THE BANKRUPT LAW
•
It was generally supposed before the Bank
'rupt Act Went into operation that the num
tier iiftottering business firms 4to would avail
themselves of it and go into liquidation Wonld
be immense. In fact, a financial crash was
hinted at. After three monthS' experience of
the workings of the law, the reverse of this
.proves to be the fact. The calendars in the
bankruptcy courts have been singularly light,
and the number of causes, we are informed,
does not. increase is fast*ns they are disposed
of. On the other hand, as a result of
there has been a vast increase in the number
of private settlements between creditors and
insolvent debtors. By such compromises the
unfortunate business mart who finds himself
temporarily embarrassed, is able to avoid the
publicity which attends his acceptance of the
privilege of going into bankruptcy, and the.
majority of creditors seem to find it to their
interest to- ccept such a — percentage on the
amount of their claims as may be mutually
agreed Upon, rather than trust to a division
of the assets of an insolvent firm after its
bankruptcy has been declared., .
Two THOUSAND' DOLLAIIS DAMAGES FOlt
Curer G OFF A Locii 0? • DAIR.—The guar
dian of a little' girl in Buffalo has brought
suit against a woman for cutting off two large
curls from the girl's head and converting the
same to her own use. Damages have been
laid at tt2,000. The girl is a sprightly little
child, and has a head full of long black curls
which are envied by both yo' i ong and old of
her sex: The offense was committed on the
14th of August ltLst, and a few days alter
ward-the woman was tried for assault and
battery for the same offense, in the Police
Court, and discharged, the Justice holding
that the evidence Was 'such as to preclude an
assault and -battery, and the proper redress
would. he civil damages.. The suit will prove
highly interesting and novel. If the offense
is as charged in the complalnLit Ls of a nature
that requires redress. How a jury of old
bachelors would decide is a question. But a
kitty composed of 'married men, whose hearts
are centered on their fair daughters, would be
severe in their veidiet.
N.tvroArios vs. RAU.noAlis.—The com
merce of the lakes has steadily increased
since the first schcon!er arrived in Chicago,
and the rate of incieise was never so rapid as
it has been since the multiplication'of West
ern railways began. The tonnage of the
port of Chicago alone has doubled 'within
the last five years, and now amounts to an
aggregate of "neaily one hundred thousand
tons. The exports by lake from Chicago
have increased almost . in like proportion.
The exports of corn alone (the motet uniform
crop in the West) have risen from 13,-
700,113 busheLs in 1860 to 33,540,406
bushels in 18 . 011 The yearly exports of grain
from Chicago.have of course varied with
the varying yield of the country from which
this produce has come forward for shipment;
but the important fact is, r thal the average
annual commerce of the hikes bas steadily
increased, and that the rate of increase; in
stead of being diminished by the multiplica
tion of railways, has been steadily augmented
by that very cause. I
DECAY L'i* TILE OIL REGIONS.-A recent
•visitor to the.oil.regions describes the deso
lation which reigns in that once famous lo
cality. Between Qil City and Meadville, not
one well is in operation. " It is only a long
line of rotting derricks and rusted boilers and
engines. At Franklin, where the French
Creek empties into the Allegheny, they show
with pride the great court house they are

martyrs of the war; land - the tumbling down
farm house of the Fvanstamily. Three years

.rape.—The North_ East Herald informs-us
that "during-the thunder storm of 'Wednes
day morning last, a barn on the Wilkinson
farm, in Greenfield township, about eight or
nine miles south of that village, was struck
by lightning and entirely consumed. At 1111
time of the accident there were eight persons
(men and boys) in - the barn, engaged in
threshing wheat„ every 'one of whom was
prostrated by the electric fluid, but, strange
to say, none of the& were seriously injured.
After recovering from the terrible shock and

when they discovered that the barn was in

they persisted : in sending their children to

LOVE IS A STAGE coAcu,
BY AS OLD BACHELOR.
How it poured ! Rattle, rattle against the
casement; splash, splash on the ground un
derneath, all night; and now, when I awoke
here, it was raining away
. harder than ever,
as if a second deluge were were at hand.
Confound the breakfast bell ! I do wish there
was no such thing as a breakfast on a rainy
morning ; for then one might lay abed all
day, or until the storm cleared off. Philoso
phers tell us that rain is necessary for the
economy of nature ; it may be true, though I
never troubled myself much about such
things; but if so men ought to be made like
dormice—to sleep' in unconsciousness until
the rain sees St to cease. Nature never in
tended us to be out in a shower, or we would
have been born with patent oil cloth or India
rubber skins.
Down it poured ! What on earth was I to
do? The day before had been the brightest
one of the bright month of May; and as I
had a passion for walking in the country—
more fool for it bad trudged away off
here, eight miles or more from town, to see
a country wedding, "after the order used
among Friends." I must say that the thing
was very handsomely done, and that I was
very much edified. So much so, that one of
these days I shall tell how the parties de
ported themselves—how many new hats
there were in the company, who' drove she
finest homes, and all other matters of gossip
so interesting to young misses and old bach
elors like myself. The day passed off with
a bright blue sky, until towards dusk, when
a thunder shower came up which lasted till
bedtime ; but I retired fully resolved that the
morning would see a clear sky over my head;
but the morning had come; and here it was,
pouring down in one dark, splashy, continu
ous stream, for all the world like an old
maid's objurgation:4 when her tongue gets
wagging.
Down I hurried to the breakfast table. r
had just buttered' my bread, and was swal
lowing the first mouthful of coffee, when the
horn of the coach to town was heard, and,
looking out of the window, I saw the vehicle
with Its four smoking horses, dashing down
the turnpike. It was my only chance to reach
the city that day. I bolted my bread, gulped
down the coffee till my throat was scalded,
jammed my hat on my head, and madea-dive
through the door. The driver did not see
me ; but cracked his whip with a flourish
and went on. I shouted; still the old villain
did not notice me, but with another flourish
of his whip set his four-in-hand on a brisker
trot, and rattled down the hill.
' Desperate with fear
,!:if being left,' pitched
after hint, scattering the mud around at every
step, and shouted at the top of my lungs;
but I might have shouted on till doomsday,
had not a passenger seen me and stopped the
old sinner. Out of breath, wet to the skin,
covered with mud from head to foot, and not
in the best humor from the loss of my break
fast, I mounted into the coach; but the in
stant I placed my, foot within the vehicle, all
my sulkiness vanished, fur-one of the loveli
est angels that ever blessed a rickety. oh!
coach, or warmed the soul of a sour, break
fastless old bachelor with her presence, sat
upon the back seat.
Did you ever fall in love? Of course. And
the lady was.the loveliest of her sex ? To be
sure. Then the stage coach beauty was twice
as handsome as your sweetheart; and if, after
this you don't think my fellow-passenger a
cherub, then I give up all hope of making
you appreciate her. Such eyes, such teeth,
and thin lips—egad! it almost makes me cra
zy to think of them.
I put myself down for the luckiest dog in
the 'world. She was dressed in plaid straw
cottage bonnet, 'with a green veil—"just such
a costume," said I, "a s a real lady wears
when traveling." And then she gave me
I such a sweet, but half roguish smile, as I
tumbled into the coach in the plight have
described, that I knew her ut once to beii
paragon in the way of education, tasty for
tune and all that; and I resolved—whatnow
ing one would not ?—to make the agreeable
off-hand, for there is nothing like meeting an
heiress in a stage coach, where she thinks she
thinks she is unknown, and dreams that eve
ry attention paid to her springs front true love
—ahem!—on your part.
I was in clover. What cared I for rain?
Splash, splash, splash, aye 1 rain away there,
like blazes—who cares? One doesn't get a
tete-a-tete with a pretty girl every' day in the
week—so I determined to make the best of
it.
And, faith, with a few slight compliments,
and my extraordinary good looks, I soon got
as cosy with my unknown beauty, and she
with me, as it we had been acquainted since
the days of Noah. We talked of the Wedding,
flir she had been there—of the scenery—of
the rain—and of whatever came uppermost ;
and there was such a charming frankness in
all she said, that I really thought her the most
winning creature I had ever seen ; and I ven
ly believe, if the floor had been softer, and I
had known the accurate number of houses of
which I would be tenant, in courtesy, I should
have gone down on my knees to her at once.
I hate showing one's learning off in public,
so I avoided anything like literature, though
I saw•liy the intelligent eyes of the charmer
that she had a soul alive to all the finer sen
sibility of nature.
At length we got on the subject of house
' keeping. Now„if there is anything I hate,
it is a woman that can't keep house, and I
trembled at every word, lest my charmer
should confess her ignorance of these matters.
Shade of Apiclus ! how my heart leaped When
she told me that hardly a day passed in which
she did not make. bread, or pies, or sponge
cake, or some other of these shimshaws that
delight thaheart of man; and in expatiating
on such delicacies, she rose to a pitch-of elo
quence that I never heard surpassed. I could
not resist my feelings, but snatched her hand
to my lips and kissed it. •
- Yes I I felt that she was destined to be mine
for it there is anything a wife ought to know
it is this. I come of a race of caterers. My
grandfather lunched on half a dozen rabbits,
and died at last from a surfeit produced by
lusting two roast pigs. My father can break
his fast on a brace of capons, or devour a
pair of turkeys without having 'to pick his
teeth ; and a brother of mine can' tuck in a
hundred oysters and dishes of chicken salad,
which does honor. to the family-. My own
exploits in this line, my modesty forbids ice
tarnentiont
No Wonder I loved this rosy little beauty,'
who could get up a choice fry, and bake such
delicious cakes. Alt ! what a life of domes
tic happiness rose before 'my vision, when
pictured' myself returning home from court
at night, to meet a. beef steak broiled, or a
bowl of the richest turtle soup, served up by
the fair hand of the angel at my . side. I re
solvedif there was any virtue in a pair of
whiskers, an eloquent tongue-, or in my new
blue coat, to win this seraph of pie-bakers.
There is no place like a stage coach for
making love. It comes natural. You do it,
egad, in an easy, don't care-for-anything style
that you can't for the life of you assume in
any other place. What betwixt sitting on the
same seat to talk more conveniently, and
putting your arm around her waist to keep
her from jolting off, you soon get to be won
derful cozy, and ten to one, if you don't catch
yourself squeezing her hand, or varying the
entertainment in sonic other way, before you
are aware of it. -
NO. 21
For my part, as I have said, I was ready to
surrender at discretion, and I already fancied 'r
myself lightening the dear creature beside
me of the troublesome duty of collecting the
rents of her various fine houses. It was
charming to ,think of the progress I had made
in her affections. What a delicately rosy
cheek it was that I just then slyly kissed—
she blushing the deeper at my warmth. And
then her saucy, pouting lips; and then her
figure, just the size for a man who hated your
thin weasel-shiped young misses as he hated
epidemics.
Ah, what a Wife she would make! How I
thanked my stars that I had hitherto set.my
eyes like a flint against every temptation to
marry—for now my firmness was, rewarded
by this beauty and heiress dropping into my
mouth. And then I preaChed to myself a
mental homily on the short-sightedness of
man, as I ventured to steal another kiss from
the conscious and blushing little beauty at
my side. I was about to pop the question
itself, when the coach stopped, and the driv
er descended and opened the door. My charm
er rose, I was taken all aback. •
" Do you get out here?" said I; in surprise.
" Yes," said she, " I see Mr. Powell is wait
ing for me."
Mr. Powell," said I, for that was the name
of a friend of mine who lived up this very
lane, not half a mile from the turnpike ; "do
you then live with him 1 1 - Perhaps you're a
relative? Strange," I muttered to myself, "I
never heard him speak of this alarming erea-
MS
Before I could answer, Powell approached,
and while he hailed me, my fellow passenger
sprang to the ground as if by magic, and the
next minute was to my friend's vehicle.
" For heaven's sake," said I, half mad that.
the hearty gripe of Powell prevented me
from hastening to his ward's assistance, "who
is that angel ? Is she a - relative, ‘a ward, or
what y I'm dying for love of her." "
Powell burst into a laugh, and laughed on,
till team came in his eyes. Confound the
fellow, what did he mean ? I began to get

" Come, my dear boy," he said, " don't get
into a passion, but consider how odd it is
that you, of all men, should fall in love with
my cook."

The tourist visits few places where more
unrefined impressions and emotions rush up
on him than in Utah, as he feels that his feet
stand on modern Zion, in the valley of the
Great Salt Lake—the laud of the Latter Day
Saints—the land of many wives and children
—the land where Republicanism 'and De
mocracy are unknown—the land of the one'
man power. There are three governments
in- Utah, viz: the Territorial, the Chuich,
and Brighton Young's Government. The
great Monnon_prophet is at the head of the'
two last mentioned. The first is established
by Congress, but it is a fiction, fur; none arc
elected tothe Legislature except Mbrmons.
If the Governor vetoes laws passed, the Leg
islature of the State of Deseret can pass them,
and Gov. Young gives' it his sanction, and
they are laws for the State, when they failed
to be so for the Territory. The laws of the
State of Deseret arc not published,.but are
kept among the secret achives. The Mor
ticing till nearly every office, and everything
is under their control. The District Attor
ney has six wives; the Collector of Internal
Revenue is a most belligerent Mormon, and
besides the office, holds also the following:
Sheriff of Salt Lake county, Assessor and
Collector of the county and Territory, Mem
ber-of the City Council and Adjutant Gener - -
al of all the forces of the Church and State
of Deseret. All of these offices are of great
importance, and comprise more powers than
our room will allow for explanation. He
has six ()trim ; he has six wives. The As
sessor of Internal Revenue andids assistants
have three wives each. The postmaster of
Salt Lake City is an Englishman, and has
wo wives antinine children.. The popula
tion of Utah is estimated at one hundred
thousand. One of its leading merchants last
year cleared nearly a half milliorfof dollars, -
and all the energetic business men are cor-...
respondingiy prosperous: The amount as
sessed for the whole Territory is about RA
-000, which is 02,000 less than, the assess
ment of Colorado, that contains only two
hundred thousand souls. Th.ispeople,undcr
the advance of their leaders, are preparing.
for resistance, even to war; against any in
terference with what they call their religious
faith. They anticipate no interference, ex
cept from the United States. The burden of
their speeches and sermons everywhere is to
arm for the coming contest. They are arm
ing. Brigham Young has just returned after' -
a tour of tour weeks with his military staff
and speech-makers. Their faith as appears
from all they say, and all they act, is reduced
to but one item—polygamy. This is the -
only thing they talk about fighting for, and
it is the only item the leaders care a rush
fur. -
PUTTLNO ON " STYLE."—The-Dayton (0.)
Journal tells the following "yarn :" "A few
montlis - hg,o a gentleman moved to this city,
and purchased /1 nice property, and, among
other things, to contribute to his con
venience and comfort, procured a fine horse
and a very genteel carriage. A "likely col
ored boy' was employed at a fair salary to -
take charge of the establishment and dis
charge the numerous duties which arise
around a well regulated homestead. For a
time things went on smoothly with 'Chores,
but latterly he seemed out of spirits, and sel
dom smiled. His employer observed this
despondent demeanor of 'Chores; and lib
determined to get at the bottom of it. Per
haps he was in love! But no matter. Tak
ing 'Chores' aside one day, when he looked
more gloomy than usual, he inquired consid
erately, what it was that ailed him: 'Well,
you see, Mas'r' began 'Chores,' in a sort of
tragic style, 'you's got but one boss, while
all de gentlemen 'bout Lea has two ;, an' all
de boys da calls me a one-boss nigger ! an'
as I can't Stan dat, I spects I'll have for to
resign !- I likes you fus rate, Mas'r, an' I'd
like to stay if you had two horses, but you
see how it is—dc boys da can't quit hollering --
-'dare go dat one-boss nigger !' Not wish
ing to lose the valuable services of so valua
ble an assistant, a second horse was purchas
ed, and 'Chores became a two-horse nigger."
- MANY years ago, when Thomas Jefferson
was President of the United States, an at
tempt was made at Washington to execute
his bust in plaster of Paris after a new plan,
which, but for the fortune of an accident,
might have ended in the death of the Presi
dent. An artist by the name of Bower fitted
a box tightly about the President's neck,
and left air opening in the top throiigh which
he was to pour the liquid plaster. The hair
of Mr. Jefferscin was prepared in the usual
way, his ears-stopped up, and a 'couple of
quills were put into the nostrils, communi
cating with the outside of the box, through
which it was supposed by the artist a suffi
cient supply of fresh air could be obtained.
The artist was not, however, as well read in
physiology as he might have been, or ho
would have known no ordinary man; much
less the President of the United States, could
get enough oxygen to sustain life through a
couple of small goose quills. Mr. Jefferson.
took a seat on a couch, his head in a box,
and the artist poured in his plaster. For a
short time the great statesman, patiently sub
mitted to. the uncomfortable position, but
finding the supply of air insufficient, he got
up, and dashing his head against the wall,
broke the • box, and the whole contritanco
fell to the floor in fragments. Thus ended
the attempt, of Mr. Bower to take a bust of
the President.
LAST week a loving pair undertook to get
married in Areostock, Me., and repaired to
the town clerk's office to get the necessary
documents. The groom was surprised to
find that his intended was an old patron of
the concern, another man having the day
before taken out a license to marry her.
