A JOKE OF THE TALLBsr KIND.-The
Exeter IN. H.) News Letters, has chap
ter of reports of trials at the Court of Com
mon Pleas, in that town Amongst them is
the following: Alfred Tetherly, Of Charles
town, was indicted for stealing horse, the
property of Josiah Woodman, of Noting
ham. On being asked If he was guilty or
not guilty, he said they might set him down
as guilty, for he went into the barn to lodge
for the night, and finding no hay for him
to lie on, or the horse to eat, he took the
beast, out Of pity, rode him up country,
where there was hay enough, and sold him
to man who would feed him well, and not
allow him to starve. He thought some
about riding the horse back to its owners
but the jade travelled so hard that he would
rather so to State Prison ten years, than
ride him dozen miles. The Court senten-
ced him to three years imprisonment.--.N.

OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOR THE
SESSION,

In cnnsonance with previous usage, the
proprietor of the Ono STATE JOURNAL
submits the following Prospectus to the
consideration of the citizens of Ohio. The
political character of the Journal Is so well
known, that no new comments are necessa-
nv to explain it. 1t is unequivocally oppo-
sed to the administration of Martin Van
Buren,, and to all the mad schemes of him
self and his advisers. The Journal will con-
'tnue, steadily, in the path of its long avow-
ed and long cherished principles. Success
cannot corrupt it, nor defeat intlmdate it.
AS faithful sentinelon the watch-tower Of
American liberty, it wlllalways be found
awake on Its post.
During the winter, abundance oflnterest-
ing matter may be expected from the halls
of our State Legislature. The work OF
BANK REFORM is to be finished, by the ma
iority who now rule triumphant, and we, in
common with the whole State, feel anxious
to investigate its operation and its progress!
Our attention will be given to the subject
most amply and unreservedly.
In every other respect, the Ohio State
Journal will adhere to its original plan and
character. 1t will be, emphatcally. a NEWS
PAPER, in whose columns may be found all
the interesting events of the day. Con-
gressfonal reports, foreign and domestic
intelligence, together with the opinions OF
our contemporaries of the Press, and occa-
sional draughts from the pens -four literatl,
will form an agreeably variety. A generous
support is requested. . 1gt Uf.
