GOing TO Law.

We find the following in an ex-
change, and give it, for the benefit
Of our readers, advising, at the sane
time, all those who have petty omar
rels and disputes about similar mat
ters, to settle them at home None
but fools rush to the strong arm of the
law for help-wise men never 90 to
law, unless compelled to do so:
Upwards Of eighty years ago, there
wassin the town of Hatherleight, in
the county of Devon, an inn, known
by the name of the Clients Arm
There was a swinging signboard, on
one side Of which was man. strip
ped of his coat and waist-coat, ex-
claiming, I've been to law aud have
won, and on the other side of this
signboard was painted a man stark
crying out, oh! what shall |
do? | have been to law and have
LOST The origin of which was this:
Two men had dispute about lit
tie spot Of land, respecting which end
ed in the verdict of a jury. The
man against whom the verdict was
given could rot pay the cost, and the
winner had to pay all his own. In
fact, the loser was stripped of all his
the victor, was obliged to
sell his real estate, and took an inn,

The KnoW-NOthiDs Bridge.

Why don't the National Know
Nothings go over to Banks and Or
ganize the House at once? They
have constructed bridge which will
afford them safe transit and they
will have about as much chance to
get back to Congress by crossing over,
as they will by standing where they
are.
The "Nationar Know.Nothings
consider Fuller first-rate man-per-
fectly sound ON the slavery question
and vote for him. Mr.. Fuller
thinks there is none so well qualified
for the position, none so near "right
upon the goose" as Pennington, and
votes for him. Pennington thinks
that Banks holds the right views up
on the slavery question-besides he
is good Know Nothing, and quail
fed in other respects--and sticks to
him. 1t is true, Banks is Black
Republican, but Pennington can vote
for him, for he is of the same stripe;
and Fuller can vote for Pennington,
because he was also elected as Free
Soiler and nti-Nebraskaite; and if
he has sold out his constituency, the
conditions were the Speakership,
which failing, we suppose the bargain
will be at an end.
ALI these men are sound about a.
like, and the Southern Know Moth
ings might as we'll vote for one as an
other. 1t will signify but little, as
none of them will ever get back to
Congress after having voted for Full
Ter in preference to Richardson.

LIABILITY OF LANDLORDs.-In a
case befole Judge Storer, Of Cincin-
natl, where landlord sued for rent,
the tenants set up counter claim for
damages, because, during the exist
ence of their tenantcy, ION verbal
lease,) the roof had been damaged,
and the landlord declined to repair
the roof Judge StOrer intimated
that it vas a serious question, which
should be settled, whether person
who holds property from year to veal
has any right to compel his landlord
to repair. He has no right (observ.
ed the COURT by the common law
late authorities in England exclude
the right altogether. and in New York
the rule is wei settled that, in case
like this, unless there is an expires;
agreement on the part of the landlord
to repair, the tenant takes the build
| ing as it is.

London Banking and Forged Bills.

Chamber Journals the authority
for the following statement. Our
readers viii agree with Us when wa
say that we do not believe that there
is bank in America which. would
dishonor itself by discounting or re-
ceiving across its counter piece Of
forged paper:
"Who, for example, would suppose
that London firms of character and

matically in forged bills? Yet, such
is actually the case. A great many
dealers whose names alone can some
times turn the current of the market.

stow away these bills, just as they

customer FORCES to his bill the name.

risk upon all payments, make all
sacrifices, rather than leave these
bills unpaid, with the terrible conse-
'quences of their examination. The
customer, in fact, says to the dealer.

Religion would appear to be at
low ebb among the Chinese. The
priest sits down in front of an altar
with a small taper burning, and with
a small mallet in one hand and a
string of beads in the other, he begins
to hum or half sing a certain number
OF words. This appears to be all the
worship they have, and their beliefs
that the priest can and must do all
the praying. There appears to be no
solemnity attached to this service by
the people or the priest.

Experience, gathered from events
which have transpired since my last

Of the propriety Of making provision,

believed to be advisable to maintain,
in time of peace, a larger force OF
that arm than can be usually en-
ployed in the duties appertaining to
the service of field and siege artil-

its various branches belong to the

The phrase at par does not mean
that the paper must be received in

equivalent to gold and silver for all
ordinary business transactions, they
are at par within the true intent and
