FROM THE GENEVA PALLADIUM.
WARNING TO HUSBANDS.

Last week the citizens of this village
were gratified with an act of summary
Justice. A farmer IN this town, in easy
circumstances, infatuated and seduced
by the afLurementS of a woman of dis
gushing appearance and abandoned cha
racter, by The name OF Elizabeth Nj Clure,
actually turned his vile and children out
OF his house to give room for his dull
Gina. The poor woman who was pat
tern Of industry, and her children, were
humanely taken under the protection of
her husbands relations, she having none
in this part Of the country. Information
was given to the magistrates, who, on
examination Of the affair, found that he
had absented himself from his wife, and
thereby violated the law. They directed
the ovcrseers of the poor to enforce the
I'D section Of the " act for the relief and
settlement OF the poor,' by taking and
seizing the goods and cha,tels, and to let
ont and receive the annual rents and pro-
fits of the land and tenements of this I'M
faithful husband for the benefit Of his
wife and children.
This was duly performed, and the
statute properly enforced the same day
by the overseer; and on his application
to the justices, the alluring dulcna who
had gained no settlement in the town,
was brought up for examination as to her
last place of residence. She refused to
give the magistrates any satisfaction Oh
that point or respecting her infant, which
is supposed to be the elicit offspring Of
the farmer. She continued obstinate
for long time, and refused to answer
any question, Tor which she was about to
be committed, but MIR. Justice Dox hay
ing convicted her as disorderly person,
she was committed to the county gaol for
sixty days at hard labor.

HYPOCHONDRIA CURED.

The wife of a respectable farmer hav-
ing suffered much from this disease, fan
cied that she should die and often as
sembled her friends around her bed TO
witness her closing scene. After re-
peated false alarms, they became con-
vinced that she labored under a disease
of the mind, and advised her husband to
favor her belief about dying.-Not long
afterwards she was again attacked with
her old disease, and posted off boy to
the corn6eld for her husband to come
and see her die. The husband fastened
to her bedside, where he found her ap-
parently in the last stages of life. She
informed him, that in one hour her soul
would wing its way to the mansions
above, and before her death, she wished
to know what he would do with the
children, when her care of them should
be at an end. A thought struck him to
try the power OF vexatlon; he told her,
therefore, with great apparent serious
ness, that his thoughts had been very
anxiously employed on the subject, but
at length he came to the resolution, for
the sake of the dear lnnocents, which ne
trusted would set her mind at rest Oh
their account, i'll short he had resolved,
as soon after her death as decency would
permit, to marry Molly Brown, Gan old
maid TO whom she had a peculiar dis
like.) This was too much--the good
mother instantly jumped up, and swore
Molly Brown should never be step
mother for her children. A complete
cure took place, and the image Of Molly
Brown never fails to check the least
symptom Of relapse. Gatlia Gazette.

SAD ACCIDENT,

On Tuesday, the 9th August, Mr.
John Cornwell Smith, who resides in
Steuben county, N. Y. accidentally shot
his wife. The following particulars
were related by MIR. Smith himself.
On Monday morning the 7th, he dis
covered some deer in the meadow adj
joining his house, and ON Tuesday morn
ing ne arose very early with view Of
endeaycring 10 kill them, but it heiae,
yet dark he went to bed again, some
time alter he got up second time, and
from his door saw a deer feeding, he
Immediately took down his rife, but as
II was rather dark to shoot with certain-
ty, he waited few minutes In the
mean TING he prepared his piece by
fresh printing; and at the instant he was
rising 10 go to the door to shoot the deer,
his rifle accidentally slipped from his
hands, and endeavoring to recover it his
right hand struck the cock, when it went
off, and the whole contents passed
through the left shoulder and head ofh
wife, who lay sleeping in the bed with
her child of about eleven months old, in
her arms which was preserved from the
fate OF its mother, .AeE- York hafcr.

not forbear to congratulate the public Oh
the discovery of a specific remedy, for
malady, which was supposed to be in
durable, and with thousands of others to
express our gratitude to Mr.. Coleman
for his interchangeable exertions in the
cause Of benevolence and humanity.
The Commercial Advertiser suggests
to Mr.. Coleman the propriety of giving
drawing of the scull cap. If we mistake
not, he did give one last year, which was
transplanted into many of the papers.
No physician ought to be ignorant of
this plant, or to neglect to lay in suff1-
cient store of it for use, while it may
be procured. The greatest desideratum
appears to be a manual comprising a
drawing and description of the plant
a concise, accurate description of hydro
phobia-and we'll digested treatise on

Permit me to hint, that it is probable
many great discoveries are yet to be
made in this hemisphere, and that much
has escaped the most curious observers
in the Pacific Ocean. Should the gov
ernmcnt of the United States equip and
commission a vessel with suitable per-
sons for voyage of discovery to this
quarter of the world, think that the
government and nation would be amply
rewarded by the acquisition of know
ledge, in addition to the conscious salts
faction, arising from having patronised
and promoted laudable intelligence, adj
venture, and enterprise.
Perhaps new sources of wealth, hap
piness, power, and revenue, would be
disclosed, and science itself be benefited
thereby. The land lately discovered
lies in the track of vessels bound into and
out of the Pacific Ocean.
With respect, have the honor to be,
sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
