THERE has been for many years suit
pending between the States of MNssachu-
sets and Rhode Island, each claiming with
in their boundary lines property valued at
overa million of dollars. The joint Com
mittce of the General Assembly of Rhode
Island are Inow in session for the purpose
of hearing the parties interested. 1t is
now proposed to draw a conventional line
as boundary between the two States, so
as to leave Rhode Island in possession of
Central falls, of the whole of Seekonk and
Providence rivers, adding to the territory
the whole of Seel1onk, and a small part of
Swanzey and westport, leaving for Massa-
chusetts the whole town of Fall River
Such settlement is warmly urged, but it
is yet matter of doubt how far the Gencr-
al Assembly will coincide in this view.

or wrong, that the motion is not in order

Mr. Collier went on. He said that the
Convention had adopted the rules of the
House of Delegates for its government. but

SINGULAR 1NFATUATION-The New Or.

Louisiana, and possessing wealth, recently
went to the city in search Of amusement and
directly visited the museum Of Signor Vannu-
chi. A giantess, Miss Sarah Moorehouse.
was exhibiting herself at that establishment
and to her the planter raised his eyes-indeed'
he was obliged to raise them, for she was seven
and half feet high, aud his feet were only
five. The planter at once loved the giantess,
and spent money in purchasing tickets to the
museum. The treasury rejoiced, but the
giantess did not reciprocate the affection. On
the contrary, she declined his offers of mar.
riage three times. This coyness the unsuc.
cessful man attributed to the influence Of Sig.
nor Vannuchi and he accordingly determined
10 remove her from the sphere Of the show.
mans influence. Stratagem was necessary.
and was unhesitAtingiy used. The giantess
was induced by some pretense TO enter 8
carriage, which was then driven away. After
going some distance the planter jumped in.
and the vehicle whirled ON ats way again. The
giantess listened for q few moments TO her
victims tale of love, then quietly opened the
door, dropred him in the street. whence he
was taken with a dislocated shoulder to hos.
pitai, while she returned to the museum; but
her nerves were so much shattered that an
operate apology was made in order that
peaceful sleep might remove the memory Of
this rough course OF love.
