SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, WIS
- Cots crexace.—lVbether the whigs of Cincinnati
to/lowed the magnificent example of the whigs of this
city.-or whether it was a mere conicidence, arising
from the allisemding propensity of the whig party ,
for mean tricks and small potatoes, we cannot any— LIT'S SHOOT AHD FRIGHTS!! HIR!"--The most as

*big councils of that town. Like Mr Gt.r.sx, in this
city, the Hay Weigher in Cincinnati held the office
for many years—and discharged its simple duties
with the strictest care and fidelity. Like blr GLENN,
too, he was a poor man, and, we infer from the notice
of the proceedings in the Cincinnati papers, that he is
lux very well able to procure or pursue another calling.
As in the case of Mr GLENS, too, the proscriptive. ofi
the wittily , party, have been showing their teeth at him
for years, snarling savagely, and barking loudly when-,
everiarant election gave them hopes of carrying out
thee._ exalted and liberal views. But the tear of incur
ing the contempt of all right-minded people kept diens
in check, until the late election, and the defeat of the
_ "splendid Harry" moved them to compass an act of,
retaliation worthy of their great defeated leader.- 1
Thee, with desperate energy they went to work, and
accomplished their "great revenge"—then the Hay
Weighers of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were made to
taste the bitter cup of retribUtion—theysavre made to
feel how "sharper than a serpent's tooth it is," to stir
up the slumbering vengeance of the great, the long
suffering, the magnanimous whig party. If a Demo
crat says to a whig, -You are again defeated,—your
Bankism, and other corrupt principles, your tergiver
sations and your intrigues have broken you down"—
the wßigcan retort, "What of that? Have we not
turned ont the Hay Weighers of Pittsburgh end Cin
cinnati!" If a Democrat says that "Clay's Bargain
and Sale in '24—his needless bitterness to Jackson,
his inconsistencies on the Texas question, have
%Ticked and ruined him"—the whigs will reply,
"Have we not revenged him? Hav'nt we pot down
Mr qt,rea and the other Hay-Weigher as low as Mr
CLar is?" Who will not say, in view of this Coin- ,
cidenas, &tithe whig puny has a right to the prefix
..„.,,,e,-"w"--who will not say that they evince a 'uni
venal' leanieg &Doman and petty proceedings?
EXIIITHER IFFACTe or POLK'S ELICTION.—A cot
ton factory, the first ever built in that city, has just
been put in operation in St Louis, 510. It is confined
to the spinning of cotton-yarn, and now turns out daily
100 bundles. It gives employment to 25 hands now,
and it is expected that more spindles will be started ,
end more bands employed, in a short time. This is
not t- very large concern, to.be-sure, but it is a very
large undertaking if any reliance were to be placed
on the predictions of the panic whigs. And then, the
folks of the "Queen city" have been starting a factory
too. 'A mill has been recently erected in Cincinnati,
for the Manufacture of cotton cloth, styled the "Frank
lin Factory." It is 150 feet long by 51 feet wide,
eand - fire-stoties high. Some idea of the business to
be tarite . 41 on in this establishment may be formed
frosts the fact that 240 looms and 9.311 spindles will
be-constantly kept in operation. It is expected that
for slisesand yards of sheeting will be made i•teh
meet*. At-Ibis rate, regularly kept going, it will turn
not about two millions of yards of sheeting per annum;
and to do this it will employ three hundred persons.
The proprietors of this extensive factory are Messrs.
Harkness, Strader Sc Fosdick.
So much for the havoc Pulk's election has made
upon manufactures. Now let us see what it has done
towards ruining commerce. A New York paper of
this week tells us of a large fleet of vessels arrived
there, between Sunday and 51onday forenoons, consi.-
ring of 11 ahips, 13 barks, 18 brigs, 40 seism.,
sloops—Total, 110. Among them two packets from
Liverpool, one from Havre, and one from London.
It wee a fortunate circumstance, that a powerful rain
fell on Saturday night, which destroyed the ice and
rendered the bayand harbor navigable and safe. At
no time within the previous 10 days , could these yea
st& have reached the city, but now the ice has distil).
peered, and they all came up to the dock in safety._
Sunday morning presented a magnificent sight, the
bay and harbor appeared studded with vessels of every
sine, all crowding to the city. The pilots had a rich
barren; there were more vessels than pilots, and ma
ny of the coasting crafts came up without having been
Weeded,
The large number of arrivals at this port will swell
the collections of the revenue the coming week far bi
youd that of the past two weeks. The receipts for
the week ending February Isth, were $140,394 54.
The ships just in have very full cargoes. The freight
list of the Montezuma was £2000; and that of the
Hoseins £1257. The other ships had equally good
lists, and judging from the importations for the com
ing spring will equal those of 1841. The Custom
House presented a most busy scene on Monday.—
Twenty-emu vessels, from domestic Southern ports, .
took out permits to land, and twenty-three from fur
.eign ports.

the business will be conducted with skill and energy.

of the Mutual Labor Engine Company, evinced their
industry and good workmanship, and now, when they
have so organized themselves that each ma, will obtain

those qualities, and in a greater degree then the old

young men being out a-gunning, near Tyleraville, saw
a young lady, Miss Jane °mot, go from her father's
house into an out building from which they were die
t tent some twenty-five yards. One of the young fellows
proposed that , they should "sl&oot and frigkie,s ker,"
whereupon one of his comrades, Mr. GLOROR BROWN,
levelled his rifle, and charged it with most fatal con
, sequences—shooting the unfortunate young lady direct
ly through the heart. She lay where she fell, a victim
to the shocking act of recklessness, from two o'clock,
P. M. until seven, without the' calamity being discover

This isa terribly impressive lesson as to careless
shooting and "frightening!"
J. T. FULTON, late an inn-keeper in Lewiston, has
strangely absented himself—it is rumored for the dou
ble purpose of avoiding his debts, and getting rid of a
prosecution for illegal voting. He was an importation
from Canada originally, and in his zeal to promote the
whig cause at the last election, created a very strong
necessity for going back again.—Lockport Democrat.
[lf the Whigs could succeed in their efforts to an
nex Canada, Mr. Altos would have stood no chance
to escape the penalty of his villanous labors in the
whig cause. They should provide some refuge for
such detected pipelayers, before they indulge in the wit
ty amusement of petitioning fur the annexation of the
British provinces. If Coupe's should take *bent at
their word, they would be in a bad predicament.]

Ricer in the Park, after the Philadelphia mode, and
immediately he became theohject upon which all the

and, he adds, that his skating introduced to him more

severely, but not dangerously wounded. The scow,-

It hes long been a subject of surprise, that gas has
never been introduced in our Light Houses. Aside
from the very insufficient illuminative power possessed
by oil, and the difficulty during the intense cold of
winter, in keeping itin a fluid state, it appears to us
that oil should have long since beem discarded, from
the mere consideration of the danger from a failure of

England, it will be remembered that , our whalers its

CHIN C3t SURGIRT. A work has iecently been re
published in London, giving an account of along resi
dence in China, with a description of the manners,
prejudices and institutions of the Celestial Empire.—
The book is written by a learned Catholic Priest—
Father Ripe, and was fast published in Naples, being
thought worthy of a translation. Many portions are
intensely interesting and fell of instruction. We quote
the Father's curious account of the mode of treatment
to which he was subjected by a Chinese surgeon, for
a severe welded be received in his head by a fall from
his horse:
"When I recovevied my sense., I band myself in a
house, bat everything appeared dark and indistinct,
and 1 felt as if 1 bad fallenfrom my horse two months
before. The Emperor sent ins a Tartar surgeon, for
he and his Court were fully persuaded that for falls
Tartar surgeons were better thane And, to
confess the truth, although the mode of treatment was
of a barbarous description, and sone of the reenqdies
appeared useless, I was cured in a very short time.—
This surgeon made me sit up in my bed, placing near
the a large basin filled with water, in which be put a
thick piece of ice, to reduce it to a freezing point.—
Then stripping me to to-waist, he made me stretch my
neck over the basin, and, with a cup, he continued
for *good while to pour the water on my neck. The
The pain cataisti by this operation upon those nerves
which take their rise from the pia•mater, was sir
great and Insufferable, that it seemed to me un
equalled.
The surgeon said that th's would staunch the blood
and restore me to thy senses, which was actually the
case, for in a short time my sight became clear, and
! my mind resumed its powers. He next bound my

i boast with a band, drawn tight by two men, who held
tho ends, while he struck the intermediate part vigor
ously with a piece of wood, which shook my head vi
olently, and , gave me dreadful pain. This, if I re•
member rightly, ho said was to 'set the brain, which
he supposed had been displaced. It is true, bowever,
thatafter this second operation my head felt more free.
A third operation was now performed, during
which hetnatie me, still stripped to the waist, walk in
the open air, supported by two persons; and while
thus walking be unexpectedly threw a bowl of cold
freezing water over my breast. As this , caused me
to draw my breath with great vehemence, and as ley

imagined what were any sufferings ' wider this iodic-

A storm, probably put np for August, Arled off the
shelf on Saturday night, the 15th, and waked the city
thoroughly up, Hon Moses H Grinnell, we under

the impression that his own house was struck with
lightning, rushed np stairs and found bid Irish man
servant sitting up in bed, and exclaiming, "My God!
I wonder if the world is really come to an end.' The
roof over the bed. was open to the sky; the articles of
furniture in the room were strewn around in fragments;
clothes, bun,g up, were dislodged, and it appeared that
a current of lightning had circled around this room in
the attic, leaving tbe sleeper safe on his feather bed—
It was found in the morning that the pillars of the
dormer-window were thrown across the street, that the
basement windows were all broken, and that the light
ning had burnt holes through an iron pillar in front of
the house in College Place. A holm- in Hester street
was also struck, and a - sloop, lying at one of the
wharves.—N Y Minton. •

the sun looked down as pleasantly on one as on the

round the grave of the rich man. They were both e

of the destinies to which they had passed; of that
state in which temporal distinctions exists not; tem
poral honors are regarded not. Where pride and all
the circumstances which surrounded this life never find

indeed as an atom in the sunbeam, compared with
