A Hard Case.

In the London newspapers there is published
report, before one of The police magistrates, of
a very hard case indeed. A respectable look
ing female, named Amelia Jones, accompanied
by her liltle child, made an application TO the
Justice, under The folio wing circumstances, for
his advice. She said that she was native Of
Philadelphia, and ,ha, about two years ago, she
married an Englishman. named Jones, who left
her months since, and learning that he was
living in London in good circumstances, she
lef, Philadel phia and went TO England in search
of him, and by laborious inquiry she found out
his residence in the Kent Road. She called
al The house, when to her utter asonishmen,
she discovered another woman. He told her
how he was situated: that he had formed an
other matrimonial alliance, and that he was en-
tirely dependent on his wife's property, and
therefore could render her no kind OF assistance.
To make bad matters worse, he delied her TO
do her ''bcsl or worst" frs- the offence OF mar
rying her in America and afterwards marrying
another wife in England, could not be constru-
ed into charge of bigamy. The poor woman
was therefore Obliged TO qui, his house, with
out the means of returning TO America, or Of
supporting herself and child in London. The
MA sgis,rate gave her some immediate relief, and
advised her TO call on the American Consul for
aid.

Cow Losing her Horn.

On New-leaEs day, lS45, one of my cows
in fighting another, with fence between them,

who ihough, he had learned something from a
book farmer undertook to practice on his own
account He concluded, by reasoning on the
nature of things, that as The horn was made TO
cover the pi,h, the pith ought TO be covered,
especially in winter. He accordingly shut up
the COW 5y herself, and looking around, found
the horn beside the fence laying on The ground
and as cold as stone. 1t was replaced, and
he went TO my farm medicine chest, and taking
therelrom roll Of sticking plaster, spread long
strips of muslin with it, and wound the strips
around the base of The horn The result was,
the horn became warm al The base, and gradu-
ally extended upwards until the whole assumed
its natural temperature. The plaster adhered
more than week, and upon examination al

A Story Of a Giant.

In exhuming of late the remains of so many
wonderfully large animals unknown 10 the pres
ent age, il has been supposed that The ancient
race Of men must have been correspondngly as
large. At length we have something 10 sus-
tain the doctrine. The Madison Banner states
on The mos, reliable authority, that person in
franklin county, Tennessee, while digging a
well, few weeks since, found human skele-
ton, at The depth Of fifty feet, which measures
eighteen feet in length The immense frame
was entire with an unimportan, exception in
one Of the legs. II has been visited by several
of the principal members Of the medical faculty
in Nashville, and pronounced unequvocally, by
all, the skeleton of huge man. The bone of
the thigh measured FIVE feet; and il was com
puled tha, the height of the living man, making
the proper allowance for muscles, must have
been at least twenty feet. The finder had been
offered eigh t. ausand dollars for it, but had de-
,ermined not TO sell it al any price until first
exhibiting for twelve months. He is now
having the different parts wired together for
this purpose. These unwrten records cf the
men and animals of other ages, that are from
time to time dug out Of The bowels of the earth,
put conjecture to confusion, and almos, surpass
Imagination itself. History informs US that The
Emperor Maximus was feet inches in
height. In the reign of Caudus man was
brought from Arabia 9 feet inches tall. John
Middleton, of Lancashire, England, was fee.
; inches, aud Coller. The Irish Giant, 8 feet
inches. But our American skeleton, if we have
really found such one, will throw all other
Giants in The shade.

You'll pardon our complaining,
While true affection urges us,
To Try for your reclaimlng.
Pray lend kind, propiilous ear,
And do not be offended,
When we propose remedy
To have this evil mended.
Let those who will indulge, at home,
There use il unmolested,
If those around them can submit,
To be so much infested
But when they come TO worship God,
Behave as is beftting,
Oh then refuse, for conscience sake:
This is no place for splitting.
But for inveierate cases, when
They cannot be obedient,
And for accommodations sake
We have grand expedien'.

NEW YORK, NOV. 10, lS45.
in compliance with promise made in one Of my
late communications, proceed to give you the res
outions adopted in a number Of the counties in this
State having reference to the foreign policy of the
present administration, and more especially in ref
erence to the Texas and Oregon questions.
! have found it impossible to collect the proceed
ings of every county in the State; but enough is
here presented to show TO your numerous readers
that the democracy Of the Empire State are in the
very front rank OF those who are ready to sustain
the position the President assumed in his inaugural
relative to our rights to Oregon. Probably there are
not more than FIVE or six counties in the State bu,
what passed, at their regularly constituted county
meetings. resolutions similar TO those | have here
collected; to republish the whole of which, would
not only occupy too much space in your paper, but
be unnecessary, as these are an indication Of the
whole.
Il would be amusing, were il not disgusting, to
see with what evident trepidaion and alarm-in
fact, base fear and ignoble cowardice-some of our
federal wing prints look upon the manly and
straightforward course Of the administration
in asserting our rights. We shall offend the
Engshmen, cries one--Great Britain will be sure
to declare war against us, cries another-and whip
us, too, says a third We had better give up to
the demands Of Great Britain, for our commerce
will be injured and our ships destroyed, says the
northern dollar worshipping federal merchant Let
us wait; IT will fall to us by-and-by; but give up all
rights to it, rather than go to war, says the cot
ton-growing wing of the South
Such is the want Of patriotsm--such the how
low and grovelling spirit displayed by few erin
ging, chicken-hearted money-worshippors, both at
the North and the South. Ii il, TO be sure, no new
position for q northern or eastern federalist to be
found timidy Knocking to the naughty demands OF
Great Britain, and opposing their own government,
