THE MAINE LEG1sLATuRE.-The Legislature
of this State adjourned on Wednesday, the 18th
inst, after a session Of a little more than three
months. The homestead exemption bill, SO
called, passed both branches, and has been
signed by the Governor. 1t exempts real estate
to the value of five hundred dollars, and if a
debtor is not the owner of real estate to that
value, then five hundred dollars worth of per-
sonal property must be by him selected in addi-
ton to the specific exemptions already provided
for. The change is not to affect existing debts.
change of the time of holding the sessions of
the Legislature passed both branches on Tues
day, in such form as to extend the term of Gov

to January, 1851.

LOST H BETA good looking and jovi-
al friend of ours, a day or two since, related in
our presence the following:
At one of sour first hotels, a stout, red-faced
gentleman, in a white beaver, blue coat and
buff vest, offered to wager a 'ten spot" that he
could close his eyes, and simply by taste, name
any sort of liquor in the house. The bet was
taken, and the process of winning Or losing

wine glass-"and this is-whiskey," and 50

A wag then poured few drops of pure water
into the glass and handed it to the connois-
eur-"This-ah-this is tasting AGAIN.

DeclOuet and Kenner.

These two gentleman, says the Planters
Banner, whom the wing party have freely call
ed into the field to contend for the interests OF
the State, will give their opponents a battle
that will remind them of the events Of last
November. D~eclouet and Kenner are just the
men that Louisiana needs to carry her through
the imnortant crisis at which she has arrived.
Thev are full of the spirit of 49-Walker and
Plauche are like the Anticipated relics of olden
times-they have neither the spirit, nor the en-
terprise necessary to qualify them for important
posts in these days of progress and reform.
Their ideas, feelings, and hopes are waning with
age, they are better fitted for retirement and
the peaceful retreat of home than for guiding
the destinies of an enterprising people.
Louisiana is just becoming the theatre of
important events-movements are being made
which, if directed by vigorous minds will place
the State upon the high road to prosperity. We
want the government of our State in the hands
of those who will foster the industry of the
State, who are in faovr of opening the naviga-
ton to all important ~ections of the State, who
will favor the increase of manufactures among
us, and encourage all movements which may
make property more valuable, and our citizens
less dependent upon the north.
Louisiana has the elements of wealth, indie
pendence, prosperity and health to the greatest
abundance, and the men who will help develope
these are the men for the State. No policy can
be found so congenial to the interests of Louis
lana as the Wing policy, and no man has better
wing principles than Alexander Declouet;
and no man would push reform and improve
ment with a more vigorous hand than he

FIRST Towns IN AMERIcA.-The National
1ntelligencer relates the following curious facts.
which will be new to many of our readers:
It will seem curious to those who are not
aware of the fact, that the first towns built by
Europeans upon the American continent were
st. Augustine, in East Florida, and Santa Fe,
the capital of New Mexico. The river ella was
explored before the Mississippi was known, and
gold was sought in California long ere the first
white man had endeavored to find a home on
the shores of New England. There are
doubtless trees standing within the fallen
buildings of ancient Panama, that had comment
ced to grow when the sites of Boston and New
York were covered with the primeval wilder
ness.

1--WE clip the following pithy remarks frcm
Chambers Journal:
"When a dirty little ragged boy is seen in the
streets in some of the large or more civilized
townshe is picked up by the authorities and sent
to school. He should in like manner be sent
to the pump-and this, you may depend upon
it, would be a great assistance to his education.-
When offenders are locked up in Jail, the first
process they have to submit to is that of being
washed and scrubbed. This is all very proper;
but surely it is and absurdity to show greater
solicitude for the health of jails than for the
health of dwelling houses. If the menhad been
washed in time, we question much whether
they would have become felons at all"

TEMPERANcE.-The board of Trustees of the
town of Jackson have passed resolutions re-
pealing the ordinances granting licence to keep
a tippling house, or to vend wine, ardent spirits
or any Intoxicating drinks in less quantity than
a quart within said corporation. 1t is further
resolved that any person allowing less than a
quart to be drunk On his premises, shall for
each and every such offence forfeit and pay not
less than ten, nor more than fifty dollars, reccv-
cradle before the Mayor for the use of the

A WEDDING SUIT AND A WINDING SHEET
The Rev. Mr.. Cooper, Bethel Chaplain at San
dusky, left the city during the prevalence of the
cholera, for one of the adjoining towns, to be
married. 1t having been reported that he left
through fear of the cholera, it is now stated,
upon authority, that he left to fulfil a long
standing engagement to be married, and died
the very morning appointed for the mar
rage.

SAD CASE OF sUIcIDE.-Dr. Bosworth, of
Vermillion county, Missouri, was drowned in
Ellison creek, a few miles from Burlington,
Iowa, lately. Papers found with him state that
since he left home he buried his wife and four
Children from cholera, and depression of spirits,
it is supposed, caused him to drown himself.
His horse and buggy were found where he had
drowned himself.

uLieut. Lynch, his notice of the Jews of
