Tna Way Speaker Pbnjukoton Enter tains ins Friknijs.?As an evidence that Speaker Pennington is up to the times in doing the elegant part to pave his way to the White House, he has taken a fine mansion in Fifteenth street, and holds his levees with as much pomp and ceremony as characterize those given by the President. This evening he gave a dinner, at which were present Senators Crittenden and Fen Eyck; repre sen*atives Nelson, of Tennessee: Gilmer, of North Carolina; Adatns, of Massachusetts; llaskin and Carter, of New York: Morehead and Scrnnton, of Pennsylvania, and Dunn r\f Tn^isnn [ Washington Cor. N. Y. Herald. M Set Down One and Caret Two."?A goo<l slory is told of the towns of Lisbon &nd Lyman, New Hampshire, at the Isle election. Lisbon is a Republican town, and Lyman has been Democratic. The Democratic leaders in the latter town thought they could spare twg or three voters, so as to carry Lisbon for Iho* Democrats, and they accordingly moved 6ome two or three just long enough before the election to entitle them to vote. The result was that Lyman elected a Republican representative, and Lisbon two, much to the dismay of the astute managers, who hnd thus overreached them selves.

March 22, 1860. Court Week. Our Court adjourned on Saturday afternoon last. Rut one case on the Issue Doeket, of any Importance, was tried, vis: Chapman cs. Coolky for trespnea, which he* been at last decided in favor of Coolky. Tha trial of tha caa? occupied three whole day*. It will be remembered, that this cue waa heard once before, but reeulted, after consuming three days, in a mis-trial?the jury being unable to agree upon a verdict. It is estimated that the coatain tliia case has amounted to about five thousand dollars. We learn that the plaintiff has appealed for another trial.? Messrs. Sullivan, Stokes and Henderson appeared for the plnintiff, and Messrs. Pkkby and On* for the defendant. The following are the most important sentences: Geo. J. Oberlk, indicted for assault and bat tery with intent to kill, six month's imprisonment and fine of fifty dollars. IIarrold Wtllts, for eireulating inflammatory publications and writings, one yenr'# imprisonment. There were other cases of minor importance, which were duly disposed of by His Honor Judge WuiTNsa, but which wa do not deem of sufficient importance to mention. One of the most important events of Court Week, was the burning of several copies of Helper's Book, a key to Uncle Tom's Cabin and other abolition work*, which wtr< found in the possession of IlAkBOLR WtuTi. The burning took place in front of the Court iiouse, on Thursday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, in the presence of a large crowd of persons. The pyre, on which the books were placed, was made up of contributions by citizens of Greenville, Pickens, Anderson, Spurtunburg and Lnurens Districts, and the whole was lighted up by a colored citizen of Greenville, who begged the pleasure which such a task would afford. Considerable feeling was manifested, but as no Abolitonist or Black Hepublican was on the ground, "that any one knew of," the occasion passed away without any remarkable demonstration. One peculiar feature, which was noticed at the time, was, that iub oouui widu men mowing. a rove the imoke and ciudera that went up from the flame*, in a most direct Northerly course, in which course we hope they are still going. It ia well for Ublrxn or Gkkklt, or any other foul-mouthed abolitionist, that he was not present at the time, for if he had been, he would have received enough information on the subject of slavery to have lasted him his life time. An extra.term of the Court for this District, has been ordered by Judge WiiiTXxa, to commence on Tuesday, 17th July next, to continue for two weeks, if so much time be necesaa ryjto finish the business now appearing on the dockets. The Greenville Merchants. By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that most of the merchants and business men of our town arc alive to ;heir interests and active in their efforts to do a good Spring trade. They have laid in handsome atocks, and aak their old customers, and friends generally, to give them a call, inspect their goods and ascertain prices. This request we are sure will not go unheeded by purchasers. We bespeak for them all a liberal patronage. We would call particular attention to the advertisements of Messrs. Bkattik A l'ui! us, W.

The circumstances and cause of his arrest have been related to us as follows: "Barry, alia* Jordan, alias Martin, saw the negro boy on Thursday, and prevailed on him, by certain promises mads to him, to consent tw meet him at a certain place, with a horse, that night. The negro disclosed the fact to Mr. Gaston, who, with several other persons, coneealed themselves at the place of meeting; at a signal from the negro, upon his arrival, Barry appeared, and Mr. Gnston ami his friends also made their appearance, secured him, brought him to this place on the next day, and had him safely lodged in jail for trial at the approaching term of our Court.?Spartanburg Express.

It haa twenty-five inches of solid metal at the breech, tun king its extreme length fourteen and a half feet. At the breech, the outside dhiraeter is fourteen feet; at the niuzxle, twenty-eight and nine-tenths inches. It will project a ball of four hundred and twenty-one |>otuid*, a distance of live or six miles, with a tolerable accurate range of four miles.

Sxakk Killixc.?Another exhibition of tbe skill of the mongoose in killing snakes took plare in tbe Melbourne Hippodrome, on the 24th December. Tbe snakes were all large, in full vigor and most tenacious of life. Tbe instinct of the mongoose was displayed immediately upon being placed in view of tboir quarry. Without a moment's hesitation they each utnde for their respective snake's bead, fastened at once, and spito of all the writhing* and convulsions of the reptiles, maintained their grip untii they bad annihilated tbe power of using the poison fangs. Rotue unbeliever* amongst the spectators ventured to impugu tbe venomous properties of the snakes, which were then and there removed, examined before witnesses and found not wanting. One gentleman took a handful of them home with bint, but whether for culinary or scientific purposes is not stated. The relentless hatred borne by tbe mongoose to the snake was admirably exemplified when the dead reptiles were removed. Both tbe incbneuinons followed the man who took them away, and sat up with nose erect and ears pricked, for some time, in expectancy of another feast. Neither of the little creature* was tbe least hart, although between them six or eight venomous snakes were destroyed.?Australian Mail.
