It occurs in a story which is now ing published in that paper, entitled ‘Buried Alive.” n 1838 I came to Rochester, and was there when that sublime farce was enacted on Mount Hope. A wag at Mount Morris found a quan- tity of hear bones, which he palmed off as the bones of Col. James Boyd and company, of Revolutionary celebrity. The military took it up, and completed the humbug. A pom- pous funeral was planned, and Gov. Seward invited to deliver the funeral address. The cheat was discovered by some of the Rochester faculty a day or two before its con- Summation, but such was their fear of the mobocrats, that they kept the secrect to them- selves Never es fox Bruin such a pom- pous funeral. It is supposed that seven thou- sand persons followed in the procession. Gov. Seward was particularly joguent on this farcicial occasion. ‘‘ Fellow citizens,”’ said he in bis exordium, ‘there was a history. Not of battle, blood, and Indian massacre, but of devastated corn fields. murdered porkers, and unfiliel cubs; a theme as fruitfal and diver- sified, if not as spirit-stirriag and interesting.” _ Ina few days the secret leaked out—the joke was too good to keep, editors wrangled, doctors quarreled, the mailitany, swore, but they had no redress, they had been most unmerei- fully sold, and to this day you can not touch an inhabitant of Rochester in a more tender place than to ask bim if he made one of the bear procession to Mount Hope, or if he was particularly edified with Gov Seward’s ora- tion over Bruin’s sacred remains. << — ee Pappy’s Experiment ror Rewmpyixe a Five.—An Irish weaver, just imported from the Emerald Isle, took to his employer in Kimarnock, Scotland, lately the first cloth he had woven since his arrival. Upon examination his employer detected two holes in the piece, within half an inch of each other, and told him he must pay afineof a shilling for each hole. “An plaze yer honor, aise it the number uy holes, opbe the size uv of them, that he pat the fine on us?’’ said Paddy. “* By the number of holes, to be sure.” “‘And a big hole end a@ small hole is the same price ?”” “ Yes ashilling for every hole, big or little.” “Then give me @ hould uy that piece,” re- plied Paddy. It was handed tohim, when with his fingers he deliberately tore the two small holes into one, triumphantly exclaiming: Be the piper 0’ Moses, an’ that’ll save me a shilling any how.” hed hearti- ‘orgave poor The good natured employer | ly at the odd experiment and Paddy his fine. = a, i Hector wee fa- ® the largest nose in the Cape Fear region.
