H. novel case of habeas corpus involving
curious and important questions of law was re-
Gently tried before Judge ) Nj. Moore of the Cir
cult Court, CovingtOn, Ky. resident of that
CITY, named William Ross, a short time since
became enamored with his step -daug hter Marpa-
ret 20 emdn, who reci procated his affections and
d marriage engagement was the conseQ uence
But the alta cd pair found that their relationship
was among the degrees prohi bited by the laws of
kentucky But the river was easily passed, and
once In Ohio the restraints of the law would be
removed-marriage between blood relatives alone
Delng prOhlb bited in that State. They according
ly visited Cincinnati, Were united in matrimony
ana returned home rejoicing. The friends of the
parties, however, were dissatisfied with the nup-
hals, and determined to separate them.
The girl being few months under 2l wears of
aSe-the period of female aority in Kentucky
and TILL the marriage having been under the
guardianship of a man named Hail. but who had
resigned as soon as the event had taken place a
guardian named Elisha Coleman, a relation of the
lady's was appointed for the occasion, and a writ
OF habeas corpus was sued on Ross, commanding
him to produce his wife before Judge Moore, and
show by what authority she was detail ned by him.
The proper evidence of the marriage was pro
duced, and the fact that she more than Is
years OF age, which concluded the period of her
infancy at the place where the marriage was SOL
emnized, were procured in Court. The attorneys
for the guardian claimed that as the parties were
residents of Kentucky, marriage elsewhere to
evade the laws of that State, was null and void
The Judge sustained the positions nullified the
marriage, and gave the lady into the custody Of
Mr.. Coleman.

EXCITEMENT IN JEFFERsONvILLE, INp-Thrse
Hundred Men and Boys in Arn,S-The Louisville
Democrat of the l1th inst. says: Our readers will
remember that some weeks ago, the citizens held
meeting, In which they prote sted against the
employment Of the penitentary convicts outside
OF that institution as demoralizing and for other
reasons, and resolved to notify the Superinten-
dents that II this should be persisted in the people
would use forci BILE measures after the lst instant
to prevent it. No attention having been paid to
this warning, a meeting was held on the 9th inst
at which arrangements Were perfected to carry
out their previously expressed intention. Accord
lngly about O'Clock yesterday morning the fire
bells Were rung, and the citizens to the number
of abou: $50 men, and about the same number of
boys, assembled and proceeded in a body to
where the convicts were at work. Messrs
Crutchfeld Kegwin had about II employed in
their brick-yard, which they took in charge,
with about forty employed in wood chopping,
and also number employed on the turnpike
which they marched to the prison The gates
were opened, and all were admitted They then
went to tie brick-yard OH the premises of the
prison, where convicts were employed and de-
manded them, and the crowd dispersed In
marching through the streets to the prison the
convicts threw up their hats and gave three cheers
for Dave Miller. Mr. Miller is the present lessee
of the penitentiary. The Warden says he will
have them all out again to-day, If the weather
permits The citizens threaten to drive the m
back as often as they brought out and if that
does not answer they will dress them up in citi-
zen's clothes and let them fly.

lNFANrICIDE IN CHIyA.-Much has been said
OF lnfantlcIde In China, but it appears to be ex-
aggerated- Children are generally worth some
thing; parents mig ght sell them, or at any rate
could take them to the fouHdling hospital. of
which there Is generally one in every city; but
during the famine alluded to, there were doubt
less many mothers who were unable to supply
the natural nourishment TO their offspring, and
the infants died, or perhaps were put an end to-
Ii struck Inc at the time that many infants must
be destroyed, and L went to the small tower.
not far from Shanghai into which the bodies
of children are cast. The tower covers a we'll
ana stands about twenty feet high; at the
upper part are two small arched windows
through which the children are thrown. On
clmoing up to look down through the windows
was horrltcd to find, that not only was the
we'll full, but the tower piled to the ton with
bodies The keen frosty weather prevented
putrefaction giving earlier notice of the dead
pile there accumulated. The infants were
wrapped In mats or old clothes; but there was
nothing to lead to the belief that they were
thrown there alive, or that they had been
killed; and without better evidence than ex
lists, the Chinese at Shanghai should have the
benefit of the doubt, and we may believe that
most of che children died a natural death. and
were deposited in this recognized recc ptacle for
their corpses, to save the expense Of a regular
burial. At the foot of the tower remains of
smell fires were visible. showing that offsprings
had been made to loss, through that most
giaIing OF cheats, paper syce. The strongest
evidence against the tower is its proximity to
Buddhist nunnery; these are often most dis
reputaoie places There was one at Foochow
IN which the nuns behaved so grossly that thu "
were put to death; and the funds of tho nunnery
confscated to the Government T,rsI,.e YER
az China.
