The Cow AND THBPIG.-By law of
Massachusetts,, one COW and one pig are
exempt from attachment, and various at
tempts have been made by creditors to get
that COW and pig when no other property
was TO be found. The Barre Gazette
gives an account, of one of these attempts,
which prove that if the debtor has his
eyes open, the law is rather difficult
one to evade.
A creditor in town in that vicinity
had often cast a longing eye into pig
pen of one of his debtors, where was a
fine fat "pig'' just ready for the operation
of the butcher. He held an execution
which the hog would just about satisfy,
but the law forbade him to take the only
pig. In this dilemma he went TO the
debtor, and with pretended commisera-
ton for his poverty, offered him one of
litter of fine pigs. with which his own pen
had been replenished. The debtor with
much gratitude accepted the generous
offer. The little squeaker was turned in
with the fat grunter, and the creditor
after admirng the contrast, started i'll pur-
suit of an officer to attach one of the taOO
swine which the debtor now had. But
the debtor was not asleep, and quietly
Jerking his thumb after the retreating
Graball, lie hastened to his house and OBJ
tanned the we'll whetted knife, pulled over
old grunter as quietly as he could, and
drew out his life blood When the joyous
creditor returned with the sheriff, the we'll
dressed hog was converted into pork, and
as "provisions for the family" was also
exempt from attachment the creditor
turned away with tear in his eye, reck-
oning the loss of his nice little pig at the
end Of his previous debt.

PREMATURE INTERMENTs.-It is highly
probable that many an individual, par
ticularly during the prevalence OF tatai
epidemic, is buried alive-than which the
Imagination can conceive of no more
horrible fate. Not one corpse in thou
sand is ever disentombed, and yet out of
that small number how often do we find
evidence of a change in the position of
the body after burial-that it has turned
over, &c. The St. Louis Union of the
9th inst. says:
Yesterday morning, MIR. Schneider,
living near the corner of Carondelet and
LAFAYETTE street, it was thought, died OF
cholera. Last evening, he was taken to
one of the cemeteries for burial, but
just as the coffin was about to be lowered
into the grave, the friends heard knock
ing against the lid of the coffin. The
lid was Immediately removed, and Mr.
Schneider was found alive. He was
taken home and will probably recover.
This, in connection with the instance
of the young woman in the western part
of the city, which we mentioned few
days since, shows the Importance OF being
perfectly assured that the person is de-
ceased before the body is taken to the
grave for interment.
1t has been suggested by some person,
as test of this fact, to burn some portion
of the body with a hot irons and II lite IS
not extinct, it is said blister will rise,
but if there is no life, there will be no
blister.

RESTRAINT ON MARRIAGE.-The Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania have re-
Gently made decision reversing one
made in the Court below, in which the
question of restraint on marriage was in
volved. The facts of the case are thus
briefly stated in letter to the Philadel-
phia News:
Some time since, gentleman died and
left his estate to his "dear and loving
wife, on conditions that she would "nev-
er again marry" Thinking it not "good
to live lone aoi1der.' she appealed to
| the Court-the Hon. Ellis Lewis presid-
| ing-to "help her out of the scrape. =
His Honor, to his infinite credit, and her
great satisfaction. declared the will in
valid and contrary 'to the laws of nature
and of nations" and in most eloquent
and philosophical 'opinion, spoke as fol-
lows:
Marriage is wise regulation in har-
mony with nature and religion, and is the
only efficient preventative of licentious-
ness.
''It is the appropriate regulation of that
great instinct of nature which was design
ed by the Creator to replenish the earth.
"Ihe principle Of reproduction stands
next in Importance to its elder born CO.
relative, self preservation, and is equally
fundamental law of existence. 1t is
the blessing which tempered with mercy
the justice of expulsion from Paradise
1t was impressed upon the human crea-
ton by benehcent Providence to null
tiply the images of himself, and thus to
promote his own glory and the happiness
of his creatures. Not man alone, but the
whole animal and vegetable kingdom,
are under an imperions necessity to obey
its mandate. From the lord of the forest
to the monster of the deep-from the sub
tlety of the serpent to the innocence Of
the dove-from the elastic embrace of the
mountain kalmia to the decending fruc-
tiication of the lilly of the plain, all ma
ture bows submissively to this primeval
law. Even the flowers which perfume
the air with their fragrance and decorate
the forests and fields with their hues, are
but but "catytains TO tile muptiaL 6cd."
Had the matter rested here, everything
would have gone on as ''merrily as the
marriage bell, but, alas. it was "carried"
to the Supreme Court, and there the
"widow's JOY was turned into mourning"
by his honor, Judge Gibson, who, most
unpoetically declaring Judge Lewis to
have imbibed wrong, but beautiful notions
upon the subject, reversed his decision,
and upset his theory in the following
"sledge hammer style:
81 know of no policy on which such
point could be rested, except the policy
which, for the sake of division of labor,
would make one man maintain the chill
dren of another. 1t would be extremely
difficult to say why husband should not
leave homestead to his wife without
being compelled to let her share it with a
successor TO his bed, and to use it as a
nest to hatch brood of strangers to his
blood
