' Uh, yes, l rememDer?1 , took it?but I put it in the drawer again, where I got it' 4 Are you sare ?' 4 Yes sir.' 'I think you are mistaken?for if you had put it there, it would have been there still.' 4 I'm certainly sure I put it back there.' 4 Well now, my Bon, I found it out on the grass,' where you had been at work.? Didn't you leave it there V 4 Oh?yes?I believe 1 did. Yes I reraembe^?I did leave it there.' Well now take a lesson from this: don't be so positive, when you arc not sure. In two insfances you have been mistaken ; you first said that you had not taken tho hammer out, and you were quite sure; you then said you had put it where you had got it, and you were again quite positive.

The Northampton Courier ?iys, that ! Capt. Win. Smith, who for the last ten j ^yeo-8 has been an inmate of the North- j W- atnpton almshouse, has just claims against ihe government, for French spoliations, prior to 1800, to the amount of 840,000. In 1798 and '99, he commanded, at different times, three vessels, in the cargoes of which he was interested to the amount of 810,000. prime cost; ail of which ves- j eels were captured by French privateers, their cargoes, confiscated.? The French government made compensa- j tion for these damages, more than forty years ago, and the money was used in the purchase of Louisiana. Captain Smith has sent a petition to Washington for relief, which is dated at the Northampton poor ho use. STRONG SYMPATHY r>" A TtOft. j&y- w # i An interesting instance of this feeling in the canine species, is related in an English print, the authenticity of which it j aays mnv be relied on. At a large sheep farm in Perthshire, the overseer became ; P severely indisposed, and for the first ten days after their master had taken to his bed, his faithful collies refused to be com- : forted, mournfully declining all sorts of food, nay, even milk warm from the cow, 4 at last pressed upon them by the domes, i ? tic. At length their cn?e became so se- i rious?for they were otherwise valuable * ? d >gs?that the overseer's mother was prevailed upon to inform her sick son, though * - at the time very low, of the circumstance, begging of him, as a dernier resort, to -fry what effect his own word would still i have upon the mute mourners. By an effort he succeeded, in a weak voice, to name his favorites, pointing, at the same \ lime, to some food placed at hand for the trial. This gentle command had its effect; the dogs at once obeyed, and have since, as if it were still repeated to them, which is not likely ever to be again, continued j^lKilfke as much as supports life, but once every day, at least, and oftcner, if opportonityoffer, they glide together into the room where the sick man is, slip stealthily v to ine Deosuie, raise tneir lore paws upon ! the bed-clothes, and in this attitude con- ! ti#ue together for some time to gaze intently on the pallid features of their now unconscious master, and then dronpingly retire out of the room. 80TAUV KNITTING LOOMS. c i An ingenious master mechanic, of this City, has invented n rotary knitting loom, )yj[iich possesses the po ver of knitting, car rowing, widening to any desirable pat. tit*, and with most astonishing rapidity,, all kinds of knit goods. I: is truly a wonderful raadhine, and will soon be put in operation. The capitalist will find in this f machine a rare chance for profitable intesimtut.?Bvslvri Mail. s. L* Z. ^ private enterprise. It is stated, in a communication from General A. A. Brisbane, of Georgia, that j j he has constructed a railroad in that >. State, 7C miles in length, with 150 labo- . j rers, and only a cash capital of 15,000? the laborers being the owners cf the road, 'i he cash was applied to the support of the workmen. Thirty of these stockholders were poor Irishmen, who had been thrown oLt of work, and whom Gen. Brisbane ioJtected in Charleston, S. C. This road^ was commenced in 1839. Franklin's Loan.?The following let. tor was written by Dr. Franklin while at Paris, and was communicated by the person who received it to the person by whom it was originally published:? April 22, 1784. I send you herewith a bill for ten Louis, d'or; I do not pretend to give such a sum, 1 only lend it to you. When you shall I return to your country you cannot fail of g itting into some business that will in time I enable you to pay all your debts. In that case when you meet with another honest i man in similar distress, you must pay me ' by lending this sum to him, enjoining him j to discharge the debt by a like operation j when he shall be able, and shall meet with such another opportunity. I hojie it may thus go through many hands before it meets with a knave to stop its progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money. I am not rich : enough to afford much in good work, and so am obliged to be earning and make the mast of a little.

Since its establishment it ( has expended, for lot6, buildings, and repairs, j about $*5000; besides large sums of money in ^ making up to teachers from lime to time de- | , ficiencies in their salaries, arising from inade- | v quate receipts for tuition. Though the r Society has heretofore received considerable j aid from citizens and others not members ; yet the principal burden and the whole responsi. : bility (previous to last year) has always rested on those who were. The Society now -i consists of few in number ; and at a meeting convened this day, it was resolved to sell the j Academical Lots and Buildings for the pur- r i\aia /.f r\ At.irt/* kn n U/M'rt /J.ikt nnloro nrtiviA C puoc vi lilt; urui , uuicra ouiiiu I measures are promptly adopted by the com- a munity to discharge the same. Most, perhaps <1 all, the members of the Society are understood t to be willing to co-operate with their fellow r citizens in this matter; but they are not dis?

The 16th day of next monih is fixed for ' determing upon the sale ; unless, before that j c date, the people (with 6uch arguments as sat- | ? isfy creditors) put their veto upon it.
