ment in Ireland should render movements

AN AroIoGrsr for the ferry monopoly,
who is in favor of paying higher taxes in Or
der to make still richer the pampered and
wealthy heirs of poor John Wilson, thinks il
wouldn't be right to refuse to. renew their
charter because they have ferry boat and
two wharf boats on hand. This is a very
weak excuse. If the charter is granted to
the people, and Robinson & Co. will bid
more than any other responsible parties for
the lease, they have the property on hand to
run the ferry. If their bid should be less.
they can easily sell their property for its val

On Monday young infant was taken in
charge by the Directors and sent to the poor
house. This infant was the child of a re-
specially connected young lady, of this coun-
ty, just merging into womanhood. who has
been betrayed and ruined by one who was
her own cousin! Such is the statement con-
tanned in an affidavit taken by an official at
her bedside, yesterday, when it was thought
her life would pay the penalty of the great
wrong.
1t was the old story of an unwise love,
false promises and the compromising of her
sacred womanly honor with one who, instead
of personating the libertine, should have
been bound by every consideration of a high
manhood to guard from dishonor the charac-
ter of her he loved
There is to our mind solemn lesson
taught in this sad case. 1t is that in how
soever species a guise they come, the allure
ments from the straight path of virtue should
be as closely questioned and as firmly resisted
as the larger and more unquestioned vice

PROBABLY there is no man in this country
who posses powers of oratory equal to John
4. Cough. He sways his audience at will !:
now INDUCING in the most affecting pathos,
and now convulsing his hearers with laugh
ter,at his irresistible drollery. Hispswers of
mimicry are unsurpassed, and those who
wish to indulge in good, hearty, dyspepsia
curing laugh, will be on hand next Tuesday
evening, at Babcocks Hall. Secure your
seats early.
