Caught an his otrm Irap.-The Portland

that city received what he asked for, bal
not what he wished for:
"a few days ago a full grown able bo-
died man presented himself at the door of
one OF our citizens, and solicited the lady
OF the house to 6 i've him two cents, She
remarked that she had none, and inquired
what he wanted Of them. TO buy dose

1.-The lady had no cents, but she had a
plenty of oil, and she prepared him a stiff
dose. He tried hard to get excused from
taking it, but she was firm, he was a sick
man, and it must go down. The loafer
found he was caught in his own trap, and,
where he meant 10 have a glass of liquor,
he got dose of physic; but making a vir-
tue OF necessity, and with sundry wry ia
ces, he swallowed it down, and cleared. -
He'll not call at such house again, we

INTERESTING DISCOVERY IN THE EAST.
The book Of DR.. Grant, just published,
will furnish the reading public with matter
Of peculiar interest. He has resided seve-
raj years in Persia, among The HISTORIANS
about Lake Ooroma ard, having be-
come familiar with their language and
manners, and learnt something Of the
HISTORIANS Of the mountains, determined
to pay them visit, though discouraged
from the attempt by the reported dangers
Of the way. His boldness was crowned
with most gratifying success. He pene.
trated into an extensive region, long se.
cluGed from the rest Of the world by noun
tans almostimpsssable, and doubly guard
ed by fierce tribes OF Koords who stain the
sides and bases Of those eminences with
blood and there discovered nation Of
Christians, living in primitive simplicity.
who received with open arms visier from
the Western ntineni, Of the existence OF
which they had hardly heard.
There, in the recess,s Of a region Sc
cluded by Nature, he found churches not
less than 400 years old, and Christian
rites so little corrupted by false doctrine,
that he could couscientIously jim in wor-
ship with the people whom he styles the
+" Albigenses Of the East" They speak
the modern Syriac language, and have
few copies of the Scriptures in the ancient.
They resemble Israelites in m,ny respects;
and are supposed by our en,erprislng trav-
eiler to be descendants OF those who were
carried captive into ChaIdea, and after.
wards became converted in the first GEN.
fury By the preaching OF some Of the Apos-
ties.
The volnme comprises the journal OF
Dr. Grants perilous and adventurous
journey, with interesting accounts Of the
people, and his cogent arguments in favor
of their lsraeliish origin, whose justice
has been acknowledged by some ot the
most intelligent Europeans and Americans
resident in that part Of asia.
Men If knowl dye and sound Taste will
know how to appreciate work alike cal
cul ted To improve the mad and the heart,
and t. do credit To American literature,

Some idea may be formed Of the state
Of ignorance in which our counntryman
found the people OF that secluded region
from the fact that, when introduced TO the
principal man Of the nation, he was met
with query OF the following kind: +" If
YOU came from the new Western world,

TRIAL OF lla MEN FoR MURDER =

The correspondent Of the Illinois Free
Trader gives an account OF the trial OF
tho persons charged with the murder Of
the Driskalls, John and William, from
which the editor ofthe Era has made the
following extract:--
One hundred and twelve men were in.
dicted for the murder, and one hundred
pleaded not guilty. and were put upon
trial. The very fact OF the great coniu-
son occasioned by so many names in the
ind ctment, left the accused without any
evidence TO contend against. The two
or three FIST witnesses, whose names were
endorsed upon the Indictment, (and by the
the laws OF this State none, except these
whose names are so endorsed, can be cali
ed to prove the substantive part Of the ac-
cusation) only knew some Of the prepare
tory steps takeI, which led to the suppos-
ed offence.
The case was submitted to the jury,
who, without leaving their seats, rendered
a verdict OF not guilty. This verdict was
given partially from want Of evidence,
and from what the jury considered the alb.
soute necessity Of the case. The writer
says the ta,os could not protect the COM
munity, where the banditti committed
their many enormities--the occasion was
TOO urgent TO wait for their uncertain a
mendment and adaptation TO the energen-
cy-indivIdually they could not protect
themselves law they repudiatcd--
they therefore resorted to counter or
ganzation, ordained Bewrules Of eyidence,
and new mode of proceeding, such, and
such only, as in their judgment were eff
fectunl to protect them. There may be
those who are disposed TO cavil, perhaps
to condemn. The judgments and per-
ceptions OF such would be essentially in.
vigorated, could they have dwelt for a
short time here, and suffered the murder
Of their friends, the burning ofiheir dwell
ings, and the pluuder Of their property ;
and when they called On the law to re-
dress these wrongs, to see those whom
they knew to be perpetrators, escape with
impunity.

trance we measured and found thew ldIh
TO be eighty three feet and again at thlr-

The sides are even, especially the east
side, which is as smooth as if it had been
chisseed. The roof is broken and crag-
gy, and in some parts rising very high, at
others il descends within ten feet OF the
floor. The flooring for the most part IS
level and smooth, consisting OF stone and
hard gravel. We met with several deep
pits. into one of which we were near fall

sounded one to the depth ofnine iathoms,
and found water, and another 10 the depth
Of five and a half Iathoms, which appear

is remarkably straight and uniform in width
