ANTICIPATING DEATH.—Miss Higgins, whO was
lately summoned before the magistrates at Limerick, for

A FINE OLD bum GENTLEMAN;—The Dublin Free-
man says, "Owen Duffy, of Monaghan county,: is .122
years old. When 116 he lost his second wife, and subse-
quently married a third, by whom he had a song and a
daughter. His youngest son is two years old ; his eldest
90. He still retains, in much vigour, his mental and cor-
poreal faculties, and frequently walks to the county town
a distance of eight miles." ,
THERE is no truer notion of our nature than that which
gives fire to the boldest, and boldness to the most timid,
in the cause, not of ourselves, but of our affections,. but
it is a fire at which every hand that kindles it trembles.

AT THE BALL, the other night, we observed a lady
cup3ing a particular seat, which we had seen her a

pying on a former occasion. "Do you own that seat?"
we inquired. " Oh, no, " she wittily replied, "I am only
a squatter on it !"—American Courier.

A Smanw lfzsrazr.—A Dutchman, 'the other day
reading an account of a meeting, came to the words,:“the
meeting then dissolved. " He could not define the mean-
ing of tile latter, so he referred to his dictionary, and, felt
satisfied. :In a few minutes a friend came in, when Hoag
said, " Dey must have werry hot wedder dere in New-
York. I ret an agonnt of a meeting vere all the peoples
had melted away.."

vency business, and a few general cases possessed of no

by Mr:
Evans on the ground that on a former hearing .he

Final order granted.—Henry Thomas and George Francis
also obtained their final order.—Adam Patterson, -of Staf-
