat, he threw it at the young prince, and con
tinued to write.
The shuttlecock happening to fall &second time,
the king again threw it back, looking sternly ae:the
child, who promised that_ no occident of the kind
should happen in future: The sliuttlecock, hoWev
er, fell a third time, and even upon the paper on
which the king was writing. Frederick thee took
up the plaything, and put it into his pocket. • The
little prince humbly asked pardon, and begged the
king to 'return the shuttlecock.
The king refused. . The prince redoubled big! en
treaties, but no attention was paid to them. The
young prince, at length tired of begging, advanced
boldly towards the king put his lands on his sides,
and said in a threatening tone— , .` •
" Will your majesty give me My sliettleencli ?
Say yes or deniand - an answer !
The king immediately , burst-into a 4 of laught

inrned it. to the prince saying—i- •

Twenty-five years ago this 'day, the Erie Canal

and on that day the Seneca Chief," with Ve Witt
Clinton, then _Governor of this State, Lieutentud
Governor Tallmadge, and various Comtnittee 'an
board, left Buffalo for the Hudson River. Along
the entire line of the Canal, within hearing distince
of each other, heavy artillery were placed, andithe
sternly , of the "Seneca Chief" from Buffalo Was
carried to the City - ot New York as fast as sonrid
could travel, and by the same means it was Ist
nounced in 'Buffalo that this great event was k i ti t trn
in New York. This was before the present ode
of communicating information hi - telegraph had been
made known; but the plan was so well execUted
that in one hour and thirty minutes from the fi'ing
of the first gun at ButEtlo, the echo was heard in
New York and returned to Buffalo. It was a :dily
of great rejoicing throughout the State; Audltike

the line was signalized . with great pomp and splen
dor. Every city and Village had prepared its kis
tivaL and throughout the whole line, from the lake
to the Ocean, it was a voyage of triumph. Ontbe
second of November the " Seneca Chief' reatthed
this city, eight days from Buffalo. and on the' fahrth
