KENTUCKY "DoMEsTIcs. The Louisville

"northern abolitionists: :"
As usual, the intersections Of Fourth and
Market streets, at the extremity Of the Ken

the whole day. There gathered thousands
OF men and women servants, ready to be
hired out for the ensuing year, while jostling
and elbowing through The crowd were ladies
and gentlemen, on the lookout for help
and proprietors standing by, exhibiting their
" chattels" Doubtless some Jealous aboli-
zionist would have been disguised and out
ragged had he been witness to the chaffering.
and dickering and bargaining that was going
on in human flesh. But the pious wrath OF
such might be as easily excited by visiting
any of the intelligence Offices Of the great
eastern cities, where, ranged in rows about
the room, sit the white females awaiting a
call, the agent. in the meanwhile, discours-
ing 10 every visitor Of the attributes Of each
GIRL, giving a schedule Of her mental, moral
and physical qualities. Much happier, how
ever, were the hearts Of the negroes who
gathered at the hiring place on Monday
far brighter shone their good humored faces
than it were possible with the oppressed
serving women of the north. Concerning
prices, we could only learn that there was
not at present so much demand for men ;

have been swindled out of various small
sums of money by person representing

the remittance of money to pay the ex-

WILL HE SUccEED.-The Albany cores
pondent of the N. Y. Courier, imparts the
following intelligence about the probable
discovery Of a remedy for the insect in wheat:
IL witnessed yesterday what was intrn-
scally worth more than was the days legis-
lation. DIR. Fitch of Washington, under
the enlightened patronage of the State agri-
cultural society, is investigating, with a
minuteness and patience and unwearied zeal,
that can only seldom be obtained in human
effort, the history, habits, origin of, and rem
edy for, the insect--as our desparing and
suffering farmers callit--the midge that eats
out of the grain its life-that has for so long
time checked all the heat-growing of the
east, and has, in the last year, turned to
skeleton results, the promising harvest of
western New York, and has blended its in
Siduous evils with the destruction wrought
10 the wheat crop of Ohio, by the drought
This effort of DR.. Fitch promises to a0Ork
out remedy for this mighty cuiI, and could
see that the accurate research, the precise
presentation of this scholar of Nature, as he
showed in the cereals the minute but sure
path of destruction made by the insect-was
better worthy the notice and commentator
of the press, than would have been the effort
of the orator. The loss which is wrought
out to the granares of our country by the
army of destroyers that can be felt if no..
seen is figured by millions. The good work
Iof the society in endeavoring to find its allie
Walton, deserves the kind word Of all who
wish to see abundance of cheap bread-that
condition which is the synonyme of happi-
ness to people"

WHAT ARE LUxURIEs FOR WIFE.-A
novel case which has just been decided in
New York, involves curiosity in medico-
jurisprudence. A mesmeric physician sued
a husband for services rendered the wife in
his absence. The supreme court says that
the law does not recognize the dreams, Wis
ions, or revelations of a woman in mes
meric state as necessaries for wife, for
which the husband without his consent, can
be made to pay. These are fancy articles
which those who have money of their own
to dispose of may purchase if they think
proper; but they are not necessaries, known
to the law, for which the wife can pledge the
credit of her absent husband. The law does
not seem TO have much respect for mesmer-
ism and spirit-rappings as sciences.

CANADA BANKs.--W. L. Mckenzie, who

states that at the late session, parliament
granted seven millions worth of special
charters to banks in four particular towns,
and not two members were found to vote
for the protection of bill holders rights
1t would appear by this statement that the
Canada banks do not possess the confidence
of those who were concerned in making
them-and are not what we have been led
to believe they were on this side the line.
