They had two lour wheel wagons in company, which left St. Louis last spring, went to the moun tains, and have returned.

A Damper. —A Young manjust from the country, lately volunteered his set vices to gallant a young lady home from a p«rty. On the way he cudgelled bis brains for some interesting topic of conversation to amuse her with' but in vain; he could hil on nothing until they mot several cows, wneii the swain said, with much simplicity of manner. Now isn't it strange what a motherly appea r ance a cow has?'* To which the "lady re plied, ‘ 1 do not think it at all strange Sir, that a cow should have a motherly appear ance to a calf." The beau was silent dur ing the rest of the walk.— 5. E Post There are few points in natural philos ophy more remarkable than the infinite di versity in the human figure and counte nance. There are at tnis time, 800,000, 000 of human beings in existence and no two alike, and yet allsubstantrilly tbe s mte. An extended view of this astonishing vari ety, is obtained from the consider tiou, that since the cieation of the world there have passed away more thatt a million times the number now in being, and that no tvn 'of thei„, or of any now in life, were alike. And we have reason to believe that ol tbe endless myriads of those winch have pre ceeded us, or those who now exist, and who will follow us, each aud eveiy one had a distinguishing mark, either in voice, fi a ture, figure, or a certain something not be guageo or measmed, and perhaps scatcely to be described. TpvrEßAscK.—The Temperance Society of the City of New-York \.as formed in the year lHat); since which time the association has pub lished A; circulated sixty thousand tracts, address ed to physicians dealers in ardent spirits and to the public, on the subject to which tnoy aro devo ted. The use of ardent spirits, it is said has been grentlv reduced, at public tables, in hotels, board ing houses, and steam boats. In 1827, above two millions of gallons of and. stilled spirits were imported into the state ot New-York, in 1828 nearly three millions, and in 1822 only 1,995,868 gallons. The report says, the diminu j tion in the quantity of foreign liquor, passing thro’ i the New-York Market, for domestic consumption I has been 1,472,718 gallons, being a falling off, of more than 53 per cent—of domestic spirits it has been about two millons of gallons.’ Truk Scblimitv.—w\n egotistical boaster in , conversation with a talented Attornev "f Viigin- j ia. a few years ago. relativo to Gen.

REMARKS.—In consequence of the low state our rever, business if all kinds is dull, and the supply of many staple mucins is insufficient to meet the demand \ copious rain, which would be sufficient to give a little use to our river, aud permit the ascent of some oi the richly fieighted boats, which are now delayed on their way, would give a most cheering impulse to trace and reduce, the prices of the leading articles nearly or quite, fifty per cent. Consequently our list of prices for this week, must be considered as belonging to the dry weather establishment, which a plentiful rain would wash down CO T PON—The stock on hand amounts to about twelve hundred bags. The sales of the week have been limited and mostly at 9 3-4; some purchases have been made at 9 1-2; although no sales have been effected during the week as high ss ten, yet that may be considered the limits for fine in square bales J.
