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.

CCj" Imposition. 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. It
was raining and the night was cold. We suffer-

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 secret treaty, it is said, has
actually b-'en made, and it is asserted by some of
the New Voik papers that the Senate will ratify
it. Texas, it is said, will become n dependency
of England, if not annexed to the T'nitcd States.

The. Annexation of Texas.
The New York papers assert positively that
they have received intelligence, from high au
thority, that the long entertained project of ac
quiring the Texan territory, by consent, is on
the point of consummation, or already consum
mated, so far as that end can be achieved by Ex
ecutive action ; that a negotiation, almost com
pleted under the auspices of the late Secretary
Upshur, has been resumed and hastily brought to
an issue by the present Secretary, Mr. Nelson.
A month ago, the Texan papers announced that
a treaty between the two countries, to annex
that territory, had actually been entered into.
This information was not rredited by any of
the newspapers in the United States, because no
intimation of such a project being in progress of
consummation had been given forth from Wash-

fjy Byron had great reverence for the memo- !
I V ol Washington, and olten alludes to him in 1
his poems Iu the following stanza he pays a
just tribute to the virtues of that truly great and
good man, who was truly great because he was
also good :
Can tyrants but by tyrants conquered be,
And freedom find no champion and no child,
Such as Columbia saw arise, when she
Sprang forth a Pallas, arm'd and undefiled ?
Or must such minds be nourish'd in the wild,
Deep in the unprnned forest 'midst the roar
Of cataracts, where nursing Nature smiled
On infant Washington ? Has earth no more
Such seeds within her breast, or Europe uo such
bbore? Byron.
