A Hot Weather Sigh from the Sanc
tum.
The editor of a paper published ii
Philadelphia thirty years ago, (the num
ber of which before us bears date of Ju
ly 1st. 1828,) says the Bulletin, thus po-
etieallv laments his inability to “ wet a-
way” from his “ sanctum-onerous” du
ties. But bear hint:
O Saratoga, Lebanon, Niagara and Ball-
ston!
Tbe heart that doesn’t sigh for you this
weather must be all stone—
The fashionable girls are off, and so are all
the fellows,
And I am puffing like a pair of apoplectic
bellows.
The pavements are all hissing hot, the sky
above is braxen.
And every bead’s as good as dead the sun
can lay bis rays on;
The market smells most horribly—it’s death
to go to dinner,
And I expect to melt away—I do—as I'm a
sinner!
The lean, like walking skeletons, go stalk
ing, pale and gloomy.
And the fat, like red-hor warming pnns,
send hotter fancies thro' me.
I wake from dream of Polar ice, on which
I was a slider,
Like fishes dreaming of tbe sea and waking
on the spider!
Ye steamboats on the Deleware—fifteen-
twenty milers—
It makes my fancy cool to hear the hissing
of your i.bilers”—
Your crowds of lucky passengers, all cool
ns Holland skaters.
And the pnnehes iced so thrillingly by your
white apron'd waiters
I sigh to think of all these things—l wish
that I was able
To ..cut” the thousand manuscripts that lie
upon my table
If I could coin tbe flesh I've lost, ir make a
horse of sorrow.
I'd be upon the road to Fa atoga Springs to
morrow

A RICH SCENE IN A CIRCUS.
Smne iimesip.ee a rieli scene occurred
in a neighboring town, which, as they
say about railroad accidents and s'eam-
lmat collisions, “beggar’s description.”
Those of our readers who have attended
the circus will recollect having seen an
amusing masquerade enacted, in which
the only characters aie the ring masters
and one of the performers—the latter
making his'appearance in r agged, un
couth apparel and apparently severely
afflicted with ardent spirits, and insist
ing upon taking a ride.
The ring-master remonstrates (as the
piece goes) and insists upon the inebria
ted individual leaving the ring; but %
ua’lv compromises the matter with him.
and he is allowed to mount and try his
horsemanship.
Aftei playing the “drunk” awhile, he
suddenly throws off his rags, and is met
amorphosed into an Indian paddling his
canoe, and then to a King. &c., until lie
goes through with a serins of characters.
This much by way of explanation ; now
to our tale, which, by the way, is true
in every particular.
On the occasion referred to, the drun
ken man appeared in the ring and ex
pressed a desire to ride. The ring-mas
ter remonstrated, and the two seemed
likely to have a serious difficulty. At
this juncture the high sheriff of the
co.untv, who was among the spectators,
fearful that the performance in which
he seemed intensely interested, was to
be interrupted, and being a valorous and
efficient, officer, ever ready to throw him
self into the breach when peace was
threatened, in the discharge of what he
conceived to be his solemn duty.
Re laid his official hands upon the
intruder, as he in his unsophisticated
heart, supposed the former, anti in dig
nified but firm language, ordered him to
‘vamouse the ranch.’ To this the actor
of course demurred, hut. the sheriff was
not to be trifled with. He was discharg
ing a solemn duty, and that too, with
the eyes of a thousand or two of his con
stituents fastened on him. lie was not
the man to flinch under any circum
stances. much less such as these.
With becoming promptness, therefore
he laid violent bands upon tbe intruder
with tbe view of sul jecting him lo a
summary ejectment. But unfortunate
ly, the arm of the law, however violent
ly supported, is not always the strong
er. Mr. Sheriff was surprised that he
sbonid fall hr handling a drunken man;
but so it was.
The man was too much ’ for him, a-
gain and agalvks he renewed his attack,
be came trr a horizontal position, with
saw dust for his pillow. During this
time tbe condition of the large audience
caw be better imagined than described
We are told that sneh convulsion* of
laughter were never heard, before. The
noise and din could, be beard” nearly as
far as a powder. bouse explosion. . But
out friend, tbe sheriff as we before said,
was a discriminating man, and be re
solved to try. the last experiment.. ..
Finding his ragged customer roost too
good a wrestler beturned to the audi
ence, and bv virtue of his official func
tion, he at once commenced summoning
a posse to his aid. After lie had enlisted
a Unit a dozen able-bodied men, and ev
erything was ready for an attack the
■ ing-master stepped forward and ex
plained to him that his services would
■ot be required further; he had acted
nis part admirably, and at any future
time he would not hesitate to give him
a re-eugageinent: in short, that the sup
posed intruder was a bona-fide actor,
and that the druuk was only put on.
Our friend, the sheriff, was sold, lock,
stock and barrel, arid the suddenness
with which he disappeared fiom the
crowd was amusing. Tne balance of the
performance was stale—the cream had
been taken off and left only the skim
milk.
After the performance was over, the
sheriff sought out the ring master, and
offered him an apology for interrupting
his performance, protesting that he did
it with the best intentions and under a
total misapprehension of the state of the
case.
The ring master assured the sheriff
that there was no harm done, he had
noticed him (the sheriff) in the crowd,
and had directed the actor to get close
to him, rightly judging that he was the
otilv man green enough in the audience
to bite at sb stale a bait.
A Story of Female Heroism.
In the course of a recent speech in
Congress, by the Hon. Joseph Lane, of
Oregon, he related the following inci
dent, which occurred in the Indian war
of Oregon ;
While in Oregon last summer. I took
occasion to inquire of the Chief, who
was mainly instrumental in getting up
this war. to learn the particulars of the
fate of some of onr people who disap
peared in the war of 1855, and of whom
we have been able to learn nothing.
When I suggested to the Agent, in
the council, that I proposed to inquire
into the. fate of Mrs. Wagner, Mrs
Haynes, and others, he was inclined to
think it would raise the bitter feelings of
the Indians, hut said that we could
make the inquiry. I told him that T
had passed through the country where
these people had lived and that their
friends were very anxious to learn their
fate. We inquired in relation to Mrs.
Wagner, who was a well educated and
handsome woman from New York, who
had lived long in the country, and
spoke die Indian tongue fluently.
She kept a public house by the road
side,and the good cheer which she alwavs
furnished, made it a place travelers de
lighted to stop at. The Indians inform
ed us that on the morning of the 0th of
October, they came in sight of the house,
where they met some teamsters and
packets, a portion of whom they mur
dered, destroying their wagons and car
goes, as we!! as the animals, while she
was standing in the door.
As soon as they had murdered the
people outside, thev came towards the
house which was stronglv built of hewn
logs, and had a heavy door which fas
tened with crossbars. When she saw
them running towars the house she shut
the door and dropped the bars to pre
vent their coming in. 'I’hev came to the
door and ordered her to come out. and
bring ber little gill. Sbe said “no.”
Her husband was absent—and bv the
wav he was the onlv man on the road
who escaped. Thev said that if she did
not come out thev would shoot her.JShe
declined and after some deliberation.)
they determined to set the house on fire.!
The house was directlv enveloped in j
flames; and the Chief who watched her
through a- little window, told me that
he saw her go to the glass and arrange
her hair, then take a seat in the middle
of the room, fold her little girl in her
arms, and wait, calmlv until the roof fell j
in. and thev perished in the flames to- 1
gether. And the statement was con-1
firmed hv the people who found their j
remains lying together in the middle of,
the house.

The Wealth of onr Statesmen.
Jefferson died comparatively poor.—
Indeed, if Congress had not purchased
liis library, and given for it five limes its
value, he nould with difficulty have kept
the wolf from his door.
Madison saved money, and was com
paratively rich. To ffdtl to liis fortunes,
however, or rather to those of his wid
ow. Congress purchased his manuscript
papers, and paid thirty thousand dollars
f< r them.
James Monroe, the fifth President of
the United States, died so poor that his
remains found a resting place through
the charity of one of the citizens.
John Quincy Adams left some hun
dred and- fifty tboasand dollars, the re
sult of industry, prudence and inheri

economy.
Martin Van Buren is very rich.-—
Throughout his political life he has stu
diously looked out for his own interest.
It is not believed that he ever spent
thirty- shillings in •polities. His party
shook the hush, and he caught the bird:
Daniel Webster squandered seine mil
lions in his lifetime, the product of his
profession and his political speculations,
lie died, leaving his' property to his chil
dren and his debts to his friends. The
former sold for less thari twenty thous
and dollars—the latter exceeded- two
hundred and fifty thousand.
Henry Clay left a very handsome es
tate. It probably exceeded one hundred
thousand dollars. He was a prudent,
manager, and a scrupulously honest
man.
James K. Polk left about one hun
dred and 'fifty thousand dollars—fifty
thousand of whieli he saved from his
Presidency of four years.
Zachary Taylor left one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
Millard Fillmore is a wealthy man,
and keeps his money in a very strong

Ben. May, Esq., Treasurer for the State
Road, has transmitted to the Treasury
for the State at Millegevilje, $25,000,
being lhe nett earnings of that road (of
the month of June. This, added to the
amount of the two proceeding remittee-
cies, makes the pretty little sum of
$92,000 which have crept ino the State
Treasury from that quarter, since the
first of April last. Whatever complaint
may proceed from certain quartets, a-
gainst the management of the road, the
logic of these facts is hard to be refuted.
Those of us who regard such matters
from this distant point,- see the result
and not the process; but if the former
satisfies ns, we are apt to applaud the
latter. “The tree is known bv the fruit.”
