WIIV WE SHOULD SUPPORT TBE
TICKET
The Democrats of this county have presented
for their support thißf&U one of tho boat tickets
TT6 have ever had. Tho Convention whiob form
ed it seemed resolved to do right, and to repre
sent the views and promote the best interests of
the party. Seldom has a Convention been so
harmonious, bo free from factional influences,
and so intent upon commencing the work of the
campaign well and wisely. We should all sup
port the ticket, then, because it is a good one>
and was put in nomination by a Convention that
truly represented the sentiments of the party.
Last year was a yoar of disasters to our party.
Private griefs and disappointments had alienated
some of onr former friends. Many were dissatis
fied with our candidates. Novel combinations
were formed against us; and by tbo lukewarm
ness of our friends, and the zeal of our foes, we j
lost all in 1854. But theso causes are not at
work now. Our Joes arc divided and cannot
unite in time for the October election. Our can
didates are unobjectionable. Tho disaflfeoted
and disorganizing have left us, and we have
found many new friends in their stead. In al[
directions we find tho Democrats going zealously
and confidently to work. They seem to be re
solved that it onr turn now to triumph ; that it
is our duty to do so, and that there are elements
at work that will enable us to do so if rightly
employed. Wo should all support tho ticket,
then, bcoauso we have a chance of Buooess; a
ohance to secure a fair share of the public offi
ces, whioh onr party in this oounty has seldom
enjoyed. By failiog to do our duty this fall we
shall throw away the host obanoo we had for
years of securing a just share iu the adminis
tration of public affairs.
The Democratic party is now the only national
party; and npon its firmness and suooess must
the country depend for the safety and integrity
of the Union, and for peaoo and harmony be
tween its different parts. The people have not
yet forgotten the value of the Union, nor the
hlßtory of the past. That history assures os
that it was the Union of the North and Sooth
that secured our independence; that has ena
bled us in three-fourths of o century to become
one of the greatest nations of the world ; and it
Is that Union that now gives us domestic peace
and prosperity, and seoures ns from foreign as
sault. Upon the Democracy alone now devolves
tho task of preserving that Union and all its
inestimable advantages. This is our task and
our duty ; and each triumph won, each battle
well fought, even in a looat election, is a part of
its accomplishment. Henoe we should support
the tioket; to measure our strength, perfeot our
organization, Sa prepare for the Presidential
campaign of next year. If we win this year, the
farces of onr antagonists will be broken and
scattered, while onr friends will be oheered and
encouraged. Every troo Democrat will Bopport
our whole ticket this year. He,will do so be
cause it is a good tioket: because there is a rea
sonable hope of success: and because the suc
0888 of the Demooraoy seems essential to the
safety and beßt interests of the country.
The charm of novelty and Buooess haß depart
ed from the Know Nothing party. It has met
repeated defeats of late, both North and. South.
It is tho old Native American party, with a fresh
infusion of religious prejudice and abolitionism,
and with a temporary accession of numbers
gained by that attractive secresy that it can no
longer maintain. The Republican party is the
old Abolition party with a new name, but no
new principles. Its greatest achievement will
be to rend asunder the Amerioan party, and
thus divide and defeat the opponents of the De
mocracy ; and all effective opposition to ns will
be confined to the Northern States alone.
Sirs, Bvliib«lm and «* Sam.*’
After all it appears Mrs. Jane Q. Bwisshelm is
not “ sound on the Amerioan question ; " or rath
er Bhe considers the Order unsound on the Anti-
Slavery issue. She therefore writes another
letter to Mr. Kiddle, expressing the hope that “if
they (the Know Nothings) intend to oonnt the
importance of Philadelphia dry goods, to the
extent of adopting that lame Heading resolution
as their ultimatum, I hope they may be so badly
beaten that they will never think worth while
oalling the roil after the next eleotion.” This is
what she says after reading the platform of the
principles of the Order as published in Us organs
in this county. Mrs. Swisshelm says farther
that when the members of the National Council’
meet at Cincinnati “ if they do not throw the
Slavedrivers out of the window, they may tie up
their organization in a little canvass bag, with'
a quart of Band, and sink it in the Ohio.” Mr.
Biddle says never a word in reply to the epistle
of .his better half of th c'Joumal and Visitor, and
W 8 consequently arrive at the opinion that the
American party has concluded to go ahead with
out the aid of her powerful pen and—tongue.
The entire number of applications under the
bounty land law since Marob last, up to the Ist
io£t., is 209,800, of whioh, 10,700 were filed in
August. Daring the same month 8,700 warrants
wore issued. Tbe total number issued is 24,000.
While some boiyß were ‘*playing soldier” at
Cold Spring, N. Y., on Thursday afternoon,
Thomas Phaleo was stabbed in the lower part
of hiS'body with a sharp bayonet fixed on a fitiok
by a boy named Finnen, and injured so mnoh
that he died in about half au hour afterwards.
The deoeased was about eight years of age.
-SEPTEMBER 4
Eight miles more of the Huntingdon and
Broad Top railroad has been oompletod, making
now 15 miles in all that is in operation. The
grand exonrslon and pio-nio party, intruding the
military and a band of musio, passed over tbe
road on Thursday last as far as Green Groves, a
distanoe of 13 miles, where the company partook
of a sumptuous repast prepared for the ooca-
Four young men belonging to Montreal,
named Charles Atwater, Wo. Webster, Harry
M. Webster and Wm. Keeler, were drowned
while crossing Lake Champlain, from Chimney
Point to Crown Point. The day on which they
were drowned is not stated. Atwater is a son
of Alderman Atwater, of Montreal. All the
bodies had been recovered. The Wobstorß were
sons of Dr. Webster, and Keeler was a atop bou
of the proprietor of the Union Times. They all
left Montreal on the 20:h inst., on a pleasure

New York (Soft) Democratic Convention.—
Tho Soft Bhell Democrats of the Emplro State
met at Syracuse last week, and nominated tbe
following ticket: *
Judges of the Court of Appeals —Samuel Seldon,
of Monroe, (long term;) John A. Lott, of Kings,
(short term.)
Secretary of State— lsrael T. Hatch, of Erie.
Comptroller —Samnel Stetson, of Clinton.
State Treasurer —Arid 8. Thurston, of Che

Canal Commissioner —Curtis Hawley, of Liv
ingston.
Attorney General —Samuel J. Tildon, of New
York.
State Engineer and Surveyor —John B. Jervis
of Oaeida.
State Prison Inspector —Patrick Agan, of Onon
daga.
Mr. Belden, who heads tho ticket, is also tho
oandidate of the Hard Shells, and will doubtlesß
be elected. The Convention passed resolutions
approving the polioy of the administration, and
condemning the invasion of Kansas by tho Mis
souri ruffians.
Hon. John Y. M .ecu, U. 8. Minister at Paris,
calls the attention of our Government to tho fact
that persons who have only filed a declaration of
their intention to become citizens of this country
are going about Earope with papers alleged to
be American passports, not even issued by the
State Department, nor under its authority, but
bj private individuals. In such cases be had
takeo tho responsibility of seizing tho papers,
and refusing to give, in place of them, any tes‘
timonial of American protection, and this course
is approved by Secretary Marcy.
The net amount in the Treasury of tho United
States, subject to draft, is $19,91G,G19. While
tho Allied Powers and Russia are hard up,
Uqolo Sam has twenty millions moro than be
knows what to do with. Who says Uncle Bam
aint “rich enough to bay os all a four aero lot"
Robort Kelley, of New York city, presided
over tbe Soft Democratic Convention at Syra
cuse. In tbh oveoing session on WedDosday, on
motion of John Van Boren, it was resolved, that
tho committee on resolutions bo instructed to
report to the Convention thoir views upon the
time and manner of appointing delegates to rep
resent the Democracy of New York Cm
oinnati National Convention.
The K. N. State Convention at Bioghampton
appointed Erastus Brooks and Mr. Soroggs, of
Buffalo, delegates to tbo National Convention.
It seems Rev. Cbaunoey Burr belongs to tbo or
der; he that was formerly editor of the National
Demoorat, a Hard print.
The Baltimore Republican, in oxpresaiDg a
preference for tho ro nomination of tho present
incumbent of ibe Presidential chair, says:
“Surely no man has more faithfully adhered to
the constitution in all its requirements than has
General Pierce.”
The State of Maino newspaper says that the
visit of Hale and Bel!, from New Hampshire,
was as harmless as the visit of two grasshoppers.
Banks sod Hale are still laboring to inform tho
people of Maine who they should elect Governor
and Representatives Benevolent persons, these
renegades ; perhaps the voters of Maioe know
their duty as well as those foreign dictators from
New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
An Eeeoe, popurae on Not. —The New York
Ilerald says the belief that “ oar officiate and
citizens" are prohibited from accepting titles of
nobility, presents, &o , from foreign nations, is
a “ popular error." It says an amendment to
the Constitution, to that effect, was introduoed
into Congress, in 1818, but was never passed, as
only twelve States acoepted it. If this bo so, it
is time that the Constitution of the United States
were correctly printed, for every oopy ever is
sued, that we have seen, stubbornly contains this
paragraph in theTth'dmsion of section lx, of ar
ticle Ist:
•* No person holding any offloe of profit or
trust under them, (the United States,) shall,
without the consent of Congress, aooept of any
present, emolument, offioe or titlo, of any kind
whatever, from aoy king, prinoo or foreign
State,”
This seema a very effectual prohibition to “our
officials," and wo never heard the olauso applied
to private oitizena. 'When Gen. Jaokson, while
President, a number of years ago, was presented
by Borne admiring foreign friend of princely rank,
the Emperor of Morocco, we believe, with a
“Nomidian Lion," Congress had to pass on aot
all owl tig him to accept it. Tho belief referred to
may bepopular, but it is not so erroneous as the
Herald supposes.
Important Statistics. —lt is stated, as show
ing that the Southern Btates maintain thoir
growth relatively with the North, or nearly bo,
that in 1790 the population of Georgia was 82,-
000 ; in 1860 it had increased to 906,000, an in
crease of eleven fold in sixty years. In 1790,
the population of New York was 840,000; in
1860 it had grown to 3.078,000, an inorease of
nine fold in CO years. It will be perooived that
Georgia has increased faster than New York,
notwithstanding the advantage whioh the latter
State has bad from foreign immigration. To
make a comparison with Virginia, take the State
of Massachusetts. In 1790 her population was
378,000; in 1860 tt was 994,000. In 1790 the
population of Virginia was 748,000 ; in 1860 It
was 1,421,000. In Massachusetts the increase
in 60 years has been 280 per cent. In Virginia
it has been 200 por oent. This difference in favor
of Massachusetts Is very small, and is more than
balanced, if you compare Connecticut with South
Carolina, both belonging to the old thirteen. Io
1790 the population of Connecticut was 238,000;
In 1850 it was 370,000. Thus nearly doubling in
60 years. Io 1760 the population of Bouth Car
olina was 240,000; in 1860 it was 668,000,
which is almost threo times the numbor in 1790.
liOas of the Sab-Uarlne Gable for Con
necting Nova Scotia*
A despatoh has been received in this city
from Sydney this morning, confirming the news
of the loss of the sub-marine telegraph, whioh
was being laid between Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia. The vessel was 1 forty miles from the
Newfoundland coast, and had been engaged in
laying the cable two days. The cable, whioh
was insured, was abandoned to the underwriters,
and the vessel, after coaling at Sydney, was to
return to this city, where she is expeoted to ar
rive on Monday or Tuesday evening. It is sup
posed that this aooident will delay the comple
tion of the telegraph at least one year.

Tile Burlington Railroad Massacre—Con
dition of tlie Woundedt
[ From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sept mber I.J
The condition of the wounded, jet remaining
in Burlington, has not materially changed. Ev
ery attention and kindness that a generous and
humane people oaa bestow, is liberally extended
by the good eitize&B of our sister city, each en
deavoring to outvie the other in noble acts of
philanthropy, •!
We are pained toadd that our prediction as to
the condition of Mrs. Gillespie, of Mississippi,
has proved true. Yesterday morning, her left
leg was amputated by Dr. Paul Goddard, assist
ed by Dr. John Neill and others. She bore the
operation with an extraordinary degree of forti
tude.
Mr. Gillespie, her husband, whoso log was
amputated tho previous evening, U rapidly sink
ing, and it seems almost impossible for the re
oovery of either. This is, indeed, a sad and
•truly distressing case. Husband and wife, in
years advanced, far from homo, bat not without
kind friends, suffering under such awful circum
stances, oanoot bo otherwise than harrowing to
the feelings of the most stout-hearted.
Both of the above are at the house of Mrs.
Margaret Smith, Main street, below the railroad
depot, where every attention is paid to them.
Mr. Otis Fisk, of Middletown, Conn., had a
portion of his foot amputated on Thursday nigbt.
He is at the house of Caleb R. Smith. Seems to
be easy, and in a fair way to reoover.
Mtb. Boyoe, of Georgetown, I). C., was some
| what better yesterday.
Lewis Lichtenstein, of Riohmond, Va., was
able to walk about yestorday, and will leave for
home to day.
Mrs. Phillips was leeched yesterday, and
seems to be improving. Her little daughter was
taken to Philadelphia on Thursday night. Mrs
P. is at the Railroad Hotel.
The body of Hughes B. Jervis, of Newark,
Delaware, was olearly identified by Mr. Hagh
8. M’Cauley, of tho firm of M’Cauley & Camp
bell, Fourth and Market streets, Philadelphia.
His remains have been sent home. As there
were doubts about the identification of the body,
we deem it \ roper to say that Mr. M’C. fully
satisfied all upon that point. Mr. M’C. was
deeply affeotod when the remains of his friend
were showu him. -
John Pugh, of Sohuylkill county, and Dennis
O’Kane, of Georgetown, are about the same.
Hon. Wo. B Maclay, of New York, now at
the house of Col. James Wail, Is in excellent
spirits, and will no doubt be soon able to reach
his home. He is in good hands, and will receive
every attention from Col. W.
Charles Dixey, of Philadelphia, at Mrs. Reid's,
Main street, below Broad, is not so well as re
port last announced him.
The youth found in the vicinity of the acci
dent, and who gave his name as Chambers, is
believed to be John Mills, aged G years, whose
mother, Alice Mills, resides a ehort distance
from Bordentowa, at whioh place ho was lost on
tho evening of tho 29th iusL Ho is now at the
residence of Dr. CbaloQer.
William A. Haghes, of Boston, whose arm
was brokeo and otherwise iDjured, returned to
his home yesterday.
Mr. Gillespie, of Mississippi, mado a wilt
yesterday afternoon, bequcatbtDg property to
the amount of $600,000, believing that his end
was near approaching* He has sustained tho
sad fiffliotion with manly fortitude.
Philadelphia, September 1, 1856 —John* F.
Gillespie, of N'atcbcz, a victim of the disaster
ai Burlington, died at two o’olook this afternoon.
His wife is failing fast, and will not probably
reoover.
Much confusion has arisen regarding the body
of Mr. Humphrey, it being olaimed undor four
different names by no less than four persons.
His body is retained by tho oorooer for mere
perfeot identification.
A Kansas Judge Denying the Authority
of the President.
We have before mentioned that Hon. Hash
Elmore, one of the Judges of Kansas, bad been
removed by President Pierce for the same of
fence charged against cx Governor P.eodor, via:
speculation in the pnblio lands. It seems he de
nies tbc power of the President to remove him,
and being backed by tho tot disant legislature of
Kansas, dttiea the Federal authorities. Mr
Elmore is a Virginian, hence we hoar uo bowl
from the abolitionists against bis removal. But
here is his letter to tho Attorney General of the
United States.
BllAWh'fiK MItJSIUS, Aug lid, IH.V>.
Sir —i received yoQTs of ihc oth on the 20ih
i did not explanations and reasons
assignod in of the 11th of
July to have been satisfactory to tho President,
for i felt coctident that tho President's course
being dictatod altogether by political policy
whioh would not be successful without tho re
movai of an equal number of Territorial ofli
cera from the North and from tho Bouth, was
fully determined upon (ex parte as it evidently
was) on the date of your letter of the 1 4th of
June, and 1 gave the statement of the facts, and
the reason which indnoed mo to become a parly
to those contracts in the way of explanations,
so that the facts and my reasons might be placed
on file in the Department.
Tho Legislature has deemed it proper and
right to locate tho seat of juslioo In and for the
county of Calhoun at the town of Calhoun—a
town laid oat on tho reserve granted to.the half
breed Kansas Indians, (in whioh neither of the
parties to tho contracts heretofore submitted by
Gov. Reeder and others have any interest what
soever,) and surety they would not have done
so if they had ooneeived for one moment that by
so doing they apparently violated tho act® of
Congress, ortbe Regulations of the Department.
I asked, for information, what act ot Congress
and what regulations of the Department /.hod
opparontiy violated, and l oonslder that I had a
right to expeot that I should receive such iafor
motion, and, as it is, has not boon given, I mast
think that 1 have not apparently violated evon
the spirit of a single act of Congress or regula
tion of the Department, otherwise the informa
tion would have been Imparted in your loiter of
tho t>tb instant.
The ‘27th section of tho act known as the Ne
braska and Kansas Aot fixes tho tenure of offioe
of the Judges of tho Supremo Court In these
words, “ and they shall hold their office for the
period of four years, find until their successors
shall be appointed and qualified.” No power is
given by the bill to the President to remove.
And if you examine the tenuro of offioe of the
Governor, the Secretary, tho District Attorney
and Marshal, you will see a marked ditferonoe.
The power to remove all and each of these offi
cers Is expressly retained in these words, “ un
less sooner removed by the President. fBee]the
20,-21, 27 and 29th scotions: pamphlet aots
1853-4, p. 284.)
I must think, if the English language means
anything, that tho President has not the power
or the right .to remove tho Judges of this Terri
tory at his will and pleasure; and, as the Ter
ritorial Legislature has deemed it right and
proper to express an opinion on the subject
which is contained in the resolutions herewith
enclosed, I oannot ooDsent to the action of the
President, and i hereby give notice that 1 shall
resist this action through the oourts of tho

Greeley at a Donee House.
Our neighbor Greeley gives, in the Tribune,
an-interesting account of a visit be paid to the
Cromorne Gordons during hie recent stay in
London. Ho says there were ovor three thou
sand persons present there, inoluding a thousand
women, the majority of whom were manifestly
lost to virtno, if not dead to shame. Ho says:
11 The English are not skiilfol in varnishing
vioe—at least, I have seen no evidenoe of their
taot in that line. 1 endured the Bpectaole of
men danoing with women when rather beery
and smoking; hut at last the sight of a dark
and by no means elegant mulatto waltzing with
a decent looking white girl, while pnffiog away
at a rather bad olgar, proved too muoh for my
Vankee prejudice, and 1 started."
Tina shows how shockingly mon may bo mis
understood. Tho popular notion hereabouts is
that the prejndioe whioh actually proved 100
muoh for Mr. Greeley, was the last one to which
he would bo likely to yield. If he had “ start
ed ” at tho sight of the nnvirtuous women,—or
of the beor and smoko, nobody wouldhave eo
surprißOd ; but that he should stand ft * ’,
finally be upset by the eight of a ““ a, ‘°
oingwith a decent looking whi e girl ;i centra
diets all the popular notions of hi P
Yankee prejudice, after »U.
querable York Times.

Kenneth Kayner on Religious proscrlp-
The following extract from a speech of the
Hon. Kenneth Rayoer, delivered in ibe North
Carolina Constitutional Convention in 1835, on
the question of removing Catholio disabilities,
contains, ss-the Mobile Regleter well says, noble
sentiments:
But it is said, if tho Catholic is exoludoJ from
offioe, that will not deprive him of the right of
worshipping God according to the dictates of |
hia conscience. Sir, the right of worshipping
God, free from all personal pains and penalties,
is a right which can now bo enjoyed in any
country in Christendom. An exelusion from
the honors, the profits and emoluments of the State
is the highest persecution which public opinion will
tolerate in any Christian country tn this enlightened
age. So that if you sanotion the principle
recognized in the thirty-second article, you use
the rod of persecution with a a unsparing a hand
as it is used in Spain or tho States of the
oburoh. And if you exolude one eeot, why not
another and another, and finally all except one 7
It was a favorite saying of Napoleon that there
was but one step from the flublimo to the ridicu
lous: and on the same principle thore is but one
stop from religious freedom'to the most bitter
and intolerant persecution.
Retain that artiole, and 1 assert it that the
Catholio and the Jew will be placed under the
ban of proscription, no matter how great may
be his merits ; although he may pour out blood
like water in her defense; yet, for daring to
worship God aooording to tho diotates of his
own oonsoieoce, you cut him off from all hope
of political preferment, and from all stimulus to
a laudable ambitiou. Like the Israelites in
Egypt, he will bo oppressed by the land in whioh
he lives, the soil on whioh ho treads, and like
them he will have no other resource left but to
turn his baok upon the graves of hia fathers,
and take up his march for some more tolerant
clime. Sir, the exoluaion from offioe for
opinion’s sako, in this enlightened age procoeds
from the same spirit of bigotry aod superstition
whioh has preyed upon mankind from tho build
ing of Babel to the present time; it is the same
spirit which presented the cup to Boorates, con
finod Galileo in his dungeon, which bound Cran
mer to the stake of martyrdom, whioh drove
the Huguenots from France—nay, more, Sir, it
is tho same spirit which lod the riaviour of the
world to Calvary's awful summit. Sir, what
must be the situation of the immigrant who
comes to this country for tho sake of religious
freedom, if the appearance of the good old
North State should induce him to make it hie
home’ Will he not wish himself across the
waters again, that “after life's fitful fever iB
o’er" ho may lay his bones with those of his
fathers? What must be tho feelings of the
pbus mother, when looking on her tender infant
whom she believes her duty to her God enjoins
her to train up in the same way which has se
cured poaoe to her own bosom —what most be
her agonizing feelings when she retleots that by
so doing she is consigning him to obscurity
forever?
Sir, I would ask the Convention whether this
proscription is in accordance with the holy pre
cepts of the requirements of tbc Gospel 9 Does
it accord with that benevoleoco for the human
family, that charity for others, without whioh
the Apostle Bays a practical exorcise of all Chris
tian duties, coupled with a faith strong enough
to remove mountains is “as soundlog brass and
tinkling oymbals.”
Sir, Is this convention ready to incorporate
into our fundamental law the dootrine that hon
esty, capability, and faithfulness to tho Consti
tution, is not a sufficient qualification for office,
but that ho who obtaios it most abjure to a cer
tain particular faith” Sir, who constituted us
judges of the hearts and oonscieooes of meu”
What right have we to impugn the motives of
our fellow-men? it Is 'asserting one of tho at
tributes of the Deity itself, for it is the Lord
alone that poudereth the heart. Sir, you may
carry on this system of persecution, but there
is one point which you cannot tether the mind ;
fetters cannot bind it; tyrants cannot enchain
it; dungeons oauoot confine it; it will rise su
perior to the power of fato, and aspire to him
Who gave it.
A BnisoNns RabßAsau. —Rather more than
three years since, a printer connected with this
journal burled a tiro toad in hig gardcu. It
was oovered up about two foot heiow tho surface
without anything as a protection against the
pressure of the earth, and, on being dug up a
few days ago, the loathsome oreatnre, after
staring for a moment with its bright, beautiful
oyos, leaped away aa nimbly as if it had been
orosaing a foot-path. We aro quite aware That
toads have been found alive after mare than
three years’ confinement, some of them having
been found in the heart of rooks, where they
mast have remained for thousands of years;
but tho experiment rcoorded is nevertheless
interesting, as it stfords so additional conflrma
tion of ono of the most inexplicable f&ots in ani
mated nature. Above the toad’s grave the
tlowets of three summers have grown; hearts
easo and mint bavo etrnak down their roots to
wards' tho reptile, but were far from reaching
its narrow honso, in whioh, if undisturbed, it
mighthave slept and lived for innumerable agos,
till, pwbaps, released by a oonvulsion of nature,
raising want was onoe Morayshire from under
the waters of the ocean. Man has been oallod
the tenant of a olay that—hie lifo, if compared
with goolpgioal opophs, ia than instant. It is
otherwise with toads that we spurn from our
feet, for when buried alive, they have an im
mortality whioh may ooutinno till tho elements
melt with forvoDtheat, and the whole framework
of naiare bo disserved. —Elgin Couram.
GntSSnorpuns.—Those depredators have been
much left injurious than ÜBual in all thooouotry
east Of tho Rocky Mountains. In California,
Utah,lffQd Oregon, on tho oontrary, thoy havo
been so‘abundant os to amount to a pestilence.
California has suffered exceedingly, while in the
Mornfhn Territory they have sorioualy threaten
ed to produoe fomlno. Oar latest accounts from
Salt lake represent them as destroying oil kinds
of Brain and vegetables. It h»s beon proposod
tobrr&iervo them In a dried stato, to be eaten as
food after the manner of using locusts in some
pafta-of tho Eastern World. It is feared tho
Sties* the Grasshoppers an. themselves turned
to account as food, there will not bo Bufficcut

Gits at Stxamboat Speed.—Tho steamer Com
monwealth, running between New York and Al
lyn’siPoint, on the Worcester and Norwioh line
fromfposton to New York, recently made the
whole distance, 188 miles, in six hours and twelve
minutes, inclusive of a stop at New London. The
average rate of speed was 22 miles per hour.
This is the fastest time on record. ’

Inhalation for Diseased Lungs.
The mode of Inhalation, in cases of diseased longs and
throat, recommended by Dr. Curtis in his advertisement,
strikes us as the true one. It U now generally admitted by
our best phyt-iclans, that local difficulties can only be sue*
cessfully treated by local applications. This practice has
been pursued from the first with respect to oiternaitoflam-
mutlon and corrosions, and we see not why diseases of the
throat and lungs may not be treated in the same manner!
we believe they may. In this variable climate of ours,
where luog and throat complaints have become so preva
lent and rife, we earnestly recommend to the public, and
to o.it Qjlltc'.ed especially, to avail themselves of Dr. Curds 1
