Il
The Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia
is engaged in trying the validity of the will of
William Johnson, colored deceased. It appears
that Johnson, many years ago, was slave in
Virginia, but fled to Philadelphia, where his free
dom was purchased by Mayor Gilpin, through the
efforts of coIored woman named Harvey, who
had several children when she married johnson,
but none by him, died in ls47, and in about year
after, it is alleged, he married Catharine Flynn,
white woman, from Scotland, with whom he
lived until few days of his death, and had three
children by her. A day SO before he died, he
left the house of his white wife, and married his
colored housekeeper, Nancy Douee. who was his
step-daHghter by his first wife. and had four chill
dren at the time. To these children, who are ac-
knowledged as his in his will, he left the great
bulk of his valuable property, while to the chill
dren of the white woman he left 800 per annum
untilthey were twenty-one years of age, when a
certain amount is tosbe.. divided among them
The white wife now alleges, it is said, that the
colored one, by improper means, induced John
to alter his will in favor of her children. An
other sngularity attending the case is that one of
the female witnesses for the white wife is an En-
glish white woman Of great beauty and youth, who
has mulatto husband and children. *

0sT- Ruins,'' writes a travelling correspondent
of the Morning Post, "are the great feature of
Irelaud-ruins of all kinds-ruins old and ruins
new-ruins of lordly castles-ruins of venerable
churches-ruins ofwealthy monasteries and noble
abbeys-ruins of lowly cottages of times,
of power, of wealth, long matters of history, and
ruins of times ofrashness, extravaganza and pow
erty-of undertakings commenced improvdently,
and thrown aside despondingly, without compile
ton. All is ruin wherever you go; from the
crumblng walls and family charactered tombs

of present misery, death and emigration; that
shock the man of feeling, and set the political

The Charms of Life.

There are thousand things in this world to af-
fiict and sadden-but, oh. how many that are
beautiful and good! The world teens with beau
ty-with objects which gladden. the eye and warm
the heart We might be happy if we would
There are ills that we cannot escape--the ap-
proach of disease and death, of misfortune, the
sundering Of earthly ties, and the cancer worm of
grief-but q vast majority of the evils that beset
us might be avoided. The curse of intemper-
ance, interviewer as it is with all the lgaments of
society, is one which never strikes but to destroy
There is not one bright page upon the record of
its progress to shield it from the hear
test execration of the human race. It should not
exist-it ought not. Do away with all this-Iet
wars come to an end, and kindness mark the in
tercourse between man and man. We are too
selfish, as if the world was made for US alone
How much happier would we be were we to la
Dor more earnestly to promote each others
good. God has blessed us with home which is
not dark. There is sunshine everywhere--in the
sky, upon the earth-there would be in most
hearts, if we would look around US. The storms
die away, and bright sun shines out. Summer
drops her tinged curtain upon the earth, which is
very beautiful, even when autumn breathes her
changing breath upon it God reigns in heaven.
Murmur not at Being SO bountiful; and we can
live happier than we do. s

SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL FAcT.-At Modena, in
Italy, within circle of four miles around the
city, whenever the earth is dug and the work
men arrive at the distance of sixty-three feet,
they come to bed of chalk, which they bore
with an auger, five feet deep. They then with
draw from the pit before the auger is removed,
and upon its refraction the water bursts up with
great violence, and quickly fills the well thus
made, the supply of water being neither affected
by rains or droughts., At the depth of fourteen
feet are found the ruins of an ancient city,
houses, paved streets, and mason work. Below
this again is a layer of earth, and at twenty-six
feet walnut trees are found entire, with leaves
and walnuts upon them. At twenty-eight feet
soft chalk is found, aud below this vegetables
and trees.-ScientJfc American. .s-
