Mrs. PARr1NGToN ON GARoTING.--" People
earretcd in New York." said Mrs Partingt on
as she heard for the first time of new mode
of choking money out Of people. She remem-
bercd simply the name, and construed it her
own way. People garreted in New York ;
WE'LL it is MT so bad, after all, as being cellared
in Boston, where wretched men and women live
more like rats than Christians, under ground,
and their children sprout in the damp air like
potatoes. These garreted people must be the
ones that write the poetry for the papers, be-
cause they have always lived in 'em and had
their ideas come in through the sky light like
pigeons through barn window. Bnt the poor
things that lives i'll the cellars, heaven save 'em,
can't help it. There they be, like Daniels in
the lions den, with rags on their backs and
misery on their faces that little soap and
water would help some Talk Of being garreted
depend upon it, being cellared is a great deal
worse" She here subsidized, as the murmur of
water subsidies when the Jug empties itself, and,
lost amid the whir of cleaning knitting needles,
she became oblivious, forgetting that Ike was
round near where the preserve jar stood.

STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND THE FuGrr1vE SLAVE LAW
These institutions seem likely to come into
collision again. in the State of Ohio Sometime
since an attempt was mldc to arrest o fugitive nam
ed Addison, but the fractions and badly broke
chattell, retorted upon the U. s. Marshall with a
pistol shot SO discrectly aimed that retreat was
deemed advisable.
Now, smother attempt to arrest has been made
this time upon white citizen of Ohio, charged with
assisting the fugitive. The u s. officer missed the
intended prisoner but seized his son. and was march
ing him off in the midst of not very sober and or
derby posse, when the Sheriff of Clarke county came
up with habeas corpus to demand the surrender Of
the victim Threats were used and rcvolvcrs fired,
and the conflict issued IN the discharge of the young
man, and the binding over OF the Marshall and his
posse to answer to the State Of Ohie at Cincinnati
for an assault with intent to murder her Shelffs.
The above makes long story short. The story is
not yet Anshed and shall look with interest for
the continuation.

Teach your children to say No. and then with
proper self respect and due dignity conduct your
SELVES in their presence. and in the presence of
your elders and snperiors, and they will soon
enough learn where the Sir and Madam belongs.
There is more in good sturdy No, pronounced
with frmness, than in thousand mincins NO
Sirs. And the man that says No, and stands by
it stands higher in community, and bears more
weight in his neighborhood, poor and hi''ef"'e
,hou.h he may be. than the slnoothes', highes.
cultivated tactitian, that ever said Yes, and
meant lie. There's world of Importance IN
this little wnrd-yet how few men are able to
pronounce it unfaiterngly, and how fewer SUI
able 10 pronounce it at all. Some from po'lcy al
WAYS say YES; some from cunning; some from
knayery at heart hut the majority OF mankind.

nile of ur nature. and often the least estesmed
Drink, says the convivial friend to his temperance
brother; i: will not hurt you. and th"re are no
tell tales in my parlor The cup is tasted, and
the man started on the road to ruin because he
cannot say No. Stay, says the man that has no
other business than to kill time, and to crafty his
base profession would tempt you from your duty
and for want OF being able to say no, you stay
making stor-the torerunner Of habits as dissi-
pated and idle as his. Try again, says the man
with the dice box and try again it is, and the
ruin Of fellow creature is complete.
Teach your children to say No. Not from i'm
pulse, not from pertness, hut from imitation Of
yourselves, whose No in the community where
YOU live is like the last blow of hammer which
has clinched the nail in its socket. There's q
deal Of virtue in the word-far moro in having the
courage to say it-and still more in being able te
stand by it when said. The man that always
says Yes. is generally liar. But the man tina
always says No, though he be tyrant or miser is
seldom hyporrte.

The body of the murdered woman at
Newburgh has been identified as the wife
of French negro by the name of Brown,
living at Lowell. He has been on to New
burgh, and has identified her. She had
left Boston for New York, in consequence
of being about to be tried for larceny IN
the City of New York, and that was the
last Brown had heard of her. As she had
left him several times before and was liv-
ing in New York Under improper circum-
stances, Browh supposed that she became
conversant with some crime committed by
some desperate men of her acquaintance,
and was murdered by them to get rid Of
her testimony. The Newburgh Coroner
is now in search for these men.

The CoNEr-A New THEORY A correspon-
