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. Ail Impatient Juryman. 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. From the Viator. 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. Nettie. 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) Rrf 15 Ik. 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 ! more Sun. 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.

The cause is at tributed to a desire, on the part of both, to control the electoral ticket in opposition to the Democracy.

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.
