He Don't take the Papers.

We got sight of a man the other day
that don't take the paper. He wore pair
of Moccasins, harnessed up with tow
string and wondered what "them fellows
had done that they to go about the street
wearing a s'box" on their head. He
thought the Court House was pretty fine
building, but did not like its situation
right in the middle of meadow, with nc
potato patch near it. He thought the men
who lived in must be unmarried as he saw
no woman or children about it! He was
jirked up and fined FIVE dollars for cutting
hierogliphics on the shade trees, and
tramping downthe grass. HI thought the
magistrate was pretty fine sort of man
but if he owned the plantation, he was
foolish to want money from him for doing
what he had done, for the trees would have
to be cleared away and the grass killed
before he would have any garden patch
He called at the Irving House just at din
ner time, and remarked to Harry that he
employed a good many hands, and wanted
to know how much he gave them a day
He wasperfectly astonished that Harry did
not ask him to dinner, and went AWAY
angry. He went home past the Unior
School House, just at recess, and said i
IL
and was curious to see the old gentzen,o,
and lady! The Superintendent informed
him they were not in.
There is said be others of this same clas
in this vicinity. and we shall occasionall7
give some accout of them, that our reader
may draw the contrast between those in
dividuals and themselves.-Neaoark Her

SMITH O'BR1EN NOT PARDoNED.-The
editors of the Savannah Courier was in
formed by 7. F. Meagher, Esq, during
the recent visit of that gentleman to Savan-
nah' that the general impression in this
country that Smith O'Brien has received
his pardon is unfounded. The declaration
of Lord Palmerston in the House of Com
mons appears only common State trick,
resorted to at a critical period, when it was
desirable to conciliate the Irish. Instead
OF being Internationally set at liberty, a
pardon is offered to O'Brien if he will an
ply for it, and if, in doing SO. he will sign
papers recognizing the justice of his SEN
tence-neither of which he would ever con
sent to do.

A TRUE YANkEE.-A young man in
this city, wrote to a gentleman in North
anton, recently, signifying that he had
unexpectedly been thrown out of employ
ment, and requested the persons whom he
addressed to procure him ga situation" "
He said he would like to work at Saving,
or making doors and blinds-few said he
can beat me at that or should like to gel
into livery stable; or any of the stores,
as salesman, for I am good one, and un.
derstand the business; or, to drive team
l will be on hand; or, chance to pedle
stoves; or, chance to tend saw-mill; or
almost anything else;--get me chance,
and will be on hand" Of course such
a young man was not destitute of employ.

Railroad Case.

Railroad Case.
The case of Webster VS. the Clevland
Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad Com.
pany, was tried in Lorain county last week
The Elyria Democrat says:
"This case occupied the Court two
days and half, commencing Friday, and
ending Monday evening. This was case
brought by the plaintiff for the recovery o
damages for injuries sustained in being
eyicted from the cars of the company, or
the 4th day of July last.
ut was claimed and sworn to on the part
of the plaintiff, that he took passage or
the cars of the company at Olmstead, fol
Wellington; that before reaching Grafton
he paid the conductor 65 cents, full fare
to Wellington; that after passing Grafton
the conductor demanded fare from Graf.
ton to Wellington, claiming that Webster
had paid only to the former place. The
plaintiff refused to pay, claiming he had
already paid full fare, whereupon the con-
ductor stopped the train, and with the aid
of other hands of the train, put him off,
three miles south of Grafton, to which
place he had to return on foot, though In
very feeble health. He also sworc thai
when he reached the platform ofthe car he
offered to pay the fare demanded by the
conductor, rather than be left, and that
the conductor refused to take it, and
put him off. On the part of the defense,
the conductor syore that the plaintiff paid
him only 35 cents, the amount of the fare
to Grafton, and afterwards refused to pay
more, and did not offer to pay until after
he had reached the ground and was left
Other witnesses testified, on both sides,
whose testimony was equally conflicting
The case was ably argued by Messers
Tilden and Payne, of Cleveland, for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Lockwood, of this place,
and Mr.. Backus, Of Cleveland, for the
defense. Mr., Backus occupied about four
hours in his argument, and Mr.. Tilden
two. The jury brought in sealed verdict
on Tuesday morning, of $3.50 for the;
plaintiff. Plaintiff gave notice of appeal" :"

CELrBRAcY IN ENGLAND.-Thelat late Brit
ish census shows that cehbracy prevails tc
large extent in England Out of re-
turn of $1,000 households, only 41,916
are genuine families, the remainder being
domiciles kept by spinsters, bachelors,
widows and widowers. AS this is not an
exceptional statement, but given as fail
average of the census report. more than
third of the adult population of Eng
land would appear to be unmarried. In
the southeastern division the result was
even worse, for here, of women under
forty-fve, 10000 were wives, while
10000 were spinsters or widows.

Frauds on Travellers.
The New York Herald has a long article
on the subject of the numerous frauds that
are practiced in that city on travellers pas
sing through there. The Herald says that
Western men are as frequently victimized
as any other, but they are generally such
Western men as make only single trip in
life time. For the benefit of such, we
make the following extract:
t'Within the last few months facts of a
new dodge have come to light, which out
does all the former rascality and impu-
dence of these mock railroad agents. and
by which their revenue from the nefarious
business has been increased fourfold. This
consisted in the selling of through tickets
for Cleveland, and all the principal
Western cities along the line of the Michi-
gan Southern Railroad. When the emil
grant arrived as faras Cleveland, he found
himself completely bsmboozeled. Along
with the ticket to Cleveland he received
an order on somebody, represented in the
document as being possessed with sufficient
authority to forward the bearer" and
upon searching for this important person
age, the unlucky dupe generally comes to
the conclusion that he is nowhere; that
the ticket intended to take him further
VESTS worth just as much as a piece of
blotting paper, and that an adriot swindle
has been perpetrated, which, to his amaze
ment and vexation, he is not made aware
of until midway between hisdestination and
starting point. Nothing remained then
for the unfortunate but to purchase bona
.fde ticket, for, as we said before, returning
to New York was out of the question.
Some eight or nine hundred individuals
have been defrauded in this way during
the last six months, to the certain knowl-
edge Of parties connected with those rail-
road companies at Cleveland.
To such an exteuthas this evil prevailed
that the various railroad companies of the
West, fearful that the affects produced by
such gross frauds would change the tide
of emigration by the way of the lakes, took
the matter in their own hands and deter
mined to prosecute those engaged in the
sale of these fraudulent tickets. Accor-
dinghy, correspondence took place be-
tween parties and the District Attorney of
New York. An astute officer was instruc-
ted to be on the look out for few of the
most intelligent green ones he could find.
He had not long to wait, for almost every
train going west poured forth some of the
duped at Cleveland Having easily
procured and induced two or three of these
unfortunate ones to accompany him back
to New York. Gall their expenses having
been paid, } they cheerfully gave what
testimony was necessary to convict one of
the principal and most extensive dealers in
these spurious railroad tickets, who was
sentenced to three years Imprisonment in
the States prison, as will be seen by our
criminal records of this month

timber will become denuded of its gay
