live. On being asked how much mon ey
he had received, he replied that he bad
received no more than the rest of the
Jury. Mr.. Dunn's wife found sum of
money which she could not tell how or
where he received. The deceased has
left large family of children. 1t is
currently reported that Judge Moore,
who presided at the trial, also received
a large sum of money from Hook; but
this, by some, is not believed. Hook,
since his trial, appears naughty and i'm
pudent. We should not be surprised
if the efusion of blood did not stop

The New York Commercial Advert
ser states the following anecdote of CT
tizen Crandevile while on his passage
in the steam boat from Philadelphia to
New York. Citizen Grandeville is the
agent of the Haytien government, who
has come here to make arrangements
for the emigration to Hayti of some of
our colored population.
"Being seated at table, Citizen
Grandeville was rudely spoken to by
lieutenant from the south, but took no
notice of him until he was addressed in
more public and insulting manner
Upon this he Immediately arose and OBJ
served, that, when in his own country,
it was his province to take into custody
those Haytia who insulted strangers
He then in a very handsome manner "a
pologized to the company by remark
ing, that he regretted having broken the
rules of the country, as it respected
propriety and good breeding, and there
upon left the table. Eighteen of the pas
sengers rose simultaneously, and order
ed another table TO be spread, which
being done, Citizen G. was invited to
dine with them, and the lieutenant left
at the first table alone! He, however,
much to his credit, sent an apology to
Mr.. G. to which the latter replied-"I

marble" This answer would have done
credit to Napoleon. 1t is sufficient to
say, that he was treated with marked
attention during the remainder of the
day."
A large dog, raving with hydra
phobea, being followed by compa
ny of boys, suddenly plunged down
the cellar steps~of the house of Mr. j.
Cheesman, No. 100, Lombardy ST.
The lady ofthe house with her infant
child on her arm, perceiving his ap-
proach rushed to pantry, and had
just time to close door upon herself
and babe. The furious animal made
his way through the kitchen and cellar,
swapping at every thing that obstruc

window, and from her place of re-
fuge besought some, of the mob who
had collected around the cellar door,
to come to her assistance; but none
had sufficient courage, until lad "a

feet. Having made moose in rope,

Dragging the dog after him, he made
