Humour and PoUSics. . The Editor of ihc Niles (Mich.)'Conrier, a Whig paper, thus humorous-ly alludes to his Josses on the recent eioction : The Locofocos round this town are "ottin" quite dressy, while the Whigs look as poor as church mice. Well, we won't grow! ; but il crates confounded hard to rig a fellow out from Jiead to foot, aud then havo him cut your ac quaintance." Another Ulisrder.

From computations ba5ed upon the amount t tides, is highly probable that the Atlantic aud pacific Oceans are, in their central parts, not Ipss than niuo or ten miles in depth. Were we to place the average depth of the Ocean at lire miles, it would doubtless be a moderate es tate. In superficial extent it covers full three- . . . t .! f A l, hs (il me earths suriace. Assuming, then, tire miles as ihe average depth of the Ocean, inTas-raajfe Extraordinary. A few Sunday mornings since, as a large number of emigrants with their waggons, cat tle, &c., were journeying through Mississippi on their way io Arkansas, and shortly after passing through a small town, it suddenly oc curred to two of the party a young mail and a young woman who had been for a while greatly troubled with the snares of Master Cu pid, that they tould go no 'further unites they were converted into one ! A hall was therefore called, the difficulty made known, aud a mes sage despatched back for a 'Squire. In a short time the ollit er appealed, and in the presence of a large company, in the open, road, he pro nounced Win. A Moles and Nancy Plant man and wife. After the "knot was tied," says the Yazoo Banner, the father of the bride invited all who yoied for Clay to come forward aud "salute" her ; and all who voted for Polk to u-iake a buss at hi old woman." The scene closed by a general distribution among the company ofnu merous slices of gingerbread, in lieu of the bride's cake, and the happy pair, accompanied by their friends, resumed their journey. May William find the climato of his new home con genial to his young and tender Plant. N. 0. Picayune. VlT" DELAY IS DANGEROUS." If it is a truth that punctuality is the life of business, it is not less the case that delay is dangerous, and is oftentimes productive of ruin. But what is the destruction of business to the loss of health and life ? Kow often does a cough, which at its ap pearance seems slight, and not worthy of notice, lead, by neglect, to the most fearful consequences 1 Thousands in this way have gone down to an un timely grave, when by the use of a little care their slight coughs might have been cured, and health perfectly restored. Dr Sherman's Cough Lo zenges will not only cure slight coughs they have also been the means of raising up many from the verge of the grave, whose lives were despaired of by their friends. 13ut few remedies have ever been discovered that are so effectual and so con venient to take.

The whole amount of toll received on the ar ticle of coal transported on the several lines of improvement in this commonwealth, during the past fiscal year, was 5158,130. The toll re ceived on iron, on the line for the same period, was 64,37iS. The increase in the quantity of coal shipped on the public works during the year, as compared wiih the preceding year, 166,000 tons ; and of ironing the increase is nearly G8 millions of pounds. lays taking the proper remedies because of their unpleasantners, is inexcusable.

Worms Mill TSaoiasaaids. CHILDREN are most subject to them, but per sons of all ages are liable to be afflicted with them. Uad breath, paleness about the lips, flush ed cheeks, picking at the nose, wasting away, leanness, pain in the bowels, joints or limbs,dis turbed sleep, frightful dreams, moaning and some times a voracious appetite, are among the symp tomps of worms. -Many are doctored for months for some oilier imaginary disease, when one Jbox of Sherman's Worm Lozenges would effect a cure. Dr. Ryan, corner of Prince street and the Bowery, cured a man of worms that was reduced to a skel eton, and;by only one box ofShertnan's Lozenges: he is now as fat as an alderman. The Hon B. IS. Beardsley has saved the life of one of his chil dren by them. The sale of over 2,000,000 of boxes has fully tested them. They are the only infalli ble worm destroying medicine known. What family will be without them 1 Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Whooping Coughs, Asthma, and all affections of the lungs, will find a healing value in Sherman's Cough Lozenges. They saved the Rev. Richard De Forrest, the Rev. Mr. Streeter, Jonathan Ifowarth, Esq., and that worthy old hero, Leonard Rogers, from the consumptive's ginve. They cured intone clay, the Rev. Mr. Dunbar, the Rev. Mr. Ifandcock, Wm. II. Attree, Esq., of distressing coughs. They are the pleasantcst cough medicine and cure the soon est of any known remedy. Headache, Sea-sickness and Palpitation, re lieved in from five to ton minutes by Sherman's Camphor Lozenges. Persons attending crowded rooms or travelling will find them to impart buoy ancy of spit its and renew their energies Those suffering from loo free living will find a few of the lozenges to dispel the horrors and lowness of spirits. Mr. Krauth, of the Sunday Mercury, has repeatedly cured himself of severe headache by them. Captain Chad wick, of the packet ship Wellington, lias witnessed their efficacy in a great many cases of sea-sickness. They operate like a charm upon the ajjitated or shattered nerves, as Sherman's Poor Man's Piaster does upon rheu-j matism, lumbago, pain or weakness m the side, back, breast, or any part of the body. Mr. II. G. Daggers, 30 Ann street, Henry R. Goulding, 354 Chatham street, Moses J. Ilenriques, Esq., and aj multitude ol others nave experienced tne wonder ful effects of these Plasters. Price only 12 1-2 cents. Caution is necessary to see that you get the genuine Sherman's Lozenges and Plasters, as there are mnny worthless articles attempted to be palmed off in place of them, by those who would trifle with vour life for a shiiling.
