Married in Spite of Themselves.

Old Governor Saltonstall, of Connecticut,
who fourisbed some ff$y years since, was a
man of some humor, as well rs perseverance
in effecting the ends he desired. Among
other anecdotes told of him by New London
people, the place where he resided, is the
following:
Of the various sects which have flour
ished for time and then ceased to exist,
was one known as the Rogerites, so called
from their founder-a John or Tom or some
other Rogers-who settled not far from the
goodly town aforesaid.
The distinguished tenet of the sect was
the denial of the propriety and scripturality
of the form of marriage: 1T is not good
for man to be alone' This they believed,
and also that one wife only should ''cleaye
to her husband - but then, this should be
a matter of agreement merely, and the cou-
pie should come together and live as man
and wife, dispensing with all forms of the
marriage covenant. The old Governor used
frequently to call upon Rogers and talk the
matter over with him, and endeavor to cou-
vince him of the impropriety of living with
Sarah as he did. But neither John nor Sa-
rah would give up the argument. 1t was a
matter of conscience with them-they were
very happy together as they were-of what
use then could mere matter of form be :?
Suppose they would thereby escape scandal;
were they not bound to '.take up the cross, -
and live according to the rules they pro-
fessed The Governors logic was power
less.
He was in the neighborhood of John one
day, and meeting with him, accepted an in
vitation to dine with him. The CONVERSE
ton, as usual, turned upon the old subject.
"Now, john" says the Governor, after a
long pause, '.why viii you not marry Sarah?
Have you not taken her to be your welded
wife ?''
Eyes, certainly" replied John, ''but my
conscience will not permit me to marry her,
in the form of the worlds people,
very well. But you love her.
Yes"
'tAnd cherish her, as bone of your bone
and flesh of your flesh %
eyes, certainly do
''And you, Sarah, love him and obey him,
and respect him and cherish him %
Yes"
''Then,'' cried the Governor, rising, Sin
the name of the laws of God and of the
Commonwealth of Connecticut pronounce
you to be husband and wife,
The rawlings and rage of John and Sarah
were of no avaiEthe knot was tied by the
| highest authority in the State.

American VS.. England---A New Chal-
lenge.

We are informed by gentlemen who have
just returned from England, that an arrange
ment is in progress, by which English hors-
es are to meet ours on our own ground, for
stakes of f50OO, or S25, 900, at single dash
es of one, two and three miles, each party
to name their horses at the post. We have
some hopes that this meeting may be brought
about. The relative merits of the racers of
the two countries viii not be truly tested
until the English meet US on our tracks, as
we have met them on their turf. We will
make it an object for them to try us here, ii
they viii only come over. If such gentle
men as Messrs. Hunter, Morris, Gibbons,
Rowland, Lloyd, Monnot, etc., viii under
take this matter, the thing would undoubt-
eddy succeed, and the pride of this country
meet, perhaps, with profound qualification

Indian Tribe Become Citizens.

An interesting incident occurred on the
3Oth ult in the Office of Indian Affairs
A treaty was concluded and signed by the
Commissioner and a delegation of Ottawas
from Kanzas, by which this baud of Ind
ians surrendered their tribal character and
became citizens of the United States. The
delegates appeared highly delighted after
the treaty was signed, and enjoyed the pros
pect of becoming fellow citizens. After a
ratification by the Senate they surrender
their reseryation-seyenty-fo -four thousand
acres-only to have it again patented to them
individually. They also release the United
States from all annuities and other claims,
and receive in lieu thereof sixty-six thou
sand dollars, in two equal instalments, the
first instalment payableon the ratification Of
the treaty, and The second, one year there

Or take snooze, when you're in want of rest,
On our big prairies in the Ear West"
Or when you're dry, might cool your heated liver
By slipping up the Mississippi River.
As for companions, should you wish for any,
Why we've got the Catskil and the Allegheny;
You may accept them with impunity.
They both stand high in our community.
Give Us call. You'd almost step from hence;

What the Editor Said of the Devil

Let others pray for peace on earth,
And hone for the millennium's birth
For one, hate such driyel;
Whene'er close my closet door,
pray that discord evermore
May reign supreme from shore to shorei
] shout to Lucifer, Encore.
And thank God for the Devil
For, what in the deuce would we editors do,
If all women were ehaste, and gentlemen truef
L faith, we would be in terrible stew
Our paper, good christians, would never suit you,
Unless they were records OF crime;
Unless rapine and rapes, and murder most foul,
Unless deeds that make sanetiied Puritans scowl
Were daily recorded,
The pubIic's sordid,
It never would pay Us a dime,
Unless we supplyit
Although saints deery 1t,
Its daily allowance of-siime!
l hope it's not SINFUL but whether or not,
am free to declare,
Old Nicks the best friend that the journalists got,
And don't think 1t fair
For an editor either to thwart or abuse
The schemes or the name of the-tather of news!

GOLD FROM AUsrRALIA.-We learn from
a statement recently made to the British
Parliament, that the gold shipped from the
several ports of Australia from the COM
n1encement of the gold discoveries in 1851
to the end of 1855, amounted to STA, 292,
$50, being an annual average of S43, 573,
9o5. The yield of the mines has been on
the increase during the last two or three
years, SO that the total export up to the end
of the present year viii not probably fall
