Tho most cnbittered and inplacable foe If
zen; Harrison cannot place lis finger on a
single passage in his life which discloscs a
disregard on his part for tho Constitution and
the laws of the land-a contempt for human
suffering, and blood--a thirst for nain-or a
burning lust for power. His character stands
as iair before the world as the surface of an
uniettered sheet, or as the snow which has
not ocen colored by the rays Of the sun.
we must not ascribe, then, too rrcal =
snare OF efficacy to the influence Of General
Harnsons military achievements in the late
contest tor the Presidency. His virtue, in
'egrity, and valuable civil services were the
prevailing recommendations which he brourht
to TIC bar ol the American public. For ever
day, IN the calendar of his life, has be en-
marked by liberal dispcnsation of the sootf.
Ing charities Of lifc-aud every pace of his
political history has been impressed viii, the
stamp OF practical, bcnoficent, and useful
mind. He has reflected far greater benefits
on the country, III the national councils, thar
aiaTge u ajority of those whose superior splcn
dor OF genius has placed them in boidcr snc
more anlmatlng relief before the Public.

In Tennessee, TO the editor of the Cultivator.
winch seems to contain much valuable infor-
lnauon. on the manner of preventing the raw
ages OF the Bee llIDM:
"hen commenced keeping house, |
purchased few stands of bees, and the moth
destroyed them all the first year. Upon ex-
animation, found the moth depositcd no
eggs in web between the bench and the
box and as soon as they hatched thev
crawied up to the comb, and formed a web a.
round them so the bees could not dcstrov
them. ! made it rule to 90 TO the stand,
two or three times a week, and brush off tbt
eggs and web deposited but fndino thi.
troublesome, concluded to raise the boxe.
by putting small wedges under each corner
this found of great service; but discover
ed unless the wedges were made very snoot,
Tue eggs were deposited under the WEDGES
men concluded to drive ten-pcnnv ma;
under each corner of the hive. and let if rcs
upon them, so that the bees could mass al
around. Since adopted this plan. whici
has been twelve years, have moi. as 7 recol

PREsBYTERIAN CHURCH CASE

The law case between the Old and New
Schools came up in Philadelphia last week.
The whole court, as is known, had some
months IN ago set aside the opinion of Judge
hogerS, and ordered new trial. At the
opening OF the Court this week, JUDGE Ken
nedy presiding, the Counsel for the Old
School moved that this case should take pre-
cedence fall the others but the New School
Counsel opposed the motion, on the ground
that' 1t being unexpected, they were not rca-
dey' and the Court refused the motion. which
brought the case so low on the Calender that
1t will probably not be reached this term.

The operation for Strabsmus, or snuintipc
continues TO be performed in Philadelphia
with the happiest success. The North A.
merican thus describes one which was wit
messed by one of the editors on Wednesday :.
Ii was beautiful operation, and did not
exceed i've minutes i'll the performance The
patient was young man about eighteen
years oil age, residing in Schuykill Seventh.
ABOVE Race street. The bare thonoht Of bav-
ing shaTp instruments put into the eve, seems
70 De almost as much for the patient TO bear
as the operation itself. During the opera
.oD' which vas performed in the exceeding
y shoFI time above mentioned, the patient
vas several times asked If he experienced
.haoh pain, ana answered he did rot. After
vas over, he said his eye felt only as if
something was in it. The case was an ov-
IRENE one, OF the right eye, which was very
ln"ch turned in, and the effect when the nns-
Gle was cut was instantaneous. After the
slight quantity of blood which the operation
caused was wiped out, the patient rolled the
eye around in the socket, with the most ne,.
'ect ease. proving the complete success Of
the operation. Cases of this Kind are verv
interesting, as they are new in the annals ri
surgery, especially in this country. II Is
put about two years since this operation was
| INST introduced here fIom Germany.

INTEGRITY OF HARRISON.

The Galena Gazette furnishes the
following instance of the incorrupti-
BILE, rigid honesty, Of this "noblest
Roman of them ALL" How it con-
trasts with the mercenary, peculating
spirit of Mr., Van Buren and his chief
friends, who avail themselves Of eve
rv advantage their stations afford, to
enrich themselves from the public
treasury But read as follows
Gen. Harrison was once offered
two-thirds of the town site of St Lou
is for The simple signature of his name.
Had he complied, he would now have
been the richest man west of the AL
leganies. Acting on the principle that
a public officer should be even db0Ue
Suspicion of improprTety, he at once
rejected the offer To those, of the
present day, who only associate the
possession Of Office with the means of
acquiring wealth, this will appear un-
accountable, if not highly improper.
With them the hardest and most COM
plicated matter to be understood, ap-
pears tobeplain, straight forward hon
esty. But the great body of the peo-
pie will comprehend it, and viii APP
preciate the conduct Of the man who
valued his character more than he did
paltry wealth"
This simple incident affords good
insight into the character of Gen. Har-
rison 1t brings to mind at once the
era of the American Revolution, with
which he is so peculiarly connected
Then was uttered the noble sentiment
upon which Gen. HARRISON has
ever acted, when Gen REID told the
men who attempted to seduce him
from the Wing cause, Il am poo,
n1a1l-rery p0or-bast, poor Gs / am
the King of Great Britain as not ricl
enough to buy me-"

dies, whom the publisher is anxious to please. 1t
will continue TO be a subject of more than usual

magazine deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music

cised by the Editors, and all appropriate eXPend-
lures will be literally bestowed, as it is the de-
sign of the publisher, with the aid of his contribu-

dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and
accuracy of its Typography, the variety and high
tone OF Its literary articles, the quality and value
of its music, and the unequal splendor of it's pic
tora embellishuAents and the accuracy of its quar-
terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintain the SUPERIOR
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtained.--
For five years he has steadily pursued a course of
improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities such as to give the work eminent
advantages over ali other publications
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
| Ladies' Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine
Arts: and no exeItions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The fattering and general testimonials
Of nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many on the other side of th
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniabl
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support o.
the public generally. There is no work that give
its readers such great return for their money.
