A WORD TO THE PEOPLE.

What have the Wing Federalists done for
the country since they came into power in
the National Councils?
They have done nothing to relieve the
people;
They have done nothing to revive the
business Of the country;
They have doue nothing towards supply
ing sound currency;
They have done nothing towards regula-
ting the exchanges;
They have done nothing to raise the price
of produce Of the farmer;
They have not only done nothing to raise
the wages Of labor. but have actually reduc-
ed the wages Of the workmen employed on
the public works;
They have not secured to the laborer
"two dollars day and roast beef;"
In short they have done nothing since the
election of their President to redeem the
thousand fair promises which they made be-
fore the election, or even a single one OF
them;
But they have done something, and what
have they done?
They have bankrupted the Treasury;
They have created national debt Of thir-
ty millions;
They have injured the credit of,he nation
and have sold its scrip in the market at a
ruinous discount;
They have removed from Office Tire brave
soldiers who fought for their country, and
the honest and faithful public servants who
discharged their duties with ability and fl
deity, to make room for noisy partlzans,
who had nothing TO reccomend them to
office but drawing log cabins ornamented
with coon-skins drinking hard cider, and
bawling to the extent of their lungs, Tip
and Ty;'
They have killed their first President by
opportunities for office:
They have treated their second Pres
ident as if he were a villain, and called
him by as many hard names as they won Id
the most abandoned rascal in the country.
They have quarreled among themselves,
both in Congress, and out Of Congress, and
told almost as many truths Of each others
corruption and prohigacy as they did lies
about Mr.. Van Buren's Administration
And they have brought disgrace upon
themselves, (if tina: were possible, and dis
honor upon the country, at any rate.
The people heard the promises of the
Federal party before election. They have
seen what they have done and what they
have left undone since, and in nearly all the
State elections that have been held, have
placed their seal of condemnation upon
them. In 1914, the whole Union will con-
firm the sentence, as with voice Of thun-
der.-.Bay State Democrat.

Jackson. the GeoIogist of Maine, gives

territory near Penooscot Forks, which
gives graphic feature ofthat part Of the
country, and makes it one of the most sub
line and imposing formations. Mount

granite, whose treeless summit, having no
vegetable growth but few bushels of The
mountain cranberry and spicy blue-berries !,

ing up almost perpendicular crags. twas
ascertaned to be $500 feet elevation, the
highest in Maine. What is remarkable e.
that in this granite formation was found
diluvial limestone, showing the sea had
been there; and in the, same region linss-
stone with scoriaceous tray melted and inn
brectated into its seam, IN an elegant man
ner, showing also, that volcanic action had
been at work. From one high mountain,
the Sugar Loaf Cone, he saw around him
no less than fifty lofty peaks, and ssxenteen
mountain lakes, cascades Of 200 feet fail,
&c. Why, this Aroostook country must
hereafter be called the Alpine Regions
Of Maine.

A bad speculation-a fellow lately es-
capped from the Jail in keene, N. H., and
was taken short time after in 4 Ellington.
VT. His captors we're proceeding TO Jail
with him, when they were met by two men
from Charleston in pursuit. These men
purchased the prisoner Of his captors for
$3.50; thinking 10 get the reward Of $500
offered for his apprehension. They stop
ed at Lansgrove for the night, and secured
the fugitive with heavy timber chain,
and set two large dogs TO watch him
They also resolved to watch him them
selves, but about two O'Clock both men and
dogs fell asleep, and the fellow silly crept
out, cut off his shackles with an axe, and
cleared. The editor of the Ciarmont E.a-
gle, who tells the story says he should like
to have seen the fellows who had to fork
over the one hundred and fifty dollars.

The PROGRESS OF The WEST.
St LoQis ard its Trade. We alluded
recently to the wonderful progress Of St.
Lopis. We have been furnished by the
81, Louis Chamber Of Commerce with much
statAs'ical reformation in relation to the
growth OF that city and the Western coun-
try generally. In 1880, the population Of
ST. Louis was $685.. Ii is now rising 25.-
900. During the year l84l, 30,O00,000
OF bricks were made in the city, 25,000,-
600 of shch were sold and used in that
place. There re steam-saw mills there,
3 mills for planning boards, 2 white lead
factories, oil mills, and -four mills
The frst insurance Office was established
in 1881. There are nov Offices, the total
marine risks Of which amount to upwards
OF s5S 100000. In lSH, the receipts Of
lead from the Galcna mines, amounted TO
1000 pigs, valued at So ,OOO,0 The
growing crops of tobacco will, it is said;
range at from ID to $4,000 hhds. The
importation to ST Louis, Of cloths, blankets,
etc, intended for the Anne rican fur trade.
is set down at $225,0OO per annum, and
the exports and home consumption Of buff
iaIo robes, peltries, &c. 100000 The
American Fur Company employs several
steam and other boats, and several thou
sand men. Their boats at least once a
wear. ascend the Missouri 10 the mouth Of
the Yellow Stone. Hemp is another sta
pie of Missouri. 1t is estimated that the
crop for 1912 will, in Illinois and Missou-
ri, amount to not less than 10000 TONS
This hemp is worth 100000 in a raw
state. But the most valuable exports from
ST. Louis and the country connected to 1t,
are bacon, pork and lard. During the pre-
sent winter. AZ 900 hogs were slaughtered
at Alton and 10000 at Peoria; while it is
said the Illinois river, with the Alton trade,
sends out annually not less than 5000 tons
of pork. The value of this item alone, is
given at 81, 5000 Flour and wheat,
are also important articles and show an an
nual aggregate of nearly $1,000, OO0.-
About 800 horses, 1890 mules. and g.
900 head Of cattle, were during 1S4l sent
10 the South. The imports are estimated
in 1S4I, at S20,000,000.
These are but few Of the facts grouped
together by the Board Of Trade, but they
are calculated to convey forcble impress
sion as TO the onward progress of the west.
1t is estimated that in 1S4l, Sl5.OOO.OOO
in exchange we're sold in st. Louis. Last
wear the number Of steamers on he Miss
issippi and its tributaries, was 437, about
$50 OF which were employed in the St.
Louis trade, during whole or great por-
ton Of the year.

STRANGE AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. time
last summer we Published "a notice Of the
death Of young lady in this city. The
notice Of her death was handed in by her
father, gentleman whose many excellent
qualities command the esteem Of all who
know him, and who appeared deeply af-
hicted at the loss he had sustained We
have lately learned that the young lady's
life was insured in London for $4,000
and that the company have declined pay
ing on the ground tina: they have not been
duly certified Of her death, and have writ
ten on here for evidence. About the time
Of the alleged death of the young lady, one
Of our physicians was called in to prescribe
Cor a young woman at the house Of the
gentleman alluded TO. He did net think
his patient dangerously sick, gave her some
medicine, and knows nothing more. The
sexton did not see any corpse, and the Off
ciating clergyman says that during the per-
Torrance Of the funeral soemnies the cof-
fin was closed. From our acquaintance
with the father we cannot beleAe him gull
ty Of practicing any fraud in this matter,
and in justice TO him, we think the grave
should be opened by the sexton, and an ex-
animation made by physicians and other
proper and discreet persons.-Buf. Adr.

THE GHEBERs OF PERSIA.

The Ghebers or Kebers of Persia, a race
Of fire-worshippers although heathens, be-
lieve in the SOULS Immortality, and in a
place of perpetual happiness appointed for
the righteous, and also believe in everlast-
ing punishment for those whose souls are
condemned. Upon the death of any of
their tribe, they resort 10 the following me-
thods 10 determine whether the soul Oh the
departed is safe from purga,ory. AS soon
as a death happens among them, they let
out cock from the house of the deceased
and fit happened TO be snapped up by fox
they concluded the soul of the dead person
to be safe. Besides this custom they have
another method, which they usually adopt
to arrive at the wished for intelligence:
which is to attire the corps of any individ-
pal whose mortal career is ended, in the
best habiiments and ornaments which he
possessed while living, and when having
so done. to carry the body TO their place Of
interment, and there set it up erect, which
- effected by means of forked support
used on such occasions. Whilst the body
remains thus situated its proper duration
OF time, If raven or other bird of prey
aights, and chances to peck out its right
eye, they iniallibly conclude HIM safe.
On the contrary, sis the left is removed,
they are certain of his everlasting condem-
nation, and never fail accordingly to cast
the body disgracefully into its grave head
foremost.-Edred
