SINGULAR EprDEmic-A letter from Springfield
(Nt) was on Saturday received in Boston, from
which the Mercantile Journal makes the following
extract. Springfield is al the base of the Green
Mountains, remarkoble healthy situation, we hap
always supposed -
"Our town is almost string of hospitals. A vi
client dysentery. accompanied with symptoms of A.
static cholera, has broken out among us, and hardly
family escapes. The wives of two of my neares,
neighbors died last night, and in every direction
this disease seems spreading. We are not exmp, ;
J. and B. have the first stages of it. Our
help has left us, sick, and are not as we were
and wish to be. No stagnant water exsists near.
All is still clothed in verdani beauty and lux
uriant vegetation. stay at home only on this ac-
count, have calls to visit others when my own
family can spare me One, nav, several of our best
young and families down with this cpl
demic."

HINTS TO LAWYERS, &c.

A distinguished Jurist some time since, handed
us the following extract on Lawyers speeches,
whichm is thought may afford useful hint in good
time.
I'VE do no, scruple to affirm that if a cause is
properly prepared for hearing, and the advocate Is
properly acquainted with his subject, speech oil
one or two hours length will in general be sufficient
for the most difficult and important case-and WILL
nine times out of ten, make more eilccual impress
sion urson the minds of the hearers than of as
many days II is also, IN fact, much greater proof
OF ability in the speaker that he is thus able to con
dense his arguments and lay out the merits OF MS
case in a speech of moderate lengtl-admiiiing
however, for the sake OF argument, what IN fact VIC

Yet well We know that rugged is the way,
That bears us on 10 intellectual day,
Beyond fair sunny prospects tempting rise.
Whale hopr's bright star now grceis our longing

On Won proud eninence see Science stand,
Fame in her voice and honor in her hand
On deeds Of noted men she chiefly dwells,
With pleasure shows them and with pleasure
tells
unfsding laurcls in hand she bears,
And speaks Of honors To our listening ears.
Her yoiarics on she lures with cheering smiles,
And With her lips each painful toll bcguiles
When towards her realms our hopeful way we
bend
Short ia advance appears our journeys end
But as progressive we our course pursue,
That goal OF hope seems to recede from view,
Till in the distance MS bu, dmly viewed,
And seems TO vanish it's close pursued.
So westward from Cannary's disian, strand
We've seen the phan,oms OF ST. Brandon's

That oft appeared like islands in the main,
Which seamen sought yet always sought in
vain.
Knowlcslgo's broad ocean that allures our sight
With golden lands beyond and visions bright,

More vast i,s depth, and lis expanse more wide.

Dor former scenes and youthful haunts TO roam :

While those cndearing ties which bind us there,
Renewed 10y absence, seem redoubly fair.
Yet to these classic halls 10 bid adieu,
And happiness in other parts pursue;
To part with those whose kind paternal care
Gave us Of learning's use iulness 10 share,
Bu, most of all, TO break the bands that bind
Those kindred hearts by friendships cords en-
twIned,
To bid farewell to these, and with the m part,
Must grieve the mind and weigh upon the heart.
And when in future years amid the strife
Ofnumerous ills and varied cares OF life;
Whenever we seek in memory's balm to find

Oft shall we turn to youthful pleasure past
And learn, but ah 4. too late we learn at last,
