AN UNCOMMON occuRRENcr.-The Albany

AN UNCOMMON OccURRENcE.--The Albany
Knickerbocker says: ltef yae1
"a very singular affair occurred in the court
of general sessions at the last term A woman
was brought up and arraigned before her own
brother, who was on the bench, on the charge
of keeping house of prostitution. The broth
er sat motonless and pale as marble, but stern
and inhexible as the Roman father who passed
the sentence of death on his own son. The wo-
man. although old in crime and lost to shame,
was SO overcome by the scene that on reaching
her seat she wept burning tears 1t was a
scene that is rarely witnessed, and we hope neT-
er to see the like again."

George Law.

Bennett of the Herald, says of George Law:
"We petted. and coaxed, and shaved, and curled
the hair of Live Oak George, as it never curled
before ia order to make him available at Philadel-
ph,a and we left him in white cravat, with his
head powdered and perfumed, and from to toe in
excellent Trim for presentation at court But during
our absence last @Inter at Rome, and while doing
homage TO the Pope with Mr. Fillmore end other
Christian pilgrims the holy city, Live Oak George
was buried Philadelphia under parcel of fossils of
the old Connecticut sandstone formation. An aa
Gent Tyler man, Mr. Stiilwell by name, aud Mr..
Stevens OF the tenth downward qualification of the
rocks &C Mag ara, and some other preAdamte poft-
cal petritactons, took our live oak protege in hand
and petrifed him."
Live Oak" it appears, has gone over bag and
baggage to the enemies of the South. 1t would
seem proper that George Law" should be
the Higher Law candidate, but Fremont has
a larger purse. The friends OF that gentleman
have given George Law a specimen of California
Lynch Law, and there are none to lament "the
deep damnation of his taking off, A lawiess bu-
siness all round.

The Clergy opening the Cnmpaign.

The Chicago Times says il is now well under
stood that there is no intention to apply the mo.
ney collected at the Kansas aid meetings to any
other purpose than TO aid The freesoil parties to
carry the elections in certain northern States
Eighty thousand dollars is the amount required
to carry Illinois One of The most favorite modes
of conducting the canvass is to enlist the services
of the clergy, these gentlemen, having the war
rant to speak in their churches before men of all
parties have advantage that other abolition
and reasonable orators do not possess, and are
not above taking fair fees for their services.
In the North the free soil clergy have commence
ed the work with extraordinary ardor. Theodore
Parker will be the Peter the Hermit of the new
crusade. Of course, the clergy engaged in this
business are those principally who are called cler-
gy by courtesy semiinfidels of the Parker school,
Indifferent politicians and worse Christians.
