Likti gray hairs in a lady's bead, they are very apt to yield more vex ation than pleasure, when found. Irois ill occasionally creep in, in spite of the utmost vigilance. This was the caso iu our lust week's paper, when several of a rather ludicrous character made their ap pearance. We trust to the good sense (f our leaders, however, to supply thu title meaning to the sentences iu which they figured. now talk.

The Richmond Fnquirer, pro-slavery paper, contains the following language in relation to the New England States, nn I their inhabitants. Whether our southern neighbors really believe it, or whether they only tnlk for "bunkum" is a problem. We presume they intend remain ing in the Union out of pure compassion for "Jonathan;" "The census, too, shows that New England makes not enough grninio feed her pigs and chickens, much less her men; and tnat, separated from us, she inusl starve in a month. She is too cunning and sagacious to try the experiment of separation, unless driven to it ly the goading insults of Southern party. She is, however, brave, fanatical, nnd enthusiastic; and, nlthough up to a certain point we may safely draw upon her love of greed and selfishness, we must recollect that out Puritan brother now, ns iu the days ol Cromwell, sometimes takes the runs mad, nnd becomes ns intractable ns an uncaged beast of prey.

We must not then push the argument of dollars nnd cents too far, nor rely on it altogether. In an extreme ewe, Yankee ingenuity wou'd substitute some invention for bread, or learn to live without it, Let us not force such extremes upon him." The same paper pays the following tribute to the aid and comfort which certain eminent Northern divines are so prompt in extending 10 the "peculiar institution:" "I'rofessor Stuart, Professor Lord, of Dartmouth, and the Rev. Nehemiah Adams of lloston, have stepped lorth ns champions of the Puble and the South. The infidel clamor of the Abolitionist will soon open the eyes and arouse the energies of many such soldiers of the tailh. The cause of the South, they begin to find, is identified, in history and in fact, with the cause of law, morality, and religion." t-fif We have on hand a letter from our New York correspondent, which come- to hand too late for this week's paper.

A strange and most remaikable performance took place in the vicinity of Rochester, N. few days since. Jt uppcurs thut a man em ployed in a livery stable, of thnt city, took a pair of horses to the river to wash. The recent ruins had swollen the Genessee to a flood, und the water rushes through the city, along its channel, with the speed ol a race horse. There is a place open few rods from the railroad bridge- to which the hostlers resort for washing horses.

Il was there that ihe man went with a pair of horses, riding one and leading the other. He rode into the water as far us it was prudent, when the horse he was leading got beyond bis depth, and drew ihe man off the other horse all drifting rapidly towards the dam just above the Great Falls, but on Hearing the dam, he sprung to the wall and saved hiinsell from death. The horses plunged over dam, nnd were swiftly borne over the great precipice into the vortex below the perpendicular descent is ninety-six feet But strange to say, a short time after the accident occurred, one of the horses was discovered feeding on the flats below the falls. He was immediately brought up to the stable, but not a scratch could be found on him the other horse was lost. The horses were owned by G.

It began about two o'clock in the afternoon ol said day, the wind previously being west or souih-west, and the early pan of the day hot and sultry.

The wind blew with fearful violence, after the first outbreak, uprooting and twisting oJf many large Uees jmiticularly where il had free access.
