a Busy D0GroR-A certain physician in the
lower part Of the city has of late been somewhat
noted for the number and urgency of the calls
which have daily been scrawled upon his slate
that slate which has hung SO inyitingly at his
office door. This physician, by his own report
has hardly had time to eat, drink or Sleep SO
urgent have been the demands upon his Tune
Every one at all acquainted with HIM had oeen
at a loss to guess how he found time to at'enu
to such a pressing practice, The thing leaked
out yesterday by accident II happened that
he got call from a friend who came in person,
| What was the establishment of that friend when
| he arrived at the Office Of the busy physician
to find him industriously and secretly engaged

UNLAWFUL DETENTION IN THE Posr
OFrIcE.-Suit has been instituted IN
the Second District Court, New Orleans,
by Antonio Pons, a fruit dealer. against
the Postmaster of this city, W. G.
Kendall, Esq, claiming damages In the
sum of fye-hundred and sixty dollars,
for loss sustained by him in the unlaw-
full detention in the post-ofiee of letter
addressed to him. Pons alleges, in his
petition, that letter addressed to him,
with advices, and a bill Of lading Of
shipment of lemons from Vera Cruz
was deposited in the New Orleans post
Office on the 18th of September last, on
the arrival of the steamship Mexico,
from Vera Cruz; that expecting such a
letter, he applied for it at the post-othce
repeatedly, after the arrival OF the
Mexico, and was told that there was no
such letter for him; that eight days
afterwards the letter was advertised;
that in the meantime the lemons which
were here, and which he could not get
possession of without producing the
eyidence-the bill of lading--became
so deteriorated that the whole Shipment
when sold at auction, brought only the
net sum of FIVE dollars and forty-seven
cents. leaving him minus FIVE hundred
and sixty dollars. This suit, we under
stand IS but the beginning Of the
end +" as hundreds of others, it IS
said. of a similar nature, are about
being instituted.-N D. True Della.

THE COURIER AND OUR BoY.-Our
neiphbor was out last week with half al
column of balderdash, devoted to this
subject, and as he appears to be woful-
" ignorant in regard to the facts, we
shall somewhat enlighten him on the
subject, merely to see if he has the hon
esty to do us justice. On the goth of
February, 1852, Henry Smith engaged
with us to learn the printing business,
and bargained to remain four years.
After remaining with US eighteen months
his father sent for him to return home,
if we could possibly spare him, giving
purely private family matters as the
reason for Withdrawing him. Upon
these representations we of course al
lowed the young man to leave, assuring
us that he intended leaving the busi-
ness forever. We Immediately tele-
graphed to Cincinnati for ajourneyman,
but without success, and for the grea-
ter part of FIVE weeks the entire labor
Of the Office was thrown upon ourself
and one boy, and until young Smith
made his appearance. We were some
what astonished to hear that Vance had
been tampering with our boys, and as
we stood greatly in need of hand,
and as this young man justly owed us
two and half years service on prevI-
GUS contract, on proper representation
of the facts he Immediately came to
work for US.
We had taken considerable trouble tc
advance this young man in the business,
and at the time of leaving us was about
as competent in Typography as any jour
newman we have had since our connex-
ion with the Journal. We took no ad-
vantage of him, neither did we give
him to understand that it would be to
his disadvantage to work in the Courier
Office, on the contrary we asserted oul
rights and were determined to maintain
them at every hazard.
Neighbor, you now have the facts o.
the case and can do with them as you
see proper, but no more of your tam
pering with our boys. We did not EN-
plOy the young man for the sake of COM
pelling you "tO omit issuing paper,
but that we stood in need of his service:
!. and were determined to have our own
In regard to expressing your "oPiniOr
pretty freely" is a matter we know
nothing about-one thing is certain, how
ever, you never expressed it in ouI
hearing nor through your paper.

An.r,hre., P.s.aSs.

1t is not true that any vessel has yet
made what is called the northwest pas
sage, being around the north part oil
North America, but it is true that sucn
discoveries have been made as to settle
the question that there is water com
munication through the entire route
For some weeks past the newspapers
have contained an article stating that
the northwest passage had been made.
Such is not the case. Captain cClure,
of the ship Investigator, in 1851. under
took to penetrate these northern soil
tudes from Behring's Straits. de pro-
ceeded to Winter Harbor, point on
Melville Island, in the month OF Sep
tember in that year, where he deposited
a record of his progress. Starting again
for the eastward, his vessel was frozen
| in the solid ice on the Gath September
1851. and it has remained frozen in uE
to the last date from them. Last year
the ship Resolute entered the frozen
ocean from the East, by Davis Straits,
and penetrated as far as Melville Is
land, and found the record left by the
investigator. A company, in the spring
was sent to look up that vessel, and
found it imbedded in the ice, where II
had been detained for nearly two years
The officers and men were determined
to remain and make the effort to extrl
cate themselves during the past season
and if they failed they would leave then
vessel in the spring of "a, and endeavol
to escape across the ice in search of wha
lers, or proceed to Disco Island in boats
and find some Danish vessel.
1t is thus shown that there is waite
passage, as two vessels have arrived a
the same point on Melville Island, tn
one coming from the West, and the 9th
er from the East. Whether the lnves
tigator will ever escape from the ice
and effect the entire passage, yet re
mains to be seen. While the physica
fact of a water passage is thus demon
strated, it is Just as conclusively demon
strated that this fact is of no practica
value as a means of communication
The long and terrible winters utterl.
preclude the idea of making this rout
the channel of commerce between Asl
and Europe, or America.

WHAT RAILROADS ARE DOING FOR
KENrucxY.-The effect of railroads in
Kentucky is very marked. That State
begins to feel the vivifying effect OF
railroads upon its growth, wealth and
business. Of Louisville, the Journal
says, in 1943, she had not a single rail-
road running into her. Since then she
has raised $500, 900 for the building Of
the Louisville and Frankfort Railroad,
has subscribed 100000 to the Jeffer-
sonville and Columbus Company, ST.
600, 600 to the Louisville and Nashville
Company, and has proposed to sub
scribe 81 100000 TO the Louisville and
Frankfort Company to enable them to
build a branch road to Knoxville. The
value of the property IN Louisville in
1849, when she entered upon the grand
scheme of railroad building, was little
over s16, 900, 900; now, after FIVE years
only, it is a little over $4,000, 900,
and the city was never increasing more
rapidly in population, and never ex-
hibited more evidence of general pros
perity

SEDUCTION CAsE.-Last week there
was tried in the Hardin Circuit Court
the case of Thomas Kelly VS.. DR.. Thorn
as B. Greenly, for the seduction OF Miss
Malvina Kelly. This case excited a
great degree of interest, from the fact
that the damages were laid at $4,000,
and also from the allegation that the Sc
duction was accomplished by admins
tering to Miss Kelly, cantharides.-
When she entered the Court house, the
Elizabethtown Register reports quite an
affecting scene having ensued. Over
come by the novelty of her position
and the terrible trial she was about to
undergo, she sank down, and in an au-
dible voice offered up feryent petition
to the throne of Grace, to stand by her
in that hour of trial and difficulty. Du,
ring the prayer perfect silence perva'
ded the house, and many an eye 'un'
used to the melting mood" shed coPi'
GUS tears. She then told her tale o.
woe, in simple, unadorned manner
The administering of cantharides was
abundantly proven, yet great contrarie'
ty of opinion existed as to whether il
would produce the effect as charged
The trial continued from Tuesday unit
Saturday evening, when the Jury re
turned a verdict of $500 damages fol

PRorEsr.-Over sixty of the leading
mercantile firms of Pittsburgh have
issued protest against the form of bill
of lading adopted by the Association Of
steamboat Captains. The protestants
say that the said bill of ladingis extra
ordinary and unjust, apparently formed
for the express purpose of relieving
steamboat owners and officers Of all
responsibility and care, and Of evading
the Just laws made for their govern
ment. And as shippers would have nc
right to make any such extraordinary
contracts without rendering themselves
directly liable; therefore, the merchant;
protest, and positively refuse to entel
into any such contract, and pledge
themselves not to ship their own mer
chandise or manufactures, on any boa
insisting upon such form of bill o
lading; or the merchandise and proper
ty of their customers, unless when posi-
lively instructed so to do by the owners

An OuernGeono AMAsr-
Yesterday morning Nat. F. Ward, the
eldest son of R. J. Ward, Esq, went
to the High School in this city, near
the corner of Second street, on Chest
nut, accompanied by two of his BROTH
ers, Robert Ward, a youth Of sixteen,
and William Ward, smaller boy, and
called for Mr.. VIM. H. G. Butler, one
of the teachers. A few words passed
between them, when Mr.. Ward pulled
out a pistol and shot Mr.. Butler down.
The ball penetrating his left breast,
over the heart, and he fell to the floor,
exclaiming in his agony, "I am killed
oh. nv poor wife and childl" Ward
then dropped his pistol, and accompanied
by his brother, retreated from the
school room.
Mr.. Butler was able to rise from the
floor, and left the room, assisted by
some bows, but when in the street h
| fell again, and was carried home. Hi'
physicians think the wound will prove
mortal. The ball could not be ex
tracted, and he bled inwsrdly. Mr.
Butler had corrected VIM. Ward, one
of his pupils, the day previous, tol
telling a falsehood, which led to th'
tragic affair.
| Robert Ward, who accompanied hi
brother, drew a bowie knife, and wheI
Prof. Sturgus, the other teacher in the
school, advanced to the assistance o
Mr.. Butler, he made such demonstra
tions that tile Professor retreated ant
made his escape out Of a window
The scholars in the school room wer'
also scattered in all directions by thu
display of such warlike instruments II
their midst.
Mr.. M.F. Ward and Robert ]. Ward
Jr., were promptly arrested and lodge'
in Jail, and as the affair will undergo
; judicial investigation, we forbear mar
rating the particulars.-Lou'sV'LIe Cour
| Ter, Sd.
The Louisville correspondent of tn
Cincinnati Columbian, under date @
D Thursday evening last, says:
The shooting affair, OF which wrot
Yesterday, resulted in the death of MI
e Butler, this morning. about one O'Clock
S at the residence of ]. H. Harney, edito
of the Democrat, where he was con
n -yeyed. A corOner's inquest has bee
S held, and the body will be buried to
morrow. Mr.. Butler leaves wife an
S child-having been married only tw
> years.
The two Wards were brought befor
e the Police court to-day, and after fu
: investigation, committed to Jail to ava
: trial before the Circuit Court, whlc
e meets in December, for murder IN tn
first degree. The entire evidence got
! to show that it was a preconcerte'
o cold -blooded murder, without any pa
n liating circumstances whatever. Thel
/ prevails throughout the community,
great degree of indignation at tn
e atrocious affair, and old, calm-tempere
i citizens, have expressed in terms n
l. very respectful of the laws. their desil
