Acquaintance and Evidence, Justice and
Neighborship.

A neighbor of MarysviIle Justice of the
Peace was accused Of stealing horses found
in his possession. The case was brought be-
fore the above mentioned esquire" and two
strangers were introduced as witnesses. The
Appeol relates that upon the closing of the
examination the Squire" said:
"Gentemen, | have heard the evidence
agin the prisoner and am keen to own that
it is clear as daylight and straight as a string.
Wal, | know the prisoner, have knowed him
for some years, and never knowed of his
stealin' nuthin' in his life. These yerr wit
nesses is, no doubt, very clever gentlemen,
and is very likely well knowed and believed
in Sacamenter, but do know the prisoner
and he might had them hosses, but I'm
settn yer to do justice between man and
man, and | can't find no neighbor of mine
guilty of no sean' on the evidence Of two
strangers. Mr.. Constable adjourn court and

A Movement against the Negroes in Cana.

We noticed letter in the Philadelphia
Press few days since, from a correspondent
in Canada, stating that the people of that pro-
vince were discussing the subjec, of taking
steps to rid themselves of the negroes run oil
from the southern States and left among them
And now we have a report of the initiatory
step At the Court of Assizes of Essex coun-
ty, Upper Canada, the grand jury have made
a presentment to the court, based upon rep
resentation emanting from the authorities of
the township OF Anderson, in regard to the
negro population of the county The grand
jury submit the document that was presented
to them to the court, and urge that some ac-
zion be taken in the matter. The Anderson
authorities say: "We are aware that nine
tenths of the crimes committed in the county
of Essex, according to the population, are
committed by the colored people" And they
further urge 'that some measures may be
taken by the government to protect us and
our property, or persons of capital will be
driven from the country" The court alud-
ing to this presentment, remarked that "he
was not surprised at finding prejudice ex-
listing against them (the negroes) among the
respectable portion OF the people, tor they
were indolent, shiftless and dishonest, and
unworthy of the sympathy that some mis-
taken parties extend to them; they would
not work when the opportunity was present
ed but preferred subsisting by thieving from
respectable farmers and begging from those
benevolently inclined" What a commenla-
ry on British sympathy with American abo-
itionists! And what commentary also on
the exertions of American Abolitionists to
improve the condition of the negro, by in
ducng him to desert position in which he
is made useful to one society only to become
a nuisance to another! Memphis 1ppeal.

Mason and Dixon's Line.

On the 4th of August, 1863, Thomas and
Richard Penn and Lord Baltimore, being
together in London, agreed with Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon, two mathema-
tcians, or surveyors, to mark, run out, settle
and fix the boundary between Maryland, on
the one hand, and Delaware and Pennsyva-
MIA on the other. Mason and Dixon landed
in Philadelphia on the 10Th of November
following, and begun their work at once.-
They adopted the peninsuar lines and the
radius and tangent point of the circular of
their predecessors They next ascertaned
the north eastern coast of Maryland, and
proceeded to run the dividing parallel of
latitude. They pursued this parallel dis
tance of 230 miles Is chains and 21 links
from the place of the beginning at the north
east corner of Maryland to the bottom of a
valley on Dundak creek, where an Indian
war path crossed their route, and here, on
the 10Th of November, l763-02 years ago
their Indian escort told them that it was

WOMAN.

How sOlveless is woman!
What thinner can trace
The varied emotions
That CLEAN on her face!
And what art can portray
The feelings that lie
In the heave of her bosom,
The glance of her eye!
How tender is woman!
The watcher at night,
Who leaves not the blossom
On account of the blight.
An angel Of mercy,
She soothes us in pain.
And smiles in her gladness,
When health comes again.
How lofty is woman!
Deep, Deep is her ire,
When light words enkindlc
The sparks on the pyrc;
Majestic she towers,
Man quails from her view,
Till her wrath, like a cloud,
Soon dissolves into dew.
How loving is woman!
How fondly she clings
To him she las chosen.
Whatever he brings;
Though all he can utter
Are words to deceive;
Conliding-she loves him;
Though false will believe.
How child-likc is woman!
How winning her ways.
She strives for our pleasing,
Through long weary days;
No i'll can alright her,
No shade can annoy;
She seeks but to lead US
To sunshine and joy:

ARTIFICIAL IcE MAKING IN INDIA.-In
portions of India where the temperature Of
the air never falls below 40 deg. ice is regular
Iy made for sac by simply cutting off water
from receiving heat, and allowing it to radi-
ate portion Of that which it contains
Large pits are dug some two feet deep, and
filled nearly full of straw, and on this the wa
ter is set in broad shallow pans. The straw
being very slow conductor Of heat prevents
that which is in the earth from ascending to
the pans; and the pans are placed a very little
below the surface of the plain to avoid any
breeze, and thus prevent a renewal of warm
air from continuing the supply of heat to the
water. On clear and still nights; these ar
rangements are found to be successful, and
ice is produced in considerable quantities for
market. The water thus pl; ced continues to
radiae its heat as it is always doing; and,
being cut off from its usual sources of supply
the ten erature soon falls to freezing points.
When there are clouds in the skv, ice does
not form; the clouds radiatng to keep the
water too warm to freeze. A wind also pre-
vents the formation of ice; the water being
supplied with heat by constant contact with
fresh bodies of warm air. The pans Of wa
ter are placed on broad plains, where they
NAV be exposed to large portion of the sky
and out of view of other masses of matter
from which they might receive heat; as heat
like light, moves in straight lines.

Walking in Heaven.

There is story in the Mahabharata of five
Hindu princes, who set out from Delhi to
walk to heaven. How they discovered the
route is not my affair, and apparently the
secret died with them. Doubtless, there are
people in the present day who think that
Paradise can be reached by promenade;
and the individual who does a thousand miles
in thousand hours will perhaps tell you
serous y that if the feat should kill him, he
is prepared for the next world. However
this may be, the dangers and fatigues of the
excursion were too much even for epic heroes,
and one by one the princes dropped off,
dying with their attendants by the wayside
till Arjuna, the handsomest and best, was
left alone with but one follower-a dog. On
through the starless nights, across the track
less steppes, and through the thckest Jungle,
he strobe boldly, with an empty stomach,
but full heart, feeding, like lover, or can
didate for office, upon hope; and guided by
the heroic second-sigbt within him till he
stood before the flaming gates of Paradise;
and the noble maslitf, lolIing a weary tongue,
stretched itself at his feet, and stared into
his face. Vishnu, you may be sure, was
glad to see the knight, and asked him to
step in. "And this, my servant!' gasped
the way-worn traveller, pointing to the heavy
jawed beast. Cannot enter" replied the
god. Farewell, them" said Arjuna; Il will
walk back again, for, without him, heaven
were a waste"

How THE THISTLE SAVED Scotland
When the Danes invaded Scotland, they
availed themselves of the pitch darkness of
night to attack the Scottish forces unawares.
In approaching the Scottish camp unobserv-

tramp being heard, one of the Danes trod
upon large pricky thistle, and the sharp
cry of pain which he instinctively uttered
suddenly apprised the Scots of their danger,
who Immediately ran to their arms and de-
feated the foe with great slaughter. The
thistle was thenceforward adopted as the
national insignia of Scotland.
