that Jefferson had fine benefit on Saturday
night. He is not only at the head Of his pro-
fession Is an artist, but he ia gentleman in
every sense Of the word, and it gives US salts
faction to record the success Of enc every way
so worthy.

q handsome acknowledgment on the part of
the public Of the qualification afforded by his
lsbors. This is also the last night Of the Nsiad

SoIcIDE.-0n Wednesday morning last, the
body of a man apparently about fifty years Of
age was found suspended by the neck from a
tree, in Fairfax county, Va, near the resi-
dence Of Maj VIM ID. Mutt, about nine miles
from this city. 1t was impossible to deter
mine how long he had been dead. The inves-
tigatiOn before a coroner's jury led to the i'm
preston that it was the body of person called
Addison Brown, from Washington city, who
had been 10 that neighborhood for some days
hunting o witness to his service In the MeXi-
can war, to euable him to obtain land war
rant. From his t.ttered and utterly worthless
clothes and the fact that nought besides but
a key was found on him u was clear that he
WAS mhersbly poor.
upon the footing offered in the act of Congress

desired by the people. Returns from three
" the election districts have been received
oy the clerk Of the Levy Court Of the follow
iug charsstsr; District No. l voted for
" SCHOOL, and - for "no school," district
No. voted o fog and 10 against, and district
No. bikeuise gave vote for and ~ against
q school. The very decided sentiment ex-
pressed in these votes indicates the necessity
ofrevising the act of Congress and making il
comfortable TO the popular wish Ii seems
thai the grand objection to the system proposed
IN the act is that the control does 10: lie ia the
people themselves, bat in the Levy Court
