We visited itlately, and were surprised, by the evidences of neglect every observable. The fences falling to decay, mazy of the tombs are cwmbling and briars apd thorns cover most of the gropnd allotted to the last repose of the dead. This should not be.

The grounds of the Cemetery are picture ely situated and might, with the trifling expensef ftur or five hundred dollars be rendered biastiful. If it were enclosed with a pailing fence, the brambles cut away, and walks laid out among the native forest trees, w1h allorn it, it would not only be a lovely place for the dead, but a pleasant diving. Rural Cemeteries, when properly-kept, pposess a peculiar charm, which is noknowa to the crowded grave yards belonging to cities.

the muwi wok Th. lt dc The negro Isif herey i in -Tom III134 WA" THE POLICE JURY. We understand, tomn a reliable source, that an effort will be made during the'present session of our State Legislature, to remodel our Parish Government. 1t is to abolish entirely the existing Police system, and substitute in its plaice a board of tfComnmissioners. to be chosen every two years, by five Wards.

We believe a great majority of the people of our Parish are in favor of this change. We venture to say that very few of the tax payers know at what an enormous expense their business is transacted. At present we have nineteen members in our Police Jury, each receiving $3 50 cts. per day, (why not make it eight during their sitting, and ten cents mileage, going to and returning from our County Seat, notwithstanding a State Law, passed in 1818 (Page 72, of acts of Legislature) and which has never beenamended or appealed, fixes their compensation at two dollars per day. The pay of members fobr the stated meetings of each year.

amounts to at least nineteen hundred dollars, and we can add to this, the extra expenses of at least one, and perhaps two called meetings. We must moreover take into consideration the Hydra-like facility with which new wards are created, new members appointed and increasedexpensesincurred. Ca ve intelligent men, chosen from amongst us, i ctive of party, transact the business of the Perish more speedily, more capably and more to our interest in a pecuniary point of view than it is now done by nineteen representatives? It cannot be worse, and if there is a bare possibllity of bettering our present system, at least let the trial be made. IMPoRTANT Louisville Courrier gives the following statement of a recent decision of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky 1. A female slave was taken from this State to renusylvania, by her mistress, an ivalid, for a period, to wait upon her there while she should receive medical treatment.

2. The law of Pensylvania was that any slave s.grought within her jurisdiction, should remain the property of the person whose slave she was, for the period of six months, but become free if remaining longer thanthat time within the limits of the State, with the consent of the master or mistress. 3. In the case before the court, the mistress was fully advised of the nature of the law and its exact provisions, before taking her slave to Pennsylvania, yet she determined to take her, and kept her there longer than the petiod of six months, well fnderstanding the full effect of such detention. 4.

When she returned to Kentucky her slave came with her voluntarily, and continued in her service, both mutually wishing the old relation to remain undisturbed. 5. Subsequently, the mistress borrowed of a relative, and secured the loan by executing a bill of sale, intending, however, that the article should onlyhave the force ofa mortgage to secure the paymentof the sum borrowed. 6. The mistress.died-the money borrowed was not repaid-the slave was claimed and held by the relative who loaned it-and she brought suit for her freedom, resting on the law of Pennsylvania, (statutes of 1780.) The Judge held, that although this Court had not decided what shall be the effect or operation in Kentucky, of the law of a free State, which declares that a slave who is voluntarily sent or carried within its jurisdiction by the owner, and detained there beyond a certain specified time, shall be free, (that question being expressly left open.) -yet that under the- peculiar circumstances of a state of a case like the present; the condition of the slave in the free State, (Pennsylvania,) after remaining in that State longer than the specified time, (six months,) should follow her to Kentucky, and be her condition here.

"Under the circumstances, she was free there, and should be free here." "THE CHIEF this head, the Natchitoches Chronide, refers to the two candidates for the exalted station of Chief Justice, in the following handsome and appropriate terms: "The office of Chief Justice of the State will be between Judge Thomas Slidell and Hon. Christian Roselius, who are both authoritively annonced aseandidates. Let which will succeed, we shall, be certain to have a Chief Juitice worthy of the office. As a memberofthe present'Supreme Court, Judge Slidell has acquired a very enviable reputation for the learning, equ.ty and genius displayed in his written opinions. His bland and pouteous manners, too, upon the bench, have rendered him a favorite with the bat generally.

lawyer and advocate, no man'in the State stands higher than Mr. Roselius. The artificer of his own fortune and fame, having risen from poverty and obscurity by the effortsof his oyn will; he hat by untiring industry and a stern morality elevated himself to the head of a most learned bar, and by the miabilt and kindness of his manners made gly popular with people of all classes. We ceoufsolves the partisan of neitIher, wedl that whether Judge Slidell or IMr. succeed, law and justice will be neaured ent with firm and equal hand." gW The marriage of Louis Napoleon with an inferior i rank, has caused the newspapers to look into historyfor precedents.

The Lancaster Express, from which we derive our facts, states the rapid consumption of cockroaches used to give the nuttyand peculiarly piquant flavor to wine, had made it difficult to find a sufficient supply. In this dilemma the wine maker conceived the happy idea that bedbugs might be used as a substitute. He tried the experiment, and the result was far more satisfactory than he had anticipated. It was found that a quart of bedbugs contained asmuch of the flavoring principle as three pints or more of the roaches-and that the former have but little of that narcotic or sleep producing effect which is attributed to the latter. Contracts have been made with some of the fashionable boarding-house keepers in Philadelphia and New York for an ample supply of this new article of traffic.

It is thought the boarders will be somewhat pleased with ihis intelligence. LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE circumstances accompanying the decoration of the Grand Rabbi, Mons. Marx, of Bordeaux, with the legion of honor, makes that occurrence a matter of general importance. lie had received an invitation to breakfast, and after breakfast the Prince President (now Emperor) handed the Grand Rabbi the Order of the Legion of Honor, in the presence of his cortege, the municipal officers, etc. In expressing his thanks for the distinction conferred upon him, the Grand Rabbi added, "this is again a confirmation of the principle of religious liberty, which your Highness has already promised us to maintain and You may rely on that," answered the Prince General d'Hautpoul, Grind Referendar of the Senate, who emphatically announced that the rights and liberties of the Jews shall never be infringed.

All the inhabitants of Bordeaux sympathised with the Grand Rabbi, and even the Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux paid a congratulary visit to Mons Marx. WOMANs few women have ever been in love, How few even marry from affection! They marry because they are asked, and because marriage is suitable. It is their vocation to be married; parents approve, and they have no other attachment. Any ob. servant person living in society, where there is a continual marrying and giving in marriage, must be struck with this fact.

I have often fancied that there must be a man born in the world for every woman; one whom to see would be to love, to reverence, to adore; one with whom her sympathies would so entirely blend, that she would recognize him at once as her true lord. Now and then these pairs come together, and wo to her who meets this other self too late. Woman would be more humble and more merciful, if they did not measure the temptation of others, by their own Crowe. An u.maw~nT East Greenwich, R. I.

The Providence Journal says the people are not extensively engaged in any mechanical pursuit requiring any great amount ot alchohol, and the inference is that nearly all the liquor sold must have been for medicine-the law prohibiting its sale as a beverage.

The city was tranquil under the operation of Martial law. BUNEos York March advices from Buenos Ayres state that the revolution there was triumphant. Two GREAT a breakfast in Washington City the following interesting anecdote was recently related: Irving said that he remembered Gen. Washington perfectly. He said there was some celebration-some public affair going on in New York, and the General was there to participate in the ceremony.

"My nurse," said Mr. a good old Scotch woman, was very anxious for me to see him, and held me up in her arms as he rode past, This, however, did not satisfy her; so the next day, when walking with me in Broadway, she espied him in a shop; she seized my hand and darting in, exclaimed in her bland your Excellency here's a bairn that's called after General Washington then turned his benevolent face full upon me, smiled, laid his hand upon my head and gave me his blessing which," added Mr. Irving, earnestly, "I have reason to believe has attended me through life. I was but five years old, yet I can feel that hand upon my head even now." SINGULAR HISTOrICAL Walter Raleigh was the first discoverer of the value of the potato as food for man. One day he ordered a lot of dry weeds to be collected and burnt.

Among these was a lot of dried potatoes. After the bonfire, these potatoes were picked up thoroughly roasted. Sir Walter tasted and pronounced them delicious. By this accident was discovered a species of food which has saved millions of the human race from starvation. The Bible on which General Washington was sworn into office, is now in the possession of St.

John's Lodge of Masons, in New-York, and it is said is to be taken on to Washington to be used at the inauguration of Gen. Pierce.
