Avery polite Judge.
Got. Ford, of Illinois tells a very rich anec
dote of one of the early judges of that State,
but the Governor does not put upon record the
name of one sensitive and considerate matris
trate. TjA
At the court over which this judge presided,
a man by the name of Green was convicted of
murder, and the judge was obliged to pass sen
tence of death upon the culprit. Calling on
the prisoner to rise, the judge said to him—
“Mr Green, the jury say you are gilty of
murder, and the law says you are to be hung.
I want you, and all your friends down on In
dian Creek to know that it is not I who con
demned you; it is the jury and the law. Mr.
Green, at what time, sir, would you like to be
hung; the law allows you time for prepara-
Ihe prisoner replied, ‘May it please your
honor, 1 am ready at any time; those who kill
the body have no power to kill the soul. My
preparation is made, and you can fix the time
to suit yourself; it is all the same to me, sir.”
“Mr Green/ returned the judge, “it is a
very serious matter to be hung; it* can’t happen
to a man but once in his life, unless the rope
should break before bis neck is broke, and you
1 letter take all the time you can get. Mr.
Clerk, since it makes no difference to Mr.
Green when he is hung, just look into the al
manac, and see whether this day four weeks
comes on Sunday.*
The clerk looked as he was directed, and re
ported that that day four weeks came on Thurs
day.
“Then,” said the judge, “Mr. Green, if you
please, you will be hung this day four weeks at
12 o'clock’” . ,
The attorney general, James Turney, Esq.,
here interposed and said,
‘May it please the court, on occasions of this
sort, it is usual for courts to pronounce a form
al sentence, to remind the prisoner of his peril
ous condition, to reprove him for his guilt, and
to warn him against tire judgement in the
world to come.”
‘Oh, Mr. Turney/ said the Judge, ‘Mr Green
understands the whole matter; helms got to
be hung. You understand it, Mr Green, don’t
you ?” ■
‘Certainly’ said the prisoner.
“Mr Sheriff, adjourn the court.’
Four weeks from that day Mr. Green was
hung, but not so much to Ids own satisfaction
as his appearencc promised on the day of his
conviction.

An Arkansas correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune gives the following as authen
tic :
You are all fond of cracking jokes at the
expense of Arkansas; now here is one on your
State, absolutely true. I got it from an eye
witness :
The district court in one of your northern
parishes was in session —’twas the first day of
the court; time, after dinner. Lawyers and
others had dined and were sitting out before
the hotel, and -a long, lank, unsophisticated
countryman came up and unceicmonionsly
made himself one of ‘em, and remarked:.“Gen
tlemen, I wish you would go on with this court,
for I want to go home—l left Betsy a looking
out.”—
“Ah!” said one of the lawyers, “and pray
sir, what detains von at court ?”
“Why, sir,” said the countryman, “I’m
fetched here, as a jury and they say if I uo
home they will have to find me, and they inou’ut
do that as I live a good piece.”
“What jury are you on?” asked a law
yer.
“What jar >• ?”
“Yes, what jury. Grand or traverse jury?’
“Grand or travia jury? dad-fetch'd if I
know.”
“Well,” said the lawyer, “did the judge
charge you.”
“Well, squire,” said lie, “the little fellow
that sits up in the pulpit and kinder bosses it ;
over the crowd, gin us a talk, but I don't know j
whether he charged anything or not ”
The crowed broke up in a roar of laughter,
and the sheriff called court.

31ol> Crandell’s Sv iming.
Bob Grandell visited England last summer.
While stopping in the metropolis he happened
to.drop into a colYee house, where a lot oi
cockneys were speaking about the swimming
powers of different individuals. One gentle
mau said his friend William could swim five
miles ib forty minutes. Another allowed that
Tibbetts could do more than this—Tibbetts
could do it in some thirty-three minutes and
seven eighths. Just hero Bob asked if he
could offer a remark.
“Yes, certainly,” said they.
This being decided, Bob opened
“ Your friend 1 ibbetts is some swimmer, gen
tlemen, but his performance would be con
sidered nothing in America On the Missis
sippi, men swim so fast that they go ahead and
pilot steamboats follow.”
“Nonsense.”
“No nonsense at all. To show that I am
r.ot joking in this matter, I am willing to make
abet with any person.”
“What is it?” •
“That I can out swim any man in England,
and give him an hour’s start.”
“For what sum, sir? ’
“Anything—from fifty pounds to a Califor
nia gold mine.”
“We’ll take that bet, sir, and stake a hun
dred pounds that you can’t beat Mr. Mullins
and give him that start.”
“Very good; I will take the bet, gents,
and here’s twenty sovereigns to bind the bar
gain.”
“AVhcn will the swim come off?”
“Immediately.”
“That’s preposterous —the day is too far
spent”
“Day ? Why my dear sir, I intend to swim
u whole week. In the United States it is
considered nothing to swim that length of
time.”
“'Possible!”
“Yes, sir. Henry Slocum, of New Orleans,
■once swam from Charleston to Cuba. Put this
is wasting time. Let us at once proceed to bu
siness.”
“Where do you wish to start from ?”
“Land’s End.”
“Why there ?”
“I intend to swim round the Island, and
wan.t lots of sea room.”
The idea of swimming round Great Britain
was something that < ockneydom had never be
fore heard of.
“Such a pull would kill a ‘orse,” said Mul
lins, but Bob was used to such things. Mul
lins persisted, however, in his refusal to under
take anything so absurd, in consequence of
which Mullins’ friends had to come out with a
forfeit in the shape of a basket of champagne.
During The remainder of Bob’s stay in England
he was looked upon as the “’Merican pro
digy”—the man who talked of swimming from
Lundun to Nova Scotia.

Something about Names.
“What’s in a name? A rose
By any other name would smcdl as sweet..”
Shakespear
Mr Editor.— As a lot of your male cores
pondents have taken it into their heads to abuse
u>.,l shall anticipate them on one subject,which
I propose to defend. I have already heard
some grumbling, and propose to weaken the
blow which might follow, by being on the defen
sive beforehand. I allude to the new-fashioned
way w r e have of spelling onr names, by ending
all of them in ie. A'ow, Mr Editor, it is the
French way, and it sounds so much sweeter
than the old English style. Instead of saying
Martha, we now say Matie; Anna, Annie;
Susan, Suie; Margarette, Maggie. Every
fashion, everything pretty and tou-ish, comes
from France; and while the politics of this
country are getting Frenchie, I do not see any
impropriety in we harmless females eschewing
the English name given to us by our old fogy
ish fathers and mothers, and aking to the new
way.
For my part lam astonished that people
will name their children after their kinsfolk;
for in endeavoring to preserve the recollections
of their farthers, mothers, brothers, and
the friends of their early and latter ays,
they entirely overlook euphony. Thatwe, the
females, may be with the age, I propose we
shall call ourselves Youngn: AmcriciE.

A Strange Story.— There is a melancholy
tale in the memoir prefixed to the ‘Poems of
’ the late A J Hollingsworth.’ He was the il
legitimate son of a lady standing well in the
world, by whom he was committed (at birth)
to a nurse whose name he took His mother
never acknowledged him, never appears to have
seen him. When he was old enough to pass
out of the hand of the woman whom he was
taught to regard as his parent, he was confi
dentially entrusted to the clergyman who is
now writer of his memoir, by whom he was
taught, and also inculcated with a taste for An
glo-Saxon. At the age of fifteen, young Hol
lingsworth began to write verse. Before the
age of 20 he began to feel the mystery of his
position in the world, and to make fruitless,
impatient inquiries of his tutor as to his ‘uncle’
who was said to be the paymaster ou his ac
count. At the age of 20 he become a lover,
was accepted, and because the tutor could say
nothing whatever of his family connections, lie
was spurned as a bastard by the parents of his
mistress. He then rebelled against society,
and obtaining thro’ the tutor money from the
unknown mother, went abroad and travelled
during the rest of his life up and down the
world learning strange languages, studying
strange ways, writing strange verse, and com
ing home every three or four years, to get a
fresh supply of money—through the tutor—to i
spend a few weeks in wandering near the!
abode of his lost mistress, and to set off again, j
In 1853 lie set off in this manner for Niagara, !
taking passage in the Isaac Wright among the j
common emigrants. But the Isaac Wright
struck on a rock, and returned a wreck into !
Mersey, cholera having broken out on board,
and 47 passengers having been thrown over
board before the ship had regained Liverpool.
Hollingsworth was one of those who did not j
return. He perished at the age of 35. —Ex.
Shocking Occurre ce.- Two worsen eaten
by Wovles. Our pen has selaon had to record
amore heart-rending eireuins mice than we are
about to relate. Some ten days ..go, in the
Northern extremity of the township of Morn
ington, two females went out in the evening in
searcli of their cows, and not returning that
night, search was made in the morning when
their skeletons were only to be found their flesh
having been Uvourcd by the wolves. W r e are
yet unabL to record the particulars—the sad
outlines only having as yet reached us. Our
informant also states that a man in that locali
ty lias been missing for the last ten days. No
traces of him can be found whatever, and fears
are intertained that he met the same lamenta
ble fate as the unfortunate women.
The woives were never before known to be
so numerous or so ravenous as they are this
season in this section of the country. It is re
garded as unsafe to be alone on the public high
ways after dark. Reports are reaching us al
most every week of some of their ravages thro’
the country. Almost every body has been vis
ited by them, and mischief done to a greater or
less extent.
A farmer in North Eastborpe had thirty
sheep killed in one single night by then. They
: drove them, to the barn yard, and killed them
; there. A few nights previous they killed 12
belonging to the same man.
Bears are numerous and remarkably saucy.
A Mr. Bonnet of- Morning-ton, was attacked
a short time ago, in his own field, a little after
dark, by an old bear with three cubs. He fought
her off till some of the neighbors came to his
relief. An immense one was killed in Morning
ton a few days ago. —Dumfries Canada West)

Extraordinary Balloon Ascension. —The j
ascension of Mods, Godard and four others in
a balloon, on Thursday afternoon, was a grand
affair. About 6 o’clock the party descended on
the farm of Mr. Carter, near Chester Creek.—
There they took supper, the balloon being se
cured meantime. After this they resumed their
aerial jonrney, and again descended a few miles
further on, where they were entertained at the j
house of Mr. Felton, of the Baltimore Railroad
Company. Alter leaving Mr. Felton’s, it was
found that the balloon had lost much gas, and
that it was consequently unable to take up all
the excursionists. Messrs. Hewlings and Butch
er accordingly remained on terra Jinna, while
their companions again ascended, and finally
came down at Northeast, Md., at 10 o’clock,
at night. They returned to the city yesterday,
delighted with their trip.
The balloon was at times over Wilmington
and Norristown, 40 miles apart, and it crossed
the Delaware and the Seuylkill rivers more
than once during its journey. It is believed
that the balloon reached the height of 14,000
feet above the earth, and that it performed a
journey of GO miles. At Wilmington, M.. Go
dard descended sufficiently low to converse with
a number of citizens of that place. He again
ascended, and came down along the road and
shook hands with several astonished individu
als. The passengers on this novel excursion,
■ say the sight from their lofty position was the
most magniiieent that can be imagined. This
was particularly so to those who were up just
as the moon began to rise and tip hill and val
ley with her silvery beams. One of the pecu
liarities of this night ride, was the remarkable
echo at the height of some 10,000 feet. M.
Godard sang a song, and each verse was as dis
| tinctiy sung by an echo as sweet and melodious
;as the voice which uttered the words 1 At
this altitude could also be heard the barking of
dogs and even the cackling of chickens.—Balt

A Broken Heart.— ‘Did he strike you ?’
asked the. judge in Cincinnati of a witness wiio
had testified that her husband abused her,
‘No, sir/ replied the modest and delicate
looking woman, die has never struck me, tho’
he has often threatened to do it. He /abuses
me, and lam obliged to flee from his pre
sence.’
‘Did he break any of the furniture ?’ asked the
Court.
‘No, sir/responded the witness, as a tear
dropped from her eye, and she placed her hand
on her bosom. ‘No sir, he did not break the
furniture, but he has frequently threatened to*
break my heart, and he is doing it sir.’
Poor woman I she evidently spoke the truth
The bloated monster who stood beside her,
though he had once solemnly promised to love
and protect her, is now her bitter persecutor,
her sorest trouble. No doubt he once loved
her. No doubt but that one time he would j
rather have died than cause a bitter tear to j
start from her soft blue eyes; but intemperance I
has unmanned , brutalized him, and he is now I
breaking her heart. Heaven help the drunk- ;

He is very courageous, and never leaves home
unless he moves, in which case it goes some

was brought to this country much against his

Mrs. Hartley, No 119, Suffolk Street, writes us that she
lias been troubled with worms for some 3 years, and that
she used one vial of Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermi
fuge, prepared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, Pa., which
brought away over 50 large worms. Her usual good health
immediately returned.
Mrs.Quigby, No 182, Essex Street, New York, under date
of Nov. 23,1852, writes us that she had a child which had
been unwell for better than two months. She procured a
bottle of M’Lane’s Vermifuge, and administered it. The
child passed a large quantity of worms, and in a few days
was as hearty as ever it had been. Parents, with such tes
timony before them, should not hesitate when there is any
reason to suspect worms, and lose no time in procuring and
administering Dr. M'Lane’s Vermifuge. It never fails, and
is perfectly safe.
