In Baltimore a poor woman was taker , to the watch house for stealing wood, she begged to be taken to her children, or that they be brought to her, else they would freeze. Her request was not gran• ted. In the morning both the children were found frozen to death. What a corn mcnt on the huumnity of the Baltimore watchmen.`. Quick Work.—A letter was received in Philadelp'ti•a, only fifteen days after it was mailed in Washington. Our mails, can beat that—not long since we received a letter post marked six miles below here, only seven days on the road. That is at the saute rate of the man who walked foarteen miles in ttfteen days. The Blood-hound Army it seems, have arrived at Florida, and we suppose are How to do what Van Buren and his ad ministration have been trying for years; sad has cost our treasury so many mil lions of dollars. We have no hesitation in saying that a well trained ;corps of French poodles could accomplish as much good, with less expense, as have bee n dose by our army. But as for the blood hound project, it is exactly worthy of the towers that be. Neither the magician nor his puppies were fond of fighting. I( old Tippenanoe or oven old llickory, aged and debilitated as he is, were auto ti them they would find thEt they knew how to do their own fighting, Another- Victim to drunkeness was found in Greensboro, N. C. Having laid down by the fire, his clothes caught and. he was literally roasted alive. Was not the man who gave him the liquor accessa.. Ey to his murder? A barber in Washinton advertises "scalps" fur sale. He had better go to Florida, our warriors therelhave not caught popeose this nine months; and if they could buy a good scalp, they could make the war department b-lieve they had kil led au old Indian; and forthwith I'rocla•i mation could be made—" The Florida war ended." Evidence of Inlandy. —Dr. Brandreth I (uf pill making memory we suppos•:) has sued the editor of the Boston Post for $20,000 fur saying that the said Dr was crazy. The Post says, "if suing a prin ter for that amount of money is net such '. cient evidence of insanity, there is no use fee insane Hospitals. Our Slate debt amounts, it is said, to eighteen dollars for every man :woman and child in the Stale. We say Porte r has added millions to it, and before this legislature adjournes, millions more will be added—stick a pin there. Virginia has elected a Harrison Gov ernor. Prell done for the old Dominion; the bail is rolling: A thild was killed the other day, by Neighbor sitting on it in the cradle.
