 SacsO Gss removed Co the City of New Dr. bfO...I,cr. he has entered upon the practice 's.Is. .l. I.,v. We are informed that he Is re- s";csd ~. in aII the important cases, and bids fair tO acquire as much celebrity iO his ne" voca,iOu, as he ever did in New York In an- other fine of business. His extensive com mercial transactions often le! him into the New.YOrk courts, where he was accustomed tO manage his own cases, and 1t IS said that Emmett, and Wells, and Ogden, had ihe'r hands full when they happened to be engaged against him. Against the accusation Of Conspiracy. which implicated some of the leading men of city, he defended himself with transcendent ability. An attempt was made to throw the Odium of the whole con spiracv upon his shoulders, SO that his allies might be exculpatcd, and the prosecuting counsel made remark like the following "What are these men in the hands Ot s"ch man as Jacob Barker They were ,Here men of straw.' In the course of the tr'a'' Baker roul;ed . "T will show the Iearned counsel. hnTnrp I have done, that he is a mere man Of otra,v in inc hands of Jacob Barker"
 (" yx. fYOwing Bo,Cl."-We understand that one of our City Watch, night before last. picked up drunken man in by-corner of the street, nearly covered in a snowdrift, with but breath remaining in his degraded body. He shouldered him as he would dressed swine, and humanely luggcd him to the Watch House and thawed him out. When able to speak. the wretched being said he was a stranger in ROchester-had wife and chil. dren sornew here-and xpressed strong wish that the watchman had let him died, when so near the tribunal of his insulted Maker.
 Rochester Democrof.
 A young lady in the habit of putting on a great deal too much rouge with too little care and art, was lately boosting that she owed what color she had to her custom of washing her face in cold water; but perceyng some little hesitation or astOnishment in the compa- nay, she said to gentleman, "you don't seem to believe me.'' "Oh madam" said he, "I have not the least doubt it is very clear; you wash in the red sea- Dr. Paley and the Farmer.-Thc late Dr. Paley, having oaturally weak voice, sub. mit:ed to the church wardens of Dalston, near Carlisle, (of which parish he was vicar) the propriety of having sounding. box put oyer his pulpit. While the matter was discussing in the vestry, "Oh" said thrifty farmer, eff the Doctor would speak as loud in the
  days faith, think there would be no Occa. sion to put the parish to the expense of a sounding box" The Doctor, with his char. acteristc mildness, retorted, "Friend. you are mistaken; you hear much better out of the church than in it. When a mans world iy interest is concerned, he is SD sharp-eared that he can hear even whisper, but preach. CT needs the voice of John the Baptist to rouse the sleepers." This senced the sa,irical far mer, who felt conscious of having frequently induIged in nap during the Doctors sermon. As we entered our office the other morning. one of the coldest we've had, we discovered Our devil holding the thermometer within a. bout foot of a red hot stove. We inquired the reason. Said he. (" can't work With the thomiter down to nothen, and when it gets about the right notch mean to go at it."
