HUSBAND AND WIrE.-Among some
who have read Blackstone, aud who have
mot, an opinion prevails, that. a husband
may chas,isc his wife, provided the weapon
be not thicker than his little finger. For
the honor OF England We wish wc could
pronounce this opinion as legally errone-
Gus, rs 1t is nngalant and borbarous. 1t is
much to the credit Of our ancestors on the
other side OF the Atlantic, that they have
not carried with them this relic of The once
savage state OF their ioreiatlIers. In II case
which came before the Supreme Court of
South Carolina, some years ago. the prcsi-
ding Judge summed up an admirable view
OF thelaw ofthe Republic, on the matrimoni-
al relation by quoting these lines from the
"iloncy Noon which may be said 10 con-
tam also the law of humanity on the sub
lcct:--
The man that lays his hand upon woman.

Court Dress of aYoungs Woman from
III a- F RostOn Ns-' >a

We fiG,l in ap English paper the follow
+ ing description Of tho dress worn by Miss
Lawrence. the daughtor OF our Minister To
Engls:fd, at d late drawing room, where she
was presented 10 the Queen Of England:--
.sl'rain nof rich white More, trimmed with
bouilloncs Of tulIc and bouquets of roses de
Mai lined with white glace, with three
skirts of tulle, looped with chaldsnc of
roscsde Mai; blond berth. Head dress.
Feathers, blonde lappets, and diamonds
Ornaments Diamonds"
We have an idea that this costume
would contrast somewhat curiousiy with
the Sunday go-to-mccting apparel OF Miss
IIawrcnce's grand mother Lot us sec.
The old lady, il we mistake not, was the
wife of q poor but decent Iabnring farmer
s Her costume must have been about as fol-
lows: Bodice and skirt OF linscy woolsny,
spun, woven, cut out, and made up with her
own hands; lonprd a, the sides with both
hands, when the road to church happened
to be muddy
She had no "blomle Jerihes" We believe,
although as some o! tho Lawrcnccs are OF
fair complexion, she may have had several
births of blondes. Head dress, a mob cap.
Ornainent, a contontcl smile ON the lips.
and a prayer book or bible III the hrnd.
High bcelcd boots of kip leather laced above
the ancle, and pattcns III wet weather
Lordt if the old woman could only wake

astonish her republican simplicity, especial

A NEW TOWN!!!

TOHNSTONSPORT, Wapello CO. Iowa
u is beautifully situated on an eminence
"a rolling bluff,) on the west bank of the
Des Moines river, and in the heart of a
country; which as it regards beauty of see
merry and fertility of soil is surpassed by
none.
The location is favorable to make it even
tually become great commercial port on
the river, being the nearest point to Prince
ton (now Albia) the county seat of Mon :
roe county, and the road between passing
through a most delightful country, on one
continuous, rich, rolling dividing ridge, with
out stream to interrupt in the way.
Building timber, clay for brick, lime, sand
and rock; and what is yet still better, stone
coal in abundance, can be had in the imme-
date vicinity of this place.
When the River Improvement is COM
pleted and dam No IL. with 81 feet lift, is
erected near this place, it will afford hy-
draulic power to propel any amount of ma
chinery, and Johnstonsport in addition to
her commercial advantages may truly he
called a second Lowell in point of advan-
tages for manufacturing.
Merchants and Mechanics please call and
see for yourselves the reality of these things
before YOU locate elsewhere. Lots will be
sold low And on very accommodating terms
to first settlers.
There will be sale of Lots in Johnstons :
port on WEDNESDAY the Sd of April, 1850.
