SICKNESS.

During the month of August, sick
ness, 10 an alarming extent, has prevail
ed throughout the surrounding country.
In this immediate vicinity, we have had
but little 10 complain of. In a location
like ours, high and dry, and far above
the reach Of the sickening miasma which
rises from the ponds and sloughs of the
bottoms, we could not, in reason, ex-
pect aught else but health. But from
other portions of the country, we hear
the most alarming accounts. A disease
whose malignity and rapioity is only e.
qualed by the cholera, has visited the
domicil of the rich and the poor-all
have shared alike.
In more cases than one, SO rapid has
been The progress of the disease, that
science itself, has shrunk back appalled,.

WORK: 4 DUTY.

LET no farmers wife think her
children too good 10 labor; but, on
the contrary, let her strive early To
Tx habits Of industry. Let every
mother teach her sonS, that while la
b1r on the farm is honorable, idle
ness, ignorance and vice a'one bring
reproach. And when this lesson is
thoroughly impressed on her son, &
corresponding habits are formed. that
son Will be likely t,make an efficient
man and a useful citizen, whether he
be following a profession. or be en-
-aCed IN the safe and more pleasant
pursuit of agriculture. But when
the mother without this lesson. and
without these haoits, undertake 10
make her son a gentleman, she Is far
more likely to make him a loaler.
"Let parents labor 10 give ali their
children Il good education. Let the
absurd notion that a farmer needs no
education. he banished from every
dwelling. There IS no pursuit. where
Intelligence, and 4 we'll cultivated
and Il we'll disciplined mind, is more
necessary, than in proper manage
ment OF the farm. Let the mind be
ENLARGED by knowledge Of history,
political economy. and especially the
sciences connected with agriculture.
Lei the young farmer enrich his mind
by general reading. Let him thor
Ouchly understand our political insti-
%tutIons; and be able to judge OF his
political rights and duties without the
all o! some demagcgue who had "a
Their devote his time 10 watchitL o.
yer tie public interests, than 10 the
pursuit of hoLest industry. In short,
let the farmer be able to reason. TO
examine. and 10 iudge for hunself, y
he will soon take the elevated stand
IN society to when his calling enti-
ties him. and he vii no longer have
the opportunity Of complaining that
professional men have too much in
tluence. This will have a great ten
dency To attach farmers SONS TO their
home and to their iarmS."

THE DOUBLE DISTRICTS.

In laying off the State into Senatorial
Districts for the election of members TO
the Convention, the Legislature made
three double districts. What object
this was intended to accomplish, but to
destroy the might Of the Wing coun-
ties, we have not been able 10 ascertain.
But in this, it has failed most signaily;
for in two out Of the three double dis
tricts made at the last legislature, the
Wings, notwithstanding the large ma
~jorities against them, have elected four
members, where the politicians c~alcula-
ted there would be no Wing opposition,
Such results should teach our leaders,
that 10 retain supremacy, we must be
just; and that political power cannot be
perpetuated without a just regard to
the rights of our opponents. The end
to be gained should be worthy of our
opposition, as well as the means used
Tor that purpose. The end, does not
%sanctify The means, more in politics than
in morals; and as a general rule, the peo-
pie will discountenance and discard
whatever has not its foundation in JUS
tice and right. The history of parties
in this country has afforded many cx-
amples Of this kind.

4 True Piciure.--A Young man
who formerly lived in New York,
and who by some good fortune or
other, during 4 short residence in En-

sum Of money. on his return to that

"A source OF great amusement to

many new senses, when discovered
so many wealthy men who compose
the Goldfish ar~istocracy of New York,
extending their hands to me, and ex-
pressing their great delight at seeing
me again, although before | left New

looked down upon me with diSdain if

them. | really forgot, till they fore

If the accredited estimates of the
Mexican forces be nearly accurate,
and we do not doubt that thew are,

Western frontier of Texas.

Our town has lately been visited by
q number of artists, who live BY their
wits and the credulity Of the public
OF these, we desire TO call the attention
of the public, particularly to a fellow
who is exhibiting the ninth Wonder
Of the World" as his bills term it, and
is nothing more than a piece of human
deformity, a human being in every thing
except the perfection of its limbs and
features. This impostor advertises it
as a sort of half man-half beast-and
a little i~mpregnated with the devil-as
4 native Of the Island of Borneo, and as
having excited the curiosity ofthe learn
ed and scientific in Boston and New
York. But the imposture is too thin TO
mislead any one, and We only wonder
that this fellow has escaped a Goa: of tar
and feathers, or an egging, as long as he
has. Our citizens had some thought Of
giving him an introduction TO the latter,
and we care not how soOn he NAV meet
with either. He that can thus coin cop
pers out of the Determines of humanity,
