Scandalous Waste of the Public Money

of the cost of the Patent Office fancy

A Rich and Desperately Armed Beggar.

A German, aged about 80, and named
Benedict Shelley, came to Washington
City on Christmas Day, and took lodgings
in the Central Guard house. He was
loaded down with beggar's traps, and
looked as poor as poor could be. Next
day, in the First Ward, he got into diff
fculty with some boys, who, amused at
his odd appearance, began to tease him.
The old fellow drew pistol and threat

The Law of Endorsement

A new and important legal principle
on the commercial usage of endorsing
bills, for corporation account, by the
Cashier or Secretary, was pronounced in
the Supreme Court of New York, few
days since. The ruling of the Court,
James, Justice, is that an action against
a bank on protested bill cannot hold on
the simple endorsement of A. H., Cash
ier. without the avowed purpose of nego-
tiating the bill or specification of the
name and authority of the bank suppos-
ed to be represented shall accompany
such endorsement The case N ade is q
peculiar one in this, that the bill was ne.
gotiated or sold by the Ohio Trust Com.
pany in New York, while the purpose for
which it was RENTED by A. b., Cashier
Of the Salem (Ohio) Bank, was simply
for collection.

S. d. SIBBET, Esq, elocutiopist, has
completed his course Of instruction in ell.
ocution to large class of our young
folks: and we arc pleased to learn that
all who attended the whole course are
highly gratifed with their progress.
His plan of instruction is simple and
comprehensive, and calculated to impart
clearly and system aticaIly the fundamen-
tai principles of that important but much
neglected science. Mr.. S., previous to
taking the class, favored US with few
Shakespeare readings, which gave very
general satisfaction to his audiences, and
indicated a pretty thorough knowledge
of his profession. His readings were iD-
deed excellent, and prove clearly the
great necessity of more thorough gen.
eral instruction in this important branch
Of education.
The province of elocution is to teach
how to deliver a written or extemporane.
Gus competition with force, propriety and
ease. How often have We all been pain
ed to hear even our professional men
read, or attempt to read, compositions of
high order, but would do it, in such a
bungling aud improper manner that
their beauty would be nearly if not en-
tirely lost.
If VIC cannot intibe or comprehend
fully the spirit of production, it is an
utter impOssibility to properly read it;
aud if it is cot properly rendered its
beauty is lost. How to DO this elocutiou

On Sunday morning last, man call
ing himself Elmer, stopped at the Hotel
Of Maj. Ribbe, in this place. and hired
of hinl gray mare and wagon, to so
some ten Or twelve miles over into Penn

not yet returned with the mare aud wag,
on. and it is not at all likely that be will
of his own accord. He is man of Bbout
65 years of age,-his head as white as

ferred that he is an old sinner We have
reason to believe that be is the same m an

for horse stealing, or some other crime,

Correspondence of the New York Tribune
CONNECTICUT VALLEY, Dec. "a. Is5

Correspondence of the New York Tribune.l
CONNECTICUT VALLEY, Dec. %. 1858.
The readers of the Tribune are not gen.
orally aware Of the extent to which tobac.
co is raised in this Land of Steady Ha-
bits" Oar neighbors of the South wilF
not BE prepared to believe the facts that
are frequently stated by the farmers, when
they meet in public places. Indeed, the
interest OF that crop is, at this time-tbe
season of stripping. selling and packing
paramount to all others. Perhaps there
is no place in New England so adapted
to the growth of the weed as this beau
tiful valley, between Hartford and SPRING
field. In good soil, the crop will ayefsge
from 500 to 2,000 pounds. haze seen
one field of nine acres the past season.
the yield of which was moro than 900
pounds per acre. Many of the farmers
say that they would not attempt to raise
grain, were it not for the fact that they
can employ their hands upon that, when
the tobacco needs no care.
Speculation is the order Of the day
The great prevailing idea is, "make or
break" The high price paid within the
past ten days looks towards bankruptcy.
Rumor says that some lots have been sold
from 20 to 30 Cents per pound.
