AMALGsNAT1oE IN RosroS.--An ex-
change paper makes the assertion that
during the last year there were, accord
ing. to the Registrars report sixty cases
.of the interlnarriaSe Of white and color
led persons in Boston, and that, in every
instance, white females married eolored
males, there being no case of white
man marrying q coIored female. Upon
reference to the records, we learn the
facts in regard to amalgamation in Bos
ton to he as follows: The law of Massa-
chusetts forbidding such marriages, was
repealed about dozen years ago, and
since that time moi much more. than thir-
ty marriages Of this character have
taken place. In the year 1851 the num-
Der was twelve; in 1856 nine, and in
1854, two; in the other years since 1850
no such marriages are reported. In the
year 1856 there is, the. record of a mar
riage Of white male with q colored fc-
male; and it is the only marriage Of
this character noticed in the reports
50 far, the present year. there have been
a number of marriages between colored
males and white females; but there arc
no indications of an increase i'll that5res-
pect upon former years. uB. saaT

The Bristol temperance girls have
had to suffer for their cause. Five girls
were under arrest for racking a corner
grocery; but there were fourteenothers
in the transaction, and they all
attended court in q body, dressing alike,
marching and sitting together with 9
lac at their head. Messrs. Hutchins
and G. M. Tuttle volunteered to defend
them.s Judge Bmchard being the preser

prisoners claimed, and. established BY
proof that the grocery was nuisance @
under the law, and that they had a right
to abate the nuisance as atconmon law.
The Justices believed the concern d 11t1i-
