He can give the number of States and Territo ies, name their capitals, give the number of counties and township* in each, the names of the principal cities in the world, and other feits of m-mory equally surprising.

Batch 1 ler, indicted for fornication, was declared forfeited the other day in the criminal court at Indianapolis.
