HAMBURG MAIL.

FROM THE GALICIA FRONTIER, MARCH 19.—The arrests
in Poland and Galicia still continue. Count Potolucki and
his family have just been taken by General Armes to Cracow
he is said to have been one of the most zealous adherents of
the insurrection, and it is reported that on his estate of Bo-
brok, in the territory of Cracow, a lime-kiln was found,
which was converted into a manufactory for arms, in which
there was a considerable stock of weapons of every kind,
with scythes and pikes. His request to remain under the
protection of Russia was refused, because this was on!I
granted to those who delivered themselves up with arms 111
their hands, whereas those who came clandestinely into the
country to seek for protection were given up to the militarl
tribunal at Cracow.

MARCH 20.—The melancholy fruits of the insurrection,
which, if not occasioned, was powerfully supported by tllB
aristocracy and part of the clergy in Galicia, begin already
to appear in all their frightful consequences, according to the
accounts from Rozeszow. The peasants come in bands to
the tribunal of the Circle, and demand the reward of their
heroic defence, as they call it, of the throne and the monarch'',
Their modest requests are confined to the abolition
of the Corvees, the division of the estates of the nobles /kV
have been killed and taken prisoners, of which they claim the
half, the abolition of the monopoly of salt and tobacco, ani
exemption from military services. It may be conceive.,
with what astonishment the governor listened to these bold
demands. It seems that this state of things has given occe:
sion to some precautionary measures; for these last
two days all courriers and diligences arrive at the frontiers
with a military escort. We leave it to the statesmen of AO'
tria to settle the question of this emancipation of the peasailo,
which would change the whole Austrian system of Govere-
ment. The most melancholy is, that it is now difficult t°
gain the confidence of the peasants. Thel priests and the
nobles have no influence over them, and the officers of
Circles meet with no attention to their exhortations. The
Bishop of Cracow has returned to his flock.
GALICIAN FRONTIERS, MARCH 21.—The accounts front
Galicia are more favourable. Tranquillity is restored. The
organisation of the public authorities, in those places where
the justice and police officers of the nobles had been broken
up, proceeds with tolerable rapidity; and it is hoped that the
praiseworthy activity of the high imperial authoritie,g,
will soon effect what is necessary. The country
has of course sustained a severe shock, and years may pO,:
More it entirely recovers, which is the more to be regretted'
as Galicia has of late made considerable improvement;:
Thanks to the regulations of the Paris propagandi, which
had forbidden its partisans to sell corn, that the revelutioli,
at least immediately after it broke out, might not be
want it is not likely that there will be any great
scarcity in the country, because large stores of pro',
visions have been discovered on most of the estates, !W."
others are found every day. On the whole about fifty emir,
saries of foreign Polish committees have been partly Ville
'
and partly taken prisoners. The number of insurgents net
subject to judicial inquiry may amount to 2,000 in Galicie
alone, of whom the least guilty will probably be soon
dismissed. tin the whole, as the proceedings are concellY,
ing facts and not plans of conspiracy, they will proceeu
rapidly, and probably be terminated in a few months. The
roads are everywhere secure, and remittances of money are
again forwarded by the Post-office to Galicia.
The Prussian resident at Cracow has received instructiae
rom Berlin to co-operate, to the utmost of its power, in the
restoration of the Senate of Cracow.—.hamburg P apern

COTTON CULTIVATION IN INDIA'

(From the Bombay Times.)
The publication, in our pap, r of the ith instant, 0
the epistle of our correspondent, " Mr. John Thomas'
broker," together with the letter of " Indophilus,"t°
which he referred, has led to our being favoured wit/
the subjoined interesting communication, descriptive
the experiments in cotton cultivation at Dharwar. The
information given as to the efforts of the Ryots to el:
tend the growth of the exotic plant, is in the highest
degree satisfactory, and goes far to prove that the idea
so generally entertained as to the apathy of natiio
agriculturists, and their aversion to innovation, is, if not
groundless, at least of far more limited application than
parties have hitherto believed. We trust that MP
Miller will take an early opportunity of sending us
.10
account of the successful experiments with the saw-gift'
to which he alludes in the concluding paragraph of laiS
letter.
" Tu the editor of the Bombay Times and Journal

Commerce,

" Sir,--In the letter on the subject of ' cotton culture
in India,' republished from the London Times in yot
issue on the 7th instant, Indophilus has, as you hale
suggested, somewhat exaggerated' regarding the oda'
of the New Orleans cotton planted in Dharwar. TO
is, however, confined to his figures: the main inference'
of the decided success attained, and the important fact
that the culture is increasing and has been taken up IV
the natives,' is fully correct, and will be satisfe.ctorg
shown, I doubt not, by an exposition of the real state e'
the case, which, with your permission, I will here Or°
for the information of your readers.
The experiment was started at Dharwar in the 003°
mer of 1843. That season there was about 600 acres °f
New Orleans cotton sown, but not more than 300 acre'
cultivated ; the other moiety, owing to the unavoidable
absence of the gentleman who bad it planted, was al',
lowed to run to waste, and the little it produced was nst
taken into the estimate of the season's out-turn. Of
300 acres cultivated, 80 acres were in the Governmew
farm at Koosghul ; the rest was planted by the 11)Tt5'
A portion of the produce of the latter was sent to Chen
/
and realiied 7 tales 2 macs per picul, the highest pric.
then ruling. Another portion was shipped to Liverpool'
and brought aid. per pound last May. In 1844 there were
r
sown and cultivated about 2,100 acres-225 acres in tto
Government farms, and the rest by the Ryots.
produce, about 245 bales, is partly in Borobk
and partly on the way there; and will, I doubt 11°1;
shortly be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce ~
its opinion. In 1845, we had seed enough to Plej,:o
17,000 acres, of which upwards of 10,000 acres bfit,s
been planted. The whole would have been sown 1,
for the almost total want of rain throughout the north
eastern part of the district, and one entire talooka
the south. Of this quantity, 900 acres, or tbereabotP"

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
Introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
lington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma
tale! itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.

deaveurs made by many persons to impose a spurious article for !heir
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention if the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes
real appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, fir their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following

and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
.Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-

public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 3.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
CAINES V. SMITH.
BREACH or PROMISE or Manninoz.—This was an action
for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Sergeant King
lake and Mr. Fitzherbert appeared for the plaintiff'. Mr.
Cockburn and Mr. Ball conducted the defence.
Mr. Fitzherbert having opened the pleadings, Mr. Sergeant
Kinglake stated the case to the jury.
Robert Wilson—l am master of the union house at Cerne,
and was so in 1844, in which year an election of a school-
mistress took place. There were five or six candidates, and
Miss Caines was elected. She came at Christmas, 1841, and
lived at the union house. I have known the defendant three
or four years. In 1842 he was butler to Sir Henry Digby,
of 3linterne House, and afterwards of his son, Mr. Digby.
He visited my house, and saw Miss Caines there before 1843.
In that year he visited her regularly. Miss Caines' parents
live at Queen Camel, in Somersetshire. I received a letter
from Mary Caines, and in consequence I communicated to
Smith that Mr. and Mrs. Caines were in great distress. He
replied that he was very sorry, and if her friends would
advance some money, he would add 101. to it in their aid. He
afterwards expressed a desire to go to Queen Camel, to ask
the parents' consent to keep company with her. She ob-
tained leave of absence to go, and they went together. She
again went about six months after. On both occasions she
went early in the morning, and returned the same night.
On the occasion of the defendant leaving Mr. Digby's service,
I had some conversation with him, and he said he intended
to marry Miss Caines. He added that lie would take a public-
house, and could manage to raise 1.0001. I saw him in the
latter part of August, when he went into our kitchen to take
leave of her. When lie came out he bad a handkerchief up
to his face and had been crying. Miss Caines afterwards left
the union-house in November, 1844, because she was preg-
nant. I -a-Iways considered him as her future husband.
Cross examined by Mr. Cooxnunw—Miss Caines's duties
were to see that the children were washed and properly
dr •ssed. Her salary was 121. a year, with rations.
Re-examined—l never heard of defendant's having courted
any person but Miss Caines until after his marriage.
John Foot—l am a farmer living at Glanville Wotton,
nearn Come. Mr. and Mrs. Caines have lately been living
at Queen Camel. Formerly they had a large farm. They
have seven children alive, some older and one younger than
Mary Caines. I was a guardian of the Cerne union, and
considered the situation of schoolmistress a desirable one for
her. I knew the defendant Smith. I heard of an intimacy
between him and Miss Caines. I afterwards met Smith, and
had some conversation with him. I said her friends were
very poor, but she was very well satisfied with her place, and
I hoped he would not make her dissatisfied with it, and then
act dishonourably by her. He replied that it was his inten-
tion to act honourably by her. I know she has had a child,
but I do not remember when it was.
Cross-examined—The child is rather more than a year old.
I think it was born in March, 1845.
. At this stage of the case the Court adjourned, and the case
was resumed on Saturday morning.
Mr. COCKBURN then stated that it had been agreed between
the parties to take a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001.
A verdict was then taken accordingly.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
BURGLARY —Benjamin Ashford, 38, and William Urledge,
18, were charged with burglariously breaking the dwelling-
house of Richard Leir, Esq., and stealing 12 silver spoons,
22 silver forks, and other property, at Lidchett.
Mr. Stone conducted the prosecution.
Thomas George Perry stated that he was a servant of the
prbsecutor. On the 30th of January his master's house was
properly secured at night. That he got up about six o'clock
next morning, and found that the house had been broken
open. Went to his master's room and could not get in, as
two chairs were placed against the door. On getting in he
saw a hole in the wall, near the window, large enough to let
a person in. There was a candle burning on the table. The
window was thrown up. He then missed his master's
cellaret, a sugar canister, and many other things were also
gone. He afterwards went into a field, about 100 yards from
the house, and found his master's cellaret.
R. L. Leir, Esq., stated, that on the night in question he
lost some plate.
Henry Edglow—Knows the prisoner Orledge. Saw him
at Shepton. Prisoner Orledge asked him if he wanted to buy
anything. ' He said he could put a pound or two in witness's
pocket. He offered him some plate, for which he asked 255.
Witness bought it for 1/. Sent word to a policeman of what
he had done. Afterwards saw both the prisoners together
at Shepton-market. Orledge asked him to buy some more
plate. Agreed to purchase. He then told witness that
Ashford had some plate to sell. Ashford showed him some
silver forks and spoons, and a watch. Gave him Is., and
promised to pay the remainder in a few days. Gave him the
spoons, &c., to Summers, a policeman. The prisoners were
taken into custody.
Abraham Buck, a policeman, of Wells, stated that from
inf wmation he had received he went to Shepton Mallet with
Summers. Went to the Ship Inn, where he saw Orledge and
the last witness together. He took Orledge into custody,
and on searching him found four tea-spoons on him, and near
where he had been sitting witness found eight silver forks.
Then took Edglovr, the last witness, into custody, and found
a watch on his person. He then went to Dichet, and at the
Bell Inn saw Ashford. Took him into custody, and made an
attempt to search him. Found inside the lining of his small
clothes some forks and spoons.
Mr. Leir was then called, and identified the property which
had been found on the prisoners.
Mr. Baron ROLFE having summed up,
Time jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
A former conviction having been proved against each of
them, Ashford was sentenced to be transported for fourteen
years, and Orledge for ten.

eountioitns. head
Prideaux defended the prisoner.
The main facts of this case, which were of a somewhat ex-

traordinary character, appeared
wentear-edfrom-the evidence to be as
follows
and earned :—The out into service by day,
her pbrriesaodnera, who
a a

uncle and aunt of the name of Francis,ser ant, lodged with an
rooms, a front parlour and a back parlour,
occupied two
10, Wellington-place, Bath, the differentinaa, house,l No.
which were let out to different lodgers. The back
of
was occupied by the prisoner, whilst Mr. and Mrs. parlour
and a young child, their daughter,' slept in the front '8
par-
lour. On Saturday morning, the 2d of Aegust, about
four o'clock, a man of the name of Bowles, who also occu-
pied apartments in this house, discovered in the privy a
new-born baby alive, his attention being attracted to the
child by a whining noise which it was malting. He lost no
time in alarming Mr. and Mrs. Francis and the other
inmates of the house, and in rescuing the child from its
perilous situation. A doctor was sent for, but the child
shortly afterwards died. The prisoner, when interrogated, at
first denied that it was her child; but she afterwards ad-
mitted it, and said, "I did not cry out here; when I threw
it down the privy I thought it was dead." The extraordi-
nary part of the case was, that she could not have got to the
privy without passing through the room in which Francis
and his wife were, and unlocking the door of their molt-,
which was kept locked, and which she must have locked
again on her return, without disturbing Mr. or Mrs. Francis.
With regard to the cause of death, Mr. ['ernes, a highly in-
telligent surgeon, swore to his belief that it was caused by
extravasation of blood upon the brain, and that this was
produced by a serious wound which had been inflicted upon
the head. On his cross-examination he denied that such a
wound could have been produced by the pressure of the head
against the pelvis during labour, but admitted that it might
have been produced by a fall, or some accidental violence un-
consciously inflicted by the mother during her suffering. He
also stated that a frequent result of extravasation of blood
upon the brain was to produce a suspension of animal power,

which might afterwards be followed by a temporary revival.
The case for the prosecution having teen concluded,
Mr. PrtDEAVX,• in a forcible address to the jury, com-
mented upon' the improbability of the girl having taken
down the child herself without awakening either of the
Francises; and further contended that even if they were
satisfied that she had done this, she ought to be acquitted,
as the fair presumption was that the injury had been pro-
duced accidentally, and that the extravasation of blood had
caused a temporary suspension of .the animal power, which
had led the poor girl to believe that the body was really dead.
Mr. Baron ROLFE then summed up the case to the jury,
and told them that they must not trite with their con-
sciences, but that• if they thought all the circumstances of
the case fairly consistent with innocence, they ought to ac-
quit the prisoner of the murder. He was then proceeding
to tell the jury that they might, nevertheless, if they
thought proper, convict her of concealing the birth of the
child, when
Mr. Pitinnatix reminded the Learned Judge that the sta-
tute which authorised this applied only to the concealment
of the dead body of an infant.
Mr. Baron ROLFE then said, that that was certainly so,
and told the jury that as the body in this case was found
alive, they must convict her of the murder, or acquit her
altogether.
The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
ASSAULT FROM JEALOUSY.—CaIeb Emery was indicted for
maliciously wounding John Townsend West, with intent to
murder him. There was also a count charging an intent to
maim, and a third count charging an intent to do grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. Stone and Mr. Edwards conducted the prosecution ;
Mr. Prideaux appeared for the defence.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the night of the
10th of February last a most outrageous assault had been
committed by the prisoner on the prosecutor, a surgeon, re-
sidir.g in Shepton Mallett. He had been knocked down and
most violently beaten about the head, where he had received
five severe wounds of a Very serious character. The prisoner
had subsequently stated that he had given the little doctor
such a pill that be would not want another in a hurry ; but
that he should not hive done- it if it had not been for Sal
Fownell.. This Sal Fownell had pointed out the doctor to
him upon their meeting him accidentally, when they were
walking together, and it was shortly after this that the as-
sault was committed. There was evidence to show that the
prisoner suspected the prosecutor of having been too intimate
with his wife.
Mr. PRIDEAUX addressed the jury for the prisoners, and
contended that the evidence showed that the attack could
not have been premeditated ; and that they ought, therefore,
to find the prisoner guilty of a common assault only.
The jury, however•, returned a verdict upon the third count
of Guilty of an intent to do grievous bodily harm.
There are two other indictments against the prisoner for
felonious assaults upon his wife—the one with intent to
murder her, and the other with intent to do her grievous
bodily harm ; but as these have not been inquired into., the
Learned Judge deferred passing sentence on the present
conviction.

IV ORTH E RN CI /I CUI T.—Liverpool, April 3.
CROWN COURT.-(Before Mr. Justice PArrasost.)
CIIARGE OF MURDER.— Sarah Swift, aged 19, was indicted
for the wilful murder of Elizabeth M'Gill, at Liverpool.
Mr. Drinkwater appeared as counsel for the prosecution,
and Mr. James defended the prisoner.
Harriet Robinson said, she is a single woman, lived in
Shaw's-alley, and knew the deceased, who is a girl of ill
fame. The prisoner is also one of that character. Recol-
lects being in Barber's public-house, where the deceased, the
prisoner, and several other girls were. There were sailors in
the dancing-room. Elizabeth M'Gill asked, " What do you
want there; why don't you go to your own house?" When
prisoner -replied, "Tliat so she could," and left the house
with Ann Kelly. Witness went out, awl When she returned
the beer-house was closed, about eleven o'clock. Met
Elizabeth M'Gill near Sparling-street. She was crying, but
not drunk. Elizabeth M'Gill struck Sarah Swift, who said
we had better go home before we got into cole-hole. The
prisoner, who had a knife, ran at her. Sarah Swift said to
Nancy Allen, who was present, that she would serve witness
in the same way. Gave prisoner in charge to a policeman,
who brought the prisoner and Nancy Allen to the house.
Knew the knife, and pointed out the place where the knife
was thrown away after the perpetration of the act. The knife
was open, and covered with blood.
Cross-examined—ls about 22 years of age, and leading her
present life about six months. Had lived in Liverpool six
years. but. not with her father for the last six months.
Sarah Munro—Witness refused to kiss the book, but the
Judge threatened to send her to prison direct. She then
complied, and was then admonished by his Lordship to tell
the truth. She spoke to some of the facts on the case,
and then &kited, and it was deemed necessary to remove
her.
Ann Power—Lives iu Shaw's alley, and remembers the
19th of December. She heard the prisoner say she " would
serve out deceased in some dark corner." It was about ten
minutes past twelve when she met deceased in Mason-
street. There were two foreigners with her, and shortly
after she heard the deceased cry out " murder." She (wit-
ness) ran up, and the foreigners, who held up deceased,
went away. At this moment she did not perceive anything
was the matter with her. At the time deceased was
wounded there were several men and women near besides
the policeman.
In answer to a question by the jury, the witness stated
that the conversation at Barber's was carried on in the spirit
of anger.
Other witnesses were called, but their testimony was a
mere repetition of that already detailed.
John Bold Hyams—ls a surgeon, and was called in on the
morning of the-20th of-December-to-see deceased. He had
made a' post modem. examination, and the depth of the
wound was about three inches. It extended to the thorax,
and the knife which was submitted to his inspection would
cause such a wound. The wound. was about one inch and a
half wide, and deceased might have cried out " murder,"
but it was impossible, in his opinion, that she could have
lived more than half an hour.
After the summing up of the Learned Judge, the jury re-
tired for a short time, and on their return found a verdict
of Guilty of manslaughter.
Sentence, to be transported for life.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)

HUTCHINSON V. THE LANCASHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Attorney-General (Mr. Knowles). Air. Crompton, and
Mr. Aspland, were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Baines,
Mr. Martin, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. John Henderson, for the
defendants. •
This was an action brought by Mr. Hutchinson, a gentle-
man residing near Liverpool, but formerly living at Bury,
and arose out of an action tried at the last summer assizes, in
which the same parties were plaintiffs and defendants. On
that occasion a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, and
that verdict had been confirmed by the Court above. The
grounds of that action were the following:—The East Lan-
cashire, late the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale Railway
requiring a piece of land belonging to the plaintiff, had an
inquisition to assess the value of the property, and without
the explainp.laintifftogivingrequiring
ofChancery,without o
of his
land,notic e th thereof.
After this the Company took posses
notwith-
standing that they had notice to the contrary, and the plain-
tiff threatened them with a prosecution for penalties in case
they did. Mr. Hutchinson then'brought his action of eject-
ment, which was tried at the last summer assizes, for the
amount of money which had been awarded to him he not
choosing to apply to the Accountant-General. In this action
he was successful; and the Company taking the case before
the Court above, the finding of the Liverpool jury was con-
firmed. A writ of possession was then issued, and Mr.
Hutchinson again took possession of his land. The Company
then paid him the money awarded to him; and after he had
been in possession ten days the Company took possession of
the land. By two sections of the Bury and Rossendale Rail-i
way Act, a penalty of 25/. per day is imposed during such
time as they were wilfully and wrongfully in possession of
the land. These penalties amounted to 6,6001.
Witnesses were called, who proved the principal part of the
statements of the Learned Counsel; and the other portions
were made out by docutnentury evidence.
Mr. BAINES submitted that there was no question for the
consideration of the jury. According to the true construc-
tion of the Act of Parliament there must have been a wilful
taking possession..
His LORDSHIP said, that as the case at present stood, there
was nothing to explain their acts.
Mr. Kprowcas—lf they entered into possession bond fide,
I would submit that they are liable.
Mr. HENDERSON, for the defendants, said he would submit
that, under the 159th section of the Act, the payment of the
deposit relieved the company from the penalty.
Mr. BAINES then addressed the jury, contending that the
company throughout all their proceedings had been actuated
by the most honourable feeling towards the plaintiff, who,
on the contrary, had taken every means in his power to
throw every obstacle in the way of the railvray,company
taking possession of the land for the purpose of constructing
the railway, re'nsing to give any explanation of his title or
any matter at issue, and the company then did, with perfect
good faith, pay the money into the Court of Chancery, there
to await his making good his title, and when he had done
that, the company would have to pay the expense of
getting the money out of the hands of the Accountant-
General. When the Court above confirmed the decision of
the jury at the former assizes, Mr. Grundy, the solicitor to
the comf any, went to Liver.pool,. andt there offered Mr.

Mr. John Grundy, solicitor to the Company, was examined
at considerable length, and said that the course taken by the
company was adipted by the advice of counsel.
Upon this, his LORDSHIP asked the Attorney-General whe-
ther he could change the appearance of the fact ? and upon
the Learned Gentleman replying in the negative, his Lord-
ship ruled in favour of the defendants, leave being given to
the plaintiff to move the Court above.

AN INTERIOR IN THE BACK.

WOODS.

Mr. Willoughby looked at the western sun, which was
not far above the dense wall of trees that shut in the
small clearin4 ; then at the heavy clouds which ads
vanced from the north, threatening a stormy night ;
then sat his watch, and then at his note-book ; and,
after all, at his predicament—on the whole, an un-
pleasant prospect. Bat at this moment a female face-
showed itself at the door. Our traveller's memory
reverted at once to the testimony of Ledyard and
Mungo Park ; and he had also some floating and indis-
tinct poetical recollections of woman's being useful
when a man was in difficulties, though hard to
please at other times. Tne result of these reminis-
cences, which occupied a precious second, was, that
Mr. Willoughby dismounted, fastened his horse to the
fence, and advanced with a brave and determined air,
to throw himself upon female kindness and sympathy.
He naturally looked at the lady as he approached the
door, but she did not return the compliment. She
looked at the pigs, and talked to the children, and
Mr. Willoughby had time to observe that she was the
very duplicate of her husband ; as tall, as bony,
as ragged, and twice as cress-looking. " Mal-,
viny Jane 1" she exclaimed, in no dulcet
treble, "be done a-paddlin' in that 'ere water I

look at Sophrony, I guess 1" was 'the reply. " Why.
what's she a-doin' ?" " Well, I guess if you look, you'll
see 1" responded Miss Malvina, coolly, as she passed
into the house, leaving at every step a full impression
of her foot is the same black mud that covered her
sister from head. to foot. The latter was saluted wit.. 11

a ng reached the threshold, was obliged to set
about making the agreeable to the mama. And he
called up for the occasion all his politeness. " I believe
I must become an Intruder on your hospitality for the
night, madam," he began. The dame still looked at the
pigs. Mr. Willoughby tried again in less courtly phrase.
Will it be convenient for you to lodge me to-night,
ma'am ? I have been disappointed in my search for a
hunting. party whom I had engaged to meet, and the
night threatens a storm." I don't knot;

now for the first time taking a survey
comer ; " with my will, we'll lodge nobody." This wan
not very encouraging, but it was a poor night for the-
woods ; so our traveller preserved, and make so bold a
push for the door that the :lady was obliged to retreat
a little, he entered, and said he would await her hwe
band's coming. And in truth he could scarcely blame
the cool reception he had experienced, when be beheld
the state of affairs within those muddy precincts. The
room was large, but it swarmed with human beings. The
huge open fireplace, with its hearth of rough stone,
occupied nearly the whole of one end of the
apartment ; and near it stood a long cradle, containing
a pair of twins, who cried—a sort of hopeless
cry, as if they knew it would do no good, yet could
not help it. The schoolmaster (it was his week) sat
reading a tattered novel, and rocking the cradle ems,-
sionally, when the children cried too loud. Art old
grey-headed Indian was curiously croucheq, over a
large tub, shelling corn on the edge c a hoe ; but
he ceased his noisy emplofyme''' when he saw the
stranger, for no Indian wl,ll, ever willingly be seen
at work, though h.:, may be sometimes compelled,

mistress of the feast proceeded to turn a quantity of
smoking hot potatoes, addin.; afierwards a bowl of salt,
and another of pork fat, by courtesy denominated gravy;
plates and knives dropped in afterwards, at the discretion
of the company.— Western Clearings.
