Almost everybody is aware of the fallacy of trusting to outward appearances. Looks are deceitful, as all of us are ap’ to find, sooner or later, by bitter experience. The Boston Com- mercial Bulletin recollects an incident which illustrates the folly of trusting to appearances, and which, it says, will be remembered by many who are well scquainted with one of the parti & certain weulthy eattle broker cf Vraminghain, Mass. Here is the story : It chanced that the broker—who is univer- salty known by the cognomen ef Uncle ’Vanus was sitting in the hutel cflice in Framingham with a friend, playing a game of checkers, when a fashionably dressed young man stepped » to the bar, calied for a cigsr, and, having ed it, suid, with &o air of arrogance to the keeper, ‘You will have to trust me for this cigur, ag I have no change; uniess,” he added, somewhat bombustically, “some of you here en change a five hundred dollar bill.” _ Tae Froripa Lecistatcre.—This body con- tinues to act in great harmony, and dispatches business with unusual celerity. Most of the legislation, since our last, hus been of a local character. We notice that the free negro bill has passed the Senate with but two dissenting voices; «nd from intelligence received we hare no doubt but that it will paes the House. We truly regret to notice an amendment to this bill which, we think, shears it of its moral strength, and places its advocates in a false attitude, viz: the amendment providing that one third of the valuation price to be paid for the free negro going into slavery shall be paid to the benefit of the poor school fund. The bill as it origin- ally stood was far preferable. By this amendment the people of Florida are made liable to the imputation by the enemies of the South, that we are, through our poverty from the institution, compelled to enslave freo negroes to raise the funds to educate white Well”? polis : children. We would have preferred to see a ell,” said unele *Vanus, slowly looking | il) pass without coupling any pecuniary con- p from his checker-board, -‘perhaps I can | sideration whatever to the contract, but allow- change a bill for the young man if he wants to ing the free negro to choose his master, upon pay tog his the terms that slaves are held, viz: for and in * ¥ou consideration of the care and support, in health, sickness, and old age, and the full protection, under all circumstances, from the master; or, in default of thus choosing a master, to leave the State. Then the institution would have heen put upon the right ground; upon Bible and Chris- tian ground, where no Southern man need fear to place it. The Governor sent a message to the Legisla- ture on the loth inst., informing them that abolition and incendiary documents were being circulated in the State, and that ‘-Helper’s Impending Crisis” had been directed to hi In the House a bill has been introduced pro- viding for “preventing the circulation of books, newspapers, pamphlets, &c., tending to incite the slaves to revolt, or which advocates such doctrines, through the United States mail, and for other purposes.”’ The punishment is inadequate to the offence; hanging should be the penalty.—Jacksonville Standard, Dee. 22. Poisoxtxe No Crive.—A curious blot in the criminal Jaw, to which we pointed attention some months since, has again been hit by a country coacbman. This man, Thos. Spownge, has, for some reason not explained, indulged in the amiable eccentricity of wilfully adminis- tering large and injurious doses of cantharides, a vegetable irritant poison, to a number of the inmates of Staffynwood Hall, near Chesterfield. Symptoms of irritant poisoning followed—vom- iting, gastrodynia, dysentery, &c. Surely, these are palpable inconveniences, not to sey said the young man, somewhat rneeringly. as he glanced at the plainiy- tiressed old man, and then, with a wink to the bystanders to eall attention to the capi he was about to perro’ he cont You change it! ce you sre so ki perhaps you will change me a couple of them,” -#id be. slapping down two notes of five hundred each upon the table, with considerable emphasis. “Don't joggle the checker-board,” said Tncle 'Vanus slowly, as he r tour pieces that had been josiled from their squares by the young man’s emphatic actic tuen drawing a huge roll from the pocket hi well-worn pantaloons, he carefully counted out, in notes of all sizes, colors and denominse tions, the required amount, handed them over to the Young man and pocketed the two clean Boston bank notes of five hundred dollars each, that lay before him, saying, «Pr haps you would like two more of them changed !” The young man, with an air of bravado, thinking he had stumblcd on some drover who happened to have only 21.000 in his pocket, crammed the heap of bills the old gentleman passed to him into one pocket, and drew forth *wo other $500 notes from another, with a glance of triumph to the bystanders, who be- san to gather around. and hanging them down upon the table stid, “ Prehaps I do; won't you change them, old buster ’”’ ~ Den't joggle the checkers,”’ said the old mn, as the draughts danced again upon their quares, and plunging his hand into his other pentuloons pocket he fished up another appa- rently promiscuous heap of bank notes, which he smoothed o1t, and rappidly counted the re- injuries.

He was the Jack Sheppard among thieves. When Beaumont accomplished the immortsl- izing feat (among his brethren) he had just ro- turned from the Bagne (the gallery) at Brest It took place in the days of the celebrated Vi- deeq ite actually rubbed the strong bux at the nead police office, and this box contained not only bank notes, bat all the jewelry which is found, or in any way comes iato the hands of the police. After his return from the galleys Le frequently caticd upon M. Henry, the prin- cipal officer of the second division of police: and these visits were made under pretence of making certain revolatiors, or giving useful vaformation, in the hope of becoming at:uched to the police himself. Henry's office was nex: to the cashier's office. In gving and coming Beamont had keys made to fitthem. This was doubtless a grevt point gsined. but it was not all; it was neces- sary to watch a moment when the cashier was ont, not at home, or having left his office, and when M. Henry, who never scarcely was ai - sent, should be away. Everything turns we 1 for thoss who choose to wait patiently. Beau mont found the long-watched-for opportunity, and as he never did anything hastily, he did all at his ease this time. and as cleverly He put of a binck coat belonging ry. adress then little worn, except high office; he walked down stairs and went tothe nearest guard-aouse, asked for the officer. who took him for some high official, and two soldiers were sent with him, without the least difficulty Beaumont gravely placed them. one at erch end of the corridor, with strict orders to let no one pxss until further direct It was very daring, but equally sure.

Goodhue came into the third police station this morning, about 2 o'clock, and stated that he had come to give himself up. ashe had just killed a woman. He stated that he was in the house of ill-fame at No. 39 Spring street, kept by a woman under the as- sumed name of Harriet Goodnow, but whose right name is Mrs. Harriot J. W. Freeborn. He went into the kitehen, which is inthe base- ment of the house, between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning. and found the woman (Larriet Goodnow, alias Freeborn.) esting a piece of chicken at the closet door. He asked her for some money. She had acase knife in her hand, and, as he states, rushed at him for the purpose of striking him with it. Heseized her by the throat, threw ner down, and choked her until she wae dead. Ie did not know that she was dead at first, and thought she would re cover, but when he found that he had murdered her, he went to the polise station and gave himself up. Goodhue has been committed to the Tombs, and a complaint will be entered in the police court this afternoon. He will be committed to jail to await the verdict of the coroner's jury. The woman who was murdered has kept thia house of ili-fame about five years, and has been three years at 29 Spring street. She took up this_ business soon after the death of her aban by whom she had a son, who is now 13 years old. Her maiden name was Hayes. She was born in Tamworth, N. H. Her father wasa school teacher; her mother now lives in Dover. Goodhue is about 35 years of age, and states that his folks are all respecta- bie. He expected to take the consequences of his set, but wants it understood that he did not go to the honse with the expectation of having trouble. He has asked her for money several times before, and threatened her when she did not give itto him. —Boston Courter, Dec. 27.
