The following description of Ihe -.cene at the New York Post Office on the sailing of tiie Cali- f rule mail steamer, we take from the New York Herald. Tbe difficulties described mit, may ao count for the failure oi' a good many people here to receive letters hy the mail before last: Tim new postal ordfer, requiring all letters after tiie first instant to he enveloped stamped, or paid bj letter stami ■■. cr ated Ihe utmost confusion at tne eiiy post offiee. The clerics refused, acoordlng i;> orders, to receive money In payment for letters. Hundreds had assembled at (he Post Offioe to mail their letters, offering to pay postage in current coin of the United States, Lut were told it could not be received, and that they must go aud purchase postage stamps before they could mail their tetters. Tiie consequence was that all the windows of the "general delivery," where ana's post stamp;-; were to he purchased, ■ crowded by long lines in single Sles, waiting their turn to purchase the passage of a letter, aa we have frequently seen the office window ofa moil route crowded with passengers for the same purpose. The cry of "S^OW your tickets" at the entrance of a railroad depot was equal, in this instance, to the cry of the Post Office clerk-.', -'Get your letter stamps.'' The California correspondents werelj terrible Stew and feme. It wanted hut a halt an hour of th.' closing of the mail, and the long columns of men at thu windows bid fair to deprive those behind of the opportunity ol mailing tbeir letters at all. Tbe postage on a letter to California is Uai cents. A gentleman who purchased aquarterof a dollar'.-- worth oi btamps, iu "three cent" tickets, was afterward, told be mnst go back aud buy a peuny Btamp to nakeeveo change, aad ia despair told tbe clerk he would put ou all tbe stamps he had.

For instance, a $10,001) note Hold for if aud one person's assets, estimtaeii by bim at J53,O0O, sold :or $3 50.

V Ni-:w Way toXavigvtk A tUlLROAB Tu.MN.— A curious accident reoenfly oecuned on Ihe New Albany and Salem Railway. Tin* passenger iruin, haying four care tilled with passengers, came to the bridge over .Salt Creek, near BloOmiagton, and the engineer, fearing that ihe previous heavy rains w-ieh had swelled the stream bank full had rendered the bridge Insecure, directed the passengers to gee out of the cars til! in could test ihe strength of the bridge. He crossed on foot, nnd then directed the (iieiuan to start the engine, jump off, and he would "eatoh It" on tbe other side. The train started, and on reaching the center of the bridge it gave way, aud the locomotive and cars were plunged into the strean and instantly disappeared from view. —Burlington {&wa) Tetegraph, Ike. 6, Inialued By the Mi or, Recorder and Common Council uf ihu't ii;/ oi L"" -■iniwlfs, as follows: " ABTICLE IX.

" Why, hello, Tom !" exclaimed a woll known citizen yesterday, under the window of our sanctum, at the same time rushing up aud grasping the hand of a tall, long haired individual whose heavy hoots, mammoth hat and generally rough exterior did not hide th« air aud impress of the gentleman. " Where in the world are you going to in this dress, and with these tools ? Are you crazy, or what V "Not if I know myself, I ain't," was the laconic reply. '• But, my dear boy," continued the other, with a great deal ot earnest solicitude, " you are too old a Csvlifornitiu to be carried away with such reports as have been circulated about the gold discoveries over the bay." " Yes, you talk smoothly," returned Tom, " but a3 sure as Vm a living man, I'm going to try the San Antonio diggins. I know I'm an old Califor- nian, but I've never made anything, and now I'm going back and take a fresh start" "But your seat in the Legislature ? How about that? What will your coustitueatseay 1 Wimt will the Know-Nothing party think ?" "Oh, never mind that," answered Tom, "' my constituents and I understand each other ; and as for the Know-Nothings in the Legislature, they woa't have a gieat deal to do." " But you are losing—" '■* There, that will do." interrupted Tom, " don't talk of my losing.37 Then raising himself at full length aud preparing to depart, he added : " See here, Abner, you talk about my losing. What have I to lose? I've prospected all over the State, aad never could make it win. I left the Dtsmo- crats last summer and joined the Know-Nothings, because I thought our claim had run out, and the Know-No tilings had the right color. I worked their claim, and managed to get to the Legislature, Bat what have I done there—-what have any of us done? Ftitit turned against us ; Fiske turned against us ; Waite gave us the cold shoulder, and to cap the climax, Gov. Johnson has spit on his party." " But, my dear fellow—" " Don't but me, Abner," again interposed Tom, who was now boiling over; "my mind is fixed. There is no room for a claim in the up-country mines—the Democratic party won't have me again —the Know-No things don't pay a half cent to the pan, and my last chance is in the diggings over the Ray.'"—saying which Tom left, leaving his friend in much distress.— Town Talk. TELEGKAPurt..—When it was first reported that Prof. Morse had succeeded in conveying intelligence between Baltimore and Washmgdon, thro' the wires of the magnetic telegraph, one old savant, who had been a schoolmaster, and a member of the Legislature, gave it as his opinion that the report was a "humbug." In fact from his knowledge of " astronomy," he said he knew the thing could not be done! Shortly after, OTleiley's men were seen setting the poles directly by the old man's dwelling. One day he joined tho crowd who were witnessing the operation of stretching the wire. Upon being asked what he thought of the matter then, lie hesitated a moment—assumed an air of importance—and then replied— " Well, gentlemen, while in the Legislature, I gave tiie subject considerable attention, aud after some investigation and reflection, I hare come tu the conclusion that it may* answer very well for ■small packages, but will never do for large bundles—never!" Theue was a famous Irish Member of Parliament who was a glutton at dinner, and who was remarkable for lus neglect of all ablutions. His son was one day standing in the bow-window of the Club iiouse, in London, conversing with Lord Somebody, when the father passed down on the opposite side of the street. " Jack," said the noble lord, "what does make your father's hands so dirty?" "Well," said the affectionate young man, "I believe it arises from a bad habit he has of putting them up to his face." A Falsehood.—If you want to rejoice the internal soul of a reporter, tell him that six women and children have just been tern asunder, limb from limb, in a house around the next corner- that blood is gushing from all the windows and doors—that a steamboat has just " busted," killing all on board—that the Rev. Dr. Exegesis has just cut his own throat—and that an awful andimpene- trable mystery surrounds everything. The value of the hog crop last year in the United States fell abort a little of two hundred millions of dollars, or §50,000,000 more than the cotton crop. It is estimated that 00,000,000 pounds of lard are made in the United States, of which 20,- 000,000 are made in Cincinnati. England and Cuba each take 9,000.000 or 10,000,000 pounds of American lard. The Closing Scene of the Full of Jcrusale from Salftthlol, The fall of our illustrious and unhappy city was supernatural. The destruction of the conquered was against the first principles of the Roman policy, and to the last hour of our national existence, Rome held out offers of peaoe, and lamented our frantic determination to be undone. But the decree was gone forth from a mightier throne. During the latter days of the siege, a hostility, to which that of man was aa the grain of sand to the tempest that drives it on, overpowered our strength aad senses. Fearful shapes and voices in the air—visions startling us from our short and troubled sleep—lunacy, iu ltd most hideous forms—sudden death, in the midst of vigor—the fury of tho elements let looso upon our unsheltered heads—we had every terror and evil that could beset human nature but pestilence; the most probable ofallinthe city crowded with the famishing, tho deceased, the wounded, and dead. Yet, though the streets were covered with the unburied—though every well and trench was teeming—though six hundred thousand corpses lay flung over the ramparts, and naked to tho sun —pestilence came not j if it had come, the enemy would have been scared away. But the "abomination of desolation," the pagan standard, was fixed, where it was to remain until the plough passed over the ruins of Jerusalem. On this night, this fatal night, no man laid his head on the pillow. Heaven and earth were in conflict— meteors burned above us ; the ground shook under our feet; the volcano blazed; the wind burst forth iu irresistable blast, aod swept the living and the dead, in whirlwinds, far into the desert. We heard the bellowing of the Mediterranean, as tf its waters were at our sides, swelled by a new deluge. The lakes and the rivers roared and inundated the laud. The fiery sword shot tenfold fire. Showers of blood fell. Thunder pealed from every quarter of the heavens. laglrl nings, immense sheets, of an intensity of duration that turned the darkness into noon day, withered eye and soul, burned from' the zenith to the ground, and marked its track by the forests on flame and the shattered summits of the hills. Defence was unthonght of, for the mortal enemy had passed from the mind. Our hearts quaked for fear ; but it was to see the "powers of heaven shaken." All cast away the shield and spear, and crouched before the descending judgment. We were conscience smitten. Our cries of remoise, anguish, and horror, were heard through the roar of the storm. We howled to the earth to hide us * we plunged into the sepulchres to escape the wrath that consumed the living—we would have buried ourselves under the mountains. I knew the cause, the unspeakable cause, and knew that the last hour of crime was at hand. A few fugitives, astonished to see one man among them not sunk in tlie lowest feebleness of fear, came around me, and besought me to lead them to fome place of safety, if such were now to be found on earth. I told them openly that they were to die, and counselled them to die on the hallowed ground of the temple. They followed, audi led them through the streets encumbered with every shape of human suffering to the foot of Mouut Mori ah, But beyond that we found advance impossible. Piles of cloud, whose darkness was palpable even in the midnight iu which we stood, covered the Holy Hill. Impatient, and not to be daunted by ar.y thing that man could overcome, I cheered my disheartened baud," and attempted to lead the way up the ascent. But I had scarcely entered the cloud when I was swept downward by a gusli that tore the rocks in flinty showers around me. Now came the last and most wondrous sign tliat marked the fate of rejected Israel. While I lay helpless. I heard the whirlwind roar through the cloudy hill, and the vapors began te revolve. A pale light that ofthe rising moon, quivering on their edges, and the clouds rose, and ^rapidly shaped themselves into forms, and battlements, and towers. The sound of voices heard within, low and distant, yet strangely sweet. S till the lustre brightened, and airy buildings rose, tower on tower and battlement on battlement. In awe, that held us mute, we knelt and gazed on this more than mortal architecture, that continued rising and spreading, and glowing with a sereuer light, still soft and silvery, yet to which the broadest moonbeam was dim. At last it. stood forth to earth and heaven, the colossal imago of ihe iirafc temple, of tin; "Ouililiiigis rillseil by the wisest of men. and consecrated by the visible glory. All Jerusalem saw the image ; and tho shout, that in tha midst of their despair, ascended from Its thousands and tens of thousands, told what proud rememberances were there. But a hymn was heard, that might have hushed the world beside. Never fell on my ear, never on human sense, a sound so majestic, yet so subduing; so full of melancholy, yet of grandeur and command. The vast portal opened, and from it rnarctcd a host, such as man shall never see but once again—the guardian angels ofthe city of David! They came forth glorious, but with woe in all their steps ; the stars upon tbeir lielmlets dim ; their robes stained ; tears flowing down their celestial beauty-—-"Let us go hence," was their song of sorrow. "Let us go hence," was answer ed by the sad echoes of the mountains.—" Let us go hence," swelled upon the niglit lo the farthest limits of the laud. The procession lingered on the summit of tho hill. The thunder pealed, and rose over tho expause of heaven. Their ohorui was heard still, magnificent and melancholy when their splendor was diminished to bright ness ofa star. Then the thunder roared aga. . the cloudy temple was scattered on tho wind ot darkness, the omen of her grave, settled upon Jerusalem How to b.'. lieu milii I. Thk following passage ia from one of Prof. Up- ham's tetters to the \. V. Congregationaliat. Be is speaking of the Captain of tiie steamer En which he sailed from New York. ■ .Vv we were about to start, I saw him ir.ove fo au elevated position above tho wheel : and it. was interesting to see how quickly and completely the inward thought or purpose alters tha outward man. He gave a quick glance to ererj part of the ship. He east his eye over the multitude coming on board the ship, among Whom was the American ambassador to England, who, if the captain may be said to embody the strip, maybe said with equal truth to embody iu his oSloial person a nation's right and hocor. He Saw Ae husbands and wives, the mothers and children entrusted to his pare ; and hia Blender form, . be gave the orders for our departure, seemed at once to grow more erect and firm; the muscles of his face swelled ; his dark eye glowed with a new fire; and his whole person expanded aud beautified itself by thepower of inward emotion. I havo often noticed this interesting phenomenon ; and have come to the couclusion il man or woman either, wishes to realize the full power of personal beauty, it must be by cherishing noble hopes and purposes—by having something to live for, which is worthy of humanity—and which by expanding the capacities of the soul, gives expansion and symmetry to the body which contain-; It is said—by some Yankee, of course—to be an excellent plan always to measure a man's length before you kick him, for it is better to bear an insult than to make an unsuccessful attempt at thrashing a fellow and get your eye-teeth knocked out. A f.vr.mkr who had lately become a widower was aroused at midnight by the loud barking of his dog. On going to it, the animal displayed extreme terror, whereupon tho fanner took his gun and proceeded to un inspection. All at once lie saw a phantom, clothed in a white sheet, rise behind thehedge. The farmer turned deadly pale, ■-'•■ 1 his limbs shook with dismay. He, however. ■ mtrlved to ejaculate, "If you come from God- apeak; if from fhe devil, vanish I" "Wretch:'' exclaimed the phantom. " I am your, deceased wife, come from tlie grave to warn you not to many Maria A , to whom you are making love. The only woman to succeed me is Henrietta A . Marry her, or persecution aud endless torment shall be your doom." This strange address from the goblin, instead of dismaying the fanner, restored his courage. He accordingly rushed OU the ghostly visitor, and stripping off its sheet, discovered the fair Henrietta B-— herself, looking extremely foolish. It is said that the farmer, admiring the girl's trick, has had the bairns published for his marriage with her. A swindle has recently been carried out successfully at the West by a party who hud been forging the acceptance of Mr. P. T. Barnum to draft* which he negotiated, pocketing tbe proceeds. Tlie amount f,f 'hose drafts we have heard variously stated from $20,001) to $80,000. The exact extent of this fraud is probably not yet known. The forgeries were well calculated to deceive those best acqainted with Mr. Barmim's signature. Mr. John Lawrence Bagler, in the Louisville a, offers to bet from $1,000 to $3,O0t)_ that iie can do as follcwa : Jump live feet further ou a dead level than any other man in Kentucky- three feet further that) any man in tha United States—one foot further than any man in the world—or that he can stand Oat-footed upon the earth and leap a brick wall fifteen feet high and four thick. If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, aud poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions. I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the. twenty to follow mine own teaching. A Mrs. Lucinda Thompson recently obtained a bill of divorce from her husband, in Crawford county (Ohio) common pleas, at 8 P. M. At 10 o'clock the same evening she was married to a Mr. Talcott,in the presence of the court and bar. They have a "fast" way of doing business in Crawford. ATflaw Holidat.—A new national holiday, says an Eastern paper, has been proposed by the Penn- sylvauia Historical Society. The holiday is proposed to bo held on thj anniversary ofthe day on which the Constitution of the United States waa formally proclaimed as adopted—the 13th September, 1788. Tim happiness of man arises more from his inward than his outward condition ; and the amount of good in the world cannot be much increasd but by increasing the amount of goodness. Socrates thanked God for three things : first, that he was born a man, and uot a woman ; second, that he was bom a Grecian ; ami thirdly, that he was a philosopher. The blessing ot an active mind, when it is in a good condition, is that it not only employe itself, but is almost sure to be the means of giving wholesome employment to others. A gentleman by the name of Lucas, in Demo- pojis, Alabama, has recently obtained a verdict of $1200 against Miss Lucinda Meiggs, for breach of promise of marriage. It is aremarkabie fact, that no Jew ever fails upon the public for support. To their honor be it said, they take care of all their creed when under misfortune. ^^_________ An editor remarks that some one has written on tlie art of making one happy without money, and savs he is in excellent condition to be experimented upon ? The Statk op Maine.—The Stare ot Maine owns a Merchant Marine valued at over So0,000,000. It is greater than the shipping of any commercial nation in Europe, England alone, excepted. THE Cherokee marriage ceremony is very expressive—man and woman joining hands over a running stream, indicating that tbeir lives may run on in one current lite the water before them.

And Plato did so live. Over two thousand years have passed by since he lived, yet Plato is nn honored name wherever learning and virtue are held ib esteem, Nobody believes the slanders of his envious cou- t.mpornries, Slander ean not live, it let alone. It loves opposition, and thrives upon the excitement it makes. Take no notice of It, and it will booh starve. The backbiter loses his pains, when the oqjeotofhis spite appears insensible of his attacks. He only bites a tile, and destroys his own teeth. If one wishes tO suffer from slanderous attacks, he has only to Ily into a passion, endeavor to trace out the author of the stories told to liis injury, and thus minus the matter a common talk. It is just what the author desired. His shafts have hit the mark, and he is pleased. Whether his stories are true or false, they have produced a fluttering, and there Will be enough to believe them. Plato's method was far better. A good life will not long Baifer from raise accusations. Burned All ive—A Utter iu the New Orleans Picayune, dated Dec. -jth, written from Lexington, Miss., BBy3 : Adaughter ofa very worthy gentleman, while riding on horseback to visit a neighbor, was assaulted by a negro man, who made the most hellish attempt to violate ter person. She struggled in his demoniac grasp and until her strength was exhausted, until she was sadly bruised and lacerated, when a gentleman came in sight. The negro flyd, and the gentleman carried the almost Inanimate* girl to her father's house. After depositing her there, lie raised tiie alarm, aud the people hurried out to hunt the negro. They were not long in finding him. He belonged to the Wader-slate. They brought him into the town of Lexington, and then, in the most public street, chained him to a stake and burned him alive! It is thought the young lady will not survive her injuries. A Slvijclir. Will.—A man named J, de Dios Chacon, recently died at Lima, Peru, leaving a fortune of one million of dollars, all won at tho gambling table, lie willed the whole to a woman residing in the city, on condition that she would give a peseta (quarter of a dollar) each day to every convalescent discharged from the hospital and receive a hundred poor men ami women daily at her table. In case of the legatee neglecting to fill either of the provisions above mentioned, tho usufruct of the money is \p be vested in the Governments of Great Britain aud France on the same condition. -——- ■- -*•> V«»H HI. — An" UxExr'-XTim Finish.—At a temperance meeting in Scotland lately, a person in the hall got up and said: ''ily friends, ihree months ago I signed the pledge. In a month afterwards, iny friends, I had a sovereign in my pocket, a good coat on my back—a thing I never had before. A fortnight after that my friends, I bought a coffin." Tlie audience was going to cheer here, but stopped and looked serious. " You wonder why I bought the Coffin. Well, I. bought it, because I felt pretty certain that if I kept tho pledge another fortnight I should want oue." ——— «h«<»» i»—, More pAonriSjJl than* DIAMONDS.—-A nobleman who had been showing his costly cabinet Idled with valuable rings aud rare and beauhful precious stones to a friend, told him that their value was inestimable, bat that they did not return any income to him. Hia i'rieud replied that be bod only two stones, which cost him ten florins each, but they yielded him two hundred florins a year. On expressing his surprise, the nobleman was conducted to a mill and shown the mill-stouts, which returned more profit than all his diamonds and precious stone1;-. Forty Days Without Food.—A lady named Sillier, upwards of 70 years of age, residing in Uo, biitson ToAinsliip, about eigbi miles from Pitts borg, has been lying seriously ill for nome time. During the past forty days she has not faint 8 morsel nf food of any kind, and her only drink is water. She Is a widow, and the mother of a family.

The ,vumcn who made tho tmttcr in Westchester, DutoheSS and Orange ooun- ties twenty yeare ago, are pernios »wny, ami thero are none to take their places.

The Gospel Messenger argues that the cur_e of the age is line preoehing : it i.s morbid and pes* tileiitial.

The following description of Ihe -.cene at the
New York Post Office on the sailing of tiie Cali-
f rule mail steamer, we take from the New York
Herald. Tbe difficulties described mit, may ao
count for the failure oi' a good many people here
to receive letters hy the mail before last:
Tim new postal ordfer, requiring all letters after
tiie first instant to he enveloped stamped, or paid
bj letter stami ■■. cr ated Ihe utmost confusion at
tne eiiy post offiee. The clerics refused, acoordlng
i;> orders, to receive money In payment for letters.
Hundreds had assembled at (he Post Offioe to
mail their letters, offering to pay postage in current coin of the United States, Lut were told it
could not be received, and that they must go aud
purchase postage stamps before they could mail
their tetters. Tiie consequence was that all
the windows of the "general delivery," where
ana's post stamp;-; were to he purchased,
■ crowded by long lines in single Sles, waiting
their turn to purchase the passage of a letter, aa
we have frequently seen the office window ofa
moil route crowded with passengers for the same
purpose. The cry of "S^OW your tickets" at the
entrance of a railroad depot was equal, in this
instance, to the cry of the Post Office clerk-.', -'Get
your letter stamps.'' The California correspondents werelj terrible Stew and feme. It wanted
hut a halt an hour of th.' closing of the mail, and
the long columns of men at thu windows bid fair
to deprive those behind of the opportunity ol
mailing tbeir letters at all. Tbe postage on a
letter to California is Uai cents. A gentleman
who purchased aquarterof a dollar'.-- worth oi
btamps, iu "three cent" tickets, was afterward,
told be mnst go back aud buy a peuny Btamp to
nakeeveo change, aad ia despair told tbe clerk
he would put ou all tbe stamps he had. (eight) If
he Would only send the letter!

pmc-i by tie assignors upon tiie asset* that were
o !.■■■.[ at thia vale, amounted to about one million
dollars, aa.i they wiil hardly bring two thousand
dollars. Moat of the assets were greatly embarrassed by counter claims, or entirely worthless
fr .va the irresponsibility of the debtors, and. tli
v-'"- ■' id ao ea ani accounts; There were notes
aid obligations for Beveral thousand dollars Lhat
Bold for only a le.v dol ars, and for many of tli
there was no bid given. For instance, a $10,001)
note Hold for if aud one person's assets, estimtaeii

A curious accident reoenfly oecuned on Ihe New
Albany and Salem Railway. Tin* passenger iruin,
haying four care tilled with passengers, came to
the bridge over .Salt Creek, near BloOmiagton,
and the engineer, fearing that ihe previous
heavy rains w-ieh had swelled the stream bank
full had rendered the bridge Insecure, directed the passengers to gee out of the cars til! in
could test ihe strength of the bridge. He crossed
on foot, nnd then directed the (iieiuan to start the
engine, jump off, and he would "eatoh It" on tbe
other side. The train started, and on reaching
the center of the bridge it gave way, aud the locomotive and cars were plunged into the strean
and instantly disappeared from view. —Burlington {&wa) Tetegraph, Ike. 6,
