Washington We extract the following account of the entombment ot Whashinglon Irom the Ulster County (N. Y.) (la /.et c. dated January 4th, 1809, tor a copy of which we a tv indebted to Mr. N. II. Ashby, ot tins place. The ae count is dated ‘Georgetown, Decent ber 20 th,” and is as follows: —Acun thus. On Wednesday last, the mortal part of Washington the Great—the Father ot his Country and tue Irietid ot men, was consigned to the tomb, with solemn honors and funeral pomp. A multituded of persons assembled, from many miles around, at Mouut Vernon, the choice abode and the last t t sidence ot the illustrious chief, In the long atm lolly portico, where olt the hero walked in all his glory, now lay the shrouded corpse.

There tlu.se who paid the his! sad honors to the •betietactor of his country, took an impressive—a tarewe’.l view. On the ornament at the head of the coffin, was inscribed surge aiuuioium —about the middle ol the coffin, gloria deo— and on the silver plate, GENERAL GEORGE W ALDINGTON; Depaited this life, on the 14th De¬ cember, 1 '• 91), /El. 68 .

The Bank of England was incor¬ porated in 1649. It covers five clerks. acres of ground, and employs 900 There are no windows on the street. Light is admitted through often courts no mob could take the bank, there¬ fore, without cannon to batter the immense wall. The clock in the centre of the bank lias fifty dials attached to it. Large cisterns are sunk in the court and engines in perfect order are always in readiness in ease of fire. There are some very straightfor ward people in Galveston. One of them went up into the News office, and sauntering up to the desk asked, ‘T hear that the Bible lias been re vised.

Of all tiie incredible stories that have come to us lately, the incredible. following, is. without doubt, the meet The |* >or duck had certainly the worst ot it at the beginning but the battle .v: s drawn towards tire end: niilidam “As a below gen’.leinan Whinchester, was fishing Va., in the he accidentally threw bis line across a strong white duck, which suddenly turned round, twisted the line around her own neck and fixed the hook of the dropped fly i»> her breast Tints entangled and hooked, she broke off ^ ine a hove tltc droppet and sailed d°' vn the stream, with Uieeud ot the trailing behind her. ohe bad not proceeded lar belorc a trout <>t a pound ’*J<da halt took the fly effectually, taord 1 hen began a struggle as ext maty iW ^'er witnessed a duck at a droppet a,u ^ 'font excited itself the tenor d ,u duck \j as conspicuous. It fluttered ,,jS wings and draggeded the l \* U 7 hen the trout was more quiet *ke duck , evidently gave and suA< ted herself to be drawn under some bushes where the shortness ot the line did not allow the duck’s head was trequeully drawn under tire water. By chance, however, the line got across a branch wh cli nung down into the water, and the duck taking advantage of the pur¬ chase it gave her, diagged her op¬ ponent from Ins hole and obliged turn to show his head above the water. Then it became a content of lit** and death. The trout was in Us last agonies, and the duck in a very weak state, when the line broke and suffered each to depart its own way.’’ m Float l a (j. Men are drowned by raising their arms above water the unbuoyed weight of which depresses the head. Other animals have neither motion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally. When a man falls into deep tvater he will rise to the surface, and will continue there if he does not elevate his hands. If he moves hands under water, in any way he pleases, his head will rise so high as to give him free liberty to breathe; and if he will use his legs, as in the act of walking (or rather walk¬ ing above upstairs,) the his shoulders be will rise water, so that may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other purposes. These plain directions are recommended to the recollection of those who have not learned to swim in their youth, as they may be found highly advanta gemis iu many cases, An Equivocal Tiietary Arswer. A certain gentium nt, wish¬ ing to be undisturbed one lay, instruc¬ ted It s Irish servant to admit no one and. il anyone should inquire for him to give him an “equivocal answer.” Night came, and the gentleman pro¬ ceeded callers. to interogate Pat as to his “Did any one call ? , “Yis, sur, wan gentleman.” “What did he say!” “He axed was yer honor in.’’ “Well, what did you tell him ” “Sure, 1 gave him a quivikle answer jist/ “llovv that!” was “I axed him was his grandmother a monkey ! ’ Kiml Word* Never Die. An elderly stranger bought a copy of the News from a newsboy and banded him a quarter, but upon the boy’s hunting for change the old gentleman said; “Never mind the ch P sonny; just keep it for yourself. 3 This was probably the first kind word that had ever been spoken to t te homeless, friendless orphan boy since his mother died, and it comple¬ tely overcome him. Brushing hastily away a tear, he seized his benefactor’s hand and exclaimed in a husky voice, “Bully for you old Stick-in-the-mudl I wonder how much reward there is offered for you by the savings bank i you used to be president of?”—Sal veston News.
