There is much speculation in the city, says the National Intelligencer, as to 
the probability of further changes in the cabinet......, and it seems to be 
generally supposed that Mr. Polk, of the House of Representatives, will be 
nominated for the of [sic] secretary of the treasury.  All this is, however, 
as yet, mere conjecture.

Distressing Circumstance.- We regret to learn, that on Friday last, a daughter 
of Mr. Boltzer Hoffman, near the Broad-Axe Tavern, Montgomery county, who was 
subject to spasmodic attacks, unfortunately while engaged in feeding some 
hogs, fell into the pen, and was partly devoured by the ravenous beasts.  When 
found life was extinct.

year of her age.
*****
A Swap.- Mr. Stouks was asked the other day how he could account for Nature's 
forming him so ugly.  "Nature was not to blame." said he, "for when I was two 
months old I was considered the handsomest child in the neighbourhood- but my 
nurse, the slut, one day swapped me away for another boy just to please a 
friend of hers whose child was rather plain looking."
