RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.

The election for Governor and mem
bers of Senate and House of Representa-
tives took place in Rhode Island on We'd
nesday. The Providence Journal OF yes
terday says:
The election went off yesterday quietly
and without excitement. There was no
opposition to the Rhode Island prox. in
this city, probably in mos: of the towns,
there was no opposition for members Of the
General Assembly. The election, hcwev-
er, has not been without glory. Smith
field and Cranston have been redeemed,
and two Senators and Representative add.
ed TO our strength in tho General Assem-
bly,.
The absence oil all opposition is a most
gratifying evidence of the deep and in
creasing attachment 10 the principles OF
law and order which anmates the people
of Rhode Island. The Dorrites in the
General Assembly, unless they make
gains in some other parts Of the State, are
reduced to seventeen. Ten oil those who
signed the memorial have been left at
home.

Our election for town officers cane off
yesterday. The Van Buren, party made
powerful effort 10 cary their Supervi.
sor, but they were met by the indomitable
Wings and Union boys with an unbroken
front and an unconquerable spirit. The
result is glorious and overwhelming de-
feat Of the Van Buren, candidate for Su-
pervisor. John V. l.. Oyerbagh, The
Wing candidate, is elected by ls6 major
iiy over Jacob Snyder, Loco. Tbs result
has electrified the Wings and filed The
Van Bureniies with disappointment and
dismay. One year ago last Fall, Mr.. Rus

gress, carried this town by lS4 majority.
Now look at the result this Spring and last

Glow. WoRM.-The light OF the glow-woru,,
one of the staple commodities of descriptive
poets and sentimental naturalists, has lately
been investigated by NJ. Matielcci, who has
addressed a notice to the Academy OF sciences
containing the results,,of his experiments
When submitted to clinical tests, the phenom.
ena constituting the phosphorescence ofthis in-
sect are found TO be strictly analogous to those
manifested by several luminous plants, many
marine anima)cules, and all decaying animal
matter, as every individual must have witness
ed in fish at a certain stage Of decomposition.
If placed in carbonic acid or hydrogen gass,
the phosphorescent matter CT the glow.worm
ceases 10 shine after space Of thirty or forty
minutes. In oxygen gass the most powerful
supporter of combus,on,) the light is more
brilliant than in atmospheric air. and remains
brilliant for nearly triple the length CT time.
When it shines in the air, or in oxygen gass,
n j, I'm eespondas vos%e ~ u
acid; but when there is an impossibility OF light
being emitted, there is no oxygen absorbed, u
no carbonic acid emitted. Heat augments to
certain extent the briliancy Of the phosphor-
escent matter, whereas cold produces the OPP
posite effect; and when the heat Is too great
ihe substance is altered. The same thing
takes place when it is left in the air; or IN some
passes for certain time, that is, when the sub
Stance is separated from the animal. Inc
matter so altered is no longer capable OF emit
ting light, or Of becoming luminous. FROM Q.
these facts, M. Maueucci concludes that !he
phosphorescence Of the glow.worm is phe'
| nomenon Of combustion-the result OF the com
bination Of the oxygen of the air with carbon
which is one Of the principal elements OF the
phosphorescent matter.

L1rE.-We have known some persons in
this world who, gliding quietly through life.
have floated on upon the stream Of ,inre like a
boat on the waters Of broad and tranquil rlv.
er. carried on by the unruffled tide OF prosper
i,y, and lighted to their journeys end by the
cloudIess sun Of happiness. And we have met
with others whose star seemed to rise in clouds
to hold its course through storms, and TO set IN
blacker darkness than that which gave birth:
But long continued Joy loses its first zes'. and
uninterrupted sorrow its first pognancy; habit
robs even misery Of its acuteness; and one that
is long endured brings along with it the power
of long endurance. 1t is the sudden transition
from ioy TO sorrow that is the acme of human
suffering, adding bitterness Of regret for past
enjoyment 10 ali the pangs Of present distress.
