ADropin the Eye.

Mrs. c. and Mrs ID. were once talking
together abont their mutual friend, Mrs. f.
of whom it was beginning to be whispered
about that she was falling into habits Of
intemperance, Mrs d. noticed that lit
tie child of Mrs. C,'s who was present,
was listening atteniively to theconversation,
and checked her as she was about speak
Ing Of Mrs. e. by the significant remark
"Take care, little pitchers have long ears"
Mrs. G. took the hint, and intending to be
very safe and prudent, she said. @Thcy
do say that Mrs. L. sometimes has drop
in her eye, and am afraid it isso." "Oh,
there is no doubt Of il" answered. Mrs. ID.
The child heard it all, and determined on
the very first opportunity to make her own
observation on the subject. SO the next
time Mrs. Il. called to sec her mother the
child stationed herself directly in front of
her and fixed her eyes steadily on her face,
from which she never once removed them,
ill at length the lady said, my dear, why
do you stare SO at mcl" Because" an
swered the child, "my mother and Mrs. ID.
said the other day, you sometimes have q
droP in your eye, and | want to see if it is
there now" Of course the lady rose in
high indignation, and all intercourse be-
tween the parties ce1sed.-BoSton Con-

A young man, james Henton, IS or 10
years of age, son of Mr. Evan Henton,
keeper Of the Poor-Housc Of Rockingham
county, was shot at the House ofMr. John
Clatterbuc.-s in the Chestnut Ridge, few
miles from this place, on Tuesday night,
or Wednesday morning last. We learn
that young Henton, in company with some
two or three other boys or young men, at
tempted to get into Clatterbuck's house,
for the purpose, it is said, oflynching Clat
terbuck, who does not sustain very good
reputation in his neighborhood. In their
efforts to get in, a gun was discharged by
some one within the house, which unfor-
tunately struck young Henton the greater
portion Of the charge, it is thought, enter
ing his body. He was seriously, but we
hope not MORALLY wounded. We regret
this unfortunate occurrence, as the father
young Henton is one of our best and
worthiest ctizens.-Rockingham Register.

Negro Fourricrifes.

The negroes Of New York have been
holding convention for some days past,
in which, among other things, it is propos-
ed, with great unanimity, that they shall
establish bank, clothing-store, wood
yard, grocery, &c, &c.-and perhaps a
groggery and oyster cellar-all of which
are to be sustained by common subscrip-
tons, and sell to the "colored brethren"
below cost, under the donation Of the
"highcr law" This must be perfect
hea7's-ease to Gseelcy. Mrs. Darlington
wonders if he will deal in the same dir
gingsl Who has better right! A bran

EVENING SESSION

The Speaker resumed the Chair at s
o'clock, but shortly afterwards vacated it
for the purpose of signing enrolled bills
about 300 of which were thus signed.
On resuming the Chair. the Speaker pre-
sented a communication from w. c. Scott,
Esq, the delegate from the county Of Pow
hatan, resigning lis seat, which was re-
ceived and laid upon the table, and the
Speaker authorised to issue writ Of cleo
ton 10 supply the vacancy in the case of an
extra scssion-said election to be held on
the 1st Wednesday IN May.
There being no other business before
the House, the Senate was informed of the
readiness Of the House to adjourn A mes
sage having been received from the Sen
ate announcing its readiness likewise to adj
journ, Mr.. Ferguson moved that the House
do now adjourn sine die.
Before propounding the question, the
Speaker delivered chaste and feeling val
edictory, and then the House adjourned,
sine die.

says
The die for the three cent piece, order
ed to be coincdb the last Congress, has
been finished. and the coinage would be
proceeded with at once at our mint, but for
a defect In thclaw, which makes no provis-
ION for procuring the silver and copper TO
commence with. In consequence the coin
age will be delayed until the proper steps
are taken by the authorities at Washington,
to remedy the deficiency. The new coin
is decidedly neat and tasty, and will be in
measure convenient substitute for cop
pcrs. 1t is one fourth copper and three
fourts silver, SO that the baser metals af-
fects the color but slightly. In size it is be-
tween the gold dollar and the FIVE cent piece,
but it is so much thinner thaneither, that a
blind man can easily distinguish them a
part by the touch. The face ofthe coin
has a capital c. with three in numerals, in
dicaiing the value Of the coin embraced
within it. Around the edge are the thir-
teen stars for the original States. On the
reverse is star having in its centre an A
merican shield, and around the edge "Uni-
ted States of America, 1851"

ORIGIN OF THE WopD "JorpNryu.N -

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "JoURNEYMAN."
There used TO be a very good law in Ger
many it may still be in force perhaps,
which required every mechanic, at the ex-
piration of his term of apprenticeship, to
travel about, from place to place for the next
succeeding threeyears Hewas notallow-
ed to remain overthree months none town,
but must keepmoving on, like the Wander
ing jew. In several of the large places
through which he passed, there were inns
where he might get supper, lodging,
breakfast, and a few groschens, to enable
him tocontinue hisjourney, all atthe States
expense. At the end of the allotted three
years, the wandercr was supposed to have
seensomething of"the world" and was then
permitted TO settle down where he liked
and work at his trade. Hence the origin
of the the word 'journeyman." ~ Y. ~

We learn from the National Lstelyigen
Ger that on Thursday last Professor Page
made preliminary trial on the railroad,
for the purpose Of testing the best mode Of
attaching the battery, which seems to be a
difficult point, owing to the jostling and
oscillations Of the locomotive. 1t was run
out over two miles, and the best speed on
a straight track was ten miles an hour
The locomotive weighs ten and half tons,
and has FIVE feet drivers, with two feet
stroke. The hteliigencer says itlooks ex-
actly like passenger car.
There is not more ardent votary of
science in the United States than Professor
Page, nor more successful one, so far as
discovery goes; and we trust that he may
yet live to reap pecunlary reward equal
TO the fame which he viii unquestionably
enjoy for his untiring perseverance in dis
covering and perfecting the application Of
the electromagnetic power to railroads and
steamers-RepuJiic.

Evelyn's Diary, referring to Richardson,
the famous juggler, who lived some 200
years ago, says;
Hedevoured birthstone on glowing Goals
before us, chewing and swallowing them;
he melted a becr-glass and ate it quite up,
then taking live coal on his tongue, he
put on 1t a raw oyster, the coal was blown
with the bellows till it famed and sparkled
in his mouth and so remained till the oys-
ter gaped and was quite boiled. Then he
melted pitch and wax with sulphur, which
he drank down as it famed; / saw it fam
ing in his mouth good while; he also took
up thick piece of iron, such as laundress-
es use to put in their smoothing boxes,
when it was fiery hot, held it between his
teeth, then in his hand, and threw it about
like stone; but this, observed, he cared
not TO hold very long; then he stood on a
small pot, and bending his body took a
glowing iron with his mouth from between
his feet, without touching the ground or
pot with his hands, with divers other pro-
digious fcats.

We trust that the people, even in Ohio,
are coming TO a sounder condition relative
to the slavery agitation. We learn that
even in Mr.. Giddings's district a better fee
ling begins to prevail. We have before
us a letter dated from resident of Ashta-
bula county, which says: "The skies are
bright and frightening, though we have
had no Union meetings as yet. Last sum-
mer, during the discussion Of the compro-
mise measures, Icould find but two or three
persons in the circle of my acquaintance
who Were in favor Of them: now there are
hundreds; and resistance to the fugitive law
i hardly mentioned. AT all events, the bo-
ballnks are quiet" - Wash. Union.

services rendered to the State Of Maryland,
by tins pioneer of agricultural improve

FLAvoEING Ice CREAM-In neiehbor


FLAvoEING Ice CREAM.-In neighbor-
lngtown, during "Court week." goodlv
company were assembled at public din
ner table, and among them a wag whom
wei may call DR.. Blank, and a country
gentleman OF the jury The Doctor
desPised ice cream, and the .juryman, not
knowing what it was, looked at the Doc
tor when the article came on, to see how
he would dispose of it. The latter, per-
celving that his neighbor was in doubtful
state of mind took some cream upon his
plate, smoothed off the top, covered it with
black pepper, and made hole in the centre
and poured In some vinegar. The stran-
ger reached overto the castor, and obtaining
the condiments, did likewise. He then
took spoonful of the prepared article into
his mouth, gave one look around the table
and "cut." The company, of course, could
all say with the victim: "icc creamed!'
A New INvENrroN.-Mr. Charles Ran
dali, of Lee county. Georgia, has invented
Tanning Machine, the object of which is
to keep people cool in summer, and assist
them in preserving their equanimity. 1t
IS thus described in a Washington letter:-
ANY body may set it at his elbow while
he Is reading his paper, or taking his siesta
Of an afternoon, and without his doing
thing to aid it, Randall's Fan will keep up
a general breeze about him, and drive the
fines and mosquitoes away. Or it may
be set beside a child's cradle or couch, or
the bed Of the sick, and contribute much
to sleep and rcpose. A machine for the
purpose was once patented by Commo-
dorc Barron. 1t was very ingenious, but
too expensive to come into use. MIR. Ran
dall's little matter is on different plan,
and can be afforded for about ten dollars"
