TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD. Mrs: Shem-
monds, of Alrewas, had been in very
precarious state Of health for long time !;
her medical attendants advised her to
change her residence for the benefit of a
more salubrious air I; accordingly she remov-
ed to Longford, in the county of Derby,
the place of her nativity where, after sut-
fering severe relapse, she sunk into such
a state of extreme exhaustion from the loss
of vital fluid,) that her friends felt conf
dent that she was dead. Mr.. Adams, a
surgeon of Tutbury, was sent for, when,
after various means had been used in vain,
that judicious surgeon performed the very
interesting operation of TRANSMISSION of blood
from healthy subject into the veins of the
exhausted patient, so successfully, that she
is now so far recovered as to walk herself
out of doors, and continues living monu-
ment of its terminating effects.

HAvERHILL, Jan. IL.
DISTRESSING FIRE. A fire broke out in
this town, on Thursday evening last, at
about 8 o'clock, in the barn of Mr.. John
c. Page, situated about two miles from
this village; and consumed the build
ing, together with large stock of hay and
grain, and, we understand, eight or ten
head of cattle. But the most distressing
circumstance remains to be related. Mr..
Page ,CuS himself burnt to death an the barn
He had released his horse, and three or four
cows, and returned, contrary to the remon-
STRANGE of his brother, to save his oxen, and
persisted in the attempt. His body was ex-
treated before it was entirely consumed.
In the death of Mr.. Page, the town has lost
one of its most honest and industrious citl-
zens. He was about so years of age, was
single man, and kept house with maiden
sister. Her feelings on the occasion, can
neither be described or imagined
Mr.. Page was in the barn, with lantern,
for the purpose of feeding his cattle, few
minutes after o'clock, went into his house,
and was eating supper, when the fire was
discovered. 1t is therefore supposed, that
the hay must have caught by a spark from
the candle.-ESSer Register
1t is intimated in the Patriot of Saturday
that the partizans of Gen. jackson in this
state intend to run candidate in opposition
to Mr.. Lincoln, for the office of Governor, at
the approaching election. We had heard
something ofthis before. Gov. Lincoln has
discharged the duties of his Office with sig
nal ability, and to the acceptance, we be-
ljeve, of large majority of the people of
the Commonwealth. 1t is possible he may
not have succeeded in pleasing every one !;
but we doubt whether his opponents are
sufficiently powerful to give him or his
friends the least uneasiness.

From tLle N. E. Farmer.
INSECTIVOROUS BIRDS.


 Thpse are to the farmer and gardener of great value. They were designed by the Creator to check the too great increase of in sects and no farmer ought to suffer them to be wantonly destroyed on his premises. The number of insects destroyed by the robbin. swallow. sparrow, mockbird, and other small birds, is astonishing. One little family will destroy several hundreds of insects in a day. Some time since. pair of these small birds built nest on lilac, which grew close t" my window. This little society was closely observed. When they had gained sufficient strength, both parents were mutually and in cessantly, employed in collecting small in- sects from every quarter: and on moderate calculation, 70 the number of seven hundred day.
 One great cause of the increase of SO many insects, SD destructive to vegetation,is the de- crease of those little friends of the agricutu- rists. Should few of them inhocenty tres pass on the property of farmer, to the a. mount of a few cents, let him remember that he is greatly indebted to them for services rendered; and not wage war ofextermina- ton.
 They are not merely useful. in destroying insects-for they call the farmer and the gar dener to their business-cause the groves to resound wlth music. and usher in the morn ing with melodious praises. .. . " ... R.. GREENE.
