KEEP YOUR Mourn SHUT. A friend Of
ours, on recent visit to the interiour of the
State of New-York, became most unfortu-
nate victim of one of those swindling pests
who lntest the stopping places of the fash
ionable tours" and. obtain their livelihood
by tricks upon unsuspecting travellers. At
the hotel in the city of Rx*******, where
our friend stopped, he was introduced to
dentist, ofprepossessing manners, who, after
showing him many attentions, invited him to
his room. Our friend expressed desire to
purchase some dentifice, which the dentist
had for sale. On handing it to him, the
willy tooth-drawer observed that it would be
of no use unless the tartar was first remov-
ed from his teeth, and requested him to sit
down while he scraped off the worst of it.
The stage was waiting at this time at the
door, and the operation was performed in
such haste as to cause great pain to his pa
tent. Finding the stage was not yet ready
to depart, he requested permission to COM
plete his job by filing such teeth as were
uneven. This part of the performance was
completed in much less time than the other
Tor our friend, who indeed began to entertain
serious fears ofbeing butchered, was repeat
eddy desired 20 hasten, as the stage was
waiting. When freed from the hands of his
tormenter, our friends generosity led him
| -
to inquire what he was indebted, not sup
posing however, from the manner he had
been led to go through the operation, and
the few moments in which it was performed,
that it could be much. His surprise NAV be
conceived, therefore, when he was told that
besides 81, rs for the dentifrice, five dollars
only would be charged for cleaning the teeth.
Hurry, and perhaps necessity compelled our
friend.in spite Of has teeth, to submit to this
imposition, and he accordingly was proceed
ing to satisfy the demand, when he was as
founded with a further illustration of tbe
modesty of the man of teeth, who informed
him that .fue dollars also would be CHARGED
for filing the teeth. By this time our friends
eye-teeth Vere cut, and dreading further
attacks upon his purse, he paid the extortion-
er his full demand-about one dollar min
ute-and without saying word, jumped in
tothe stage, spain running his tortured gums

lists room By limitation, without his mouth
shat end his pockets empty

THE Bower OF TASTE, This paper,
edited by Mrs. Katharine A. Ware, in Bos-
ton, is every day becoming more worthy of
its title. 1t has lately changed publishers,
and gone into the hands of Messrs. Dutton
g. Wentworth, and the last number appears
in new and beautiful dress. But dress is
motifs only recommendation-though, with
all possible respect and gallantry be it said,
it is very important consideration with the
ladies: and we think Mrs. Ware has wisely
consulted her interest in giving little more
attention to the exteriour of her paper. A
failure to do this might affect her subscrip-
ton list as young lady would be affected
who paid no attention to her graces. Few
gentlemen select for their wives those who
are negligent of their persons. We hope
the improvement, in every respect, which
Mrs. Wares Botcer Of Taste exhibits in the
last number will add bountifully to the host
of her admirers. Those who are DESTROYS Of
paying their addresses to her, will find me-
dunn at this office-where subscriptions to
her paper are received.

We learn from Hartford that great excitement

nominated by the jackson Caucus in Boston;
and here we intentioned to have ended the
matter: but our pride and our feelings have
been somewhat wounded by the provoking
Ignorance which the editor of the Worces-
ter Spy manifests of the existence of such
man as William Willard, Esq, and we are
called upon, as we value our liberties and
respect those who are the chosen guardians
to watch over and protect them, to give in
the evidence which our situation enables us
to afford of the entity of Mr.. Willard. The
other Jackson man Of this town is to be sure
absent, but, from information derived from
other and no doubt correct sources, we feel
authorized to state that the surmise of our
friend, the Editor of the Spy, that Mr.. Viii
lard is a man Of stra,c, is entirely without
foundation. He is, we firmly believe, real
flesh and blood man-a resident of Lancas-
ter-a Justice of the Peace appointed by
Gov. Eustis-and Jackson man without
doubt-though perhaps not, as John Ran
dolph says, from the stump. An attempt to
reduce such man to an absolute state of
nonentity is objectionable. When man
consents to be placed before the publick as
a candidate for their suffrages, he necessa-
rily and very properly exposes himself to the
scrutiny of his feilow-citizens. But in our
party zeal we should never lose sight of the
respect which is due to the dignity of our
government and its officers. In the dialogue
quoted above, Justice Shallow expresses a
just and manly Indignation at Falstaff's
contempt of the sacred dignity of his station;
and his language will apply foreibly to the
present case. Nay Mr.. Editor of the Spy,
if you were twenty editors, you shall not
abuse William Willard, Esquire, coram, Gust
alorum, ratotorum, and gentleman born,
who writes himself armigero.
Postscript. Since the above was in type,
the Boston Statesman has come to hand
containing the following positive information
on this subject, which we hasten to lay be-
fore our readers =
william Willard, Esq, the gentleman whose
name is on the Jackson Electoral Ticket is highly
respectable farmer of Lancaster and Justice of the
Peace for the County of Worcester His name is
on the list of Justices of the Peace for the County
OF Worcester, as published in the Massachusetts,
Register, which was undoubtedly in the Office of
the Spy when the above article was written The
following is copy of the Letter from Mr. Willard
the "man Of straw," to the Jackson Central Com
mittee, consenting to have his name placed on the
Jackson Electoral Ticket.
LANCASTER, JUNE %, 1925
SIR have received the request of the Jackson
Central Committee, for permission to place my name
on the Jackson Ticket of Electors, as Candidate
for the Worcester North district.
In answer, have to regret that my name will not
add more to SO good cause, but very cheerfally
permit the use ofit by my Nepuoncan Ie1Iuw citI-
zens, on this occasion.

HE WEATHER. We are in the habit of
preserving in our columns memoranda of
remarkable vicissitudes in the weather. not
SO much for the sake of the information they
contain as for matter of reference hereafter.
The recent heavy showers have been in
some degree remarkable; and in other pla-
ces have caused more damage than here.
We presume considerable quantities of hay.
and in some instances, grain, will be more
or less injured by the soaking rains. In
Worcester and its neighbourhood it seems
much destruction has been occasioned nv
hail. We are informed that in Shirley and
Groton severe hail storm has essentially
damaged fields of corn and rye. The Bel
lows Falls, (Vt.) Intelligencer states that
four bridges have been swept away on Cold
River, N. H., besides a grist and saw mill.
by freshets occasioned by the late rains.
The dam of Newton & Tufts paper mill
was also destroyed. The stage passed over
one of the bridges few minutes before it
was carried away. The following account
is from the Worcester Egis:-

u We have to-day very late and somewhat in
eresting advices from England, and from the seat
Of war in the East. is impossible to predict the
result of the immense war preparations in Russia
The Duke of Wellington, it seems, has succeeded
in organizing new Ministry, whether on a good
foundation remains to be seen. Mr. Huskisson's
letter to the Duke of Wellington, offering to resign
his Office, and some subsequent explanations of his
motives which he made in the House of Commons.
render it pretty certain that he did not wish to re-
sign, and on the whole is rather disappointed that
the Duke should have put such positive construc-
tion ppon1his letter.
RIVE invite the serious attention of our readers
to an excellent article ON our first page under the
signature of Farmer Jonathan. The subject ofHigh-
waysis everyday becoming matter of greater interest
and Importance, and we confident in our opinion
that the Broad Rimmed Wheels, provided for by re-
cent law, will do more than any other system
my which the wisdom of cur Legislature could have
devised, towards improving the publick roads--ren.
dering them not only better and safer but saving an
immense amount Of expense in repairs. We are
sorry that an attempt is to be made to repeal this
law. One journey from this town to Boston it seems
to us, shonld be sufficient to satisfy the most
oodurate IN their preudces of the great superiority
Of wide over narrow felloes. Even the road from
here to Leomnster furnishes an argument in favour
OF broad wheels to which we cannot conceive of a
reasonable answer. We mention this road not he
cause it is peculiarly bad, but because we have had
sad and frequent experience upon it of the miserable
economy of narrow wheels. 1t is road Cd which
heavy teams are constantly travelling, and as con-
stantly destroying the comfort of those who are so
unfortunate as get unawares into the maze of rus
cutters, and sloughs which render passage over it
comparable to nothing but being tossed in blanket
to which species of torment Farmer Jonathan has
aptly alluded
Al is these teams which so much iniure the publs6<
roads, and render them next to impossible and
broad rlmed wheels, it is believed, would eectuav
remedy the evil. We cannot but hope that Mt least
'he experiment will be tried. Speaking of careless
ness an repairing the highways, Farmer Jonathan
reminds US how narrowly we escaped breaking our
necks by overturning carriage few evenings since
IN the middle Of the publick road, Just above the
ofiuge at the Village. The sluice-way there is
ouiit up only about half across the road leaving an
abrupt decent sufficient to Overset heavy earr;age
should one wheel chance to go into the hollow below
me Sulce-way A word to the wise is sufficient
