Would he like to behold our '-Patent Back-movement Self Acting Hen-Persuader I" If yen, a drawing shall be forwarded to him. The original is now "orf view" at "Kickerbock er Hall," Pierment, Rockland County, for which region Contain Folger is every day selling patents: Philadelphia, 4th Month, 1st, 1757. "Friend Clark Knowing the lively in terest thee takes in natters appertaining to poultry, and that it has even awakened thy attention so far as to originate a 'Pat ent Hen-Persuadr,' inducing the good Dme Partlets to renewed exertions in their peculiar sphere of usefulness, 1 have thought it incuuibent on me to inform thee of a certain affair, egg-selling, and very ex cellent in humor, which took place not long since in this good city. Thee knows, doubtlcssi, how much wc rejoice in the ex tent of our market, giving to its almost es- prcwii use tne nnest street in ottr city ; ap propriating its body tor the length of t mule and one of its legs for a much farther die tance, to agriculture, and leaving commerc to struggle through old carls, wagons, and cumbrous market-houses as best ii may, so l need not dwell on this point. "Now, in the spirit of kindness and char itableness, we have, by so naming it, given up to tne oppressed natives of a neighbor mg country, a Jetsey market, and in this, 'in season,' all delicacies of the table are to be found. I could make thy mouth water by enumerating & few, but believing that thee may not care for my reducing thee to sucn a stale l iorego, "There Fits, owing to our chair-i-table- ness, and her ability to pay rent in the a- foreeaid market, a comely female huckster, dealing in poultry, game, and fine vegeta blcs, who is especially noted for bringing the freshest, whitest eggs, always comman aing me oesi and nig n est price. It so nap pened mat mend lirown, who is in busin ness in Market-street, took sick some time tince with tne lien rever. and went through all the stages, or coors, of Shang hais, Chittagongs, Burnnmpooter. Pol an ders, Dorkings coming to a crisis with the purchase of an Eccaleobion does tbee think I spell this word rijht ?) or Egg- iiatcning Machine, and which, after pur chase, was duly sat up in the cellar of his store, and preparej to go into operation as soon as friend Brown saw fir. which was immediately. Of all friend Brown's friends, none was so earnest a friend as friend Smith, especially in the matter of this Egg' Hatching Machine: he would run in sev eral times per diem, to note progress, and finally, when completed, naturally recom mended mend lirown to go at once to the comely female huckster in Jersey market, ana procure a plentiful supply of those iresa wnite - eggs, xriena . tSrown went, secured ail tne huckster bad, and obtained tne refusal of a few dozen more. Friend Smith was, (p use an expression of my daughterSally, who associates with world's people, 'perfectly charmed' on hearing this: ce assisted inend Brown in placing the eggi carefully in the machine ; he watch ed the thermometer assiduously ; day after day paying repeated visits. One morning, on coming up from the cellar, there was a c'oud on his brow- friend Brown nttsd it. M4Why, Jacob I" said brown to him; 'what is the matter with thee I Thee looks discontended. ; , , ..' . . " Ah I James,' answered friend Smith, i Degin to nave doubts.' "What does thee doubt?' "inquired friend Brown. . M,The ability of thy Egg-Hatcher ! Five days have 1 watched the eggs, and I do not note any symptoms of the chickens coming mto the world.' . 'Thee is impatient, Jacob ; thee surely knows that eggs won't hatch in five days.' "'Yes, yes 1' answered friend Smith But there should be symptoms. I tell tbee candidly, I have no faith in thy Eg-Hatch-er. Then speaking out earnestly: I don't believe one of the eggs will hatch, not one! lam sure of it, so sure .that I see thee "-cu" new nat well. I ar ill m i. new hat if one of those h.th dition thee gies me one if they do not Does thee comprehend tl - "I do, Jacob,' said friend Browft, "and I foresee that thee will hajre to give me a new nat, 1 foresee it "Friend Smith agreed to wait until a cer- fime, so as to give the eggs a fair chance, and went his way rejoicing; feeling so ele vated at the thought of obtaining a new hat, that he already had determined to give his old one to the porter in his store, "Why was he so cert in.?. "A few weeks before friend Brown came to a crisis with the Egg-Hatching Machine, mend smith had learned from the comely huckster iti the market that in order to in sure her hens laying regularly, she penned up the hens by themxlve$ and friend Smub knew enough about hens to know that though they would lay eggs under these circumstances, yet that these eggs, needing the vital principal, never would hatehf tmd J using iuiiu ut tun, aa wen ns greeu oi hut tng a ntw hat,, he had laid a long trauj solely to attain this end ; had appeared in terested in the Egg HtcherT tended it, re commended friend Brown, to,puy ;these J particular eggs, aguawO w as, was-wai ing for the hat, But the excellence of the joke seemed so great in his eyes, that he could not forbear tellinjr friend Simras all the particulars, by a great oversight neglecting to enjoin secresy on friend Simms, who was so much rejoiced by this latter, that he went at once to friend Brown of the Egg Hatcher, and told him the whole story. Friend Brown laughed Very hard, but to ward evening might hate been seen buying eggs of a countryman who wasn't acquain ted with the -seclusive system.' These eggs friend Brown substituted for the ones purchased from the female huckster, and said nothing. "Friend Smith waited for the appointed time, and then claimed the hat: friend Brown begged for three days' grace, which was granted very cheerfully. At the ex piration of the three days he called again. Fiiend Brown invited him to come down in theeellar . down he went, hearing nil the way certain 'pseep, pseep-ings' that be didn't like at all, and at last saw four hew hatched chickens. "Friend Brown,' said he,.'thee can take the hat I' apd at once handed over a five dollar bil walked up-stairs. and as he pas ed the female huckster in the market, on his way to his store,' muttered r 'Thee it a humbug vith thy hen nunnery P Thine, Eben Neezer." Knickerbocker Magazine for May.' THE SAD STORY OP AN ERRING YOUNG - - MAN. We have already mentioned in the journal the suicide of a young man named Poindexter, formerly of Lexing ton. From Capt. Sullivan, of the states man, off which steamer the unfortunate victim of intemperance leaped to find a grave for all his errors beneath the pla- ciu unio, we learn tnat foindexter call ed him aside on the guards of the boat, placed a ring dnd hole in rns4)and; went aft, and immediately disappeared over board. The following is the note: "Farewell, father and mother brbth- er and sister ! lam tired of rfly life. tiemamiu f ranklin Weigeft: the pern tentiary thief from Lexington, (Ky.J is the cause of this.

The Washington Star of Friday last says: An order has beeri lately issued by the President for an addition to the marine force at various stations of 240 privates and officers. Rendezvous have been opened by the order of the Secretary of the Navy at New York, Philadelphia and at Alexan dria, Va.,' besides at the regular murine sta tions, for the purpose of receiving enlist ments, These recruits are nearly all raw, and are tj be instructed in the drill at the Washington head-quarters, under the su penntendence of the drill Major. Each of the new steamers built under the late order of the Government are to get 3 sergeants, 4 corporals, 2 musicians, and 50 privates, in addition to the usual force. This increas es the entire netive marine force to 1,700 men. The United States vessels now awaiting orders in the ports are the Miss issippi, now atNew York, the German, town sloop-of-war, now laying at Norfolk,' the Cumberland frigate at Boston, and the sloop-of-war Ply mouth, a& the Washington iiavy xaru. ine fulton, frigate is being painted, and having her standing rigging set up. She is nearly ready for orders." THE CUBAN SLAVE TRADE. ' A Havana correspondent of tbe New Orleans Picayune mentions, under date of may i in, mat another slave ship had land ed on the Cuban coast, near Km l Grande, a cargo of slaves frorn Africa, numbering 750. The vessel was named the Duchess of Sutherland, most -likely in mockery of Mrs. Stowe's friend. A FUNNY EXPLOSION. A baggage man at the Central Tnnt yesterday, while handling a trunk in the usual slam-bang manner of that useful class of citizens, threw it down with such force as to explode a pistol within. The Diatol exploded a canister of powder, the powder, exploded the trunk, and the trunk exploded' the baggage-man, tumbling- him neck over heels : and - served him right at that. If such an accident could happen semi-occa-sionally, it would be a glorious thing. " It rqight kill a few baggage-smashers, but community could endure 'that loss in con. ideration of the gentler handling which their luggage would receive. " , v ( : "av.f' 'ffao Commercial. " ; INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE FROM SALT LAKE CITY: - Brighton. Young In CUte Quarters. We take the following from an extra of the Calaveras (California) Chronicle, published at Mokelumne Hill, dated Monday,-April 20th : " ' - Yesterday (Sunday) morning, 16th inst, Mr. Thompson, the daring and in trepid Carson valley Expressman, ar rived at Mokelumne HilL via Murphy's aud Big Tree Road, from Carsou Val ley. - ' r An expedition is organizing in the Valley for-a prospecting tour to "Walk er's River; it wilt start about the 10th of May. W alker's River? is 150 miles south of Carson, risiug iu the Sierra Ne- vadas, opposite , Mariposa, and flowing eastward, it sinks iu the sands of the Great BaSiu. From private letters received from Sa Lake Mr. Thompson learned that the schism in tne Mormon Church has assumed a formidable character. The Gladenites; or'Apcfstale from the Simon Pure faithj as enunciated by Bngham and his adherents, have of latewonder- fully increased their numbers, and grown so rebclious that the Prophet is forced to environ himself with a trusty guard of the faithful. The letters state that his house is guarded night and day, by his friends, and that, so bitter are his enemies against him, that he is afraid to show himself in public. He has deserted the Tabernacle. The Mormons of Carson Valley, on account of difficulties apprehended with tneir ucnue neignnors. nau been pe remptorily ordered to wait Lake, by the Prophet but thinking it easier to nego tiate a peace,- than to sacrifice thei: homes, they have shaken hands with the Ameukes, and buried the toma hawk. .
