His happiness, however, was doomed

act so innocently committed on
bis part, he was sentenced to six years
imprisonment. Five years of this term

very humblv ])etitioned the Legislature
to abate
the'remaining year. From the
testinioay of Mr. PilUbury, the warden of
ihe prison, it appeared that the poor fel
low was a very harmless, inoffensive man
and his petition was granted unanimously.
We could almost have wished the House
had also granted him a special dispensa
tion, with full permission to take his adopt
ed spouse again, and live with her until
his own lawful wife should be returned to
him. Had it not been for bad example's
sake perhaps they would.
FILES OF NEWSPAPER.—Read the fol
lowing, on this matter, from the Troy
Mail.—"There are few who deem it
worth while to keep files of their newspa
pers. Those who subscribe for them
most liberally rarely preserve them.—
This is wrong. If a newspaper is worth
taking, it is certainly worth preserving.
A complete file of newspapers is far more
valuable at the end of the year than the
money it costs. Newspapers are tran
scripts of the history of the times not al
ways entirely faithful or accurate in all
respects, yet even in their fictitiouscolor
iogs and party attributes
they furnish mat
ter of interest for future speculations and
reference. As years pass away those
files will continually enhance in value.
What would the oldest inhabitants of our
city now give for a file of newspapers
published 00 or 70 years ago? What
more interesting legacy can those living
bequeath to their children and grand chil
dren than a file of newspapers at the
present time? Admit that much contain
ed newspapers is trash still that trash is
apart of human life.—Deduct from exis
tence its trifles and frivolity—how little,
how very little is left. Every family
ought to keep a file of their newspapers.
As children grow up they will become
interested in examining them and the
fund of general information thus acquir
ed, will be by no means inconsiderable.
The pains necessary to preserve them, if
attended to weekly, would be trifling."
REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE.— A ven
erable American Judge relates the follow
ing revolutionary anecdote. 'The morn
ing following the battle at Yorktown, I
had the curiosity to attend the dressing of
Ae wounded and among others whose
iirabs were so injured as to require am
putation, was a musician, who had receiv
ed a musket ball in the knee. As was
®«al in such cases, preparations were
making to lash him down to the table,
w prevent the possibility of his moving.
Siys the sufferer, 'Now, Doctor, what
would you be at?' 'My lad, I'm going to
toko off your leg and it is necessary that
you should be lashed down.' 'I shall
consent to no such thing. You may

took about 40 minutes, was completed,

The Land Office at Galena, which has

recently appointed Register, has entered
upon the discharge of his official duties.
SOMETHING NEW.—A new Steam Ferry
boat has been placed on the Alton Ferry
which has rather a novel appendage. In
order to dispose of the surplus power of
her engine and her extra loom to advan
tage, she runs a small pairof patent Burr
stones. With these she is enabled, while
crossing the river and running off steam
to grind about one hundred bushels of
corn meal per day. This is said to be a
great accommodation to the public.
A BLOW UP SAVED BY SINKING.—The
steamboat Tennessee, on her way from
Louisville to Nashville, Tenn., when near
Rome, Indiana, about 100 miles below
Louisville cnught fire and there being a
quantity of powder on board, to prevent
an explosion, the Captain thought proper
to sink the boat. It is thoHght that she
can be raised, although much damage
must be sustained.—Mo. Uepublican.
RUSSIA.—Extract of a letter from St.
Petersburgh of the 9th inst:—"Every
thing here breathes war the Emperor, it
is said, will go to Kievv, even before the
marriage of the Duke de Luctenberg, to
review the army of the south, and to de
liver the command of it to Marshal Pas

gotiate with Prince Metternich for the
rupture of Austria with England in case
of a war in the east and it is said that

British are about com-
commencing a Fort at Madawaska. It is
to be called barracks, but the walls are to
be eight feet thick. We have some doubt
whether the home Government will enter
fully into the views of the provincial in
fortifying their position in our territory—
that is, unless our Government should be
unpardonably remiss in its duty. If the
British (says the Journal) wish to build a
Fort and make us a present of it, as an
offset for Fort Blunder, (Rouse's Point,) it
may be very well,
We do not believe a word about this
fort building. It is a border story.—(ED.

FROM HALIFAX.—The Halifax Times
of the 8th inst. mentions the arrival of the
steam frigate Medea, last from Bermuda
—adding that while on her way from Ha
vana to Jamaica she was fired into at night
by a French man-of-war brig. One man
was killed and several were wounded by
the fire.
The French commander said that he
mistook her for a Mexican. He apolo
gized to Commodore Douglass, on dis
covering his error, and the apology was
accepted.
OLD AND NF.W FASHIONS.—In old times

A highly respectable broker of New
York, named Sehultz, borrowed some
money for a particular purpose, which he
promised to repay in two days but from
inevitable necessity, was unable to do so
and his sense of honor was such that he I
resolved not to outlive the disappointment
(and disgrace as he termed it,) and there
fore took a quantity of Prussic acid, with
a view to terminate his life.
The Journal of Commerce of the 25th,
says that he was a ive on Saturday, and
that several houses for whom he had sold
bills of exchange have not been settled
with. Some $30,000 is mentioned.
BUSINESS IN CIIICAG'O.—The Chicago
American gives a very flattering descrip
tion of the business prospects of that city.
But a few years ago Chicago was consid
ered a mere vision of overheated specu
lation, but it has sprung into existence as
it were by magic, and is now one of the
most important cities in the w est. The
credit of Chicago stands high in the east,
and as an evidence of its flourishing con
dition, the American says that ii is esti
mated that there will be from ten to twen
ty fold more goods brought there this year
than during the last.
Sac and Fox War Party.—Agen
tleftian direct from the Agency, on
the Des Moines, informs us that the
war party of the Sacs and Foxes, of
which we spoke some four or five
weeks ago, returned some days since,
bringing with them eight sculps,about
an equal number of squaws as priso
ners, and several horses. The Indi
ans thus cruelly butchered were of
the Omaha tribe, from the Missouri.
The party consisted of ten men, with
their squaws and although only eight
scalps Were brought in, it is supposed
that not a single man escaped. We
are not aware that feelings of hostili
ty have heretofore existed between
these nations. The ostensible object
of the Sac and Fox party was to
chastise the Sioux. The expedition
was headed by Pa-nas-sa, the bold
and daring brave who recently inflict
ed a dangerous wound upon the per
son of Ke-o-kuk.—Ter. Ga.
