S'ngalar instance cf Longepily.-A housebreaker in France was condemned in the early part of the last century, and nn- der peculiar circumstances, to the ga1leys for hundred years, and, strange 10 relate. this man recently made his appearance in hls own native province, at the advanced age of l2O he being about 20 years of age F'hen the sentence which which ooiideii1eti inn, io so dreadful punishment was passed. It may be easily conceived with what eager- ness and delight he flew, as soon as eman- clpated from the shackles which had en- thfalied him for an entire century, to breathe once more the cherished air of the scenes of infancy. Bouge, in the depart ment of Ain, was his native home: but time had so changed the aspect of the whole place, that he recognized it only by the old church of Brou, which was the only thing that had undergone no alteration. He had triumphed over laws, bondage, man, time-every thing. Not a relation had he left-not single beng could he hail as an acquaintance; yet he was rot without experiencing the homage and re- spect the French invariably pay old age.
 For himself. he had forgotten every thing connected with his early youth; even all recollection of the crime for which he had suffered was lost, or if at all remem- bored it was but as dreary vision of days long by. His family and connections were all dead-himself living proof of the clemency of heaven and the severity of man, regretting, perhaps, the very irons which had been familiar to him, and half wishing himself again among the wretch ed and suffering beings with whom his own fate had been so long associated-we!l might he be called the patriarch of burg lars. 4 few years since this extraordina- " long lived man was still in being and in health.

NEW JERSEY.

In this State the confident expections of the Wings have been disappointed. The whig party have gained strength since the last election, but not quite enough to carry their ticket. The Jackson Congress ticket has prevailed, 1t seems, by small majori- ty. Notwithstanding this, its asserted in the Philadelphia Iptelligencer that the whigs have carried niue counties out of fourteen, and that the whig gain in the State has been very great.
 The New York Commercial Advertiser says, the loss of the State is owing to the unfortunate sehism yet existing among the Quakers, in the lower part of the State. Mot until nine o'clock last night (contn- ues the Adyertiser) have we entertained a particle of doubt as to different result.o
The Arkansas advocate., 1834-11-14

We republished, (says the National Ban- aer), from the Lexington Ken Observer and Reporter, an interesting account of the imprisonment of the grand jury, and sev- eral members of the bar, for contempt at the last term of the Circuit Court for Fay ette county.
 From the statement, the conduct of the grand jury appears to have been highly re- prehensible. Judge 0wsley deserves great credit for this firm and salutary exercise of his discretionary authority. If courts of justice do not, with frmness, protect them- selves against insults, they will soon fall into contempt themselres.

RELATIVE INFLUENCE OF THE STATES. The single state of New York has a re- presentation in Congress equal to that of ten of the other states of the Union. Thus;
 New York 40.
 New Hampshire 6-yermont 5-Con- nectieut 6-Rhodc Island 2-Alabama 5-- Mississippi 2-Louisiana 3-IlIinois B. Missouri 2-New .Jersy 6--40.
 The four states, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, number as many rep #resentatives as the remaining nine States:
 Pennsylvania 28-V Virginia 2l--Ohio Kentucky l3-sl.
 Maine S--Massachusetts l2-N. Caro- lina l3-S. Carolina 9-Geergia g. Tennessee 13---Maryland s--indiana 7 Delaware 1--S0.
 Thus 1t will be seen, that five of the States have majority of one over the whole 34. ia representatives. and thus, too. it will be perceived how very important it is, in any contest for the Presidency to secure the vote of New fork.-.NorJoik Herald.

SOUTH CARoLINA.--From the New | ork Journal of Commerce we extract the fol- lowing details concerning the recent cleo tions in South Carolina.
 The elections in South Carolina, so far as received, show considerable gain in favor of the Union party. In Charleston the votes for Henry L. Pinckney, (Nulli- fer.l for Congress, were 1S32; for Alfred Haeer (Union) l24l. Notification ma iority, Al. For State Senator, General James Hamilton, (Nullifer, received 1873 votes, and his opponent, Henry Middleton, l251. Notification majority, l22. Last year the Notification majority for Senator was l55. All the Notification candidates in Charleston for Representatives to the State Legislature, Is in number, are elect ed by maorities averaging little over IVo.
 In Christ Church Parish, the Union Rep resentative received majority of 20 votes, and Mir. Huger for Congress, a majority of 27.
 In St. James, Goose Creek, the Union Representative received d majority of "A votes, and Mr. Huger. for Congress, the same.
 In Georgetown and precincts, the three Union candidates for Representatives are elected, by an average majority of about 20. This is hailed by the Unlcn papers as 9 oreat triumph. The same town gave PosteH, Union candidate for Congress, a majority of 35, and Dozler, Union candi- date for State Senator, majority of 23.
 Darlington district gave Postelf a maJo- rity of l2o and elected it's two Union Rep resentatives by about the same maJorl'y. Whole number of votes boiled l04s.
 Colleton district gave the Notification candidate for Senate majority of io5, ana elected three Notification Representatives without opposition. -, e. St. James, Santee. gave Plnckney' TOT Congress. 20 yotes-no opposition. Marion Court House gave the NulIflca- ton candidates majority of about 2s5.
 It is probable {but not certa.n) that the Null;6srs will have two-thirds of the mem hers in both Houses of the Legislature, in which case, we are informed they can, aoreeably to the State Constitution re-eacef tke Test Ooth .act, notwithstanding its belng decided to be unconstitutional hy the Su- preme Court of South Carolina

Bank Rober taken.-Our readers may recollect that we published about month ago an account of a robbery exceeding six ty thousand dollars in amount, which was committed on the Norfolk Bank, in Rox- bury, Massachusetts. Subsequently one of the thieves was taken in Boston and com- mitted to prison, where he made restitution of six thousand dollars, (his portion of the plunder.) On Thursday last the principal robber of the gang was fortunately appre- hended at Baltimore and lodged in iail.- His name is WILLIAM DEvoE, an old offen- der, well known to our police, and has al- ready been an inmate of our state prison, and is the same person who robbed the Wheeling Bank, but having restored the property when apprehended, was at inc time suffered to escape punishment. We understand that hopes are entertained that the money stolen from the Norfolk Bank will be recovered.

OHIO.-We publish the latest intelli-

0fIIo.-We publish the latest intelli- gence from this state, contained in an ex- ira from the office of the Columbus State journal. Ten Wings and nine Jackson Representatives are elected from the state the Wings gaining three, and losing one Member. The Journal gives the names of ten Wings and nine Jackson men as elected to the State Senate; aAd forty-one Wings and thirtv-two Jackson men elected to the House. In 53 counties the Whig gain upon the election of 1892, IS 4,906.
 The Journal publishes unofficial returns from s cut of TO counties in the state and says, "we think the reelection of Gov ernor Lucas, by a reduced majority, may be considered certain"

Immediate Relief of the Tooth-aehe.

Immediate Reief of the Tooth-oehe.-- Dr. Ryan observes, that the application of the pure nitric acid to carious tooth pro- cures almost immediate relief of the tooth- ache and face-ache, without producing the slightest pain. The acid must be applied to every part of the decayed surface, and care taken not to suffer it 10 touch the gum, cheek, lips, or apparel. The mouth should be washed after the application with tepid water. itis much easier to touch the teeth in the lower than the upper jaw; but have never known single instance in which the acld was fairly tried and completely applied to the decayed surface, without procuring almost immediate relief without any pain. When the upper teeth are diseased, 1t is very difficult to touch the nerve m small opening, and this Is the cause of failure. The remedy may be employed, however delicate the patient even to children.
