 CONNECTICUT. A correspondent censures the mean, un- manly practice of making butt of old maids. The habit is an unequivocal sign of vulgar and ill-regulated mind, and is most offensive and revolting to every per son of feeling and delicacy. Many of these females who lead single lives have been n- fluenced in their choice by motives equal ly creditable to their judg dgment aud moral character. A woman may be amIable, accomplished, and admirably suited by nature and education to fulil the duties ot a wife and mother, and yet she may never have been seriously addressed by the nan for whom she could feel inc a,tachmen, and respect without which marriage is a state of insupportable thraltrom. l. is so
 much the fashion to look mainly to wealth
 in the choice of wife, that very many most excellent women are neglected, by men who are not aware that an amiable disposition and good principles, are the
 best dowry that woman can confer upon
 her husband.-London paper.
 Mayor of Boston.-Aftcr two unsuccessful
 attempts to choose a Mayor. the people ol
 Boston have at length elected the Hon. Har- r'son Gray Ot's' hy majority of more than
 14OO votes. Mr. Quincy, Mir. Amory, and several others, having declined being candj. dates, Mir. Otis was again nominated at a
 meeting of tue citizens generally, and having
 been induced to accept the nomination, was elected by the large majority above mention
 ed. The choice is honorable to the peopl. of Boston, and creditahle to the magnanimit, /, of those formerly hostile to Mir. Otis as a DO litician. So far as we are able to learn, tn, election is peculiarly gratifying to the public generaIIy-Mr. Otis being now generally re garded by men, even of former opposite DO ! lltlcaI feelings. as man whose talents. anc political consistency and independence. enti tie him to public confidence and honors.
 Mass YeOmGn. A curious memorial has been received b, the President of the Senate from MT Crane of Ohio, who calls himself the brother of ou, Saviour, and who sets forth that Inc IS descen
 ded lineally from David that he has made
 his appearance in this country for the purpose
 of resumng his temporal authority, while his
 brother. now living in Ohio. the real Christ,
 has appeared to call his people together. He
 calls upon Congress for an appropriation of
 ten or twelve thousand dollars per ann,m. to
 enable him to discharge his hig gh functions as
 temporal Governor of the world, and hopes that the members will each transnlit hlm a ten dollar note, and trank it. The madness
 of some men is Imaginable, but this mans IS shocking.-Washington Chron.
