In the tribe of Neggdah, there was horse,
whose fame was spread far nd near, and Bedou-
in OF another tribe, by name Daher, desired ex
tremely 10 posSesst. Having offered in vain iol
1t his camels and his whole wealth, he hit nj length
upon the following device, by which he hoped to
gain The object of his desire. He resolved 10 stain
his lace with the juice of an herb 10 clothe him
as to appear like lane beggar. Thus equipped,
he went TO wait for Nabor, the owner OF the horse
who he knew was to pass that way. When he saw
Naber approaching his beautiful steed, he cried
out III weak voice, al am poor stranger; fol-
three days have been unable to move from this

offered to take him on II is horse and carry him

great difficulty Settle seeming beggar on his back,
But no sooner did Daher feel himself i'll the sad

pursued, he turned ard halted at short distance
from Naber who was armed with spear. "You
have taken my horse" said the latter "Slnce
heaven has willed it, wish you JOY of it; but
do conJure you never to tell any one how you OBJ

Iregrettolearn that Judge John Glenn ofthe
inited States District Court of Maryland died to-
ay at his country residence, a few miles from
'altimore, after a lingering illness (gout of the
;omacl0 for some months. He was among our
riost prominent citizens, having practced law
uccessfully in the Courts of this State longse-
les of years. He received the appointment of
Judge from Mr. Fillmore, to ill the vacancy
aused by the death of Judge Heath about a year
. 20. Mr.. Glenn's father filled the office before
q, i'm. The deceased leaves family and many ar
'ent friends 10 mourn his loss.
1t is early to speculate in reference to his sue
essor, but should not be surprised to see John
Jelson, Esq, appointed. There will doubtless be
lany asplrans for The place, which could be fill
d by none better than by Mr.. Nelson.
Our City Council is now in extra session, devi-
ing means 10 give an appropriate public recep-
ion to the President and his cabinet on their arri7
al here next Monday. They will rrmain through
ut the day and night, and proceed EN- route for
lew York on Tuesday to attend the opening Of
he Worlps Fair.
Quite number of persons were drawn together
here to-day in expectation of witnessing the exc
:uton of Thomas Conver for murder. The Gov
sernor, however, disappointed their corrupt, gro
Yelling taste by granting respite OF two weeks
to the culprit.
We have had another excessively hot day-the
mometer near 90; good health however, prevails
The editorial correspondence of the Wheeling
Intelligencer is highly estimated here. The arti-
cles referring to our Railroad have elected much
deserved praise.
Business is rather dull. A good many western
merchants however, have been in making their
purchases of domestic cotton and wooden goods.
