to excite considerable attention in this county.

understand, without dissenting voice refused to
aprobate the first and and only appcan, To keep an
inn-al the tavern.keepers in the town have IL
cense to keep Temperance Houses. The Board
of Civil Authority in the towns of Cas,leton, Clar-
endon, Fairhaven. Pawlet, Pi,isford and Poul,ney,
have also refused to appreciate any persons in these
towns to be licensed as tavernk keepers. Some Of
these towns have also passed resolutions requesting
the County Court not TO license tavern keepers or
retailers in their respective towns.
1t is apparently, the determination of very
large majority of,he people in the towns, where
the experiment has been made, TO persevere in
this cause until the complete determination oil
intoxicating drinks is accomplished. The work
has SO far been carried on with great quetncss--
no camor is raiscd--no tumult, no commoion.

The trial of Mr. o Connell and others have been
concluded, and each Of the Travcrsers has been
found guilty, but the sentences have been deferred
until next term. In the mean time Mr. o. Connell
has made his way up to London and taken his
place in the House of Commons.
Some incline to the belief that no punishment
will be inflicted and that the moral effect will,
on that account be greater torture.than the Gov
eminent, in INSULTING tho prosecutions, did so,
not so much with the intention of punishment, as to
try the Legality Of The Repeal Meeting, and hav.
ing succeeded in obtaining verdict, are content to
pass over what has already occurred, being in a
position 10 stop at once any further procedngs-
Others contend that the conduct Of o. Cornell du-
ring the next few months will determine the ques.
ton of punishmcnt-that if mild and subdued in
his tone, no further notice will be taken of the

atve
In the meantime Mr. O. Cornell has, on behalf
of himself and his companions protested against
the verdictand has insimated that so soon as sem
tence shall have passed, he will have the matter
submitted to the whole body Of Judges in Ireland,
and that ftheir decision should be unfavorable, he
will appeal to the House of Lords, before he will

A Sernou for The Leares. Next to the Bible,
there is nothing that speaks more powerfully or
beautifully than the Seasons
Spriug breaks on, with the laughing mir,h and
freshness Of young child. Nature assumes n
roscaie hue and Joy is written on all Of God
works How checrily We watch the budding
leaves aud the unfolding flower. This is like
the dawn Of life. The young mind lives in the
presen, glory, and secs The future.
.Summer CONS; Nature is developed TIE
earth's carpet is spread the trees wave with their
perfect foliage; the flowers ere 10 gorgeous bloom
Heaven has impro ssed upon creation the highest
perfection One can hardly realize the idea tina,
these are perishablc. So it is with the carly noon
Of life We see man IN the pride Of his greatness
and strength, and woman in the surprising glory
Of her beau,y--bu, see moi the invisible mortality
gnawing beneath.
But Autumn is here And the flowers have
dropped and the "scar and yellow leaf" has fallen
from the chilled tree. The cold blast has driven
away the warm atmosphere, redoent with perfume
Death is written upon Nature, and Winters white
shroud will be soon thrown over her corpse. Sc
is it with life The changing seasons teach US Q
mournful lesson and yet to him whose heart j.
right il is beautiful as nournful
The death of nature is not an Everlasting
sleep" Ere many months il shall cast off its fu
neral gear, and spring up from itsgrare with new
lifcund bud and blossom as before Nature nevc
dies--it rests from its labours,
Thus il is with human exis,ance. The grea
principle of vitality in Nature is equally appica
bic to the spiritual as to the animal economy
The intellect may throw its vision beyond the snow
of LIES dreary Winter, and see itself in the bloom
of an eternal existence We pity tho man witt
csteems himself q. of less value IN the estimation

TIE NEW STEAMER.

The new Steamboat building at Whitehall, has
been the subject ofno little interest in this vicinity
for few months past. Many have been the sur.
misses as TO who was the proprietor. Some have
alleged it to the "new company" others TO the
odd" and of late we have heard it rumored that
Peter Comstock alone was at the bottom of the
project; but as yet no one knows save those who
are interested in its construction. She is now
building at the shipyard near Whitehall under
the superintendent of L. Collyer, Esq. of New
York, who bears the reputation Of a scientific and
practical ship builder The boa, is of the most
approved modl and the mechanical execution so
far is Of the best order. Three lines of timbers
run fore and aft the whole length of the boat and
are firmly bolted with nuts and screws to the bot
tom and upright tmbers. The icaiss are match.
ed into upright parts so that there is possibility
of settling in the centre, The length of the Boat
is 200 feet; breadth of the beam "a feet and wheel
20 feet in diameter The engine is to be construct
ed 10 New. York with all the recent improvements
and 20 doubt will be one of the frs. order. Her
cylinder Is 81 inches and the stroke 10 feet. The
draft of water with every thing on board will moi
exceed 4 feet.
Il is the aim of Mr. Collyer to make one Of the
bess steamers in the American waters She will
probably ply between Whitehall and Plausburgh

TEXAS.
BY the Governor,
Henry HALE, Secretary.

Some ofihe papers insist that there is no probable.
aty thatthere will be any direct act consummated
either BY the treaty making power or by Congress
for the annexation Of Texas. We certainly hope
1t may so turn out, but that there has been and
still is much reason for apprehension and soIici.
,sde on this subject is beyond all doubt The
messengers and dispatches that have passed be-
tween the Executives OF the two Governments the
canvass Of the Senate as published by Mr.. Walk.
cr, the Mississippi Senator, the invitation of Mr..
Calhoun to the Cabinet, with direct reference 10
that question as well as TO the Oregon question,
the course of the friends of annexation in the two
Houses OF Congress, the announced mission of
Mr.. Henderson from Texas to Washington, for,
tho sole purpose of conducting the negotiation,
and various other facts, render it perfectly certain
that serious and strenuous effort has been on foot
and WILL as we believe be continued to bring
about this anne Ration. lfthat effort is not likely
TO succeed we rejoice but It has most assnredly
been made, and there is still cause enough to warn
the people to look to it or the scheme will yet be
accomplished If it has met with unexpected obs
taclts and been brought to a stand il is owing we
dosbt not to the prompt and earnest expression Of
opinion against it.
Some of the considerations belonging to the
subject are well adverted to in the N. Y. True

To ARREST BLEEDiyG AT THE NosE.-Close with
the opposite hand the nostril from which the blood
flows, while the arm Of the same side is raised per-
pendicuarly above the head. In every instance in
which he has had recourse 10 this means during the
past three years, NJ Negrier has always found
tina, il suspended hemorrhage,-a fact thus explain
ed by him. When person stands in the ordinary
posture, with his arms hanging down, the force
needed to propell the blood through his upper ex-
tremties is about one half that which would be
required If his arms were raised perpendicular
above his head But since the force which sends
the blood through the carotid arteries, is the same
as that which causes it to circulate through the
bronchial arteries and there is nothing in the mere
position Of the arms above TO stimulate the heart
to increased action, it is evident that less vigorous
circulation through the carods must result from
the increased force required to carry on the circu
lation through the upper extremi,ics.

that every animal when dressed in human apparel,
very stkingly resembles mankind IN features:
for instance -.
Put frock, bonnet and spectacles on pig, and
it looks like an old woman of eighty A bull
dressed in an overcoat would resemble lawyer.
Tie few ribbons round cat, put fan in its paw,

cockeral in uniforms is general to the life. The
features of tiger call to mind those of sailor.-
A hedgehog looks like miser Dress monk.
