The London Athenaum gives an interest
ing account of some curious experiments
recently made by M. Clemens, Professor
of Natural Sciences in the College Of We

was to test the effects of ether on vegeta-
bic life and sensitiveness. The results of
his experiments he has communicated in
a memorial to the Academy ofSciences of
the canton of Vaud, and these go to prove
that vegetables are as susceptible to the
effects of ether as are animals.
STATE OF EuRopE.-The last European

financial crisis with her c~onsols down to SO.
France is making a new loan Of 35O,O0O,-
600 francs, for a deposit of 10000, 900

fish intervention, been thrown into a state
Of torpor, from which the energy of Count
Das .Autas had raised her. In Spain fac
tions are growing every day more power
full, in order to prepare the way for a third
Intervention of France. Switzerland is de-
termined to resist foreign Intervention into
its national affairs, and Cardinal Ferretti,
the newly appointed, liberal and beloved
Secretary of State of Rome, has protested
against the armed occupation by the Aus
TRAN "locusts of tyranny" of the papal city
of Ferrara. There seems to be no doubt
that Prince Metternich, who is as great a

Coon REToRr.-Ah humorous young man
was driving a horse, which was in the hab-
it of stopping at every house on the road side.
Passing a country tavern, where were COL
lected together some dozen countrymen,
the beast, as usual, ran opposite the door
and then stopped in spite of the young man
who applied the whip with all his might to
drive the horse on, the men on the porch
commenced a hearty laugh, and some en-
quired if he would sell that horse? sYes,'
said the young man, shut l cannot recon-
mend him, as he once belonged to a butch

COMFORT FOR HoMELY WoMEx.-Beauty,
says Lord Kaines, lis dangerous property,
tending to corrupt the mind of wife, though
it soon loses its influence over the husband.
A figure agreeable and engaging, which
inspires affection without the ebriety of
love, is a much safer choice. The eraces
lose not their influence like beauty. "A vir-
tuous woman, who makes an agreeable
companion, charms her husband perhaps
more than at first. The comparison of love
to fire holds good in one respect, that the
hercer it burns the sooner it il extlnguish-

the ugliest person he ever saw, present
company excepted.
Now this mistake was perhaps worse
than that of the boy who, speaking of the
greatest mar he ever saw, was told by his
mother he must always except their minis
tiers. A few days after he rushed into the

AN INTERESTING PICTURE.

Bennett, in one of his recent letters from
London, speaking of the advance Of Re-
publican Principles In England, closes with
the following glance at things as they are:
"This will be a e great and a long struggle,
for in England reform has terrible obstacles
to overcome. As yet, England will go on
for years in her present hum-druIn pace.
Parliament will try to legislate away all
their social evils-but all legislation will
be f~ruitless to relieve the social evils of
Ireland, or any part of the country. The
aristocracy maintains 100000 servants
100000 horses-5OO,OO 600 dogs-1OO,OO 900
grouse, and 100000 game of all kinds, all
to minister to their pride and pleasure
These men, beasts and birds consume the
food of idleness. which would feed the star
wing Irish, and all others of the lower class.
Here is the dangerous condition of Eng
land-a condition that is increasing in mag
nitude every year, aid reaches a crisis
whenever any of the crops fail. 1t is a
social evil, which mere ordinary legislation
cannot reach. The only natural avenue to
a remedy is through universal suffrage and
the ballot-but, although this idea is devel-
oped stronger at the present election than
ever before, it is yet far from any point of
success. In a population of 27,0OO, 900,
which is nearly the numbers of the three
kingdoms, only about 800, 900 are electors,
$4,000 persons hold all the land Of the en-
pire, including mountains, hills, rocks, riv-
ers and moors. The government alone
claim a property in the sun and heavens a.
bove, and accordingly levy a heavy tax on
very air that is breathed. Yet the modern
Englishman talks much of his liberty, and
effects to look with superciliousness on the
democracy of America"

Horrible Accident.

Mn. MoRR1s-A most calamitous accident
occurred in this (Seneca) township, on Thursday
morning last. Mr.. Genus Stats, while engaged
with his thrashing Machine, in getting out the
wheat of James Law, by some misfortune engaged
his hand in the fly wheel OF the machine, and in an
instant his whole arm from his hand to his shoulder
was literally torn and mashed to pieces; his face
too was mangled in dreadful manner. The
writer joins many others in saying that it was the
most heart.rending scene he ever beheld. The
husband and father, thus horribly manged, and
weltering in his own blood-tbe wife, and larger
children and friends, bewaiing the appalling acci.
dent that had fallen upon them was truly an
affecting scene. Medical aid was Immediately sum.
noned, and the unfortunate mans arm was ampu.
tated near the shoulder by Drs Statter g. Stout,
in the presence of Drs. Ellsworth, McGoary s.
Joseph. The unfortunate man bore his sufferings
with unusual firmness. He is now under the care

The Ma,amoras Flag Of the 4th inst
says:
ADVANCE UPON SAN LUls-From Ma.
jor Arthur, formerly quartermaster al
Cerralvo, we learn that Gen. Wool has
received orders to proceed with the ad-
vance of Gen Taylor's column, on the
2Olh instant, in the direction of Encar.
nacion some twenty leagues from Buena
Vista, where he will establish a depot,
into which three months rations will be
thrown. The army will then advance
on San Luis and communication be
opened with Tampico or Tuspan, from
whence supplies will be received. All
the mules, and other means Of transpor.
thtion, have been ordered above, and
activity prevails throughout the whole
department.
From our young friend, Mr. DaPonte
who came passenger on the Telegraph
from Malumoras, we learn that Major
Crossman, quartermaster at Camargo,
received imperative orders OH the 29th
ult.to have all the necessary supplies and
means Of transportation in Monterey,
by the Goth inst. Four hundred wag-
ons, as part Of those means, have been
forwarded on from the Brazos.
The following items are from the Mat.

Robbery, rape. and hanging, appears
to be the order of the day among the
rancheros in the neighborhood Of Mat.
amoras. A few days ago party Of
robbers went to the house ofa Mexican
in the country, and while a few amused
themselves by hanging the man, the rest
perpetrated the two first named crimes.
There are bands Of awless desperate
Mexicans prowling about our vicinity,
whom i. would be well for our scouting
parties to look for. The hanged Mex
lean was not much hurt; the object of
his tortures being more to divert his al
tention from what the others were doing
than anything else.

Gently despatched to the neighborhood
Of Parras, to destroy the crops OF corn,
&c., in that region. The resident Mex
