In the city Of Rochester, last week,
saw farmers receiving dollar and a
quarter a busIcl for this great staple Of
Genpsce valley, and happen to know
that more money was collected for tolls
on the Erie Canal during the second
week in September than in any other
week since it was completed in 1925.
They are now making in Rochester a

any atmosphere, the temperature Of
which is above that of rs deg. Faren-
heii. Although clothes, when properly
applied are productive Of no disease. yet
as people never take cold while they are
naked, when every part Of The body is
exposed 10 the same temperature, clu-
thing must be regarded as the cause of
such diseases as arise from their use.
2. Clothing being a slow conduct or
Of heat, causes the sensation Of warmth
when applied 10 the skin, by reiarding
the passage of caloric (the cause ofheat)
from the surface of the body on,wards.
Dry air is also a very slow conductor,
and will more especially ac, is clothing
while it is kept at rest by any means, as
it is when diffused amonst dawn or wad.
ding. or between layers of fabric.
3. Air set in motion conducts the
heat from the skin faster than ali re.
naming at rest.
4. Wet clothing is a quicker conduc-
tor Of heat than that which is dry. Moist
air conducts faster than dry.
5. The diseases spoken of are caused
by the application OF heat or warmth to
a greater part Of the surface Of the body,
whilst smaller part is left exposed to a
colder temperature; the ensuing disease
arising solely from the inequality of the
application.
6. Any part Of the surface Of the body
can be Injured to bear. with diminished
risk, temperature different from what
the other pats, for tho time being, are
exposed to. But some parts are more
intraclable in educating or inuring than
others, the clanium especially, which
nature seems to have designed to be
kept warmer than the res, of the body,
by clothing it herself. Such part of the
body as has been educated with thick.
er covering than the rest, it is more dam
gerous 10 uncover.
z. A cold taken in diseased part is
far more dangerous than one taken in a
healthy part.
8. No operson will ,ake cold by expo,
sure to any sudden alteration in the
temperature Of the atmosphere, howeve,
great or small, provided the principle
contained in the foregoing maxims be
followed. A person may, in general
consider himself safe, if he feels the
attack (not intolerable) of either hea
OF cold, on every part Of bis body alike
however sudden.
A common cough is usually the resul
Of clothing the person very warm, al
excepting the head, for which reason
one is usually safer without a surtou
than with one.

Ito resume siis duties and stating that
if he wanted help during the night, he
would ring his bell, the poor fellow was
left with the best wishes of his friends.
The morning came; in obedience to
his wishes, one Of the men went up TO
awake him, when it was discovered tha,
the sprightly, jocose. noble spirited Mi
cbael was liIeless corpse! A jury Of
inques, being summoned, ii was satisfac>
torily proved that the prescription was
for fifteen grains sulphate "morphine,"
dose sufficient to have: destroyed the
same number of men. 1t is stated, also,
and generally understood that the doctor
intended" 10 prescribe "quinine," !" but
unfortunately made mos, lamentabe
mistake:
IT is rumored that an effort was made
by certain members Of the jury 10 keep
the proceedings as much as possible
from public view and that some of them
refused to relate any Of the circumstan>
ces which transpirsd thereon. This
inquest was called for no other purpose
than 10 evoke all the facts of the case,
and when those facts were obtained il
was equally due to The physician as to
the public, thai they should be pronul-
gated.
Few physicians have ever enjoyed a
higher degree of confidence than d.,
Thomas. His skill is unques,ionabIe.
His error has proved fatal. To-day
have heard of one or two other cases,
within few years, which might have
proved equally disastrous, had not the
apo,hecary detected them in time.

WHERE SYMPATHY is NEEDED.

To Judge from the case reported in
the Northern papers, one would sup
pose that the abolIlionisls might find
at home, ample room for the display Of
til , delicate sensibiIity, generosity, and
philanthropy, Of which they profess 10
have SO large a supply. But like The
sensitive fair one, who repulsed a STAR
wing woman from her door with SEQ

you worthless vagabond," whilst her
eyes were sufTused with tears Of sym.
pathy, at the fictitious sulTerngs of a

saints, can only be affected by imogin-
arg miseries. Like the PharIsee in
Scripture, the Abolilionists, thank God
that they are not as other man--and

whilst the beam selhshness) is so
large in their own ,,es.as to blind them.
Surrounded by real objects of charity,
by men, women, and children, stepped
10 the lips in misery, wrclchedness and
destitution-they neither see, not aid
them. And with a poor widowed white
woman, dying with starvation on their
door steps-lhcy sit in their snug par

heard Of such case as tine following, or
any thing like il-occuring in the South.
We clip it from late No. of n. Y. Sun,
and so common are such cases that
from the Northern press, they scarcely
produce n remark:
THE POOR SEAMSTRESS.
"A poor creature was found WANDER

Station House she stated that she work.

street. She received six cents each,
but was forced to find her own thread,

The following note, which we find in
the National lnIelligencer OF Saturday,
explains itself:

but one answer. 10 the question.
The post Of Governor of South Caro-
lima is one OF great distinction, which
should be conferred by The spontaneous
will of The sovereign power. To know,
therefore, who the candidates are, in
order 10 a full and free discussion OF
their respective merits, the people
should demand. While several gent|e>
men have been privately spoken Of as
fit and proper persons for tie Guberna-
,orial chair, tho names Of three only
have appeared in The public prints.
Major Eaves recently has been announc.
ed in one or more of the up-coun'ry
papers. This is also true, ! think, Of
Judge Richardson. The Hon. White
malsh 3. Seahrook has been nominated
in the Abbeville and Laurrns journals,
and more recently by public meetings
in the Parishes Of St. Johns Berley and
ST. Stephens.
II there be olIier candidates, it is their
duty as we'll as that of their friends no
longer 10 conceal their names from the
public eye. No good to the communi'
ty, nor 10 themselves, can result fiom
pursuing such course. Are they un>
willing to submit their qualifications
and claims TO the Judgment Of the pco'
pile? Do they rely for success on party
machinery when the Legislature shall
have assembled. This do no, believe.
The private character of every one
who has been mentioned in connection
with the Governors Office, forfeits The
supposI,iou.

dressed a series ofletters to Russell Jars
Wis, on the subject of Slavery and Free
Territory, which appear in the N. Y.

we present the following characteristic
extract.
at is not for men TO arraign the de-
crees of the Almighty, or TO dispute.
His divine will; nor has man right 10
establish a higher standard OF morals
than that which he has authorized and
Instituted. A trancendentaI religion
and philosophy may conslrue the Bible
as their wishes and professions may die
tate, and substitute laws and ordinances
oftieir own, but belong to that race
chosen as witnesses by the Almighty Of
His unity and omnipotence, and have
no other guide than the Bible, in its
plain aud palpable meaning, and there
we find Slavery recognized, and hu>
namely regulated. So likewise will you
find i, in the New Testament. The
universal prayer says, "7hy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven" Not
our will or our wishes. .'-Hamburg Re-
