GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Senate,

UentteHeH oJ the DeHdH,
and House Of Representatives:
An evenifu year in the history OF nations
has Just drawn to close. II has summoned
you as il passed 10 The discharge,on more
of your annual constitutional duties and
obligations, under auspices inspiring every
trae American hoerl with renewed patriot
osm, and profound qd9fation and gratitude io
Almighty God, our national deliverer, and
benefcent beneiactor. Amidst the fearful
and sublime uprisiugs of the people Of Eu-
rope, and the consequent downfall Of dynas-
lies, thrones and dominions, the model Re
public, so long and so much scotied at by
the advocates of monarchy, stands serene
and unshakcn. Peace smiles again on all
her extended borders, and law, abundance,
freedom and con:entment reign Within
Questions Of foreign and domestic policy,
Of constitutional power and obligation, OF
peace and war, of freedom and slavery, may,
at times, awaken, as they should, the dor
mant energies Of her people, and the reno
waiting powers of her constitution. A great
party and its measures. may encounter the
silent but potent condemnation of the ballot
box. The President Of to-day, welding, in
wanionness, the power of twenty millions
Of people, may be weighed tomorrow in the
balance and found waning. Yet who does
not perceive that the great American Re-
public, purfied and strengthened by these
awakenings, remains fast anchored in virtue.

Provinces lately acquired from Mexico.
The General Appropriation Bill was

the persevering and patriotic efforts of

chIOroiorm Applied TO the skin.

! Some cases having recently occurred
in which fatal consequences were attIib.
uted 10 the inhalation of chOroform, sur
geons have been turning their attention
of fate to the employment of ibis power
ful sedalive locally, in order,o deprive of
sensation paris intended to be operated
upon. A very interesting experiment of
this kind was made at the Royal Corn
wall lnfrmary, in England, by Mr.. Spry,
on a!young man from the parish of Breage,
who had been suffering for seven years
from very painful tumor in the sole of
his left foot. The pain had been eradu.
ally increasing with the size of the swell
ling since December last, so that he could
not make single step without greatly
aggravating his sulferings. Folded lint
saturated with chloroform was applied .
the tumor over which piece of oiled
silk was placed, to prevent its loo rapid
evaporation, and few turns of roller
were made around the foot To retain tie
lint in contact with the skin. After
quarter of an hour had elapsed more chic
roform was added 10 the lint, but the
quantity used was rather less than two
teaspoonfulls, and in about half an hour
from its first application, it was found that
the skin, which would not before bear
the slightest touch without pain, might
now be compressed with impunity. The
operation was then proceeded with, the
patient betraying no sign of suffering.
either by the retraction of the foot, or by
the expression the countenance; and he
afterwards assured the gentlemen pres
ent, that the only part of the process at
which he felt any pain. was in the deep
est part of the ilIcision, but thatit was so
little as not TO be worth talking about
Every one is aware of the peculiar sensi-
tivencss Of the skin of the sole, and there
fore this case was selected as a fair test
of chloroform efficacy when applied en-
ternally. The result was highly satisfac
tory, and the poor man looked on with the
greatest composure, not moving limb
while the diseased part was being re-
moved, although he had been taught to
expect, before coming to the infrmary,
that the operation would occasion great
pain, and perhaps even lockedjaw.

DeaIh OF a IllcM OId UncIc.

FOR many years. an old man in the ar.
ro"d'sement of Yvetot France had lived
very miserable in a small house that be-
Ionged to him. He had nephe VS. and ME-
ces very well of. but his income beino
supposed the merest piitance they gave
themselves very little trouble about him.
-Four or FIVE months since, lie III; aud.
upon this event, bis Dephews and neices
received circular Of his dictation. in
which he advised them that, having al.
ways lived alone and having no relatives
but them, he wished before he died, ia
secure them against all dispute ofbis prop
elty by making his will formally in their
presence. He fixed the succeeding day
for their visit.
Impatient TO know what property he
had to leave, they came punctualy to the
Invitation. ts., .I.f., 3d..

thousand seven hundred francs, without
reckoning the interest ofthe present year.
AS t" the poor furniture which you see
around you wish it distributed to The
poor"
The four heirs agreed that this arrange.
ment Of the property in question was
very judicious. The old nan, upon this
consent. added lis signature to the pa.
per in his hand, sealed, and gave it to the
notary. .
From this day forward the old uncle
was treated with great attention. He
was suffered to want noIhug. and in con.
sideration of his well known repugnance
to spending money even for necessaries,
everything was supplied him with anti.
, ci patory watchfulness.
On Wednesday the well.tended inva.
lid died as quietly as possible, and on the
morning of his funeral. The nephews and
nieces made secret visit to the notary
and demanded the unsealing of the will.

ed TO 60 TO the Aims. house, and was de.
sirous ofdying in my own bed aud in

The four legatees furiously left the no.
tary and rushed to cnuntermand the first
class funeral arrangement they had or
dered-but twas ton late. The old man
went to his grave with all the honurs Of
hearse and sable plumes, and the neph-
ews and neices paid the bill of the under.
taker they had employed.

Mr.. Chase in CIIaraCtcr.

When Mr., L. C. Roll, Clerk of the
Court Of Common Pleas of Hamilton CO.,
called to his aid, according to law, Two
Justices, to ascertain who had been cleo
ted Representntives,& &c, question arose
among them which involved the inquiry
whether they were to act in conformity
with that provision of the Apportionment
act, which divides Hamilton county into
two Election Districls.-The two JUS
tees concludedto consult counsel. After
consulting gentlemen of the legal profess
sion, they decided that it was their duly
to count and declare the votes bv dis
tricts,as the aforesaid provision of The ap-
portionment act required. One of these
Justices consulted Mr.. Ball, the law part
ner of Mr.. Chase, by whose advice he
acted; and Mr.. Ball gave that advice, as
he states himself, after consultation and
agreement with Mr.. Chase. ...
So it seems, at that particular time. Mr..
Chase thought it right to observe the law. I.
He could not then have known precisely
the state of parties in the Legislature 1t
was afterwards, that he found ont what
might be made by playing his dicemen,
Townshend and Morse. in partnership
with the Locofocos, to trample down the
