Dnrlingten Cslsnixatlen ssciety.
The Society recently organised in this city, an
account Of which and the naraes Of the officers
wcrecently Published, II properly managed, will
bring good returns TO those who invest in it and
be tho means Of comforting very considerable
benefits upon men Of very small means, who will
under its auspices, settle upon lands that they
can pay for all in good time at government
price, when they hare brought them into cult
vation and gather tho money from their pro.
ducts. There is also the advantage Of q unity
Of means and unity Of strength for protection
against the trials Of pioneer life. And no man
should, in our opinion, alone encounter all these
perils and deprivations upon the borders Of the
uninhabited prairie.
There IL yet another consideration. Many
persons spend considerable sums, little by little
every year. Could they be enlisted in project
where Titles count not largely, at least pro.
portionally to large sums, 1t would not only
render them happier and deprive them Of no
comfort, but bring in large returns and teach q
habit Of frugality and thrift. five understand
the object of this Society it is intended TO- let in
all who wish to contribute large sums or small,
and In this manner to create kind of savings
bank where many Titles, invested in ten shilling
land shall get to be many muckles.

THE WIFE OF DEAN THE CoAcHMAN--We I'M
derstand that Miss Boxer, who as yet has not
been subjected, as lioness to the vulgar gaze
of public curiosity, is a very lady-like and fra
gile creature of about twenty-five years Of age.
She loves John, and John most fervently reci-
procates her affection. She is ct present resid-
ing with her father, at the house of Mr.. Funk,
near relative, in West Twenty Second street.
She is not restrained of her liberty, and she as
serts that the marriage has not been consumma-
ted. Thus the Dean and Boxer case stands; and
the humble carpenter, who might have lived
and died in either capacity "unhonored and I'M
sung" is likely to prove lion of roma nee in
the city of New York, and send his name down
in our law books, either as martyr to the god
of Cupid, or most daring and successful lover.

day before he committed this rash act, he
appered to!be in good spirits, called on some
of his friends and told them he intended
to gobome-paid all the debts he owed
returned books he borro wed, and all the
time talked and laughed with his accus-
toned gaiety. In the evening, previous to

from his conduct, the silent determination
within. In the course of conversation
with some young gentlemen, one of them
asked "what is life?" The deceased
good humoredly replied, 'that he inten-
ded shortly to solve that problem"
1t was evidently his intention to put an
end to his existence by taking chloro-
form. He purchased bottle ofit-made
his bed on the counter down-took
an over dose-but it had not the fatal
effect. He then got ladder and rope,
and hung himself in ths loft Of the new
building adjoining the store. His toes

tied-he swung aside of the ladder, so
that he probably could have saved him.

A QUEER ELoPEMENr--A YOUNG GENT
SoLD.-The Baltimore Republican tells
q good story Of an elopement which re-
Gently occnred in that city. 1t seems
that young fashionable gent becoming
smitten with the charms a young lady
whom he had seen at May ball, pro-
cured an introduction, and solicited the
honor Of another interview. The young
lady, in reply, informed him that she was
the daughter of ia wealthy merchant re-
siding on Broadway, Fell's Point; but, in
consequence of her father being violently
opposed to the visit of any admircr oi
hers, it would be impossible for him to
make the evening visit for which he so
ardently longed. Finally, after pressing
entreaties, she gave her gracious consent
for him to call at her residence on the
following Sunday evening, between the
hours Of eight and nine o'clock. when her
father and mother, she alleged, would be
absent on their regular visit to church.
On the appointed evening the1ove strick-
en- swain was, Of course punctual in at
tendance, and was received in the kind
est and most affectionate manner, by his
lady love.
The upshot e the matter was, that an
elopement occurred and the parties were
married. After marriage the BRIDE
groom proposed that they should return
home and procure the fathers pardon.
Judge then ofhis dismay when, with
q trembling voice. she informed him that
although she possessed the name of the
gentleman in question shs was not related
to him in the slightest degree, and was
employed in his dwelling in the capacity
OF seamstrcss. Thus all his visions oil
secured fortune were scattered to the
winds; and the scene Of recrimination
which ensued was terribly out Of place
for . newly married couple.

Hon. OLIVER H. SMITH ON FILTRATION
In a recent suit for divorce in the Ma
rion Circuit Court, in which Hon. O. H.
Smith appeared for the defendant, he al
luded as follows to the published extract
from Mr.. Choate's speech in firtations:
read only this morning in a city pa.
per an extract from speech Of the Hon.
Rufus Choate, Of Boston, on Irritation. !
know Mr.. Choate well; he is one of the
most eloquent men of this or any other
country. Tread the sketch Of his speech,
and while | was delighted with his style,
l could not but feel that i, was the effort
Of q brilliant mind struggling with truth.
He too was dealing with the holy rela-
ton of husband and wife, and his great
effort was to prove that there may be
Irritation without crime. but even in that
he had to admit that crime in this general
rule, and that Irritation without crime
the exception-that the one as general
rule is the premonitory symptom of the
other. But Mr.. Choate seemed to forget
that the premonitory symptom, Irritation
is equally effectual to poison and destroy
the tender tie that unites husband and
wife, il continued against the wishes and
request of either as is the consummation
Of the crime. Shakespeare says, 81 would
rather be toad and live upon the vapors
Of dungeon. than keep corner in the
thing love for others uses.
