| "Let us take warning, in the present
crisis, from the fate Of other republic;
which have placed corrupt agents in
power. GA the termination of the
Roman Commonwealth, Sejanus sur
rounded Tiberius, with tale-beareIs
and spies, who excited him to acts OF
outrage and cruelty. These spies
were moved by Sejanus, and they reg.
niated the movements OF the Emperor.
They and not The Senate, became his
| council. They were like the spies OF
Van Buren, around Jackson, successful
in overturning the authority of the
Senate, and of concentrating all power
in the hands of the Executive. 1t was
in this disastrous period Of Roman his
tory that the Egecgtive first named his
successor. We conjure you not to suffer
the parallel TO be carried out in the
history of our own Republic, but rather
let US, in the language Of our Harrison,
resolve to "do our own vo,ing," and
thus save our country from the fate OF
ancient Rome. We would remind you
OF the illustrious maxim, that the Soon
diticn on which God gave liberty to
man, was eternal uigita"ce,' and the
struggle against the fearful combina-
ton Of intrigue and corruption arrayed
in the support Of the Presidents des-
ignated successor, requires our perfect
union and incorporating zeal. We
have 10 contend with host rioting in

In conclusion, therefore, we would
recommend, as the best general rule
for escaping the ravages of the Hes

to light by further experiments, can
not fail to be useful, we shall close this
article by repeating the suggestion Of
Judge Havens :-"Let those who may
have leisure and curiosity on this sub~
ject, and who reside in different parts
ofthe country where the insect may
prevail, sow small patches Of different
kinds of wheat, as often as once or
twice in month, during the whole
season, adjoining to some field of wheat
or stubble, where the insect may be
found in greatest number and let its
progress be observed on those differ
ent patches of wheat, and the result Of
the observations be collected aud CON-
pared with each other"

possibly it may feed upon other plants of
this natural order & so, these would
furnish habitation for it through win.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY.


Extract Of a letter from the Hon. Judge

MIA Lyceum.
III had almost forgotten to tell you
of the wonderful discovery lately made
in the neighborhood Of this place, and
which promises to set natural philoso-
ply all agog. Old John Lovet, who
resides about mile from this Village,
digging we'll lately about fifteen feet
deep below the surface of the earth,
came across a skeleton Of prodigious
size, aud which must have been ia the
earth for many ages. DR.. Sturgis and
DR.. Patterson both pronounced it a
human skeleton of gigantic proper
lions, and necessarily Of genus long
since extinct, and corresponding with
the mastodon or mammoth in the brute
! order.
The thigh bone is two feet and three
inches in length, and the skull is
frightful. l cannot describe it other
wise than by comparing it in size and
appearance to large wash bowl. One
| of the teeth, which the Doctors call a
grinder, is enormous, and is 10 per-
feet state Of preservation. 1t is as large
as the cork of porter bottle, with two
prongs and indented exactly like 9
human tooth. The workmen have
not yet completed the extraction of all
the bones, and great excitement pre-
walls. Two medical men from New
| York have offered the owner of the
farm 500 for the skeleton, which our
Doctors have advised him TO refuse.
From the comparison of the bones pro.
cured from the pit, it must have com.
posed frame when filled with flesh,
united and clothed with appropriate
muscles, of at least Is feet in erect
height just think of il, and what a
world there must have been ia creation

The proper element of man is con-
slant activity.-Thc waters of life are
like those of the Bethesda pool-it is
only when they are agitated that they
are healthful.
In nine cases out of ten, men owe
their influence more to their habits and
their conduct than either to their ac-
quirements or their talents.
There are few amusements more in
teresting to me than step into hall Of
Justice when criminal trial is pending.
Two men have set outsin life together:
one has chosen industry and honor for
his councillors, the other has followed
vice and idleness, and the result of the
two careers are there suddenly contras-
ted-the upright Judge, the degraded
convict. One side Of the picture is as
ennobling to our nature as the other is
humiliating.
Honor is pair Of gloves, which a
worldly man puts on when he goes a.
broad, to hide the color of his hands.
and pulls Of, when he is alone, to get
at ms object more conveniently. True
religion is time-piece, which man
OF sense puts into his pocket when he
IS IN the street, and draws out and lays
upon his desk when he comes in. to
direct him in his private business.
Self-conceit is a standing-pool which
exhibits other men to our eye, not on
~ below US, but completely inverted.

bout six millions Of which were ceed-l
d by the Lake Indians In the treaty
concluded with them at Washington, {
n March last Five-sevenths of the
whole erea can be visited in vessels,
such as ordinarily navigate the lakes.
The interior abounds in minor lakes,
and enjoys singular advantage of in
by its streams and
partages. The area included between
the three great lakes, north of Macki-
nae. which will probably hereafter be
denominated the Upper Peninsula Of
Michigan, embraces the present settle
ments at Micbilimackinack and Sault
Ste. Marie. Taking the whole extent
Of the next territory, from Menomon-
nee river, following the curves of the
coast to the northwest limits Of the
State at the mouth Of Mo,aia,D, or
Montreal river Of Lake Superior, it
affords not less than 100 miles of addi-
tional coast navigation, and embraces,
lin this distance, several large bays and
exeellea.. lksafr bears. About forty large
and some sixty small streams discharge
their waters into the three lakes con-
,tituting portions of the boundary.
Lake Superior lies at level, esti-
mated to exceed fraction of 40 feet
above Lake Huron, and is connected
with it by the straits Of Ste. Mary's.
The principal fall is to overcome at the
Sault Ste. Marie, where the river sinks
its level about twenty-five feet in three
fourths of mile. Vessels cansascend
to this position. Three ship locks Of
about seven feet lift, would open a
communication with the lake above,
adding, according to the various esti-
mates of the circumference of Lake
Superior from 1900 to 1900 miles Of
the coast navigation to the voyage from
Buffalo. The structure of the coun-
try is favorable to the execution of the
work, at reasonable expense. The
soil is clay snd gravel, under-laid with
sand stone.
The number Of fishing stations about
the coast is numerous, and the points
where fish are taken are annually in
creasing, under the incipient enter
prise Of the inhabitants. 1t would be
difficult to estimate the present value
of the trade or commerce. Several
thousands of barrels of fish are put up
annually. One thousand of barrels
were brought from Lake Superior the
present season. The waters Of this
lake are probably destined to yield an
cxhaustless supply Of this article
Twenty thousand dollars worth of fish
may be expected to be barrelled in the
upper lakes the present year. Anad-
equate capital vested in fishing vessels,
nets and other articles, would increase
the amount indefinitely. There is rea-
son to infer that the present reproduc-
ton of fish annually cxeeedSsthe NUM-
