ry.r STATE CONVENTION.

We hope the Reformers of Augusta will bear
in mind that they will be required to vote for
or against Convention on the 4th Thursday Ill
April, and that it isimportant every voter should
be at the polls. Defeat now, in our opinion, Is
a postponement of the question for twenty years;
and from the character of the opposition form
ing against the present Bill, such result would
not surprise u.s. We have thought, and still
think, that Western Virginia ought to rally to a
man in favor of the call. 1t is by no means Ger
tain that majority of II against the West will
be found in Overwhelmingly the signs are
favorable to the election of white basis delegates
from the Richmond, Loudoun and Franklin dis
aricts-if so, the West will have secured her
great demand-if otherwise, she still has it in
her power TO withdraw from the Convention
This course Western members ought to have
pursued in the last Convention.

A DARING FEAr-We learn from the Mar
,insburg Gazettee, that one of the conductors on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad enacted dar-
ing feat on the 10th ult Attached tothe train
he had in charge was an iron magazine car con-
tanning large quantity Of powder in kegs, and
some safety fuses.
When the train had gone a short distance
beyond Hedgesville, he discovered that the ioorr
of the cars was open, giving vent TO clouds OF
smoke. On examination he found that some
malicious person had bored several holes in the
top of the car; and lhata spark from the loco
motive had entered one of these s. ignited the iu
ses, and that it was probably the conclusion
which had forced the door open. Without a
moments hesitation he entered the car, and hap
PLY succeeded in throwing out the fuses and
saving his train.

A gentleman from the interior Of Louisiana
had recently the misfortune TO lose pocket
book containing upwards of $1,000 in the
street at New Orleans. The lost treasure was
picked up by small boy who, through the
hands of his employer, returned it to its rightful
owner almost before he was aware Of his loss
This individual was so overjoyed at the recoye-
ry of his money ard so deeply impressed with
the honesty Of the boy, that after he had turned
over the bills ndarranged them again, he put
the whole in his pocket and drew forth whole
dollar, which he bestowed on the astonished

Coop FOR PR1NrsRs-Mr. j. Fl. Tobitt, a
practical printer, has succeeded in introducing into
his establishment, No 8, Spruce ST., the use of
word types. That is he causes such words as the,
and, IN, it, to, and all the most common syables
to be cast on one body. By this method. the
printer instead of picking up three letters TO form
the word and, takes up but one. The idea is not
new, though Mr.. Tobit is the first who has
brought it to practical use in this city. He states
that very considerable saving of time and labor
is effected thereby.

CONNECTICUT ELECTIONS.
GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH
Both Houses Democratic Seymour safe THE
entire State triumphant!

Both Houses Democratic-Seymour safe THE
entire State triumphant
The returns from all parts of the State are most
cheering. They tell as surely as result can be
told in the absence of full returns, that Connecti-
cut is fully redeemed, and that the democratic
banner waves proudly over her. Seymours vote
has been increased in every direction. His ma
jority over Foster in Hartford county cannot be
short of 600.
In the Senate, the democrats will have at least
"A to wings.
In the House, the democratic majority is enough
for all practical pnrposes-we think il will be from
20 to 80. The nett gains are, of representatives,
certainly s of senators, g. This gives us ID gain
on joint ballot relative difference in favor OF
the democrats Of TWENTY EIGHT! This places The
,vhole Democratic State ticket BEYOND A DOUBT.
Last year we could have elected il entire, with
two more votes. This is glory enough for one
day.
The New Haven Register perpetrates the fol-
lowing April joke ON the two distinguished Wing

Wright,s Indian Vegetable Pills.

IyHIs medicine is compounded on general principles,

Although there are many medicines called by the same
name, every one is aware that there is q very great differ
ence among them. Those of them that are called ~"Indian,"
have stolen the name from us, who were the first to intro
dnce a prepared Indian medicine to the American public
Of course a similarity of name does not create a similarity
in the character of the medicine.

they do exactly what nature does, and nothing more. They

matte Complaints, Pain in the Bach, Scrofula, Cutansous
Eruptions. Pimples, Blotches, Freckies, E~rysipelas, &c.
The action Of the Pills on the kidneys is such as to make
them a valuable lithontripic. Dropsy, Gravel, and Female
Complaints, arising from distractions at certain periods, are
speedily removed by their use. A free Expeetoration from
the lungs is excited by the use Of Wrights Indian vegeta-

The fairest gems Of earth
Hove them, yes, | love them
For their own intrinsic worth;
The one when cares Cypress me,
And sadness fill my heart,
In meekness comes to bless me
With her soul endearing art.
Her songs, like distant vespers,
Inspire my heart with joy,
Where, like a guardian angel,
She soothcs our little boy
Until his evenings slumber
In music soft and deep,
And, as a spirit, watcheth
His calm and peaceful sleep.
The other-oh! what beauty
Dwells in her playful eyes,
More like the gems which sparkle
AT evening in the skies;
And then her artless nimicry
OF all our household ways
She sings whene'er her mother sings
And prays wnene'er she prays.
Such Jewels God hath given
To share my humble cot,
As messengers from heaven,
70 bless my weary lot;
And, when tie twilight fadeth
And darkness dims the west,
We ask our gracious Father
To guard us while we rest.
