In the meanwhile, Lieut.. Maxwell
had hurried to the assistance of his
unfortunate friend: but human aid
was in vain. He vas already dead.
In his death agony he had, however,
grasped miniatu that hung around
his neck, and which his second with
some difficulty extricated from his
hand. 1t vas. the miniature OF
Miss Of. Quebec, to whom he
was in a short time to have been
united: and this was the saddest part
of this sad business. The young
lady on being informed of the death
of her lover, dropped like blighted
flower, and in a few short months
died of a broken heart. Thus two
Young lives we're sacrificed, in effect,
to few words slightly and carelessly
spoken.
So soon as tie American S arm was
bound up, his countrymen after
thanking the. Major for his kindness
and magnanimity, accompanied him
from the ground: Of Lieut.. Maxwell,
we never learned.
The British officers, however much
chagrined they might have felt, were
too gentlemanly or too prudent to
show it, and offered no remarks on
the withdrawal of the Americans.
The papers of Toronto the next
morning. announced the accidental
death Of Lieut.. E. while hu nting with
Iother officers of the corps; and as
Ino one thought it his especial duty
ito investigate the matter, nothing
Twas ever done by the authorities IN
relation to it.

Policy Of the Wings.

The Louisville Democrat has COM
'pletely uumasked the designs Of the
whigs Of the South. Let them be
watched.
The Democrat says there! is one
feature of Wing policy in 1852 al
ready developed. They viii charge
the Democratic party of the South
with being Disunionists, but will
make no issue with any party at the
North upon the Slavery Question:
They will unite in the election of a
President, giving their friends in the
free States full liberty to agitate at
their discretion. Seward, Greely,
and Weed, Berrien, Mangum, and Bell,
each affecting to be Jealous for his
own sectio IN, and pretending to repu-
date the doctri mes of th 3 other, or
apolpgizing for them. For the one
great object-th he spoils- they will
unite. In the national convention
they will, as in 1|S4S, suppress all ex-
preston Of opinion, or resolve to sup
port the laws, the constitution, and
the comma ndme pts, and with shout
for Lundy's 5 Ian :, Cerro. Gordo, &C.,
strive again to Hlay the same game
of concealment and trio ckery which
was SO profitable in the last CANVASS.
Should they succeed, Congress viii
assemble again with nothing settled
by the voice of the country. Then
will come some more bargaining, and
chafiering, and compromising at tho
expense Of tho tranquility of the

Laws Of Health.

the left as well and as much as the
right.
Infants should be sponged with
cold water ev very day. Infants should
be carried into the air every day Of
the season. Infants should be nursed
lat regular intervals, once in about
three hours. From the time they
are weaned, until they have passed
the first dentition, children should be
fed ON bread and milk.
Coarse bread is better for children
than fine.
Children should sleep in separate
beds, and should not wear night caps
Children under seven years Of age
should not be confined over six OF
seven hours in the house-and that
time should be broken by frequent
recesses.
From the time of the first to. that
-of the second dentition, children
should be denied animal food.
Children and young people must
be made to hold their heads up and
shoulders back, while standing, sitting
or walking. The best beds for chill
dren are of hair, or in winter of haiI
land cotton.
At proper times and in proper
places, children should be indulged
In the free use of the limbs and lungs
A play room is useful appendage
to a house.
After the second dentition is pass
ed, young people may eat all kinds
of wholesome food. One pint Of Ii
quid to person a day is sufficient
for health; and that should neither be
hot nor very cold, and should be ta-
ken at some interval after eating.
From one to one pound and a hall
of solid food is sufficient for person
in the ordinary vocation of business
Persons in sedentary employmentS
should drop one-third Of their food
and they will escape dyspepsia.
Young persons shouldwalk al least
two hours a day in the open air
Young ladies should be prevented
from bandaging the chest. The au-
thor has known three cases of insan-
lity, terminating in death, which be-
gan in this practice.
Every person, great aud small,
should wash all over in cold water
every morning.
Reading aloud is conducive to
health.
The more clothing We wear, other
things being equal, the less food We
need.
Sleeping reoms should be furnish
ed with fire place, or some other
mode of ventilation beside the win
dows. -
The proper temperature of sleep.
ling rooms is from fifty-fiye to sixty
degrees Fahrenheit.
The temperature of room warmee
by an open fire place, is sufficiently
high for health and comfort at seven
ty degrees Of Fahrenheit, butin a room
warm ed by an air tight stove needs
to be at seventy-Gye degrees. All
tight stoves are not good for health
unless the room is pleDtifully sup
piled with cracks and crevices.
Young people and others cannot
read and study much by lamp lighI
with impunity.
The best remedy for eyes weakened
Eby night use is a fine stream Of colo
water frequently applied to them,
/ When eyes fail by age. the aid o
; ispectacles should be called in, instead
OF being deferred as long as possible

AGRICuLTURAL PAPERS.

Our readers will find in to-day's paper
the prospectus Of the "Ohio Cultivator,"
and of the "Western Agriculturist;" both
published at Columbus. We have not the
favor Of an exchange with either Of these
publications, and cannot, therefore, speak
Of the peculiar merits Of either; but we
hope this will not long be tho case. The
farmers Of this county are beginning to
awake to their interests, and have formed
County Agricultural Society under fiat
tering prospects. As Secretary Of thai
Society we have been asked to recommend
an Agricultural paper suited TO the wants
Of our farming community. This we
would not do, as we could not speak ad.
visedly. Will the "Cultivator" and the
"Agriculturist," favor US with an exchange?

ABOUT RIGHT.

The Youngstown Republican has the
following:
1--WE can see no valid reason why q
mans views upon the subject Of slavery,
even if his opinions do differ with those
held by portion Of the democratic party,
. should be made 'stest." II he answers
correctly to the main features of the dem.
ocratic faith, that should be sufficient un.
der the circumstances, no matter whether
he regarded them Of primary importance
or not"
This expresses our opinion most fully,
except that no democrat can, or should,
make the slavery question of more impor-
tance than the main features Of the dem
ocratic creed. We shall never attempt to
make our views upon that subject the test
for any other democrat, nor shall we suffer
any such test to be placed upon us.-Sen-
eca Advcrtiser.
These are our views, exactly. We can
see no good cause for democrats, who
wish to see the main features of the party
fully sustained, eternally seeking TO create
difficulties among those who. differ on the
question Of slavery. We are free to allow
all to believe and act as they may deem
proper. 1t is privilege we shall take,
regardless of the denunciations or threats
of some who have the unblushing ,mpu-
dence to set themselves up for leaders,
Guernsey Jefersonian.
Every democrat should be actuated by
the motive, that others may be as honest
and as sound upon debated and debata.
BILE questions as himself, and that he is as
liable to err as his neighbor. If this was
the governing sentiment and feeling, we
would seldom have to record any great
dissensions in the democratic family.
