| NEwsPAPERs.-The following article on
the subject OF Newspapers and their adj
| vantages." was published originally in the
Long Island Star, some fifteen or twenty
years ago. 1t is SO full Of good sense tina,
we beg our subscribers, if they have
neighbor able to take a paper, and does
not, to lend him this number of our paper
TO read. The perusa Of it, by such men,
may add some fifty or a hundred to our
list, but we will endeavor to bear such an
afflic'on with becoming forttude:
" A newspaper is school ina family
Of children worth ten dollars gear. Even
the most barren paper brings something
| new. Children read or hear the contents,
become intelligent Of the affairs of the
world, and acquire store Of useful knowl-
edge of more Importance to them in life
than present Of fifty acres Of land Pa
rents are not aware Of the rast-we saw
with confidence the rast Importance of
| newspaper in family of children. We
have made the remark before, and we re-
peat it that take two families of children
equally smart, and both going to the same
school; let one Of them have the free use
of the Newspaper. and let the other be de-
| prived of the use of it, and it would excite
| astonishment to mark the difference be-
twden them. Full one half, and.an impor-
| tant half of education, as it respects the
business of the world and the ability to rise
and make ones self respectable in it's
derived from newspapers. What parent
would not wish his children respectable?
| Who would be willing to have. his neigh
! boris children more intelligent than his
own! and yet how trifing is the sum pa
per costs. 1t is even in these hard times
absolutely contemplate in amount, and no
man ever felt it, except in its beneficial
consequence, who paid the Inscription re-
gularly once year.
Truly we should suppose that if young
man goes to counting, and his sweethear,
| finds out that he reads no newspaper, she
would, if she thought much Of herself, send
| him away, as one uniformed Of his poll
| teal rghts-lgnorant Of thousand things
| which every young American ought to
know, and therefore unfit to be the hus-
band Of an intelligent girl"
The establishment Of d new line Of steam
| packets between Oswego and Chica go form
a new era in the commerce and navigation
Of the lakes. The new steamer Chicago,
| Capt. Malcolm, one Of the vessels forming
this line, called the New York, Oswego
and Chicago line leaves here Tomorrow,
June lst, for Chicago with passengers and
merchandise. She is now loading at the
| dock Of Messre. Bronson q Crocker, and
| has already over 60 passengers.
The Chicago is the handsomest craft,
| and the best adapted to the accommodation
of passengers and the conveyance of mer-
chandze that we have seen ahoat upon the
| lakes. The Nandalia, another Of the line,
leaves here on the 10th Of June, and the
Oswego, now nearly completed, leaves on
the ooh for Chicago. Osvego Herald.
REMARKABLE SIcKNEss.-Died in this
place, May 28lh, Mr.. Samuel Harrington,
aged 50 years; on the same day, Nancy,
his wife, aged Sc years. The circumstan-
| ces attending the death Of these two per-
| sons are very remarkable in their charac-
| ter, and We have endeavored to collect them
with some accuracy. Mr.. Harrington was
| the undertaken or sexton of the town, On
| the Odd OF April, .hirty-fve days previous
| TO his death, he buried a person who died
| Of erysipeas--a very bad and malignant
case. While adjusting the head of the
| corpse in the coffin he got some Of the mat
ter from the deceased person into slight
| cut in the ball Of his thumb made with
glass few days previous. Shortly after
| he experienced sensation of heat and
smarting in the wound. Very soon erv-
| sipelas distinctly manifested itself about
the cut. The wound began to inflame and
the hand TO swell-extendng up the arm
to the shoulder; the patient in the mean
time suffering great pain. The arm soon
commenced discharging profusely, and
| continued so TO discharge down 10 the time
| Of his death; when nearly the whole of the
cellular membrane had sloughed away
through large openings in the skin.
Mrs. Harrington took care Of her hus-
band till the 9th Of May, when she was
confined to her bed by sickness. She had
at first slight fever. In the course of
tw or three days disease similar to that
with which her husband was affected ma
| infested itself on one of her ANGLES, and
soon involved the whole Of the lower part
of that limb; and about the same time there
was n similar manifestation Of the disease
upon her wrist, which soon involved the
whole arm to her elbow. While suffering
under the disease she died. la the case
Of Mrs. Harrington, no fractures Of the
skin were discovered on the places where
the disease first manifested itself.
After the confinement Of the mother by
sickness. daughter took care of the fa-
Their. On the 10Th of May, she expert
