Human Nature .-- A slander case was tried on Friday, in the Common Pleas, in which a respectable woman had been charged with stealing. - The principal witness against her was a tall good looking man, dressed in a hand-
some olive-coloured surtout coat, but- toned up to the neck, who was produc- ed by the defendant to justify his slander, and who swore positively that he saw the lady pilfer money from the till of the plaintiff. The first question put to the witness upon his cross ex- amination was the very singular one of " Pray, Sir, where did you get that coat you now have on ?" Witness de- murred, and the court thought with some propriety that it was not an ese sential point, bat required him to an- swer it -- He said the coat had been lent to him by the accuser. The next question was yet more singular : " Pray Sir, where did you sleep last night ?" Witness deferred again, but. finally ad- mitted "in the defendant's stable." What led to these questions was the fact that the counsel for the plaintiff, on looking close at the witness, discov- ered beneath the handsome frock a black and torn shirt, and suspected that the man was a kind of vagrant, dressed up for the purpose by the ac- cuser, which turned out to be the fact. Verdict, 150 dollars for plaintiff. Noah's Adr.

Singular Case .- A friend, who is well acquainted with the fact, gave us the following information : A young man named Davenport, aged about 19, and a resident of West Brunswick, in the north part of this county, was returning home from his day's work in usual health on the evening of Thurs-

day the 9th ult. but was found dead (or apparently so,) the next morning, in the road about 100 rods from his father's house. On the 11th, a coro- ner's Inquest was called, who pronounc- ed the cause of his death unknown. From this time the body was observ- ed to discover various signs of gradual- ly returning life, and after the funeral ceremonies on the 12th, the coffin be ing opened for the view of spectators, the corpse presented a most unusual appearance -- the color had returned to the cheeks -- the countenance like that of a person in quiet sleep -- and large drops of sweat were standing on the forehead ! The young man's fath- er refused to have him buried -Physi- cians were called and several experi- ments were tried, in the hopes of re storing the vital spark-all however proved unavailing, and after keeping him till Tuesday the 14th ult. the bo- dy was committed to the grave.
The Rev. Mr. Tenant, of New Jersey, many years ago, we believe, put on a similar appearance, and his friends kept him nine days, delaying, from day to day, the funeral, and mak- ing experiments to revive or resusci- tate him. The physician persevered in his efforts, and entreated the family to allow him to proceed, and finally he begged them to allow but fifteen minutes longer, and in that time he re- vived, and lived many years.
Hydrophobia .- A very interesting of the cure of Hydrophobia, by Dr. Smith, is published in the Baltimore American. The remedy used, was Sugar of Lead, ten grains every thir- ty minutes, together with Loulard's solution (preparation of lead) blisters, dressed with ointment and lead. The most violent paroxysms, were allayed, and the patient restored.
Madame Lafasse Luquai, 37 years old, recently fell violently in love with a Watchmaker, 36 years of age,in Paris, who was attached to an amiable young lady of 23. Having repeated- ly importaned the Watchmaker, to no purpose, she repaired to the apartment
of the young rival, and rubbed, with a glove, oil of vitrol all over her face, neck, and shoulders, and has thus made her appear an object of hatred forever ; madame has been arrested and waits for trial.
Mohicans .- We understand that the new novel will be dramatised, and from our knowledge of the competen- cy of the gentleman who undertakes the work, we feel confident of success. Among other scenes, we understand, there will be several. peculiarly charac- teristic and American.
"Glenn's Falls " will be painted as exactly as possible.
" The Beaver Dams" will be giv- en, and the economy and habits of the animal pourtrayed.
" The Indian Encampment and War Dance" will be presented in their singular originality.
" The Indian Council Fire," or leg- islation, will be developed with the fi- delity of the admirable delineation in the novel.
The droll scene of the "Conjuror " and the " Bear " will be offered, with Indian superstitions.
"The English Encampment," and the " Striking of the Tents of an Ar- my " will be presented.
Several songs and duets compose a part of the drama, and offer equal pleasure to the votaries of the pencil and the lyre .--- N. Y. Adv.
O'Keefe, author of " Wild Oats," and other plays, and who is now be- tween 80 and 90 years of age, is redu- ced to absolute penury, having been deprived of the £20 annuity he re- ceived from Covent Garden Theatre, by a Chancery suit in which that com- pany is engaged.
Prof. Mezzofanti of Bologna, speaks thirty two languages, but Baron Rothschild can scarcely write his name : no matter, he is rich. The marriage portion of his neice was a million pounds sterling, with two mil- lions more, at a fixed period.

one of that noble band of naval heroes who contributed so much to the achieve- ment of our independence During the revolutionary war he was taken prisouer by the enemy, and endured much suffering and distress After the close of the war he devoted himself to the study of history, politics, and general literature ; and few men in this or any other country have stor- ed their minds with so much useful and im- portant knowledge as General Cumming. He possessed a very retentive memory, and a sound and discriminating judg- ment Every thing of a public and use- ful character in his neighbourhood was patronized, and indeed almost originated by him. His life was emphatically a life of public usefulness, which enabled him to triumph over death, looking forward with perfect composure to that reward in the world to come, which shall crown the be- neficent, the humane, and the good.

For the Boston News Letter and City Record. STANZAS. I. O ! when the imperious shade of Death Shall veil my heart,
And I be shrouded in the cold earth, From all that's dear apart,
I ask a sigh from friends so dear ---
I ask a tear from kindred near ---
Nor cold neglect -- nor hatred fear From foes a smart. II. If, o'er my estrade grave, When I am dead,
Some female hand will wave,
And roseate flow'rets spread ;
0 ! when the sun is waning,
Its ephemeral rest a gaining, May one be found a straying,
O'er my fond head, III.
The living die-the dead they go to rest, In the cold grave ; The young-the old-the worst -- the best --- Nor rank -- nor merit save.
There's pride of pomp -- there's pride of fame -- There's love of worth-and love of galu, But all is nought save a good name ,
When in the grave.
LEONTIUS.
For the Boston News Letter and City Record. MR. EDITo: .- Some years ago, a for young man, whose talents were of .: Grst order, and whose education, igh liberal, only embraced the use- er inches of literature, and whose meter and disposition were of an Ned! cast, became acquainted in the ·il village of W ... , in the State Connecticut. While he was there
pursuing the study of law, under the guidance of a venerable Jurist, a young daughter of the Judge, whose youth and beauty were the theme of many sighing swains, favoured the attentions of the subject of this narration, Mr. Austerlitz. Educated under the im- mediate eye of an excellent, pious and accomplished mother, Josephine Bur- roughs expanded into womanhood -- the admiration of men and the pride of her sex.
Mr. Austerlitz entered into an ent- gagement with this lovely creature, and consequently brought upon his head, the hatred of several unsuccess- ful suitors, as well as the less danger- ous envy of those who dared not aspire to the hand which they could not pre vent from becoming united to his.
Having completed a professional course of studies, young Austerlitz, with a contented heart, and buoyant spirit, launched into the wide world, a stranger to diversified human char- acter, and those mazes with which pol- lution fetters the devotees of vice.
Without money,-indeed without any thing, save a pure conscience, he quickly established a reputation, in a distant part of the State of New-York, for all those qualifications in a man and a counsellor, which gain upon the con- fidence of polished Society. Two vears had passed away since he left the dear object of his bosom ; entang- led in the endless routine of business and at the same time actuated by a laudable ambition to lay a permanent

foundation for a character which would sustain him in future years, he never had found it possible to disengage him- self, from the cares of his. profession, a period sufficiently long to visit the idol of his affections, though he maintained a punctual correspondence, and regu- Jarly informed her of the transactions of each week, during this long- and, to a devoted lover, a little eternity. The preliminaries of the marriage, and even the exact day was settled by letter, and on the ninth of June, 1805, Mr. A. almost overcome with the joy- ful thought of soon folding within his arms, the angelic-the virtuous Jose- phine, commenced a jaunt to the scenes of his early boyhood, and to the residence of his dearest friend, his fu- ture wife.
It was a melting scene : the lovers met, -- they wept-they smiled upon each other,-they were married --
Happiness is a phantom on the earth ; it has no sure residence below. Time chases smiles away :- the grave hides many victims of despair who once believed themselves the favour- ites of Providence ; and then a broken heart has swept them to an early tomb --- for disappointments chill a feeling heart :- the fairest forms will pine away in solitude ;--- the soul can only live -- it lives beyond the sphere of hu- man vision, in brighter mansions than a tenement of clay.
After a pleasant, deliberate ride, through a romantic country, enlivened by a thousand new and interesting ob- jects of contemplation for a cultivated mind, alive to all the beauties of na- ture, they arrived at B ---- ville, where they were welcomed by every kind attention which could be manifested by the inhabitants.
The warmth of love soon degenerat- ed into ungenerous criticisms on each other's personal habits,-general char- acteristics, and such like trifling distinc- tions, till sport carried arrows in its quiver, and tears followed rebukes.
Jealousy, when it exercises a full and unrestrained control over the hu- man heart, blasts the fairest prospects ; rouses passions black ; murderous
crimes ; unnerves the soul, and, with revengeful arm, strikes a poniard to the vitals of the object of its love and wrath.
From a variety of incidents, Mrs. Austerlitz suspected the affections of her husband were transferred to a Miss Saville, who had felt her heart greatly interested in the welfare of Mr. Aus- terlitz, some time previous to his mar- riage. To suspect or distrust the vir- tues of a friend, as nearly related as a husband or a wife, is the preparatory step to hatred, and all those diabolical acts which have disgraced the name of man.
Being retained as counsel in a case of much pecuniary importance, in which Miss Saville, as one of the claim- ants, necessarily called repeatedly to make certain statements in relation to the cause in question, the lady of Mr. A. fancied the darkest designs against her happiness, and in those paroxysms of warring passions, when furies seem- ed to light before her vision, accused her husband of wicked thoughts and deeds, more numerous than he had ever heard.
No arguments could lull her to re- pose : she was jealous of her rights ;-- her dignity was suffering in her own distempered imagination, and all her furious words were hurled towards him who loved her as he loved his own existence.
Poor Austerlitz, -- for he began to be poor in spirit, tried to stiffe the rising storm within .- Josephine would weep in her husband's absence-but in his presence, maintained what she believed a noble pride, that would not stoop to gratify a squeamish partner.
He was sick of life-the demon of insanity possessed his intellect and crazed his brain : he died ; - he died a suicide.
She discovered, much too late, the error of her conduct ; the veil of death was drawn forever, and took from her distracted view, the only be- ing she had ever loved. The beauti- ful Josephine became a maniac, and died upon her injured husband's grave.

AND CITY RECORD, MARCH 25, 1826.
The celebrated Picture of the " Din- ner Party," painted by Col. Sargent of this city, is exhibiting in Montreal.
The Oration of ISAAC GOODWIN, Esq. delivered at Lancaster, Feb. 21, 18 6, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the destruction of that town by the Indians, has been pub- lished in the Worcester Magazine and Historical Journal.
Congress at Panama .-- The Senate have confirmed the nominations of Richard C. Anderson, of Kentucky, and John Sargeant, of Pennsylvania, as Commissioners on the part of the U. States, to attend the deliberations of the Congress of the South-American Republics, at the Isthmus of Panama. William B. Rochester, of New York, is appointed Secretary to the Mission.
Mr. B. Louvet, nephew to the cel- ebrated Louvet, who, with Condorcet, Brisso+ and Vergniaud, were proscrib- ed, in France, May 31, 1794, is edit- ing a weekly paper in New York, called Le Reveil.
This is a good season for mechanics to , visit Boston, from the Country. Steady, capable men, of almost any trade, will find ready and steady em- ployment. Great preparations for building are already discoverable in every section of the city.
It has always been understood by the citizens of the "Cradle of Liberty," that however humble any citizen may be in the community, he has a right to a hearing before he is condemned and executed.
We, the Members of Engine No. 16, having taken into consideration the ordinance passed by the Mayor and Aldermen on the 20th March, hold said ordinance unconstitutional, ac- cording to our bill of rights, and that we still hold Daniel Adams to be our lawful Captain, and shall obey him ac- cordingly, until he shall be discharged from said Engine according to the statutes of the Commonwealth in such cases made and provided.
Per order of the Company,
Attest -- AARON BREED, Clerk.
Since our last, we have examined the Gallery of Cuttings. This is an expensive establishment indeed, and merits more attention than we had conceived. Mr. Smith, the proprietor, is a man of fine taste, and has given such arrangement to his collection, as gives an air of elegance to every ob- ject of exhibition. To take a piece of paper and with a simple pair of scis- sors, make it a beatiful and correct picture, is surprising indeed. We in- tend recording some historical facts, relating to this art as it now appears, when the exhibition closes.
Clara Wendel, chief of a band of robbers in Switzerland, only twenty years of age, a great beauty-posses- sing the highest literary accomplish- ments, has been the cause of twenty assassinations, fourteen burglaries, and fifteen hundred and eighty-eight rob- beries .- She is still going on in her un- heard of iniquities -- bidding defiance to all authority. Her face never fails of enlisting a soldier in her cause, This is being revenged on mankind by the job, for disappointment in lovc.
Charlotte Curtis, of Ohio, has re- covered $500 damages for slander, against Peter Van Sickle. Poor Pe- ter feels a little cut up in his sour krout.
The Boston Circus, Washington Garden, is to be opened, for riding, and scenic representation, in a short time.
