WHIPPING THE DEVIL ROUND THE
SrUMp.-The New Orleans Picayune speaks
thus OF one Of the newly invented comforts
Of the Crescent City:
Many of our readers have doubtlessly
heard of the gentleman who paid our city a
visit not many months since, and who,
being present at large dinner, positively
refused to take any liquid reireshmenI
stronger than cold water. He was ter.,-
pcrance man. but was willing to eat his
liquor in the shape of a rum omelelte.-
The idea was good one; and i, has been
carried into practice by some of our cake
makers. who daily send round their emf
saries and produce seller TO various ofli'
ces and lovers of lunch and other refresh
ments. These darkies-;he refreshmenl
sellers, we mean-are famous Tor their
brandy cakes, a sort Of confederation oil
Alcohol, which the temperance men may
cultivate without any remorse OF con-
science.

DR. YUYsorr's Improved Extract Of Yellow
DICK and Sarsaparilla is SURE remedy for
hsrediiary tGint.
Thousands Of individuals are cursed with
grievious complaints. which they inherit from
their parents. The use of the Yellow Dock
aad Sursnparilla will prevent all this, and save
vast amount of misery, and many valuable
lives, for it thoroughly expels from the system
the latent taint, which i the seed Of disease,
and so takes off the curse by which the sins or
misfortunes Of the parents are so often visited
upon the innocent offspring.
Parents owe it 10 their children to guard
them agaInst the effects Of maladies that may
be communicated by descent, and children Of
parents that have at any time been affected
with Consumption, Scrofula or Syphilis, owe it
to themselves to take precautiOn against the
disease being revived in them. Guysott's Ex-
tract Of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is a
sure sntidote in such cases.

61rWe ask the attention of Wings to thC
call Of the Wing State Central Committee
which we publish this week. Should the new
Constitution be adopted, such convention
will be necessary to put in nomination the
long list of officers to be elected by the State al
large. The Sd of July is not too early; the
fate Of the Constitution will be known before
that time, and the earlier the candidates are
before the people the better. We trust the
Wing counties in this section of the State
will be fully represented; not only with our
one in FIVE hundred, but by delegation thai
shall faithfully represent the conservative
Whig opinions of the district. Think Of it,
and arrange to 90, We who can.

II is announced that the work oI
the enlargement Of the Capitol is to
be commenced on the first OF June.
l learn that the details Of the plan to
be adopted are about 10 be settled.
There is TO be wing extension; that
is one feature agreed upon. The
halls Of legislation are TO be Of rec
tilinear, instead Of curvilinear form;
that is another point settled.
The date of enlargement Of the
Capitol corresponds in time and in
principle with the date of the new
Constitution-the Compromise oi
1850. If the Compromise had not
succeeded, the Capitol, enlarged,
would never have been dreamed o.;
but the Capitol, deserted, might soon
er have been opened to our view.
Should the work commence in
June, presume that the corner stone
oil the grand additional edi6ce-the
offspring of The second great Com
promise,--as the Constitution was of
the frst,-will be laid on the 4th of
July.
There are those here who remem-
Der when General Washington laid
the corner stone of the present Cap
itol, at time when the government
was new, and its success problemat-
ical. The same men may live to wit
ness the laying OF the corner stone
OF the new edifice, which is the conse.
quence Of the complete and glorious
success OF our system of govern
ment; and which is 10 be dedicated

who are to perpetuate, as well as en-
JOY, the enlightened and free institu.

The Maryland Massacre.

The revolving particulars of the
murder Of the Cosden family in Ken
county, Md, have not been forgotten
by our readers. At last the bloody
fiends have been discovered. Seven
or eight persons were imprisoned on
suspicion, some OF whom proved
dtibis, and against others there was
but shade Of guilt. A letter to
the Baltimore Sun, says two or three
now in prison have made full and
authentic confession and that five or
six of the party implicated cannot
escape the extreme penalty Of the
law. They state that the plan OF
their operations was to murder Cos
den and his family, who, they under
stood, had just come in possession of
81 ZOO; to burn his house, and when
the neighbors were attracted to the
spot, TO take advantage OF their ab-
sence, murder each family, and plum
der every house in the vicinity.

Marshall SaIdana entered Oporto
on the 7th ult., and was greeted with
the most enthusiastic reception by

New York they were received by large
numbers of their fellow Citizens
President Fillmore, Mr.. Webster, Mr..

short speeches at different points. At
all the stopping places along the line of
the Erie Railroad the people turned out
and were addressed by the President or
some member of the cabinet.
OF the celebration at Dunkirk we
have only seen the following:
DUNKIRK, May Is.
The grand pageant is over; fifteen
thousand people have participated in it.
The "noise and confusion" has been
equal to the great event. The Ocean

occasion by their presence and speeches.
The speeches were all well-timed,
patriotic and enthusiastically applauded.
While Crittenden was electrifying the
multitude inside of the immense Loder
House, Webster was talking to shouting
thousands outside. Speaker followed
speaker in this way for hours, while the
booming cannon re-echoed the thunders |

LIcENsEs.-Some doubt has arisen
whether licenses issued before the
first OF May, would run for year,
or whether the law Of last winter de-
prived them of this right. This point
has just been submitted and decided
in ChiIlicothe, and the decision made
that old licenses do not reach beyond
the lst of May. The Gazette says:
The Court held that the licensing
system was police regulation. which
the Legislature could establish or
abolish at will;-and that the liquor
license right did not amount to the
digaity Of franchise. The defen-
dant was fined the minimum sum fix
ed by the act OF the late Legislature.

The Virginia Convention being una
Bile to agree upon either basis of repre-.

resolution to appoint committee oi
eight TO recommend some grounds Of
compromise. The committee consists
of Messrs. Summers, Lucas, Letcher
and Caperton, from the West, and
Chiffon, Martin, Winfield and Finney,
from the East. Some of the Western
papers think, from the character of the
men composing the committee, they
will agree upon some plan which will
command the support of a majority of
the Convention and be acceptable to the
West.

agents for the sale Of your Petroleum, and
fearing it might not sell rapidly, in as much
as so much worthless trash is sold by travelling
agents; we only took two boxes from him,
which has all been sold. Finding 1t to sell
quite readily, and actually to answer the w
rious purposes for which it hax ,bse..
mended, we thought we would order " -
about four boxes more, as there is still great
demand for it. In regard to the ef-
fcaey Of your Petroleum. we might add. that
in every instance without exception, where it
has been tried, it was found to give immediate
relief, particularly for pains in the limbs, back,
&c, resulting from Bilious Intermitting Fe-
yer, which prevailed in this section 10 a very
great extent; and invariably was followed BY
pains and swelling in the limbs. Your Petro-
leum in these cases, (without exeeption,) was
found 10 give immediate relief.

FRUIT PEosPEcTs.-The editor oI
the Ohio Cultivator, on his way to
the worlds fair, writes thus about the
fruit prospects on the lake shore:
In our trip 10 Cleveland by rail-
road, we had no opportunity to ex-
anime fruit buds until we reached
Wellington, about 80 miles south OF
the lake shore; here we found peach.
es but little injured, and apples none
at all. The same is true at Oberlin,
and we presume throughout Lorain
county.
Around Cleveland we made ex-
tensive examinations, and found no
material injury done, as yet, 10 any
kind of fruit. The blossoms are
some two weeks later than at Colum-
bus, and owing 10 the influence OF
the lake, and a more cloudy state OF
the atmosphere, the frosts have been
but slight. There is reason, there
fore, to hope that the fruit crop in
this portion OF the Stale will be SUI
fcient to furnish a supply to the des-
titute regions. II so, it will prove
welcome harvest to the fruit grow
ers o. the lake shore.
@We understand that a portion of
the peach orchard of Mr.. Preston in the
vicinity of Gallipolis escaped the killing
frost. Mr.. P. has about two acres COW
cred with peach trees which promise
arge yield of fine fruit.
