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.

ALEXANDER A CO, 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. The ond is not yet Columbus Enquirer. 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." Garrison, of worship and >r nigger that Kansas will nev. 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, —N. Y. Herald. 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.' ^Irlt of tbe Catholic Press. Tbe following extracts are taken from Csth olio papers published in this country, and they may, each of them, ba regarded as the “organ’ of that church.—Road nod ponder. “ The absurd and erroneous dootrine or ra ving In defenoe of liberty of conscience, is a most pestilential error—a pest, of all othors most to be dreaded in a State.—Encyclical Let ters Pops Pious IX, Aug. 16,1862. Protestantism of eveiykind, Catbollelty In serts in ber catalogue of mortal sins; she en dures it when and where she most; bnt she bates it, and directs all ber energies to effect its destruction.—&. Louis Shepherd of the Valley. Religions Liberty, In tbe sense of a liberty possessed by every man to choose his religion, is one of tlio most wretched delusions ever foisted on this age by tbe father of all deceit The Rambler, 1843. Tbe Cbnrch Is ofneoessity intolerant Her* esy she endures when and where abe must; bnt she bates it, and direets all her energies to its destruction. If Catholics over gain an im mense numerical majority, religious freedom in this country is at an end. So onr enemies say. So wo believe.—Shepherd of the Valley Nov. 23, 1851. The liberty of Herety and unbelief is not a right .... All tiie rights the sects bave 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 of the Valley, Oet. 22,1853. Yon should do all In yonr power to carry ont the intentions of His Holiness tbe Pope. Where yon have the electoral franchise, give yonr vote to none bnt those who will assist yon in so holy a struggle.—Daniel O’Connell, 1853. Nothing bat an Honest Heart to love yon BY HEBMIHE. Nothing! and what more would yon have, young girl, when that is all, indeed, and tbe rest but little less than nothing? Smile on now, in qniet happiness, for with that blest as surance yon may look with hope npon the fa tore happiness, for with that blest assurance yon may look with hope npon the future; there will be ills, and griefs, and heart aehes, bnt still will throb an honest man’s heart to love you. What is the passing scene? A peevish April day. A tittle son, a little rain; And then night sweeps along the plain, And all things pass away. The Albany Knickerbocker says that a Ger man girl wss arrested In tbe city for stealing old Iron, and that she had fourteen pounds of it secreted in herboBom. . iROM-ically speaking she was patterning after some of onr girls, secreting cotton. A heavy sub ject, bat a liyht conclusion. “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 London News. Fatal Result of Carrying Arms.—last Friday night * young man named Harman Huntemnller, residing on the Liberty Road, Baltimore, Maryland, Was in tbe act of descen ding the stairs of his honse, When his loaded pistol, placed in his pantaloons, pocket, was eidentally discharged, the ball entering the groin and severing an artery, soon bled him to death. 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- This storm happened in the vicinity of Pa- ryshnrgh, lower part of St. Peter's Parish, S, C.

On going outside it was perceived that the ground was completely covered with little frogs or toads about one inch long, which had evidently been rained npon the earth, and strange to say, they all appeared to be alive and kicking.—0»n- cinnati Gazette, Friday.

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.

The Liquor Law in Massachusetts koeps the offloere of the law quite busy. The police eourt is daily ocoupied with tbe hearings of vi olations of the law, and the oommnnity gets some insight into the various tricks practiced to evade penalties and still continue tbe trafflo. One confeotioner, who sold to parties three sev eral times on Snnday last, has been sentenced for three different violations of the law, making one hundred and forty days’ imprisonment and a fine of eighty dollars. If he bad stolen the liquor he would not have been punished so long or severely as be has been for tbo offonce of selling it.

Goob.—A traveller once arrived at a village Inn after a hard day's travel, and being very 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, as soon as he was able to speak— “Ob.
