"snug little fortune" of 100000 can
be obtained by the legal heirs whenever
they may call for tat least so they
are informed by Daniel Stout, of Rock
River, Iii. 1t appears it was left by
John Stout, of South Carolina, previous
to the war of the Revolution to his
brother, St. Leger Stout, and bis sister,
Nancy Stout, then of New Jersey, but
subsequently, of Virginia, somewhere in
the neighborhood Of Tygert's Valley,
where they resided for many years, and
where they died. Nancy Stout, during
her life time, married a man named
Hart, and St Leger female named
Barnlow. As these parties never made
a demand for the money, it is said now
to be awaiting the order Of their heirs,
who can address Daniel Stout, Rock
River, Ill.,, on the subject. -'t

- The Legislature of Massachu-
setts has passed, and the Governor has
signed, an act giving to Juries the power
to judge Of the law as we'll as the evil
dence. This will put an end to some
OF the worst usurpations of Judges,
whereby Juries have too often been con-
strained to render verd;cts contrary to
their views of justice and right. On
the other hand, it may operate as pro-
lection to the guilty by providing un-
scrupu!ous jurymen with covert for
dishonesty. On the whole, we believe
its effects will be salutary. IF Juries
in the United States Courts were per-
mitted TO judge Of the law as well as the
evidence, it would not be very easy, we
imagine, in the free States, to convic,
anybody for resisting the Fugitive Slave
Law.

p0- Monsieur K is a good hus-
band, kind father, good citizen--but
he has one weakness. He believes in
the superstition about the number Mir-
teen. Nothing would tempt him to sit
at table, one Of that fatal number. He
would, on no account, begin an import
ant business ON the thirteenth of the
month, or start on that day upon voy-
age. He was the father of twelve chill
dren. Imagine his CONSERVATION at the
prospect Of that number being changed
to the fatal thirteen |! He could not
sleep--it caused him anxiety night and
day. The thought was torture to him.
But Heavens blessings rest upon large
families, and our friend was relieved In
time, by the announcement that TWO
speet daughters claimed bis love and
care--and that the luckless number was
chasgsd int fourteen!

that the Boston people write annually
about thirty-threc letters to a person !;
those in New York about twenty -four ;
in Philadelphia fourteen; in New Or

volume which we have received from
the authoress-Mrs. J. A. Eames. wife
of Rev. Mr.. Eahes, who recently deliv-
ed very interesting course of lectures
in this place, on his travels in the East.
Mrs E. accompanied her husband, and
this volume is a collection of letters
written by her to friends at home, while
on her tour. Those who heard the lee
lures, need not be told that the places
visited were those affordng the greatest
interest to the traveller. And the book
of course, furnishes much more detail.
ed account of places and objects visited
than could be given in course of lee
lures, and it also contains many Incl
dents and items of information which
could not there be introduced. 1t pos
sesses the somewhat rare merit of being
written in the familiar style of epistolary
correspondence, without becoming tedi-
Gus with minutia the most diffic ult,
and yet, when properly done, altogether
the most interesting style for this kind
of writing. Mrs. Eames already has
reputation of q facile, yet energetic
writer, and this volume can but add to
that enviable popularity The book is
issued in that neat and beautiful style
for which Ticknor & Co., of Boston, are
noted among the tasteful in such matters
containing some 4S0 large IL mo.
pages-and is for sale, in this place, by
