A WOMAN in Campaign county, Ohio, has
just recovered verdict of $4,000 against
a man named Lawson, under a very novel
proceeding. The defendant, it seems, sold
the husband of the woman a quantity OF
whisky in violation of the law, that the
husband became drunk and frenzicd BY
drinking it, and while in that state, injured
his wife so as to render her cripple for
life. The jury, after q short consultation,
awarded damages to the wife in the sum
stated above.

:. TIE Buffalo Commercial says that all who
are interested in the contemplation Of the
heavenly bodies, may now have an oppor-
tunity, ON all clear evenings, of gratifying
their taste. The planet Jupiter now shines
with brightness unequnled among the
stars, except by Venus when near her inte-
rior conjunction. The present position of
the planet is in constellation Gemini. or
the twins, not far from the meridian of
Sirius, the brightest of the fixed stars and
closely preceded by the finest constellation
of all the heavens, Orion; so that we have,
and shall have for months to come, in juS-
opposition, the nightly company of this
splendid galaxy-Jupiter, in his highest
glory; Sirius, or the greater Dog; Capella,
Castor and Pollux; Procyon, or the little
Dog; Aldebarau; the Pleaides, and the un-
riyaled constellation of Orion, with the
planet Saturn not far away.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin, independently
In the last appeal of the Republican
leader are all the elements of the highest
order of eloonence-that which convlnces
the Judgment, and animates the will
The first and last attribute of style of this
speech is eminently simple. There Is no
strainiug after effect whatever. Where
there is the fairest opportunity for
flourish of brilliant speech-where power
full figures W ould throug upon the ordinary
orators mind, and the channel of his
speech be choked By piling metaphors,
Mr.. Seward is natural and direct as ever
employing plain phrases, drawn from the
indebted Saxon we'll, and presenting
them in even aud steady array. What a
contrast here to the bombasti the glitter

position, with which most defamation

that hints at the abandonment of his cher

to portray the condition of political fairs
and the relations of our party to them,
may be generally initiated by our Wa speakers
doubt that his Clear exposition Of the real
aims of the Republican party, and of his

will do much to disabuse all honorable
men of erroneous notions which they may
have cherished concerning shat party aud

this speech one Of the most mastery Of

Thus do the Republicans refute the char

the southern press represent this party and
its doctrines as they are, and they would
speedily command majority in many of

early patriots and statesmen must yet bring
forth fruit in Virginia.
