THE OAK.

We pause at the foot of the great oak, and sur
vcy its majestic height and its wide reaching
branches. We count on its trunk the many years
that it has been rearing its head against the mighty
storms that have in vain spent their force upon its
gnared boughs. We dig about its roots to find
out the secret ofis deep hold upon the earth, and
we discover that time, instead of weakening its
grasp, gives it hrmcr grip. This noble tree is
fit emblem of our machless republic. 1t protects
all that comes within It's range, and stands upr ght
in every peril. thas no Upas poison lurking about
its ibres and therefore all may rest safely beneath
its branches. It's the tree of Liberty, that points
its head to heaven in alteration of its high source
and stretches out its lcaty arms for protection to
the hardy sons of freedom all the world over

IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCovERY.--A late num-
Der of the London Lancet contains an interesting
report OF case in the AIiddlesex Hospital the re-
suit OF which was important to the medical pro-
tesslon. A man who was admitted into that hospi-
tai about SIX hours after having taken an ounce of
laudanum Containing % grains of opium.) At
the time OF admission he apparently Efeless
the surface ofthe body was cold, countenance pale
and hvld, lips purple, pupils contracted to a mere
point, respiration scarcely percephble, pulse hardly
to be felt. The laudanum was removed by the
stomach pump but, in spite of every exertion, the
pulse became more untrequent and was at times
impercepdble, when recourse was had to electro
magnetism, which was applied by means of small
battery, with coil and contact-breaker. One wire
was applied to the neck, and the other to the re-
glon OF the heart or cpigastrium, and by these a
succession of very powerful shocks was given.--
The good effects were very apparent. The mus
cles OF respiration soon in action and the di-
aphragm contracted powerfully: the chest was
more fully expanded respiration was more perfect
ly carried on, and a corresponding improvement
was observable In the cOuntenance The pulse
improved and became more powerful, becoming
steady when the current was interrupted for a few
minutes. This application was continued for sew
era hours, and was finally successful--thus clearly
establishing the influence of electro ina gnetism I'M

ToBACCo on Rock RUrR.-The success which
has attended the effort to cultivate tobacco in this
vicinity, demonstrates the fitness of soil and eli
mate for It's profitable culture In the precinct of
Boomingvle it is estimated that the late crop will
amount to at least IS tons, which meets ready
sale on the ground at four dollars hundred; this
amounts to the very pretty sum Of $4,000 for one
precinct. This will be greatly increased the next
season. We are informed by those engaged in the
business that the average crop is about one ton to
the acre and that the whole care of cultivation,
harvesting and preparing for market will occupy
OF ground, with, we will say, one months labor,

But four states have given birth to Presd y s.,
VIZ: Virginia 6-Washngton, Madison, Jefferson,
Monroe Harrison, Tyler. Massachusetts John
and John Quincy Adams South Carolina Jack
New York Ivan Buren,.
New York has furnished the largest number of
Vice Presidents, viz: 4; Massachusetts and Vir-
ginia each two, &c.
OF the Secretaries of State, the highest number
has been furnished by Virginia, viz: s. NIassachu-
sets ranks next, 3.
1t is singular fact, that SIX secretaries of the
Treasury have been Pennsyvanians, while no other
state has furnished more than each.
Almost the same unequal division obtains with
regard to the War Department. 3 OF the secretaries
were from Massachusetts; ) from New York, :
each from South Carolina and Tennessee.
Massachusetts also furnished the most secretaries
OF the Navy, 3. Maryland, New York, New Jer-
sey and North Carolina each 2.
Five of the Postmasers General have come from
the Western and six from the Atlantic states.
The states OF Virginia, Pennsy lvania and Mary
land, have each given three Attorneys General and
Kentucky two.
OF the six Chief Justices, two have come from
New York.
New York and Massachusetts, are the only states
which have furnished officers for every one of the
above named departments of Government. No
secretary OF the Treasury Postmaster General
has been Nlrginian And though Pennsylvania
has given SIX secretaries of the Treasury, and three
Attorneys General, she has had but one representa-
tive in any other branch.
Maryland has been represented in every depart
ment OF the Cabinet and judiciary except the Post
Office.
Georgia has furnished a secretary of State, of
War, OF the Treasury, Postmaster General, and
an Attorney General, and ranks seventh in the list
of states giving officers to Government.
Both the officers from North Carolina were sec
rctaries o! the Navy. Both the officers from New
Jersey were in the same department.
Fifty three have been appointed from slave hold
ing states, and sixty from free states, those north
of Maryland.

father house, at Ashby; he also heard him preach
IN held adjoining. On this occasion his prayers
were unusually short, not extending beyond a pc
ROD OF tour minutes; and his sermon, which lasted
scarcely halt an hour, plain, direct and unim-
passloned. A little before ten O clock at night Mr..
Wesley lighted his bed-candle and took out his
watch; and, with the watch in one hand and the
candle In the other continued talking at a great
rate TIL the hour was completed. He then abruptly
retired, leaving the conversation to be resumed in
the morning. Mr.. Adams says that the popular
portraits of the illustrious Founder of Mefhodisn
are exaggerated. Mr. Wesley was neither so thin
as he Is represented, did he wear his hair so
long. He exhibited wonderful checrfulness ofspirits.

the Supreme Court of the United States, very
comprehensive claim against the State of New
Jersey 1t embraces all the land under water in
all the rivers of East Jersey and for three leagues
beyond the shore. No farmer build little
dock, even, if he succeed. All the fisheries, fer

the result. 1t is the most important case that has
arisen since the settlement of the Colony.
Mr.. Geo. Wood, and Mr.. G.. ID. Wall, are en-
poyed by the State to defend its rights and so
important is the matter deemed by the Legislature,
that before adjourning they passed this resolution :
Resolved, That in view of the great and imme-
date importance of this cause, in respect to the
rights of this State and its citizens His Exceency
the Governor, be requested, If he shall deem it
compatible with his other public duties, to repair in
person to the city of Washington, and attend the
said argument on behalf of this State

SAUsAGEs.-We prepare our sausage meat in the

the sausage meat in these bags, and hang them up
to dry. In this way, we save much labor in pre-
pairing the skins, and considerable in cooking; we
slip off the bag from much is needed, and cut
the sausage into slices of sufficient thickness for
cooking. much prefer sausages put in bags to

The REIN DEER.-The speed of the rein deer is
very considerable, and his power in supporting the
fatigue OF long journey, very great. His pace,
ascertalncd by an experiment over short distance,
is nineteen miles an hour. Remarkable anecdotes
are told of the swiftness with which rein deer Jour
neys have been performed. In one instance, in
1893, an officer who carried the news of an inva-
sion from the frontiers of Norway to Stockholm,
went with a single rein deer and sedge a distance
of $40 miles in AZ hours--averaging II miles an
hour. The faithful animal dropped down dead at
the end of his journey.
