A IIOKSF. THIEF.
CO A young man calling himself William Dkvcr, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, with
light hair and fair complexion, came to this
place on Monday last, having in his possession a Sorrel hot re, which, from several suspicious citcumstancescot.nected with hit first appear
mcc here, and subsequent conduct, it u gen
erally supposed he li;:d tdclen from some per-
o:i unknown. In pursuance cf a complaint regularly pre
fet ed against him, he was arrested and bro't.
before the writer of this, an acting Justice of
Hie I eace, and after undergoing an cxaminalion was committed to the j lit of this county, for trial at the next Court of Common Fleas. Sometime in the course cf last night he succeeded in making his escape, by burning a hole through the door of the room in which
we was connneu. l lie horse lour.J 1:1 ins possession isstill here, and, if stolen, may be easi
ly identified bv Ins owner.
COOur editorial brethren, with whom we exchange, will please give this a:i insertion
in their respective papers and thereby sub serve the cause of justice. Car.iurin'C, Ohio, Ocl. 1 G, 1 C34.
The New York Time has the following
paragraph in reference to our claims on
FianteT1IE FRKNCII CLAIMS.
In confirmation of the rumor which we
mentioned on Tuesday of our Minister at
Paris desiring to be recalled, we aie now en
abled to state that a Setter ha been received
from one who is ini intimate relations with
.Mr. Livingston's family, afliriniug that lie is
II at ease both in body and mind, annexed
by the procrastination and evasive policy pur
sued by the trench government in relation
to our claims. It states that the minister:
declined bringing the subject before the
Chamber of Deputies at their late session un der the pretext of the shortness cf its dura
lion, and the consequent hazard of defeat. That neither Mr. Livingston nor any of the
Americans there have the slighleit confidence
in the sincerity of the professions of the
Frenchmen, but believe their design to be to gain time by the invention of these and other
frivolous excuses of delay. I he fallacy of the pretence that there would have been danger of the bill being lost is apparent to all who are aware of the very great ministerial Ma
jority in the Chambers; the cabinet can car
ry any measure which they choose to bring forward and their shuttling in regard to out claims, eonceeded and guaranteed by their own ratified treaty, affords clear enough evidence that they purpose to evade payment altogether if they can.

Curious. We learn from the Boston Mercantile Advertiser, that a successful attempt has lately been made by the Abbe Jamcnt,
Director of the Hospital of lion Saureur, in Normandy, to teach a person who has been deaf from his birth, to speak! He lately exhibited his pupil at the Academy of Caen, and fnanv questions were addressed to him by
signs and in writing, all of which he answered verbally without hesitation. The tone of his voice is represented as being very singular,
and produces an unnatural effect. He is a
nephew of Cardinal Caiare, and u eighteea years of ae.
FOR THE MF.SSKNCF.R. Gn. Keen. The statement published in your Ujt paper, under the head of '-incendiary," in which one of our citizens is accused of settieg tire to the house of James Moicei . is without the least foundation in truth and ha? iusllv excited the almost universal indig
nation of the citizens of this neighborhood.
The dwelling in question is an old decayed
log cabin, the chimney of which is nearly two feet below the roof; the night on which the tire accurred w as quite windy, and the spark from the chimney caught in one of the w eight
poles, which was rotlon ard dryc, and dire illy over the chimney instead ol being on the
opposile end of the house as the article alluded to states. A voung man who had heon
out hunting, and who lived in the family of
the accused, first discovered the tire, gave tin.
alarm, and helped extinguished it. I know
not Mr. Fdi tor, from what source jou obtain
ed our ttuoi tnation; mil il appeals 10 me hi m editors of p ipers ought to be careful how they iujurc the reputation and Jer!infr$ of rs p-x-!ah!e families especially befoic they have iheir 'ispi ion well founded. As an act of justii e to an injured citizen and his family, vour are requested to correct the article alluded to. Tuuni.

Rumors. The Mil'edgeville Journal men-
tions a leport, that James M. Wayne, Lsq., of tha House of Representatives, from Geor
gia, would be appointed Associate Justice ol the Suprema Court of the United States, in the place of Judge Johnson, deceased. We understand a passenger from Washing ton, In yestesdaj morning's stage, brings another rumor, viz: that Mr. Forsyth, the Secretary of State, is to be appointed Judge and that Mr. Rives is talked of as Secretary
of State. Rut these r mere rumors; and as newspaper editors are wont to say, 'require confirmation.' The same passenger brings a report, that several frauds have been practiced on the
J Pension Oilice, !'' a citizen of Vermont
that some thousands of dollars have been thus drawn from the Treasury ; and that the
perpetrator nfterwarus offered tocorruptthc
Agent, if he would agiee toueslroy certain
Vouchers, which wcie the evidences of his
guilt.
The Agent withstood hii importunities
and his bribe's, and has been sent on to Ver
mont to identify the person of the cootstcrfeiter. Rut these scenes are not new to us. Several indictments have been made in this tale, at the Federal Court of Claiksburg against four individuals in Lewis count v ; and
among them, against Rennet, the Delegate
elect, and ngain t a magistrate of the county who have decamped from the premises.
ValucMe Properly. A farm on Long Island,
on the .rrorts nine miles Irotn the City of
New York, belonging to the Messrs. Stewarts,
was sold at auction for 49,000 dollars. There
wcie only one hundred acres in the tract. It
was purchased with a view to the budding ci a
new city at that point. The day is not far dis tant, when New York and its environs will rank with London and Paris, in point of population. The City of New York lone contains near 300,000.

Tha Circuit court has been in session in this
place since Monday last, and very little business of interest has been brought before it. The court
will very probably adjourn to morrow evening.
Tha only cases which have excited much inter-
t are the casee of Andrew Lyons on an indict
ment for an assault and battery, and Casander
larrel against Hiram Allen, for a breach of
Mariiage contract. In the former case Lyons
was foon.l guilty and fined 5 dollars, and 15 days imprisonment in the county jail. The latter case
was tried by jury on yesterday evening. 1 he
fatt plaintiff, as a balm for her broken heart,
obtained a verdict niratnt Mr. Allen for OINL
l UOUSANI) DOLLARS. This we are inform
ed , is the first case of the kind which was ever
instituted in the Franklin Circuit Court, and the stamp of discountenance which a jury of the county have put upon this "breach of contract"
will be apt to make "beaux beware how they tamper with the feelings of the heart. ImiIs beware'.!

"ITOOTH-ACIIE. with all its attendant evils;
such as fracturing the jaw in extracting the teeth, which often proves more painful than the toothache itself, and cold passing from the decayed teeth to the jaw, thence to the head, producing a rheumatic aifection, with manv other unpleasant
effects, such as a disagreeable breath, bad taste in the month, &c. all of which are produced from foul or decayed teeth. I am happy to have it i.i
my power to offer to the world, a remedy, that will not only remove the pain, nine times out of ten, if properly applied, but preserve the teeth from further decay, and arrest the disease in such as are
