A foreign paper, in speaking of the Pres
idents Message, makes the following re-
marks -
] Mr.. ADAMS is able to make the grateful ac-
acknowledgement for his country, that as large
and liberal, portion of enjoyment has been min
gled in its cup, as the Indulgence of heaven
| has, perhaps, ever granted to the imperfect
state of man upon earth and we think every
man well acquainted with the state of different
nations will allow, that there is no country in
the world more prosperous, or bearing more
unequivocal marks of an honest, wise and good
government, than the United States ofAmerica
! Now that which (besides its general prosperity
distinguishes the republic above all other coun-
tries is, the perfect openness and publicity in
1 the proceedings of the government and of all
public bodies the absolute accountability of
such bodies to their constituents, the people,
and the free and beneficial operation of public
| opinion of their acts"
In the long room of the public library at
I Geneva, is clock in the form of a temple,
on the dome of which stands the figure of
the bird, "whose lofty and shrill sounding
throat awakes the god Of day." The me-
chanism being wound up, chantileer flaps his
wings and crows Justify whereupon IL
figures, representing the apostles, dance to
the chimes, round pyristyle; still lower
down the mimic structure is a balcony, in
which the Virgin Mary sits enthroned to
her, out of door on the right, comes
winged figure, representing the angel of
the annunciation; presently after, from an
other door on the left hand side, skeleton,
as the image of death, advances and falls
PROSTATE at the feet of the Virgin. At that
moment a parsonage in the centre of the
dome, behind " Our Ladye," opens a third
door, and strikes upon a bell the time of the
day. On this whimsical piece of horology
the date of 1850 is inscribed.
CHEROKEE INDIANS. We are told that in
the Cherokee country horses are plenty, and
are used for servile purposes. Numerous flocks
t of sheep, goats, and swine, cover the valleys
and hills. On Tennessee, Ustanella and Cana
| saga rivers, Cherokee commerce floats The
climate is delicious and healthy. In the plains
and valleys the soil is rich, producing Indian
hcorn, cotton, tobacco, wheat oats, indigo, sweet
and Irish potatoes. Apple and peach orchards

EXTRAORDINARY Discovery. An elm tree
recently blown down at Barry, near Amberly
castle, containing 40 feet of timber, was q few
days since sawed across in the midst, when the
{ nest of tomtit was discovered in perfect state
in which were five eggs, as fair to the eye as ii
deposited but few days. The solid mass OF
, timber which enveloped this curiosity must be
the growth Of many years. No mark could be
discovered of the original entrance. The nest
at the nearest point, is five inches from the out
side of the timber.-EngiSk paper
r THE HIGH CRANBERRY Few people seem to

around u.s. yielding rich clusters Of very hand
some fruit, delicious TART may be cultivated

berries. Without knowing that the attempt had
ever been made, | tried it last spring, with some
half a dozen shrubs all of which bore the trans
planting very well, for they lived, grew as Wig
orously as most vegetables do the first year, and
some of them bore fine punches of fruit The

SINGULAR DISEASE A missionary at one Of
the Society Islands writes that many people
have been cut off by kind of apoplexy within
a few months. They are seized almost instan-
taneously with locked jaws and paralzed
limbs. Sometimes several are attacked in the
house of worship, on Che Sabbath, and fall
J down one after another. The disease, which
appears to have originated in the air began at
