Awkwardness.

"When an awkward fellow first comes into
room, he attempts to bow, and his sword, if
he wears one, gets between his legs, and nearly
throws him down. Confused and ashamed, he
stumbles to the upper end of the room, and
seats himself in the very place he should not

Homicide i'm Dracut.

On Tuesday, about noon, Michael O Brien
an Irishman, residing in Bevidere, deliber-
ately shot another Irishmon by the name Of
Michael Ryan, killing him instantly. The
circumstances the affair, as we learn them
from some Of the parties, are as follows: o.
BrIen, in company with four other Irishmen
went over into Dracut for the purpose Of
hunting. They passed down the rivers side
on to the land OF the Locks and Canal Co.,
occupied by Henry Plympton, who had pos.
ted up notices iorbidd.ng people to rrespass
OH the grounds. Without needing these no.
tees they passed on, when Ryan with two
other companions, also Irish, came down up
on them, with clubs, calling to them that
they must pay dollar to cross the premises.
O'BIien party ro!d them to keep away, and
O'Brien threatened to shoot them if they
advanced. They dlt! advance, and he level
led his gun and fired AT RYAN, who immedi-
aiey tell dead. The gun was loaded with
shot, aud they took effect in the side, near
the heart. The murderer Immediately fed.

arhe Effect of whis Rule. {"

As regularly as the revolution of the seasons
the people of Massachusetts, and their offspring
in Maine, are treated to grave dissertation on
the "effect Of whig rule"-sometimes emanat-
ing from the press, and sometimes from
Estate Committee One from the latter source
has recently appeared, and is going the rounds
of the whig press in our State-it having got
as far as Bath last week. The "sum and sub
stance" of the whole matter is, that Massachu-
sets is the greatest, most enterprising, best
governed, and smartest State in the Union, and
1t is all attributable to shi9 rule Now we
have no disposition to dlsparage Massachusetts,
but in our opinion there are some smart folks
without the border Of their precincts, and other
States where industry ard enterprise are as
well rewarded, intelligence as generally diffused
and the people as well governed as in old Mas
sachusetts, proverbial for her aristocracies. mo-
nopolies and chartered privileges. Besides,
there is some truth in the remark of Hon.
Franklin Dexter, uttered in the recent Wing
State Convention of Massachusetts. He is re-
ported to have said that-"Our prosperity de-
pended upon the success of a national govern
meni, and the national government must be
sustained by the State government" How
much of the prosperity of Massachusetts as a
State, is not attributable to our national pros
peritys and if the prosperity of Massachusetts,
is attributable to whig rule and government,
how much vaster the credit, upon the same
reasoning, is that justly due to democratic rule
If a states prosperity is to be purchased at
the price of aristocracies, monopolies, and mon
eyed aristocracies, then we will pause under
more wholesome influences. The prosperity
of Old England is no less dearly bought, and
yet who is prepared to forsake our own insti-
tutions and governmental privileges and be-
come subject of monarchy, because of thrift,
prosperity and power: Very few. we opine,
and Massachusetts, may yet be taught lessons
in political economy to her advantage.

Temperance r.svss.

The Temperance Levee, on Thursday eve
ming last, got up by the Daughters of Rechab,
was fine affair.", Thomas G. jackson, Esq.,,
was called to preside. which he did with bscom-l
ing dignity, and appropriate speeches were
made by Messrs. Brooks, Hayes, Harrington,
Parker, of this city, and Rev. Austin Wiley
of Portland, interspersed with the sweet and
sonl-stirring music of the Bath Brass Band.
The time was thus proftably occupied
until about nine O'Clock, when, the company
present was invited to partake of the
bountiful supply of good things which the
Daughters had 50 generously prepared and
tastefully arranged. The entire arrangement
showed most conclusively that the Daughters
are in the secret, not only as to the proper mode
of promoting the cause Of temperance, but Of
winning from the sterner sex just apprecia-
ton Of their proridentiat care and domestic quail
ifications. 1t was also proved most sa:isfacto-
rily on this occasion,-if we may Judge by the
bright and happy countenances every where
seen,-that
A feast Of reason and a flow Of soul,
Can be enjoyed without king alcohol.
AT half past ten, the company dispersed, ap-
parently highly pleased with the evenings en-
tertainment.

THE Monk KNIGHT OF ST. JoHN, romance
by Major Richardson, has been forwarded to
us by the publishers, DEWITT & Davenport, OF
New York, with request to notice; which we
shall do, deeming it duty we owe to the pub
he, rather than the publishers.
We do not, usually, devote much time to the
examination of such trashy publications, but
having seen some notices of the above, we were
led by curiosity, to read few pages. We
had not proceeded far, however, ere we were
convinced of its entire restitution of every good
sentiment but on the contrary, that its licen-
tious and demoralizing tendency should con-
denim it to oblivion, and its author and publish
ers to the scorn and reprobation of all honora-
bic and high-minded men. The whole aim of
the book is to create impnrity of thought des-
troy the nobler sensibilities of the soul, and
throw wide open the flood gates of passion
Every parent should be particularly cautions to
keep such vile publications from the eyes of his
children.
Since the receipt of the above work a note
has sent us by the publishers, stating that the
manuscript was put into the hands of the prin-
ter without their perusal, &C., and an apology
is offered at this late day, when probably the
periodical and book stores throughout the coun-
try are supplied with them, and when the
very statement of its immortality will insure a
rapid sale The publishers will confer a par
ticular favor by forwarding no more of their
abominable stuff to our address.

On his way home at the close of the late

ENTERPRISE. One of the greatest points of
attraction in the business department of our
city, just now, is CHINA HALL, S. w. Heath &
Co., proprietors. Their stock consists of al
most every conceivable variety of Crockery.
Glass and China Ware, in addition to which
they have lately imported direct from the man
ufacturers in England, a new article of Iron
Stone China Ware-supcrior to any thing of
the kind ever introduced into this city. They
also keep the kind of ware, celebrated for its
strength, stated by the papers to be sufficient
to ''drive ten-penny nails without breaking"
The Glass Preserve Bowl, weighing $50
pounds, is by no means the least attraction
which China Hall affords. The public will no
doubt be interested in visiting this establish
ment, being. as it probably is. the largest and
most extensive on the Kennebec.

EXPLOSION OF GUNPowDER. The store Of
Mr.. James Stephens, at Columbia, Missouri.
was suddenly reduced 10 ruins on the 5tb
instant by the accidental ignition of a guam
thy of gunpowder, aud Mess RS. Josiah Nj.
Short and Benz. I. White killed, and ten or
twelve other persons injured. The accrdeu,
is said TO have occurred in this way:
Mr.. Stephens was receiving a large stock
OF goods which were lying about the floor IN
boxes unopened. Two kegs Of powder com
posed a part OF the stock. These were re-
eeived the night previous, and were placed
in The lobby near the counter, and some tea
feet from the door. On the morning Of The
catastrophe one Of the kegs was discovered

from the sides or bottom on 10 the floor
The quantity was small but to prevent acct
dent, The sound keg was placed by one Of
the clerks on the top OF the unsound one,
The intention being very soon to remove both
to shed back OF the store where The pow.

came in the store smoking a cigar-ann WINE

ind 20 rely upon the good sense and sagaci.
" oil what is called The populace in Europe.
Not indeed because they could moi restrain
themselves from proceeding TOO far in dem

because they proved themselves true to their

is worth more TO humanity than any other.
The day too in which such harbarites as his

The world has become more sensitive upon

genuine republIcanism, and meet her antag-

Abolition of Flogging in the Navy.

One of the best acts in the late congress, was
that providing for the abolition of the cat and
the colt in the navy. No more will the backs
of American seamen be lacerated with these
devilish instrumentalities. A horrible relic of
barbarous custom has been buried, and we trust
so deep that it will never meet with a resur-
rection. The reform has long been demanded,
and its success must gladden. the hearts of the
humane throughout the world. The n York
Tribune, in allusion to the act of congress, paws
the following tribute to man whom we be-
lieve eminently deserves it,
"Thanks, thanks to all whose voices and
arms have been raised in behalf of this reform.
Thanks especially to Watson G. Haynes, who
for years has travelled and toiled, without fee
or reward, exposed to continual rebuffs and in
suits, devoting himself to the work of attract
ing attention TO the wrongs and woes of the
sailor in the navy. Though to-day without
five dollars in the world, he is more than any
commodore in the navy with his So 800 year
and nothing to do, who has lent his influence to
support the sinking cause of the LASH"
