A Touctusa INcibENT.—On Sabbath
evening, about 7 o'clock, a little daughter
of Mr. Patrick Milligan, residing at No 1,
North Federal Court, aged 2 years, crept
into a small hole under the floor in the
rear of the building, after a favorite cat,
which with its litter of kittens, occupied
the place. The entrance was so small as
barely admit the body of the child, and
once in it was impossible for her to turn
round. Not knowing enough to back out,
the poor child remained in this confined
situation until 10 o'clock Monday morning.
In the meantime the alarmed parents,assis
,
by the neighbors, made a diligent search
for the miring child, the services of the
City Crier being also called to their aid,
but without effect. Almost despairing
and hopeless of success, the father contin
ued the search, mourning and calling,upon
his beloved child, when lie heard a faint
reply. Directed by the voice, the lost one
was at length found, after heing thirteen
hours in that perilous position. When
taken out the little sufferer was quite cx
hausted.—Boston Mail.
A PATRIOT'S FAMILY.—TIIC BOOMSI iCk
(\'lo.) Tines states, that there is now liv
ing in Prairie township, Howard county,
one of Hartner's old soldiers, who is yet
hearty and active—"has twenty-two chil
dren, seventy grand children and twenty
nine great !fraud children—making a total
done hundred and twenty-one children,
grand children and great grand children.—
Six of the old man's children are •iet sin
gle. Fifty-five of the nund,ky are now
living in Prairie township, none of whom
are tinctured with modern Democracy or
British free-trade, and only one in the
township who has married a man tinctu
red with that abominable doctrine.''
Mormsrv•—An ancient poet relates that
the flowers once had a grand muster and
inspection before Juno, who was to decide
which was the most beautiful. The vio
let hid herself among the green grass, and
did not ofil‘T to contend. "When the grand
procession of beatifies was filing along
before the goddess, the violet peeped out
furtively, saying to herself: '4'll just look
at thew .pass.'' She was seen by the Ce
festial Queen, and crowned the fairest of
the fair. Such is the face of modes:ty.
A TARIFF ON TIIE is said
that the railroad companies down east hirve
resolved to raise the iiire.upon every lady
wearing more than twenty petticoats. The
excitement in reference to this matter is
becoming very strong, and. there is some
ta!k of public indignation tacetimrs in con

A ssiDuErY • dIND PERSEVERANCE.—THE
most usual way among young men who

to ask one friend's advice and,f o llow it for

and turn to that; so of a third ; still un

E NVY.--W herefore envies L thou thy
neighbor's prosperity ? if he has more
business and inure money than thyself, re
memher he has more cares. From the
root of envy spring a score of evils, that
embitter life and make it wretched. Be
then content ‘uith what thou hast, audit' thy
increase should ever be greater, do not for
get thy once lonely lot, and act accotd
ing,ly to those who are below thee. Again
would we guard thee to beware of envious
feoings.

pondent infOrms the New York Sun that
after drying his potatoes a few hours in the
field, he pl•iced them in barrels, distribu
ting in each barrel half-peck of quick lime
well mixed, with an equal quantity of
powdered charcoal, which kept the pota
toes sound all the year. Ile thinks the

trit. seems, too, that Locofocoism in Ohio is
about on the same footing as it is in New York,
judging from the doings of a late meeting of
its votaries at Cincinnati, which we find reported
as follows :
A disgraceful fight took place at Cincin
nati on the 31st ult., between some of the
"harmonious Democracy," which as usu
al, came to loggerheads. A Mr. J. B. War
ner, a candidate for the Legislature, and
Mr. Wm. Lilley, a promimint Locofoco,
were the combatants. The latter struck
the former with a hickory cane, and the for
mer gave point to his pugnacious propensi. ,
ites, by the use of a small knife, with which
he performed some rough surgical operations
on Mr. Lilley's flesh, with no othereffeet or
danger, however, than a lancet well applied
would produce. As the contest closed ve
ry soon after, it is supposed that the slight
loss of blood, and fear, paled the Lilley's
cheek, and caused him to beat a retreat.

THE ADVANTAGES OF LONG HAIR.--"No

an old fashioned gentleman, a day or two
ago, to a dandy who had more hair than
brains. •
"Why ?" was immediately asked..
"Because they can't see your ears."
CRITERION.--A good criterion by which
to judge .the disposition of it 7 man is to
watch him when he passes some boys at
play. A kind man will step out of the
