The following is part Of a letter from " asn!ns.

men. who went to reap the harvest OF %laare's,
care not, I suppose, how many seeds o'
war are sowu; but for the sake OF humanity
it is devoutly to be wished, that the mani! em'
p,oyment of agriculture. and the humanisins
benefits of Commerce, would supersede the
waste of war aud rage Of conquest, that the
swords might be turned into ploughshares, the
spears into pruning hooks, and. as the scripture
expresses II, the nations learn war no more"
The New York Gazette thus whimsicaily Illus
trates the mode bv which certain jurymen try the
cases submitted to their decision, without trying
either their consciences or their patience:
..Some dozen wears ago, the following iac's
came under our immediate observation. a
Young man, belonging to one Of the most fespecta'
Bile families in New Hampshire, presented a cheek
to the Exeter Bank, it W. recollect right, tor
$3.50. The cashier was absent, and his duties
we re perfurmed by deputy. The deputy paiu
the check, not in notes Of $50 each. but IN
notes Of $500. When the cashier returned, the
mistake was discovered, and a suit brought Tor
the recovery Of the amount paid over and ABOVE
the face Of the check, viz: S235O. IL was
proved, plainly. to the court, that the recipient
Of the money knew that he was receiving al the
counter, more than was his due. The case was ar
eued by the Hon, Jeremiah Smith and the Hon.
Jeremiah Mason, IN behalf of the bank, OF which
the TURNER gentleman was President. The jury
retired after a fatiguing trial late in the evening
There arose among the jury some points OF con-
~troversy, which continued Til near daylight next
morning. One Of the jury, on retiring to the
room, told his fellows that his mind was made
up, and when they had agreed, they might call
on him, who was then betaking himself to sleep.
When the eleven had agreed, they awoke the
sleeper, and told him the result Of their delibera-
ijons. This was contrary 20 his notions, aud ne
renIied as follows:-"I made up my mind long
apo-I believe the bank is best abie to lose The
money. but there's no standing out against the
whole Of you"

had repeatedly offered 10 wed her. She, IN the
meantime however, had favored a rival sutton, a
highly respectable citizen Of Bordentown, and it be-
came rulnored that ere long they would be united
This was too much for tho unior innate Clough

She fell lato his arms, and was thus carried int

On examination, il was found that the weapon
