disturbed state Of Europe, that France and
Belgium are likely to. enter into close alIi-
ance. Leopold, the son-in-law Of Louis Phi
lippe and Napoleon, the sworn enemy Of all
the aniquated Bourbon legitimacy, are driven
to an amicable embrace for the sake Of pre-
senting formidable front to the common enc
my, Russia. In fact Belgium, occupying an
important position on the map Of Europe, is
becoming fast allied with oil the great West

Some time last year it will be remembered, q

married man named Bennett, clandestinely,
and much against the will Of her parents She
was taken from her husband as the two were

legally married, by her father and grandfather,
Asa B. Smith. The bereft husband at once
took to legal proceedings against the relatives
of the girl and in former trial the jury disa-
greed AT the present term Of the Ontario
county court, he brought another action for
damages, in the detention Of his vito and the
loss Of her services The case was managed
by high legal talent on both sides, and created
very general interest where the facts and par
ties were known j A. Spencer and Mr.. Nal.
lory were PLAINTIFF counsel, and Alvah Wor-
den and Mr.. Chesebro counsel for the defence.
We learn verbally that the jury rendered
verdict for plaintiff. mulcting the Smiths in

RETIRING IN DIsGusT.--It ia stated that
farmer, whose homestead il on the line of the
Great Western Railroad, is offering to sell out

The doctrine broached by Gen. Cass, in his
Nicholson letter, and more recently re- affirmed
by him from his place in the Senate, that
Territorial Legislature can abolish slavery,
will not hold water in tho South.--Soufk Side
Democrat.
And yet the Democratic party of the South,
in lS48, supported Gen. Cass for the Presi-
dency, upon the strength Of that pery letter.
Their duplicity in this respect is only equalled
by their present hypocrisy in stepping forward
and proclaiming the sanctity Of the Compro-
as abills Of surrender and the friends Of
which they branded as abase submissionists"

circles, and is the first Of it, character that has
fallen under our notice.-1Soy Wig.
