TAKEN AT HIS WoRD.-Mr. c., who lives
with his household goods-including his wife and
several children-upon Lake ST., went to his house
yesterday morning, taking girl with him, who, he
told his wife, was to be his housekeeper. His wife
naturally demonstrated st thus being suppanted in
her house, but was told by the amiable Mr. C.
shut up or leave" He then went out with the
girl, telling his wife to behave herself when they
came back, or to "leave thehouse" On returning
to the domicil, he found that the obedient Mrs. G.
had followed his instructions and left; but the fun
of the thing is that she had taken every article of
furniture and left the house "empty, swept and
garnished." Up to lastnight the deserted husband
had heard nothing of his departed spouse He don't
like the arrangement.

MELoDEoN-To-night Alf Burnett gives another
of his eocutionary and comic entertainments which
are so well worth hearing at the Melodeon. His
compass and range of voice is extraordinary and his
skill in rehearsng selections from various authors,
giving the infections and moduations as the sense
demands, is wonderful. While in his comic cha
raeters he would force hearty laugh from the
most grabbed misanthrope, in some wonderful aud
pathetic strain, he would almost draw tears from
Judge Jeffries himself. Among his recitations to-
night are some from Hamlet, given in appropriate
costume. In this character he is said to be unsur-
passed. Let the Melodeon be crowded tonight

The PORT SARNIA HOMIcIDE.-From the De-
trot Advertiser we learn that an inquest has been
held upon the body of Capt. Jones, and verdict
rendered that he came to his death by themeans of
pistol in the hands of William Tyler. The funeral
services were to take place Wednesday at 10
o'clock, at Detroit Marshal Tyleris in Jail await
ing the legal examination, which will take place
before the U. S. Commissioner, on the 10th of this
month. Much excitement prevails at Port Sarnia,
and much feeling against the Marshal is felt Had
he been left at that place, or at Port Huron, he
might have been lynched by the populace. The
sworn statements OF the second mate of the Con.
cord, of a man who was on shore near the brig,
and of the man who took Capt Jones from China
to Port Huron, that he might get to his vessel,
show that the Marshal fired the fatal shot without
cause or provocation. He will be kept in custody
until he can be claimed by the Canadian Govern
ment. The testimony shows that Capt. Jones took
the axe to cut the rope of the tug and offered no
violence to the Marshal who fired as soon as he
stepped upon the railing. The history of the af.
fair shows if the testimony is reliable, that the
Marshal committed most fragrant and unwarrant-
able attack. His trial will excite much attention.

\ few days since gentleman residing in
Rising sun, Ind, who had married Il second
time, wi>l Ell to remove the body of his wife
to new cemetery. Preparations were made
to that effect, and laborers opened the grave
in the usual manner but when they reached
the coffin they could not lift it, so great was
the weight After obtaining considerable:
assistance, however, the men succeeded in
raising the coffin from the tomb. They then
had such curiosity that they could not resist
the temptation of peeping into the coffin and
learning the reason of its unusual weight
They did so, aud found much to their sur
prise, instead of the remains of corpse, a
stone figure, the exact counterpart of the wO-
man who had died This strange story soon
spread, and hundreds land thousands of per-
sons were present to see the strange specta-
Gle.
The husband took the body Of his depart
ed spouse home and has it there now, where
Il is visited by hundreds of the curious and
scientific The body seems to have been
petritied, and to have become a perfect stone
womaa. The probability is that the body has
become adipocere, and will before long melt
or crumble.
| How the living wife likes the deceased, OF
how she reiishes the idea of seeing No. in
stalled, though statue, in her place, and her
self neglected, is more than we can say. The
affair, at best is peculiar and novel one
and we marvel that the sapient lndianians dc
not arrest the twice married individual fol
"bigamy."

COurting the Widow and Marrying the
Daughter.

A romantic affair came off in Philadelphia
last week, the particulars of which are thus
related
Mrs. W q handsome and rich widow,
and the mother of Il pretty daughter of fifteen
summers, by some means became acquainted
with ,-ouug carpenter, who, although Il fine
looking man, was in rather poor circumstances.
The carpenter visited the lady's residence
very frequently, gailanted her to church, the
theatres, &c, scarcely ever paying any mark
cd attention to the daughter, who sometimes
accompanied them. Madame Rumor, with
her thousand tongues, soon noised it about
,ilat the carpenter and the widow were about
to be n.aJe one, and MS friends congratulated
him on the prospect he had of so shortly be-
ING able to 'nang up his hat" The widow,
too, was complimented by her acquaintance,
and in fact snc began to think that the thing
would take place, although the carpenter had
moi, as yet popped the question" With
The craft natatt.iy possessed by "wlddcrs,
she threw out Il hint to her gallant at his
next Interview anu rom this hint he took it
for granted that she was anything else than
averse to a matrimonial union with him. lie
thought it was time TO act, and undecved the
lady, which he certainly did and astonishcd
her too, for next morning he eloped with the
daughter ! This set all the gossips in the
neighborhood going and they one and all pro-
nounccd il ''scandalous." The girls mother,
however, being L woman of sense, takes it
pnilosophically, and has forgiven the young
people, who are HOW GoInici.ed at the famil,
residence. She gives her daughter credit for
the shrewdneSs the latter exhibited in heI
courtlng and also the carpenter for his discrc-
ton in picking of the two, the youngest and

Dance Light, for My Heart il Lies under
Your Feet, Love.

All, sweet Kitty Neil rise up from Your wheel
Your neat little foot will be weary from spinning
Come, trip down with me to the Sycamore tree
Hall the parish is there and the dance Is beginning
The sun is gone down, but the full harvest moon
Shines sweetly and cool on the dew -whiteneC
valley;
While all the air rings with the soft, loving things
Each little bird sings in the green shaded alley.
With blush and smile, Kitty rose up the while
Her eyes in the glass; as she bound her hair
gi.ncing;
'Tis hard to refuse when young lover sues
So she couldn't but choose TOGO off the dancing.
And now on the green. the glad groups are seen
Each CAV hearted lad with Il lass of his choosing;
And Pat without fail, leads out sweet Kitty Neil
Somehow, when he asked, she ne'er thought OF
refusing
Now Felix Magee puts his pipes to his knee,
And. with flourish SO free, sets each couple in
motion;
With Il cneer and bound, the lads patter the
ground
The maids move around just like swans on the
Cheeks bright the rose-.eet light as the does,
Now coyiy retiring, now boldly advancing
Search the world all round, from the sky to the
ground,
No such sight can be found as an Irish lass dane
ing.
Sweet Kate who could view your bright eyes of
deep blue,
Bearin- humidity through the dark lashes so
mildly,
Your iairturned arm, heaving breast, rounded
30; NJ,
Nor feel his heart warm and his pulses throb
wid,
Poor Pat feels his heart, as he gazes, depart,
Subdued by the smart of such painful yet sweet
love;
The sight leaves his eve, as he cries with sigh,
Dance light for my heart it lies under your feet
love!"

A Fearful Prcdicament.

One day recently, while four little boys
were diverting themselves by leaping in ard
out of an old corn crib that stood in the sta
BILE of a farm in the Carsc of GOwrie, Scot
land, the whole Of them got into ii at one time
and drew down the lii, which, being furnish
ed in the common way for paddock, the
holder caught the staple, and made them pri,-
oners at once beyond the possibility Of extri-
eating ti.3:n elves. Fortunately, however, the
horses had to be suppered; but the plough
man whose duty it was to do so had perfor-
med his task, and was leaving for the night,
when he thought he heard some movement in
the chest. Aware there was no corn in it he
was convinced he was deceived but curiosi-
" prompting him, he lifted the lid. He found
the now missed and anxiously sought for pris-
oners still alive, but quite unconscious or un-
able to make the least effort for their deliver
ance Had movement ON the part OF one
of them not drawn the attention Of the plough
man at the last moment, the whole four would
doubtless have been dead before morning.

also conveyance of the first two hundred
and forty sections Of land which it is or may
be authorized to sell in trust for the better Sc
curity OF the State. These two separate secu-
rites are rendered entirely unnecessary if the
first mortgage bonds mentioned are to he Sc
cured by an instrument giving them prior
lien on everything belonging to the company.
This would be to require different securities
Of the same nature upon the same property,
1t is not necessary to involve the trainers of
this amendment in such an absurdity. Full
force and effect can be given to each Of these
Instruments, without doing violence 10 the
language of the constitution, or the intention
Of the law makers. They evidently Intended
to provide the State with an exclusive lien on
the nett profits of the road and the control of
the first two hundred and forty sections Of
land, and to place her on an equal footing on
ly, with other creditors, as to the bonds re-
ceived from the companies.
Whether the amount or character of the Sc
curities thus provided is sufficient to secure
the State from loss, is of no importance in the
consideration of this question, except so far as
lt may show the reasonableness of the con-
Struction about to be given. With this view.
1t is not improper to notice that the State has
all the security that is offered to capitalists to

has in addition thereto, pledge of the nett
profits, and conveyance in trust of lands,
worth, even at the Government price, nearly
four hundred thousand dollars-nearIy one.
| third of the amount of State bonds which the
company can by any possibility obtain. If,
therefore, it may reasonably be expected that
capitalists Will advance money on the securi-
ties offered, to build these roads, it is not un-
reasonable to suppose that those who framed
as well as those who approved of this amend
ment to the Constitution were satisfied with
the class of securities which the State was to
receive for the simple loan of its credit.
We think that the company has done all that
is necessary under the Constitution to entitle
it to the amount of State bonds demanded;
and it is well settled that this writ lies in all
cases where the relator has a clear legal right
to the performance of some official act by
public officer, and no other adequate and spe-
ciic remedy, we award a peremptory manda-
mus, and direct that it be served by the Clerk
of this Court or any other disinterested person,
by reading and delivering certified copy
thereof if demanded.

How to Spoil a Daughter.

BE always telling her how very pretty she
is.
Instill into her young maiden heart undue
love for dress.
Allow her to read nothing but works offic-
ton.
Teach her all the accomplishments, but
none of the utilities of life.
Keep her in the darkest ignorance of the
mysteries of housekeeping
Initiate her into the principle that it is vul-
gar to do an, thing for herself
To strengthen the latter, let her have a la
day maid.
Teach her to think that she is better than
anybody else.
Make her think that she is sick when she
is not, ard let her lie in bed taking medi-
cines when half an hours out doot exer-
else would completely cure her of her lazi
ness.
And, lastly, having given her such an ed
ucation marry her to moustached gentleman
who is clerk with salary of$ $3.50.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.

I've wandered in the village, Tom-Tve sat be-
meath the tree
Upon the school house playing ground, which
sheltered you and me,
But none there to greet me, Tom, and few
were left to know,
That played with us upon the green, some twenty
years ago.
The grass is just as green, Tom,-baretooted boys
Were sporting just as we did them with spirits just
as gay;
But the master sleeps upon the hill, which, coated
DER with snow,
Afforded Us sliding place, just twenty years ago
The old schoohouse is altered now the benches
replaced
BY new ones very like the same our penknives had
defaced
But the same old bricks are in the WALL the bell
swings to and fro,
rs inst the same dear Tom as twenty years
ago.
The spring that bubbed meath ;he hil close by the
spreading beech
Is very low-'twas so high trat we could al
most reach:
And kneeling down to get drink, dear Tom,
To see how much that had changed since twenty
years ago.
Near by the spring, upon the elm, you know l cut
Your name,-
Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom-and you
did mine the same
Some heartless wretch hath peeled the bark-'twas
dying sure, but slow,
Just as the one whose name we cut, died twenty
years ago.
Ny eyelids had been dry Tom, but tears come in
my ewes,
thought of her loved so well-those early broken
ties
visited the old church, yard, and took some flow
ers to strcw
Upon the graves of those we loved some twenty
years ago
And some are IN the church yard laid-some sleep
beneath the sea,
But few left of our old class oxcont;no Won
and me;
And when our time shall come Tom. and we are
called to go, ~
hope they II lay us where we played just twenty
years ago.
