A STERN ECONOMIST.—One of the candi-
dates for the reformed Council of Perth, issued to the
electors of the first ward a manuscript declaration of his
sentiments. The unprinted document commenced by the
following unqualified assertion in favour of economy. " I
am an enemy to all pensions, sinecures, and salaries
whatever !"—Scotsman.

A HINT TO AIOTHERS.—In Barbadoes the
black nurses embalm wetkly young Creoles in wrappers
lined with assn cetida, and think it prejudicial to " burst
the cerements" of the sweet little dears more than once in
fortnight.

AN ENLIGHTENED ELECTOR.—Religion
89 well as politics would seem to have had a powerful in-
fluence in the late civic appointments at Perth. The
Church was sharply looked after. One elector, more ec-
clesiastical in his look-out than others, refused his suffrages
to a candidate of the fourth ward, on the weighty ground
that he was going to " overthrow the Protestant religion."
—Scotsman. -
ry iI'E—WWI away, by the flood
on Thursday we-k. This beautiful structure consisted
of only one arch, probably the largest in the county, and
was nearly completed. The water came down with
irresistible force, and getting behind the abutment, carried
it away—the embankment not being finished.— White-
haven Herald.

MEDAL IN HONOUR OF MR. CUTLAR
FgacussoN.—The Polish exiles, resident in Paris, hare
expressed in a pleasing and most appropriate manner the
grateful feelings they so ardently cherish towards the
member for Kirkcudbrightshire—the great champion of
their cause in Parliament. By the kindness of a country
gentleman we have had an opportunity of inspecting a
medal recently struck in Paris to commemorate our
member's services in the cause of humanity, and we agree
with an intelligent correspondent in thinking that the
country of Wallace and Bruce has good cause to feel proud
of the compliment. The likeness, so far as we can judge,
is good, and the mad il altogether is executed in the
highest style of art. The framing is the inscription on
the side presenting the head :—" Nee Dee:unt qui
Slerninerint mei.' On the reverse, encircled with a
laurel wreath,--" Roberto Cutlar Feremsson candido ac
tenaci Juris Gentium proptignatori vi oapressa genio
stiperstes Polonia D:cavit mDCCCXXXII."—Dumfries
Courier.

ROAD MONEY.—A tax of about fourpence
per pound is now collecting under the name of Road
Money. I wish to be informed whether the assessment is
levied for the city or the county; how much it yields ;
and how it is app ied. Is it -barged on every tenement
in the city ? In this ca'e it should produce 6.000/. If
only on tenements within the Royalty, it should produce
4,0001. I see no such item in the Report just published of
the Town's Revenues.--Scotsman.

SHOCKING EFFECTS OF INFORMERS.—
Last week Mr. S eigh, of the Old Lion, St. John-
str. et-road, was fined for serving after hours," not-
Withstanding his respectable witnesses averred that a more
strict man did not exist; as a proof, one of the witnesses
deposed, before the magistrates, that one night last week,
his wife having been taken suddenly ill, be went to the
Red Lion at a quarter past eleven o'clock, to fetch some
brandy, and although he told Mr. Sleigh the cause of
his application, he refused to open the door to serve him.
This person told the magistrate he saw the informer
knocking at Mr. Sleigh's door for admittance, when lie
observed to him it was of no use, he was sure he would
not he served; yet, in the face of this evidence, Mr.
Sleigh was fined. The awful result has been that Me.
Sleigh, conscious of his innocence, was so irritated at this
vie persecution that his mind became affected and de-
ranged, and he died last Saturday afternoon raving mad.
AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.--011 Tues-
day last a respectable woman in Alain street, named Janet
Steel, wife of Mr. John Stevenson, late baker in Airdrie,
and now in New York, was labouring under a severe
attack of cholera, of which she died that afternoon, at
five o'clock, in presence of her bereaved and afflicted
children. On the same evening, about eight o'clock,
Helen Stevenson, a daughter of the deceased, went out to
make some arrangements for her mother's funeral, but had
only reached her grandmother's house, a few yards distant,
when she was seized with cholera also, and remained there
till she expired on the following morning. The fate of this
amiable young woman is singu'arly affecting, and awfully il-
lustrative of the uncertainty of time, and its promising en-
joyments. She had long been courted by a deserving young
man in the place, and, in contemplation of a happy sitor!,
the pates had been proclaimed, for the second time, in
the parish church last Lord's Day. The wedding gar.
ments—the furnishings far the house—in short, all was
prepared that was thought necessary for the occasion.
Next week was to have witnessed the celebration of their
nuptials, and with it the commencement of all those hal-
cyon allusions which young and fond hearts so readily and
so rapturously portray in
.imagination to themselves; but
alas, the joyous anticipations of this devoted couple were
never to be realized. From the hour that Helen was se:aed
with the contagion, the stamp of death was on her fea-
tures, and from that hour her lover attended to render
what assistance he could in such trying and perilous cir
curnstances ; nor did he quit the bed-side of his faithful
Helen, until " the silver cord was loosed, and the golden
howl was broken." Even then, by the injunctions of his
dying bride, he laid out a portion of her wedding dress
with which to deck her corpse; by a like solemn charge
he appeared at the funeral, in a shirt prepared by her own
hands for the bridal night, and attended as chief mourner
behind the hearse or pall which carried the remains of
both mother and daughter to " the house appointed for
all living.--Scots Times."
