A LOVING WFE.--The love of some wives for drunken husbands is perfectly ri- diculous and disgusting. An instance of this kind, directly in point, is said to have taken place in the Old Commonwealth of Massachusetts few days since, which ought to be published far and wide to the disgrace of both parties. A brute of fell low, who spends all of his earnings for whiskey, has wife with a beautiful head of hair. Becoming so reduced in lis re- sources as to be utterly unable 10 raise funds to fill his jug, he besonght his wife Tn such moving terms to cut off her hair and sell il to d barber, that she at length consented. The barber paid him thirty seven and a half cents for the hair, which he laid out in whiskey, and got as drunk as a beast. Had his wife pulled all his hair out of his head instead of cutting off her own, it would have been more in character.

MOBIsa IN MICHIGAN.

DETROIT, OCT. 10.
 "We regrel to learn that highly disrepu- table riot occurred at Ypsilanti on Monday night. The house in which the Acting Governor lodged was assaulted, the win dows of his chamber broken; and to shell ter himself from their missiles, he was ob- liged to remove part of his bed to the floor, where he slept till morning. Itwas Clark's tavern. In the morning we are informed, the host charged him five dollars to pay the damage done by the mob to his house ID

"GOING AHEAD."-A runaway cou- pie, with their attendants, came to this city on Monday morning, and immediately cros- sed the river to Aberdeen, second "Gretna Green" in order 10 be united in the holy bands of matrimony. Here they found magistrate well skilled in the art of matri- monial knot tying, and who, when the siler IS planked np. IS not very scsupalots about the acquisitions of the law. The job was speedily done, and the couple pronounced "man and wife," The brides maid, a plump and rosy little lass, at the conclusion of the ceremony, innocently said with one of those winning and killing smiles, which Cupid, that arch little god, so we'll knows how to send home 10 the heart, "that il was so easy thing to get married, she would like to try it too." Her partner, being too gallant to be ontdone or backed out, brave ly determined to "go ahead," and instantly smelling out the pre-requisite--possibly a 'Jackson yellow y,"--the suddenly ex- cited hopes were quickly swallowed up in exquisite fruition--and the couple returned to Kentucky with their companions, de- iies.ted husband and wife.

The Baltimore Chronicle says, that it IS Mir. Van Buren's interest to plunge us into war with France! Are we never to have an end to these false and gratuitous char ges? Mir. V. B. does not desire war. It will not promote his interest. It will not facilitate his election. His patriotism, as well as that of every considerate citizen, will prompt him to decline 1t, unless the Rights and Honor of his country enforce it.-Richmond Enquirer.
 Even the immensely important question of Peace or War IS 10 be disposed of accor- ding to the sinterests" of MT. Van Buren. Such is the avowal of his friends. A war, says Mir. Ritchie, twill not promote his in- terests''; but if 1t should do so, the inference is that he would favor war. In the in- trlgue now in progress, under the name of the ''rights and honor of the country'', to involve this country in war, there can be no doubt that the presidential election forms prominent feature. If war is declared who will claim the right of carrying it on ! Certainly he man wlo was the cause of it. What would MT. Richie think and say | he following declaration should hapt been made by Gen. Jackson !--s.i i1ave 5aalfs8 ed Martin Van Buren as mE ar eseey--- the alternative IS before the people-eitber ham or Dle'!--N Y. Stor.

s'The Globe of yesterday states that nei- ther courier nor despatehes have been re- ceived from France by the late arrivals. It may be well for you to understand, that the editor of the Globe has not the ent,ec In the State Department, nor is on such confidential terms with Mr. Secretary For syth, as to give the impress of authority to what appears in that paper on foreign affairs. The clerks in your Post Office will inform you that despatches have been forwarded for the State Department, which were re- celved by every recent French arrival. do not, of course, pretend to say that they have any reference to the indemnity ques- tion, but the letter of the American Banker in Paris. stating that the French govern ment declined paying the first insialment on the indemnity claim. together with the details of an interview with the minister of foreign affairs on the subject, may be deem- ed of sufficient consequence to call them at feast .sdespatches. .n-N.

Steam canal packets. ts.-Mr Parmalee, of Poughkeepsie, has invented sheet-iron packet boat for our canals. It is propelled by locomotive engine, and in an experi- ment at Albany day or two since, it went at the rate of seven miles per hour, washing the banks less with the ripple than the or dlnary packets do, which go only four miles, by horse power. The velocity can be easi- ly increased to ten miles, and tken the rip pie probably would be less.--N. Y. Star.

Ominous. The Washington Globe, of Friday, holds, editorially, (and, we may presume, at least semi -officially,) this lan- guage:
 Judges in our opinion. should be ap- pointed for terms not exceeding four or sic years. life tenure Is an invulnerable shield against all accountability on this side ofthe grave. 1t IS an anomaly in our re- publican institutions. The independence ot the Judges in England is some security for popular rights, inasmuch as the Bench IS thus redeemed from the absolute control once held over it by the Crown. In this country, itis derogation from the rights of the people, inasmuch as judicial indepen- dence here IS but another name for abso- iate Responsibility impeachment being, under veto of one third of the Senate, equivalent 10 an entire impupity, even for crimes. Irresponsible power over the Constitution and laws sheuld not exist in Government of the pe0jgis.'
 In due time, we doubt pot, war on the in- dependence ofthe Judiciary will be regular ly undertaken and infexibly prosecuted. ln the late Virginia Convention, Chief Jus tice Marshall solemnly expressed his con vlctlon that the tenure of good behaviour alone for the Bench was required by the best interests ofthe country. He maintain ed thai ri was in the last degree important that the judge should be rendered perfectly and completely independent, with nothing to control him but God and his conscience.' He had al,oays thougH that dependent Judiciary apas the greatest scourge aehich an angry heauen intlicted upon oaa 9ngrotefad and siaaing people,

IMPORTANT DEoIsIoN.--The United States Circuit Cour, for the counties of Crawford and Iowa, which was lately held at Mineral-Point, the Hon. Dapad Iypsa presiding, on the trial of J. B. & Wm. Smith for the murder of W. Massey, has decided that the counties of Du Buque and Des bipipes are noi within the jurisdiction of f that court. The consequence of this de- clsion was, that the two Smiths were set at liberty, and number of civil suits on the docket dismissed. The decision was based on the ground that the act of Congress of 1884 attaching the country west of the Mis- sissippi to Michigan Territory did not ex- tend the jurisdiction of the United States circuit court to that territory.
 This decision IS important in this, that 1t establishes the fact that the lives and pro- perty of the citizens of Du Buque and Des Nolnes are without the protection of the law. It is an over sight upon the part of the na- tional council which demands an early and immediate attention, and which no doubt will be corrected upon the assembling of that body. In the mean time 1t will be ne- cessary for those residing there to protect their lives and property by the only law which can operate in such case-that IS Lynch's law. Every we'll wisher of that section of the country will regret this event.

Probably no two families ever were more affectionately attached and 1t is to preserve this harmony m the domestic circles, that Messrs. Clay and Benton never allude to each other in debate.

It is told of the Doctor, that he recently cut swine's tail in two and made it grow together again.

 An opinion has been given by the Circuit Court oi iile United States for the southern district of New York, in answer to an in- quiry by the Grand Jury, that it is not vi- olaton of the sixth section of the act of Congress of the 2oth April, ISIS, to hold meetings in the city of New York, and ap- point committees tsto provide means and make collections for the purpose of enabling she inhabitants of Texas to engage in civ Il war with the sovereignty of Mexico, now at peace with the United States" This section, the Court says, applies only to mil itary expeditions and enterprises to be car sied on from fte United Stafes against any foreign Power with which we are at peace.
