SuGARHoUsE BURNr.-On Thursday last, sth
inst, at o'clock, A. NJ, the sugarhouse of Mr..
Cyprien Larose Fontenot, near Flat Town, in
this parish, was destroyed by fire with 100 hogs
heads of sugar and all of the molasses. We
are informed that neither the sugarhouse nor
the sugar and molasses were insured, and that
the loss is very great. The fire was the result
of an accident.-Opelousas Courier, 10th inst.
BgaP The North Carolina twins, now exhibit
ing in Charleston, are thus described by the
Courier:
Christian and Milly, the little objects now re-
ferred to, are united to each other at the lower
extremity of the spine the vertebsa, of what
ANTAGONISTS call the os sacrun, being so blended
as apparently to form but one bone, common to
the two children The pelvic organs are entirely
distinct, with the single exception of common
termination of the intestine canal. Below the
junction their thighs, legs and lower extremities
are again separate and distinct, and they can
stand, or walk, or occupy sitting or incumbent
postures, at will, and either can lie down while
the other is sitting.

Tur PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-The following
:. the estimate placed upon the Message by the
Courier des Etats-Unis, very able French
n.ner strictly neutral in politics. published daily
in New York:
.Amoug the innumerable readers Of the Mes
sooe we are undeniably one Of those who are
hound by every necessity to study most closely
10 meaning its construction, and its bearing,
oven in the minutest details. The exigencies of
Tho nrocess of translating the necessity for find
inc for each word faithful equivalent in
ether language-has not permitted us to let es-
cane shade of thought, or shade of express
sion. And now, after the accomplishment Of
this work, you ask what information or what in
ference we have been able to draw from it.
1.-THE only seizable doctrine, through the laby-
r;nth of obscure and uncertain phrases, would
incline us to represent Mr.. Pierce as an advo-
cate of the utmost possible restraint Of federal
aular. in an administration which tried six
weeks ago by every possible means to bear upon
the New York Elections, and that, too, in di-
rection opposed to the South. This was, it seems
tous to start with double violation of the
nrinciple which is now propounded. Moreover,
in what circumlocation is this principle en-
veloped 1t almost has to be made an object of
conjecture The tortuous style twists itself
most inextricably in the very spots where we
had right to expect the free and frank express
sion of a decided opinion. Mr.. Pierce has
peculiar way of treating, or to speak more just
~, of twisting questions. By this strange sys-
tenn, the mind, lost amid the folds of an mex
plicable phraseology, never succeeds in Selling
with clearness the thought which ought to have
guided of the writer. The generalization of
principles is pushed so far that it ends by falling
into an indefnable void And this system is SO con-
stantly employed, that we are tempted to see in
it the effect of determination to avoid
every positive declaration, every compromising
expression, in a word every promise and every
engagement. The experience Of the last six
months, however, indicates that we should rather
see in this the effect of thoroughly irresolute
character, and of a timid policy which takes the
absence expressed opinion for moderation of
principles Under this view, the Message justi-
ies yet once more, in striking way, the cele-
brated saying, 1.-The style is the man." It
forms at the same time the most absolute con-
trast with the documents of the same class
which came from the pen Of Mr.. Fillmore, SO
frank and explicit. Heaven grant that the con-
trast may not pass from language to events"

AN EXCELLENT JokE.-The Lynchburg
(Va.) Express states that among the many
beautiful strangers who graced the bail
given in that city to Thomas S. Bocock and
his lovely bride appeared one who was III
troduced as the daughter of a distinguished
gentleman from Wythevlle, now member
of the board of public works. The surpas-
sing loveiness of her face, the gracetulness
of her form, her engaging manners, and the
d'sttngue style of her dancing, added 10 the
respect entertained in this city tor her father,
made her bell at once. Crowds OF fashion,
able young gentlemen thronged around her,
soliciting the honor of her hand tor the
dance. Each We'd with the other in paying
her the most delicate attentions, and the
jealousy which naturally springs up among
rivals was on more than one occasion vlsl-
BILE among the applicants for the "next set"
Indeed, but for the modest, kind yet tar
demeanor of the fair stranger, there is no
telling what collision might have taken
place among the wrangling suitors. Nor
were the attractions paid her confined to
the opposite sex. Many of our loveliest
ladies sought an introduction to her, and
invited her 10 their homes. She regretted
her inability to accept the inequalities
tenn Tered to her, and pleaded as an excuse
that she was about to leave the next day tor
school, in Richmond 1t is said that at least
half dozen young gentlemen were engaged
TO escort her to supper, and that no end OF
money was privately expended with hack
men TO convey her home. But, behold:
when supper was announced the lovely Miss
B. was nowhere to be found. strict
search was instituted, but to no purpose.
The hi ri had Aown and manv vonnp Oen.
tlemen were inconsolable because of her
flight. Champagne failed to solace them,
and so many seats were taken for Richmond
that an extra stage was ordered. When
morning came, however, what was the as
constituent and Indignation Of the enamored
gentlemen to learn that their fascinating
acquaintance was a handsome youth OF
Lynchburg, dressed in his sisters clothes.
It was even so. Two of our sprightliest
bells, unable by reason ofclergical interdic-
ton to attend the ball, determined to have
their own fun out oft; and accordingly
dressed up their brother in full suit of
female gear, painted his cheeks, crowned
him with a garland of flowers, instructed
him in the mysterious art of managing his
strange attire, and. giving him letter of
introduction to one of the managers, put
him into hack and bid him God speed
The gallant manager, proud of his fair
charge. displayed miraculous energy in
introducing her to everybody; the young
lady boy played his part so admirably that
the devil himself would never have suspec-
ted him, and the trick passed off so success
fully that it is now universally and justly
accounted the best thing that ever happened
in Lynchburg.

Breach of Promise Case-Interesting De
cision.

A correspondent of the Paducah Pennant,
writing from Benton: gives the following re-
port Of suit for breach Of marriage contract:
The Marshall Circuit Court has just
closed its abors after week of asslduous
labor and unremtting toll. The exciting
case of the Court was that of Mrs. Caroline
Cornwel VS. Benshaw, for breach of promise
Of marriage and seduction. The plaintiff
was proven TO be young widow of good
reputation an | that defendant had been in
the habit of visiting her frequently for some
four years past; that she gave birth to
child last fall: that defendant ceased his at
tentions some time during the last spring
that he had on several occasions expressed
that he regarded her as worthy and good
enough for any man, and on one occasion
added that he did not know that he could
get her, and if he could it would not suit
him, as she had two children, and he would
not marry a woman with two children; that
on several occasions whilst he was visiting
her. she expressed to others her love and
affection for him. and said they were to be
MARI ID, and that she intended to have him
if she could get him. There was some
evidence goingfto establish improprieties
and immoralites on her part. Ruled by the
Court, that the attentions of single gentle
man TO a single lady, of a character usually
paid by gentlemen addressing lady on
matrimonial subjects, is evidence from
which promise of marriage may be in-
ferred that the expression Of love and affec-
ton, and an intention of accepting, and the
statements Of an agreement to marry on the
part Of plaintiff during the attention of de-
PENDANT, is evidence to prove that plaintiff
had accepted the propositions. and thereby
made the contract mutual but could not
establish the promise of defendant, but such
promise must be established by other evil
dence.
That the promise must have been made
within one year before the bringing Of the
suit, and that plaintiff must have offered to
defendan, before the commencement OF the
suit, to consumate the contract. That if the
plaintiffs conduct had been so unchaste or
immoral, as to render it improper for a res
pectable man to marry her, this absoIved
him unless he made such promise after he
knew of such conduct, that if he addressed
her for the purpose of seduction, and prom
ised marriage, and after such promise, and
seduction and abandonment by defendant,
and refusal to consummate the contract, plain
tiff was guilty of immoral conduct, such
could not defeat her right Of action but
would 60 in mitigation of damages. That
if he courted and promised marriage to her,
and that she was then chaste vlrtuous
woman, and he seduced her, and she has
not since been guilty Of immoral or unchaste
conduct with others than the defendant, this
should be taken in aggravation of damages.
After retirement of two hours the jury
returned verdict for plaintiff Of five hun
dred and four dollars. Motion in arrest of
judgment made; continued for want of time
to dispose of it. The cause created much
feeling and excitement.

The Cosr OF "STR1KEs"-It was stated
at late meeting of operatives in Preston,
that in one strike of the cotton spinners in
Manchester, which lasted four months, they
spent f40O, 900 in loss Of wages alone, and
in two others they lost f6OO, 900. In another
strike at Stockport the spinners lost f6OO, 900
in wages, and in different strikes the wool
combers Of Bradford lost f4OO. 900; the Me-
chanics of Leeds, flsO00O the operatives
of Lancashire, $4,000; GOLFERS Of North

the losses by the strikes at Stockport and
Preston in 1S4s, make total of $4,000 900

had been spent in vain. as in nine out Of ten
cases the strikes completely failed in their

DErEeTED.-A young lady of highly respect
able connections, dressed herself in male attire,
in Albany, N. Y, few evenings since, and
visited several fashionable drinking shops, in
the assumed character Of SO a nice young man."
She was doubtless cured of all desire to repeat
the folly, On learning from the next days Knick-
erboeker, that she was recognized at every place
she visited
