 The dinner party given by the President to Mir Clay, on Wednesday evening. has attracted agood deal of attention, and is considered the handsomest and most honorable thing which the former has stumbled upon during his ads ministration There were about fifty ladies and gentlemen assembled on the occasion, nearly aFof the former being Clay women, and about half ei the latter distinguished Whig statesmen. The table was abuhdantly fur-e' itjshed with the dsn,ies nf the season, and the gueststoole their seats at 7o'elock.

 HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AT WHITE .' PLAINS.

] We heard yesterday of an inhuman and horrible outrage, comhilted in the village o 1 White Plains, We stcEester county. A wid.
 ow lady, named Crosby, has resided there
 for some time in beautiful cotage-ai
 home without male protection. A faith, 1 ful dog. a glorious guardian aad protected
 which she possessed, some time ago tnyste, ! riously disappeared. Last week, an indi- viduai of suspicious appearance was seen
 to enter the front garden of Mrs. Crosby's
 house. Upon being observed he relreaud,
 as though he had made mistake as to the
 house. He was passing the house once or
 twice afterwards but nothing was thought of the matter. Towards the end of the
 week, one evening-we think Thursday
 Mrs. Crosby being out at the time, on a visit to a eighbour's--Miss Valentine, an ] inmate of tn house, discovered one of lhe parlor windows open, an unusual circum- stance at this cold and inclcment. season. She uphraided the servants for their care> lessness. They knew nothing of the matter. Shortly afterwards the young lady. Miss Valentine, thought she heard a noisesin the upper part of ;he building, and ascended the stairs to ascertain the canse Near the top she encountered man, an ugly looking customer. Alter gazing upon him for some seconds, she asked him what he wanted - Heaneplied, that ifshe spoke again he would break her head or split it open. Frightened, the poor young lady turned, round @and ,en |, deavored to make be- escape-hut the dam nahle miscreant, pursuing her, struck her on the back of her head, with some heavy weapons, battering her comb to pieces and breaking ker skull. hurled her down a flight of steps aud left her nsensible, and, as the wretch no doubt thought, dead. She is yet in a very precarIous situation. We trust that the coldbt pded villain will be arrest- ed, and we are sure a handsome remard will be given for his discovery.-tN. Y Atlas.

CURIOUS FACT FOR DOCTORS.

A correspondent in one of the Cincinnati pa pes states that Buena Vista battlefield is still covered with bOnes, coats, pants, shoes, ant knapsacks, &e. And what is most sim gular of all is, that few Mexicans who were left unbuTied are still on the battle field entire. Neither putufaction nor the wolves prey upon them. but they are dried up like mummies. The only way have heard it explained is, that the Mexicans cal 50 much pepper that it preserves their bodies from pn,erfaction, and at the same time spells them for the taste of wolves Ger tainly they do not decay, and the wolves will not prey upon them.

Scripture Names.

s One of the most singular peculiarities of the puritans sf England. during the civil wars, was the custom of giving childIen "scriptuTe names" as they were termed While we honor the meekness and p:ety which no doubt in very many cases dictated the practice, we cannot but regard it as a fashion which ultimately run into radio uious extreme.
