Arter he was done up cums another, and he tak‘d a beep a bout Anty Tarriffand Uncle Sam, and Ins other relations—then a feller come out and dubbled up his fist and lookd in a ter rible passion, case somebody they called State Wright had bnen imposed upon— whether twas any of Tom Wright faimiey or not I dont know, but 1 thort he vas right to take his part—one feller what wore a ruffle shirt and a pretty face and a gould brest pin, had a great deal t< say about the wimmin—he called em heavens lastest gift o’man—and said they war stairs of the night and gums of the morning—and a great deal more was sed, which L cant ren ember half on. When I went bak to the tavern, I heard a parcel ofem a talking b gether in a corner pretty low, but when 1 beat deni say somethin about the Guvenir 1 thort 1 had a rite to know what it was; and l 9tept up to them, ami one big bellied axed another, tall feller with a red eye where the Guvernir, was, — I told um the Guver nir was at home a clearing his new ground, and that he had no cashun to go to any sicn a place*—then one man w ith a skinny nose spok up quite peart, and said I knew nothin at all about the mat ter- l told him that was a purty story to tell me, that the Guvernir was my un cle and that I reckoned 1 know‘d sumthin bmt his affairs- Then said a man in whii-kers, you and better go to the cork ass with us, % give us yure advice, says l if 11 do 1 wish may be split, for 1 thort again iof thort again of the phlour barel. But afterwards 1 a*ked a gray headed old man in specs what was meant by Cork ass? says he its a machine that makes guvenners, Corngrasmen, and Legisla tes, hows that says I, it must be a great invention, (for I thort he lied all the t. ; me) says he, w henever an office is va cant, this machine is put in motion, and a kandidate is immediately ground out! every way qualified—says I i‘m not to be humbugd in that way, Iff am I wish X may be split says I, dont the voice of the people declare whoa the tlttingest perso tor offi e, and then dont the peo ple elect him? (for Id heard uncle Steve <mvernorol Mannerwell taulk about these things, afore) says he its all a mistake-- the voice of the people is nothing more th;in the voice of the Coik ass, the peo ple know nothing about it until the cork assdesides it foi them -Says 1 to him a gin its a great invention, if it ant I wish T may be *p!it, it‘ll save a heap of lec* ‘tioneeiin.

S. SINGULAR AND AMUSING CASE. A singular application to tin* civil tribunal of the place has lately exci ted much amusement, as well as at tention in tho town of Dreux. A child, named Hose Victnire Vivien, had, it seems, been born on the 23d of September, 1813, and was duly regig tened, at the time, before the Mayor of the commune of Allainvilf f as a female infant, iri the presence of her father and other witnesses.— From that period to the age of 26 she has constantly worn a girl‘s dress, and been considered a female, nay, it is even asserted that some two year* since she expressed a determination of becoming a nun, and actually pas sed three months of her noviciate a mong the dame Hospitalieres of Cheat res. The death of her uncle, Denis Vivien, however, having secured to her a small property, her views changed, and she began to think of establishing herself othorwise in li'ej but, somehow or other, the young men of Allamville hesitat* and at espousing a damsel of twenty six, was a rather suspicious looking chili, and Miss Rose Victnire Vivien remained in single blessedness If public report is to be believed, this order of things was by no means satisfactory to the young lady; she grew restless and melancholy, fell into a fever; and went to consult a doctor, who, to her inex pressible surprise assured her that, instead of being an old maid she was neither more nr less ihmi a young bar helor. The news al first perplexed, then pleased her and, having commu nicated the fact to her astonished friends, her next step was to apply to Ihe proper authorities, in order to have the registry of her birth rectifi ed. On the 13th ult. her application came on to be heard, and ilm court appointed three physicians (Messrs* Marei hai, Bonateau, and Bortron) to examine into and make a report on the case. This was done ou the Ist inst. when the medical board, to the surprise of every body, pronounced the lady to all intents and purposes a gentleman, and a decree was, conse quently, given in favour of her vertili ty. The moment judgement was giv en, we understand Monsieur Hose Victorie Vivien walked away to tho shop of the Sieur Chaperain, the most fashionable tailor in all Dreux, ex changed his petticoats for a dress more consistent with his newly ac quired privilege, and, aa all hopes of a husband are now out of the question, set off in search of a wife. It is not a little remarkable that according to the French journals, a similar application was made to the same tribunal no lon ger ago than May, 1813, in behalf ot one Marie Marguerite Metey when two of the very same physicians (Messrs. Marechal and Bonrteau) were called in, together with a third named Andre, aud gave in a similar ’ cirtificate, it is also added, that Mr a Mary Margaret Metey, is At this No. 13.
