PREJuD1cE.-It is no easy task to re-
move the prejudice with which in our in.

contend, especially when they have been
Of long standing and fairly acquiesced in.
Individuals are apt to Judge all men alike,
more particularly if they entertain deep.
seated feelings Of dislike toward a few
they become prejudiced against the many.
Some never think for themselves; nor act
by the advice of their own judgments,
they are accustomed to the lead of others,
while they followed-their preiudices
have been early formed. Others on the
other hand are overgrown with Profes.
sional prejudices, they are constantly cry.
ing out against this breach of professional
law and courtesy, that innovation against
established usages, they see the moat in
others eyes, but not the beam in their own.

man in England, that he is about to send
him some seeds of the Shantuug cabbage,

MIND YOUR OWN BUsINEss.-Tos tell
man to his face to mind his own busi-
ness, would be considered about equal to
knocking him down, or as the Frenchman
said, "horizcntalizing his perpendicular
ty." And yet it is one of the simplest
rules of right conduct, and one of the
most useful that mankind can adopt in
their intercourse with each other. There
is great deal of Paul Pry spirit in the
human heart, or wonderful inquisitiveness
in regard to the personal affairs of neigh
bors. This fault makes more mischief in
the community than almost any other
cause, and creates more malice. envy and
jealousy than eau be overcome in cer.
tury. Let every man mind his own busi.
ness and there will not be halfShe trouble
in the world that there is.

Fire.
Between 10 and l o'clock this morn
ing, the alarm of fire was given, and upon
repairing to the place, we fonnd that the
kitchen attached to the dwelling of our
fellow.townsman, Mr.. ]. NJ. Allen, situa-
ted in the rear of Mr.. Alex. Brodie's
Store, on the corner of Richardson and
Lumber streets, was enveloped in fame,
and the roof of the dwelling partially
burned, with a fair prospect of its being
consumed, but, all credit to the vigilance
Of the Independent Fire Engine Com
pany, and Capt. Monteith's Engine Com
pany, the dwelling was saved, though in
greatly damaged condition, notwith.
standing its close proximity to the burn
ing building, and doubtless prevented the
destruction of the property contiguous.
Our attention was particularly drawn
to the manly exertions of MIR. ]. ].
Mackey and Mr.. Peter Knapp, of the
Independents, and those OF Mr.. Jas.
Brown, and another, whose name we did
not rightly learn, both members Of the
Hook and Ladder Company, who, plac.
ing themselves within and upon the
burning building, in the midst of the
flame, render great service with axes and
hose-rire, in conqucring the devouring
element. Indeed, each and every mem.
Der of the Independent Fire Engine
Company displayed a commendablc zeal
the one apparently endeavouring to trans.
cend the other in serviccable perfor.
mances.
The fire originated, as we learn, in an
apartment attached to the kitchen, but il
is not known from what cause. In all
probability it was the result Of accident.
The property belongs to the estate oi
Thomas Mccullough, and was insured.
Mr.. Aliens furniture was fortunately y
saved.

ting case The Court of Common Pleas of Phil
adelphia county instructed the jury in the case,
that if they believed " that the defendant was
the tenant of the plaintiff, and rented the land
of him for farming purposes, and the mrnure was
made in the ordinary course of farming, and
was heaped up in the yard, and the defendant,
about the time his lease was TO expire. took the
manure (the subject of CONTROVERSY and hauled
it away, without the consent of the plaintiff,
when there was no authority given by the lease
for him to do so, the action can be sustained,
and the plaintiff will be entitled TO recover the
value of the manure that was in this manner Ia
ken and carried away" An appeal was taken.
and the Supreme Court sf6rmsd the decision.
