At the late Circnit cosrt, for Ca

Moody vs. Elijah Baker, excited Pc
cuiisr interest. Tie Cayuga RePub-
lican says, it concerned the character
Of the young lady, which had been clam
dered under peculiar eircunstances.--
Special damages were laid in thu loss
of marriage between the plaintiff and
the son of the defendant. After long
investigation, during which the defen.
dant made 20 attempts to prove the
truth of tho words lard, the jury found
a verdict for tho plaintiff for one thou
sand, four hundred and fifty dollars,
and costa fair warning to slanderers.

In this Borough, on Monday last, aged II
years, WILLIAM v. ROBINSON, son Of
Vincent Robinson, after short, but painful
illness. This is an affecting dispensation
of Providence, to the parents and friends
of this excellent youth, who discharged the
duties devolving on him with fidelity and
promptitude that would have reflected ho-
nor on ripper years, and whose prospects in
life were as bright as an honest heart, and
an amable disposition, united with perseve..
ring industry could make them.
This instance of mortality furnishes an
other, in addition to the innumerable proofs
already given, of the truth of the scriptural
declaration, " In the midst of life we are in
death." But few days have elapsed since
the rose of health bloomed upon his check
and in the pride and gaiety of youth, he mov-
ed before his friends:-But short as was the
period, it has been sufficient to chase away
the bloom of health and the gaiety of youth
and has brought in their stead, the palcness
of death, and the stiffness of the tomb-it
has transferred the residence ofthe soul from
its tenement of clay to the bosom of its Ma
ker and its God. *f*

FRAUD IN LEAD.

We saw at the Shot Tower yesterday a
parcel Of pig lead, in which it is evident a
deliberate fraud has been practized. The
centre Of many of the pigs containing a
large portion of brittle, heavy dross ore, a.
round which good lead was artfully cast.
for the purpose of hiding the imposition.
Some of the pigs, however, were so slightly
covered that they were easily broken--and
upon being melted it was found that the diff
ference between the real and ostcnsblc
weight of pure lead was considerable, and a
proportionate loss encountered. The lead
came from New York, and is without the
usual brand or mark. Although there is,
perhaps, no direct clue to discovery, it is
hoped that the editors of the papers at New
Orleans will copy this paragraph, with a
view to excite investigation among the ship
pers of the article there, and check the rcpe-
tition of fraud, calculated to impair the
confidence of consumers in the quality ofthe
lead exported from that port. american.

SINGULAR LAW CASE.

A man by the name of Smith, cut off the
ears of one Taylor, in Nassau, New Provi-
dence; he was tried and convicted under
the statute of Mayhem, which is capital
offence an arrest of judgment was moved,
on the ground that the ear was not a "mem-
Der Of the body, as referred to in the stat
ute"
The Court took week to consider, and
gave learned opinion, showing clearly that
the eye was member of the body, and in
citing authorities, the following were refer
red to from St. Paul, in his first epistle to
Corinthians
IA. For the body is not one member, but
many.
IS. If the foot shall say, because am not
the hand, am not of the body is it there
fore not of the body?
16. And If the ear shall say, because am
not the eye, am not of the body it is not
therefore of the body?
II. If the whole body were an eye, where
were the hearing? If the whole were hear
ing, where were the smelling?
l8. But now hath God set the members
every one OF them to the body, as it hath
pleased him.
Scntenc of death was then solemnly pro-
nounced by the Court.
