Committee OF Pubic safety.

We have been waiting to see what "ul-
terror measures" would be taken by the
Committee of Public Safety, in the emer-
gencies of the times. We are happy TO
say, that their appointment has produced
the most sautary effect, so much so that
all Parties-Whigs, Democrats. Liberty
Men, &c.-unite in praise in this wise
policy. The Wings have everywhere ex-
pressed the most uumingled satisfaction.
Not only so; but the very appointment
has operated as a sedative on the dis.
turbed nerves ofthe Revoutionists. Nay,
it has ameliorated the general condition
of society. The number of cases on the
Mayors Docket is diminished The
criminal courts have less to do-our po-
litical factionists hide their diminished
heads. There is universal conviction
that society is safe, and that the very
names ofthe warlike and dignifed Com
mittee have awed treason into silence =
vice into repentance-crime into flight
and converted donkeyism into common
sense.--Cn. Chronicle.

Anglo Saxon word has and band, which
signify the "bond ofthe house. and it was
anciently spelt" housebond." and contln,
ued to be spelt thus in some editions OF
the English Bible, after the introduction
of the art of printing. A husband, then

HINTS TO LOVERS OF FLowERs.-A
most beautiful and easily attained show
of evergreens may be had by a very
simple plan, which has been found TO
answer remarkably well on a small scale.
If geranium branches taken from luxuri-
ant and healthy trees just before the
winter setsin, be cut as for slips, and
immersed in soap water, they will, after
dropping for few days, shed their leaves
put forth fresh ones. and continue in the
finest vigor all winter. BY placing a
number of bottles thus filed, in IA flower
basket, with moss to conceal the bottles
a show of evergreens is easily insured ful
the whole season. They require nj
fresh water.

to knock rock to pieces, kindle fire un-
der it catch the vapor, and it rolls off a
liquid stream ofquicksilver. Every con
cievabe vessel is now in requisilion for
collecting the precious vapor. Some take
their pots from their kitchen, and some
the warming pans from their beds-all
catching and condensing vapor. Quick
silver will soon be so plenty here, that
we can fix our pumps for thermometers
our lakes for mirrors, and the doctors

STRANGE SuIClDE.-A week or two
since, man named Bruce, living near
Cincinnati. committed suicide in the fol-.
lowing manner:
"He went to the church yard dug his
grave beside his wife, who had been bu-
ried some sixteen months before. Hav-
ing procured a coffin under some pre-
tence, he conveyed it to its destination un-
observed. He then took of his clothes,
except his shirt, put on night cap, and
laid himselfin the coffin which he had
previously placed in the newly made
grave, with loaded pistol in it. He
now drew on the cover of the coffin. and
placing the pistol TO his right temple fired
it. 1t is supposed he died Instantly
There was no doubt that Bruce was era
zy, as he had been partially so since his
wife's death.

theArcadia Cotton Factory: "ltis worked
entirely by slave labor, runs "a looms,
and turns out 1000 yards of cotton per
day. The cost the raw materials is the
great element of expense in the manu-.
featuring of coarse cotton goods. When
cotton is worth six cents at Pensacola,iI
is worth u cents laid down at Lowell
The Arcadia Factory will, when compile
ted, work up 1000 lbs. per day. Here is
a clear saving of SIS per day in the raw
material alone, enough probably to feed
all the operatives engaged inthe work."

CHLoRoFoRM AND ETHER.-Two am
putations were performed last week at
the Bellevue Hospital of this City, the
one that Of an arm by DR.. Cox one ofthe
Assistant physicians; and the other, that
of part of the foot, by DR.. Childs one of
the visiting Surgeons. In both cases The
patients were first rendered inscnsible
to pain by the use of Chloroform diluted
with four times its bulk of sulphurc ether
with which sponge was molstened and
held to the nostrils by resident Physi-
clan. DR.. Reese, who has had extensive
experience in the use of both chloroform
and ether, although this was the first time
these agents had been used here IN com
bnation. The complete success OF the
FIRST trial of the mixture, in both cases
would seem to confirm the inferencetha'
the Ether alone is too slow and uncertain
while the Chloroform by itself is oorapic
and hazardous in its efiecs, and hence
the union ofthese two agencies has beer
considered as likely to be more gradua
and safe. Both the patients were KEPT
in state of complete insensbllity during

Gen. Cass was once Indian Agent, and
Secretary of War, and although some Of
the records are burned up, those which
are in existance furnish much valuable
information, else the General is greatly

The General was once openly in favor
Of The Wilmot Proyiso. yet he readily
changed sides, and advocated slave ex.
tension. He once paid courly homage
to the King ofthe French, wrote book
in his praise of his Royal administra

French Court, all Americans to procure
"court dresses" before they could be pre-
sented, al the Palace of the Tuilleries
Yet when Louis PHILIPPE became All ex

the French, and his monarchical admin

letter was published signed by Lewis
Cass, endorsing the patriotism and gen
eralship of Gen. Harrison. Gen. Cas-
being at the time Minister to France
the authority of the letter was neithe
doubted nor denied, but recently this let
