A Point of Law.

A curious question for the law
yers has arisen in London. A lady
was courted by gentleman, who pro.
posed to marry her and she accepted.
But he didn't fulfill his promise and she
sued him for the breach. 1t turned
out, however, that he could not mar.
ry her because he had wife living at
the time. In answer to the suit, he
says. 'Earks is wiling, but the law
won't allow it. and the lady can only
demand q fullillment of his engage
ment BY IN act con,ra bosos more.'--
The question then arises, What dam.
age has the lady sustained in not be-
ing married to a married mani
There is a subtlety of cauistry sug-
gested by this, which the Chief Baron
himself did not like to encounter, and
an arbitration was recommended.

PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

The following lines show what affection
may spring up between school boys. y.
Farewell my friend How can part
From one so dear to me?
Can pleasure ever soolhe my heart
When am not with thee ?
Adicu but can the ties that bind
My heart TO thine eer break
Shall grief lake hold upon my mind
A sorrowIng pong to awake F?
My weeping eyes may shed tear
And grief his keen pangs dart
But memory Of friend so dear
Will ne'er no ne'er depart,
We part-but where our lot may fall
Oar eyes now cannot see;
But memory will each scene recall
Which | have spent with thee.
Then in Thy future walk and ways
Look back upon me them
Well think Of those once happy days
But view them ne'er again.
When pleasures pictures all shall fade,
When years, long years, have passed
Let not oblivion e'er a shade
Upon my memory cast.
The pure affections Of my hear,
Upon thee have set;
They, from my mind, can ne'er depart,
MOI can ! thee forget.

TO the American Party of
FRANKLIN COUNTY.

At the solicitation Of q number Of
the friends of Native Americanism,
the proprietors of the Winchester APP
neal have undertaken the publication
Ola paper friendly to these principles,
and at a considerable risk to them
selves-having freighted allthcirhopcs
and small means upon the chance Of a
liberal support, and the expectation Of
a patronage that would enable them
to make paper worthy Of success
There are more than four hundred 70.
ters in Franklin county in favor fNa-
tive Americanism, and there are many
Of this number who do not patronize
this paper. 1t is to this county, par
ticularly, that the p' oprietors look for
encouragement, and by Il very small
outlay, that would not be felt by the
people, this paper could be placed
upon permanent basis, and take a
position of equality, at least, with the
better half otthe political journals OF
the State.
An exciting and important contest
is coming on, and this papercannot be
made useful to any great extent un-
less an interest is taken to make it so,
by those who feel, or ought to feel, in
terestcd in the success OF their cherish
ed principles.
The friends of the American party
owe q duty to themselves to make an
effort to have their paper sustained by
arespectable subscription. There are
many who willingly send off to the
North the subscription price Of the Ap'
peal for worthless, chaiiy, Northern
tictions that are not worth the time
spent in reading them. 1t is full time
that the South should take the hint. tc
take care of itself. and let these sickly
treesoi sheets circulate within theil
own section.
tits hoped that an effort will be made
to increase our subscription list, il
this county at least. Get up you
clubs and bring them in, and we pledge
ourselves that the Appeal will i'm
prove with an increased ability to d'
so. And in order that it may be plac

WONDERFUL SAGACITY.-One Of the
most astonishing instances of the So
gacity Of the Dog transpired this
morning, which ever came to our
knowledge. The Mcssrs. Staude, To
bacconiSts, No. 80 Congress street,
closed their store last evening, leaving
their favoritc Newfoundland dog iu-
side. This morning on opening The
store, the floor in the back room was
found to be on fire, and the dog was
laboring with his fore feet and mouth
trying to stodue it. A pail Of water
which stood in the room had been
poured down ,he hole. The faithful
animal had so successfully combatted
the fire as TO prevent its spreading be-
yOnd a spot two OF three iroU square.
How long the noble lellcow had stood
sentinel and fought down the advanc-
ing flames can only be conjecturcd---it
must have been Soveralhours. His feet,
legs and mouth were badly yburned. and
it is feared that lac is seriously injured
internally by inhaling the hot air. lie
refuses food, and is apparently in much
pain, We trust the sagac;ous and
faithful creature is not dangerously
injured. This !, the same dog which
discovered the man LalIy on the ice
He is worth his weight in gold. and
may safely be pronounced the noDlcsr
Of his race.-Yroy Dojy Tines

FnLMoRE.--The United States Dem
ocratic Review for December, 1855,
commenting upon the compromise of
1850, thus speaks of Mr.. Fillmore:
Momentous events We're transpir-
ing. The agitation Of the question Of
Slavery was paramount in the public
mind. In this crisis, it was well that
so reliable man as Mr.. Fillmore was
found in the Presidential Chair. The
safety and perpetuity of the Union
were threatened, Already had Fanat-
icism raised its hydra-head. Schemes
and "isms" leapcd from a thousand
ambuscades. The enemies Of the
Union started forth on every side
abolitionism hcrc--secessionism there
Acquisition and FiIibusterism else
where. These were the formidable
elements of misrulc with which the
Executive had to cope. How well he
met, and how entirely he, for the time,
overcamc these enemies Of the peace
Of the Republic we leave to the histo,
rian to relate; but our retrospect
would be incomplete and disingenous
did we not accord the need Of praise
justly due to high moral excellence
and intellectual and Administrative
honesty and talent, as developed in the
Administration Of Mr.. Fillmore"

GOOD ADVICE.

Is it any body's business,
If a gentleman should choose
To wait upon lady,
If the 1Qdy don't refuse ?
Or, to speak little palmer,
That the meaning all MAJ know,
Is it anybody's business
If a lady has beau?
Is it anybody's business
When that gentleman doth call,
Or when lie leaves the lady,
Or if he leaves at all !
Or is it necessary
That the curtains should be drawn,
To save from further trouble.
To outside lookers.on?
Is it any body's business,
But the lady's, if her beau
Rideth out with other ladies,
And doesn't let Ter snow!
Is it any body's business,
But the gcntlemon'S, if she
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance to be
If a PERSONS on the sidewalk,
Whether great, OF whether small,
Is it any body's business
Where that person means 70 call
Or if you see person
While he's calling any where,
Is it any of your business
What his business may be there
The sub tance Of our Gu y,
Simply stated, would be this;
Is it any body's business
What aaother'S business IS
Whether It's, or whether t isn't,
We should really like to know,
For we're certain if IL isn't
There are some wh0 make it so.
If it is, wc'Il join the rabblc,
And act the noble part
OF the tattlers and defamers,
Who throng the public mart:
But if MT. we'll act the teacher,
Until each meddIor learns
1t were better, in the iuure,
To mind his OWN concerns.
