CANADA ANNExATIoN.--A declaration in ia
favor of the annexation of Canada to the Uni
States has been drawnu up at Montreal and sign
cd by 800 of the first merchants, landholdcrs
and professional mon, including two members
of Parliament, and two of the Queens counsel.
All the presses save two in Lower Canada are
in favor of annexation.
CALIFoRNIA.-The latest news is favorable
The movement toward the formation of a State
Constitution is proceeding, and a decidedly An
ti-Slavery spirit is manifested throughout. The
troubles anticipated with the Chilians and other
foreigners do not seem to have been cxperien-
ced, and the removal of these outside barba-
rians " from the ~diggings has been, partially at
least, accomplished without resort TO actual vio-
lence.
A Court IN TEARs.-At Dedham, yesterday,
three Greeks were placed on trial for stealing a
horse in Midway. From the inability of the
prisoners to speak English, DIR. Howe of this
city was called upon to act as interpreter. One
of the number, on conviction, addressed the
Court in extenuation of their offence, detailing
the events of their lives, and the wrong and
suffcrings they had endured in their own land.
After endeayoring in vain to get employment
in this country, they were recommended to go
to California. To obtain means to do so, they
stole the horse, upon which the charge was
brought. The address being interpreted, threw
the whole Court in tcMs.-TrareAer.
A SINGULAR BUT TRUE SrArEMENr.-At our
present writing, there is a lady in this county
So years of age, who has had 81 children. One
of them, the wife of VIM. Faircloth, has had l6
children, ii of whom are now living, Anoth-
er, the wife of Matthew Faircloth, has 20 chill
dren, Is Of whom are now living-nine sons
and nine daughters. These ladies, are in the
prime of life. Another sister, Mrs. Marker, re-
Gently died in Scriven county, at the age of SO
wears, who had rs children. The children of
both Mrs. Faircloths were all born in this coun-
ty.-ADany, Geo. Pat.
ANOTHER "AGIrATING QUEsrIoN."-A plan
to establish schools in Virginia has been voted
down by a large majority of the people. A
writer in a Richmond paper hopes the matter
never will again be brought forward to "dis-
turb our harmony and social peace" We had
supposed Free Soil was the only question capa-
BILE of disturbing 'our domestic relations The
schools, it seems, are equally offensive to the
sublimated ignorance and slavery of Virginia.
FRI AT OwEGo.-The fire at Owego, Tioga
County, New York, was more disastrous than
was at first supposed. Nearly the whole vii
lage is in ruins Seventy-ive buildings, in
GLIDING all the stores but three, the Post-office,
Bank, three hotels, and three printing offices,
were destroyed. The fire broke out in a room
occupied by the Sons of Temperance. The
The loss is estimated at from 5000, 900 to ST.
900, 900. No lives were lost.
RECOVERY OF A LOST BoY.-John Burt of
Albany, N. Y. has recovered his little son, now
seven years of age, who was stolen from him
three years ago. The object of those who abb
Quoted him appears to have been to train him
as a circus rider. He was not pleased with his
new home, ran away, and finally got into the
orphan asylum at Syracuse, where the father
found him.
