Burning of 4 VIII.

The Delaware Republican snys:
ga few days ago the will Of the late Thomas
Jamison, who resided near st; Georgo's, was
burnt under tho following singular "circum-
stances: Mr.. Jamison, recently deceased,
had left his large estate, about hundred
thousand dollars in value, principally to his
sons, leaving bis daughters, three In number,
only six thousand dollars each, coupled with
The strange condition that the amount should
be for forfeited If they married without the
consent Of the executor, Mr.. Thomas ]. Cra-
yens. The will was drawn By Charles B.
Lore, Esq, aud witnessed by Mr.: Ell Bidd1e.
It was read after the burial Of Jsmison.
"a few evenings afterwards the young ladies
sent for Mr.. Craven, and desired to LOOK at
the will. He went there and found hot fire
In the stove, table opposite, With seats on
the side near the stove for the ladies, md on
the further side from the stove for himself.
One Of the ladies stated that she wished to
examine some items, and requested the WILL
to be handed to her. bfr. Craven complied
with her request, but, suspccting her tnten-
tion, moved to the opposite side Of the table
and sat alongside Of her.
stEhe examined the will carefully, when he
perceived Miss Anne Jamison open the stove

cions were allayed by her asking her sister for
the poker. Thinking she only wished to poke
the lire, he felt rather ashamed Of hn suspl-
cions, when he was handed Uarp<Ta Aa49,1ne

An Incident. Of DayldRoM'S Raid.
From The New Orleans Era.1

A friend sends us the following amusing in
cidcnt Of Gen. Dayidson's late ride through
rrbcllom:
During the late raid, which left Baton
Rouge under Gen. Davidson, The I'd Illinois
cavalry, commanded by the Lieut.. Colonel,
was ordered to prccede the main body into
Fsanklinton. About Two miles west Or the
tpwn, there is road coming into the Tangi-
pallo, road from the south, and just US the
ic.iment reached the junction, there was q
wedding party coming into the road from the
Eou.h. The party consisted Of the bride and
groom, four officers and soldiers OF the rebel
army, and five ladies. Seeing the "gray-
backs" the Colouei Of the Second ordered
them to halt, upon which the party turned to
run, when the Colonel commanded the ad-
vance of his regiment to fire and give chase.
When the firing began the ladies' placed them
selves between the conaending parties, and
the nlinoisans being too gallant to fire upon
the ladies, had no alternative but to run the
rebs. down. The chase lasted for two miles,
and resulted in the capture Of the entire
party except the bride. She Strengthened
herself in the saddle, pnt whip to her horse,
ard ou1run the squadron. When the party
was brought into the town, the commanding
officer offered the bridegroom to whit ior him
10 send Tor the bride aud finish the wedding
If he desired, but the offer WIS very politely
declined.

THE PASSPORT SYSTEM


We learn that the passport system now in
force between Canada and the United States,
while productive Il much Inconvenience to
the travelling puslio, is really not effective In
preventing pos sons from passing from tho
former country izto the latter without the
proper vouchers. A passport at Windsor
costs five dollars, but few miles up the 81.
Clair river persons are taken across In boats
for Two dollars end half, while the St. LAW
renee river, In Its present condition, furnishes
natural bridge for everybody, free of toll,
along its entire length, to say nothing Of the
unEuardcd md imaginary line which divides
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and a por-
tion Of New York from the Canadian terrific
~. The passport eystem is effective in Eu-
rope, because the traveller is required to
show it, not only at the border,
but ut every place which he en-
tcrs. Here it ia only required at few
Of the principal points Of ingress and cgress.
The person who gets safely over the border
may Journey from Mainc to Oregon without
ever being called upon to identify himself
Acain The St. Albans Riders did not invade
MS by 1ailroad. They took route which re-
mains unoDstructcd by the passport system
to-day. They might repeat their crime at a
hundred places, while only honest people,
coine abou, their business, would find them
selves harassed at the border by demand
for passports. We suggest whether 1t would
not be well either 10 make the system much
more rigid than It is, OF to abandon 1t alto
