House-Thief Sent to the Penitentiary.

I ted in our county jail for some time past
for horse-stealing, was brought before Judge

Cosmopolitan Art Association.—We are
in receipt of the nth number of volume III, of
the “Cosmopolitan Art Journal,” a magnificent
Quarterly Magazine, which we freely recom
mend tothe consideration of all who are fond
of literature and the arts. The number before
us contains an excellent engraving of a mother
with an infant upon her lap, representing her
as counting his toes and exclaiming, ‘‘This
little pig went to market, &.C.,” which is
alone worth half the price of subscription.
The “Cosmopolitan Art Association” was
founded in June 1854, and chartered in 1853.
and is now, as 1* ever has been, in a prosper
ous condition. The subscription price is $3,
which entitles the subscriber to the Art Jour
nal quarterly, and to an engraving worth four
times the amount. Address C. L. Derby, Ac
tuary C. A. A., 516 and 548, Broadway New

of Des Arc and vicinity as clever, honorable
gentlemen—a valuable acquisition to any com
munity. To the travelling public we would
say en passent, put up with the Welch’s.
They’ll treat you well.—[La Grange Monitor.

ern Pocahontas, who interposed her life
between that of Thompson, one of Brown’s

him into the hotel. It will be remember
ed that the young lady sat in Thompson’s

shielded him whenever the men brought
their guns to bear; she said to them —
“For God’s sake wait, and let the law
take its course.” The writer enclosed
five dollars to begin the subscription with.

asserted the right of the South to the pro
tection of her property in the territories.

NEWS ITEMS, &c.

dred others drew long breaths.”

_ vAE_ _J : O Ik.___AV... inlrnnim
arc realized so far as the preservation of bo
dies is concerned, they will immediately come
into general use.
- Commenting upon the uprising at
Harper’s Ferry, the Times and other London
journals indulge in profound reflections on the
general question of Slavery, and anticipate
other insurrections. The Times, from the late
occurrence, takes occasion to deduce the
moral, that while such sources of internal
danger exist, it is unwise to the last degree for
the American Government to hazard the
chances of a foreign war. Were it more in
timately acquainted with American character,
the Times might have reason to suspect that
nothing so surely as a foreign war would ex
tinguish Slavery agitation.
African Ttade of Boston.—The Boston
Traveller, speaking of the African trade of
that port, states that it is rapidly increasing,
and that the imports from the West Coast of
Africa and from that Cape Town, have been

longing in Boston.

ington, Kentucky, is completed and ready for
