REFRRsHINGLy CooL.-A conductor on
New England road was sent for by the
President or Superintendent of the road one
day, and rather ,summarily informed that
after that week the company would no, re-
quire his services. He asked who/was TO
be bis successor, and the name was given
him. He then asked why he was to be re-
moved. After pressing the question for
come time, and falling 10 obtain satisfac-
tory exp analion,a little light dawned upon
him, and he addressed his superior officer
nearly as follows: "You are about making
a great mistake, sir, great mistake. You

asplendid gold watch and an elegant dia-
mond ring. That fsliow you haze chosen

elusive, and the conductor was allow edh to

DIYoReE WANrsDs-In the proceedings
Of the New York Legislature last week, We
notice aspe.ition introduced in the Senate,
on Friday. by Mr.. Spencer. from Mrs.
Mary r. Pell Of this village, asking tho
todisorce her from her husband.
Mr.. S.reniaTked that the petition was of a
nature the like of which he had never be-
fore been called upon to present. If the
attending circumstances of this case were
.ot an ordinary character, the petition would
never have found its way to the Presidents
desk through his instrumentality. But
brief statement of the facts, he thought
would satisfy Senators that however strong
the objections were to dissolution of the
marriage contract generally by human laws,
Everything Went to show the necessity for
it in this case. This is indeed a sad and a
very peculiar case, said Mr.. s., and one in
which the petitioner is advised, by. her
counsel. the Courts can afford her no re-
lief Early inliie this lady, daughter of
one of our most wealthy and respected mer-
chants, was married to young gentleman
in every particular suitable to be her COM
panion through this checkered life. They
entered the married life with the best wish
es of their friends, and with prospects Of a
life all happy before them. But. alas
few short years of anxious mercantile life
are found to affect the health of the young
husband. He is struck down in fit, and
insanity soon follows. All attempts to 70.
store his health prove fruitless, and at the
end of two and half years the fond wife
is forced to see her cherished partner the
inmate of Lunatic Asylum. Thus sepa-
rated from his young wife and his two
children, (now become Of age,) the fruits
of his marriage, the husband remained
| confirmed lunatic for a score of years. The
petitioner, for more than twenty three years.
has been living life of retirement, hoping
against hope that the partner of her early
life might be returned to her. His case is
now indeed hopeless; and the true atfec-
ton OF woman and wife, she has gen.
erously set apart for him, from the income
bequeathed her by her father, for his MAIN
tenance, the liberal sum of $4,000. From
| her income she has also saved small
| fund, which she desires to invest in real
| estate; but being advised it could not DO
sold, should such disposition of it be de-
sible, without the consent Of her husband
and that being impossible forever to OBJ
tain, she has reluctantly consented 10 fol-
low the advice Of her friends, and hence
she petitions the Legislature for divorce.
MIR. s. closed by characterizing it as case
every way worthy OF the interposition of
the Legislature.

no doubt. seriously. and often in all minds.
If depression and decline are Inevitable,
and must be permanent, we bow mutely to
thai. doom. Let us go down in the digni-
ty Of silence to oblivion, neither ending
the fates, nor by whining contrast the
times with better days, driving lower the
steep shaft Of a runious fall. If, however,
to see the evil, is to know the remedy, let
US look it in the face. Ten years ago
the smoke of our dwellings cufled cheer
fully upon the wintry morning air! To-day,
on the chimney tops Of seventeen houses,
Twelve of them in one sireet,) The snow
lies undissolyed- drifts ike winding
sheet about the door-ways, trayersed only
by yawling cats in their ghostly night
walking.
Is he future more promising How
many abodes would be closed by single
death in each! How many families by
the same cause would desperation among
US altogether.
Other households must indeed come in
but the tendency is toward merely a
Summers residence, rather than constant
Inhabitaiion. No wonder. The place is
delightful as a SINNERS resort, but who
cares to be shut up in Winter where neith-
er business nor intellectual Inducements in
| wife or urge his stay Is it not sadly pro-
bable that the migratory population of this
borough will increase, and Win,er-scene
/ become more and more desolate I OF the
number who yet hibernate here, not many,
if able to remove during the cold season,
would remain. 1t is not because our Win
| tiers are more severe than elsewhere The
average fal. of the thermometer is not so
| low by some degrees as at Hartford. With
sufficient motive, people find any place
tolerable enough, however cold The SIM
! pie fact is, nothing offers inducemen, to
active, business.like persons, who might
upon fair incentives become permanent re-
sidents, and they who live upon their
wealth choose the shelter of city until
the warmer months.
So far as the restoration Of lucrative bu-
siness is concerned. there is little hope for
The better. Manufactures Of every descrip-
ton seek the valleys for water power and
facility Of transport. 1t is scarcely proba-
Bile that even Lock Company will be tried
again. If any thing can help the case
can refill the half abandoned houses, and
redeem our streets from SO mournful like
ness to those Of Jerusalem during the cap
tivity-it must be an interest capable of
existence aside from railways and water
privileges. Can any one hint at such a
good in some practicable form! Perhaps
so. At all events let US endeavor it A
project may be worth something for its in
herent good will, even if i, fails of being
realized.
