TETUAN, February 22.-The territory acquired
bv the Spanish arms the perpetual cessiOn Of
which is demanded by the government of Spain
from that of Morocco as of the conditions of
the peace desired, is to be defined by line drawn
from point two kilometres west Of Tetuan, north
wards to the redoubt of Isabella ii. and the Straits
of Gibraltar. The southern limit is to be the
range of mountains bounding the valley of Tetuan,
and which is the commencement of the extensive
mountainous district commonly known as the Riff
The sea forms the northern and eastern boundaries
The district thus marked out is a long quadrangle
from thirty to thirty live miles in length and from
four to seven accordiug to the ndentations of the
shore) in breadth. Besides considerable portion
of mountan by far the greater part of it is at pre-
sent morass and Jungle; but by clearing and drain
ing the whole of the plain, or nearly so, might be
converted into extremely fertile land, capable of
producing rich crops of various kinds. 1t is not,
however, these few square miles of productive soil
that can be coveted by country which, like Spain,
has such vast untitled tracts within its own limits;
and, even supposing the whole of the new African
province reclaimed and cultivated, it would not pay
the cost of its retention. The neighborhood is
bad one, and strong guard would be required by
the possession. The idea is to form Ceuta, Te-
tuan, Melilla, and the Chafarinas Islands into
captaingeneralcy, and this might be gratifying to
Spanish vanity, although it would assuredly be
burdensome to Spanish revenue. 1t is also said
that Tetuan, like Ceuta, would be declared free
port.

In one of the market houses of Philadelphia
is genius of a butcher. Beneath his sleeves
and apron he wears the costliest broad cloth,
none of the inferior grades, but the finest pro-
duction of French looms. His linen is as
faultless as his exterior garments, while the
glistening surface of his marble counters is no
less striking than the glossness of his hat and
boots. In the centre of his shirt bosom spar
kles q single diamond stone of six Carats
weight, and of the first water. Upon the little
finger of his left hand glitters circlet of dia-
monds, six in mber, whose aggregate value
is considerably more than that Of the garniture
of his shirt bosom. His complexion is a clear
red and white-just that style OF complexion
which Partisan ladies produce by dainty COM
mixture of carmine and bismuth. He is man
of fine physique, and has an ayoirdupois of "a
bout 200 pounds. His address is polished and
his manners courtly and suave. He commen-
ced life without dollar, and is now taxed for
some $50, 900 in real estate, yet is as polite
and deferential to his customers as on the day
he first embarked in the business of convert
ing quarters of beef into chops and sirIoins.
A benevolent lady of large fortune first noti-
ced him, and placed at his disposal fund up
on which he raised the superstructure Of his
present fortune. He is now rapidly advancing
in wealth, and will probably retire upon the
eighth of a million. And all through the in
fuence of that specific against adyerSity-po-
likeness.

The ladies in Livermore Valley, Alameda

about ten O'Clock. after the store was closed,
native Californian came TO the door, and de-
sired admittance 10 obtain a bottle of liquor
Mrs. G. informed him that she could not open
the store again that night-he was well known
as most desperate character-but he insisted
upon entering, and commenced breaking the
windows. Mrs. Carthwaite bade him go away.
He finally broke the door open and rushed
upon her with drawn knife. She fired two
shots with arevolyer to frigh.en him, and
finding that there was no other alternative,
fired again and shot him through the head.
An examination was held, and she was acquit-
ted of all blame in the matter.

APPEARANCES DEoEPTIvE.-The following
good one we find in the Brookville, Pa, JEFF
fersonian, of recent date :-:sAn amusing in
the Ohio river between Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl, on one of her upward trips, which is too
good to be lost. Our eXcentric friend, Bene-
we'll Kroh, of this county, who had been down
the river with large lot of timber, having
sold at Marietta, Ohio, boarded the boat at
that point and procured cabin tickets for him.
self and several hands. Having secured his
tickets, he stepped into the cabin where num-
ber of well dressed passengers were seated,
and being rather roughly dressed and unshaved
his presence attracted the attention of the cap
tain of the boat, who Immediately informed
our friend that he was wanted on deck. Hav-
ing some freight shipped, Ben. thought it
might be something about it that required his
attention, but, finding this all right, he shortly
returned to the cabin, where the officer again
accosted him and informed him that he must
go below. This time Ben. wanted to know
what for, when the officer informed him that
deck passengers were not allowed to be in the
cabin. This somewhat riled our friend, who
Immediately produced his tickets, said he was
Pennsylvania Dutchman and ragged lum-
herman, but if the captain wanted to sell, to
make out the papers and he would buy his
tam boat. This was clincher, the officer was
nonplussed, and was only relieved from his
embarrassment by gentleman acquainted with
the parties explaining the matter; the ofhcer
apologized-the passengers laughed over the
joke-and Ben says he had lots of friends the
balance of the trip

LOOK ALOFT.

When the storms shall toss your fragile DARK,
And threatening waves around you roar
When clou ds are lowering wild and dark,
And distant lies the friendly shore,
Then, look aloft
When the fearful shipwreck threatens most,
And not harbor you can find;
But all along the rock bound coast
Wild beats the sea, loud means the wind,
Oh, look aloft'
No star of hope may beam above,
No beacon shines upon your way;
Your compass may unfaithful prove,
Your ship no more her helm obey,
Yet, look aloft.
Above the clouds there is an eye,
To watch your course, their gloom can pierce;
And though the tempest RACES high,
voice can quell its anger fierce
Then, look aloft.
Oh fear not Christian Sailor, fear
Nor storm, nor wave. nor rock bound shore
Launch boldly forth, He will be near,
And faith shall guide you safely Ger
Then, look aloft

ANNEXATION OF SAVOY TO FRANCE.-Recent
foreign advices leave no doubt that Savoy and
Nice are to he annexed to France. and that
Sardinia is to be compensated for this cession
of Territory, by having the consent of France
not only to the annexation of Parma and Mo-
dena, but also of Tuscany and the province of
the Romagna. The popular vote in Central
Italy shows that the people are almost unani-
nous in favor of annexation to Piedmont, and
in Parma, Tuscany and the Romagna, it has
been equally decisive. 1t is probable there
fore, that the recent elections will be followed
by the occupation of Central Italy by Sardin-
ian troops, and the formal announcement that
King Victor Emmanuel, respecting ssthe ex-
preston of the popular WILL accepts the SOW
ereignty Of the States and Territories which
have so clearly pronounced for Italian unity.
France and Sardinia have thus far played ad-
mirably, and the secret arrangement into
which they entered before the commencement
of the late war are now being carried out, and
France gains an equivalent for her sssacrifices"
by being put in possession of the passes of the
Alps.

1t has just been discovered that young
man, clerk in G.. G. Evans Gift Book Es-
tablishment in Philadelphia, has for some time
been engaged in embezzling money until it is
thought that it has reached the sum of Sc, 900.
He was the order clerk, and would fill the or
ders, but pocket the money. The money abb
stracted he used in building houses in the
lower part of the city, and as economy was
observed in the erection, and the houses have
been delivered up to Mr.. Evans, he will lose
little by the operation.

CATERPILLARs.-Wit little watchfulncss
and care in searching for caterpillars' eggs.
and destroying them before the leaves of fruit
trees put out. and before the worms hatch, you
thus save the trees from injury, or greater
amount of labor in killing the worms in the
nest after they hatch, and when other work is
pressing. A little practice will enable one to
detect them on the small branches of the
cherry and apple trees. The eggs are depos-
tied end-wise in a little bunch around the
limb, and very ingeniously covered with a
kind of gum or cement to protect the embryo
worms from injury by the weather.

and unfettered action will cease. We shall
wait. But let Douglas any other Democrat
be elected, and every man in the Free States
will arm himself for the struggle with the
slave power. Insurrection will break out up

in the pulpits-and we shall make greater Anti
Slavery progress in fonr years than we should
do in forty years under such programme as

The following private letter from Mr. Clay
shows that the agitation in Madison county is
more serious than the Kentucky papers repre-
sent. The letter is dated March 29th 1860;

pulsion of the BereanS from their homes being
in hopes that l would forciby defend them,

speech, rallying all the conservative men To
my standard, they churlishly gave in, yet fan
nlng the discomfort by garbling my speeches
North, and circulating false rumors. Hanson'S
return to his saw-mil at Berea (where he en-
pioyed many Republicans) gave new fuel to
the old fire. | went there on SATURDAY, and
tried to induce him to leave, telling him he
would bring fight, and advising the Re
publicans TO keep apart from the movement.
The mob at once cried out that was there
plotting an attack. On Monday they met at
Berea, insnlted the people by searching the
houses, and not finding Hanson, ,they provoked
conflict; several were wounded, and the
Lynchers were defeated On Tuesday they
returned in force; but finding no one, they
broke up the Saw-mill, and swore vengeance
against me and the whole party. In the mean
time con Tuesday, l spoke at Richmo mond, sta
ting that L was aud had been for peace that
stood upon the ground of my Frankfort speech,

mob increases in violence; / lie upon my arms

possible; standing the Constitution, tho

The Ereafng Post says that Mr.. Clay is the
wrong man to be assailed in this manner, and
he has too many friends, not only in Kentucky
but in all the free States, to be assailed with
impnnity. He will not, as he iniimates, or
rather asks, be allowed TO stand or fall alone.
The violence that shall strike down so mag
unanimous defender of justice and freedom
will inevitably provoke fearful recompense.
We earnestly hope, therefore, that the bnllies
who prosecuted the Bereans will be wise in
time.
