Van Buren, party in Congress ! Could any
censure have been more pointed? They
refused Mr.. Graham time to collect evi.

and refused to receive the evidence already
collected. Graham was fairly entitled to
his seat by some ten or fifteen votes; but
the election is sent back to the people, and

ONE METHOD OF PREVENTING THE At
TACK OF THE cArERPrLLAR.-At this
season Of the year, says Mr.. Brown,
of Pinefield, when caterpillars gener-
ally attack fruit trees and bushes, the
following method of preventing their
may not prove undeserving
of notice. Let a hole be bored in
the stem Of a tree as far in as the
heart, in a direction sloping down
wards about foot from the ground.
Into this pour a little mercury. Close
up the hole with a peg, not very
tightly fitted in. Cut the top Of the
peg of very smooth with the bark Of
the tree or bush, and then put lit
tie tar in it to prevent water getting
in the hole. This have found sure
and safe method Of preventing not
only the attacks of the caterpillar,
but Of driving them off the tree; and
it snot yet, Ibelieve, publicly known.

CURE FOR A LIVER COMPLAINT.

A gentleman Of Baltimore, who
had for a long time imagined himself
dying with the liver complaint, was
advised by his physician, DR.. Craw>
ford. to make an excursion into the
State Of Ohio. After an absence Of
some months, he returned home in
good health! but upon receiving in
formation of the death Of hrs twin
brother. who had actually died Of q
diseased liver, he Immediately stag
gered, and falling down, cried out 10
was q dead man; and had as no Al
WAYS expected, died Of the complaint
Of his liver. DIR. Crawford being
sent for, Immediately attended; and
being informed Of the notion which
had seized the hypochondriac. b took
hold Of his arm, and feeling his pulse,
exclaimed, o yes, the gentleman 10
certainly dead, and it is no more
than probible that his liver was the
death of him. However 10 ascer-
tain the cause, will cut him open be-
fore putrifcation takes place. He
called for a carving knife, and whet.
ting it as a butcher would do to open q
dead calf, he went to him ar began
to open his waistcoat. The dead
man became sohoribly frightened that
he leaped up with the utmost agility,
and crying out MURDER! MUIR
DER!! MURDER!!! ran off with a
speed that would have defied q whole
college Of physicians to have caught
him; after running considerable dis
lance, until he was almost exhausted,
he halted; and not finding the doctor
at his heels, soon became composed,
and from that period was never
known to complain Of his liver, altho'
he lived upward Of TWENTY years

Not many months since, general

truly original character by the name
of John Morris, issued fourth at the
appointed time, and formed themselves
into a line, two deep, on an elevated
spot, near the town; their valiant lea
der, at the same time, exhorted them
to stand firm and mind his orders, and
play the game as "real Yankees
should" and even to give the LOB
sters'' q taste Of cold steel, rather than
submit to become prisoners. The
.sreeulars,' consisting Of two hundred
men, formed some 900 feet from the
sham Yankees, and commenced a reg
ular peppering Of mu>ketry, which
vas returned with promptitude, by
the Pats. At this state Of the action,
the .sregulars" were observed to ex.
tend their line in order to surround
the enemy; but our hero Morris or
dered to "charge bayonets, without
any particular injunction not 20 hurt

to give ''leg ball. for their valor,
