BORDER RUFFIAN OUTRAGE ExPLoDHD-Some
| weeks since, pathetic account of an attack upon
W. W. Bloss, an assistant editor of the Leayen,
| worth, Kansas, Times, went the rounds Of the
| Republican press, which they Indignantly de.
| nounced as q prossfavery outrage upon o man on
account OF his anti slavery views, &c. The story
was dished up in the usual style of Kansas border
rufian outrages. The facts of the case have
since come to light, by which 1t appears that
Bloss had grossly insulted the wife Of Mr.
| White, who had kindly taken him into bis iam-
lily and nursed him while sick, and failing to make
a proper amend for his conduct, receiveda severe
punishment from his aggrieved benefactor. In
this case, like many others, the real ofeneer was
made martyr, and the facts were misrepresented
and used for political effect.
| INTERESTING PosroFFIcE TRIAL.-A suit for Sian.
der was tried at the late session of the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel county. at Annapolis,
| last week. The plaintiff, George d. Latchford
postmaster at Annapolis junction, sued Miss
| Emma Dorsey for sander, laying damages at
1,500, but the jury, after trial, only awarded
$3.50: 1t appears that Miss D. repeatedly charged
| Mr.. L. with retaining her letters and other mail
matter and refusing to deliver them to her. 1t
| was stated that she had circulated and reitera-
ted this charge, and refused to retract it, hence
the suit. 1t is said Miss d. intends to carry the
case to the Court of Appeals s-Pdtapsco Eater

| PRogABILIrY OF MAARYINa.-A table inserted in

bits results Of rather startling character. In the
irst-two Qunquennial periods, 20.25 and $3.50,

age of 80 the probability ofa bachelor marrying in
