Breach of promise cases are becoming fashona-
bic again. We had not heard much of them for a
few years past: but the rage for speculation pre-
walls so extensively that the ladies have gone into
it "with a looseness." 1t is dangerous squeezing
hands or casting sleeps eyes now adays If a
young man says a soft thing this evening, he may
have a sheriff after him tomorrow. A construct
i've promise can be raised out OF anything-and
they are the worst kind of promises in The world,
for nobody but Court and Jury can tell when they
are made or what they amount to. The market
price Of breach Of promise is about $1,000; but
the rise or fall in the article is often as rapid and
unacountable as it is in the case of Malaga fruit
or potatoes.-- Ercier .Nclos Letter.

The .NormonS agdin.-Great apprehensions en-
list lest the Mormons should emigrate 10 Oregon.
The Platte (Mo.) Argus, among other things, says {:
If we reflect for moment upon the effect of
introducing at this crisis, the thousands who COM
pose the latter day saints, into the Oregon territory,
we are not friends to Oregon, much less the pro-
gress OF true liberty, did not we forbid the march,
Who is so blind as not to that the first effect
Of aiding the Mormons to the present population
Of Oregon, will be to place the balance of power
in their hands and this will surely be thrown to
that party which will make the best bargain with
the Mormon leaders. 1t is easy to guess whether
the interest of the United States, or those of Great
Britain, would suffer by such state of things
Apart from political considerations, we are bound
TO do all in our power to avert this fell curse from
our friends in Oregon; and we are recreant to ev-
cry sense OF our duty,it with full knowledge of the
intentions of the Mormons to 90 TO that county,
we look quietly on, with the power of prevention

BALTIMoRP. Nov. Doth

A most horrid case of burying alive occurred a
few weeks since in our city, aud which, although
generally talked Of has, out of respect to the rela-
tves and friends of the deceased, been excluded
from the public prints A young lady was taken
sick, and died ve,y suddenly, supposed by
the family physician, and was placed in her coffin
and carried to the depository of the family, and
on visiting the vault, they were struck with the
horrible sight of the young lady in her burial cloth
ing, out of the coffin, ana sitting up against the side
of the wn-Gead!
As may be supposed the discovery has plunged
family and large circle of acquaintance in the
deepest anguish. 1t was found on examining the
coffin, that the lid had 5een pressed off by the
fore the vital spark had fled, and who had returned
to consciousness but die the most horrible of all
deaths Many doubt this, but it is too true to be
denied

Cassius VI Clay. The Kentucky Christian In

| JdSSlUS VI Gay. The KentucKy Chrlsllan IN
teligencer thus speaks of Cassius NJ. Clay:
"That the violence extended towards Claws en-
terprise has planted him the more firmly in his po-
siton than ever, we have not the least particle OF
doubt. 1t has enlisted in his behalf the poorer and
the sluveholding portions of Kentucky, as well
as the almost entire North. Should the oigarchy
take it into their heads to immediate Clay they will
only hasten the downfall of African Slavery and
strengthen the bonds of universal liberty. We sin
cerely hope and trust that MIR. Clay will be more
guarded and more mild for, in our mind, there is
not a more honest and noble-heared man in Ken
lucky, and we cannot be persuaded that he would
knowingly devise or accomplish an unpalriotic en-.
terprise. " Be sure you're right" and then noble
Cassus, go ahead not TO agate the country, but
to pour wholesome instruction and prudent counsel
into the great mind Of community, and all will be
well for the ultimate Accomplishment of the great
ends OF gradual, legal, and constitutional enamel

that common cent or piece Of copper bound
