A. 8., of the town aforesaid. The note was marked ky a style of singular good heart and propriety; and the recipient, whoever he may be, cannot fail, if he have the heart and chivalry of a man, to cherish it during all time. Upon consultation, the Department did not impose the fine for the reason that so much youth, beauty and propricty as her note evin- ces, and as her ambrotype exquisitely confirms, could never intend a violation of the statute. It was forwarded to the Illinois post office with simple orders to collect the difference of post- age. In passing through the circumlocutions of the Department, the ambrotype of ‘Julia’’ received the emphatic lip-joining of all the un- married clerks. | THe AaricutturaL CoLtace.—We learn that Mr. Joseph L.
