An English Judge, in charging the Jury.
warned them to be careful of evidence that

he had that very day an instance of its fall
liability. For (sad the Judge,) shen | ar

thai my pocket must have been picked on

utcs ago little circumstance convinced me
that felt it hanging at the right hand side
of nv bed, where, doubtless, 1t is now at
this very moment-therefore, gentlemen of
the jury, don't give credence to the impress
sion of any witness.
There was slight noise now. owing tc
two or three persons leaving the Court
Order being restored, the Judge concluded
his address.
About a quarter of an hour after the Judge
had made this allusion TO his watch, car
riage stopped at the Judges residence, from
which gentleman aliehted, who, ringing
at the bell, told the servant that the Judge
had sent him for his watch, which he hac
left in his room hanging at the right side o
mis- bed.
Concluding, from this minute description
that all was right, the watch was delivered
to the messenger, who drove away. Shortl.
after, another person came from His Homo
for the watch. When told that it had jus
been given to a gentleman, he gave vent t
Two or three oaths, and then departed. Ii
about another quarter of an hour, two other
came on similar errand.

LAW AND ORDER lLLUsTRATED.-In the
telegraphic dispatches announcing the sack
ing And burning of Lawrence, occurs this
expression; "The women and children
mostly escaped by the ravine west of the
CITY,"
On which a contemporary remarks. 1t is
interesting to inquire who were these wo-
men and children that mostly escaped, from
what they were escaping, and why they
were called upon to escape! The women
were the wives and daughters of American
citizens, residing upon American soil, ant
the children were their children. They were
escaping from burning homes and desolatec
hearths-from robbery, and outrage, anC
murder They were escaping from body
of peace officers, enlisted, armed and paid by
the government of the United States, ant
led by one of its executives for the purpose
they were called upon to escape because the
husbands and father were unwilling to ali
tn introduction of Slavery into the FIRE,
territory of Kanzas. 1t is pleasant, how
ever, TO know that they''mOstty' escaped.

Old Bells in Ohio.

7 In the courthouse at Lancaster, IN this
State, there hangs bell, and thereby hangs
a tale.' By Spanish inscription on its
side it appears that ii was cast early in the
fifteenth century--we forget the precise date
1t once belonged to convent in Spain
and the sounds which now summon to dull
disputes of law, and perhaps equity, the peo-
pie of a new town, in a new world, not
known when they first rang, often called the
nuns at morning and evening hours to mat
ins and to vespers. =.
The story as tradition hathlit, runs some
what after this fashion: Many years ago
when the banditti who infested some parts
of Spain, were so fierce and powerful, this
convent was sacked by them, and the be IL
being among the booty, was transferred to a
pirate ship. The ringing and swinging,
which had hitherto spoken in clear and mu-
sical tones across the hill and valley, only
of devotion and of prayer, was now changed
to the 'clashing and the clangor' which
struck upon the ears of the wild and desPer-
ate men, and surged sadly over the tumultu-
Gus sea.
How often it summoned the lawless crew
to deeds of pillage and murder may not be
said. The piratical vessel in its turn fell
into the hands of pursuing justice, and was
brought captive to the port OF Baltimore,
A gentleman ten contracting to build
court house for the town of Lancaster, pur-
chased the bell when the ship was sold, for
warGeG it to that village, and for years its
notes echoed by hills as beautiful as the
most romantic bell could desire, though its
uses can no longer be deemed piratical.
In Tiffin there is also bell which once
swung from the turret of castle on the
Rhine so that almost within speaking dis
tance of each other, these bells tell forth
their memories of the past, and it would not
be difficult to imagine that upon still sum-
mer mornings, they hold converse together
over their singular histories.-Cin. Times

Over eight hundred thousand collars is
the legacy bequeathed to the Republican
party by the late dishonest Locofoco cabal,
which has been squandered in every convin-

the presen: party has not decreased the levy
for the year 1856. The levy will not be as
great, by over million of dollars, as it was
last year, after giving the Republicans cred
it for the deficiency. We think that pret.
