This is all the information we have been able to obtain on the subject. If a true and correct statement of the value of the goods was exhibited to the collector at Burlington, then the seizure made here is void and the goods ought, and will undoubtedly, be restored to the owners---but if any fraud has been practised on that gen- tleman as to the real value of the goods the law will as unquestionably be ri- gidly enforced against those who have subjected themselves to its penalties. Our information being thus limited on this important subject, we do not think it advisable to hazard a hasty conjecture, preferring to wait until all the facts are given to the public from an official source. Tlie goods, we are informed have been sent to New-York' by the officer who seized them in or- der to examine them and ascertain their value. Troy paper. i,^ extractediromtheVir- tlie paper maker.

How many connected vvidh a printing office, from thc ab- scence of cash to purchase good clothes that they might go regularly to church and keep good company have forsa- ken the house of worship, been shut out from respectable societ*, have as- sociated with the most disreputable, become perhaps hard drinkers, turned vagabonds, and been led to the com- mission of various crimes ; all which evils would have been prevented by punctuality in paying bills. The soul sickens at the thought of so many evils brought upon society, which might have been so easily prevented.

Thc death of Miss R. affords an interesting caution to the ladies : She had been in the practice of wearing corsets, braced with steel, which attracted the lightning and was scattered in all di- rections, mangling the body in a most shocking manner. **.# A few remarks here may not be improper ; corsets or stays, when us- ed to compress the body, are at best but absurd and ridiculous, if not scan- dalous ; their deleterious effects are easily to be seen in all who use them. Every person the least acquainted with the human frame will readily confess, that ruinous consequences to health must follow from wearing these squeezing shape formers, even when composed with whalebone ; but when steel is called in to aid in the destruc- of health and life, it is truly rep- nsible ; and after the fair sex shall have learned this recent grievous ca- tastrophe, it is hoped they will lay a- sicle their corsets, and permit good sense and natural shape to take the lead in preserving their health, lives and usefulness ; and in doing which they may depend upon receiving cn- creased esteem from every man of sense and feeling. — £os> Cent.

The quality of his payment is> not strained. \ It droppeth, like tlie gentle dew of he-.iven.\ A printer's income pours not in showers; it droppeth. Reader, thou hast seen the parched earth suffering from the want of rain.—After a long dearth a cloud passcth over it. Perhaps a few scattering drops fail, but not sufficient- ly to lay the dust. Every six mouths, the printer expects a shower : a few \ strained ' drops only fall. He opens his mouth to catch enough to allay thirst : his wife does the same, and his children ; his editor (if he is not his own) his foreman (if not too poor to have one) his pressman, his cleric (if not his own) his journeyman, his boys, his carriers ; and, wider than all, horribile visu, his paper maker. The printer's devil, or runner, returns with a few \ strained dollars.\ They have lifted up their eyes in torment, but no cup of water has cooled their tongues. It is one of the most distressing scenes in the world, yet such as often occurs. And, if trials and tribulation, patience and long suffering under in- juries, fit us for a better state hereafter, Old Nic has few subjects in his king- dom who are printers of newspapers.
