are good they will not alter them, but such

The appearance of Thos. w. Newton in
the House to-day, claiming a seat as Wing
Representative from Arkansas, created no
little sensation Various opinions as to the
best mode of disposing of him agitated the po-
litical majority. A cold tremor conyulscd the
limbs of all. AS soon as the intensity of as
constituent had subsidized, and members re
covered the use of their faculties, many prop
ostions were submitted to the consideration
Of the House. Mr. Houston, of Ala. seems to
think that rs there was no record on the
books of Gov. Yclls resignation, there was
no vacancy and therefore Arkansas could not
be represented in the House SO thought
one of his colleagues, whose name is not IA
mihar to me. Mr. Rathbun, of our State, pre-
tcrred the reference of Mr. Newton to the
Committee on Elections, as kind Of half
way measure of diplomacy. lie evidently
was unpreparcd to encounter the phcnome-
non. Mr. Simpson and Mr. Burt Of S. c. rep
resent South Carolina whose Democracy is
more liberal, and they recommended the bold
fact of his admission, leaving to the Committee
Of Elections the pro, foi1aaI examination Of his
credentials.
And so it was done. Thos. w. Ncwton

in the lower house, he need not fear decided
councils. He is to himself a caucus and de-
cree. His enjoyment Of parliamentary hon
ors may but endure lunar revolution; tenn
porary even as that, it constitutes an indeli-
Bile record in the annals of his State, and in

party has lost
After the admission Of Mr. Newton, the
House resolved itself into committee, and took

teen years old, was on Saturday taken from a
brothel bya police officer; at the request OF
her parents, Justice Osborne entrusted her
to the care Of Mrs Foster, the matron Of the
City Prison,in order that if possible she might
be reclaimed. 1t is to be hoped that she may
be saved, freed of stains already suffered, and
restored to self-respcct and usefulness. But

Indirectly, has condemned 10 shame and mis-.

foul and fatal corruption, Legislators and di-

TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. The steamer
Tuscaloosa left our wharf about o'clock on
Tuesday evening, on her way to Tuscaloosa,
and after proceeding about 10 or | miles up
the river, an explosion Of two OF her boilers
took place, which instantly killed several Of
the passengers and many Of the boats crew
and officers.
On landing it was found impossible to Oh
tain dry footing, as the banks Of the river
were ovcrllowel. In this condition, those who
were able climbed trees, &c, where they re-
manned in view of the burning ruins forabout
three hours, when fortunately the steamboat
james Hewitt hove in sight, and was shortly
alongside the wreck when assistance was I'M
mediately given to al! within reach The
Hewitt returned to the city with all Of the
survivors.

OGDENsBURG RAILROAD. A careful re-
survey OF this road has been made, and the
line much improved. A project is on foot to
carry the road by Rouso's Point, crossing the
outlet of the lake, by boat, and thence we
conclude, by boats from Alburgh, across Mis-
sisquoi Bay to the main land on the east side
of the Lake. This plan must add very con-
sidcrably to the distance, and will, we are
satisfied, be abandoned, as the water carriage
is not only leSscned while the distance is in
creased. The only feasible plan to connect
with Burlington in the winter, is, to cross
from Cumberland Head TO South Hero Island,
distance of less than three miles There the
channel is deep, and can be kept open in the
winter by an icc-boat. From thence the
sand bars extend to the east shore in Milton,
They are Travelled over most Of the year by
wagons, and a railroad can easily be made
across these flats. The Ogdensburg road is
to be commenced early in the spring.
We see the Portsmouth journal, in advo
eating a railroad from Concord to that place,
speaks Of the vast Importance of the Ogdens-
burg road, and the great trade from the up
per lakes which will pass over it by way fthe
9 CentraW and Northern" to Concord, the
great M0rouglfWc for all that business. 1t
thence argues, that from Concord, freight
would naturally seek shipping at Portsmouth,
- miles from Concord, instead Of going &c 10
Boston, if railroad was made between the
two places, The editor seems to be ignorant
that there are two other roads in process of
building, from Burlington to Boston, one of
which, the Rutland road, will make the dis
lance from Burlington to Boston nearly as
short as between Burlington and Portsmouth
This latter, being more than 20 miles shorter
than the road via Concord, will be likely to
take the lions share Of the business Of the Og-
densburn road.-N Il Sentinel.

therefore published, with the fullest and most
confident reliance on its efficacy.
As soon as an animal is found to be chok-
ing, pour into his mouth from bottle pint
of oil, rubbing the throat externally ut the
same time with your hand. A triond who,
by the way, is 21iliuil veterinary surgeon,
assures us that he has never known thisremedy

and facilitates the election OF the obstructing
substance, without the slightest pain. If oil
