A Pueasayt Wome ror Eorrors.—Young men anxious | to distinguish themselves in the editorial line can fiad an open- | jing at Pike’s Peak. We advise them to read the following {from the Deaver correspondeat of the New York Times be- | | fore they start: | On Satarday evening a prominent apsirant for Congress , resented an affrout from the Daily Herald, by spitting in the ' face of one of his editors. Ona Monday, having an occasion

gentlman waiting in his office with a Sharp's rifle and four revo'vers upon the table beside him. Converting his edi- torial room into an arseual proved a healihy precaution, for on the same evening a person named Murphy, a notorious border ruffian during the Kansas troubles, approached the ‘office with hostile intentions, having taken umbrage at an advertisement of a personal nature, and sworn all sorts of | vengeance upon the editor and the premises. Just before | reaching the door, however, Murphy found himself the victim ‘of misplaced confidence, for his entrance was suddenly checked by six shot guns and rifles levelled at his head from ithe windows, This unexpected phenomenon quite abated jhis thirst for satisfaction, and elicited a handsome apology. | Mr. Byers, the senior editor of the News, has published a | journal for the lact eighteen months, aud within that period ihas been challanged, murderously assaulted, had his office ‘set on fire, and repeated threats made against his life, and last night his dwelling house was buroed to the ground.”

An Amraste Parrnersuip, AND AN Egvatty AMIABLE | Dissotvrioy.—A singular fact is related of two citzens of | Southbridge, by the Webster Times, who jointly owned and ‘occupied a farm in that town for sixteen years, but have
lately dissolved partnership. During the whole of this period no accounts of any kind have been kept by either of the ‘parties. Both individuals were men of family, oceupying different portions of the same house ; and when either wished to use cash, he went to the drawer in which it was kept and ‘took it, no accounts being kept in a single instance. Yet in all these sixteen years not a word of fault was spokea, no ill-feeling, jealousy, or suspicion was shows, and perfect harmony subsisted between the parties to the day of their separation. ‘Te fiaal dissolution in business was occasioned by the marriage of a member of one of the families, when it : house might not be able to contain “ the con-
was thought th sequence,’ | quietly left. We believe this to be aa unparalled case of bonesty anal confidence.

During the interval some very important State affairs passed, and the Queen was over in France on a visit to the Emperor. The | promise was al] but forgotten on the one side—that of the Hiigh- | land girl ; not so on the other, for on arriving at Balmoral next season, her Majesty presented the humble lassie with the pro- mised toy, saying, “ See, I have not forgotten you.”
