s| A juror from the country who had
been detained in attendance upon court in
st. Louis till he had become homesick, ap-
piled to physician Of easy principles to
get himself released from further duty. The
Doctor received fee for his professional
advice, &c, and on Monday appeared before
Judge Treat while court was in session, and
certified, under oath, that the juror was ex-
ceedingly i'll with bilious fever; that he
could not himself attend to make his excuse,
and that he was so sick as not to be able to
leave his room for three weeks. While this
statement was being made, the sick man,
wholly unconscious of what was going on,
stepped into the room to get his bill for at
tendance acknowledged, and thus the Doc
tor was caught in a palpable and atrocious
lie. The Judge on the bench administered
a gentle reproof to the juror, but said the
court would have to TAKE further notice of
the conduct Of the doctor.

The last Legislature enacted a law taxing

The assessors, so far as they have report

liberality towards the roads, and to have
fulfilled the spirit of the law. The valua-
ton Of the Cincinnati and Chicago railroad
has been fixed a: 80, 500 per mile. The val
uation Of the Peru and indianapolis Railroad
has been fixed at $4,000 per mile. The
New Albany and Salem Road has been as

ing for the verdict Of acquital in the case OF
the Echo crew, tried in that city for being
concerned in the slave trade, says:
The jury were influenced by the consid-
Grafton that the prisoners Knowing the ig-
norance and want of foresight of these men
as class in society-knowing also the
mode in which crews are collected very
generally in the Atlantic ports, viz: They
are gathered MP by ship broker. and most
frequently sign their names, IL they are
learned or sober enough TO sign, or make
their marks, as in this case they did, without
knowing or caring what voyage they were
going upon, or even to what port they were
bound. And especially in a business like
this, would the captain or agent care little
to inform the sailors Of the nature Of an ad-
venture in the slave trade; because the
large profits of such business TO the owners,
and the great peril to the persons aud lives
of the crew, would induce them TO demand
extrsvagant wages.
This is a plausible apology for the verdict,
but no justification.

A WELL OF ICED WATER A person dig.
ging a we'll 10 Brandon, Vermont, pene-
trated strata that prove to be natural refrip-
orators and lee generators. A gentleman OF
science has recently visited the we'll and
gives the following account Of il ia the Bos-
ton Transcript:
The latter part OF November, Mr.. An-
drew Twombly, OF Brandon, W., COM
menced to dig we'll near his house, situat-
ed about mile from the centre of the vii
lage Of Brandon, on a tolerably level plain.
Having exeavsted 10 the debth OF fifteen
feet through sand and gravel, the workmen
came TO ground frozen solid, through which
they continued to exeavate the further dis
lance of fifteen or sixteen feet before getting
through the frozen ground =
At the depth Of forty feet, sufficient wa
ter having been obtained, the well was
stoned in the usual manner. The character
Of the ground was the same throughout the
whole distance viz, coarse gravel and sand,
the frozen portion interspersed with Jumps
of clear ice. AT the time the well was dug.
the surface OF the ground was not frozeu.-
Ever since the well was dug, up TO the
present time, ice forms in the well and in
crusts the stone at from fifteen to thirty feet
from the surface, and the surface of the wa
ter, which is thirty-fve feet below the sur
| face Of the ground, freezes over every night.
On several occasions, when the bucket has
been left in the we'll under the water over
night, il has been found necessary to de-
scend the well, and with a Ratchet, Gu,
the ice in order to extricate 1t.
A curiosity is felt to know what effect dog
days will have upon this iced spring.

D6s- A society has been formed in LoL..
don, of medical gentlemen, for the purpose
of detecting quacks and quackery. They
have recently caused the arrest of two fell
lows who had been advertising and selling
large quantities of a nostrum for the cure
of deafness. II was described as an infalli-
BILE remedy, prepared by DR.. Waters. The
compounders and vendors were found to be
two fellows named Bennett, who had been
well known not long previously as gambling
shsrpers. 1t was proven on investigation
that they had realized over $40, 900 per an
mum in their trade, after paying expenses
An analysis of the pretended specific proved
1t to be nothing but urine with a small por-
ton Of alum in it. Some persons had paid
from 500 to $500 for this vile and offensive
stuff. Such detective association is much
needed In this country for the exposure OF
the gross impositions praeticed in the sale oil
quack and patent medicines The regular
medical faculty could render the country an
immense service in that way, while defend.
ing their own rights and interests.

TIE CouscrL.-We are told that some Of
the members of the City Council got excited
on Saturday evening, over Communication
of ours to that Honorable Body. 1t was a
respectful statement Of facts, which its hg-
urss demonstrated. If those who exhibited
a little temper on the occasion cannot bear
an exposition, in their own chamber, OF their
mistakes or blunders, by private petition,
we shall, If they prefer II, convey our CON-
plants to them through the public ear,
though il be an improper channel to make
known our private grievances. They may
sound less barshly and be made moro audi
BILE through such channel.
The privilege Of being heard before q pub
lie body in a matter affecting his own inter-
est and the public service, is the right of
every citizen, and to be exercised without
incurring personal abuse. A bid for pub
lie work is document belonging to the
public records of the city, to which every
citizen has the right of free access. To CEN
sure the City Clerk for allowing such to be
seen, is q new doctrine In this city, and car
ries bad odor for a reform council. The
printing committees organ is paying its
new found patrons for the wretched pap on
which they will stsrve it. with the e1trava-
CANT zeal of new born convert If we
thought the matter of moment enough to
the public, we would give It and the memo
rial as originally written, showing the full
beauties of the operation. But the sport
won't pay for the candles. We will reserve
our attention for weirhtier matters.

The sutire length Of the He is los miles,
Is miles Of which ATE Ia Marlborough coun-
", 70 miles in Gibson, 90 miles in Knox, IS
in Sullivan, and is in vigo. II will be
seen by this statement that the valuation OF
our road is higher per mile than that Of
either of the roads above named. The as
sessment was made at conference Of the
appraisers of the several counties through
which the road runs, which was held at
yincennes on the 18th of April. g.gf
The distributing of the value Of the M
chinery, the depots and work shops, over
the whole road, upjustly deprives those
counties in which such property is situated,
of part of their taxables. For instance,
depots and workshops in yanderburgh are,
under the law, taxed in Gibson, Knox, Sui
livan, and Vigo.
