TABS PARTICTULAII NOTICE. These are some of the sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, vis : weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the head, dimnets,of eight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepeia, nervous Irritability, symptoms of consumption, &o. filiOnALLT.—The fearful effects on the'mind are much to be dreaded—loes of memory, con fusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil fore bodings, aversion to society, self distrust, love of solitude, timidity, &a., are some of the evils produced. Who have injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone, a habit fre quently learned from evil comps:Mons, or at school, the e ff ects of which are nightly felt, even when Weep, and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately.

Ruch persons suer, before contem plating MA RRYAGE, Reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage : the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair`and filled with the melancholy reflection that the happbiese of another become blighted with our own. - DISEASE O 1 DORMANCY& When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that an Mimed sense of shame or the dread of dis covery deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him. He falls into the hands of igno- rant andilesigning pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fllch his pecuniary substance, keep him trifling; month after month, or as long as the smallest fee can-be obtained, and in despair leave him with ruined health to sigh over his galling disappointment, or, by the use of -the deadly poison, Mercury, hasten the constitu tional symptoms of this terrible disease, such as affections of the Head, Throat, Nose, Oldn, etc.. progressing with frightful rapidity till death puts a - period to his dreadful sufferings by send ing him to that undiscovered country 'from whence no traveller returns. - INDOESEKENT OF THE PEW.

Two refugees arrived'in Norfolk to-day from Richmond; who were born lai"Otwada. They report that the rebel government is terribly frightened about Churleston, and say if it is taken all is lost. A guard is kept about the residence of Jeff. Davis night and, day. There are very few troops ,in or about Rich, mond, and only one brigade between there and Petersburg. .3 , JEWELERS Rebellion Against Davis at the There are some persons who are inclined. to donbt the accuracy of the published statementa that a marked change of sentiment, is going on throughout the South, leading to wholesale de-. sertions from the rebel ,armies, the formatiort of T organised bodies of malcontents, and the oven resistance, in someplace% of the rebel en thority. .That this spirit of ; rebellion, however, is actually abroad in the Southern States, is ca pable of easy demonstration. A letter found in Port Hudson by a Massachnsetta soldier, and by , him sent to the Boston Traveler, shows that as along ago as last February conscripts in Louisi ana banded together and defied the Davis Gov ! ornment. _ . , "PORT HODSON, Feb. 9, 1868.

There is a regular day and hour sue cified for the sale of thread, and nt those times the :eagerness to get a "hund!e" of threw i in exchange' for $lO is as great as was the desire of your traders to get the first issues of postal currency. This is described Ly "Nlesporie" thus`. . The iadalthy lady stoops from her can iage ar- d directs her escort to tell Mr. Kirkman tn:,t M rs. Bich-enough-to-buy you desires a bundle, 3 she returns at once to - the country. But as thu distribution is madeby honest citizens, no par. Manly is observable. During much wrangling and dispute, the fifty bundles are sold, the coun try people having the preference, and the crowd of a hundred or so unsuccessful persons dispersed to try for better snows upon the ensuing dis tribution day. You see now the sequel. A wagon laden with vegetables, etc., calls at every house. "How much do yon ask for butter I"' "A dollar a pound for thread !" "I'll give' you Six hanks of it for es many pounds of butter." The offer is eagerly accepted, and a hank of thread, which costs forty cents, buys a pound of butter. Such is the origin and operation of tour thread currency. To keep your table sup - 'plied; you must present yourself at the thread distribution, and continue to do so until sue icessful, and then you have the panacea for all !wants.— Correspondence of the Nobile Evening News. •LT • OVKLunODE OF SLAUGHTERING —Dr. Carson, at. eminent English physician and physiologist, ,:who is said to have contributed no sma amount !of valuable information to the medical and Iphyrdological literature of England, has recently suggested a plan, the result of much personal study and experiment, by which animals in ' kended for the provision. market may be so ifbutghtered as at once to cause death with the petit amount of pain, and greatly improve the !quality of the meat — The proc-es recommend .. 4s theadarissiOrrof striate thethroat of the animal, by means of puncturing between the ribs, whereby the lungs are collapted, and can not be again inflated. Simultaneously with this ipuncturing, the spinal marrow at the junction of the skull with the first joint of the neck is severed by means of a short knife, which pro duces instantaneous paralysis and almost im mediate death. The physiological explanation ,of this process is the sudden stoppage of breath ling, and the immediate- suspension of the cir tulation of the blood, by which all the veinous or carbonated blood is prevented from entering the lungs, and is drained off frcm the carcase, ,while the arterial blood and sanguineons lymph lye retained, which, it is said, renders the flesh ,more succulent and nutritious than ; when it is completely drained of the fluids named, as in the ordinary way. 'lt is also said by the butch ers who have practiced this mode •of killing, that the - meat so prepared sets sooner and keeps longer. Arnim TO ASSASSINATE GENICRAT WHIPPLE.- The Miners 'Journa/, of Pottsville, Pa., reports: General Whipple, commander; of this military post, on Saturday last rode out with one of his staff to York Farm, inthe afternoon, and while sitting on his horse viewing the scenery, pop went a gun in the distance, and a ball whizzed past him. His first impression was that some one was at target practice, bat did not dream that he was the mark, until another leaden measoriger . came hamming along in such close proximity to the General's body that he was forced to the conclusion that he was being tired at, and by a good marksman. A "change of base" was resolved upon, and as the General turned his horse to come into town, a third ball came so near the General's person as to cause him to remark that he thought be had never made a more narrow escape. A Copper head no doubt was trying his maiden hand at Murder. A Vxawowr Mum= claims to have invented a self-propelling wheel, or perpetual motion.— Et correspondent of the Boston Jourea2 thus decribes it: It is a simple wheel, runs ou gudg eons, and is independent of any outside spring, weight or power, as a propeller. • On the same axle on which the metal wheel is fixed is a band .wheel, on which a band runs over a small put • ley that drives a small circular saw. Set it on a table and remove the brake, and it will start itself and run with great velocity, driving the saw. It is the simplest thing in the world, bat I cannot intelligibly describe it; but it is at once understood by the beholder. It will not, nay, cannot stop without a brake, as it so fixed by means of balls and arms that the descending side of the wheel is perpetually farther from the centre of the motion than the emending.
