A Tonthful nnd t'nforlnnnt Pnlr. In the Court ofQuarter Sessions, on Satur day, case of considerable interest came up for consideration before Judge Campbell. It was the npplication of n wife, who complaineJ of be ing deserted by her husband, and prnying the Court to nwke an order, occordinj to the act of Assembly in such case made and provided, com pelling him toaflurd her a maintenance. Ruth the parties are what the law consider infants, or persons under the years of discretion, and in this instance, nt least, the supposition of the law was amply borne out by the fact. It ap peered by the testimony that the husband was employed in the family of tho wife's mother nt the a (re of sixteen as a servant, and that the boy and girl wern permitted to p'ay and he familiar with each other without pny dnngcr beinjj ap prehended. The result, however, to the aston ishment and dismay of the old people, was the ushering into existence, in about a year after ficboy came to tho house, of a third party, a ch irrninrj little likclcss of the two. The old raying that "lambs will play," had been forgot ten by the parents of the girl, nnd when this denouement, as eerious tt9 unexpected, took place, they set about repairing tho damage as ftr an lay in their power. Dit it was nut until the child was a year old that the youngsters were persuaded into a marriage ; and from that time the husband contril ut(d a portion of Lis very small earnings to the support of his wife and child about a month, when he became ured of the task. In addition to thip, ho was thrown out of employment, or relinquished work for the purpose of going tn school, and paid no more attention to his family. It appears that the wife was disposed to rest Mtisfn-d with this arrangement, until she heard that hei boy was getting into bad hahi's, freqent ing balls and theatres, and paying attention to other females, at which her jealousy was arou sed. She forthwith demanded a portion of his company ; and when he demurred, insisted up on his persisting in the neglect of his impor tant family duties, had him arrested and bound over to court on charge of desertion. This was only about five months after the marriage. After the evidence had been concluded, Judge Campbell asked him what he hud to say in his defence, and his reply was that he had no trade, had no work he was capable of do ing, and was going to school to qualify himself for some respectable employment ; also that he would not have married the girl had he not been forced to do so, and that he told her parents at the time that he could nut support her. The Court, however, did not recognize the validity of this excuse, and made an order that he should pay one dollar per week towards the maintenance of his wit'o and child, and give security fur a faithful compliance with the same. Those of the young man's friends who were in Court stated that it was impossible for him to comply with the order ; that ho him self was indebted t friends fur support; and that if required to pay, or give security to pay one cent regularly towards the support of his family, ho must inevitably go to jail. At this announcement tho young wife seem ed almost overwhelmed. Child as she was, she has during her examination ami thntof'.lic ether witnesses manifested considerable forti tude in the midst of her confusion and shame from the painful position in which she was pla ced, but when the fact was announced that her boy-husband must go to jail, she could scarcely restrain her robs, and was led faltering from the Cfiirt-rooui by on elderly lady whom we took to be her mother. In the mean time the judge appeared deeply effected, and no doubt considered this the most puzzling case he was ever called upon to decide. The boy was com mitted in default of security, but the counsel for tho prosecutrix was heard to declare that he would not be in custody over Sunday. The eounsel is an acute man, and he probably had hi reasons for the assertion, even if the specta tors did not see them in the ;;ait and demeanor of bis chent as she left the court room. Ltd.

No greater imposition can be I practiced on the travelling community, than to be shut up all night in a stage coach, w ith a drunken man ns a passenger. We left Harrisbnrg on Saturday evening, in company with Mr. Eycr of the Senate, and his wife, who occupied the back seat of a small coach. The coach, before leaving, stopped at Mr. Colder's stage office, when another passenger ivtt fed to the coach while the agent held the light. The door was clo sed, and we were soon ofT, when to our surprise we discovered that, instead of having a lume man for a fellow passenger, as we had supposed, the proprietors or their agents, for the sake of a few paltry dollars, had thrust in upon us a drunken bloat, whose fumes imparted an odour not much unlike that of rotten pomice, although both win dows were kept open to ventilate the roach. At the .Timet ion House, Mr. Hewitt, of Wil liamsport, was taken in, and our odoriforous gentleman was obliged, by the landlord, to take an outside seat. In this way we proceeded quite pleasantly for three miles, to New Buffaloe, when the driver stopped, and by main force and considerable impudence ojwned ihe roach and pushed him in, across the lap of Mrs. Eyrr.

This truly afflicting dispensation of Providence has fallen with a heavy hand on his family, and has cast a general gloom over the whole com munity. Judge Donxei, has been cut off in the prime of life, and in the vigour of his usefulness and intellect. In all the relations of life he was a man of most exemplary character. As a hus band and parent, his loss to an interesting family is truly afflicting. Few men were more devoted ly attached, and could better appreciate the com forts of domestic life. As a dutiful nnd affection ate son and brother, his bereaved mother, brother and sisters have sustained an irreparable loss, for which nothing eaithly can comp 'nate them. As a friend and citizen he had but few equals. His generous and social qualities, his afTable and courteous rrannt rs, always blended with a dig nified and honorable deportment, rendered him highly popular, nnd pained for him. through life, a large and extensive circle of friends and nc quaintancs, who deeply and most sincerely de plore this melancholly dispensation. Judge Dnn nel was born in Williamspott. but removed in early youth with his father and family to this place, where he continued to reside, with the ex ception of a few yi ars. all his life. His attachment for the place of his ndoption was strong, and be always expressed an earnest desire to spend the remainder of his days within its borders. Having acquired a liberal education, under the instruction of his friend, the Hon. Robert C. Giier, who was principal of the Northumberland Academy, then in a flourishing condition, he soon alter com menced the study of law, under the instruction of E. Greenoiigh, Esq., of this place, and was ad mitted to Practice in ISJ0. Like most of young lawyers, however talented, he also had his early struggles. His talents, however, did not fail to bring him into notice, and a few years after he rose into an ext-nsive and lucrative practice, and was, while at the bar, one of its brightest orna- I firrat interest.

A month ago, the Texan papers announced that a treaty between the two countries, to annex that territory, had actually been entered into.

Mr. Snyder's friends believing the time too short. and believing also that he ought, by common con sent, be considered tin; candidate of the demo cratic party, especially as he had been badly trea ted ut the last election, in consequence of local dissensions in this and other counties, refused to send delegates to the convention. Only twenty out of the thiity-eight delegates went into con vention, and nominated Robert B. Rarber, Esq.. of New Berlin. We regret the course w hich a few of Mr. Snyder- political opponents have ta ken in this matter. Even they acknowledge, that if a fair and full expression could have been hail, Mr. Snyder could easily have been nomina ted by a large majority. Why then throw any obstacles in the way ? The other counties are anxious and willing to run Mr Snyder, and would give him a hearty support, in order to make up for the defeat of the party last fall. The Union Times, in an extra, giving an account of the pro ceedings, says . " But nine districts wero represented, nnd out of that number three townships were in structed for Mr. Snyder on second ballot.
