6. Pantaloons - Of duck or drilling. with
1 11 flannel stripe down the side, going clear
around the leg. The stripe to be red for ar

blue pink for the dragoons.
On the scat is to be firmly sued a bra
zen star, with a strong brass book protru
ding from its centle, on which may be hung
' the camp kettle and lighter articles of the
soldier's baggage.
The advantage that this hook possesses in
doing away with the objectionable practice
of •‘ bucking," must be evident to all. By
hitching it to I' strong staple in a wall the
soldier is effectually secutell Without doing
that violenee to his feelings that the pasiage
of a stick between his legs is calculated to
occasion. The dragoons can have their
hooks attached to *staple fa the cantle pf
the saddle which will give them -- a secure
seat, &nil make them the moat fearless horse
men in the world.
Three ostrich plumes, red white and blue,
will surmount the star, thus becurnig to the
soldier a bnlhant end, under any a nd every

.'hoes.—Of the ankle or Jellerson kind,
with a likeness of JOillbron worked in worst
ed on each foot, and rod heels.
This includes the main portions of the uni•
form, which I believe to be entirely correct;
but should there be found some difference
between this and the original order, I doubt
not this will prove the more sensible and ac.
ceptikhle of the two.

Hyde is not far from fifty years of sp, a
house carpenter by 'trade, in comfortable
circumstances, es to property, and, we
shame to add, is a member of a Christian
Church. It is now currently reported and
believed, in Greeneville, that when his wife
died, and while she laid dead in her shroud
in the house, her aflectionate husband at
tempted to remove the coveted teeth from
her mouth-; but the rigid muscles would not
relax, andhe was, consequently, compelled
to suspend operations for the tine. But it
was only a suspension. The purpose wee
merely postponed, not relinquished ; andel
ter brooding over the idea for a twelvemonth,
he has finally put it in execution. Hyde
not only confesses to have done this horrible
thing, but he is even brazen enough to jus
tify it. —Nortotri t Cf.) Gunnar, 250.

not as trilling as the gentlemen representing
the,defomient would have the jury believe
it involves the rights of a teacher as well as
a...choler. If the defendant beat (lie prose

her body, showing excessive beating, or to
draw blood, it is a proper cage for investiga

severity of the whipping. It is in evidence
that marks of violence were found upon her
person, showing improper castigation. She
may not have 'suffered as much as her skin
indicated—the Jury, however, arc to judge
of these facts. If the defendant gave way to
passion, and struck severely, it is the duty l i
of the jury to convict.. Whatever action the

cannot judge between teacher and pupil.—

An Ornament to Society
The conduct of certain young gents who
consider that they algae hare a right to talk
in company, reminds me of the awful satire,
of Charles Lamb upon a -pompous" young
ass in the English navy, who mainly monop
olized the conversation at a hospitable table
of a friend in Camden-town, when lamb
was an honored guest. " That is most
extraordinary circumstance which you men
tion," said Lamb ; " I wonder he had not
immediately ceased to exist." "Ohoto cr-o,
not at all ; a mere buffet-wound—don't you
see— but a ball—a cannon ball—don't yen
observe—is a different matter ! Once, on
the " Terrific Johannsbull," (470-gun-ship,
ye kno`,) there was a Bellew litho mounted
the shawouds ; a ball came, and took oil his
'ands nod harms. Ile dwopped, of caws ;
but n'ile ho was dwopping—don't ye see—
there came another cannon-ball, which struck
him abaft, and took ell both of his legs. It
couldn't possibly 'ere 'appeoed—you ob
servvin ten dines out of live, in the most
tewifick engagement." "Wonderful !" ex

" Good God, ko 1 —harms gone—legs shot

Lost, of muse !" What a pity !" said
Lamb, musingly ; " if that man had been
saved, he might have become an ornament to
suclay !".
The Rev. T. L. Cupler has been writing a
letter to the Christian Intelligencer, in which
he took occasion to refer in a very unchari
table manor to thd late Judge Kane of
Philadelphia, in consequence of his decision
in the fatuous Passmore Williamson case.—
The sacredness of the grave, and the Bei
enanij.y of death, could nt t . detect the do

reply to Dr. Cuyler, DrActhune, who was
a warm ind attached friend of Judge Kane,
in the same paper, thus gallantly COMM out
in defence of his reputation
