MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

As an instance of commendable honesty and
generosity, we mention that lad, son of Mr.
Benjamin Tilden, of this city, was so fortunate
yesterday as to find wallet, containing sl100,
which had been lost by young man, son of
Mr.. Jacob Barstow. AS soon as the loss of the
latter became known to young Tilden, he re-
paired directly to Mr. Barstow, and restored
the wallet with its contents untouched. In re-
ward for his honesty, Mr.. B. presented young
Tilden with fifty dollars. Though we doubt
not there are many such sons, yet so excelent
example deserves to be made public, for the
influence it may have on others.

ORIGIEAL ANECDoTE. A musical fellow
lately travelling through Connecticut and Mas

taciturn set of fellows, and to amuse himself
he thrust his head out of the stage at every

brick yard, he sent forth his accustomed vocif-

handful of clay he was moulding, which COM
plotely masked the countenance Of the infer

METHOD OF Sailing Butter. Take sugar
one part, nitre one part, and clean strong salt
two parts, beat them well together and put by
the preparation for use; of which take one
ounce for every sixteen ounces of butter, and
mix it thoroughly with the butter, as soon as
it is freed from the buttermilk. Butter, sailed
in this manner, and put down in close tubs,
with little melted butter poured over the sur
face to fill up every vacancy before the top is
put on, will keep good for many years

Of Capt Timothy Monro, an nhabitant of
Canada, who was drowned in Niagara River

found in his pockets, have been identified by
his family, who have gone to Batavia to claim

JUDICIAL. The following decision, made at
the late Law Term Of the Supreme Judicial
Court at Plymouth, is copied from the Old
Colony Memorial.
JOHN Bradford VS. Thomas Randall
This was an action of Trespass for ENTERING
the plaintiff close, and taking away his cow,
The defendant pleaded, that at the time of the
supposed trespass, he was collector of taxes OF
" the First Universal Society in Plympton .
and that warrant under the hands and seals
OF the assessors of said society was committed
to him to levy and collect of the members a
certain tax-that the plaintiff was a member Of
said society, and refused TO pay, and the de-
fendant, as collector entered and distrained
him by his COW, which is the trespass com
planned of. The plaintiff replied, that warran,
under the hands and seals &c was not com.
mitted to the defendant. The parties agreed
that the warrant mentioned in the pleadings
was made out, and signed by the assessors, and
that while they were together a seal was put
in the usual place of sealing assessors war
rants, at the left hand on the top, and that the
warrant is otherwise in due form, except that
it concludes without adding the words, " and
our seals" and the only question was ON the
validity of the warrant. The plaintiffs coun.
sci urged, that assessors acting in a ministerial
and not Judicial capacity, must strictly PURSUE
their authority. But the Court decided III IA
vor of the validity of the warrant-they con.
sidered the same wafer or wax as susceptible O.
several impressions or seals, and as this wafer
was put on in presence of all, it might be con
sidered as the seal of each, and the omission o
the words above noticed, was not variance il
substance from the form of the statute judy
ment for the defendant.

FURTHER Disclosures. Philip s. Marllley
Esq has published an address to the public, de-
failing the particulars Of the transactions, SO
far as he was concerned in them, which gave
rise to the charges preferred by Gen Jackson
against Henry Clay. This address furnishes
further evidence that the whole affair was con-
fined to the friends of Gen Jackson, and that
the object of it was to induce Clay TO vote for
him. Markley declares that it was agreed, by
him and Gen. Jacksons other friends, that in
case of his election, they would Jointly use
their influence with him to have Clay appoint
ed Secretary of State, and such was to be the
public understanding that Buchanan urged
him to see Clay, and inform him that such was
their intention, and also that it was the desire
of General Jackson's friends, that Clay should
be his successor as President! We intend civ
ing some extracts next week
