Musick--four pianos done up since this time last year.

30,000 Pine trees and three saw-mills in Saint Lawrence county:
N. B., well situated!

A large Manufacturing Establishment with unbounded
Water-privileges, in Ulster.

Life and Trust--40 shares daily recovering.

The young gentlemen might wear appended to the third button-hole of the
left breast, epigrammatical notices of 'THE EXPECTATIONS' in which they so
generally abound, as follows:

Uncle Asa has the phthisick, I am his heir.

As I STAND, less my tailor's bill of $1800.

Plenty of LOTS, covered partly with water, partly with

During the slow movement they have deciphered the mottoes, have
ascertained, (no small desideratum in a crowded ball-room!) each the exact

expediency goes, each at a decision; and are ready for question and answer
at the close of the accelerated step.

By the way, as the waltz is now conducted, the employment of the eyes
during the slow sentimental movement seems frequently to the lady a matter
of some degree of e
