In Saturdays DAILY GAZETTE appeared a no.
tice OF suit for perjury, before Esquire Frazer,
brought by citizen Of White Clay Creek Hun
ired against James H. Ray, Esq, of Newark
The name Of the party prsferring the charge is
very properly suppressed. as all good men would
surely scorn mean a character; and as the
party after reflection, sincerely regrets his action.
viii let his name, like his act pass into obli-
WON; especially since the attempt to levy black
mail Oh Ms. Ras, " Signay failed. and was re-
buked on the part OF ~ h1norable and sensible
Justice. The evidences adduaed, on the part of
the State itself, iMr. hay not having one wtnes.
in his defence proved most conclusively that this
act was bold attempt to take from Mr.. Ray his
good name, or extOrt large sum of money.
Had it been deemed necessary, Esq Ray could
have summoned hundreds of men from this neigh.
borhOod and county who would have Indignantly
denied the charge, and many gentlemen OF even
the City of Wilmington where Mr.. Ray was born
although he hes not resided there for twenty five
years. would attest TO his character and good
standing IS q citizen ana Q gentleman. and fsI
above ths crime of perjury.
Mr.. Ray met the charge ieaElesslv and boldly
not for the sake Of saving money. but 70 pr0tec
his good name. his character. Ssi his standing il
the community, and Esquire Frazer, after . ful
and searching investigation, dismissed the cas-
/ for want OF facts to Substantiate the charge.

In The Cars.

Whatever is indicative Of kind heart is
generally both winning aud graceful. | al
ways recall with pleasure little incident
that occurred in a steam car in which | was
riding, and which left pleasant picture in
my mind.
The ear was nearly filed with people, when
there entered it two men with their families
each taking opposite seats near the door
One Of the men was laboring Dutchman,
and as his wife held q small babe, he consti-
tuted himself the nurse of three sturdy little
fellows, very nearly Of a size, whose appetites
were equal to any that ever saw grati6ed
The gentleman opposite was elegance itself,
with a certain inefabIe grace about every
feature aud movement that was very attrac.
tive. lie also had with him his wife, who
evidently was an invalid, and a boy, the re-
Election Of his own manly beauty
The Dutchman answered all demands upon
his purse with ready generosity, regaling his
three boys with popcorn and apples but at
last, as if the idea had occurred to him that
his children might be hungry, he opened a
knapsack, aud took from it an immense Dutch
cake.
Having given what might be regarded as a
loaf to each Of the children, he restored it to
the knapsack, when he caught the eye Of the
boy opposite, who was regarding the perform.
ance with pleasant smile.
In an instant the knapsaek was thrown
open again out came the Duteh.cake, and
an ample triangle was handed across to the
dainty little fellow, who blushed, and glanced
at his aristooratic father for permission.
The gentleman took it from the Dutehman.
with smile that fully acknowledged his rec.
ognition of the favor intended, and raye it to
his son, who, in turn, thanked both his father
and the Dutchman. Then he held il in bi,
