FEMALE OlNANENTs.-A miser, COM
menting upon different styles of fashiona-
BILE jewelry, expresses his surprise at the
apparently growing taste for ornaments
fashioned in the shape of " reptiles" and
says: "When we see a beautiful young
lady with a serpent clasping her arm, we
think Of the Apostle, and wonder why
she does not shake it off," Wenever had
such an idea: but only wondered how
much of Mother Ewes disposition still
fingered in the sex, and we have had
lurking notion that women are proud of
the feminine power displayed at the Temp
tation, and sport theserpent as emblemat-
lc OF sovereignty.
4 FAST PEOPLE.-Thc St. Paul Mlnne-
Sotial, Of the 25th ult., is responsible for
the following. 1t is fast way of doing
business, and beats Australia and Cali
fornia all hollow:
One of Miss E-'s pupils, Young
lady, stepped into the school room the
other morning, and commenced gathering
up her books, stating that she was sorry
that she was compelled to leave the
school.
For what reason!" mildly inquired
the astonished teacher.
"Oh, was married last evening, that's
all"
Why did you not inform me before 2"
For the simple reason" replied the
blooming bride, s'that did not know it
myself until during the same afternoon
he never asked me till them
To BE HUNG.-Our readers will remem-
Der horrible affair which occurred more
than a year ago, at St. Joseph, Mo-, in
which merchant named Willard, was
cruelty whipped to death by man named
Jennings, and others. Jennings was
tried and found guilty of murder in the
first degree, in the Circuit Court of that
county, and appealed. We learn now,
from the Western Reporter of the l4th
inst, that the Judgment of the Circuit
Court has BEEN affirmed. The day fixed
by the Circuit Court for the execution
having elapsed, the Supreme Court has
ordered him to be executed ON the I'd day
of September next.
CONTESTED ELECTioN.-In the Memphis
District, Tennessee. in which Stanton,
Dem, is elected to Congress over Yeager,
Wing, by majority of two votes, we
learn that the right of the former to his
seat will be contested. Two votes were
thrown out in one of the districts which
would have made the result tie. The
Memphis Hhig thinks that the Governor
will withhold Stanton S commission, and
order new election.
AMAGNIFICENT BRIBB. from
BuenoS Ayres state that the amount paid
to Commodore Coe and his squadron,
by the city of Buenos Ayres, to abandon
trquisa and terminate the blockade of
the city, was half million of dollars
accounts from Montevideo state that
there was great dissatisfaction in the camp
of the besiegers, and hopes were expressed
that we'll directed brides might be effec-
tual In that quarter also. Nothing is
said about Crquisa, but he has probably
gone to Entire Rios, to look after matters
there.
RAPID GROWTH OF OREGoN-From the
first week in 1853 to the intelligence by
last dates, it appears that the amount of
immigration to the territory Of Oregon is
over 10000: which, added to the sc, 900
already settled on her soil, and the natu-
raj increase since the taking of the last
census, must bring her present population
up to $4,000 or $4,000. So that We may
safely calculate that Oregon will be the
next claimant for admission to the Union,
as State.
" 1t is said that sixty dozen bottles
OF Congress water are exported daily from
