Want of time and space prevents us from giving an cxtcudid notice. JVIoro on the Subject. Since our last Lssuo we have learned more of that abominable wretch of whom we spoke in bucIi gloicfaj terms.

Of course, the people already know what his career has been since his appearance here as a resident, and some few may. probably know of his conduct with a French girl who once worked in his house, and the hellish end ho endeavored to accomplish. But what we now have to say is in regard to tho case and subject now ''supplying the town with gossip. As soon as the wife of this gray-haired villian had left town, he set himself to work to accomplibh his damnablo purpose1, in a rather cautious manner, first trying to gain the girls' confidence, and then telling her that' ho had studied for a physician, and knew how to avoid such and such things without the least danger or difficulty, that he could, in the most extreme cases, bring about tho desired end without in the lenst impairing the health, Oh! thiuk of it How it would sound, such morality as he possesses would be sufficient to corrupt the dcyil And then the idea of his being a factor! What absurdity. And then ho has brass enough in his countenance, after once leaving, to show that contempts-bio face here again, as defyingly as ever.

But we trust his eommings may hereafter bo few, and his visits uliorfcr. for his preseuce is neither wanted nor coveted. As for the girl, we sincerely hope that she will now understand her position in life, and that she may know that she has taken a mighty responsibility upon herself when she sets out to battle her own way through this cold world ulone. How many," many arc there who have set out in a like manner, and scorning all law of honor and right, have commenced at the topmost round of the ladder of prudence and integrity, aud havo slowly but surely descended, step by step, till they have reached the darkest pit of inde cency and crime, and at last they have found themselves in 4 Lunatic Asylum, the House of Correction, or a State Prison, there to suffer and repent for the crimes committed by them, and who can look back to the place of be- ginning anu iiiiiik 01 inu uri owp, from which tinio they still continue on their corrupt path till they were at last shut up in some prison hole, out from the world, and scoffed at by all society. But wo trust this young girl is not so far lost to honor that she will fol low in the wake of those described, but that she will heed the advice of her many friends, and profit thereby, as she has every chaucc a girl could have, a good home aud kind parents, tho best of friends, aud can go in 'the first circles of society.
