"DRcIDEDLY TAKES IN "a man In Phil
adelphia recently married a woman hhaer
the impression that she had the dimes, but
when he found It was not so, he complained
before the Mayor, and prayed for relief Tho
following are the facts ELECTED before the
police court:
A man with pair of whiskers, or rather
pair Of whiskers with something family res
semblingR man attached to them, appeared
before the municipal bench with an accusa-
ton against Clementine Derby, otherwise
Millet, who's according to the affirmation Of
the complainant, Abraham Millet, had swim:
died him out of his personal freedom BY in
ducing him to marry her, the said Clemeh-
tine, who proved afterwards, on close in:
spectioh, to be mere buudle of false pre-;
tences. Abraham, the man of whiskers;
had become acquainted with Miss Derby at
a reputable boarding house, where the lady
had fixed her temporary residence. She had
fine suit of brown hair, charming teeth,
and due proportion of roses and lilies in her
complexion, an innocent maidenly counte-
nance, a good figure and fortune of forty
thousand dollars Including rice planta-
ton, stocked with ninety-three negroes,
somewhere out south. Some of these at
fractions were visible to Mr.. Millet, but the
rice grounds and the negroes had never
been seen by him; they were merely objects
offaith, therefore, Miss Clementine gave
him such particular account of the proper
ty,the real estate especially, that Abraham
was quite satisfied with its reality.
After rapid courtship, they were married;
and then, said Mr.. Millet, 81 found her out"
Her line hair was merely wig, and when
; this was oil, her head was as naked as a san
dy desert; an unvegitable Sahara, without
. single oasis. Her charming teeth were all
porcelain; her roses and lilies chalk and
carmine; her exquisite figure, cotton wad-
ding; and as for her "maidenly innocence"
: observed Mr.. Mllet, very ruefully, 81 found
she had two children boarded out in Jersey,
one OF which children is dngy, curly headed
little fellow that looks prodigously like he
had African blood in him. STILL" said Mr..
Millet pursueing the subject. "the thought
: ofthe rice plantation out south, and the nine-
ty negroes, afforded me some comfort; but it
: want long before discovered that this PLAN
y y tation was SO confoundedly far ''out south,"
y that there was no coming at it; and as for
her niggers, guess she has none, except

FRoM THE pIAIxs-Emioranis Returning.

FRoM THE PLAISs-Emigrants Returning.
The steamer Yuba, from-the Missouri, ar
rived on Saturday morning, bringing down
between forty and fifty disheartened Califor-
MIA emigrants, who, after prosecutinga por-
ton of the journey-some from three to four
hundred miles--became discouraged, de-
clined the trip, and are now on their return
to their respective homes. They bring most
doleful and lamentable accounts of the pre-
valence ofthe cholera on the plains, and of
those who came down on the Yubn, several
have lost relatives and friends by cholera.
One poor family on the boat--a mother and
two children--are returning without the
husband and father, and four or FIVE little
ones.--The officers Of the Yuba do not re-
port much sickness at the different towns
along the river, but it is said there are sever
al hundred emigrunts at different points who
have taken the back track, and are now wal
ting conveyance by water to homes so re-
Gently deserted. The majority are quite des
titute Of means, and compelled to remain on
the river, until afavorable opportunity pre-
sents itself for coming down,
A Mr.. Wsddingham, who came down on
the Yuba, states that his company, consist
ing of thirty-nine men, Travelled out some
three hundred miles, but being overtaken by
the cholera, turned back after losing thir'
teen of their number. Another company
commanded by Captain Perry, which lef
about the same time with Mr.. Waddingham
lost fifteen; andyet another, composed o
about forty persons, whom Mr.. w. met OF
his return, has lost FIVE and were then al
sick but one. All accounts agree that
vast deal of sickness has been experiences
by almost every company going out, an
much suffering is yet to be endured. Tn

no member of the House corrected it.
