THIRD HAND HIGH.-Greely is injur-
ing the reputation of Americans abroad,
by not playing the game. A Paris let
ter writer says:
In the card-room wero two whist ia
bIes, and looked in to see who was
winning. At one was Horace Greely,
with our brilliant lady Secretary, Mrs.
Piatt, for a partner their adversaries
were Mrs. Hculy-much too good a.
tured to besany body's adversary-anda a
gentleman whose name 1 did not learn
At the particular moment of the game
which fell under my observation, Mr..
Greely and his fair Uis-a-vis were in the
nine holes, their opponents counting but
six. Diamonds were trumps, and the
lead was Mrs. Piatt's Mr.. Greely

slant succession of old acquaintance.

year 1855. The am ,ant lev cd for
State Common School purposes, or the
duplicate of 1851, yic!tlcl al aggregate
fund equal to one dollar AMI fort ght
cents for each youth between the ages of
and 2l years, resident in the State
The levy for the year 1850, for State
Common School purposes, remains the
same as in 1854, AID therefore, fund
of equal amount may be expected from
the duplicate Of the present year. If
this sum of one do lar a-d forty eight
cents for the education of each youth of
the State, is more liberal provision for
that purpose than can be justly afforded
by the people whose taxable wealth cx-
ceeds eight hundred millions of dollars,
such future reduction, if any, as the
public judgment shall decide to be con-
sistcnt with wise State policy, can be
accomplished by an amendment of the
existing law in abundant time to take
effect previous to the ass :ssment of tax
es for the year 1856.
On reference to the proper table ac
comparing this report, it will be seen
that the passage of the law by the last
Legislature, requiring the National
Road to be leased to the highest respon-
sible bidder finds renewed viadication
in the indebted condition of the road as
developed in the adjustment of outstand-
ing claims held against it. During the
year ending 18th November, 1851 /, the
payments from the Treasury, on account
of liabilities incurred by this road previ-
Gus to its transfer on the lst day Of
june, were s24, 900 80. The payments
into the Treasury on account of tolls re-
ceived to the same period, were but
Sl5,754 50, showing difference against
the road at the date of its lease by the
State, amounting to 1924 so. In ad-
dition to the liabilities above noted,
there were asccrtained claims exceeding
the sum of 81, 500, still to be n,et b. the
Treasury. After the disposal Of thos,,
the State is left free from u:tlcr cxpcn-
diturc on account of tka road until the
lst of June, 1861, deriving in the
meantime an annual rent of six thou
sand one hundred and FIVE dollars from
the parties to whom it was leased on
bond of ample amount, conditioned for
the keeping up and surrender of the
road at the expiration of their lease in
as good repair as it went into their pos
session. ..s
The amendatory laws of the last
Legislature of Ohio, throwing addition
al checks ,round the disbursement of
the public money, although concentra-
ting upon this efice large amount of
additional labor, are in the course of
successful operation and have been at
tended by highly beneficial results

LIBEL.-Judge BoswoRTH, of New
York Superior Court, has, in deciding
libel case against the New York Sun,
laid down with gratifying distinctness
most important principle. He said:
"The rule is that party who justi6es'
the publishing of a libel by attempting
to proVethat what was published was
true, must show that in its substance
and meaning the facts were as the aEti'
ole states, and, although evory part Of
the article claimed to be libelous as
whole is not proved to be true by the
defense, yet if what is left is not Of It.
self libslous, the defense in made out.
The law allows man to publish any
thing of another, provided it is true, and
it is complete defense that the article d

Mysterious Case. -. t.-

About O'Clock on Tuesday night, as one of the
officers attached to squad No. 2 was patrolng his
beat in the dark, he discovered two men in company
with Young girl, under very suspicious circumstan.
ces. The men, as soon as thew saw the officer, fled
and left the GIRL whom the officer found to be in a
stupe6ed state, and incapable of even walking. He
took her to the Chiefs Office, and rcstoratives were
applied by officers Owens and Matthews, and after
two hours the girl was able to tell her name, which
she said was Catherine Welsh, and gave her resi-
dence in Orchard street, near Grand. The girl had
bottle in her possession, which smelt strong of rum
and opium. She no doubt met by some rcamps,
who piled her with drugs until she knew not what
she was about. She was evidently servant girl,
but how she became drugged, who did it, is a
mystery She remained in stupefed condition all
night. 20"
