Potatoe. An Irish potatoe was raised the past season on the farm of Dele Elder, e.q. of this county, which measured 13 inches in length and 6 inches through I he middle. Can you beat-it, brother Jonathan?

bad heard of his possessing this singular talent, for the purpose of exercising it, the following question was submitted to him for solution: If I give away 2 3-4 and 1-5 of a bushel, what will I have left of 2 bushels from which I made the distribution? After a few moments he answered correctly, 43 60ihs of a bushel. An arithmaticia i who was present when the question was submitted, undertook fosolve it by the useoffigures which he ff-cted, but not until after the answer had been given by the boy. For the purpose of hearing him converse, which he does with considerable readiness for so young a boy, he was then asked If a pair of boots cost six dollars, what will a hat cost? He answered different prices, and in his turn, submitted to the gentlemen with whom he was speaking, the following: If a bushel of coal cost 61 cents, what will a cord of wood come to? The gentleman answered I don't know. It will come to ashes, said the boy. The following was then proc""lJd to him; ) If 7- lOths of a ycfTdgpf cassimevcost 2 25, what will one yard and a quarter

cost?

He answered with his usual precision,

!$4 2 cts. and 12 23ths of a cent.

Gone again. The Charlestown Ind. Advocate states that five convicts made their escape from the state's prison on the 28th ult.; two were retaken and the others are still at large. We learn that the absentees are the very same fellows sent from this county a few weeks since,

viz: Smith, Couch and Myers, three of

the greatest rogues (as Couch said himself) to be found in the United States. Myers, it is said, has been6een at or about home, armed with a dirk and pistol which he took from the prison. In effecting their escape, one of the company fired a pistol at K igwin,the keeper, and wounded him slightly in the hand and arm. The public are called on to keep a good look-out for these villain?, and be visitant in aiding to retake them. A re

ward will no doubt be offered for their apprehension. Elections The elections now over, inquiry is on foot to learn the result. As yet we have few returns for president from our own state, Kentucky, or Ohio, sufficiently authentic to warrant their publication. Reports from Switzerland,

Decatur, Franklin and Fayette counties,

in this state, give, in each, small majori

tics to the Jackson ticket. We have not

heard from Wayne, and the other coun

ties in this district. The returns as pub

lished, give the Jackson ticket in Hamilton county, Olio, 2303 votes majority being 743 greater than Campbell's over Trimble, at the late state election. In Boon county, Ky. at the close of the polls on Wednesday evening, the Jackson

ticket had 43 majority, and partial re. turns from a number of other counties, show a like increase on the votes given Mr. Barry in that state for governor. We shall probably be able to say, next week, who is elected.

Movements of the Dead. A correspon

dent in tne JJcith Ht raid states the lollowing singular ircumstance: "Having occasion last week to in. pert a grave in one of the parishes of this city, iii which two or three membeia ol a family had been buried some yeai since; and which lay in eiy wet ground,

I observed that the upper part ot tne cottin was rotted away and had left the head and bo;;e? of the fku!l txposed U view. On inquiring of the grave digger how it came U pass that I did not observe the usual sockets of the ees in the skull, he replied, that what I saw wa? (he hind part of the head (termed occupit, I believe by anatomists,) that the face was turned as csual to the earth! Not exactly understanding his phrase, ,4as usual," I inquired if the body had been buried with the fate upwards, as in the ordinary way; to which he replied to my astonishment, in the itfilrmative, adding that in the course of decomposi

tion, the tare ot every individual turns to

lous proceedings are called law and juslice. Who made the difficulty ? The plaintiff; and she in fact,& in truth, committed the breach: for the defendant offered to marry her in the only way they

could legally be married. And yet he was mulcted in damages. N. Y. pap.

It would appear from the following article which we copy from the Washington, ) C. Chronicle, that a second Zera Colburn has sprung up in that city: Singular Mental Endowment. A lad in our city, (Edward Ord, son of James Ord,) now in the tenth year of his age, possesses the uncommon faculty of making calculations and answering difficult arithmatieal questions with the operations of his mind, without the aid of figures. He has been repeatedly examined, by different persons, and has uniformly excited the admiration and surprise of those who have witnessed the readiness and correctness with which he answers questions that are proposed to him. Oa a recent occasion, happening to be in

company with several gentlemen who

Breach of the Marriage Promise. An excellent case of "breach of promise," is reported in the English papers. The parties were both Catholic?. The lady refused to be married unless the ceremony wnsfrst performed by the Catholic priest. The priest refused to perform the ceremony unless the defendant conformed to the rules of the church; not bring at the time in communion, Sec. The lady refused to be married in a protestant church, where alone the marriage could be legally performed, and the match was in consequence broken off, and in due time the defendant married another. At the expiration of about two years, the injured lady brought her action,and what is most astonishing, recovered a verdict, the court (baron Hullock) commenting upon the absence of any attempt of the defendant to remove tbe difficulty about the Catholic mar-

friajre. I hese nrnnosteroiia and ridicn-
