V A Scotch newspaper relates the
following curious case of the recovery
of lost marriage ring:
"About the end of July or the begin
ming of August last, woman named
Catharine Ferguson, the wife of miner
named Mclean, at Clifton, near the
head of fLoch Lomond, lost her marriage
ring whilst engaged in putting in or
building peats, and not understanding that
every search was made for it at the
time, it could not be found. About a
fortnight ago the cat brought a rat into
the house, and around the neck of the
rat was the missing marriage ring. II
is supposed, as rats are known to carry
off coins or pieces of silver or gold, that
the ring had been taken to the rats
nest, where it had gone over the neck
of one of the young ones, and remained
there until the animal had advanced in
growth, and curiously enough, been cap
tured by the cat. Mrs. Mclean, who
had been about year married, was no
less rejoiced in getting possession again
other lost ring than surprised at the very
singular way in which it was recovered.

effcacious policy Of abandoning the ruliag
propensity to domineer and adopting instead a
peaceful arrangement of the conditions OF an
exchange Of commodities. Some time may yet
elapse before this school Of statesmen attains
complete power in England but the fact that
PaImerston was forced to admit them into his
present coalition Cabinet, and that they to-day
sustain their views there. is palpabe evidence
OF their growing intelligence. The Same fact
was exhibited In the late Cabinet Of Lord Der
by, which could not obtain power until the
Manchester men supported it, and lost their
hold as soon as the Manchester men were driven
from their side. Under these circumstances, Il
will be as difficult for Palmerston to rouse an
inimical feeling towards the United States on
account of San Juan Island; as It would be for
Mr.. Buchanan to obtain action from Congress
during the coming still water time in the action
Of the administration.

struck town that II shall give up to the rascals
''the squirting Sheriff" The federal govern
ment has no troops within FIVE hundred or a
thousand miles to send to the scene Of disor-
der, and the State authorities, which should
callout its own military TO abate the nuisance,
neglect to do their duty, because, perhaps, they
fear the expense. II is little singular, that
with live general like Sam Houston as Gov
ernor elect, Texas cannot take care Of Its own
rebels, but must call on New Orleans for aid
and accept the ilibuster Walker as volunteer
pcacemalser.
With the affairs Of Mexico the Brownsville
trouble has no connection whatever. It Is said
that some sixty villains have been forcibly re-
leased from the jail of Victoria, the capital Of
the State Of Tamaulipas, and that they have
fed to Cortinas' camp. The condition Of the
neighboring republic is one that renders 1t q
prey TO all classes Of evil doors, and We shall
not be at all surprised If Cortinas, when he lees
from Brownsville, should carry the terror OF
the American name into the border States Of
Mexico. Exhausted by long contention, the
condition of the people everywhere in that re-
public is 80 abject that they have been forced
to enter upon career Of robbery and plumber to
sustain life. The highways everywhere swarm
with robbers, and farms, villages, towns, and
even cities, are subject continually to contribu-
tons by bands of men that are thieves or SOL
diers according us the humor Of their leader
lists.
The great parties that are struggling for rule
are oppressed with nearly equal scantiness of
resources, and the only hopes of the man Of
property and order lie in the conclusion of the
present treaty negotiations with our govern.
ment. 1t is supposed that the straits of Mexico
will force her to accede even to tho minor
points to which our government has adhered,
even after hegreat principles involved had been
conceded by Mexico. If the treaty fails,
problem will be presented to the next admins
tration that may be more difficult to solve than
the present one is We may drive Cortinas and
his band into Mexico, as we have driven and
are driving the Camanches and Apaches before
Us, but what power shall restrain them from
forays Into our frontiers as we'll az those OF
Mexico, it Is difficult to foresee. A mutual
right of the passage and operation Of troops
may meet the difficulty.

fused to give up the books. He subsequently asked
leave to amend his answer and say eyes, with certain
explanations. The House thought had been triod with
sufficiently and sent him back to JAIL where he will pro-
badly remain the twenty-five days unless he previously
delivers tho books to the Sergeant alarms.
