On reaching hi country once moie, with his heart yearning for homo, and its name les, numberless enjoyments, lie found un equivocal proof of his wife's infidelity. Fn raged almost to madness, he taxed her with her guilt, which she confessed to him en hei knees, yet refused to yield him up the name of her seducer; until moved by the tears and eloquence of her wietched father, she acknowledged him to be Mr. , a rich young planter. To him, the broken hearted parent went, demanding reparation for the loss of his once darling child, and me seoutc. pledged himself, that if a dvorcc could be obtained he would repair the wrong, as fai as lav within his power, by an immediate mar riage. With this slender consolation, the afflicted besought the injured husband to forgo all personal revenge, that he might thus in part remove the stigma which his worthless child had fixed on herself and them. By the aid of eminent counsel, the decree of divorce was speedily procured, and with the document in his possesion, the afflicted father once more sought his child's seducer; but now, he peremptorily refused to ratify his pledge, and finding all entreaties useless, the father left him with this warning; 'y oung man, though y our conduct proves you a villain, I will not without due delibiration, hurry you or myself into the presence of an an offending God : I give you fourteen day s to reflect on what you have done; if then, you slill refuse her satisfaction, you shall accord it to mc' The two weeks passed without producing the dc sired result, and on the following morning, at day light, they met. The old man's eye lailed'him, and the seducer stood unharmed by his fire, while he, with a more deliberate aim, added to the ruin of the daughter, her father s death, by shooting him through the heart. On the following day, the 20th of last month, the lamented old man was buried with military honors, having fought with distinction in the revolutionary war: and since his death, the pUnter hai received n. challenge from the husband, not as he stated to atone for the loss of a worthless woman, but to avenge the fall of an honored father. Four others relative ef the deceased have followed the example, and it is to be feared, that before this time, raore victims kave been added to the catalogue of deaths, resulting from the indulgence of an unhallowed passion. A". Y Traveller. A cold Ttater man a hard drinker A few days since we were made, acquainted with Mr. James Webb, a native of Hanover, Mass. and now a residtnt of North Fairhaven. This is the most remarkable mau with whom we were ever in company. His strange history is fi aught with peculiar interest. Howsoever incredible it may seem to those unacquainted with the fact, of its truth we have had occular demon stration, that Mr. Webb is in the habit of drinking one or livo quarts of told zeaUr at one draught! He averages six gallons per day, drinking at the rate of a quart an hour, both day and night and, not unfrequenlly, a gallon or upwards at a time. This has been his practice ever tince ms rememuiance. ne muuiges in no luxmies ol food eats moderately enioys excellent j health pttends promptly to his business, and lives nappny wun a wile and seven interesting oiV'prinff.

Mie iimii 'titles have been taken, anl o tar h this i -utility is concerned a few aie added every 'la. 1 he writer full) com nts with the o ( if i tin exprei-Sed by the bo nd of directors al the laal meeting, that enough flock has been taken to justify a commencement. Should the work not cost moie than lh estimate, by the committee, whose repit you published in vour paper l ist week, llitre is already stock subscribed sutlu ient In make one half ol the road Irom this place to Indianapolis. s2iO00 per mile is the highest sum estimated i c;u, Ke doie for ,ess it is btlitw i i the opinion of the com millet , Lui, like prudent men, iney cnoose to cover it. Thai Ibis opinion is correct, 's fully verified by the letting which has lately taken place of I and half miles in the neigh borhood of Shelby ville, which was taken nt the fjllowirg prices the 1st quarter of a mile at 279 the 2nd at .'13 the 3d at 257 the 4 111 at .s317 and ihe last at -5-400. The two last quarters have each a small bridge, and the last one extends nearly half way "through the bill at Shelby vile; rei . i i . .i i Uiuiring a cut of live feet deep. J his furuL-h-es every thing except the scantling, the i ion and the gravelling for a horse path. The gravelling, it was supposed, could be done cheaper alter the rails were laid and therefore was not included in the present contract. The scantling is furnished at 132 the mile, so that the 1st mile will be made rea'ly for use for .$'1210, as it can be used, for a time at last, without Iron. Then it is conconsidered best to put the iron in as soon as possible; and supposing thp iron to cost 600 dollars and the path 200 we have the mile finished at 1640. When it is considered that this is but an experiment ; that the people who took the contracts are now to the business, and would therefore require such process as would, without question, justify them and that inconsequence of the want of knowledge in the community there would be little competition in bidding there" cannot remain a question that subsequent lettings will re made at reduced prices and if they were at the above prices it plainly appears that the woru is entirely willun the esliniale made. Jl fricwl of the Rail road. From the A. F. Advertiser. The Hamburg correspondent had the following of 28th ult. from Berlin: We learn from Vienna that a Courier has been dispatched to the Cabinet of the Tuilleries, to convey to the French Govtrnmcnt a declaration; that if tho Canton of Berne should persist in refusing to expel the refugeess, con formably to the orders of the Terort, the Uermanic Confederation w:ll send a numerous division of Federal troops into SwiUer zerland, This declaration, moreover, adds, that the Canton of Berne, has set itself in direct opposition with the other European States, by the reception of the foreign rebels and the favorable treatment of th the national demagogues. Lastly, h hint given to the French Govern ment that an intervention in this affair would be regarded by the Germanic Confederation as a declaration of war. Although Louis i hilippe participates in this view of the ques lion, it appears that his council arc not in ac cord upon it. It is believed here that the King of the French will employ his utmost efforts to bring about the expulsion of the t oles from Switzerland, and the removal of the revolutionists of that country; and if r ranee will receive these prescripts, they will oc sent to America Col Crockett in his Scat. The correspond ent of the Baltimore Patriot, mentions the loiiowing laughable occurrence. Good humour and good feeling seem to keep company wilh Col. Crockett wherever he goes.

Bit now for the seven wonders. 1. The Colossus at llhodi s. This was a s!a- j tue, of the sun, placed across the inoiilh of the harbor, more than ont! hundred feel high. The feet placed on each side of the harbor. The largest ships of that early day, whith their tall mastf, sailed between its legs. It was twelve years in building, and cost an immense sum. An earthquake threw it down after fifty years. Its little linger was fathom in cirrun ferciic e. The brass of ibis statue was carried away by the Turks, and looaded 900 hundred camels. Camels can carry 8 or 900 pounds weight. The Temple of Diana at Kph'sus. This was greatly adir.iied by the ancients. Almost all Asia were employed 220 years in building it. The temple was supported by 127 pillars each 60 feet high; and each by a different king, while every one was determined to make his own excel all others. The Labyrinth of Egypt. This consisted of twelve palaces, all covered with marble. It had hut one entrance, innumerable turnings and winding?, pome over others, so that it was next to impossible for a 6tranger to find his way through it. Portions of the apartments were under ground. The main entrance was

of white marble, ndorned with stately co- gle opportunity of making any communication lumns. A flight of ninety steps conducted to of his existence to his family, who believed him a superb portico, all of the finest polished to be dead. Consequently, on presenting himmarble, and adorned wilh Ihe statues of their self, his father and mother rejected hirn aj an gods. Through this they passed into a lofty imposter, for in addition t9 the changes elected andspaciou3 hall, the palace of their conver- by time and suffering, he had several scars on satson. This labyrinth of Egypt was built by his face, which was still farther distiguied by a Samnicus,and north of A rsinoe. It contain-1 false nose made of metal.

But betterso thnain thejuevastatjons and cruelties of perpetual war?, 4. The Walls of Babulon.-B:hvon was one of the most splendid cities ever seen or built. Its form was an exact square, of 15 miles round. The height of these, according to the historian Plinlv, was 200, others say zouieer. 1 ue common opinion is, mai iney . r . ,m " . ,l. , o.
