ORIeiNAL LETTER OF Dr.. FRANKLIN
The Boston Post is publishing some origin
al letters Of DR.. Franklin. The following
is advice to a young lady, with whom very
chatty correspondence appears 10 have been
undergone:
PHILADELPHIA, October Is, 1855.
DEAR KATY: Your favor of the 2Sth June
came to hand on the 23J September-just
three months after it was written. / had
two weeks before written you long chat,
and sent it to the care of your brother Ward.
! hear yeu are now in Boston, gay and love-
iy as usual. Let me give you some father
ly advice: Kill no more pigeons than you
can eat. Be good girl, and don't forget
your catechize; go constantly to meeting,
or church, till you get good husband then
stay at home and nurse the children and
live like Christian. Spend your spare
hours in sober whist, prayers, or learning
to cipher. You must practice addition TO
your husbands estate by industry aud fru-
gality; subtraction of all unne cessary ex-
penses; multiplication, he will soon make
you mistress Ct it. As to division, say,
with brother Paul, "let there be no division
amehg ye;' but as your good sister Hub.
bard (my love to her) is well acquainted
with the rule ef t,co, hope you will become
80 expert in the rule Of three, that when
have again the pleasure of seeing you may
find you, like my grapevine, surrounded
with clusters, plump, juicy, bluslling, pret-
ty little rogues, just like their mamma
Adieu; the bell rings, and must 60 among
the grave ones, and talk politics.

FEkRxAcaoss THE Nea4R PLAT1E.-Who 2
can fix bounds to American enterprise z A
company has been organized IN this county,
under the name and style of D. H. HEX
man & Co., who purpose the establishment
Of ferry at the crossing Of the North Pistte,
for the accommodation of California emi-
grants. The company is composed Of men
Of capital, WHO will stop at nothing short Of
the most complete arrangements. They
are now engaged in preparing the nscsssa-
ry outfit, Of workmen, wagons, teams, &C.,
to leave the State several weeks IN advance
ofthe earliest emigrants,in order that svery-
thing may be in readiness by the time The
emigr alton reach the river. Several boats
will be made of snGcisnt size to cross the
largest wagon aud team at one load-thus,
in great measure, securing the trains g.
gainst detention, trouble, and danger.
This enterprise is in the right hands.--
With the gentlemen concerned, there is no
such word as fsil.-[Mo. Statesman.

erroneous in more than half dozen places,
for the words italicised, verbs and pronouns,
both singular and plural, refer to the words
"a single whig."
Example the 3d.-"By giving uncondi-
!ional pledges, often encourage men to suf-
fer their names to be used, for the purpose
of disorganizing party, and revenging on
q few men against whom they have real or
imaginary cause Of complaint"
This 10 error sublimated- confusion beau
FF..iiffally. confounded;-the eillisst piece Of
twaddle that I have met with in print, for
10, this many day. Parse it if you dare.
Example the 4M.-"The people appear
to be animated ,D,th zeal, and the lethargy
into which they had apparently fallen, has
been shaken off, and already given it a new
character, and may now be justly consider
ed highly enterPrising and fourishing
town."
To say nothing of other minor errors in
this sentence, just look at the figure the
word "lethargy"i is made to cut. tits made
the nominative to the verbs, has been shak-
en- of, given and may be considered. Then
If you construe the sentence according to
the plain meaning of the words, as their
placed, it means this:-"The letbargy into
which they (the people had apparently fall
en-, has been shaken off, and (it lethargy
has) already given it (the town) new
character, and (it lethargy) may now be
Justly considered highly enterprising and
Aourisl,ing town."
I have only.given few samples, but by
these you may judge all the editorials Of the
paper, for there is wonderful similarity Of
style running through them all, from begin
ming to end. In my samples I have given
,chole sentences, that yon might clearly see
the beauties of all their parts.

, A FAcT-cAMPHoRA REMEDY FOR INsANI-
TY.--Raspail, the French socialist, has
pointed out { the Medical Journal says one
of the powers Of camphor, which, in a
psychological point Of view, is most impor-
tant-that of putting stop to that fearful
restlessness which accompanies the first de-
velopment of insanity. When opium, hyso.
cyamus. conium, stramonium, and "all the
drowsy sirups Of the East" fail to produce
any effect, grain Of camphor formed into
pill, and followed BY q draug ht Of an ounce
and half Of the infusion Of hops, mixed
with FIVE drops Of sulphuric ether, is his
usual remedy for procuring sleep.

Every family however poor, if they wish to

ines should take at least one newspaper.
And the man, who possesses sufficient pro-
perty to make himself easy in life, surround
ed by children eager for knowledge, is in

Butter MAxING.--Those who only make
a small quantity Of butter, and Of course
do not churn every day, will find the fol-
lowing very important: When the cream
of each day is put into .hs jar or pot in
which il is kept, let the whole be stirred
together thoroughly. If this is not done,
the cream Of each day will remain in layers
as it is put 10, and the lower strata will be-
come sour and bitter, and when the churn-
ing is done, will taint the whole.

ALLIGAToR's NEsr.-They resemble, says
LyelI, in his second visit to America, hay.
cocks about four feet high, and FIVE in diam
.eter at their bases, being constructed with
grass and herbage. First they deposit one
layer Of eggs on floor of mortar, and hav.
ing covered this with a second stratum Of
mud and herbage, eight inches thick, lay
another set Of eggs upon that, and so on TO
the top; there being commonly from 100 10
200 eggs in nest. With their tails they
then beat down round the nest the dense
grass and reeds FIVE feet high, to prevent the
approach of unseen enemies. The female
watches her eggs until they are ell hatched
by the heat of the sun, and then takes her
brood under her care, defending them and
providing for their subsistence. DR.. Luzen-
berger, Of New Orleans, told me that he once
packed up one of these nests. with the eggs,
in box, for the museum of st. PetersbuIgh
but was recommended before he closed it, to
see that there was no danger Of any of the
eggs being hstched on the voyage. On
opening one young alligator wslked out,
and was soon followed by the rest, about q
hundred, which he fed in his house, when
they went up and down the stairs whining
and barking like young puppies. They ate
voraciously, yet their growth was so slow
as to confirm him in the opinion, that alliga.
tors which have attained the largest size
are Of very great age; though whether they
live for three centuries, as some pretend,
must be decided by future observation.

We give below an extract from the Chi
cago Advertiser, to show the way the Free
Soilers Of Illinois are disposed to act
Give to such men the power, and every
county, town and hamlet of the South
would be visited by incendiary emissaries.
These men really appear 10 be fred with
the ambition of Fr0stratus, who set fire to
the Ephesian temple, that his name might
have an immortality Of infamy. They, with
the same ambition would fire the temple Of
our liberties, to crafty their personal and
selfish views. The Advertiser says:
"The Supreme Court of this State has
decided, we understand, that no person but
the owner, or agent of the owner, has a
right to arrest absconding slaves in this
State"
There must surely be some mistake about
this! adds the Intelligencer.) lfthis be tho
law in Illinois, as expounded by their Su,
preme Court, the insecurity of slave pro-
pertyin Missouri will be greatly increased.
Indeed, it will be entirely useless to at
tempt to recapture fugitive slave, If it can
be done only by the owner or some special
agent duly authorized by letter Of attorney.
