INFLUENCE OF Music ON THE MIND. Of
the solace of music, nay more, OF its influence
upon melancholy, need not look for evidence
in the universal testimony OF antiquity, nor re-
mind such an audience of its recorded effect up-
on the gloomy distemper of the perverse mind of
Saul. myself have witnessed its power to miti-
gate the sadness OF seclusion in case where nv
loyalty as good subject, and my best feelings as
man, were more than usually led IN the
restoration of my patient; and also remember its
salutary operation in the case of gentleman in
Yorkshire many years ago, who was first stupl-
ned, aud afterwards became insane upon the sud-
den loss OF all his property. This gentleman
could hardly be said to live-he merely vegeta-
ted, for-he was motionless until pushed, and did
not speak to, nor notice anybody in the house tor
nearly four months. The first indication OF a
return OF any sense appeared in his attention to
music played in the street. This was observed,
the second time he heard it, to have more de.
cided force in arousing him from his lethargy;
and induced by this good omen, the sagacious
humanity OF his superintendent offered him vo-
lin. He seized it eagerly, and amused himself
with it constantly. After six weeks, hearing
the patients of the house pass by his door to their
common room, he accosted them, ssGood morning
to you all, gentlemen, l. am quite well, md de-
sire | may accompany you" In two months
more he was dismissed cur ed.

The County Convention.

1t will be seen by the call in an
other column that convention Of
the democratic party of this county
vii! be held at this place on the 2oth
inst. We sincerely hope that this
convention will receive that atten-
tion which its importance deserves.
II is needless to say that our party
is at presentin most critical posi-
ton, and that it requires all the wis
dom in it to manage the helm Alright.
Far better, in our judgment, were
it to hold no convention at all, than
to hold onc that is but half attend
ed TO.
We want TO see no more county
tickets nominated to be defeated.
We prefer infinitely TO see demo
Gratis defeated on their own hook
than when the party pretends 10
back them. Such defeats are in
calculably disastrous, as they weak
en- the cause we have at heart with
out the cause being at fault.
We hope the convention will be
guided by spirit of moderation and
concession disposed to overlook
minor differences for the sake oil
the great issues which a change Of
administration has forced upon the
country. We must learn TO lay aside
personal chickering's and animosities
Ito sacrifice private feelings and
prejudices for the good of the cause.
or there can be no cordially, uni
on, and harmony. If we must again
be defeated, for mercy's sake let il
not be done fighting with each other
Let us rather do our cause the us.
