A CENTENARIAN.-There is now living in
Townshend, VT, colored woman, named Sn-
sauna Huzzay, who has attained the age of Io3
years. Her husband was slave in Massachu-
sets, and won his FREEDOM by enlisting in the
revolutionary service and serving during the war.
The old woman now enjoys pension of So6 Der
annum, and has recently made application for
bounty lands, under an old statute of Massaehu-
sets. /.
A MAINE EDITOR says that the adoption of
the Liquor law has infused great activity into
the medicine business Mint juleps are bought
at the druggists under the head of vegetable to-
MICS, while sherry cobblers are only known as
inspired cordwainers. The people of Maine
may not consume as much ardent spirit as for
merly, but the way then indulge in medicine is
a caution.

The Mount Holly IN. j. Mirror thus noti-
ces the changes in the good fortune of Prince
Murat
''There are very many in our county who re-
member Prince Lucien Murat, the sporting
good natured SOUL who formerly dwelt at one
corner of the late Joseph Bonaparte's estate at
Bordentown; living, no one knew hardly how
wild and enthusiastically flush with money, to-
morrow not shot in the locker.
"Well, this same jorial prince has given
practical illustration of the truthfulness of
Shakspeare's saying, that there's tide in the
affairs of man which, if taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune The election of Louis Napoleon
was flood tide with him; for he and his family
are now at the head of the heap in France
rich, courted, living in grand, royal, superb
style.
Tile has risen from his obscurity at Borden
town. where he so often enjoyed his punch and
wine with boon companions or startled the
wood cock along the low banks of the Delaware,
and been summoned to the height of whatever
fame the French President has to lend him.
He wears the velvet uniform of Senator: his
finances are said to flourish; and his offspring
are greeted with every promise of having a po-
sition and making noise in the world, as the
following notice, taken from u Partisan paper

the settiemoIt OF tho boundary between the two
Governments 'yvestward of the Rocky Noun

seek to land and deliver 'sgoods and wares'' at
Americans ports without paying duty. More re-
Gently some of them, it is said have gone so far
to adrertiSe to transport merchandise from one
American port to another; thus interfering with
coasting trade, which the vessels of no nation
are permitted to do. Notice has been repeat
edly given to them, by the American Custom
House officers in Oregon, that these liberties
could not be permitted and finally formal no.
tice was served on one of them by the Collector
at Astoria, that for any future infractions of
the revenue laws of the United States he should
proceed against them forthwith condemning

matters to crisis The notice was commune
Gated to the agents of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany by the shipmaster upon whom it was serv
ed, and by them communicated to the British
Government at home. 1t was then made the
subject of consideration in Council, and Her
Maesty's Secretary for Foreign Affairs there
upon transmitted the documents to the British
Minister at Washington, with instructions to
bring the matter to the attention of the Govern
ment of the United States, to the end that the
American authorities in Oregon might be ad-
vised that they were themselves guilty of infrac-
lions Of the treaty stipulations between the two
Governments and that the Collector at Astoria
might be instructed to withdraw the notice he
had served upon the masters of British mer-
chantmen on the Pacific coast.
1t is further stated that Mr.. Champion has re-
Gently obeyed the orders Of his government in
good temper, but with rather tart language, and
that the whole matter is now before the Ameri-

MOUTH OF North RIvER.-We are pleased
TO see the large quantity of produce that passes
through this place for the canal at the mouth of
inc North River. great deal, we learn, is
taken from other directions to that point, and
that the quantity deposited there for transpor
tatlon is very great. 1t argues we'll for the bu
slness OF the North River Canal. Even with
the North River Improvement completed, this
and North Rivers, must be a place Of cons;daros
BILE trade The two canals uniting there will
necessarily make it so. The tendency of the
trade, from the lower end of this county and
the upper end of Augusta is now towards the
canal. linus this improvement has Just reversed
the course of trade and it will continue to do so
even with the Central Railroad completed
to Staunton. The cheapness and better adap-
tation OF the canal transportation will produce
this result. Before next Fall we predict that
large and profitable trade from the counties
West of this will seek its depot at the mouth of
the North River.-Lerington Gazette.

Two THIEVES LYNCHED ON The OHfo!-
During the trip of the steamer Prairie cay
from Cincinnati to this port "Wednesday night,
a couple of chaps were seen proving about
the C., bin in suspicious way and Capt Ko-
binson, the Captain, placed watch over
them, at the same time keeping an eye Oh
their movements himself. At a late hour he
observed that they had put all the lights out
but the one in the hall. Soon after they en-
tered two state rooms occupied BY passengers
by means of outsiders,and the Captain caught
one of the rascals in the very act of robbing
one of his fellow passengers He took the
fellow on the spo', and whipped him severely
and then catching the other rascal served
him the same dose. Afterwards the rogues
were tied to the capstan, and just before
the boat arrived at Madison, committee OF
the passengers waited on the two chaps, and
gave them good dressing with ropes end.
Their names are Kelly and Kennedy both
were known to our police. One of them was
put off at Madison, and the other above Uti-
ca, and we have no doubt they came to the city
last night ON the Madison packet.
