A reference to the fact, therefore,'was lik e throwing cold water upon him . you m et him V he asked, b e c a u k it was necessary to say soi^elhing. ^ ^:^es. H e is a plain,^ but very <rentlemanly man, there is nothing Ostentatious about him ; nothing tliat iharks the purse proud rich m an—:no upstart arrogance in his pha^jfcter. I wish I could remem- bcFhis n a m e ; but, no matter. Itis iio matter. It is O’, O’, O’— no, I can’t get it. B y the way, Mr. Leary 1 believe he is a countryman of yours and that rem inds me, o f a first k t e story I heard of him . It is k p i t a l ! One o f the best things that Occurred for some tim e. H a v e you heard it ^ W e ll, it is first rate. Som e 20 or 80 years ago, this g entlem an arrived in Qiir country, w ith his wife green froni Ireland. They came in com pany w ith another young couple of the sam e grade in society; one I believe, was a gardener and the other had been in a draper’s store and Came to seek their fortunes. A few sovereigns each w ere all they possessed. Both the m e n and their w ives had been friends from early years, and were attached to each other. In corning to this country they p ledged a lasting friendship at a tim e their ways in life lay side by sid e ; k i t there were some things in the conduct of this friend of O’— O’ — what is his nam e? O’Shane! Y e s now I have it! Q’Shane is his name, Mr. Leary ! ^ ^ O’Shane noticed some things in the conduct o f h is friend that h e did not much lik e ; as, for instance, when fortune sm iled a little upon liiiHj li6 W8.S d.ist8;iit toW3>rd. Q SliJin©^ said nothing about dividing his lasf penny with him as before., but when tiling's looked dark w ith him and bright with O’Bhane, he w a s exceed-. in<dy glad to bask in his friend’s sunshine. Still notwithstanding this O'Shane was attached ^ to him , and their wives were, like sisters. They started in the world as peddlers, O’Shane loaned his friend, who had spent all his m o n ey in sickness, enough to get a welhfilled pack. In order to lessen expenses, they rent ed a sm a ll house, and their wivesi lived together while, they w e re ^^‘A t length, the friend saved enough to set up a grog-shop, and O’Shane accepted a situation at the gonth. ^ T h ey parted, and never m e t again u n til s ix months ago— 20 years having elapse.d since they separated. The friend m ade enough in a few years, b y selling grog, to sale dealer, and is now, I am told, one ' o f our wealthy merchants. But he is represented as bpng ex ceedingly proud of Ms position in society, at the sam e tim e that he is h k g h t y and overbearing to those in humbler circumstances. W ith him , I suppose, as w ith too m any others, inoney, not worth makes the man. O’SUane, who was a far worthier m a n , pushed ahead at the S o u th ; not by selling rum, however— he ■was above that— ^but by fair and honorable trade. Ten years ago he w ent to H e w Orleans having amas sed about fifty thousand dollars in Ohati=eston, and entered into the cotton brokerage business, from w h ich h e retires w ith h a lf a m illion honestly made. B u t now for the grist of the story. ^'O ’Shane had not heard direct his :l^riend for 15 years ; b u t he knew-how-he was g e tting along, and ascertained on his arrival in B a lti more, that he knew nothing o f h is altered* fortunes. So, what do you think he does ? H e knew that i f he ^ame. as tKe possessor of h a lt a m il lion, he w o u ld bereceived; with open ^ m s , and he would never know whether a spark o f old and- true re gard rem ained. ' H e therefore, determ ined to test- his friend. In order to- do this, a -few ^ y s after his arrival in the eity, he called, in company with B id d y his wife, both plainly but n o t m e a n ly dressed, at the store of the m erchantand claim ed acquaintance. Two or three persons h appened to b e present a t the tim e, and T am told tbfey- describe, th e scene as rich be yond any thing-they had ever seen. The. m erchant did not know tiiem , and O’Shane, to refresh Ms memory, 3 ^mlndedhim,m.an,assumed brogue, oL o ld-Ireland and wha> they had been fherei. and o f their e#rly toila an d struggles in this country., * I t m said h e sppk% w ith much feelin^.- But the. OTlt^ftg^d merchant hid him, \ , begone, in a towering-.pasgion. . • i @ r The citizens o f Oamhridgej ‘ A fter tha% O’Shane’e w f e ealJed h a v e voted $50,000 f e spp- ip ^ l^ e n d o f her ^ r l y y e ^ , d p]y that c ity with water. hoping that she might not be as badly changed as her Lusha id. She* iSent up her name^ and received for answer that the lady wa: n’t at home; . or, as the servant said, not at home to her. ^It was enough. 0 ’§hane saw’ that his Q|d friend was unworthy of his regard and will treat him here after as a stranger.’- Leary and his com m u nicative companion were walking along, the former with h is h ead bent down and his eyes -upon the pavem ent, in order to conceal the expression o f his face. After the narrative was closed, and while smarting comments were being made thereon Leary looked up and found him self almost face to face with Q’Shane and his wife, both with the appearance and bearing of people who moved in and were used to good society. They looked at him with the look of strangers, and his eyes dropped beneath their gaze. ^ ‘ That’s the very man,’ said Leary’s companion, as they passed on. Leary knew it too well. A n d he also knew very soon after that his conduct had become notorious, and that people despised him for his purse proud a r r o g a n c e w h i l e O’Shane was lespected for his sterl ing qualities as a man — his true heart and scairid hea:l--^as much as for his wealth. l i e never forgave O’Shane in his heart, for what he had d o n e ; but his anger was im p o tent.

The recent appointment of the new Post Master at Eoslyn, continues to attract considerable attention; and has create^ some surprise at the mauner in which things are done up, now-a-days, at Wash ington. The facts of the case, if we are rightly informed, are these. The appoint ment has been held for many years by Afr. William Hieks, but Mr, Sehenclr, as deputy Postmaster, has had the principal management; and the Post-office was kept at his father’s J. R. Sohenek’s store, in Roslyn. The people of Roslyn had, for the last year or two, become much dis- satisfied with the manner of conducting the business; and with the place in which it was conducted—r-Mr. Schenek being in the habit of retailing spirituous liquors in a small way, and frequently allowing in the same room where the Post-office was kept, such pei’sobs, and in such situations, as to render it unsuitable for ladies apd children to call at the Post-offico for letters and papers. Under this state of things, Mr. flicks resigned bis^tuaflon as Postmaster; and the people ©f Rpsly'tt apd its vicinity almost unanimously Selected/Mr. James BI. Stil- well, an active and enterprising yopng merchant of that village as their future Postmaster. The bulk of#he population, without distinction of party—whigs, de mocrats and free-soiIers-^|oined in a pe tition to the Postmaster General, asking the appointmnet of Blr. Stilwell. Indeed the papers recommending BIr. Stilwell ena- braced the names of a large portion of the m.ost respectable persons in Roslyn, and far several miles around. Bleanwbile Blr. John R. Sebenck, did not apply for the appointment of him s e lf as Postmaster. But it seems that “ some things oan be done as well as others;” and application was made in the name of his son Blr. Sealy Scbeock, a young gentle man practicing law in New York—who, without the knowledge of the people of Roslyn, and against their expressly declar- ed wishes, and in utter disregard of the popular voice, has been appointed as Post master ! And now the Post-office is kept in the store of Blr. John R. Schenck, in the same room, and under the same dis agreeable circumstanees to visitors as be fore. The “ restoration of the Bourbons,” is indeed complete. For one man to defeat the wishes of the whole community, evinces some smart ness. And the way in which such opera tions can be successfully performed, ought to be knowa for the benefit of succeeding generations. With this view we proceed to state the modus operandi. Mr. Still well, the candidate selected by the people, happened to_^he a Demoorat, of that divi sion known as Hards. But this had no thing to do with his selection; as many of the softs and Whigs, also were active in recommending him. The appointing power at Washington at present, in soft hands and if in any way the impression could be got up that the petition for Stilwell was a hard movement—why then it would be easy to play upon the. prejudices of the appointing power; and, perhaps, aImoSj[j any soft who should be proposed, would slip in, without—and even in despite of— the petitions of the people. A word and a blow! HO time is to be lost [ A distin- guised editor of the soft school in polities, and having influence with the adnjitii.stra> tion, is called upon. He ig told that the movement to remove the Rost-office from J. R. Sebenck’s store, and to appoint Stil- well as Postmaster is a hard-shell move ment, instigated by Mr. Maurice, or his friends, and must be put down at all hazards. The Editor, though an old' bird,, is readily caught with this chaff. He is then invited to write,, quickly, to the Postmaster General, or those Laving influence with him. He does so- Presto! the work is done. B y a ldashof one-man's penv the voice of the people is sUenced—and in a trice the people of Roslyn have ak their Postmaster,. Mr..Sealey Schenck. ------- - I Wiii ------- - COT The snow, in this vicinity is. abpht one foot deep, on an ayerage., B*etter sleighing than we have at present could hot be wished for-; and the way the belles, and beaus do go. i.| is a ci^uflpato hpf?e,^ih andbefia., * To the Editor o f the Plaindealer. . , Having contributed to the survey of tlje pi;oposed North Side Railroad, and fdollpg much disappointment in not seeing any report from the Engineers—‘or even any report of the Committee having the funds, raised for that purpose in charge, showing its disposition—-I now propose a new project, viz.: A railroad from Glen Cove to Elushing, crossing Hempstead piarbor at the “ Gut” by a draw-bridge* I think such a route can bo surveyed at a small expense; and probably the funds can be raised at once for the survey. Please call the attention of this community to this new project, which is being talked of quite freely. OE en cove . The above communication was handed us the other day, and we now lay it before our readers. It is our opinion that a railroad from Elushing to Huntington will not be built for many years, owing to a peculiatv notion of our Long Island <‘old fogies” w “ hold back” till they see a positive opportunity of making “ cent per cent.” Then they are as ready as the most enterprising to take hold. The only resort left for railroad enter prise is from this place to Elushing or Brushville, there to connect with the Elushing or Long Island Railroad. In relation to the action of the committee spoken of by our correspondent, we must say that their behavior in the premises is anything but prompt and business-like. We have taken the trouble to look up their names which we append below. If the shoe should “ pinch” any ope, we shall be particularly glad ef it. We give the names as they appeared in the reportf under date of Aug. 17tb, 1858. Huntington^ Oysterbayj Buckram, Glen Cove-, Eoslyn, . Great Neck, Flushing, G. H Sheppard, Wra. J.Youngs, Jacob S.

M. Bowne and James Bailey were elected Trustees, the latter to fill vacancy for one year, occa sioned by the resignation of Isaac \Coles. Edward Bain was elected Collector.

We are informed that Mr. Peter Oriderdonk, of Manhasset, sold on the 21st ult., fifteen geese of his own raising, weighing 287 pounds at 14 cents per lb,-; amounting consequently tb $40 18.
