The following anecdote, says the Albany Argus, related to us by friend, is of recent occurrence, and too characteristic to be lost.

 Nfr H. of this state, was proceeding to old Maddam, on the banks of the Connecticut, with drove of Horses. He was near the end .sofhis journey, the roads forked, he was at a Joss which was the regular road to pursue, and his drove of horses were pushing on, some on one road and some on the other. In ehis dilemma, and having no time to lose, he espied young man choPping wood at the door of a house which stood at the very an- gle of the road. Squirting his horse there fore, Mir M. who was naturally impatient and fiery in his temper, rode up to the Yankee with breathless haste, and the following dia- logue enslsed:

 M. "Wtich of these is the right road to old Haddam!

 Y. Why? are you acquainted in old Had dam?

 M. -! don't you see that my horses are all going astray? Why in - don't you an- swer my question and tell me the road to old Haddam!

 Y. Why Mister. how you do swear! ne- yer heard any body swear so in all my born days.

 M. You internal rascal! if you don't tell me. this instant, which IS the road to old Haddam, Ill get of my horse and cOw-skin you as you deserve.

 Y. Holding his arms across his breast and looking up in the face of M. with smile of t;le most provoking tranqulty.] There now i; the mans absolutely in a passion! guess you wouldn't find it quite so easy to lick me tho'. But didn't mean any harm in asking if you was acquainted in old Haddam: for Uncle Isaac lives there, and thought may be you might know him.

 So MT. M. was obliged to collect his scat tered drove and "giess" " the road to old Haddam the best way he could.

 From "DunalIen," novel, recently re- published, we have extracted a scene, of which the truth and simple pathos, have we believe, brought tears into many an eye unused to weep. Even in its detach- ed form, and disconnected from the story of which it forms so touching part,it will deeply interest the reader. To enable all who have not read the book, whence it is taken,to cutter more fully into this interest we may say, that Churchill and Dunallen had been college companions and bosom friends-though of most opposite princi- pies and character-Churchill becomes a village curate, Dunallen gay thoughtless man of the world. The friendship of youth however, remained unshaken, by the evil courses into which he was betrayed, for he remembered, is it not the sick who need the physician Conscious of approach ing death, he sent for his frieud-Dunallen flew to his bedside, and there occurs the scene we present.
