The prescriptions Of physicians should be
written in the vernacular of every country. On
Tuesday, We learn, Godfrey Habberling, drug
gist, of Williamsburg N. Y, was taken before
the court of sessions, Judge Johnson presiding
on an indictment charging him with man
slaughter, in carelessly and negligently admin
istering to Fanny schuchter some strychnine,
in lieu Of santonine, in the preparation Of a
prescription, and from the effects Of which she
died. The apothecary may be ignorant or neg
ligent, but the use of English or German would
have narrowed the chances Of blunder.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 20.

HOME should be made attractive. Parents
have no right to complain of the desires of
their children to wander abroad when they fail
to think of this duty deyolving upon themselves.
browning fathers and mothers, who despise the
qualification of the tastes of their children, and
refuse to render their home cheerful and plea
SAINT by every thing that is proper and within
their means, fail to fulfil their duty, and take
upon themselves the responsibility Of the way
wardness that may be developed in their off
spring.
Many youths, of both sexes, dress in most
exquisite taste abroad, whose homes possess no
attractions, and are not even comfortable, nor
fit to receive the friends they acquire in their
intercourse with the world What is the con-
sequence? Obviously that the affections, at
least of the young and the thoughtless, are
withdrawn from home, and that its dreariness
is magnifed by the absence of those whose
gladness should be its choicest light.
Ivy upon the outer walls; carefully cherished
exotic plants at its doors and windows; a musi-
cal instrument in the little parlor; books, mag
azines, and newspapers in Convenient places /;
arm-chairs for the aged, and the tobacco pipe,
too, if desired-these, with as good furniture as
can be procured, and all neatly and tastefully
arranged, will, with kind words and sympathy
from parents, render the humblest cottage
more attractive to their children than are all
the glitter and display of fashion and dissipa-
ton that can be presented to them.
We never hear parent complain of the in
difference of son or daughter, without pom
dering as to whether these things have been
thought of as pleasure and duty, or Stunned
as troubles to be avoided; and the latter course
has very generally been apparent.
To have the associates of ones children
around the door and within the house may
often, no doubt, prove an inconvenience; but
what is it to the reflection in such a city as
this, that your children are abroad in the way
to be tempted by the thousands of snares that
are ever in their path? Were we to go forth upon
mission of love, we think it would be to urge
the securing to each family an humble home
stead and the adornment Of that homestead by
every means that can render it indeed a g sweet,
sweet home" and the chosen refuge of families
who, in their security, would not despise it for
its plainness and simplicity, but together cult
vate the virtues of economy, industry, affection,
and contentment that should adorn it.

THE RIOT AT HoBoKEN.-The facts as far as
our reporters have been able to ascertain them,
are, that the riot was provoked, in the first in
stance, by gang of DULLES who, under various
epithets, have for some time past infested this
community, and whose members cultivate bru-
tally and pursue outrage as profession and
amusement. On Monday these persons beset
the Germans peaceably assembled at Hoboken
with their wives and children, to celebrate their
national festival of Pentecost, as they have done
for several years past. The intruders had re-
freshments for which they refused to pay; and,
when the demand was insisted on, responded
by breaking up the booths at which they had
been entertained. Thus assailed and provoked
to hght the Germans naturally took the matter
into their own hands, and dreadful riot en-
sued, in which both parties seem to have fought
with equal ferocity. Neither police nor mill
tary force were at hand to stop it, and the one
or two magistrates who sought to intervene
were knocked down and injured by the combat
ants, and for some hours the battle ragged with
fury, the Germans finally proving victorious,
and bringing off their women and children to
this side of the river. Life was lost, severe
wounds received, and property destroyed.
These we take to be the facts although diff
ferent story is put forth in behalf of the Short
Boys, as the more prominent antagonists of the
Germans designate themselves. Whether our
judgment is correct or not, will, we trust soon
be decided by thorough judicial inquiry; and
meantime there is no injustice in saying that
the probabilities are altogether against the
party whom we have designated as the aggres.
sors. They are notorious DULLES, vagabonds
and rampant disturbers of the peace while
the Germans, in general, bear the character Of
orderly, industrious, and useful citizens. This
is the fifth year that we have known of their
Ndyest at Hoboken, and never before has il
been attended by any disturbance. The infer
ence from all the facts about them is, that II
they had not been assailed it would now have
passed off with the usual gaiety and good feel
ing which form prominent elements of their
national character.--N H. Tribune.
