 AWFUL END OF A DRUNKARD.-The follow ing history of an occurrence not long since in the State of Alabama, strikingly eXernpli- fies the ruin caused by habits of intemPer- ance.

 John Morfat was born and literally educa- ted in the State of North Carolina. He re- moved to Alabama, commenced the study of law, but discovered a propensity for ardent spirits, which obscured his prospects of suc- cess in that arduous profession Under a promise of sobriety he was admitted to a country store, kept steady and attentive to his business for months, until he was enabled to open grocery on his own account. Here his habits returned and grew upon him with ruinous celerity. For the last two or three weeks of his life he had not sober hour.- Under the maddening influence of intoxica- ton he sold his establishment, and started on horseback for North Carolina. During the first day he travelled sixteen or eighteen miles, was seen by several who knew him, to whom he appeared as being in wild, and confused state. This was the last day he was seen alive.

 The next morning his horse was. found without saddle, and the presumption was that Morfat had been drowned in a creek in that vicinity but in one week from that day a dog came into his masters yard, bringing with him Morfat's right arm and shoulder blade. Search was made, and he was found in the woods, a mile distant, having been de- voured by wild beasts from his waist up- wards. His saddle was on a log, his blanket spread on the ground, appearing as if the poor wretch had lain upon it before he died. His watch and money were in his pantaloons' O<of. lo hon nd Into perance had been his murderer. Alone he had wrestled with its fever and its madness and, in the end, was devoured by dogs Yet his soul died not; that lives for the gnaw- ingS of another monster. His Sufferings are not over yet. We fear remorse, that ever singing serpent, will be his bosom compan- ion forever .

 Ersensipe Bank Robbery-The vaults of the ONEIDA BANK, at Utica, were entered on Sun- day the 2Oth inst. and the sum of one hundred aud eight thousond sta has9lred dollars extract ed therefronl, besides about six thousand dol lars in notes and checks. The money stolen consisted of notes on the Bank of Rome, AL bany and New York, and the other Safety Fund Banks in this State, with about $6,OOO on Banks in the Eastern States. In order to effect the robbery, six locks had to be unbol- ted, five of which were effected by keys and the other broken open. +- %4aa 2'>'-- ~

 A French writer says tIat s the modest de- pertinent of those who are truly wise, when contrasted with the assuming air of the igno- rant, may be compared to the different ap- pearances of wheat, which, while its ear is empty, holds up it's head proudly, but as soon as it is filled with grain, bends modestly down, and withdraws from observation. .r-

 Original anecdote of Ethan AHen.-An old gentleman of Vermont has told us an anec- dote eff Ethan Allen, the revolutionary hero, which we have never seen in print, but which is nevertheless historically true. About for ty years since, Allen was sued for a note of about one hundred pounds. As it was not convenient for bim to pay it, he employed Chittendcp, the lawyer, to manage the case m Court, and get t put over to the next term When tbe case came on, Chittendcn accord ingly appeared, and us the note was signed by q witness, who lived at distance, he got up and As@aeA ike signature, knowing that the witness could Hot bc produced during the ses- sl0t, and he sal0tild thus obtain the delay his cliebt wished. The denial of the signature therefore was q mere fnesse, and perfectly understood by the Court; but Allen chanced t0 bG in the Court at the time, and he viewed the matter in moro serious light. Rushing up 10 the bar of the Court, and clenching his gigantic fists, he made the following address Lawyer Chittcnden did not employ you to come here and tell q barefaced lie did
