We learn, says the Washington Sentinil; that a
case of more than ordinary interest will be taken up
in the circuit court during the present week. It will
be recollected that Messrs. Bradley & Carlisle ap-'
plied to the orphan's court for letters of admilistra
tion on the personal estate of the late doctor George
A. Gardiner, (which includes avery large amount of
money obtained under the award of the Mexican
board of commissioners, and was enjoined by the U.
States government about the time of Gardiner's ar
rest,) but judge Purcell gave letters of administra
tion to Mr. Casey, the treasurer of the U. States, on
the ground, we believe, that, this gentleman was
the proper person to administer; the general govern
ment having the best claim to the money, or some
thingto this effect. It is on the appeal of Bradley &
Carlisle that the matter will be argued before the
circuit court.
The Macon (Ga.) Journal and Messenger says:
SConsiderable excitement was created in our city on
Monday morning, by the announcement that San'l.
1. Scovill, book-keeper in the agency of the Marine
bank at this place, had absconded with $10,000 of
ithe funds of the institution. It has subsequently
appeared that he left this city at 8 o'clock Sunday
evening, on the train of the Macon and western rail
road, for Atlanta, but beyond that point it has been
impossible to trace his progress. It is supposed, as
the advertisements of fugitives usually read, that he
i, "making his way to a free State." Mr. Scovill has
heretofore borne a very good character for industry
and sobriety, and the announcement of his small
Schuylerism astonished every one. His parents, we
believe, were northern people, who resided for some
time in Twiggs county, Georgia, where he himself
was born. RIobert Slappy and Heywood Hughes,
eeqs. of that county, we learn, are the securities on
his bond for $7,000.
A sensible man writes to the New Yoik Journal of
Commerce, that if the pastors of the New England
churches had instructed their flocks ten or fifteen
years ago out of the word of God-if they had led
Iublic sentiment on the matter of social reform, in
stead of being led ,by it-it seems to us that New
England churches would have been saved from the
politoco religious fanatism that is now running thro'
them like vrild-fire, affecting not only them, but all
the benevolent societies supported by themi.
In the county of Harrison, Mississippi, lives a fe
male hermit--: curiosity, indeed, of her sex, because
prone to solitude and silence. She lives in a house
the fabric of her own hands, cultivates her own fields,
splits her own rails, does her own fencing, and the
present autumn she will have one handred bushels
of corn to sell and a few hundred bushels of pota
toes, all the product of her own unaided and indomit
able labors. She lives alone-no husband nor chil
dren, nor neighbors, nearer than three miles, to cheer
with a ray of social sunshine her singular and volun'
tarv isolation.
Last Sunday evening, soon after six o'clock, says
the Salem (Mass.) Gazette of the 28th ult., a child of
the age of twelve months was put to bed with ayoung
5ister, ten years of age, in the house of their parents
in Sewell street. About an hour afterwards, a scream
was heard from the infant, upon which the mother
hastened to the chamber, and found him, as it was ex
pressed to us, "in a gore of blood." A rat had bit
ten and torn all the fingers of one of his hands, very
badly, causing it to bleed profusely, and the little
fellow in his movements had dabbled himself all
over, so that he was a frightful sight to behold.
Mr. Geo. Elliott, the aeronaut, recently made an ex
cursion near the Magnolia springs, in the neighbor
hood of the Dismal swamp. It was his one hundred
and fourth successful trip to the skies, and he de
clared that no former one had given him greater satis
faction. The weather was delightful, calm and very
clear; a gentle breeze graduallv took him as he as
cended to the west. Amid the cheers of his specta
tors, the roar of cannon and the sounds of music, he
asceinded seventeen thousand feet, having a view of
the entire Disnld swamp, though at no time was he
invisible. Mr. Elliott says the scenery was the most
picturesque ever witnessed. Lake Drummolnn d, situ
ated in the centre of this great swamp, presented a
sublime and pleasing sight. Hie represented the
swamp as one vast plain, interspersed with innu
mnerable pools or lakes, whose surface presented a
golden hue.
The war department has issued orders establish

next, excepting such caudidates as are serving in
New Mexico. These will be examined on the first
Monday of June. As a general rule, one-fourth of

tion of non-conmmissioned officers.
There is no little stir and muss about the ladies'
eqrtestrianismn at the late Zanesville, Ohio, fair. Miss
ograham was awarded the first prize, a $50 watch
the friends of Miss Kitchen, were incensed-they
clubbed $150 for a watch for that lady, and sent to
P'hiladelphia. The Grahamites determined to "clar
tile kitchen," clubbed $175, and sent to New York
to beat the beater, and Miss Graham a brag repeater.

M1r. Belmont, the U. S. minister at the Hague, has
addressed a letter to the Washington Union, denying
the charges brought against him by certain newspa
Ipr correspondents Ie says that he e has transacted
no banking business at the legation, and employed
no, clerk tlhere or elsewhere for that purpose. He
also denies that he has neglected the case of captain
Gibson.
An extensive movement is now on foot in Canada
to procure the passage of a bill by parliament, now

It is stated that the scientific men of France are at
present speculating on a recent instance of a young
'man being brouIght to life after being frozen eleven
moiths on the Alps. The blood of a living man was
infused into the veins of the frozen youth, and he
moved and spoke. The experiment was afterwards
tried on a bear frozen for the purpose, with complete
success.
The Columbus Fact states that a band of Indians
gave performances in Somerset, Ohio, and that two
girls, sisters, were so captivated with the "dance and
the whoop of these sons of nature," that they asked
permission to accompany them, which being gal
lantly granted, they proceeded as far as Putnam,
where they were overtaken by the mother of the
girls, a spry widow, who called oh the police to aid
her in recovering her "wild-going" daughters. But
alas for woman's resistance to love's appeals when
pressed in that eloquence and those signs of natural
affection and simplicity which those native sons of
the forest could bring to bear! After alittle "talk"
and a private interview with the chiefs, the mother
discharged the police, and made a third "willing
heart" to follow the Indian "men" to their western
r·:mn.

Monroe, "I tldark mulatto, about 5 feet S inches high,
heavy seti square shoulders, and a down look when

of fair covplexion, sandy hair a little inclined to redse
ish color, hbout 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, inclined to
corpulenct, is of frank and open countenance. Htre
potrts himnelf as belonging to Kentucky; but this is

it is belie ed that he is connected with a clan of
thieves. The direction he has taken is unknown.

Daguerreau likenesses excelling any hitherto execu

art, and in possession of all the late ilmproveinents, I
will be prep',red, by the aid of an ample SXKY:LruHT
and the celebrated ELF.' ItO-1'MANETIC process, t to take
likenesses almost instauttaneously, thereby cotmmitting
to "metalic immortality" the happiest expression oft
the "human face divine," and avoiding the staring
and frowiing contour, attendant upon long sittings.
By a sECRnET accelerating process, in connexion with a
'Buickworker," likenesses of INFANra will be taken in
fair weather with extraordinary certainty and perfec
tion. I intend also to introduce some new styles of
pictures by patent clhemical processes that are all the
go in the northern cities. The celebrated "crayon,"
or Byron, and vignette miniatures. T'he fine illus
trated or halo pictures, and those wonders of science
and art, "stereoscope" pictures which by some myste

an outstanding fortm. Those lovers of the fine arts who
desire something rare and a rtistic-gems of the "art di

To my Customers.
lJAVING repe:!tedly invited all those indebed to
1 me to conie forward and settle, and notified them
that if they did nit I would be forced to bring suit, I
hope that they will neither feel angry nor chas~ined at
my commencing legal prosecutions against all such at
the ensuing term of the district court. I have heavy
payments to make, and cannot do so without money.
A large tmnount of my resources is in :he hands of de
linquent customers, and not wishing to share the fate of
several of the distinguished merchants of N. Orleans,
I am forced in se'lf-lefence to place all my outstanding i
accounts in the hands of a lawyer for collection by le
gal process. [june 28)] A. BAER.
