of prosecutions against them, have driven a
number of liquor dealers into the Insolvency
Court, where number of them have availed
themselves of the law that no party shall be

part of two story dwelling house on the corner
Of Plymouth and Washington streets, belonging
10 the Providence and Worcester Railroad cor
poration. The engine companies were soon upon

Tbs Boston Post thinks it worth relating
in the newspapers, that, in the absence of the
men, young married lady in Vermont UNI
dertook to expel hog from the garden, and
soon drove him into corner-when piggy
turned upon the pursuer, and making a full
tilt, struck her between her pedal extremites
and would have passed safely through, had
not his nose caught in the folds of her hoped
skirts. AS it was, he took her safely on his
back, and then commenced a series of cir
cults about the garden that rivalled the best
feats of circus ring. At length hoop
gave way, the lady turned a somerset, while
his pigship made rapid tracks in search of the
hole through which he had entered the for
hidden ineIosure.

PAPER MONEY IN CALIPoRNIA.-The issue
of paper intended 10 circulate as money, is
made a-misdemeanor by the laws of the State
of California, and an attempt was lately
made in this city to enforce the law against
the richest man Of San Francisco, Mr. Sam
uel Brannan. He had issued some certif-
Gates of deposit for 50, payable to bearer,
as money. The District Attorney drew up
an indictment against Brannan, but the
Grand Jury ignored it, for reasons not known
to the public.-Saa Francisco paper.

RHODE IsLAND.-The Democracy of Rhode
Island met in convention on Thursday, but did
nothing of consequence except to expose the
weakness of their party. The managers found
that it would be hopeless to attempt to agree on
a platform of principles, and accordingly decided
to appoint committee to whom all resolutions
were referred, and who are to report at an ad
journed meeting. This is acting on the princi
pie of putting afar off the evil day. but that evil
is destined surely to come, in the utter route Of
the Administration Democracy. The opposition
appear to be well united, in spite of the bigotry
of few ultra pro-slavery Americans.

engaged in the trade generally use the French

ocrats hold their convention at New Haven, next

both be presented for its eubernatorial nomina
ton But the chief interest in it centres in what
it proposes to say about the administration and

mouths Of Connecticut Democracy against pro;
test; but there will probably te a little free
speech on these subjects at the convention, and
considerable more at the election in April Where
the talnt of spols has not touched, the Con-
necticut Democracy sympathize rather with
Douglas than Buchanan, and the quarrel of the
ultra Americans with the Republican ticket will
assist in giving development to this feeling.
