".
TENHE undersigned, your humble petitioner,
IL states, that on the twenty second day of
December last, in the county aforesaid, she
was marriedto one Matthew c. Bowles, hoping
and fondly expecting happiness from their
matrimonial connection. But to her unuttcr-
able chagrin, the said Bowie since their in
terrnarrage as aforesaid, has been wasting and
squandering the property that he acquired
by his intermaTiage with your petitioner; and
he has taken from her, her bed, and left her
destitute of property, and in necessitous cir
cumstances, and threatens to take from her
what every little property she has, or may
have, and afirms that he married your pet-
toner for her property alone. Your petition
er further observes, that at the time of her
lntermarriage as aforesaid, she was in regard
to property capable Of living comfortably, and
that he was then worth nothing. She SAYS he
has now left her, and she knows not where
he IS. She alsostates, that at the aforesid time
of her intermalriage with the said BowIes, he,
said Bowles, had then another wife living in
Kentucky. Your petitioner therefore hunbly
prays this honorable court to decree her a
divorce from the bands of matrimony, entered
into as aforesaid, with the said Bowles; and
also make what other or further order or de-
cree may seem meet in the premises, And
your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever
pray. her

Those who prefer to have their own
wheat manufactured, can be accommo-

less than fifty bushels at time. The
public at large can receive, at my mill,
flour for wheat, and corn-meal for corn,
as far as practicable. The mill will &C.
morally be closed at sun set.
The subscriber has also for sale a
large quantity of ASH PLANK, the

half mile above the French village, be-
tween George Swaggart's and the sub

twelve and half cents per bushel, at
said coal bank, or twenty -five cents per

some state, repair the breaches in your
clothes-and love her home. Much hap
piness is is to be derived from domestic
disposition. Ifyou are so unfortunate as
to select one of a contrary description,
she will be source of unceasing trouble,
alteration, and expense.
AS the rolling stone gathers no moss,
SO rowing wife gathers no good, but will
be daily leading you into some company,
party amusement, and the like, which 1t
is the duty of every good wife to avoid.
Some amusements are requisite; Tor
it is true in every stage of life, that all
work and no play will make Jack dull
boy. These amusements however, should
be as sparingly enjoyed as health and a
proper regard to decorum will allow
for it is true that we cannot at all times
excuse ourselves from the pressing So
licitations of those around US. A young
man Just commencing business, should
naturally weigh those things, andremcm-
Der that if he do not lay up something
against rainy day now, he probably ne
yer will.
He may wish to indulge his new wife
in a thousand of the inviting pleasures
that surround him; but, if she be such
as he ought to have chosen, she will con-
slider that his purse will not allow it, and
sacrifice to his prosperity the momentary
enjoyment of sensual qualification.
Alas how many bestow no thought
on this. Ifthey can but crafty their own
ungovernable desires, the means are to
them unworthy of consideration. These
are elysian days they seem to say, and we
will enjoy them-when perhaps the mis-
Judging husband, although conscious that
he cannot support it, flatters himself she

dulges her, or worse than this, encour
ages her in these practices.

advocate, yet living, is said, in state Of
haziness, to have forgotten for which
party, in particular cause, he had been
retained; and, to the unutterable amaze
ment of the agent that had feed him,
and the absolute horror of the poor eli
ent behind, to have uttered long speech
exactly in the teeth of the interest he
had been hired to defend. Such was the
zeal of his eloquence, that no whispered
remonstrance from the rear-no Juggling
at the elbow, could stop him in medic
gurgite dicene, But just as he was about
to sit down, the trembling writer GATOR
ney) put slip of paper into his hands,
with these plain words" You hare tlead
for the zprong harty )" whereupon, with
an air of infinite composure, he resumed
the thread of his Grafton, saying, -" Such,
my Lord, is the statement which you
will probably hear from my brother on
the opposite side of this case. I shall
now beg leave, in very few words, TO
show your Lordship how utterly unten-
able are the principles, and how distort-
ed are the facts, upon which this very
specious statement has proceeded. -
And so he went once more over the same
ground, and did not take his seat until
he had most energetically refuted HIM
self from one end of his former pleading
to the other.

III the Hebrew language, we tender you our
grateful acknowledg ements Tor your inces-
SAINT assiduty and attention 1t does not be-
come US to speak of our own proficiency in
that ancient and interesting language but
we trust we may be permitted to state. that
we have received the fullest conviction of
your profound knowledge therein. and the
utility of the method which you pursue in
imparting that knowledge TO Others. No
doubt remains on our minds that your me-
thod, so perfectly systematized and SO hap
PLY accommodated to the operations OF the
human intellect, is, of all which have ever
come within our observation, the best calcu-
lated to convey instruction 10 every capacf-
ty, and in every department of literature g.
science. While its philosophical arrange
ment leads the mind, by regular graduation,
to the comprehension of what is taught, it
also affords such facilities as to lessen the la
Dor of study and greatly accelerate the at
tainment.
In presenting to you this voluntary testi-
monial of our entire satisfaction, we are ac-
tuated, only, by sense Of justice to your
merits and we beg you to accept It as the
spontaneous effusion OF our hearts,.
