Female Bravery. A named Lamont, residing in the unity of 'Rhinebeck, during the past winter misplayed an Irishman, who came to their honsomm day for assistance, to attend to the general outdoor business of the hone'. The !tunny thought he was an honest and industri• one man, mail a few days ago, whoa he went to Mrs. Lissom and desired some money, say log he was going away, Mrs. Lamont, not having the change with her, told hiM to go to the village and see her husband, who was theta on business, and he would give it to him. lie According's , did so, and obtained tho money he wanted. The nest morning, when Mr. La mont got up to make the ire, he found the windows and doors all open, and all the knives, forks, chairs, dfc., lying around the dining room. He immediately called Isis wife, who, an soon as possible, come down, and on going. into the room where the man slept, she found him in beds She then began to look about for her things, and found almost all her silk dresses missing, together with her gold rings and chain, and n lumber of ocher very valuable articles. tinspieion immediately rested upon the Irish• mar., who was arrested, and on his being brae& before a jantico, confessed hia-guilt, and was sent to prison for twenty days. In his room were found the ring and chain, and in a place called the Hallow, near the house, were found all the silk dresses, which ho had taken to the villa "o , to sell, hut finding no ono to buy them, hid them in that plaice. Two or three days after the occurrence, while Mrs. Lamont was in the house all alone, she thought she heard footsteps in the parlor, and on going up into the room, she perceived a tall rawboned Irishman in the room, and just about to enter into her bedroom, with a big thick stick, about three feet long. She demanded what business he had in her house when he in formed her that it was his house, and that if she did not go out of it he would soon make her, that they had sent one of his countrymen to jail, and he was going to have revenge. Finding she could not get him out, she went into an adjoining rm., whore her husband had a loaded musket, and cocking it, went hack int the parlor, and bringing the musket up level with his head, told him to depart; that if lie did not she would blow his braise out.— The fellow, not liking the looks of the instru ment, began to more off; and as he went she followed with the musket up to his head for a distance of nearly a quarter of a ['tile, when she was met by some men who took him into custody. Cheap Shirt Making in New York. A. legal investigation now going on in New York, discloses some curious facts touching the manner in which the seamstresses, of that city, are imposed upon. The matter under in. vestigation has special reference to shirt ma• kers, of which there seems to be a very large ntonber there, and their condition may be fudg ed of by the miserable price paid for their la bor. The standard price is twelve and a half cents per piece, and the garments must he well made, as it has to undergo a thorough insp.. Lion, with bosom and collars—bringing from one dollar twelve and a half cents to one dollar twenty-five cents at retail. The material in these shirts cost probably about thirty-seven and a half cents, so that the total coil. is fifty cents which leaves a clear profit to the employ er of one-half at least fur the purchase of the material, the cutting, and the sale. Two of these garments are, no doubt, a full day's work making the extent of the weekly earnings 0110 dollar and a half. With this miserable pit tance, many of them have to feed small fami• lies, pay house rent,and clothe themselves and children. It is needless to say that it cannot be done, and the consequeuce is a larger a mount of misery and destitution. Their pill able condition is taken advantage of by many in business, whose duty it is to assist attd tilag cur rather than oppress. In the case noticed in the New York papers, two dollars wore re quired to be deposited as security for the ex• ecution of the work, and the prompt return of the garments. Upon their return, fault was found with them, and an offer was made to sell them to the maker, but the two dollars dopes• ited were not returned. We have but litte doubt that a similar practice prevails in this city, among the grasping and heartless.—Duity News. A New Potato. A. B. Gray, Esq., dada. , his recent explora tions across the Continent ' , for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of constructing a railway to the Pacific, discovered a remarkable plant at the head of the Gulf of Culitbrnia, it being found its abundance through a range of naked sand hills skirting "Adair Bay." It is described as a parasite with a large and fleshy root, and has been called "Aminabroma Son orte,' signaling Sand Food of Sonora. The fresh plant is cooked by roasting on hot coals and re.fembles the sweet potato its taste, hav ing touch saccharine matter about it. It is likewise dried and mixed with less palitable kinds of food, such as inusquit, beaus, &c.— It is represented to be a very delicious yogi table, and could it be transplanted, Mr. Gray believes that it would constitute an important acquisition to the table, probably .t second in demand to the sweet potato or asparagus. It is said that the Tannye, or Sandwich Island po tato has beets introduced into cultivation in several of the Southern States. It is descri bed as a "delicious vegitable," and the, plant is very productive. i 9 editor of the San Antonio Texan says that a gentleman in that vicinity raised six bushels of the article upon 41 piece of ground fifteen feet square. The California Senator. The Senatorial contest in California is an exciting one. The San Francisco Journal (In. dependant) has no hope of the election of Dr. Gwin.—The Journal advocates a fusion of the Northern Whigs and Democrats upon a Friend of Free Labor, and to sink party. This would settle this triangular contest ono way or the other, and show the true sentiment of the California Legislature on the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and Slavery Aggression. George C. Bates Esq., formerly an influential Whig politician in Michigan writes that the present prospect is that the Whigs will unite with the anti Gwin Democrats and elect an in. dependent Northern Democrat, probably Dav:l Broderiek—opposed to to the Administration and the Nebraska bill. re— A law is about to he enacted by the Legislature of this State, which will affect, to a ,considerable extent, the existing legal relation between husband and wife, and parents and children. The first section provides that the power of any married woman to bequeath or device her property by will shall be restricted as regards the husband, to the same extent as the husband's power so to dispose of his prop. erty is restricted us regards the wife, namely, so that any surviving husbaed may, against her will, elect to take such share and interest in her real and personal estate as she can, when surviving, elect to take against his estates, or otherwise to take only her real estate as tenant by the courtesy. GREAT HUNTINU.—A party of Sioux Indi• ans who recently went on a hunt along the east side of the Mississippi river and in the neighborhood of Rice Lake, Minnesota territo ry, killed in one month five hundred deer, and a very large number of smaller game. This was not on the proper hunting ground of the Sioux, but they asked and received permission to hunt there from Governor Gorman. During the hunt they encountered a party of their in veterate enemies, the Chippewas, and had a tight, in which several Sim i*wore wounded and scalped. lEggs were sold in Washington city ou Thursday of last week, forfifty cents a dbeon -4 is at the rate of two cente a cackle. Horrible Disoovery. Tim Chicago Press of Feb. 24th has been furnished, by a gentleman from Latfaiette, Ind., with the details of a rumor current in that city which save, on the Saturday preceeding the memvarde storm of-the 21st of January, two families, vumbering ten persons, moving from Southern Luba. to Northern Illinois, arrived at Oxford, the county seat of Benton county, Ind., about forty miles northwest of Lafayette with two ox teams, and well provided with ne• cessaries for the road. They remained there through the storm, and on Monday mor• ning, a man passing over a prune, only about five miles from Hartford, came upon u sight which filled him with horror. . . VIC em•cases of two oxen, from which the viscera had been removed, lay upon the ground, Inside of one of them were the frozen bodies of four children, and in the other the frozen corpse of the soother, with a nursing infant at her breast. Under the 8110 W was a heapof ash. es, in which the iron of the wagons showed that the party had broken them up, and burn. ed everything they had in them, in the effort to save their lives. Not far from this spot was found the body of the other woman of the par. ty, partly concealed in a wow drift, near her, one of the men. The two other men had not been found. . . . It is probable that fhe party became intoxi cably involved in the snow drifts on the bleak prairie and lost their presence of mind. After horning up their wagons it would seem that the men had killed two of their oxen for a shelter to those found in them, and then, ac companied by ono woman, vainly endeavored to reach the town they had left, and procure aid to rescue their companions. The two other oxen had wandered Mt There was nothing. about the persons to indicate who they were, and nothing more is known about them than was accidently communicated by them during their brief utaty at Oxford- ler The Methodist Book Concern, which has so long been in dispute between the North and the South, has been finally arranged ami• eably by their Joint Commission in Cincinnati. The Book Concern is to pay the Methodist Episcopal Church South, eighty thousand dol. hors, and the Southern debts; $20,000 in stock, and the blilatice in cash—sls,ooo down, the remainder in instalments of one, two, three, four and five years. It is understood that the Book Concern pays the taxable costs yet due, and that they indorse the debts and mites of the Southern preachers without recourse. QUEER MAT:toteNut FREAE.—A letter from a citizen of Livingston county, Kentucky, to the Danville Tribune, relates the following bit of family history in that neighborhood : "A 1 widow laity took an orphan boy to raise, quite small, and when arrived at the ago of eighteen she married him, she then being in her fiftieth year. They lived many years to• gether happy as any couple. Ten years ago they took an orphan girl to raise. This tall the old lady died, being niaetysix years of age, and in seven weeks after the old man married the girl they had raised, he being sixty.eight and she eighteen." An lowa paper says that the people there have added another measure to their arithme• tics. It is called "drunkard's weight of Inca. stares." It is as follows 2 glasses make I dram. 8 drams make 1 drunkard. 8 drunkards make 1 groggery•. 4 groggertes make 1 jail. 5 jails make 1 penitentiary. 6 penitentiaries make I It-11.
