day evening last, by an esteemed lady of that
place. Mrs. Elizabeth Kemp, wife of William II.
Kemp. The deceased had been laboring under
great depression of spirits for several days pre-
viOus to her demise, caused, it is supposed, by
rather delicate health, as no other reason could
be assigned. On the evening above mentioned
she retired about the usual hour, but got up
some time in the night, without disturbing any
member of the family, and went into the yard
Her husband, missing her about four o'clock in
the morning, wentout in the yard, where he
fund her lying in the cold embrace of death,
with her throat cut, and the razor, which she
had used for that purpose, by her. A coroner's
jury of inquest was held on Thursday, and the
verdict rendered, was: That, Mrs. X. came 10
her death by cutting her throat while mentally
deranged.

CE3- Judge Bronson's "opinion on the Pro-
hibitory Law is published. The Re(ormer says
it is the seventh ono of the course. The Judge
brings out nothing particularly new in this sew
enth plea for rumseling, but we must quote
the touch at fanaticism
+" The abuse of intoxicating drinks beran as
long ago as the time of Noah; and their laws
were either written or dictated by the Almiph-
ty, the temperate use Of intoxicating liquors
was not prohibited, nor was it forbidden By the
Saviour nor by Paul, nor by any one else until
we got down to the fanaticism of our own
times"
Following in the wake of the Judge, DEM
ocratlc exchange says that Mahomet was a
prohibitionist-that is, he forbade the use of
wine, but Christ did not. Our insane rulers
have taken the former for model, and reject
ed the latter"

I'm the 18th day of March, 1855, an advertisement
~ tina nv goods had been dis;rain-d and would be
sold at public auction for rent George f.. Kirk,
appeared IN the Evening Star. As such an adyer-
usement, IT Unexplained, would have tie tendency
to injuIe my credit which is my o.ily fortune, and
only means of supporting my family, make the fol
lowing statement:
On the lst day of August, 1854, ] ent. red into an
agetment TO lease, for five yeas, from Geo. L. Kirk
the part of lot No. -, in Square No All and prem
iSes, tor S4OO per annuni. M. Kirk on his part
agreeing TO furnish a new planning Machine and all
It's fixtures, at his C, ST, and have them finished fully
for Use within two months from said LIST >ugut
1854. This MIR. Kirk failed to do. The said ma
chime was NOT finished and fitted up for for two
months after the unexpected. This great
loss t. me. The planning machine worth more
than all the machinery on the premises. MIR. Kirk
further agreed 10 build brick shop said ground,
move and set all the machinery, and put them il
good running order, at his own cost and expe MS.
MIR Kirk has entirely failed 10 perform his part OF
agreement, ana vet demanded of me- the payment OF
the full rent of S400 per annGm, for old shop
without roof or glass in the windows, shutters TO
keep out the cold. Ii is impossible for any to
work IN the shop In rainy weather, or 10 keep any
thing dry. man cannot carry on business in the
shop in its present condition. | think when Mr.. X.
weighs the matter well in his mind his conscience
will not let him charge me as much rent for an old
shop that Is IN a manner worth nothing, as have
had 10 pay for a new one If Mr.. X. had demanded
of me small and just rent, would have settled il
with him, notwithstanding the failure 10 comply
with his agreement. J. w. JORDON.
