Probabilities-The barometer North
of Lako Ontario will move Eastward
over the New England States, and brisk
and high North-westerly winds will ex?
tend from the lower lakes to the East
and Middle Atlantic coast. Clear wea?

Middle States, exoept probably elong the
lower-lake region, and extend over New
England by and on Sunday morning.
Easterly to Southerly winds will prevail
over tho'Western and Gulf States, witb
probably threatening weather. Falling
barometer and winds baoking to South?
erly'are probable for the North-west
during the night, nod extend to the
Ohio Valley and over the upper lakes on
Sunday.

As poison that seeks a latent path to
destroy an unsuspecting innocent, and
with the wings of swift mortality strikes
ita fatal blow without waining, so does
the slanderer's venom drip its deadly
upas inter the willing ears of sensation?
alists, who gloat npon a new theme for
their morbid tastes to linger on; but
reaching the thoughtful man, he de?
plores the weakness of the slanderer,
and shudders for the poor wretch who
must be the victim of an unlicensed
tongue. Thus thoso two poisons go
hand-in-hand, dealing their death-blows,
the one taking mortal life, and tho other
stealing the birtb-right of man-his good

There are several advantage? in being
a carpet-bag Senator from a South* rn

that it puts tho party out of rearm of

Butler's illustrious son-in-law, adelbert
Ames, Senator from Mississippi. He
has reported himself a citizen of Adams
County, but no one has ever been able
to ascertain his place of residence. He
pays no taxes, nor bas ever dono so, and
it is impossible to ascertain that ho ever
had a dollar's worth of real estate in
Mississippi. The local journal reports
that all writs sent to the sheriff of Adams
Connty, where th? distinguished states?
man claims his homo, are returned "not
found," and further, that "ho has uo
place of residence at which to leava a
process." An execution against the
estate of the Senator was issued a short
