A Case of Sharp Practice.

On the 22d ult. Sheriff Spear laid an
attachment upon some two hundred dol
lars worth of personal property in this city,
and put keeper over the same. On
Sunday night following. at IL IL o'clock,
four men in disguise seized the said keep
er, pulled bag over his head and COM
PEELED him TO go with them TO the river.
Here boat was in readiness into which
the party embarked. The craft was vig-
orously rowed until the island of Amos
keag was reached, when the man in the
bag was ordered on shore, AMI his kidnap-
pers returned. leaving him at midnight on
a " lone and desolate isle" While this
scene was being enacted, other parties had
been at work. A writ, which had been
previously made and dated Saturday, was
put into the hands of another sheriff, who,
visiting the premises at midnight or little
past, found the property, laid an attach
ment upon it and Put it under keepers.
In the meantime the owner had mort
gage executed in favor Of the plaintiff in
the last case, when the keepers were dis
charged. Keeper No. having arrived
home from his moonlight excuis sion and
+" perilous adventures" of the night before,
after looking over the ground and acquain-
ting himself of the situation, informed
Sheriff Spear of what had transpired.
Mr.. Spear, under advice of counsel, pro-
ceeded to take possession Of the property,
and at last accounts held it peaceably.
/" waiting for something TO turn up"
The upshot of the whole matter is, that
the keeper was Kidnapped SO another par
ty could get possession of the property,
who. while in possession received mort
gage from the owner. Disregarding this
mortgage, Mr.. Spear takes second pos
session and now waits for parties at inter-
est to "shew cause if any they may have"
why he has not lawful right to hold the
same, TO be disposed of as the I" law in
such case made and provided Directs

night, an individual dressed in a blue

muzzled and followed his master, balanc-

Mortality Of Love.

/ never saw a man who did not believe
in the Immortality of love when following
the body of loved one to the grave. i
have seen men under other circums tances
that did not believe in it; but never saw
a man that, when he stood looking upon
the form Of one that he loved stretched
out for burial, did not revolt from saving,
/" 1t has all come to that: the hours of
sweet companionship; the wondrous inter-
lacings of tropical souls; the joys the
hopes /; the trusts; the unutterable yearn-
ings-fhere they all lie." No man can
stand and look into the coffin upon body
of a fellow creature, and remember the
flaming intelligence, the blossomng love,
the whole range of divine faculties, which
so lately animated the cold clay, and say,
These have all collapsed and gone.' No
person can witness the last sad ceremonals
which are performed over the remains of
human being--the sealing down of an
unopenable lid; the following of the rum
bling procession to the place of burial the
letting down of dust into dust; the falling
of the earth upon the hollow coffin, with
those sounds that are worse than thunder.
and the placing Of green sod over the
graye-no person, unless he be beast,
can witness these things, and then turn
away and say, II have buried my wife; l
have buried my child; have buried my
sister, my brother my love-"
God forbid that we should bury any,
thing. There is no earth that can touch
my companion. There is no earth that
can touch my child. l would fight my

you may carry the case before the su-
preme court of my understanding. All
that is in me revolts at the decision and
spurns it, and says, /" You must try heart

lieve but there is life somewhere else we
will not believe that life is buried here

strange world. saying, Where am ? and
