obntleman frAm Cincinnati; tb

A gentleman from Cincinnati, the other day, crossed over to one of the Kentucky towns, and seeing lady take passage for Ohio, was fascinated, and concluded to go back. The lady had in her hand 8 daguereotype, and the young Cincinnatian had the audac- ity to ask 5o look at it, that he might judge of its artistic beauty. The like ness was handed him, in and moment his assurance had so grown with his enthusiasm, that he begged to keep the counterfeit presentment. The lady told him that the picture went only with the bright original, and he then plead for both, and was accepted.-
 The happy pair left the boat in com pany.

 FRANKLIN PIERCE.-The ". '. Courier and Enquirer has a right hard article upon President Pierce, from which we quote as following:
 "Franklin Pierce was for 20 years previous to his election to the Presi- dency of the United States, by gen. eral consent, the best party manager in New Hampshire.-He had an agl- ity, an adroitness, and an address that peculiarly fitted him for the training of the political militia of small Sate: and il was he, more than any other man, that kept New Hampshire stead fly to the Democratic party every successive year through five admiais- trations. But, in the capricious vicis- situdes of fortune, Franklin Pierce awoke one morning last March and found himself head of the nation; and fromthat daySucceSs has forsaken him. The man who could wheel his little regiment with such pretty effect upon the banks of the Merrimac is no sooner promoted 10 the chief command than without single demonstration upon the part of his enemies, he maneuvers himself and his whole party out of every inch of fighting ground"

Yellow Fever at Thiboiaux.

By the arrival yesterday evening of the Donaldsonville packet R. M. Jones,
 Capt. Ragan, the reports previously recieved here, Of the prevalence of vel l low fvruI @o ThibodauX, are fully con- frmed. The Minerva of Saturday, Sd instant, states that the disease is of the most malignant type, and has created panic among the citizens verging on frenzy. All places of bus mess are closed. The streets are deser- ted, and look more like path in the wildernessthan the public thoroughfares of thriving commercial town of 1500 inhabitants. The citizens are flying in every direction to get, if possible, be- yond the pestiferiOus atmosphere which seems to hang over and around our be- fore salubrious village. Up to the 27th ut. the number of cases was p; on the evening of the same day the num- Der had greatly increased. Mir. An derson, of the Minerva, was attacked while engaged in making up the form.
 The Editor goes on to say that all his compositors had fled. The disease spread rapidlylup to Saturday evening, and the number of cases exceeded I60.
 Never have we witnessed scenes off greater distress and abandonment to fear. Parents abandon their offspring, and children forsake their parents, and leave them to the protection of the be- nevolent stranger.
 The Minerva contains thirty obitua- " notices, all of yellow fever. N 0. l Crescent, 7th inst.

 A FAMILY CoNcERN.--The St. Lou is Democrat, of the 29th ult., says
 The good steamer Elvira, plying as a regular packet between St. Louis and points on the Missouri, is owned entirely by Captain Dozier and his four sons. Dozier, senior, commands, and Doziers, juniors, clerk, pilot and run the boat. A father and four full grown up, good looking sons, inI charge and filling all the important offices on a steamer, Is something new in western navigation. They are all competent, skilful men, and, what is equally important-to them, at least they are making money. The cap tain, (Dozier, senior) draws his pay from Dozier, junior, the first clerk, and the second clerk and two pilots, all Doziers, apply regularly to the same individual for their wages. The first clerk, we presume. pays him. self. They all get the established wa ges; and although joint owners in the boat, each man takes care of his own and as they are prudent, saving men, in the course of time each will, in all probability, command his own boat.

THE GLOBE WE LIVE 1N.-It is

THE GLOBE WE LIVE IN.-It is known as fact in Geology, that be- low the depth of thirty feet the earth becomes regularly warmer as we de- scena. On an average the increase is at the rate of one degree of Fahren- heit for every fifty feet. At the bot tom of the mines at Cornwall, a depth of one thousand two hundred feet, the thermometer stands at eighty eight, equal to high summer heat. At this rate rocks and metals would be melted twenty miles below the surface, and down in the bowels of the earth, several hundred miles, the heat would be twen- ty thousand times hotter than melted iron. Who can wonder at earthquakes, when all things rest on molten sea of fire?

C. in high dudgeon, forthwith got out a warrant, and had B. arrested for killing his dog-swore 10 the killing and was corrsborated by two of his neighbors, who were present at the shooting.
 The magistrate fined B. ten dol lars and costs which amounted 10 about ten more; B. paid the fine and costs, and when the parties got home from the trial the dog had come home also, and was not killed. B. then got outa warrant against the French man and his two associates for per jury, in swearing B. had killed his dog, They were frightened, and made peace with B., paid him back his twenty dollars, and len more for his trouble--and no trial was had; and when the parties returned home from the last suit. 10! the dog was dead.
