SIMS THE SAVANNAH FUGITIvE-The Charles
ton Courier denies point blank the statement OF
Rev Theodore Parker in one Of his Sunday dis
courses, that Sims was taken to prison in Sa-
vannah and whipped to DEATH The Courier says
"When Sims was returned, his master mne-
diately sent him to highly respectable broker in
this city, with instructions 10 sell him forthwith,
but allow him TO select, if possible, his purchaser
This Sims was unable 10 do and, therefore, at his
own request, was shipped TO New Orleans, where
he found party willing 10 buy him, and at this
present time is working in that city at his trade,
that of bricklayer, so successfully that in short
time he will be in condition, if he feels so dis
posed, TO buy himself"
The people of Monaco, principally between
Nice and Genoa, with population of $780, wish
to be annexed to the United States, or TO become
republicans under our protection. The poor duke
of Valcntinois, claiming possession Of the country
without being able TO assert it, wishes to sell out his
hereditary rights, and both have appealed TO- our
minister at Paris. Judge Piatt, secretary ofegu-
ton, it is said, has undertaken 10 look into the
affair. Monaco has two seaports, with mines OF
silver, quicksilver and iron.
MIGRATORY BIRDS NEsf-As the person en-
railroad was examining the freight cars, few
days since, he found robins nest containing
three eggs. The nest was safely located in one
of the trucks, and every appearance indicated
that it had been there for long period, but
whether the parent bird follows its nest in its
travels is an unsettled question. The car has
been used regularly for a year past The nest
was not disturbed.-Harttord Times.

Beer-Drinking.-W Within the last two years
the habit Of beer-drinking has greatly increased
in this city, judging from the large quantities Of
that class Of beverage in every direction exposed
for sale. In former times the brewers table and
tavern beer, and hop and root beer and pop, were
the kinds in use, but now lager beer is not only
manufactured but drunk in astonishing quantities.
AT the corners Of the streets, in the market
houses, and at the cake tables do we find beer,
as if the public safety imperatively required the

Spiritual Disappearances.-For some months
past the believers in the spiritual phenomena have
been meeting, every Friday night at Temperance
Hall, in kind of conference, for the purpose OF
eliciling facts, and TO convert infdels! Governor
Tallmadge was, for time, their "big gum" and
made not few astonishing explosions, with an
honesty which, though unquestionable, impressed
the incredulous with the idea Shai he was labor
ing under deluson. AS of him, so of all the
rest of such people.
After this gentleman left the city, the number
of auditors who attended the gatherings began to
grow less, until an omnibus load-we mean when
the vehicle is comfortably flled-could not be
mustered. In fact, those who, for The greater
part went thilher, expected TO "see sights" in
proof of the extravagant assertions, such a
table, with Two men on it, walking out ofthe win
dow on its four legs But during all the so-called
conferences, there was nothing bat mere story
telling or defamation
On Friday night the spiritualists "closed the
season." having made dead failure 10 convince
other people of the truth Of their doctrines.
