JS" IMPORTANT TO LAWYERS. —The President |
Judge of the Court of Common Tleasof Allegheny Coun
'y, gave notice, recently, that all lawyers practicing in
taat court, who did not at once pay the excise tax.sho'd
suspended until such payment was made. This is
tight. The pillars of the law should always set the
extmple of its observance, and we hope that the determ
iSition of the Allegheny Judge will be emulated by

CHRONIC DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY. —
A Boston paper gives the following recipe for the above
wmplaints, and states that it has been used by soldiers
Warned from the army in a state of great feebleness,

ary medical treatment seemed of little avail. The reme

" To onc-quaVteT of a pound of bops add two quarts of

°s one pound of loaf sugar ; when cold add one pint of
foiuine old Jamaica rum ; it must be ]>ure. Bottle and

I®" MR. EDITOR : —At our Temperance
Meeting held in the Village of Monrocton on the 4tb inst.,

TILLE'S address on the occasion was most opportune and
Vrropriate. The audience was rather large, and com.
Posed of the youthful portion of the community to a on

to the pledge, and things have a prosperous appearance
Stoeraliy. Through the indefatigable labors of a few
temperance is once more likely to become an insli
iuJ 'on in our connty. In connection with the services of
Veiling, the following resolutions, proposed by Rev.

That the thanks of this meeting arc due and

Adjourned to Wednesday , Jga
A. ML'LLEP,Secretary
Mraroeten, March ?. IP'J-
Bk&- \\ K cheerfully endorse the following
flattering notice, which we clip from a late number of the
rtochestcr Democrat. It will be remembered that this
lady gave an entertninment at this place not long since :
MADAME JULIA MF.LVILLE. —We bad the pleasure of
listening to a most recherche musical entertainment last
evening by the above well known singer and her daugh
ter, La Beile EMILIE. The audience was a large and
highly respectable one, and seemed well pleased with
fc*ery feature. Madame M. has been absent several vears
•n a successful tour through the States and Canadas.and
has returned to favor us with her Concert for but a few
evenings, when she again intends to launch out upoD the
musical world. She Is emphatically a tine sifiger, pos
sessing astrofig, pure and clear soprano voice and deep
contralto. Her rendition of the " Star Spangled Ban
ner had a very fine effect, and all her other pieces were
gitreu in good taste.
La Belie EMILIE can be truly called the *• Child of
Song." Being but twelve years of age, she possesses a
wonderful voice for one so young. Beautiful, accom
plished, gitted, she promises to become a bright and glit
tering star iu the musical galaxy, llcr Songs iu charac
ter are alone worth the price of almission.
" Master WILLIE, the' Child Orator.' only three years
ot age, was an astonishing feature. His recitations from
Shakspeare and other authors were given with great elo
cutionary power and emphatic delivery, and elicited un
bounded applause."
THE SCARCITY OF PENNIES. —The Fcar
city of nickel is causing serious embarrassment to smal
dealers. Those who are hoarding nickel away forget
that its intrinsic value as compared with the standard of
value—gold—is but sixty cents on the dollar. Gold,
whether manufacture J into candlesticks or five dollar
gold pieces, has a certain value the world over ; so has
nickel, but it does not bear relative ly the same value as
gold, because it is intended only for home circulation,
and is considered only as a matter of convenience. As
J it is not intended for foreign circulation, it is of little or
no consequence what its intrinsic value is. The attempt
to inflate the nickel will prove a failure. The Philadel
phia mint is turning out SOO,OOO a month and taking
Greenbacks in pay for them. The speculators in niekt 1
will burn their fingers.
ECLIPSES FOR THF. YEAR 18G3—There
will be four .eclipses this year, as follows :
1. A partial 6c l ipse of the sun, May 18. Invisible in
the United States, except in California and Oregon. At
San Francisco it begins at 6 h., 50iu., and ends at 7h
50nt.
2. A total eclipse of the mooo. June J, in the evening.
Visible in part of the United States- but generally as a
partial eclipse.
3. The annular eclipse of the sun, November 11, in
visible in America.
4. A partial eclipse of the moon in the moftpng of
Nov. 25. Digits 1150. Visible in the U. S.
The old ftdaife about March "coming ;
to like a Ilea and going out like a lamb," according to the
discovery of a cotemporary, will be verified at the pres
cut time. Wet, moist and damp, or balmy, genial and
ti anquHiring, conses every other day or so. It is very
much like fire temper of a person who knows not wheth- I
er to be good or ilKhumoced. First there is a laugh and I
perhaps a dash of m>rth. Then follows a pause ; a dole
ful t repress!a gradually pervades the face, and complaint :
and despmwfeney a most lachrymose appearance. !
Why don't people learn something about the effects c-f ;
ucli humors There are noire of the great faujj
mention afflicted iu this.mamrer, save man. ThcjjHk |
and birds -are only -dull and moping whoa sieknevs-iptw. j
rupts tier?-usual course of-existence. P .t man goes oufT
into the sunshine wfcen nature is most inviting, and j
iudu'gesin thoughts of misery and wretchedne-s wheth- '
er for cause or- eet. ft has a malign effect on the physic- j
a! economy. Tire stomach loses its appetite, the liver ;
becomes moruid. and the spleen, enlarging, produces soar •
disdain. There can be no health when the mind is con- j
tinually studying the shadows. The world at large isuot
the place of gloom, it has too much coloring, too much
beauty, too muck of the grand and imposing.
