A Serenade. the Students of the University on Monday night last, paid Mr. Woodfin, the Tutor of Modern Lan guages, lately appointed by the Trustees, quite a delicate compliment in the form of a Serenade, by a ‘ of Amateur Musicians. Being loudly called ior, he made his appearance, and addressed them m a very happy strain, which was received with heart}’ applause. Mr. Woodfin is a gentleman of intelligence and refinement, and we consider him decidedly an acquisition to the University. We are not at all surprised at his expecting to find our cli mate infested with all manner of noxious malaria. Any stranger might form this opinion from the number of “Doctor Factories” we have elected in every portion of our State. Four Medical Colleges, and a dozen M.

Register is down on his de linquent subscribers in the following ferociously sav age style. We are, of course, not profane enough to endorse it, but feel somewhat like the Quaker, whose religion prevented him from cursing the bad road, but did not hinder him from encouraging another person in doing so: “Send us our dues—or may you he shod with lightning and compelled to wander through deserts of gunpowder, your eyes he sore, and a chestnut bur for an eye stone. May you have a hornet’s nest in each boot, vipers in your ears, scorpions in your bosom, and rode on a sharp rail by bog-trotters in the night, with a two bushel bag of sand tied to each leg. May a troop of printer’s-devils, lean, lank and hungry, dog you by day, and may the famish ed, stricken whost of the editor’s body haunt you by night; and may your sorrows double daily, and your days lengthen in the same ratio as your sor rows are multiplied; and finally, when your cup of sorrows is full, may you bo nibbled to death by young ducks, and kicked to your grave by grass hoppers.” If these maledictions don’t bring no-paying pat rons to a sense of justice, what will?

To Periodical Publishers. The editor of the Washington (D. 0.) Spectator designs to publish, about August next, a list of all the periodicals, from monthlies to dailies, jn the United States—embracing California and the Terri toiies with terms and general character, so far as he can ascertain them. To aid in making up his list, and in carrying out his farther plan, he invites all publishers to send hhn three aopies of their publications, first issued after the fourth of July, (or such as shall contain fullest accounts of the occurrences of that day.) J hese he proposes to bind—one set to be filed in the Congressional Library—one in the Library of the Smithsonian Institution—the other for his own sanctum. He also requests this notice may be inserted once or more times, in the editorial columns of his qo temporaries. Those publishers who give it a place and send him a copy of their papers containing it, will be furbished with a copy of the list when pub lished. Washington, D. C., May 3, 1856.

About a year and a half ago a widow lady by the name of Smith, residing on SufFolk-street, in this city, drank some water from a spring at the sea shore, and, as she supposed, swallowed a small eel. Since then she has been gradually getting out of health, and at length her illness became so severe and alarming that her life was thought to be in great danger. No medicine or physician could give her relief till last week, Dr. Huntoon being called in, gave her a potion that on Saturday morniug re lieved her of a live eel a foot in length. The eel has been preserved in spirits, and is decidedly an ugly looking customer. The lady is greatly reliev ed, but thinks there is another of the “varmints” left behind. —Lotcell News. Savage Prize Fight in Massachusetts, the Boston Herald, of the 2d inst., gives the fol lowing picture of the boasted civilization of Yankee land: Anangements having been in contemplation for some time past among the sporting fraternity for a match between two noted pugilists—Ned Price, of ondon, ami a man named Colbert, hailing fi’Om io. to see who was the “best man” —a match was perfected,, and the stakes (300) being paiu in, the parties met yesterday afternoon at a convenient spot situated near the town of Medford. - ring was formed, and those knowing to the af aU ma< ° l( ‘ 1 appearance on the ground (after paying for the privilege to the tunc of $5.)

It is said there is reason to believe that one of the greatest speculations that has taken place for years, is now going on in cotton. The parties are said to be residents in New York, England and the South ern States, aided by the banks of New York and the South. The object is to get possession of so much of the crop as to control the market, and run the prices very high. It is said it will require an in vestment of $26,000,000 for five or six months, to effect the object of the speculators.— Times. Execution of James McCombs. We find the following paragraph in an exchange paper.: Columbia, April 25, 1856.—James McCombs, the convict, who was sentenced to death at the late term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, for the murder of Thomas W. Cross, expiated his offence on the scafiold at ten minutes after one o’clock this afternoon. He mounted the platform with a firm step, exhibiting no symptoms of fear, and express ed his willingness to die. The rope broke and the prisoner fell, and on reviving, showed signs of great agony. On being again suspended, his hands got loose, and he grasped at the rope round his neck, so that it was with great difficulty that the execution was accomplished. The scene throughout was hor rible. Many spectators, including females,were present. Ififa 3SSS4 IP*” M.

Ethan Spike, Esq., of Hornby, Maine, writes the following letter to the Portland Transcript and Elec tic, descriptive of matter and things in that part of the country. Our readers will enjoy his^, musing report of the lecture on astronomy : Mister Editor: Perhaps in a letterary pint of view aour town haint been so forrerd as she orter. While Polly-tioksand the millingtary interest has been car ried furder perhaps than in any other place on the airtb, yet exceptin my own case, litteratoov has’nt gone beyond coarse handwriting an the single rule of three.

I haint time to gin you more’n a digestive or fac simolar of the lecter — Jemes begun by obsarvin that es any body sup posed that the stars warn’t a heap bigger than they looked, they was almighty behind hand. Why, says he, there’s that ar leetle shiner called Satan, says he, don’t look bigger than a tetter, and yet, ac cording to Kerklys—who knows the heavenly bod ies jist as easy as I know father tissumwhat larger than the hull county of Oxford!

This morning, however, he was as well as could be expected, and es convalescence don’t set in he’ll be about in a day or two. Ethan Spikes. JrSP'A member of the North Carolina Legislature made a decidedly good ‘ hit” a short time ago. A bill was pending which imposed a tine for selling li quor to free negroes, to which he objected on the ground that ‘‘such a law would make them more de cent than the whites.” Schoolmaster, after giving one of his schol ars a sound drubbing for speakingbad grammar, sent him to the other enu of the room to inform an other boy that be wished to speak to him, and, at the same time, promising to repeat the dose if he spoke to him ungrammatically. The youngster, quite satisfied with what he had got, determined to be exact, and thus addressed his fellow pupil: “There is a common substantive, of the masculine gender, singular number, nominative ease, and in an angry mood, that sits perched upon the eminence at the other side of the room, wishes to articulate a few sentences to you in the present tense.” f-gpThe New York News mentions that a mali cious bridesmaid played a very handsome joke off upon a newly wedded couple. She put them upon a clock-bedstead and wound it up for “four.” The alarm of the young couple maybe imagined, but not described, when in the midst of the lady’s first sleep she was awakened by the horrible din of the alarm mingling with her husband’s “what’s that.:'” and be fore she was thoroughly awake she was violently tossed on the floor. Jumping up, she ian to her friend’s room, crying, “I’ll have a divorce—it’s in famous —I’ll never speak to him again—he’s a mon ster.” Good gracious!” cried her friend Libby, in affected astonishment; “w r hat the matter, dear, do tell!” “He —he—he,” sobbed the weeping bride, and stopped. “He what?” asked her friend, “kissed you?” “No, no!” vehemently exclaimed the other; “he has thrust me out of bed!” Thd matter was, however, explained, and there has been no divorce. At a sale of furniture that took place in a country town, among the lookers on were a few Irish laborers; and upon a trunk being put up for sale, one of them said to his neighbor: ‘Pat I think you should buy that trunk.” ‘An’ what should I do with it ?’ replied Pat, with some degree of astonishment. ‘Put your clothes in it,’ was his adviser’s reply. Pat gazed upon him with a look of surprise, and then with that laconic eloquence which is peculiar to a son of the Emerald Isle, exclaimed — l An go na ked P Gentlemen of the Jury : There are four points in this case. In the first place, we contend that we never had the plaintiff’s horse; second, that we paid him for the use of the horse; third, he a greed to let us use the horse for his keeping with out any charge; and fourth, that his horse is a jack ass. gggT 3 Blessings which we have slighted when in our possession, are more highly prized when there is danger of bur being deprived of them ; and our hearts are more keenly touched by the anticipation of loss than by the fullness of enjoyment. subscriber writes to a western editor, “I don’t want your paper any longer,”—to which the editor replies—“l wouldn’t make it any longer if you did; its present length suits me very well. JglP The following epitaph upon an infant, speaks to the heart: Beneath this stone, in sweet repose, Is laid a mother’s dearest pride; A flower that scarce had waked to life, And light, and beauty, ere it died. God, in his wisdom, has recalled, The precious boon his love had given ; And though the casket moulders here, The gem is sparkling now in heaven. Payments for the Crusader.
