A CAUTION TO scoLDs.

The following act of Assembly was passed
i'll Virginia in 1852:
Gan ACT FOR PUNISHMENT OF SCAN
DALOUS PERsONs-Wher many bah
bling women SANDER and scandalize their
neighbors, for which their poor husbands
are often involved in chargeable and vcxa-
tious suits and costs in great damages:
''Be it therefore enacted by the authority
aforesaid, that in actions of SANDER, occa-
stoned by the wife, after Judgment passed
for damages, the woman should be punished
by ducking; end if the SANDER should be so
enormous as to be judged at greater DANA
Ges than five hundred pounds of tobacco,
then the woman to suffer a duclzing for each
five hundred pounds of tobacco adiud~ed
against the husband, if he refuses to paw
the tobacco"
We have no authority for saying that this
act has been repealed. 1T might be well
for 9 babbling women,'' if such there be- to
remember it.

FREAK OF A LUNAr1c.

We mentioned, short time since, that
DIR. Headen, of Floyd county, had been sent
to the Lunatic Asylum, Staunton.
The Salem Register states that when DIR.
Stribling was called to attend the trial OF
Graham, at Wytheville, he left with DIR.
Headen instructions relative to the position
that he wished him to give to some of the
inmates of the Asylum; this, he expected,
would give both employment and satistac-
ton to the DIR. in his absence. But, in this
Dr. Stribling was mistaken; for, very short
lv after his arrival at Wythe Court House,
DR.. Headen also appeared, and, going to
the Register entered IT. Headen of the
Wester Lmatic Asylum" When asked
why he had come he stated that he had
come to watch over DIR. Striblng-the DR..
had told lie on him by saying he was in
sane, and he did not know but that he might
coma there and swear to one that might en-
danger the life of the prisoner. We learn
that the DR.. deported himself very well
while there-was frequently in the Court
House, and seemed to take considerable in
terest in listening to the testimony. When
DR.. Stribling got ready to leave, he had to
procure the arrest of DIR. Headen, before he
would go with him.

NEwaAMPSHIRE DEMOCRACY.

\ shorr time since, we laid before our readers
the Resolutions adopted by the Democracy Of
Georgia, at a largr meeting i'll which many of the
master minds Of the State participated at Mil

present TO or readers Con the fist Page) series of
admirable resolutions recently adopted by the
Democracy Of an opposite portion of the confed-
cracy: New-Hamp>hire, the Presidents State
1t viii be perceived that in the North and the
South the Democracy, the only party having any
nationality, avOw in substance the same pyinci-
pies, and breathe the spirit. In vicw of this
spirit everywhere, no fears need be entertained of
a want Of harmony in adopting a sound platform
in the Democratic National Convention.
TIL" compliment to the President. embraced in
the Ncw-Hampshirc resolutions, was appropriate
and well deserved. Franklin Pierce has been,

principles, and therefore, trnc 70 the great inte-

introduced as a compromise candidate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.
An intense excitement in regard to the or
ganization of the House of Representatives
exists here. Politicians of every stripe, and
many Office seekers, are here. Upwards of
one hundred members have arrived The
Democrats have given up all hope of elect
ing any Of the officers. Mr.. FOrney will be
'lt IJculOCidIlC CanuluaIC 1Or Clerk, and
Mr.. Richardson the candidate for Speaker
Gen. Cullom, of Tennessee, is considered to
stand the best chance for the Clerkship. 1t
Is understood that the Democrats have re-
solved to vote first and last for their caucus
nominees, refusing all coalition with other
parties. The Americans and Wings will
coalcscc, ana the Americans calculate on
gaining some recruits from the Democrats,
who are supposed to be on the anxious
bench"
About twenty members Of the American
party held an informal meeting this after
noon, for consultation IN reference to their
course in the election of officers. The De-
mocrats and the Ohio delegation are each
holding private meetings tonight, inter
changing views on the same subject. The
Republicans are still working to concentrate
all opponents OF the administration in a rem
eral caucus for the nomination of officers.
Several caucuses Will be held on Saturday.

A SHORT SESSION.

A FARMERS SPEECH.-The Clcaveland
(Ohio) Herald brings in q seasonabIe anec-
dote, founded on a resolution for adjourn
ment in the Legislature of that State-a
resolution which is invariably found to be a
waste of time. The incident is related to
show the excellent practical sense of Mr..
Leverett Johnston, member of the House ::
''The incident occurred in the session of
1637-'38, Mr.. johnson Then being a new
member. Some four weeks of the session
had EXPIRED when member offered a reso-
luton that the Legislature should adjourn
some time in the month of February ensu-
ing. The resolution elected warm discus
sion, and had pretty much used up whole
forenoon, when Mr.. johnson rose for the
first and perhaps the only time. He said, in
substance, that he was practical farmer
that it was not customary for farmers when
they went into their fields to sit down upon
the plough-tail and spend the day in decid-
ing 1chen they would go ho2e but they set
about their work, and when that was done
they went home. He added that he thought
the House had better follow the example of
the farmer and do up their a0ork and then
go home, and not waste any more time in
the present useless discussion. These
views met with the entire concurrence of
the body, and nothing more was said of go
ing home until the business was done"

EXCITING NEWS FROM KANSAS.

We have accounts from Independence
dated st. Louis, Nov. Both, 1876, stating
that three armed frce-States men had at
tempted to drive Mr.. Coleman, prO-slavc-
~ settler, from his claimnear Hickory Point.
Mr.. Coleman killed one of his assailiants,
when mob gathered to drive him and 9th
er settlers off, and then burned down their
houses. The rmglcader in this affair was
arrested by Marshal Jones, and taken to
LccOmpton. Governor Shannon has called
out the militia. Many citizens from hide
pendcncc, Weston and St. Josephs, have
gone to offer their services to the Governor
torestorc order. The people of Lawrence are
in arms, and have five pieces of artillery
\ number of houses have been burnt in
Douglas county, and several families driven
to Missouri for refuge. The law abidngpeo-
pie Of the Territory are rallying in large num-
bers to assist the Sheriff in the execution of
the laws. Sixteen houses were burned at
Hickory Point, and several of its citizens
were missing.
Governor ShannOn's recent course had
excited great disgust and establishment in
Kansas, among the free soilcrs. A petition
is in circulation praying the President to
remove him Immediately. \ call has been
issued by more than hundred prominent
for and-order meeting, to
assemble i'll Lcavenworth city, next Friday.
