Case of fDestitution.-The Manchester IN. H.)
Mirror relates the following case of desttution
and want. caused by intemperance, which was
recently discovered in Hallsville, a small village
in Manchester. The Mirror says:
"Last week Friday, the neghbors heard that
death had entered their miserable dwelling and
on going in, they found an infant, born the
night before, but just alive; and child three
years old had died the morning before, and ano.
ther, seven years old, quite sick, as was also the
mother. Upon looking around, no food was found
but a few cold boiled potatoes; not stick OF
wood, save little poor man near, hearing OF
their distress, had brought in the night before from
his own scanty pile. From what they could learn,
the family had lived mostly on meal stirred up
with water, and cooked in spider, the stove.
Occasionally the father would get bone that the
meat had been cut of from, which boiled would
give them for a change little broth. An old un-
der-bed, with one sheet, cotton coverlid and two
pieces of cotton cloth tackled together, but no cot
ton between them, constituted the bed of the pa
rents and child that died; while an old braided
mat laid on the cords OF trundle- bed, and piece
of an old comforter for covering, has made up the
bed for the oldest child through our severely cold
winter"

SENATOR THOMSON, OF N. JERSEY

We clip the following from the New Bruins
wick IN. j. Daily Nescs Of the 9th instant:
"The democrats and others, of this city, in
tend to have public meeting in a few days,
for the purpose Of complimenting Senator
Thomson on his course in relation to the Ne
braska question"
It affords us much pleasure to add that let
tiers from all parts of New Jersey speak in en-.
thusiastic terms Of the speech Of Senator Thorn,
son on the Nebraska bill, and contain the
strongest assurances that the bill in question,
commands the cordial appreciation Of the New
Jersey democracy.

COME! COMET

As the unaower turns on her god when he sets
The same look which she gave when he rose"
AS turns the once-blessed longing flower,
Again 10 meet her day-god's kiss,
Thus, dearest, do seek thy bower
To find again my purest bliss.
As flies my robin 10 The hand
That hath ITS plumage oft caressed,
So seek ], day and night the land,
Where dwells the friend love the best.
As cherub to his mothers breast,
Whence he had fled IN frolic glee,
Turns 10 reseek his sweeter rest,
My wandering spirit turns TO thee.
As back the wild waves rush to greet
Some darling flower upon the shore,
So swels my heart, so haste my feet,
To thy embrace, dear -, once more.

Gas- Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy
for the Sick Headache, which has been recent
y offered TO the public, is attracting great at
tory testimonials to its efficacy which have been
volunteered by many who have been benefited by
it, but also because there are great number
Of people who are afflicted with the distressing
complaint, for which no medicine has before been
made public. DIR. Eastman, who discovered the
efficacy of his remedy" is physician in this
city, in high standing, with large practice. He
is physician in whom great confidence is placed; !;
and we do not wonder that his remedy for very
common disease, which has been SO long needed,
has attracted the attention of all sufferers from
headache who have heard Of il. From our own
knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's character and prac-
tice, we have doubt that the medicine deserves
the favor it receives, and that it will prove to be
great benefit 10 all who may give il a trial.

A Bit of Romancc.-On Saturday last, while
the train OF cars was at the Cleveland depot,
headed for Columbus, lady bearing an infant
child in her arms apparently five or six weeks
old) entered one of the passenger cars, and going
TO Young lady of some 16 or Is years, very
politely inquired il she would do her the favor to
hold her babe until she could step out, and see TO
the disposal of her baggage. The young lady
generously complied, and received the infant in
her arms. The mother left the cars, and has not
been seen or heard of since. The young lady also
fell heir TO a carpet sack, which had been placed
under her charge by the inhuman mother in which
was found note containing request that the
child should be treated with kindness, in which
case it might become distinguished man.
Several offers 10 take the child Were made to
the young lady, but she refused TO give il up to
any but its lawful or natural mother. She pre-
ferred keeping il herself, influenced, perhaps by
desire TO have child Of her own, whether she
ever had husband or not.--Cincianati paper.

ANOTHER RECORD OF CRIME.-The New York
Times says that another awful tragedy occurred
in saloon numbers 81 and SO Forsyth street,
at German ball. In the early part of the
night it was observed that degree of i'll feel
ing existed between some of the males, but it
appeared to pass off, At three o'clock, when
under the influence of liquor, the discontented
spirits commenced general fight. The women
became frightened and many left for home.
The proprietor Of the hall, and some of the
orderly portion Of the men, attempted and
finally succeeded in quelling the affray. Ten
minutes after, it was commenced in another
part of the room, and resulted in one man be-
ing fatally stabbed in the abdomen, and two
others badly wounded in the back The name
Of the deceased was Leopold With. The coro
ners jury were sitting on the case, but several
important witnesses were absent. One man
was arrested for participating in the bloody
affair.
The REsTELL CAsE.---In consequence Of the
disappearance Of the principal witness and
prosecutrix, Miss Cordelia A. Grant, Justice
Stuart finally decided to adjourn the examina-
ton until Wednesday the 22d ultimo; in the
meantime the accused is discharged from Gus
tody. The disappearance of Miss Grant at this
time is suspicious. Her counsel stated that he
had no intimation of her intended absence, and
said she might have been "induced to go some
soheye, and not hare the means Of sending back
information"

SENATORS EVERETT AID BELL.-We observe
that some of our whigs contemporaries are dis.
posed to agitSte the question Of the next presi-
dency as connected with the most probable whig
candidate. Until Mr.. Everett made his unfor-
tur1ate speech on the Nebraska question. he
seemed to be prominent for the distinction.
Since that time, however, his prospects seem to
have waned--at least, that is the opinion of a
distinguished northern whig. who writes from
Richmond, Virginia. TO the Boston Transcript
The following on this subject, by the al, resaid
writer, viii be Interesting to the friends of these
respective gentlemen:
- Both northern and southern opinion runs
the same way in regard to that interesting top
lc--the next presidential nomination. Our ia.
voTite northern candidate seems to have lost
bis chance-not so much un account Of the vote
which illness is said to have prevented his Civ.
Ing, but by reason Of his previous speech on the
Nebraska bill, which lost him favor from it:
non -committal purpot There appears to be an
eager looking towards Mr.. Bell, Of Tennessee
as the next candidate"

The PRESIDENT FOR THE BML.-Anticip pating
the defeat of the Nebraska Bill, the Wing press
of the South persist i'll holding the President
responsible for the result. They undertake to
justify the imputation Of bad faith on the part
Of the President in support of the Bill, by
groundless assertion and the authority of incre-
dible rumor, and not by any positive and au-
thentic testimony. We might discredit the
shameless statements of the Whig press of the
South, by the adverse testimony of Whig Jour
mails in the North, which denuunre MIR. Pierce in
the strongest terms Of denunciation as the ac.
tive, faithful and efficient friend of the Bill.
We have, however. higher and better evidence
Of this fact than can be found in the columns of
Wing paper.
We have ourselves heard the President avow
himself the ardent friend of the Nebraska bill,
with that warmth and emphasis of expression
habitual with men of his impuIsive and gener-
Gus nature; and we have heard him Justify his
position with strength of argument with no
impartial mind could resist. Nor does he COM
municate his views with any reserve or obliga-
ton of confidence. They are free to all who
mag seek to know them, and il there was any
occasionfor their official promulgation, they
would be given to the country in shape which
none could mistake or misconstrne.
