| UniS OF this morning, we observe a letter from
MIR. q. o. De Lorimier, dated Sault st. Louis
| February 8, 1854 which saws that the report
ed mother Of Rev Eieazer Williams adheres to
her declaration that he is her son, and thinks
that he must DO demented to deny his parent
age. Mr.. Lorimier says that there are more
than thirty aged persons in the village who
knew Eloazer in his infancy, and can make
sflidavits of the fact--N ~ Com Advertiser
| Mr.. Williams preached ut tho Church fthe
Ascension in this city yesterday and they who
saw him all concur in the opinion that, il
he be not prince, it is impossible that an In
dian woman could be his mother
The HUTcHINsoNs There was a delighted
audience at Carusi's on Saturday night. The
songs were all finely sung. The brothers
Hutchinson will sing this and tomorrow even
ing No entertainment can be better enjoyed
than that they afford We notice by the
Philadelphia papers, that their recent efforts
in that city were attended with triumphant
success. The Pennsylvania Of Wednesday
last said: "Their success during their brief
stay has been most gratifying-the large hall
being crowded, both on last evening and the
evening before, with fashionable audiences.
Much qualification was expressed, and every
body appeared delighted"
A BEAUTIFUL CHoIR-The impressive reli-
gious services ut the Capitol, yesterday, by Rev.
Mr.. Milbnrn, were enhanced by tho aid of the
Messrs. Hutchinson, who sang several hymns
in the most exquisite manner. This was de-
lightful and unexpected qualification to many
of the congregation
To- A moro variable winter than the pres
emit has never been experienced in Washing
ton. Yesterday the sun shone clear, and the
weather was mild and pleasant: to-day, We
have strong NORTHEASTERN, and there is fonr-
inch snow upon the ground, and still increas-
ing. The smile is sure to come before the
storm.
A Washington correspondent or the Courier
and Enquirer says that land stealing has be-
come popular and honorable. It il, perhaps,
national failing, and we come by it in very
honest way. The Vikings Of the North were
the originals Of our Cuban and California Fill
busters. The Saxons, Danes, and Normans,
sprang from the same Scandinavian stock, and
were all land rievers Walker and his gang
are natural successors Of Hcngist and Horsa,
and there is 90 general a sympathy among our
population with the propensity which furnish
ed incitments to their crimes, that we shall be
compelled to pay for rather than punish their
excuses, as doting father empties his purse
for his scapegrace son, in preference to using
the birch for his reformation.
The Brattleboro' Statesman mentions the gu
icide of O. X. Farewell young man who shot
himself, in part of Plymouth called Frog
City on Sunday, the 18th ult He married,
last fall, a girl seventeen years of age, whom
he met at Woodstock Fair a week previous,
His wife refused to live with him, and went
home to her parents. Farewell called to see
her, and she rejected his request to live with
him again He concluded that life without his
wife was not worth having, and stepped imme-
diately out Of the house into the yard, and, in
sight Of his wife and others, put a pistol under
his chin and blew his brains out, falling dead.
So she, of course, was right
IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The United States
Court, at Washington, has affirmed Judge
Sprague's opinion given in the Circuit Court,
at Boston, in 1882, in which he decided that
N. q. Norcross's Rotary Planning Machine does
not infringe the Woodwork Machine.
Mr.. Norcross resides in Lowell, Mass The
case was ably argued by VIM. Whiting, Esq,
of Boston.
