The McMicken Bequest.

The City of Cincinnati, on the 1st Of
November, will have tho control of trust
bequeathsd to them by Mr.. MoMIcKEN, for
educational purposes, which will require i'm
mediate attention. Twenty -one pieces Of prop
erty and twenty-six tenements under rent
will require some vigilance.
The ront receivable in December amounts to
$1,000, but being insufficient to meet present
outlays, the executors profer TO pay the
amount out Of the personal property funds.
The papers communicated by the Trustees,
with the following resolutions, havo been
referred to tho Committee on Law:
Rssolusa, That tho surrender this day made
TO the City Of Cincinnati, by the executors of
Charles McMicken, deceased, of the real
estate situated in this city and county, devised
by said testator to the City of Cincinnati In

Buck, Bpnks and Paran.

AMMO DoMIYI BANKS addresses the editor of
the New York Tines q note--with no date or
place misunderstanding that since late
last spring he, A. D. BANKS, has been "tbe
sole editor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
solely responsible for its political course; and
that during his management Mr.. FARAN has
had no more to do with the conduct of the
Enquirer than Mr.. BUCHANAN himself" Old
Buck, the appointer, the re-appointer, and
disappointer, according to BANKS, has evi-
IDENTIFY made a mistake in the man; he ought
to have let his old friend keep his place. Mr..
BANKS says:
ut will not, presume, be charged that the
removal Of Mr.. Faran was dictated by any
want of attention to his Official duties. By
common consent, no more vigilant, energetic
and faithful Postmaster ever discharged the
functions Of the Office. Always at his post, he
was almost slave to the responsibilities Of
the situation, and that he made model officer,
even his enemies will attest"

Bishop Ames.

We have two items about Bishop AMEs, of
the Methodist Protestant Church, who recently
presided over the Rock River Conference at
Galena, Illinois, where he received rather m
ungracious treatment. His room in the night
time was entered by thieves and his satchel
robbed Of 500. He was caned, in kindness,
by some of the ministers, a few days afteward,
the cane being presentation one, made from
the altar railing of favorite church.

Captain Cook Taken to Virginia.

CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, October q.
Captain Cook was taken to Virginia to-day,
on the requisition of Governor Wise, by officers
from Virginia, accompanied by the parties
that arrested him. Three Sharp's rifles and a
small lot of ammunition were found in the
woods near this place, this morning, by some
boys who were hunting rabbits. One of the
rifles has &c. P. Tidd's" name on the mount
ing, the others are both marked &c. B." They
were no doubt placed under the bushes last
night by tho men left by Captain Cook on the
mountain. The Washington pistol has not yet
been recovered, and nothing has been seen Of
the mon.

THE SUN-FLowRR 4 PR8vRNTIvE TO
continue to see favorable
mention made Of the virtues Of sun
flowers as preventive to fevers, &c. A
correspondents Of the Soil ofMe South,
writing from place in Alabama which
he says was peculiarly subject to fevers,
gives the results of his experience in the
premises. and in not . single instance
where he planted sun-aowers around his
negro cabins did their inmates suffer
from fevers, whilst his wife, two child
rem, and two house-servants all had fe-
vers, he not having planted any Of the
sun-aowers al ound his own dwelling,
which, in his opinion, accounted fol
the difference in the results. We trust
that next Spring, New Orleans may be
surrounded by Gordon Of sun-aowers,
that they may be scattered through ev-
cry garden, and cover every vacant lo'
in the city. Who knows but what their
influence may extend to yellow feve,
also? The same writer adds:
"My opinion is, hat the sun flower
in its rank growth, absorbs the very
elements in the atmosphere that pro-
duce fever, or chilIs, and that what is
the life of the sun-fower is highly oh.
noxious to the health of the human
family ; nor do I believe that man ev.
er could have o chill, who would sleeE
in bed of rank sunAowers. This, too
seems to be no new theory, as Lieut.
Maury states that his gardener, who il
Frenchman, informed him that theil
sanitary influence had been long known
in France"
We submit the foregoing to the Sc
rious attention of persons inhabiting 10.
calities more or less infected with the
disorders mentioned, and hope they viii
not neglect, when Spring comes, te
devote spot of ground near the house
to growing these old-fashioned flowers
which, if they do not prove entirely eff.
ficacious to dispel malaria, will be 6
pleasure to the eye as an ornament
to the house. .

Mr.. Hathaway was the incest young
man she ever saw, and that the woman
that got him for . husband would be
happier than,a queen. She didn't seem
to like it because ! had his picture, and
the next day she got it away from mo,
and she wont give it up"
It was too much even the gravity of
her father was not proof against this
last development he roared with laugh
ter. Araminte was more vexed than
amused.
"Send for Rose" said Mr.. Douglas.
"Let's have it all out while we are
about it,"
The bell was rung, and Rose called.
"Well Rose" said Mr.. Douglas,
with as much gravity as he could COM
mand, est appears that you have been
ste aling. Miss Barlow here charges
you with having taken from her val
liable gold locket set with stones. Are
you aware that the offence is criminal
and would send you to the lock up?"
81 didn't 60 for to steal it, Mr.. Doug
las, said Rose, penitently, "'fore my
heavenly Master, I didn't; but it has o
handsome picter in it that l liked to
look at" looking out from under her
eyebrows at me, "and jest KEEP it o
few days, Miss Barlow, she says she's
goin' to have him for allurs, AMI think
She might let poor Rose have his picter
little WHILE"
Fancy my feelings.
"Weil," said MIR. Douglas, "the
locket does not belong to either of you,
and must be instantly restored to its
proper owner. Rose, produce it at
once" ~ ..,--r.-.. a.
Rose looked sheepish for moment,
and then commenced fumbling among
the folds of her dress, and soon produ-
ced the locket from her bosom, and
stood with it in her hand waiting for
some one to take it. ..-.
"You can lay it on the table," said l..
Mr.. Douglas roared, Araminta
blushed and the two girls looked def
ance at each other from under lowering
brows. My state of mind as modest
man in the midst of such scene is more
easily imagined than described.
As soon as Mr.. Douglas could COM
mand himself sufficiently, he dismissed
the girls, and I retired from the field
on which l had won such questionable
laurels. Itook my dinner at the hotel,
and returned post-haste to town. The
next week I received a letter from Ara.
minta of rather different temper from
her last, which I answered in person.
Mr.. Douglas could not refrain from
sundry sly hints about 'daguerreo-
types" Dangerous fascination" NC. /,

sion made to my last visit.
