Gallantrg among Sosdiers.-one of The
British Regiments in Canada, the 7lst, re-
Gently ordered to The West Indies, has
been 80 lung in Canada that number of
soldiers had formed matrimonial alliances
without leave, and OF course much alarm
was created among their families when
the order came. To the surprise and ad
miration Of every body, two hundred men
stepped from the ranks Of the reserved
battalion, which remains at Chambly and
offered themselves as substitutes for their
married comrades. BY This truly generous
and soldierike conduct, says the Montreal
Gazette, the separation and consequent
misery TO families was prevented, aud all
permanent volunteers for Canada, and old
soldiers who were permitted for genel al
good conduct to renal in the colony pri-
or to discharge, or who were found uofi
for tropical service, were replaced.

A Fact for Abolitionists. Some of the

sometime ago, ofa planter from Virginia,
having with him nearly 900 slaves. He

Jackson county. The slaves attracted the
attention of every body by their happy
and contented appearance, saying that they
had "a good MASTER The planter was de-
tanned, we have understood, some two
daysin Illinois, on account fthe absence
of two of his slaves. Al first, be suppo-
sed they had wandered away and got lost,
but at The endeof, the days they came
up to the party.and the party, and con.
siessed that they had run Off but soon got,i,

forgiveness of the master. This was
granted, at the same lime that he told
them all, that they were in "a free: State,

him, if they desired to do so, and he
should make no effort to recover them.

Anecdote-The Archbishop Of Dublin
tells of a horseman who, having lost his
way, made complete circle: when the
first round was finished, seeing the marks
of horses hoofs, and never dreaming
that they were those Of his own beast, be
rejoiced, and said. This at least shows
me tha, ! am in some lrack;'-when The
second circuit was finished the signs OF
travel were doubled, and he said, Nov,
surely am in beaten ways" and, with
tho conclusion Of every round, the marks
increased, till he was certain he must be
in some frequented thnroughfare, and ap-
preaching popuous town; hut be was
all the while riding after bis borse's tail,
and deceived by the track of his own er-

pursue their own tails in dinner circuits,
newspapers and reviews, repeating the
same error until they become so misguided
by it, as TO take The impression Of their
own devations for proof tha, they were
going right.-Del. Jour.

Ancisnt Ruins.-A gentleman who has
Iraversed large portion of the Indian
country of Northern Texas; and the coun-
try lying between Santa Fe aud the Paci.
ic, informs the editor of the Houston
Telegraph, that there are vesliges of an
cienl cities and ruined temples on the Rio
Puerco aud Colorado Of the West. On
one Of the branches Of the Rio Puerco, a
few days travel from Sante Fe, there is an
immense pile Of ruins hat appear 10 be-
long 10 an ancien, temple. The building
occupies nearly an acre Of ground-por-
lions of the wall are still standing, consist
ing Of large blocks Of limestone regularly
hewn, and laid in. cement. The ruins
bear general resemblance to those Of Pa
lenque on Otolun. There are many sim.
liar ruins on the Colorado of the West,
which empties into the Californian sea.
Neither the Indians resident in the vicin-
ity, nor the oldest Spanish selllers of the
nearest settlements can give an account
of the origin Of these buildings.

..EErom the Philadelphia Ledger ]

A Hebrew wedding took place at th'
Synagogue, in New York, on Wednes
day. The ceremonies, as usual on sucl
occasions, were very impressive. A
long recitative in Hebrew was chaunlec
by The priest, from the altar; after which
a canopy, l2O years old, resting on foul
uprights, was brought out and held ovel
the heads Of the reader and the groom, al
wearing their hats. The bride was then
brough in by her bridesmaids and family
and, closely veiled, took her place also un-
der The canopy. Theipriest them chaun-
led a prayer, and after that glass OF
wine was brought him, which he tasted.
and then the bridegroom and bride. The
wedding-ring was then placed by the
groom on the finger of the bride, accom-
panied by the admission that it was the
evidence of their betrothing. The priest
then chaun.ed The seven blessings from the
prayers which were appropriate to such
an occasion. The wine was again tas-
ted, and after thai, the glass in which il
was contained was dashed 10 the ground
and broken in pieces. 1t is done as an
emblem of the mortality of our race, and
memenlo Of the destruction Of the Tenn
pie. This ended the ceremony, aud The
married couple Immediately left the Sy-
nagogue.
The true Sun gives, The following ac-
count oflhese ceremo MES among the En-
slish Jews.
We understand it is rather an innovation
upon the ancient practice 10 have these
weddings solcmnized in their Synagogues.
Among the English Jews, they usually
take place at houses of public resort. The
London taverns are quite celebrated in
this respect. lis usual in England for an
engagement 10 exist for six months or
year before the marriage, and the ceremony
Of bclrothng is one in which there is much
rejoicing among (riends.-A month before
The wedding day, there is a circular sent
round 10 The acquantances Of the betrothed
inviting friends 10 the ceremony. II is
also customary there 10 read the marriage
contract nnder lhe cannopy,(afier placing
Ihe ring upon ;he finger) in which there
arc very curious sipulalions for the bene.
fit Of the female, either as wife or widow.
Bands Of music are not unfrequently en-
ployed at these weddings, and the pieces
performed are solemn Jewish melodies.
All the guests bring presents proportioned
TO / heiv means; and such sometimes, is the
profuSion of,heir liberalily, that the amount
received is very large.
"lt mus, not be forgotten that the Jews
always considered marriage as matter Of
obligation, and the earlier ,heiryoung peo-
pie marry, the more honorable it is in their
estimation.-There were, also, some Curl
ou customs and laws established by Mo-
ses, most Of which have fallen into disuse
since The final dispersion oftheir race"

doubtless be conducted with ability, and advo-

ii success. We would remark, however, that
in Washington, where there is COMP aratisey
no commerce, and consequently bur little adj
vertising patronage, the terms of the daily
would hardly pay the publishers expenses even
with large circulation. With moderate one
il would be certain ruin. We trust the publish
