which a young lady is 'the bone of %conter-
ton" 1t appears that a Miss Emma Wright
accompanied her mother and some young
friends to one of the theatres, but, on stepping
out of the omnibus, slipped off with a gallant,
gay Lothario named Taylor, and got married
to him. She returned to the theatre, and
subsequently went home with, her mother.
Her husband claims her; but she is non est.
The case came up Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock. The return to the writ was made,
and the matter adjourned over. to, Tuesday
morning. The young husband is merchants
clerk. The Young lady il said to have pecu-
mary expectations.
Another account says the young darling is
but IA years of age, very handsome, of course,
and will soon come into possession of the snug
little sum of $50, 900. TIL merchants clerk

RoBBED.-A company of emigrants, num-
bering about thirty, en- 70 lite from N. G. to
Arkansas, says the Nashville Banner of the
18th inst, were relieved of that indispensable
necessity to comfortable traveling-their
money-yesterday. 1t appears their funds
consisted mostly in n. c.. bank notes, and the
cashier of the crowd accepted the kind offices
of a volunteer to have it changed without loss.
The accommodating agent was sent to perform
his office, and has not returned yet, and will
not, very likely. People who read the papers
and keep their eyes skinned-as everybody
should do nowadays, especially fthey have
to travel are not likely to be swindled in
such a barefaced manner as this.
NINETEEN MONTHS WIroUT FooD:-We
learn from the Albany Times that Mrs. Hays,
OF the town of Day, Saratoga county, New
York, whose case we detailed some time since,
and who had lived nineteen months without
food or drink, died a week or two ago. She
remained insensible for nineteen months of

when she seemed to revive, and spoke occa-
sionally. After her death, her body was open
ed and a snake five feet long and half an inch
thick was taken from the stomach. It was
alive when removed but died soon after
The case is a very remarkable one, and it is
to be regretted that it was not subjected to a
scientific examination.

A REVIVAL OF TEMPERANCE. We learI

the citizens of that place held a Temperance
meeting on the 18th inst, to take in consider

in that villago-the number of drunken per
sons, on Christmas day being too numerous tt

several persons, and at the conclusion a pledge
to abstain from the use of liquors as an in

and to reduce licenses to the lowest number
contemplated by law-was offered, and wa.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET-BE1

we trust it is over-was one of the most raj
id and extraordinary panics the commercia
world has ever felt. 1t was expected by ma
