The ANNA MEIsTER DELUs1oN. Anna
Mester, the young German woman who af-
tempted to swindle the Philadelphians, by
pretending to be daughter of God, the sister
of Christ, and that she was sent to warn and
prepare the people for the end of the world,
has been tried and acquitted, but ordered to
pay costs. This woman found plenty of peo-
pie to credit her blasphemous stories, and
swindled them out of large guar titles of cloth
ing, jewelry, &C., on the pretence that she
needed such things for the service of God.
But conspiracy to defraud, with which she
was charged, could not be proved.

A VALUABLE DIsINFEoTANT. One pound
of green copperas, costing seven cents, dis
solved in one quart of water, and poured
down priyy, will effeetually concentrate and
destroy the foulest smells. For water closets
aboard ships and steamboats,, about hotels,
and other public places, there is nothing SO
nice to cleanse places, as simply green copper
as dissolved; and for sick rooms, it may be
placed under the bed in any vessel that will
hold water, and thus render hospital, or
other places for the sick, free from unpleasant
smells. For butchers stalls, fish markets.
slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever there
are offensive putid gases, dissolve copperas
and sprinkle it about, and in few days the
smell will pass away. If cat, rat, or mouse
dies about the house, and sends forth an Of
fensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in
an open vessel near the place where the nui-
sance is, and it will soon purify the atmos-

SUIT FAR BREACH OF PROMISE OF MAR
RIAGE.-We hear that within a few days
suit has been commenced by citizen of Dor
chester, against one of our most distinguished
physicians and surgeons, for breach of prom
Use of marriage on the part of his wife, who,
before her marriage to her present husband,
was widow, her former husband having died
at Rome year or two since. The amount of
damage named in the writ is $40, 900, and it
was duly served by attaching defendants
property, when the necessary bonds were at
once forthcoming. The defendant and his
wife sailed for Europe some weeks since, and
are, as is supposed, in utter ignorance Of the
commencement of the suit. The defendants
agent has retained for him the services of
Messrs. Choate and Chandler. Should the
case be pressed to a trial, it will probably
come up in the Supreme Court Boston Trau.

CHEERING PREDIoTIoNs.- The following
predictions from the New York Independent,
are in gratifying contrast with the grumbling
of which we hear so much:
l. Our opinion is, that the t'crises' SO
long talked of by the whole tribe of long.
faced Bears, has been indefinitely postponed.
2. We believe that the money market will
continue to improve, that the present "street"
rates of interest will not be maintained
through the remainder of the season, and
that the bank rate will be easy at 7 per
cent. tHt
3, In regard to the crops, having had the
privilege lately of personal observation in at
least thirteen Of the Northern States, we are
OF the opinion that the aggregate yield will
be far greater this year than ever before.
4. II is our opinion that most descriptions
of stock have 'touched bottom" and that
those who have money lying idle had better
be in haste about making investments.
5. We believe that the prospect for trade
generally is encouraging.
g. 1t is our opinion based upon private adj
vices from California, that the yield of gold at
the mines, and the shipments thence the re-
mainder of the year, will be larger from now
till January than during any other cores
ponding period, i. e. Fall months. 5.u
Il. we CelleFe tudt uuduClal I0aILerS ABROAD
will. from this date steadily improve; that
the Banks of England and France will con-
tinue their rates OF interest, in consequence
oil rapid accumulations of specie.
s.. In conclusion, we give it as our opinion
that all croakers should stop their mouths I;
that idlers should 60 to work and that ev-
erybody should expect prosperity if they
'mlnd their own business" 4,la1
These are our deliberate opinions, based
upon ''peculiar and reliable information"
We n,ay be mistaken if SO, we will con-
graduate ourselves tnat others much wiser
than we are, have made similar or worse
blunders."
The Philadelphia Inquirer thus clhses re.
view of the present state of business
The country is, in the main, prosperous;
and as long as this prosperity has for its basis
the industry and energy of the masses, its
| foundation cannot be shaken. There have
been too many idle, reckless spectators liv-
ing upon plumber, but after all, these are in a
lean majority. A majority of the people of
the, Unitad States a.e at this moment engaged
! in productive labor, and SO long as they con-
tinue in this calling, the prophets of blue
rain may blow their dismal trumpets until
their cheek split without being able to bring
about the disaster they predict Like a howl
sng dog, they may keep neavous people awake
o'nights, but the sun will shine and the grass
] grow nevertheless"

HfNDoo CAsrEs.-Up to the present time.
each caste among the Hindoos has not only
been self governed, and separately organized,
but may be looked upon as a separate nation
unconnected by blood, pursuitp, or sympa-
thies with the population around it. Hence
it is that there is no such thing as Hindoo
public opinion SO long as man preserves
the good opinion of his caste, he may commit
the gravest crimes against the general public,
the grossest prejudices or frauds that would
demand exclusion from society, ttill if his
case is uninjured by him, he is not deemed to
bear any blct on his escntcheon.-B Bird eya
