IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania made, few weeks
since; the following important decision
under the new law for protecting the
rights OF married women. The guar
dianship of females under age is iermin-
ated by marriage, aud the husband before
the act of 1913. relative to the rights of
married women, might call on the guar
dian TO settle his account, and pay him
the balance; but that act has worked a
radical change in condition of married
women. BY the act of 184e, a5mar-
ried woman must be considered as single.
in regard to amy estate of whatever name
or sort owned by her before marriage or
which shall accrue to her during marriage,
in any way, and the husband is not en-
titled to the possession OF his wife's funds.

band shall have her funds. being aniinor,
is of no avail.

INCREASE OF PHILADELPHIA.-We have
recently, OH more than one occasions, al
luded to the rapid increase OF Philadel-
phia, and stated that she was overtakl'g
New York in population. if she had not
already done so. We had come to this
conclusion, not only from various circun-
stances aud facts that had come 10 our
knowledge, but also from personal obser-
vation in our visit to both cities during
the last summer and fall. The new
buildings erected in Philadelphia, during
the year 1913, were 3417, with proba-
bility of an equal number during the pres
ent wear. With all this, however, we
were not fully prepared tor the result OF
a recent census of the taxable Inhabitants
in Philadelphia. who it appears anonnt
to 1924. The Philadelphia Bulletin
estimates that this is basis Tor popu-
lation of 425 O62 In the Federal Censns
OF 1910, the population was 2oo' '4o4' ana
the above would therefore be All increase
of about 62 per cent. in nine years: Inc
census of 1885, we have no doubt. Will
shew that Philadelphia is the IdrgeSt CITY
in the Union, and that she has a greater
population than any city in Europe
London. Paris and Moscow only excepted.

GOOD SENSE WHERE 1T Is OFTEN ToUND.
The Boston Courier thus rational; " speaks
OF the Dissolutionists in Congres :--'.It is
hardly necessary to say that til sse gen
| tlemen who are so ready to talk in Con-
gress about dissolving the Union. entirely
mistake their vocation and the extent of
their legal powers. Not one ofshem has
credentials in his pocket for such a mis-
sion to the Federal city. Surprising and
incredible as the information riay he to
them, it is quite necessary to stase scr
their own enlightment and the quietng
of the apprehensions of many nervous
old gentlemen who read the newspapers
that representatives are not sent, to Con-
gress to dissolve the Union. Such a task
belongs to other hands. The Union was
formed by the people of the U. States
not by their representatives. When the
time comes to dissolve it, the work will be
done by the competent and legal authori-
ty, the people, and not by any represen-
talives, sane or insane. Let the bedlam-
ties in Congress talk as much as they
please of breaking up the Union; they
may as we'll talk of taking Constantine
pie. But we have not one particle OF
belief that this talk has any foundation
in a real desire to see the Union dissolv-
ed. 1t is quite eviden: that the very
loudest bawlers for disunion are under
the influence of very vulgar motives in
all they say or do at Washington. These
are the love OF place and the love Of pay.
There is not one among them whose bow
els do not yearn towards eight dollars a
day and mileage. There is not one
among them who. in his patriotic aspira-
tions, is not climbing in day-dreams aud
nightly visions to the top-galant of his
hopes in cabinet seat, ambassadorship
or some such comfortable Judgement
among the rigging of the Federal Gov
ernment Where would these things be
in disunion of the States? Where the
pay, the honors. and the authority of office
Look this matter full in the face and
there is no difficulty in discovering its
true features. Human nature is made OF
very homely materials, and all its artificial
dyes fail to disguise the real threads oi
the fabric from sharp eye Dissolution
lists, in spite of their bad logic and fustian
eloquence, know very well that they
make money out of the Union, and the
whole matter, varnish it as they will is
a question of property and pecuniary
gain. Let the question of putting an
end to the Union he seriously proposed
in a manner designed to lead to practical
be results, and we are mistaken if there
be no; ID most wonderful change OF opin-
ion among some people"

road decision has been made in a court in
Virginia The Portsmouth and Roanake
Railroad was attached by its creditors,

the rails. On complaint, he was prose-

Railroad was granted by the legislature
as public convenience, HtghaOaH and
that neither the Company nor individu-

SUICIDE OF A MINIsTER.-A telegraphic
despatch fom Cincinnati, dated the 18th
inst, says:
The Rev. Mr.. Perkins, pastor of the
Unitarian Church in this city. committed
suicide last night by jumping from the
ferry boat whilst crossing the river. He
left his cloak, hat aud memorandum
book on board. There was no doubt,
from previous indications, that he was
laboring under the effects of temporary
insanity. He was much esteemed by all,
and leaves an interesting family.

we became indebted for the Red Rose:
They were all of a pire and spotless white

leaves to the morning sunlight Of creation.
Eve, as for the first time she gaZed upon
the tintless gem, could not suppress her
admiration Of its beauty, but stopped down
and impressed a warm kiss upon its snowy
bosom. The rose stole the scarlet tinge
from her velvet lip, and yet wears it.

As none o: our newspapers seem to know
the occasion Of this capture we will give
it on English authority. The Govern.
ment of Honduras being considered in

steamer Plumper went in and demanded
payment. The reply of the Governor

A BOLD PIECE OF VILLAINY.-Ak keg

A BOLD PIECE OF VLLAINY-A keg OF
powder was recently placed beneath the
Congregational Westinghouse at Enfield,
Massachusetts, and a slow match laid to
it, for the purpose of blowing up the
building. The powder was accidentally
discovered, and the plan frustrated before
the originators had carried out their too
evident purpose. A concert was soon to
have been given in the church, and some
think that that time was set for the ex-
plosion. The Ware Gazette says the
presumed object of this diabolical outrage
was revenge upon certain proprietors OF
the church, who had taken active mea-
sures to put down the sale of liquors in
that town, by prosecutions. There is a
clue 10 the individual who is supposed to
have arranged the plot.

AN UNLUcKY GUN.--Several years ago,
MIR. Benjamin. F. Miller, who resides
near Washington, in Rappahanock coun-
ty, had n favorite negro boy whom he
often took with him in his hunting excur-
sions. On a certain occasion he took his
Gun out to shoot birds near his father S
house; the boy followed him as usual;
and either forgetting or not observing the
boy, between whom and his master were
some thick bushes, he shot the bird and
killed the boy at the same time.
In November last, a man name OF
J Johnson, also Of that county, had balted
some wild turkeys, and had concealed
himself amid the limbs of fallen pine
tree near the place to await their ARRIVAL.
Another gentleman, named Fletcher, who
had by some means possessed himself OF
.Johnson's gun, was hunting turkeys in
the ueighborhood, aud passing near the
tree under which Johnson was concealed,
and attracted by noise among the
branches, catching glimps of Johnson s
head, who had on a black fur cap. he
fred and the unhappy man fell, exclain-
ing: Lord have mercy OH me! and lmme'
dialeiy expired.
The unlucky gun was purchased OF Mr.
Fletcher 10y gentleman named Cnrran'
who resides near Flint Hill, Rappahanock
county; and few weeks ago 1t was
agaiu the instrument Of death TO human
being, Mr.. Curran was hunting turkeys
near the dwelling OF his brother-ln-law'
Mr.. George w. Compton, and coming
to some thick bushes, among wlIlch were
grapes and seeing something winch he
supposed to be turkey, without taking
a closer observation he fired, and the
unfortunate object proved to be the
daughter of Mr. Compton, aged nine or
ten years She lived until the next day
and expired.

COL WELLER AND Mr.. GRAY.-Mr
Gray's statement of the affray that lately
took place between him and Col. Weller
at San Francisco, having appeared in the
N. Y. Express, we extract the following
from letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer
from an officer Of the Boundary Commits
sion:
am greatly grieved to be the channel
of unpleasant intelligence to his nume-
rous friends in Ohio, but it will doubtless
reach the States, and possibly in pre-
judiced shape; therefore inducing me to
mention that on the afternoon OF the 29th,
Col. Weller was shot through the thigh
and pretty seriously wounded with "a
pistol-bad. but not dang ngerously-by MIR.
Grav, the U. S. Surveyor The latter
had Just come in with Col. Collier) from
an exploring tri p across the country about
half way to the Colorado, and had report
ed that he had discovered new and
favorable route over, which is much near
er than the old one. Col. Weller, in
presence of large number Of friends,
was testing with Mr.. Gray, in the best
good humor ridiculiHg the idea of his
having made any new discovery. Gray
was intoxicated, and taking every thing
in earnest, pronounced the Colonel's in-
sinuation false. When demonstrated
with, he became more emphatic, and
again, in a more obnoxious manner, de-
claring it falsehood. On repeating it a
third time, the Colonel struck him blow,
and parties interfered. in which short in
fore any one could defeat his purpose, the
Colouel narrowly escaping fatal wound.
He is doing very well. and, under "Old
Medicine care, will be about again IN

Ma. WEBsrER AND THE HuNGAR1ANs.-

MIR. WEBSTER AND THE HUNGARIANS.-
Mr.. Webster being at the Astor House
| for short time, the Hungarian eXiles,
now the free guests Of that hospitable
establishment, called upon the distinguish
ed statesman in body, on the 18th inst,
at his room. The venerable Ujhazy late
Governor of Comorn, with all his family
and suite, was introduced to Mr. and Mrs.
! Webster by Count Vass-another Hun
garian exile-who in the course of four
mouths has learned to express himself in
the Eaglieh language with perfect pro-
priety. Ujhazy addressed M. Webster
with much feeling in the following words:
SU-Strangers and in strange land,
in the midst of our misfortunes, we came
to America to seek an asylum here.
Power cannot stretch it's hands so far as
to reach us in this Western World
secure.
In one Of your late speeches you ex-
pressed sympathy for US, in the midst
of our distress, which has penetrated our
hearts. We thank you. We pray you
to encourage the same feelings. to con-
tinue in the same sympathy. and so to
mitigate our sorrows.
We look to America for kindness and
protection; we look to you, sir, for counsel
aud for consolation; and that Power
which sees all things, and governs all
will not fail in its reward to your gene
rous mind.
MIR. Webster, taking the Governor by
the hand, made the following reply:
| give you my hand with pleasure
We are glad to see you and your friends.
The effort which you have so gaIlantIy
made for Hungarian nationality and Hun
garan liberty has won our hearts. We
are honored that you have sought an
asylum here from the political msfortunes
which you have suffered at home. Our
sympathies are with you and for you, and
for those objects of your affections which
you have left behind you. The whole
American people take an interest i'll your
efforts for liberty and independence. The
blow of power which struck down your
hopes fell heavily also on our own hearts
In the midst of your misfortunes, you
come far away to land of strangers in
search of safety. Here you find it. Here
we assure it to you. M enemy's hand
shall harm or touch you. Hungarians.
you are all welcome! You, who have
come, and your friends who shall come,
will all find here sympathy, protection
and security. Again l say. sir, your
gallantry, your love of liberty, and your
misfortunes, have made you welcome to
all Americans.
Ujhazy. when this speech was inter
preted to him by Count Vass, was affected
to tears and desired the Count to say,
that God would not forget such conside-
rate and such generous sympathy.

they constructed hut, in which they
lived without being seen by any human

at last with their stolen enjoyments, they
have just abandoned their seclusion, and
returned to the abodes of men, where
they were instantly seized and condemned
to the usual fine. They mad, for fear of

most of what was necessary for the sup
port OF life in the night, and lurked in

the following account OF a trial at the lat,
Circuit and Oyer and Terminer for Wash
ington country. Judge Willard, presiding
William Welch indicted for manslaugfl
ter in the 4th degree. for killing his wife
tried and found guilty.
The evidence showed that OH the night
of the 5th of September last, the prisoner,
with his wife and child, "a babe fourteen
months old) were coming home in one
horse wagon-that the prisoner was
drunk and ran his horse violently down
several hills; and upon his wife trying 10
stop him, commenced whipping the horse
that he drove furiously, when the box
was thrown of, and the wife aud child
precipitated to the ground, breaking the
wife's leg so badly that the bone pro.
truded several inches through the flesh.
Physicians who attended her testified that
the injury received led to lockjaw, and
the premature birth of child, from which
she died. 1t was also proved that the
attendants upon the woman were com.
PEELED to conceal the liquor obtained to
dress the wound, TO prevent the brutal
husband from drinking it. The details
