Sir:-The Special Medical Council, having
considered the resolution referred to them by
your honorable Board in relation to the return OF
absent citizens to their homes, think it right now
to express their opinion, that those who are liv-
ing in districts Of country where malignant cho-
lera or fevers now prevail, and especially those
who, in addition to this, are deprived Of those
comforts to which they are accustomed. and who
are not within the reach OF competent medical
assistance. will act prudently in returning to their
homes. 1t should, however, be remarked, that
persons from healthy atmosphere, entering a
district where cholera prevails, NAV be presumed
to be more liable to it than those who are accli.
mated, especially if tina change be connected with
any of the common exciting causes OF the disease,
such as fatigue, anxiety, irregularity OF meals,
SC. Greater caution should therefore be observ-
ed by persons under such circumstances.

A VOLTS NEST.

On the 9th of May last, Mr.. Elias
Parks, of the town Of Niagara, in this
county, went into the woods in search OF
wolves, armed with musket. The an
imals had previously committed great
ravages among the cattle and sheep IN
that vicinity, and the night before had
filled the woods with their howlings.
Taking his course by range of trees, he
proceeded about a mile and half in a
direction he supposed they were to be
met with, when he found white-wood
tree of prodigious length and size, on the
ground, which he supposed was cut down
6v the Indians. The tree was hollow as
far as he could discover, and from the
tracks which had the appearance of be-
ing recently made, he supposed it might
be inhabited by wolves. How to discover
whether such was the case or not, puz-
xIcd him much. Hc was alone, and did
not like tho idea Of attacking his enemy,

The FEMALE HEART.-Thcre is moth
possession Of pure, fresh, immutable
affections. The most felicitous moment
Of mans life, the most ecstatic of all
his emotions and sympathies, is that in
which he receives an avOwal of affection
from the idol of his heart. The springs
of feeling. when in their youthful purity,
are fountains of unsealed and gushing
tenderness: the spell that once draws
them forth is the mystic light of future
years, and undying memory. Nothing
in life is so pure and devoted as a wo-
mans love. 1t matters not whether it
be for husband, or child, or sister, or
brother, it is the same pure unquencha-
BILE hams--the same constant and i'm
maculate glow of feeling, whose unde-
niable touch stone is trial. Do but give
her one token of love, one kind word,
one gentle look, even if it be amid DESC
lation and death-the feelings of that
faithful heart will gush forth IN torrent,
and in despite Of earthly bond or mer-
cenary tie. More priceless than the
gems of Golconda is the female heart
more devoted than the idolatry of Mecca,
is woman's love. There is no sordid
view, of gratifying self-interest in the
feeling. 1t is principle and charac-
terssic of her nature, faculty and an
infatuation which absorbs and concen-
trates all the fervor of her soul, and all
the depths Of her bosom. Iwould rath-
er be the idol Of one unsulled and un-
practiced heart, than the monarch Of
empires. ! would rather possess the
immaculate and impassioned devotion
of one highsouled and enthusiastic fe-
male, than the sycophansic fawnings of
millions"

ACTION FOR DAMAGES.

A few days since in one of the back
slums ofthis proverbialIy dirty, yet beau
tiful metropolis, servant boy left an
ash box outside tho threshold of his mas
ter's door, but whether from careless
ness or frolic cannot be precisely ascer-

tained. The latter, however, was most
propoble, as the rogue united to pair
Of laughing black eyes, most knowing
curl of the upper lip, and was moreover
late import from the land of wit and
blunder. The box was only a few mo-
ments in its new location, when a full
blown, waIl-eyed dandy, with radical
castor, ruffled frill, and pair of spick
and span nankeen inexpressibles, came
futtering down the street, probably on
his way to tea-party. But alas, how
often are the wisest purposes of man
frustrated by trivial, aud il foreseen,
easily avoided circumstance. Our dam
dy was engaged in adjusting the collar
of his--no not Of his shirt, for on the
voluntarily opening of his vest, in con-
sequence of the accident am going to
relate, it was discovered that he was
completely independent Of the English
addition, and according TO the Paris
fashion, wore nothing but dicky and
wrist-well as / was saying he was
bringing the extremities of his collar 20
an elegant conjunction on the tip of his
chin, when unfortunately the toe of his
pump came in contact with the Internal
ash box, and poor Fanny found himself
at the same instant most tunceremonious-
ly lodged in the puddle, and to make
bad worse, his unmannerly hat, as if
unconscious Of its masters rather un-
expected detention, kept moving on its
journey at no very measured pace Of its
own accord. Our bcwildered hero of
the shrtless collar, after grouning for a
bout two minutes under the mud, con-
trived in spite the infexibility of his
bodice, to place himself again i'm the
proper position of man, that is, with
his head toward the heave ms, and his
feet vice versa-when after exhaling
through his nose three pinches of pure
/" American gentleman" he naturally
looked round for the cause ofhis somer-
set. The i'll omened ash box was soon
discovered, and worse than all, the very
fountain head of his misfortunes stood
leaning against the hall door, almost
convulsed in kink of loughters at the
dandy's very ludicrous appearance.
-" William exclaimed the enraged gen.
tleman, 4" do you know who l am"
+" No in truth avic, and if body wan
ted to learn your name, it isn't on the
tail of your shrt-he'd be after finding
it,"
Impudent william" roared the indig-
nant dandy, (at this allusion to the de-
ficiency Of his ward robe F." if there's n
lawyer in christendom, I'll bring an ac-
ton against the premises, Tomorrow"
Och, then its your worship, that's
most unreasonable creathur 10 talk of
bringing an action when it's evident to
every sensible body that you have reeeiv-
ed the damages already"
This retort fairly staggered the disci-
pline of Mr.. Snont, who, to escape the
home thrust of Pat, and the horse laughs
of some dozen most sympathising spec
tators, very prudently followed his hat,
leaving nothing behind save the memo
rial of his misfortunes in the puddle

WHO rs 1T!

The lovely girl sec at church
Tho girl see so often;
Gazing, my sterncr thoughts will mott,
And all my feelings soften.
/ steal glance when prayer IL done,
And when the rest arc singing,
And then look from her bright eye
To me its wayis winging
Her eyes are such a pair OF rogues--
Two wells Of heavenly blue
That when they turn on mo they thrill
My Burning bosom through
They never beam full on my face,
But then a look by stealth,
To my upsprnging, answering soul,
Is worth world Of wealth
The httlc dimple on her check,
Is worth far more to me,
Than all tho dimples in the church
On other cheeks that be
Her bosom's gentle heaying swell,
Wakes such a sigh in mine,
As quite disiracts my thoughts from all
That's said by the divine.
That hair Of sunset hue is worn
In the Madonna style,
Combed from her blue.veincd forehead u
Beneath her bonnet's pile.
Then there's the funniest little bow
Placed Just above the ear
'Tis like a resting butterfly,
So tasty and so queer.
Sweet one, if you should recognise
Yourself in what I've said,
Just ffown upon mo. and tho next
You'll hear Of mo I'm dead
But smile, and when il rains again,
To church, my fair ono, como
With no umbrella, and Ill swear
To see you safely home.

that he and his followers, maintained
religious meeting, on the first day ofthe
week, for above sixty years. and that
their worship consisted of prayers to
GOD, of preaching, or exPoundIng the
Scriptures, and singing of Psalms. He
lived to great age. He was of a good
family in England, and says he made
use of the learned Languages, in ex-
pounding the Scriptures to his hearers"
In Hutchinson it is stated that Cor
ton was first imprisoned aud then whip
ped by Governor Coddington's order
for contempt of court. Calendar makes
no mention Of such transactio;, nor
do the recoads shew amy such proceed
ing, nor is there any tradition in Rhode
Island to confirm the fact. The histo-
rans of Massachusetts however assert it,
but IN our opinion it still rests on very
doubtful authority. We are not conver-
SAINT with Gortons works, but have ney-
or heard that he complained of any
such treatment in Rhode-Island. There
was howevr some difficulty between Cor
ton and his followers and the Government
Of the Island, several of them who were
freemen before, were disfranchised af-
ter they joined him; but what was the
occasion. does not plainly appear. 1t is
certain that when he and his followers
were liberated from prison in Massachu-
setts in l643-4 they came directly to the
Island, and remained there until they
received from England grant peaceably
to enjoy their purchase Of Warwick.
So that whatever might have been their
former misunderstanding, they then con-
sidered the people of the Island their
( friends, who received them in their exile
and protected them in their misfortune.

charge taken from the original now in

Veteran MechGlr.-We witnessed a
very unusual sight at Saint Stephen last
week man named James Nicholson,
well known throughout the country, has
entered into contract to make the
masts, spars, and caps for newt brig
of nearly 200 tons. The spars and caps
are finished in workmanlike manner
and the mast commenced with. This
extraordinary mechanic is ninety-four
years old, having been born in 1893 ; is
IN full possession Of his bodily men
tai faculties, and has SO little the ap-
pearance of extreme old age, thar VIC
should be almost tempted TO suppose
that sickness and death had forgotten,
and passed him by. We were assured,
not only by himself, but by the owner
of the vessel, that Mr.. Nicholson has
had no other assistance in getting the
largest of the topmasts and yards upon
his work bench, than that of n little
grandson twelve years old. His con-
trvance for raising and letting them
down is very ingenious. He had great
grandchildren living with him, and
works from morning till night without
experiencing more fatigue or inconve-
nience than he did forty eight years a
go, when he commenced ship-building
in st. Andrews.--St, Andre,os Coarant.
