Dread and fearful was the oath of exter

swore against the stranger bawler and his
brother, over the body of the dead idiot; hut
it was not needed—the one paid the forfeit
of his crime, and was executed within a
month after its c3mmittal —the other disap

of in the country. Black Burnett a',an

could hear to hear of people finding money
under flat stones.
Matthew and Grace inhabit the dwelling
still, though it is far more comfortable than
it was; and Snap's descendant cannot find
a hole in the door-post to poke his nose
through, though he is quite as cross and cu
rious as his grandsire.

:In Unlucky visiter.—A gentleman
wh.) resides in Francisville, Pa., had oc
casion on Saturday evening, about eight
O'clock, to visit a family residing in the
same village. Oa knocking at the door,
one of the children in the house began to
cry murder, when five ur six men rushed
from an opposite house, knocked the vis
itor down, and beat him to the consistence
of vurrant jelly. As an excuse for this
conduct, the assailants say that some pen,
son of a suspicious character had been
seen prowling about the neighborhood the
evening before, and that the unfortunate
visiter was taken for that.. prowler. This
of course, is quite satisfactory; especially
to the gentlemen what was licked.
A London paper says--" Harmony Hall,
the head quarters of the Scciali=t Commu
nity in Hampshire, was erected at a cost
of 30,000/. It is not yet half fitrished,but
most of tha rooms are handsomely fi ted
up; the inhabitants are clean, and the wol k•
men industrious. The quantity of land is
1,000 acres, held on a lease of 99 years, at
a rent of 15 shillings an acre, and is consid
ered by judges to he well wot th 3!. au acre

Striking. at the root.—Under this head•
ing it is stated in the Rocheszer .Democrat
that the Toronto Examiner is out in favor•
of Colonial representation in the British
Parliament, on a plan analagous to that of
Territorial ,representation in Congress.—
The representatives to be persons holding
property in the Colonies and to talk and
vote only on such quettions as ti:_late to the
Colonies. Thie is indeed "striking at the
toot" and such a proposition will be apt to
remind old England of the talk she heard
in 1775.
Chalk and Water.--It is computed
that the inhabitants of London consume
40.000,000,000 gallons water per diem,
and that the quantity of chalk held in so•
lution in this water is not less than 24 tons
per day. No allusion is made to the milk.

“Loco Foci) Proscription on the Public
works-. Preparations to elect . Porter's
successor from the Plunder Clique.”
Such is the caption to an article that ap-1
peared in the Philadelphia Forum of last
Friday, charging the dismissal of two Ca I
nal Boat Captains, formerly employed by
the Pioneer Packet Line, on the democrat-I
is party, and asserting that they were dis
charged because they were not friendly to I
the State administration. This is about I
the most absurd effort at political trickery
that we have seen sinue the humbug days
of '4O. What has the administration to do
with the Pioneer Packet Line, or how have
the'democrats the power to control its ac
tions? Will any person in this region be
lieve that a company, at the head of which
stands D. Leech,would discharge menlfrom
its employ reir being opposed to the dem
orratic party or for refusing to support any
member of that party as Gov. Porter's suc
cessor? We think n't; but on the contra.
ry believe that nothing would be more a
ereeahle, to the managers of that line than
a bitter hostility to the democratic party.—
In 1840. every species of political hum
bug that was then practised for the bancfit
of the federal party, was encouraged and
patronized by the Pioneer Line, and no
democrat who traveled on it, coed do so
i without being insulted by having io listen
Ito the misrepresentations of his party, and
also to endure the low exhibitions that
were continually present on thelOats fur
the put pose of ridiculing the principles of
the democracy. Such was the Pioneer
Line a litee more than two years since,
and we do nut believe that such a radical
change has taken place in its managers,
;that the pr.nciplt s which then would gain
a man unbounded praise would now in
duce his employers to discharge him.
Professor Lowrte's Lecture.
The eighth Lecture before the Wirt In
stitute, was delivered last evening by W.
H. Lowrie, Esq., Professor of Law in the
Western University of Pa. Subject—the
Progress of the Common Law, one on
which, the lecturer was peeulibrly filled to
treat; his daily pursuits and constant re—
searches both tending to add to his stock
of learning in the abstruse science of Lew.
The earnest and pleas.ng mAner of the ,
lecturer, procured for a subject, in itself
dry and uninteresting the undivided atten
tion of his audience. And he evinced an
acquaintance with the almost unfathoma.
ble obscurities of the matter of his dis—
course, that astonished his hearers, and
impressed 'them with the belief that ho was
destined to attain the highest honors oc his
profession,
01 Friday the Governor retutned to the
Legislature, with his approval, the bill a-(
holishina the Court of General Sessions,
Philadelp!tia. The Court will cease to
exist on the Ist of next month, rind its bu•
siness ho - ransrcrred to the Court of Corn- i
mon Pleas, which is to have an additional
law Judge. 'Hit is decided ihat Judge
Parsons is eligible— a question which is
now exciting considerable discussion in the
Legislature—he will take his seat on the
bench of the Common Pleas as a recom
pense for the loss he will sustain in the a
bolishment of the Gen Sessions, to which
he had been recently appointed.
The destruction of this Court, will no
doubt meet with the hearty approbation of
the public, as it is regarded as nothing
better than a sanctuary f,r villany and
fraud of the deepest die, ever since it si,!-
ed Biddle and his clan to escape the just
punishment of their crimes, and to bid de
fiance to the laws that have no mercy ftr
rascals of a smaller grade. If there had
been no court of General Session at Phila
delphia, it is probable that the Eastern
Penitentiary would have some distinguish
ed boarders at the present time, but who,
through the corruption of that tribunal, are
still permitted to run at large.
In Character.—Rid wood Fisher, a no

of New York, who has recently taken the
benefit of the Bankrupt Law, had, among
the debts in his schedule One of con•
siderable amount dve to a London tailor.
This is certainly a proper way for such a
man to encourage domestic manufactures.
He was too patriotic to swindle American
tailors, and an he got his coats, &c., in
London, and then repudiated.
Shot.—A Buffalo paper says that & soldier of
the barrackP, for some offence, was sentenced to
punishment; ho attempted to run away and was
ordered to stop, but disobeying, the Guard was
directed to fire upon him, which was done. The

"I sallied out for a stroll cn the Pont Neuf, in
all th., splendor of n new plume. Abutting on this
bridge, there was a tower, which served the purpo
ses of a prison. Within were cenfined several
ladies ofrank. At this lime there was a regula

At the same lime, h wever, he became responsible
for her conduct • If it chanc. d that she was af

complice. The ladies in the prison wishing no
doubt fur liberty, called to us, holding at the same
time billets dour in their hand. 'Citoycn, eitoyen,'
We were well aware of the meaning of this. The
billet dour contained an offer fir marriage. As
there w. re some pretty girls among them, we
im
