A CURIOUS SrIT.-The Bangor Wing says
that queer case of malpractice was tried at
East COrinth, Me-, few days since, before II

ford, TO recover damages - for that the said
PhiPps, for the consideration of fifty cents,
agreed to extract for her, the said Eliza, II GER

but the said Phipps by his negligence or ig-
nOrance, did not remove said unsOund tooth in
pursuance of his contract, but instead thereof

Of the value of 900 The defence was that the
lady tainted during the operation, and the in
struncnt slipped on tho wrong grinder" NJ.
B. Bragg testified that DR.. OSgOod, of Bangor,
pulled by mistake a sound tooth for him; and
Drs. Thompson, Fuller, and Waterhouse said
that, with nervous patients, such mistakes
were liable to happen. The lady did not dis
cover the loss for some days, when the " old
ache" came back. The magistrate gave q
judgment for the defendant.

DIR. Gardeners Claim, and its History.

A recent financial transaction recalls the
trsgical affair of DIR. Gardiner, who procured
from the United States Treasury Sl3i 900, on
what was claimed To be forged evidence of
losses sustained in Mexico. The award was
made under the treaty of Guadalupe IIidalco.
after most mature and labOrious inyestigs-
tlon, and upon mass of written evidence
greater than is often brought to sustain any
demand, whether honest or fraudulent. The
money was paid to DR. Gardiner and his as
slgnees in the spring of 1851. About $3.50 600
ot the amount was deposited in the banks in
New York and Washington, and with only
SlO,OOO the successful claimant proceeded to
Europe. The alleged forgcries were detected
within few weeks, and the money attached
In the hands of the depositaries. DR. Gardiner
immediately returned from Europe, boldly pro-
claimed his innocence, and demanded a trial
lie was tried, and the jury in his case failed to
agree. Previous to the new trial, commission
was sent to Mexico to make personal investiga-
tion of the facts alleged by DR.. G.. in support of
his claim. Gardiner accompanied the commits
sion, and, as he said, showed them where the
remains and the proofs of his past mining ope.
rations, which were the basis of his claims,
might be found Tho commission returned,
and reported against him on every point; but,
what is most astonishing, he voluntarily re.
turned with them, to meet the perils of his no.
sitlon and the vengeance OF the law. He was
convicted May 3Oth, 1854, sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment, and Immediately died by
his own hand. The case will long stand at the
head Of the c0nSeS ccicbrcs in the criminal an
mails of this country.
Of the money obtained by this fraud upon
the Treasury, Sl3O,O0O was deposited in the
Mechanics Banking Association of New York
That sum was claimed by the United States,
and by John Charles Gardiner as administra
tor upon his brother's estate. II is said that n
compromise has been made by which the
United States has obtained the principal and
the Administrator the accumulated interest
upon the fund, at five per cent, equal to
$4,000 There are many who yet doubt
whether Dr. Gardiner was not an innocent and
prosecuted man, and confess that the proofs
OF guilt adduced against him were not strong
enough to satisfy my mind. But those doubts
belong to the past. The paying Of this money

GINSENG.-A correspondent of the Boston
Courier states that about sixty years ago
General Zebina Curtis, of Windsor. Vermont,
discovered that ginseng, which the Chinese
prize so highly, grew in the woods of Vermont,
and acquiring the art of preparing it for mar
kct after the Chinese fashion, he collected it in
Vermont, northern New York and Canada,
gradually increasing his business till he sent
forty thousand dollars worth from Boston in a
single year. To keep up the price. his agents
in China never exposed but small quantity
for sale at time. His profits were large. One
of the workmen, for n valuable consideration,
disclosed his secret of "crystalizing" Others
went into the business. Large quantities were
gathered and exported. The market was glut-
ted. and the price fell rapidly, so low that the
business ceased to be profitable

which may trouble his digestion of the lies with
which he has been fed SO long, and make them

the interview stormy .h.t il was put end
to rather abruptly, and the unrelenting nature of
the feeling by which Garibsldi is artuated may

POoR PUSSY.

One of the queerest things We have
met with lately, in the foreign Jour-
nails, is the joint suicide of two old
maids and cat! The women were
very decent, industrious creatures, and
very fond Of the cat, which was, It
seems, their mutual property. Some
relative died, and left them about Eve
thousand dollars. This intoxicated
them with visions IF greatness. They
dropped all toll, removed to. London
with their cat, and commenced q grand
round Of pleasure, amid which pxss
was, always their companion. Balls,
theatres, the opera, rides, drives, ele-
giant dresses, expensive habits, &C.,
soon used up their legacy. This ac-
complished, they sought work !; but it
was not to be obtained. They had to
pledge and sell, ad li6itum, their
clothing and other effects for food
When all these sources were exhaust
ed, they went down to the Surrey
Cana, put the cat in basket, en-
twined each other around the waist,
put the puss basket on arm, leaped
into the flowing water, and drowned
as they had lived, altogether! Thus
ends the history of the old maids and
their cat. s-'''f
