A JUsTIc.s Court IN MINnEsoTA.-
Many queer things take place in hinneso-
ia, but tho queorest of them all occurred at
a Justices Court in this city, on Saturday
of last week. 1t seems that the Esquire
was somewhat interested in the manufaet-
ure Of lager bier, and, with an eye prob
,bly to it's introduction into the stomachs
ofall lovers of the beverage, it was agreed
on the part of his Honor and the parties
in,eres,ed in the sui, brought before him,
that the first ono who should get angry du-
ring the trial should be fined and obliged
to furnish so many drinks of bier for the
party. The trial commenced. but had not
proceeded far when the penalty was laid os
some one who had SLOWED his feelings to
&c, the better Of him. The trial was.
stopped, and the bier guzzled, when his
Honor proceeded with the case. 1t was
not long before smother, and another, and
another of the party were fined, and the bier
drank, aud finally the Justice himself was
fined, and the drink, passed rouRl 'uatii
those who composed the august assembly.
including the august Justice, became 40

"WHo's YoUR HUSBAND I've have
to day learned the particulars of a most
singular circumstance. Some four years
since citizen of Boston emigrated to CAL
ifornia, leaving his wife behind him. At
the expiration OF one year he left San
Francisco for the mines, and owing to the
careless postal arrangements, his wife re-
ceived no letter from him for the following
year. This seemed to confirm Information
received by her from what she considered
an authentic source, that her hssba nd was
dead, and accordingly the wife, against
whom there had never been the shadow of
areproach, yielded to the entrea,ies of and
married another suitor. The husband, it
will bo remembered, had been absent two
years at the time Of the marriage. The
second husband lived only a few months
after the nuptals, and the widow, for
(as she thought herself,) was slightly sur
prised, few days since, by the appearance
Of her first husband. Matters have of
course been satisfactorily explained, and
the husband and wife arc now living hap
PLY together. The affair has, however.
excited much comment and scandal among
their immediate acq uaintancc, and an in.
terested party is about, 30 says rumor, to
enter complaint of bigamy against the
lady. The husband is undecided whether
or not to marry his wife again.-Boston

considerable attention at the depot in conse-
quencs Of the wheels and connections of
the cars being entirely concealed from
view. Boards are placed on the sides of
the cars almost as low as the rails. and a
canvass extends from one platform to an.

arrangement Is designed to keep down the

vent accidents, avoiding loss OF life and

get from the cars under the wheel without
removing the covering. There Is no such
thing as falling between the wheels and the
platform, for the space between the cars
is covered with a canvass capable cf sus.

which sailed from New Bedford July 2ath
on . whaling voyage to Northumberland

having received damage from collision. with
a mass OF ice on the 28th ultims. The

"Mr. Smith, the second officer, informs
Us that he never saw so much ice there be-
fore The shores were lined for fifteen or
twenty miles out to sea with solid packed
ice, which had been driven in by the south
