A Hint. - The following pieceof wagjery appeared in a down east paper, and we copy it for the benefit of those living mpertinences who follow the practicein Lhis city.- Buff. Pilot. Wanted. - One hundred and seventyfive young men of all shapes and sizes, from the tall, graceful dandy, with hair enough on his upper works to stuff a barbar's cush ion, down to the little humpbacked, freckled face, bow-legged, carrotheaded upstart. The object is to form a gaping corps, to be in aüendance at the church door, nn each Sabbath before the commencement of divine service, to staret the Témales as they enter, and make ielicnte and gentlemanly remarks on heir person and drcss. All who wish to inliat in the above corps, will please ippear at the various church doors next Sabbath morning, where thcy will be 3uly inspected, and their ñames, personal nppearance, and quality of Irains registered in a book kept for that purpose, anc published in the newspapers. To prevent a general rush, it will be well to state that none will be enlisted who possess in tellcctual capncities above that of an or dinary well bred donkey.Jïdvice lo Young Ladia. - Young woman [ need not teil you to look out for a husband, or Iknow that you are fixing contrivances to [o catch one, nnd are as nal'irally on the watch is a cat is for a mouse.

Five vires ate used, with oak posts, costing only ibout 12 L cents per yard. The topwire is No. 8, and the others No. 5. Thia fence s 3aid to beclieaper than one of boards, or of posts and rails.

Punishncnt of Dnelling in Oregon.-From the diary of a gentlemen now redding Vn Oregon, wemake the following extract, whic hows how the code of honor is there dis countennnced: Co0rts or Law, Nov. 2.- Attended Cou this day as spectator. Doctor Babcock's the presiding Judge. indeed k looked like a land of Inw and order. One criminal was fined 500 for aending a challenge, was rendered ineligible to any office of trust or profit, and was deprived of the privilege of' voting at anyelection. He was drawn as a juror before the prand jury broug-ht in a bül againet him, and by order of the Court his name was erosed from the list. 1 may heresay that Dr. Babcock has sustnined a very respectable posifmn in the comtnuniiy in all respecte, and now exercises the functions of judge of probate and circuit courts.

Some read, some tleep nnd others converse, doubtless most lovngly on loveable pubjects and are kindly afl'ectionafe one towards another. But e meniions a particular case as coming under his own observation, which is altogether too refreshing a story'not to be cir culafed in this hot season. The singers, in warm weather, took care to be provided with refreshments, and thu tliey replenished their outer man while the con- gregarios fed the inner man on less substantial food. One very warm afternoon the singers had watcr-melons and lemonade wherewith to console ihemselves, andt happenred tfrat one of the gentlemen, in doing the agreeable to his lady vis a vis, upset the ïemonade jug. The ífoor of the singing loít not being quite water tight, the Ïemonade trickled through and the congregation sat under the 'droppings of the sancluary,' more literally than they expected or even desired.
