AN IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH.
Tho following section of a law passed
by the Legislature before its adjournment is
one of much importance, particularly to
printers, nud is. calculated to prevent impo
sition and coircct abuses which have here
to fore been practiced to a great extent.
In all cases when any Shoriff, Prothon
otarv Register of Wills, or Clerk of Court
Shall be required by law, or an order of
court, to publish any notice in the newspa
pers, and is allowed by law or said order to
charge the expense of said advertisement,
it shall bo the duty of said officer to make
out a bill showing specifically the amount
actually paid for printing said notice; and if
said olhccr shall charge any other or great
er amount than actually paiu lor publishing
saul notice, lie shall be subject to the pen
jiliics prescribed by law for taking illegal
. fees, to be sued for and recovered in the
mode prescribed by the 20th section ol an
net entitled an act establishing a feu bill, pas
sed the 27th March, 1814; but subject to
the limitation contained in the 15th section
of tho supplement .to said act, passed the
22d February. 1821 : Provided. That the
'pVrialtyshall not take effeot until the 1st
day of August next."
Tlie act referred to is contained in Pur-
don's Digest? page 4l5r, from which we ex-
Uact the following :
" If any officer shall charge or demand
and tako any ol tho lees herein belore as
certained when the business for which such
fees are chargeable shall not have been ac
tually donoand performed; oi if any officer
shall eharge or demand any fee for any ser
vices other than those expressed heretrfore
Itv this act, such oflicer shall forfeit and pay
to the party injured FIFTY DOLLARS,
to be reeoverod as debts of the same amount
aie recoverable.'
SINGULAlfFoNOMANIA.
The Boston Mercant le JorjKl of Ust
week publishes a letter from North Brook-
(field, Mass., detailing the most singular rase
wof monomania, attempts at murder, and
ffubseaucnt suicide, which our coin ins have
nlironicled for a long lime past. The hero
f the traced v was a Mr.- Whipple Harden,
of HiookfielJ. llarllett was a miser, and
had two debtors iu Brookfiold,one of whom
owed him three and the other twenty-five
dollar. He tried to kill both for their nnn
payment, but iu one case was foiled by be
ing thrust out ol the door bclore he could
use his pistol. In tho other he tired at his
intended victim, Mr. Nathaniel Sipw, but
the pistol halt struck it button, and did small

which he had previously deposited a loud

lie took his horse ont of the shafts and
' Vitr.hed htm to the ffinco, put a buffalo skin
on him and returned to his funeral pile.
He plarcd himsolf in suoh a position as
that he thought he should fall on the wood,
"which he had set on fire, and on which ho

his brains out with a pistol, but when he
fell he did not fall on the wood, as he inten
ded, hut felt' down by the side of it In
his xliuation he was found next day, with
one hand burnt off and one side of his face
burnt to a coal. It appears that his inten
lion wa3 to have destroyed himself and all
his property, even to the last cent. And
as his axo and "spear would not burn, he
sold them for money. In the ashes of the
fire were found about I t z. of melted sil
ver, and in his pockets 70 or 80 dollars in
hills, and his two watches. Three pistols
laid,by his 8ide,!taving provided one for Rice

Honesty Poverty Rewarded. A gentle
man of Now York arrived at the Tiemont
House a day or two ago, on his way to
Lowell, and while in the city had occasion
to exchange some money. He placed the
bills in his vest pocket, and took the cars
for Lowell. When he reached there he
discovered that he had lost a five hundred
dollar bill. The loss seemed irrcpaiable
and he abandoned all hope ot recovering
the money. The gentleman returned from
Lowell, and was not a little surprised to
learn that a methodist clergyman, the Kev
r. u. 1'iercc, had been put in possession
ol his money by an honest orange seller,
named Uonuell, at the Lowell depot, who
had found it there, the gentleman having
dropped it while procuring a ticket for the

legislative unanimity. it is hut very
seldom that we perceive in the proceedings
ol legislative body, an evidence ol that cor
dial unanimity which ought to characterize
persons holding the same opinions relative
to the great republican principle. There are
lorever some "crooked sticks," use Johny
Randolph for instance, who, if they did not
oppose every thing, could not live. The
members of tho Louisana legislature, fur a
wonder, however, were recently entirely
unanimous in voting on a subject which
came before them a circumstanre which
has hardly a parallel in the legislation of this
country. The proceedings upon the ques
tion are given in the Picayune :
"There was no dodging; no requests to
the honorable gentleman to postpone his le-
solution no logrolling; no lobbying; no
member stool up in his place to say that it
was a subject upon which he had not made
up his mind; no one wished for time to con
sidei; no one said the motion was brought
forward to servo a political purpose; no a
monuments were ottered; no substitute was
suggested; no constitutional objection w as
raised; no one said he would oppose it as a
whig measure, no one as a loco fuco; no one
called it a humbug, a wooden horse, a blind
or a hobbv; but all voting for it without a
dissenting voice it was a" "perfect straight
shoot." If there was any delay at all in driv
ing the motion through.it arose from the fact
that one gentleman was not fully awako at
the time.
"All that are in favor of this motion will
say aye," said the Speaker.
All said one. save one.
"Did you say no?" continued tho speak
cr, addressing tho gentleman above alluded
. . it-. - .1.- !.: I...
to, wno is generally in tun oppusiuun wnav
ever may he tho question.
"Yes 1 " said he, " I remared I had no
objection to voting for the resolution" he
havniff bv this time found out what it was
about.
I'erliapi the reader would, by this lime
ko lo know what it was about. It was a
resolution then, lo increase the payment of
members.
