The REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA republic of
Liberia is progressing slowly but surely. The
terprise is great one; but for some otner
we are unable to explain it has not met with it's
due share of public attention. A prejudice exists
in the minds Of our coored population in relation
to the colony, and hence the difficulty. Within a
year or two, however, this has materially softened,
and hence the prospects Of Liheria are beginning
to brighten Sixty emigrants recently sailed from
New York under the management of the State
Colonization Society, and IA we learn, five hun.
dred are about to depart from Norfolk and two
hundred from New Orleans. II should be remem
bered that the existence of the republic Of Liberia
as a nation has been formally acknowledged by
some Of the great European powers. The native
chiefs in the neghborhood have abandoned all
hostility, the arts Of peace are prospecting, and
active trade lie sprnging up. May we not hope
that the cornerstone of great empire Of the
lored race has been laid in Liberia2

the United States circuit court at Philadelphia,
charged the jury Tuesday, in favor of the heirs OF
Stephen Girart, who claim eleven tracts of land
in schuykill county, valued at one million
hundred thousand dollars. The ground of the de-
osion is, that when Girard's will was made he did
not own the entire title to the lands, and that
therefore the will imperative. The jury rendered
verdict in favor Of the heirs. The case will pro-
badly go TO the Supreme Court.

VALUE OF A LIBRARY TO POOR SruDENT-One
of the most interesting incidents in the carly his
tory of the famous men of country is related
of Dr. Bowditch. the learned translator Of La
Place. During the Revolutionary war, a privateer
from Salem captured a vessel and brought the
prize into that port. A valuable private library
were a rare prize for those days, and young Bow
ditch borrowed number from the person having
them in charge. The volumes were retained longer
wee ascertained that the young student was so de-
sirous of procuring the works, and his means were
too slender for him to dare hope of purchasing
them and he actually copied twenty folio and
quarto volumes of scientific works, which were of
great service to him books of reference in after
years. These manuscript volumes are now in the
possession of the cons Of DR.. Bowditch and
highly priced
The facilities afforded students in the branch
of science to which the talents of Dr. Bowditch
were devoted, appear in striking contrast with tho

Bangor, jos Nj. True and wife, foT merly instruc
tors at Lincoln Academy, obtained a verdict of
$4,000 against David r. Plumby, a prominent
cinzcn of that town, for Islander. The defendant
had repeated serious charges against the chastity

justify them by evidence to convict her OF adultery
but the testimony of the plaintiffs was strongly
against the truth OF the charges, that the jury
