'J1 KRM8.?DAILY. penmmBi - ... gS OO TRI-WggKLY.peruna, ? ft QQ WEEKLY, per moan, - - ? 1 OO -WHEELING V A: SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 18,1858. IVk notice ia the Boston papers by yester day's mails, a report of the lecture of Bayard Taylor before the Fraternity Association of that city. His subject was "Life io the North."? The lecture was mainly descriptive of incidents of travel in Sweden and other Northern coun tries, as well as the manners and customs of the different races of people in the cold, northern climates. Generally speaking, the people were healthy, robust,. happy and mild mannered.? This was particularly the case among a portion of the Swedish people. The men were well formed, hale and hearty, had mild blue eyes and were upright in character, while the wo men were entire strangers to such a thing as a nervous constitutions. Bath sexes were good without knowing it, and happy without trying too hard to appear so. Tn regard to th?. Finnish people, their general appearance differed mate rially from the Sweden. They relish their pipes and coffee, and seemed to have a fondness for many Oriental customs. Indeed, it would hard ly seem possible that so many of the Oriental, customs could be transplanted and exist within the Arctic circle. A 7KIEXD of the New York I'oet, who was a fellow traveller with Ullman's opera company in the steamer Connecticut, a few nights ago, in their trip to Boston, gives some amusing intelli gence.?The opera company, numbering some thing over a hundred, kept up a prodigious jab bering on the boat?French, English, (or Ingleeth, rather,) Italian, German, and what not. Formes took two of the ballot or chorus women under his special charge, and amused them and others all night with stories and imitations of cats and dogs, and a kind of trumpet solo upon his nose. Others sang?and very finely, too? in the bold, having first obtained inspiration from various bottles of wine, brandy, <?c.? Tamare's state room seemed to be the headquar ters for liquor, but although many of the Ital ians and Germans were exhilarated, none were disorderly. The prime donne kept apart most ly, and Ghloni derived comfort from a lap-dog. On the land journey lrom Stonington to Bos ton the chorus people took possession of the best car, and filled it with tobacco smoke. It was altogether a funny company. Few, except those who have looked into the subject specially, are aware of the extent to which the vice of fortune telling prevails in this contry. A belief in their absurdit.es is a sort of disease or monomania, and it is confined chiefly to the ignorant and uneducated. Occa sionally, however, there are exceptions. "Doe sticks," one one of the most amusing writers of the day, now engaged on one of the New York papers, has devoted an entire volume to the his tory of fortune tellers in New York. He says that on visiting these sharpers he learned that every different planet known to astrology was in'the ascendent at bis birth; that the descrip tions of the wives promised him would give full thirty-three spouses; that, he was born once a year from 1820 to 1833; that he had more than twenty birth places, and that when dead it will be necessary to dissect his corpse into very small pieces in order that his earthly remains may be buried in all the places set down for him by these prophets. A patent has recently been issued to a gentle man in New York, who, it seems, has made pet ticoats his studo, for an entire new skirt, of the expansive and collapsive variety, that will par ticularly distress the male and enrapture the female portion of the community. It is made of white horse-hair in open work, and so pliable are the hairs, through their saturation with some new mkterial, which is also patented, a full skirt of forty hoopt, with all the essentials of elastici ty. fullness and strength, can be carried within a muff, occupying scarcely more space than a portmonnaie, and in an instant adjusted to the person, expanding to a diameter of six or seven feet, giving the wearer the agreeable circumfer ence of from nineteen to twenty-one feet. A cotemporary suggests that these skirts will be adapted to ladies of the.tfrxt circle. Auoso the items to be found under the for eign news head, on this page, we can't help re marking the item informing us that in Prussia, "prayers had been offered in the churches for the safe delivery of the Princess Frederick Wil liam." What an affliction it would bo to the cabbage raising Prussians if they should be de prived of the privilege of supporting another royal noodle, like the Prince's father was, through some obstetrical mishap. Therefore our prayers go up with those of the cabbage raisets?and in addition, may the Princess have lots of 'em in future?until the cabbage raisers are sick of the whole system. Tub necessity for organizing Arizona into a Territory appears to be very evident. The Washington Union says the proposed Territory is admitted to be one of the most valuable of our possessions, already numbers a population of more than 10,000 sonls and is attracting rapid a large and good emigration. The proposition to organize the Territory is simply this: to afford protection to our people?to protect the over land mail, daily threatened?and to restore upon oor Mexican frontier the prestige of the Ameri can name, sadly tarnished during tho past years of neglect At the Recorder's Court in Chicago the other day, a mad dog came rushing into the room.? The animal drove the Court, lawyers and loaf ers to the tabled, benches and railings, when a courageous chap seized the quadruped by the tail and pulled him thereby out of the room and down the stairs, where, with the assistance of Qthers, he dispatched hint. ? t'OKEIGN NEWS.

Dr. George Bennett's cross examination re sumed: Q.?Did you represent yourself as the heir at law of an annual income of $500,000 per year. A.?I put that in my pamphlet; that is all I know about it.

In 1857, I might have said to some one that my clear income was from $10,000 to $12,000 a year, if I did 1 was much out of the way; I might have pulled on the truth a little when I spoke to others about iny income. Q.?Now the question is whether, under that habit, (B., interrupting?Told a lie?) you have not said your income was $10,000. A. (chuck ling) I might have pulled on the truth. Miss Eliza Lewis sworn.?Besides in Auburn, ! New York. | Q?If you called on Dr. B. and wife in New York State? A.?I called on them while living I in 16th street; they were living in two rooms; know nothing of their difficulties; I learned of Mrs. B. that.she lived very unhappy with the Dr.; she said she wished him dead; said she of ten wished when he went out that something might happen to him, and that he'd never come back alive; she told me she frequently took mon ey from his pockets when he didn't know it, and concealed it; Mrs. B. showed me at that time a torn dress and bonnet; it was a skirt, a blue muslin skirt, which she said Dr. had torn off from her. She said after some dispute they went into the cellar. They talked further about it in the the cellar and in coming up Mrs. B. said she come in advance of Dr.; said she thought she'd try the experiment of knocking his hat off, and the result was he tore her dress, lieinember Mrs. B. was ill when I was there. She told-me the cause. I don't remember what she told toe. I have the impression that the sickness was pro duced by the combined efforts of Dr. and. her self, and that the success was pleasing to both. On that visit I bad conversation with Mrs. B. about Horace Smith. He made a visit there, while I was there. I can't give the language. She told me he hat} been in the habit of calling there wbilo in College. She said Mr. S.'s sym pathies became interested in her behajfland that finally his affections became interested. He made an avowal of lore which she accepted and reciprocated, and that they held a secret corres pondence. Don't remember anytliinff further on that subject in George street. Mrs. B. stated that tbe Dr. found Smith on the stairs. I've nothing farther to state. Dr. started to take me out riding: He found he had forgotten a key and ran back for it. He didn't state to ine that he found Mrs. B. I don't know where she said she was. T don't think she told me what she did, said or felt. I supposed she was talking with Mr. Smith. I thought she did speak of surprise at his coming back?it was unexpected. When we left to ride she was in her chamber. She was'Hl at the time. We left Smith in the drawing room not in the same floor. Smith was staying at the' house at this time?I'm not positive that hespont his nights there. He spent the day there and took his meals there. Adjourned till 9 A. M. Wednesday. KROM WASHINGTON.
