represented to be his wife. 4 few days after
the lady appeared herself unacconlpanied and
made the assertion that she was the wife Of
the gentleman, and gave her name as Mrs
Jones and her story seemed so complete that
not doubt was entertained Of anything unu-
sual until she gave birth to child. Nothing
was yet expressed, although it appeared rea-
sonable that under the circumstances tho
father would have been near. Not 50. how

III consequence Of the general ignorance

daily lost to those interested by being inapro-

ions require that all such letters dropped in-
to postoftices shall be Immediately forwarded
to tho Dead Letter Office, where they arc
never heard from unless they contain money

low some information which may prevent
vexation to correspondents. The rate Of post
age or. letters within the Uuited States is three
cents for every letter or. sealed package

MISCELLANEOUS
Social Science

A meeting was held in the Warren Street
chapel last evening" for the purpose Of the
promotion OF a local Society on Social Science
in connection with the recently formed Ma
tional Association. Rev. Mr. Babcock pre-
sided. 8H'
Rev. Mr.. Barnard addressed the meeting on
the Importance of such a society, 50 as to
bring the attention OF the public to the laws
Of health and other subjects connected with
social life. In view Of the probability that the
cholera would ere long visit this city, he urged
the necessity of making immediate prepara-
tons to prevent its extended ravages.
DIR. Walter Claiming said that in the FIVE
times this terrible disease had visited Boston
he had learned MANY interesting facts in re-
gard to it. Referring to the localities in this
city where the cholera would be likely to ap-
pear, be stated that the vicinity of Church
street was much exposed. He thought that
there was no chance at this late period of the
season TO improve the drainage of the houses
In the aforementioned locality In his
studies of the circumstances attending the
visits of the cholera, be had found hardly an
instance in which a decent person was at
tackled Cities surrounded by fresh water. he
had learned by examination into the subject,
were most exposed. The people who suffer
most are those whose personal habits are un-
clearly. Fresh air, cleanliness, and steady
habits were the best representatives. for this dis
ease, although it is impossible to guard en-
tirely against it. DIR. Charming, in speaking
of cases of cholera which he had attended
told Of patient so sick with the disease that
be was expected to live but q short time who
was cured in one night by simply drinking
two buckets Of ice-water and also of British
officer who effected cure upon himself by
freely drinking Of iced soda water.
Otis Capp remarked that recently he had
been reading English works on this subject,
and from them he had learned that the class
OF persons who are generally attacked are
those who live in filthy condition, inhalo bad
air, whose personal habits are bad and whose
life is irregular. These facts he thought ought
to be known, and be hoped the society, which
it was proposed to form, would make it
point to urge the necessity of temperance in
all things, carefuhess in what is eaten and
drank, and the using of the facutier spar
ingly--Boston Courier

TRouBLoUs TIMES ABOUT RALE1GH.-It is
a fearful thing to contemplate that citizen
five miles from the city cannot retire at night
without the fear of being dragged from his
bed by negroes before morning, and yet such
is the condition of things, two cas- having
occurred within ten or fifteen days. And
we'll as we believe the military agents of the
Government to be disposed towards e;:r peo-
pie, we cannot look for or hope for .. 'sction
and security from these dangers until vii law
is entirely restored and thoroughly engorced;
and we trust the Legislature will act }.lompt-

VIM. Willis who murdered woman in
Kingston, N. T., several months since, because
she broke off a marriage engagement with
him, was convicted and sentenced to be hung
A new trial was afterwards granted him,
however, at which he was again found guilty
of the murder. On Saturday he was brought
before the County Court, now in session in
Kingston, and again sentenced to be hung
The execution will take place at Kingston
some time during this month.

A Montreal paper has an account Of tie
circumstances connected with the murder on
the third instant, at St. Martha, OF Franci s
Madden, Mayor of that place, in house of
suspicious character, A Mrs. Laroux, the
keeper Of the place, and man named Ro-

was murdered for the sake of plumber
Seven wounds were found on the body, either
one of which would have been fatal to life.

A Convention of Spiritualists is sitting in
Philadelphia, Among other ideas advanced
is this That Paganism is superior to Christi
anity The latter, it is eontended, by some of
the speakers, has had fair trial, but has been
fund wanting. This is slightly irreverent, not
to say blasphemous and profane; but it shows,
nevertheless, pretty well, what Spiritual

The church, as a general thing has become
an immense machine for the pronunciation OF
The peculiar tencts of the Abolition party,

was formerly done by The most despicable Of

fall Of the State political fabric, The worst
oncnies to their country, ever since the
world began have been the political priests,
and the rule holds as good in the present
ago AS in any which has gone before The
renowned commentator, Dr.. Clarke, was
doubtless imPressd with the truth of this
assertion when he wrote the following "Hp
who while he processes the religion of Christ

writing, who excludes from the sa!vat.cn of
