tleman in question must feel:
we now seldom see those heads sill
vered with the frost of many winters those
furrowed cheeks VINO long life of practical

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
We learn that the cause OF Frederick A.
Tracy, OF this city, against Joshua B. Wood,
of Rhodc island, was tried for the second
fine in the circuit court Of the United
States at Providence, before his honor
Judge Story, at the term recently held
there and that the jury gave verdict for
the plaintiff for about five thousand seven
hundred doliors, one half of the amount
claimed. Ii will be recollected that about
year ago, there was loss ola quantity of
doubloons from the steam boat Connect
cut. Mr., Tracy delivered those doubloons
to Mr.. Wood, put up 10 two separate bags,
placed in an ordinary travelling 'aIlce, to
take on to Providence. Mr. Wood took
the yace on board the steam boat, aud
left it in an open birth while the boat was
lying at the whartia this city all one after
noon aud evening, and slept on board the
boat at night in different cabin from that
An which the doubioons Were left. In the
morning he discovered that one bag Of the
doabloons WAS gone, and after having made
this discovery, he left the vaIice, with the
remaining bag in It, lying on table in the
forward cabin, aad vent on deck for about
i've minutes, and returned, WIEN the Yalice
and the other bag Of gold were gone, and
have not yet been lound Mr. Try
brought this suit against Mr.. Wood ou .he
