HuB-lBtcrcoorse with Hassarhn setts
Under this head, the Bulletin of this morning
directed the attention of its readers to an act re'
cently passed by the Legislature of Massachu
setts, called the Personal Liberty Act. This
act las been pasted by the constitutional ma
jority* notwithstanding the Governor’s veto, and
it sow becomes the peopie of the whole Sooth
to expresstheiropinion of this outrage, in »m»n-
ner which shall not only be heard, bnt shall be
felt also. Let Southern sentiment he aroused.
Let the merchants, shippers and importers of
goods from and into every Southern port at once
hold public meetings and solemnlypledge them*
selves that, until the repeal of that nefarious
law, they will, in every and all eases, refuse to
ship a pound of fireight by any Tessel belonging
to a port in Massachusetts, provided a vessel
from any other port can be had.
Let them farther pledge themselves not to
buy a yard of cotton or other manufaetures made
in Massachusetts, when a similar article can
be had from any other State.
Let the eitixena of the whole South abstain
from entering the State of Massachusetts or pay
ing one dollar for the benefit of her railroads or
hotels. This Is a method of retaliation, legal
in all its bearings, and one which will bring the
mad fanatics of the North to their senses far
sooner than all the political associations that
cap. ever be devised. Let it not be said thi»
would be unfair, as confounding the guilty with
the honest. It will not On the contrary, it
will cause the honest to take hold of their legis-
tive affairs themselves, and consign the present
infamous members oT the Massachusetts Legis
lature to that oblivion from which they have
sprung; and will assuredly cause the. law in
question to be erased from the statute books of
the once honored State of Massachusetts.
and exercise a groat deal in
convert what you eat into pure healtbfrtl blood.
Do not be afield of out-door air day or night;
do not be afraid of sudden changes of. weather;
let no change, hot or cold, keep you in doors.
If it is rainy weather, tbe more need fbr your
going out, because you cat as much on a rainy
day as on a clear day, and if you exerolse less,
that much more remains ia the system of what
ought to be thrown off by exeroise, and some
til result, some eonsequent symptom or ill feel-
tug, Is the certain issue. If it is eold out of
doors do not muffle your eyes, mouth, and nose
In fim, veils, woollen eomfortera, and the like.
Nature has supplied yon with the best muffler,
with the best inhaling regulator, that if, two
Ups. Shut them before you step out of a warm
roam into the eold air, and keep them shut un
til you have walked briskiy a fow rods and
quickened the circulation a little; walk fast
enough to keep off a feeling of chilliness, and
taking cold will bo impossible. What are the
frets of the ease ? Look at railroad conductors,
going out of a hotair into tbe piercing cold of
winter and In again every five or ten minutes,
and yet they do not take cold oftener than oth
ers; you will scarcely find a consumptive man
in a thousand of them. It is wonderfhl how
afraid consumptive people are of fresh air, the
very thing that would cure them, the only ob
stacle to a cure being that they do not get
enough of it; and yet what infinite pains they
take to avoid breathing it, especially if it is
cold, when'it is known that the colder the air is
the purer it must be. Yet if people cannot get
to a hot climate they will make an artificial one,
and imprison themselves for a whole winter in
a warm room, with a tempera taro not varying
ten degroes in six months. All such people die,
and yet we fbilow In their footsteps. If I were
seriously ill of consumption I would live oot of
doors day and night, except it was raining or
mid-winter, then I would sleep in on unplas
tered log house. My consumptive friend, you
want air, not physio; you want pure air, not
medicated sir; you want nutrition, snob as
plenty of meat and bread will give, and they
alone. Physio has no nutriment; gaspings for
air cannot cure yon; monkey capers in a gym
nasium cannot core yon; and stimniants cannot
cure you. If you want to get well go in for
beef and oat door air, and do not be deluded

Nullification Lav in
We clip the following synopsis of
provisions of the Nullification Law of
usetta from the Boston Times:
Nuluficatxos in Massachusetts.— 1 The so
called “Act to protect tbe rights and liberties of
the people of Massachusetts,” which has been
reported to the Senate of that State, is of the
rankest nullification character. It provides
that every alledged fugitive from service shall
be entitled to die benefit of the writ of habeas
corpus, which maybe issued by the supreme
court, court of common pleas, sndJustices’ or
police court of any city or town; by any court
of record, judge of probate, or by any justice of
the peace even: provided, snch magistrates are
known to be within five miles of the place
where the party isimprisoned. Noperson hold
ing any State office is allowed to Issue any war
rantor grant any certificate under the fugitive
slave law, under the penalty of forfeiting his
office and being forever ineligible to any office
of trust or emolument under the laws of the
commonwealth. Sheriffs, constables, police oifi-
“There is no country in the world," says a
cotemporary, “where the people are so indicted
to the medicine eating propensity as tbe United
States. It has grown to be a perfect mania—a
disease of itself. Tbe fact is, Nature never de
signed tbe human body to be snch a receptacle
of medicine. If men would bat stady the laws
of nature, diet properly instead of excessively*
be regnlerin their habits, instead of regular
jn their doses, use common sense and cold water
freely, and doctor as little as possible, they
would live longer, suffer less, and pay little for
the privilege."
Monster Shakes.—Tbe long drought, it
would appear, is severely felt by the snake
tribe, forcing their snakeships from their lark
ing places to travel over the country in search
of water. A time back a large rattle snake was
killed near the head of Evan’s mill pond, seven
feet in length, and eighteen inches girth. The
track of another one has been seen in the same
neighborhood, supposed to be ranch larger, his
track measuring eight inches across, The track
of a still larger one has been seen regularly In
August of every year, for tbe last 37 years,
Treatment of tbe Obolsbav—Mr. E. W.
Lane, the well known Eastern traveller, gives
tbit receipt for tbe treatmont of cholera: If the
Ipt 1
patients nave vomited the poisonous matter
whioh is a characteristic of tbo disease, and
which resembles rice water, give a table spoon-
fbl of powerful mustard in a tumbler of oold
water as an emetic. After tbe vomiting ( wheth-
or produced by the disease or by the above
means,) within a ftw minutes give a wine glass
of brandy, with ten grains of powdered oapsi.
cum (Oayene pepper,) stirred up. This gener
ally produced almost immediate relief) and it
an hour rest, perspiration and sleep. In a few
cases it was found necessary to give a half
dose of the brandy and capsicum, sifter half an
hour or more. A second half dose was never
required; but, ebonld it be required, it may be
given. To accelerate convalescence, it has been
suggested that fifteen drops of a mixture of
spirits of ammonia and sulphuric ether, in equal
portions,jraay be given three or four times the
following day.
The Mormon Priests appear to be anything
but acetlcs. Bro. Phelps having mode a sort
of circuit of the settlements, returned to Salt
Lake City—“having," as he says, “been absent
twelve days, travelled one hundred and fifty
miles, and preached fifteen hoars, attended two
plays and one danee, and settled many minor
difficulties. The people of Utah are busy fen
cing and pntting in their grain.” They have
commenced to adopt a mud wall as a field de
fence.
. Gentlemen.—Mr. Hale who pnblishes a
“Review of the proceedings of the Nunnery
Committee 01 the Massachusetts Legislature,"
gets off tbe following piqnant hit:
“The definition of the term 'gentleman’ has
paxded heads bettor qualified for the task (it is
no disrespect to say) than members of the Mss-
saehnsetts legislature* I don't care to try my
hand at defining the word; bnt I claim to be
able to judge what conduct is not the conduct
of a gentleman. Some critics in their defini
tions confound the 'gentleman' with the soldier;
some confound the gentleman with tbe Chris
tian. Both, doubtless, are partly right and part
ly wrong. There are three things, however,
which by universal consent have come to be re
garded as necessary attributes of the character
of a gentleman from the age of chivalry down
wards. These three things are—
Rsspect for Troth,
Bespeot for Woman,
Respect for Religion.
“He who fiuls in either of these three, so far
falls short of/the characters of a gentleman.—
The party that went to Roxbnry failed in them
all.
crossing the Cahaba road, abont four miles west
of this, in tbe direction of a swamp, which is sup
posed to be his regular biding place The track
of this monster is 13 inches across. Repeated
attempts have been made to capture this patri
arch of the snake tribe, bnt as yet without success.
He crossed on his usual track last August.—
South Alabamian.
The Rights or Schoolmasters and Par
ents.—A esse of considerable interest was tried
before Jastlee Ladd, of Cambridge, on Saturday,
A citizen of Newton was complained of for an
assault upon the. master of a school of that place.
It appeared that tbe master was in the habit,
as is now the general custom, of keeping tbe
child of defendant with other scholars after
school hoars, to learn her lessons which had
beta imperfectly recited during school boars.
The parent believing that the detention wosille-
gal, went to the school boose and demanded bis
child. Thiswa* after regular school hours. The
master said that the child should go as soon as
she had recited her lesson. The parent attemp
ted to enter the sehool room to take his child,
but his entrance was resisted by the master, and
the assault on the master was the result. The
court ruled that the beeping of a ebild until the
lessons of the day bad been perfeoted, was legal;
that tbe parent, in attempting to enter the sehool
room in opposition to tbe will of tbe master,
was in the wrong; that a child plaeed at school
by the parents is nnder the control of the mast
and the volnnteer militia, are forbidden
to aid in any way in carrying ont the provisions
of the fugitive slave law of 1850, nnder penal
ty of a fine of not less than $1000 nor more
than $2000, and imprisonment in the 8tato
prison for a term of from one to two years.—
Any person who shall act as counsel or attor
ney for any claimant of an alledged fugitive
shall be deemed to have resigned any commis
sion he may hold from the State, and shall
thereafter be incapacitated from appearing as
counsel or attorney in any of the courts
of the State. No State jail Is to be used
as a place for the detention of an alledged fugi
tive.
FbIob Hmaent la Crawford County.
We learn from a letter received by tbe com
mittee appointed at the Temperance Hall mee
ting; that the platform of principles and aetion
at that meeting was dlscnsssed at a
meeting of citizens of Crawford county, on 5th
inst, and unanimously adopted. The details
of tbe proceedings are not yet received, but
will appear at the earliest moment We learn
that the Knoxville meeting was composed of a
large and highly respectablo portion of the cit
izens, without distinction of party.

Solckfo of a ffegre.
We regret to learn that a Negro man, famil
iarly known as Ibe, the faithful body servant of
CoL A. McDougald of this city, committed
suicide by hanging himself on Thursday night
last It is not accurately known what were tbo
circumstances that led to tbe rash act, bnt Jeal
ousy Is supposed to hare been the principal
oanse. Tbe loss falls heavily upon Col, McDou
gald, not only in a pecuniary point of view, bnt
in tbe deprivation of the valuable services of a
faithful and well tried servant, whom his owner
would not have scrupled to entrust with un
counted gold. Many of our eitisens will share
the regret of CoL McD. at tbe untimely end of
poor Ibe, whose familiar presence at onr Court
House daring the sessions of tbe Superior Court
has for many years been one of the not least
prominent features of that tribunal. Peace to
the ashes of faithful Ibe!
Columbus Enquirer.
Am Affect:*0 Incident.—A seaman of the
fleet before Sevastopol, whose family lives at
Polperro, in this county, was ordered on shore
for tbe purpose of assisting in burying tbe slain
who fell in a late attack of the Russians on tbe
British batteries; and almost tbe first person
he met with on landing was one of his brothers,
of whose presence in the fleet he was not before
informed, and who had been severely wounded
in tbe late engagement From him he learned
tbatbls two brothers were all serving in the nav
al brigade on shore; and with him be remained
until be saw him expire, He then proceeded
on tbe duty for which he had landed, and soon
discovered tbe bodies of his two other brothers,
who had been killed in the battle. His feel*
ings may be imagined as he assisted in laying
these three brothers of bis own side by side of
his own side in one grave.—Corwall Royal Ga
zette. £ < - . -
Native Africans.—The vessels from this port
which trade to the coasts of Africa frequently
bring home among their crews several natives
who are found very useful and faithful on board
ship. They are often seen strutting abont onr
streets with all their dignity, staring open-eyed
and open.mouthed at the gay shop windows, and
jabbering their vernacular with a nonchalance
which altogether pots to sbame the Yankee tin
go. They are your real Congoes—pure, unadul
terated Guinea negroes, black as darkness itself,
and independent as a whole platoon of Fourth
of July boys. They Invariable purchase a trunk
fall of Yankee knick-knacks to take back to
their burning sands and delight the eyes of tbe
sable damsels at home. A few days ago some
half-dozen of these representatives of the legit
imate African stock were abont to sail in the
bark John Swasey. Of course they came np
to make their purchases, and marched back in
procession, eaeb with his well-loaded rnsset
trank poised upon bis head, and hat and speak
ing-trumpet in bis hand, cutting a curious fig
ure as he stalked through the streets. Umbrel
las, canes, shaving boxes, flaming kerchiefs,
huge dickies, looking-glasses, hats of unique va
rieties, trinkets, pictures of tailor’s fashions, Ac.,
compose their stock, and one genius had pro
▼ided himself with a thick, heavy ooat to shield
him from the biasing snn of Africa. Tbe de
light they manifested when, arrayed in their fi
nery they examined their appearance in the
looking-glasses, wbioh they drew forth npon the
wharf, was quite amusing to witness. They had
managed to acquire a considerable knowledge
of English and a reply of one of them to a ques
tioner displayed a shrewdness worth mention
ing. A spectator happening, among of otber
queries, to ask how they liked America, Congo
immediately answered: “Ah, me no like 'Meri-
can land—cold morning, cold night, make nose
leak tike a basket." The crowd shouted and
'Congo showing bis ivory tumbled into the ship’s
boat to be conveyed to tbe vessel’s side, “Home
Again” being expressed on every ebony feature,
polished by joy and nature’s precious ointment
to its ntmo*t capacity.—Salem Register.
The Eaton, (O.) Register says that a man liv
ing some miles west of that place, lately killed
a “Horn 8nake," a reptile often talked of, bnt
rarely seen. It is said to be a most venomons
critter. The Register thus describes it t “Tbe
monster killed thus measures four feet in length
and tbe horn at the end of the tail—though on
almostimperceptible hole from which the poison
is ejected—was about an inch and a hatf long,
spiral, sharp at the point, and so bard as tode
the eff
1 effort to cat it with a knife."

Gabrisoh a Prophet.—Old
Boston, tne great chief of n!j
nigger worshippers, says
er be a free State: and he gives four substantial
reasons why it will, as long as this Union lasts,
be inevitably a slave 8tato. Tbo great nigger
worshipper is right in bis prediction ; and tbe
smaller nigger worshippers all over tbe country
may rant and rave as mneb as tbey please,
but tbey cannot change the destiny of Kansas,

A Beautiful Extract.—When tbe summer
of yontb Is slowly wasting away on tbe night*
fall of age, and tbe shadow of tbo past becomes
deeper and deeper, and life wears to its olose,
it is pleasant to look through tbo vista of time
upon tbe sorrowfal felicities of oar earliest
J ean. If we have a home to shelter, and bave
carts to rejoice with ns, and friends bave been
gathered together around our firesides, then
the rongb place of our way-faring will have
been worn and smothered away in tbe twilight
of life, while the many sports we have passed
through will grow brighter and more beautiful.
Happy, indeed, are tbey whose intercourse
with the world has not ebanged tbo tone of
their holier feelings, or broken those musical
chords of tbe heart, whose vibrations are to
ter, until regularly dismissed, and that a paren*
cannot withdraw the child from school during
the day againstthe master’s will, excepttbrongh
the intervention of an officer and tbe school com
mittee. The defedant was fined $30 and costs.
Boston Transcript.
Epitaphs.—Bensrade, the court poet, wrote
the following epitaph on the great cardinal:
Here lies his life and labors tbrongh,
The far-famed Cardinal Richetien;
But what brings forth my tears and sighs,
Is that with him my passion dies.
Here Is one on a wind miller:
The miller Jackson lies bnried here!
He lived on wind with wife and children small,
And many others live on it, that’s clear,
Who have no mill at all.
“Here ties returned to clay
Miss Arabella Young,
Who on the first of May
Began to hold her tongne.
Lastly an epitaph inscribed on a tomb-stone
erected by some of the fancy men to mark the
grave of an illaBtrions professor of pngilistio
art:
“Here lies Tim Doff the fighter, and blessings
On his head,
He never cried 'enough/ till after he was dead.'

The liberty of Herety and unbelief is not a

or can bave, are derived from tbe State, and
rest on expediency. As they bave in their
character of sects hostile to the tree religion,
no rights nnder the law of nature or the law of
God, they are neither wronged nor deprived of
liberty if the State refuses to grant them any
rights at all.—Brownson’s Review, Oct. '52, p.
5548.
We think tbe “masses” were never less hap
py, less respectable, and less respected, than
they have been sinee the Reformation, and
particularly within tbo last fifty or one hundred
years—since Lord Brougham caught the mania
of teaching them to read and communicated
the disease to a large proportion of the English
nation, of which, in spite of all onr talk, we
are too often the servile imitators.—Shepherd

“The Model Commohwealth.— 1 "At a large
meeting of the eitisens of Boston, held at Fan-
enil Hall, the following resolution was adop
ted:
“Resolved, That the Legislature of 1855
ctends without a parallel in its shame. Its in*
sonsistencies are glaring, its hypocrisy mani
fest, its immoralities gross, while folly and stu
pidity seemed to be the presiding genius of ma
ny of its acts and enactments, so that, while the
intention is manifest; there Is no moral power
in tboir law to injure tbe character of those at
whom the blow is aimed."
It tarns ont, as wss to he expected, that in
addition to tbe skeleton of Saint Felix the Mar
tyr, sent- to the Queen of Spain bv the Pope,
and to that of the same saint which previously
existed in a church in Andelusia, there Is also
one In tbe Hermitage of tho Virgin near Man-
zanarcs. In presence of these three sets of rel
ics of one and the same saint, the Pope will be
respectfully entreated to say whieb is to be con
sidered the real one.
Nothing! Are the pure devoted love of an
honest heart, the generous impulses of a noble
sonl, the virtues which insure yonr future hap
piness to he counted nothing? Ah! rather let
prayer arise on high to Him who has given
yon so much of happiness. How many as
young, as good, as lovely, bend the knee to ask
Almighty God the precise boon of an honest
heart to love them.
A time must come when yontb, and graee,
and loveliness, will fade away—when hopes,
and dreams, and yearnings change to qniet all
trust in Providence—when earth’s snrfaee will
seem void of dazzling roses, and life's sky unlit
by glorious sunbeams—when friends, anti rela
tives, and loveliness Will pass before yon to
the grave; bnt still will hloota sWeet flowers of
happiness along life’s way, and softened holier
sunlight flood the sky; if on the desert land
there throbs an honest heart to loVe yon.
Nothing. There will be an hour in which
earth, with its pomp, anp showy wealth with
its pleasure and delight, and beauty with its
charms and power, Wul seem to you like noth
ing; while the memoiy of a love that blest yonr
maidenhood and cheered yon mid the storms of
life, that went before yon and gave yon spirit
strength to follow, that crashed the thorns of
affliction placed npon yonr brow and colled each
flower that blossomed on life’s way, will rise
in pleasantness before yon; and while yonr
spirit, qniet and serene, awaitB death’s summons
from this world, remember that the peace, the
crown, the happiness is yonrs, because of the
virtue, troth and bright example of the honest
heart that loved you.

More of Married Women’s Rights.—The
Legislature of Wisconsin has recently passed
the following law, relative to the rights of
married women. The law took effect immedi
ately after its publication:—Any married wo
man whose husband either from drunkenness,
prefligaoy, or from any other cause, shall neg
lect or refuse to provide for her support, or for
the support and education of her children, shall
have the right, in her own name, .to transact
business, and to receive and collect her own
earnings and tbe earnings ofher minor children,
and apply the same few her own support and the
support and education of such children, free
from the control and interference of her hus
band, or any person claiming the same, or
claiming to be released from the same, by or
tbrongh her husband: Provided, That if it 1b
denied by plea, that either of the causes, enu
merated in this aot, as entitling the married
woman to sue in her own name, exists in point
of fact, then the issne upon this plea shall be
tried and determined by the jury trying the
ease, with the other issues submitted.
Eruption of Vetavlos.
Everything In Naples is for the present ex
tingniabed by one great fact—the eruption of
Vesuvius. King, Ministers and policemen, in
their several spheres, are all scorched and shri
velled up into nothingness. I am disposed to
think that • Napoleon might now wear a girdle,
around bis waist, or a beard, or a wide-awake,
so all absorbing is the eruption of Vesavias.
We have been expecting and longing for it for
some time The wells at Resina has been dried
np. More than once since 1650, tbe monntoins
thundered and smoked, and in tbe beginning
of tho year a portion of tbe crater fell in.
Great numbers of strangers have, therefore,
waited till very late in the season, in the hope
of seeing this extraordinary spectacle, mod
have just token their leave, when the mountain,
as in “dispetto," breaks onf.
Tbe principal guide, who is called Cozzaling,
reported on the morning of the 1st of May that
he bad just ascended the mountain, and that
on arriving at the summit, there were a thou
sand reports as of cannon, and then was thrown
np a discharge of red hot stones. Tbe rain
and mist and smoke, however, all mingled to
gether, prevented a near approach or nearer
observation, and we are, therefore, for the pres
ent, left to our unaided observations. Daring
the whole of yesterday nothing was to be seen
but smoke and clond, which enveloped not only
tbe mountain, bnt the whole coast and then
sweptaway in immense volumes towards Capri.
In the veiy centre of olond, however, might be
seen an ashy sulphurous colored plain, which hy
a shade of difference in the color, and by tbe
well-marked outline, indicated that it was not
all smoke, bqt that lava was coming down.'
As evening came on the heavens were in a
bright glow, and the whole population flocked
down to the mole of Santa Lncia, to see the
magnificent spectacle. It was one of those un
defined scenes which give the imagination full
play. The form of toe mountain was andls
tingasbable; nothing was to be seen bat doads
and smoke and fire. Up to the very zenith,
the sky was covered with large balboas clouds,
black as ink, and fringed with white; under
neath and half way down the mountain, every
thing was on fire, while right in the centre of it
shot np a cone of black smoke. Still lower
again, dark doads covered the base of the
mountain, having, too, as their centre-piece
and contrast the river of lava which is running
down towards Resina-
A few days since, I was exploring with the
miners among the ruins, that still lie bnried
under the modern city. Tbe neighbor moun
tain was rambling and smoking, and referring
the inhabitants, as it were, to the history of the
past; they took no notice of it, and I doubt
whether they now do so, except to calculate
the amount of profit it may bring in to them;
for fin eruption of Vesuvius is as good to them
as a fire to the London thieves. Dnring the
whole of last night there was a perfect process
ion of carriages towards Resina. I contented
myself with remaining here for the first view,
bnt probably shall go over to-night, and will
sead yon farther details by Saturday’s boat
The scene was rendered still grander by an
eclipse of the moon, which took place abont
two boars and a half after midnight— Cor. of

A Hail Storm.—We find the following de
scription of a remarkable hail storm iu th«
Southern Christian Advocate:
Mr. Editor: I send yoa an account of a se
vere hailstorm that passed through our neigh
borhood obout two o'clock on May 27th. ’1 he
storm lasted for fifteen minutes as thick as ev«r
rain fell. Some of the hail stones were as
large as my hat I the most of them were tho
size of fowls’ eggs. My whole place was as
white as I ever saw one after a snow storm.
The level ground was covered six inchea thick,
and on one side of the palings and in the cor
ners of tbe fance the hail was over a foot deep.
It beat holes through tbe shingles of the hou
ses. I thought it was the last day for every
thing that was ont of doors. As soon as it
stopped I hastened to my pasture, expecting to
find every living thing I had in the world dead;
bnt to my astonishment I only found one calf
and six hogs killed. One had its skull broke.
We bare lost all the poultry that was out,
and a dog was killsdsquirrels were knocked
dead out of the tree-tops, and dead birds cats
be found all over the fields. My whole crop is
beat to pieces, the veiy bark of tbe trees was
knocked off in patches tbe size of a dollar.
The whole forest is trimmed wherever the hail
struck.
My neighbors north and south of me fared
as badly as"myself; but those east and west did
not fare quite so bad. Such a storm, I think,
was never seen before. Some of your readers
may tbink this a tough tale; but it is out of tbe
power of pen, ink and paper to paint the storm
half as had as it really Was; nothing bat expe
rience of it can conyey the true idea, I am
compelled to plant my corn over; ray oats are
lost and rice may come-

Some of t&e Means.—Th6 vote in Virginia
at the late State elections, was very large—con
siderably larger than ever before known. The
American Organ of the 28th nit, in connection
with thiB fact says:
“We are also informed by an intelligent
Virginia Democrat that there are 10,000 Irish
laborers on the public works in that State who
have voted at this election for the first time,
and all of them for the Wise ticket—There
are from 3,000 to 4,000 of these laborers on the
Blae Ridge Tunnel. In Augusta Mono 340
Irish laborers came to the polls and voted for
Wise. On the Virginia and Tennessee Road,
in S. W. Virginia, there were several thousand
foreign votes cast against ns.
Buffalo.—Mr. Mastin is reported to he
elected Judge of the,Superior Court of Buffalo
by a large majority eVof the American candid-

in a total population of 60,000.
The defeat of the American candidate is not,
therefore, a matter of surprise. We should
have been astonished if he had been elected,

Goob.—A traveller once arrived at a village

tired, requested a room to sleep in; but the
landlord said they Were entirely fall, and that
it was utterly impossible to accommodate him—
that his wife had to sleep on the sofa and him
self on the floor; but he would see what his
Wife could do for him. The good woman, on
being applied to> arid there was a room which
he might occupy, provided he would agree to
tbo conditions, viz: to enter the room late in
t$e dark, and leave It early in the morning, to
S reventsaandal, as the room was occupied by a
idy. This he agreed to do. About two o’clock
in tiie morning an awful noise was heard iu the
bouse, and our friend the traveller was soon
heard tumbling heels over head down the stairs.
Our landlord, on arriving at the spot, enquired
what the mattor was. Tbe traveller ejaculated,
