fSNHESE Springs situated in Madison county,
4 - miles North east of Canton, will be
open for the reception of visitors on the 18th
May next Gen. I. G. McMackin, well known
to the travelling and reading public as the best
landlord OF the South, will have the supernten-
dance and management under his entire control.
This is sufficient guarantee for the comfort of
visitors We have erected and in the course of
erection buildings sufficiently spacious 10 accom-
modate 500 persons in all comfort, and also
number of double cottages which will be rented
10 families BIZ the month or season. There will
also be large Ball Room and Band Of music,
Tenpn Alley and Billiard Tables, for amuse-
ment and exercise, and Bar room well furnish
ed with the choicest creature comforts"
We have made arrangements with MIR. Led
better, the enterprsing contractor of the Yazoo
City, Lexington and Benton Stage line. who will
promptly convey all passengers from those points
10 the springs:
Passengers by way Of Canton, will be imme.
datey conveyed to the Springs by Mr.. Jesse P.
Brown, in Coach and Hack, with speed and per-
feet safety.
These Springs are situated on the ridge which
les between Big Bleack and Pearl, in high
rolling country, and on the immediate borders Of
the pine region, and the propretors feel fully
justified from their own observation, from the
estimation of that portion of the public TO whom
the beneficial effects OF their waters are known,
and from the concurrenttestimony of many intel
ligent gentlemen of the medical profession under
whose recommendation and observation they
have been used, in recommending them, in all
cases in which tonics are indicated, but especial
ly in all cases connected with debilitated con-
dlion Of the digestive organs, in diseases Of the
mucus tissues, embracing Dysentary, Diarrh9a
and especially summer diseases, of children; IN
chronic inflammation of the bladder, in most dis
eases Of the kidneys, especially those attended
with alkaline deposits, in torpor Of the liver; as
local application in chronic inflammation Of the
eyes. in diseases of the skin, both as local and
Internal remedy; in diseases OF the scalp and ul-
GERS generally, and all diseases of females, con-
nected with debility.
1t is expected that Madame Arraine Brooks,
the celebrated danseuse from New Orleans, will
spend the summer at the Springs, and will teach
all the modern and fancy dances. where all the
lovers Of the "poetry ol motion" will have an op-
portunity ofearning to tread the light fantastic
Toe" after the latest aud most approved style.

fwas made that~he should sit upon fire

took peep at the elephant. He accor-

PrOgreas of tha Free soIlere.

At a late Wing State Convention in
New York the following resolutions were
adopted by very large majority:
Resolved that our thanks are especially
due to the Hon. VIM. Il. Seward, for the
signal ability and fidelity with which he
has sustained in the United States Senate,
those beloved principles of public policy so
long cherished by tho wings Of the empire
state, as expressed in state and county con.
ventions, as well as in the votes and ms
tructions of our state legislature. Those
principles are eminenGly national aud re.
publican, because they are just and equgt.
able,
Resolved, That the admission Of Cali
fornia into the Union as State with free
constitution, meets with our hearty appro-
baton; and as territorial government is
established for New Mexico and Utah
without any prohhitory clase, OH the as.
SUMPTION that slavery is excluded by other
causes, it is the solemn duty Of Congress
to extend the Jeferronian ordinance over
those territories on the first indication that
slavery or involuntary servitude is likely to
be introduced into them.
Il ow coEsoIing this must be to those
Southerners (mosiIy whigs,) who are so
wei. satisfied with the "peace measures. :"
who will have it thai every thin. is settled
aud that we SOutherners who are for resist

| The Mobile Tribune, in noticing these pro-
ceedings, remarks that a resolution passing
a general eulogy and approval Of the whole
If n dol IN
New York, was not sufficient. That did
not suit Mr.. Stewards friends, and they
forced the convention to indiV!dualize him

EARTHQUAKES AT CLEAvELANp, OHIO
We learn from the Cleaveland Herald, that
a very sensible shock of an earthquake was
felt at that, place, about rs minutes past
5o'clock on the morning of the 6rst of De-
tobe:. The Herald says:
The morning was very clear, with the
exception OF few distant clouds resting
upon the horizon in the North and North
west. The night had also been quite clear
with beautiful display Of Aurora Boreal.
is. which was most brilliant about 3
o'clock.
The first indication of the phenomena
was low rumbIing sound somewhat like
distant thunder, apparently in North
westerly direction. The sound increased
in intensity tor two or three seconds. the
deepest intonations being like very heavy
distant thunder; the earth at the same in-
slant exhibited trembling motion which
tasted nearly two seconds, when it gradu.
ally died away with the sound in an east.
erlv or southeast direction. The concuss.
ion was so violent thatit produced Jar
ing and rafting Of the windows, furniture
anu crockery, and a very sensible trembling
could be felt by one who stO,d upon the
ground.
In Euclid, about eight miles east of this
city, the shock was sufficiently violent to
throw crockery from the shelf We also
learn by gentleman from Berea (abour
IL miles S. W. that the conclusions were
sufficient to awaken persons from sound
sleep. Most of those with whom we hs :
conversed, who observed the phenow ..nor
give near the same description Of the in,
pressions and sensations PROD aced as ar
lstated above.

are ch 'erful and happy; have pleasant

But there are other hoys who are dull
aud lazy. At sixteen years Of age you will
fiad them hanging about the corners, or
wasting their time in idle society. They
will not work to support themselves and are
obliged TO call o their parents for their clo-
