HEAVY FERDIcT.-,Johnson Cole 'set
up with Miss Mary Conrad fora consid-
cradle period; during those long evenings
and summer walks johnson said and
promised many things which he after
wards forgot. Among other things, he
told Mary that she should be Mrs. Cole,
but he failed to redeem his promise. Ma
~ therefore brought suit, in Peoria (lll.)
county, but the case was removed to Stark
county. The case was learnedly and pa
thetically argued and debated. Mary
claimed so, 900 damages, but the jury on
ly gave verdict for $780, and the best
of the case is that Cole is fully able to pay
the judgment. Miss Mary is now going

Post Office Department, in the dead let

adopted, requiring the writer of any let
ter to inscribe on the lower left hand
corner OF the envelope his own name,
and his address, in case the letter is to be
posted elsewhere than at his usual post
office; and the postmaster, when the let
ter remains uncalled for, to be authorized
to return it directly to the writer, in
stead of, as in this country, to the General
Post Office.

!-% The best thing ever said on Doug
las was by Sam Houston. About the
days of the Kansas Nebraska swindle, an
old Tennessee friend of Sans met him
i'll Washington, and in the course of a
conversation on the great men of the
country, the name of Douglas was men-
toned.
"Ah! poor Douglas" said Houston,
she has been sot back"
His friends not understanding the re-
mark, the Texan Senator proceeded to
illustrate it by an anecdote of the family
OF an old acquaintance of theirs.
"The old gentleman made it rule that
his children should dine at side table
until they We're sixteen years old, at
which age they were permitted to eat
with the older members of the family
On one occasion a visitor, who was aware
OF the custom, observed one of the BOYS,
who he thought was of the requisite age,
eating at the side table, and asked him if
he was not sixteen years old. Yes said
the boy, i was sixteen some time ago,
and the old man let me come to his table:
but there was a dish for dinner that was
very fond of, and instead of waiting to be
helped, | undertook to help myself, and
reached too far, and met with an accident
and he sot me back two years."
Probably Mr.. Douglas supposos that his
probation is over, but it would not be
surprising if he meets with another acct
dent before the meeting of the Charles
ton Convention.-Jfobie Mercmy.

SLAVERY WANING IN MIssouRI-The St.
Louis Democrat says that upwards of
four hundred slaves leave that State every
week, nearly all of whom go to the South,
and argues that this draining must soon
rid the State of slavery. This activity in
the slave market is occasioned in great
part by the present high prices obtained,
though there are doubtless other causes
that have their influence. The gross re-
ceipts of money in Missouri from this
source, this year, it is thought will amount
to millions of dollars. The money mar
ket has already received sensible relief
i'll consequence.
So long as the demand for slave labor
in the more Southern States can be sup
piled from home, there will be not an
object in obtaining negroes from abroad.

The screw steamer Fox, Captain Nc
Clntock, sent by Lady franklin to the
Arctic regions in search of tho traces of
Sir John Franklins expedition, had re,
turned to England, having been COM
plctcly successful. AT Point William, on

in all amounting to los. were proceed
ing to Great Fish river. Sir John Frank
lin had died June ii, 1847, and the total
deaths to date had been nine officers and

who stated that after their abandonment
one ship was crushed in the ice and sunk,
and the other forced on shore, where she
remained.
The fox was unable to penetrate be-
yond Bcllot Straits and wintercd in Brent

Minute and interesting details of the
expedition are published.
Several skeletons of Franklin's men,
large quantities of clothing &C., and u
duplicate record, up to the abandonment
OF the ships, were discovered.
