MORE MANOR TROUBLES. We learn from the
Albany Knckerbocker that VIM p. Van Rensse-
laer has abandoned his mansion at Bath, Rensse-
laer county, in consequence of anonymous letters
received by him, Threatening personal violence
A correspondent of the Albany Atlas, writing from
Kortright, Delaware county, says !
"The ant-rent movement in Delaware is ia-
creasng to an alarming degree, and an agent dare
hardly show his face in the infected district The
tenantry in this district have been RECALLED with
several lectures by tinerant orators of the down
rent school, and 1t is believed that by the fall
every tenant will have joined the association
Indeed, life and property are both in danger, in
case of refusal to respond to the cry of 'down
rent and to sign articles by which these bands
of disorganizers are held together. The agents
have been repeatedly threatened with personal
violence" ,f4 aa#. 1 aE n.

he placed his arm, and covering it up, soon fell
into quiet sleep, and SO remained about an hour.
On arising, he found to his surprise and delight,
that he had entirely recovered the use OF his arm,
