FOR THE WABASH HERALD. 31 r. Clarke, Understanding that an election is shortly to take place in this County for the purpose of electing an Associate Jadge to fill the vacancy occasioned by the res'gnation of Judge
Nesmith, 1 have takm the liberty ef j
addressing a few lines, through the me
dium of the Herald, to the voters of
the County in regard to his successor. All must be satisfied that it is important to the welfare of litigants, that those who have to administer the law, should, to some extent, be acquainted with it.
Indiana Iegisiature. From the Indiana Journal. Judging from the great quantity of business cow before the Legislature, and which is daily increasing, the present session will in all probaility be as long as any one for some years with the exception of the last, during which a revision of the lawsv took place. In addition to the great amount of ordina ry business, one impeachment, and probably two, will be tried by the Sen
ate, which will necessarily prolong the
sesion several days. One of these tn

Messrs Town and Davis of the city of

close examination of all the plans submitted, (21 in number,) unanimously agreed to adopted the plan submitted by the gentlemen above named; and
there is no doubt that both Houses will
sanction the selection of the committee.

It is not uufrequently the case that the associate Judges, have important business to transact in the absence of the President Judge, arid business too, which requires considerable knowledge of common Law principles; and how can a Judge decide what the common Law is, who has never made it his tudy?

that is under her control. Observe if
the shoe fits neatly it the gloves are clean, and the hair well polished. And I would forgive a man for breaking off an engagement if he discovered a greasy novel hid away under the cushion of a sofa, or a hole in the garniture of the prettiest foot in the world. 81ove!iness will ever be avoided by a well-reg-ula ed mind as would a pestilence. A woman'cannot be always what is called dressed, particularly one in middling or humble life, where her duty, and it is consequently to be hoped her pleasure, lies in superintending and as
sisting in all domestic matters; but she
may be always neat well appointed.
And as certainly as a virtuous woman is a crown of glory to her husband, so
surely is a slovenly one a crown ef
thorns. Mrs. . Hall.
