The tyrant is dead carcass in the a.
bodies Of the living, but the benefactor
has living soul in the mansions Of the
dead.
A prince without justice is like riv'

As the sick body is not profted by
food, so the vain mind is not benefited
by admonition.
Listen, if you would learn; be silent
if you would be safe.
The world is carron, and its followers

He who has health should hope; ant

Mysterious.

A man named Grimes, from Madison
Township, in this county, came TO this
city about two weeks since, in charge Of
team, and put up at one of our hotels.
He left the house about dark, for the
purpose of transacting some business
on the west side of the Scioto river. The
fcrryman landed him on the tow.path,
since which time he has not been heard
OF. He had some $500 dollars in his
pocket at the time.
The probability is, that in attempting
to cross the locks, being intoxicated, he
fell in and was drowned.-Portsmouth

TRuANr LAw.-By a law ofMassa.
chusetts, the authorities Of towns and
cities are empowered u arrest and punish
all boys who absent themselves from
school and spend their time in idlsness
about the street and elsewhere. The law
works we'll, and wherever it has been
executed the results are beneficial to
truant boys and to society. Boston is
divided into three districts under this law,
and an officer is appointed in each to
look after vagrant children. In Sep.
ternbsr, October and November, three
officers arrested 825 truant children,
who were dealt with according to their
desert by the Courts. Confined truants,
Of whom there were 191, were sent to the
House Of Reformation, School, Of Re-
form, OF Farm Schools, others TO Charity
Schools or to the Alms.H House. Ths
majority Of the young offenders were in
duesd to attend school punctually. Tht

population. it is believed, will bo one-o

A good husband will repair his house
while the weather is fair, not put it off
till winter; careful pilot will take ad.
vantage. Of wind and tide, and SO put
out to sea, not stay till storm arise.
The traveller will" take his time in his
journey, and mind his pace when the
night comes on, lest darkness overtake
him; the smith will strike while the iron
is hot, lest it grow cool, and go he lose
his labor; so we ought to make every
day the day Of our repentance; to make
use Of the present time, that when we
come to die. we may have nothing to
do but to die; for there will be a time

ance-when the door will be shut.

A Young Indian Girl Convicted o.

in the practice Of pilfcring articles from
the houses where she was engaged as
seamstress, q portion Of which she made
presents Of to certain ladies OF the city.
Being young woman ofgool education,
and Of considerable intelligence, she
conesponded with the wife of the Rev.
Mr.. Clarke, who conducts a religious
magazine, and represented herself as a
southern girl, giving her name as Annie
Greyson. Some Of these letters were ex.
hibited in court, and while they show
the prisoner 10 be a we'll educated and
strong.minded woman, they at the same
time prove the gross deception she has
practiced.
TO carry on her deception she stole a
daguerreotype ofthc daugter Of Mr.. Lew.
is Lyons, and sent it to Mrs Clarke as
the picture of f"Annic Grcyson," her as.
numcd name. She got another dagucr.
reotypc of two children of Mr.. Hart,
and sent it also as members of the Grey.

topics into her letters, which she enlar.
gcd upon with much ability and appar.

New TREATMENT OF WooL.-Thcre
is new composition for preparing wool
for manufacturing purposes, invented
by William S. Hubbell and Amos Bar.
rett, Of Ashtabula county, Ohio, who
have taken measures to secure patent
therefor. In the common way Of treat.
ing wool for manufacturing purpose, it is
washed before it is fit for combing, and
after being dried is treated with some
unctuous agent, such as oil of various
sorts, to lendcr it fit for manufacturer
By this new process the previous washing
is not required, as the composition itself
acts upon the greasy glutinous matter
in the wool, and renders it aGerward
much more suitable for manufacturing
purposes than wool that has been treated
in the ordinary way.
