Now we do not crave the entire trade of t.llS enterprising town, still, if our friends but exercise
a little patience when we happen to be full and more, we will dance attendance to the utmost

condescend to ape the custom of boasted superiors, and dismiss them with barbarian rudiness
but with than/cs for the call, cheerfully renew the invitation. .

that we will give more Goods for the same amount of money, than any merchant in Norwalk.
If perchance we have a neighbor so averse to "acknowledgments,” as to accept this challenge,
we hope he will keep his angry passions down and give us a fair contest, for in good faith this
oi‘f-er is made ; and for the benefit of “THIS PEOPLE,” whom also we summon to adjudge.
Fact SL’L‘0.‘l-'.'l, is the amount of Goods on hand, and if in calculations we happen to fall short a.
few thousand yards, then it must be borne in mind the difficulty of arriving at the preczse quan-
tity, and if you please, set this down as an error of the head.

I MISCELLANY.
CAUGHT A TARTER.
VVe found ourselves a few days since
on board the floating palace, the ‘Burling-
ton,’ commanded by the noble and gentle-
manly Captain Sherman, gliding over the
waters of the beautiful Champlain. The
day was beautiful,and the passengers had
sought the promenade deck to enjoy the
attractive scene. Good humor and delight
shone upon every feature,as they in groups
gazed upon the enchanted scenery, chatted
and promenaded. Among the crowd
shone conspicuous three pompous speci-
mens of monarchy, whose stiff cravats,
straight-buttoned surtouts, and military
airs, indicated their profession, and who
bore upon their frontispiece the Royal
Coat of Arms—telling that they wore it
by permission of Her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria. With Majesty in their mien, and a
lordly contempt for the dwellers in pump-
kin land upon their royal brows, they pac-
ed the deck in evident satisfaction with
themselves,and with an occasional glance
of condescending pity upon the Yankee
natives about them. At length their eyes
met on one of those queer specimens of
New England production frequently seen,
from every feature of whose face spoke
the Yankee. He was a lank six-footer,
with a sauntering air, his hands thrust in-
to the pockets of his coat, his cap set on
the back of his head, and, with a supreme
indifference to all about him, was lazily
ll
' pacing back and forth before the British
officers, whistling Yankee Doodle. He
chanced to wear upon the front of his cap,
stamped in leather,_the American Eagle,
with some appropriate motto. Taking
advantage of this, and wishing to have a
little sport at his expense, one of the rep-
resentatives of royalty accosted him with,
‘Well my friend,I see, you wear the
eagle ; I suppose you belong to the army.’
‘Not exactly,’ replied the Yankee, ‘but I
have the pleasure of informing you that I
hold a lieutenant’s commission in the
Second Company of the 13th Regiment of
lnfantryof the State of Connecticut.’
‘Indeed !’ said the officer. ‘Is that the
regiment in which they use pumpkin vines
for trumpets,and bean poles for musllcts 'l’
‘Look here, Mr. John Bull,’ said Jona-
than, ‘if thatls your game you‘ve woke up
the wrong passenger. May-be pumpkin
vines and bean poles would do to thrash
the impudence and starch out of you bull-
headed beef-eaters, but on a pinch we can
muster yet a few of the same old muskets
and Long Toms with which that pumpkin-
eaten Yankee, M’Donough, once made

British flag on this frog-pond of ours and

‘Why, I think we,d lick you like thunder.

‘Take Quebec’! Why, we'd walk into

THE WAY TO GET .5.‘ _vo'ri:.
The election, for the borough of M , ,
,was close at blind ; there were two candi-
;dates in the field, whose influence was so
nearly balanced that a_ necl.-and-neck con-
test wus expected. Under these circum-
slilnccs every vote was of consequence,
and the utmost exertions wereused by the
friends of both candidates to draw stran-
gers out of their opponent's ranks.-

soon FEELING
We knew a blunt old fellow in the State
of Maine, who, sometimes hit the nail on
the head more pat than the philosophers.
He once heard a man praised for his
“good feelings.” Everybody joined, and
said the man was possessed of excellent
feelings.
“What has he donel” asked our odd
genius.
"Oh ! in everything he is a man of line,
benevolent feelings,” was the reply.
“What has he done ?” cried the old fel-
low again.
By this time, the company thought it
necessary to show some of their favorite’s
doings. They began to cast aboutin their
minds, but the old man still shouted:
“What has be done 7”
They owned that they could not name
any thing in particular.
“Yet,” answered the cynic, “you say
that the man has good feeling. Now,
gentlemen, let me tell you that there are
people in this world who get a good name
simply on account of their good feelings.
You can't tell one generous action that
they ever-performed in all their lives, but
they can look and talk most benevolently.
I know a man in this town that you would
all call u surly, rough, and unamiable man,
and yet he has done more acts of kindness
in this country than all you put together.
You mayjudge people's actions by their
feelings. butl judge people’s feeling by
their actions.
We beg leave to apply this touch-stone to the
so called Liberty party. With all its profess-
sions of good feelings for the poor slave, what
has it done? Oh! Texas.
.57; Original ./9neca'ote.——The Portland
Argus relates that Capt. K , a shrewd
steamboat captain from the State of Maine,
caught 3 “Jeremy Diddler” on bear] in’:
boat one day, as he was making a passage'
from Boston to “down east,” and pinned
him up in good style° It seems the fellow
laid a traverse to get clear of paying his
fare, and insisted to the clerk that he had
paid, but lost his ticiet. Whom did you
pay'l asked the clerk. Why, be rather
guessed it was the captain. So K., was
summoned to the conference. Oh yes,
ycs,~says Capt. K. appears to me I do re-
collect. Lez me see, you gave me a five
dollar billl Yes, says Diddler, I did.-—
And I gave you your change in half dol-
lars, didn’t I’! (The fare was only half a
dollar——competition was high.) Yes,says
Jeremy, that's it—-I recollect it perfectly.
Very well, says Capt. K. I won't dispute
our word for anything-but if you please,
I should like (rise: the halves ! The fellow
was tripped when be least expected it. He
could not produce the halves, and bad to
fork out his fate.
A new female sect has just appeared in
a part of Ohio, called ‘The Female Kings,’
who assert the order of nature has ben re-
versed-that the time has now arrived when
the last shall be first, consequently that
woman is the lord of creation, and man
her servant. They sit in judgment upon
the saints ,- are endowed with eternal life ;
are proof to injury; and are under the
special care of the Lord--fed,clotlied and
preserved by his power. They have suc-
ceeded in making a great many converts,
and the infatuated creatures have left their
families and are wandering about without
scrip, and without purse, taking no thought
of the marrow, led, as they think, by the
Spirit “to follow the Lamb whithersoevef
he gocth.”--JV‘. Y. Globe.
LIFE.
Tugging, striving, year in and year out,
perplexed, tired, disappointed, revengefnl.
Such is life. Full of hope to-day; to-mow
row we are gene. We form plans for the
future, and die before they are matured.
Riches are honrded up for old age, and our
executors scatter them to the winds.
Young has truly said :
_“Ah! what is human life?
How like the dial’s tardy moving- shade,
Day after day slides from us unperceived !
The cunning fugitive is swift by stealth ;
Too subtle is the movement to be seen ;
Yet soon the hour is up-—and we are gone."

The old captain kept his" \vord. He
was one of the first who tendered his vote
at the election on the following day.

captain, with a look of defiance towards
the Tory candidate.

at his breast, grasping his hand‘ cordially.
It was the very person who the day before
canvassed h‘i.n on behalf of Sir John.
-The captain perceived in an instant
how he had been honxed, but it was too
late to remedy his mistake; and, to com-

date to whom he had given his vote,'was

Old Psalm Tunes.——Thcre is,.to us, more
touching pathos, heart thrilling expres-
sions, in some of the old psalm tunes, feel-
ingly displayed, than in the whole batch of
modernistns. The strains go borne, and
the ‘fountain of the great deep is broken
up’—-—the great deep of unfathonable feel-
ing that lies far, far below the surface of
the world-hardened heart; and as the un-
wanted, yet unchecked tear, starts in the
eye, the softened spirits. yield to their in-
fluence, and shake off the load of earthly
care, rising purified and spiritualized, into
a clearer atmosphere.-—Strange inexplica-
ble associations brood over the mind ‘like
the far of dream of paradise,’ mingling
their chaste melancholy with musings of
a still, subdued more cheerful character.
How many glad hearts in the olden t.-imes
have rejoiced in these songs 0f P"§"5e_-
how many sighed out their complaints in
those plaintive notes that steal sadly, yet
sweetly on the ear-'-hearts that, now cold
in death, are laid to rest, round that sacred
tune, within these walls they had so often
swelled with emotion.--Blaclcwoocl.

troubles at these docks between the Irish
laborers and the contractors. The I;-ls};
having struck for an increase of wages, is
new set of laborers (Gerrndns) were ob;
tained, but they were unable to proceed
on account of the Irish, who threatened
their lives if they dared to work. These
Germans were engaged at the same prices
paid the Irish when the strike commenc-
families, persisted in occupying the ab“.
tics erected upon the grounds by the Com‘
pany. To remove these, the contractors,
Messrs. Stranahnn, Voorhis & Co., caused»
notices to be served on, the squatters to
vacate the premises forthwith. Their pro-’
ceedings for ejectment are summary, and
founded on the statute respecting forcible’
entry and detaincr. The most effective
means for removing the ‘hold over” Irish,
and protecting the German laborers; were
taken‘ yesterday, by- stationing troops
round the works and throughout the adja-
cent district. The Irish had manifested in
spirit so determined, that the precaution
\\ as taken of planting cannon, loaded ultli
grape and cahnister, in it commanding po:
sition, to be used in case of need. The
greatest excitement prevailed yesterday
afternoon; but it was thought that the
meausures taken by the authorities, to re-
sist any force that might be employed to
drive the new men from their work, would
deter the turn-outs from’ any farther hos-’
tile proceedings. ,
The troops ordered out consist of fivé
Brooklyn Companies. They were under
tlic command of Maj. Gen. Underhill, and
were to _remain on sgrvice all last night.-
Thc riotei-s, some three or four hundred
in number, retired from the Dock on the
appearance of the troops. About 200'
Germans were puton the work yesterday,
