SALARrEs The Duty efMe IYh'gs.-
A writerin the Stafesmaa is dissatisfied
with some ofthe salaries which have been
fixed in the Senate bill. He complains
that Senators are allowed four dullurs
per dey. while Assistant Clerks and
DooIkeePers are. allowed but three. He
also complains that the Supreme Judges
are allowed $4,000 per year, but consoles
himself with The reflection that mainri
ty of the Democrats voted against the al.
lowance.
This bill hasnot yet passed the House
and this indication of future action should
induce the Wings of that body to acl
wisely. The Democracy have the pow
er in both branches, the new Constitu.
tion is in the hands of it's friends, they
have promised to put itinto operation
aud the Wings should let Ibem do it. BY
all means the Wings of the Legislature
should not, in a case Of this kind. place
their party in position where this States
man correspondent and others like him
viii hereafter attempt To dslodge them
especially when the Democracy have
things in their own hands. and should be
held responsible for what is done. We
BAY with the Journal, beware oflhis game
ofduplicity! 1t will certainly be played
if the Wings Ilo not act wisely, as it Is
their duty to do. Nothing should be
done to shoulder the responsibility which
the Democracy sought fur. They de
sired anxiously, they pleaded for it. thai
the new Constitution be put into lhei
care and keeping, and now We desire t,

With them rests the responsibility and 81
the people will say. Let them not creel

PRESERVATION OF SHADE TREEs.-
The entire efficacy ofa decoc,ion of to-
baccn in preserving elm. linden and 9th
er shade trees from the raveges of the
worm, has now been satisfactorily estab.
Gshed by repeated experiments. This
specific, we learn, hiss been tried in
Washington by the Commissioner Of the
Public Buildings on the elms in front of
the Capital steps. and by the keeper of
The grounds at the War and Navy De.
par,menls on both elm and linden trees,
aud in each case was attended with most
perfect success. The decoclon is To-.
-struclive both to the bug which feeds on
these trees and 10 the egg which it de.
rosltes on the under side of the Leaf
The proper time for the application is as
soon as the leaves are we'll developed, at
which time the presence of the bug may
easily be perceived. The cost of the de-.
cuclion is incnnsderable.

RAILROAD NEws.-The Commission.
ers Of Belmont county have subscribed
the 500, 900, voted by the people last
fall, to the capital stock Of the Central
Ohiu Railroad. We also understand that
it is the intention Of the Directors To put
The remaining portion of the road, lying
between Zauesvile and Wheeling, under
contract in April next. This will be
cheering news To the friends of the c.. w.
w. Railroad, and should urge on our
friends in Perry to procure favorable
vote IN order that the portion of this
road, lying east Of this city. may be put
under contract at the same time. Upon
the located portion the contractors are
pushing the wolk ahead with commend
able zeal.
A special session Of tho Supreme
Court of this State, was authorized by
the Legislature. aud commenced on yes
terday. AT this term, we suppose, the
question of the constilutionaliiy OF
county subscriptions will be settled
aifirmatively, when the different rail
road companies of Ohio cun dispose
of county bonds at fair and reasonable
rates. Wa understand that the matter
will be brought before Them in such q
way as to obtain something else than
what one of our contemporaries calls an
"obituary dictum," and we have no doubt
whatever of favorable decision. We
do not well see how it can be other

NIAGARA Falls CRuMBLING. -. En-.
pires are saidto crumbls away. They
are won by lOaves; they are lost by
crumbs. A little more than year since.
that portion Of her Majesly's dominiuns
represented by Table Rock gave US an
extensive specimen of this process oi
crumbling; aud last week Brother JOna.
Than who never permits himself 10 be
beaten, gave ns all exhibition of the same
kind With an improvement. On Satur
day afternoon portion of the precipice
near the Tower, on the south side of Goat
Island. fell with mighty crash. This
portion extended from the edge of the
Island toward the lower. being about 1875
feet long, and about GO feet wide. of a
some what elip,ical shape. aud reaching
from the top 10 the boltom Of the fall.
The next day another piece, iriangu.
lar. with base Of al out forty feet, brake
of just below the tower. But'rhe next
great perGnmance was the most remark,
atle. Between the two portions that
had previously fallen stood d ectangular
projection, about thirty feet long aud ff.
teen feel wide. extending from top 10 bot.
tom of the precipice, This immense
mass became loosened from the main
body of the rock, and settled perpendic-
ularly about eight feet. where ituow
stands an enormous column two hundred
feet high, by the dimensions named a
bove.
If it stood upon an open plain. as did
Cleopalra's Needle when first reared
how insignificant the latter would appear,
and what realizing sense might we
have on summers day, Of the shadow
ofa great rock in a weary land! II is most
probable that this column will also fall
when the weather becomes warmer. The
severity Of the winter, and the long con,
tinuance of the intense cold, have pro.
duced these results. They are splendid
exhibitions Of the slow, perseveriug, re-
sistless power Of the venerable white
whiSkered Mr.. John Frost. BY this
freezing process he dsengagel these
great masses of rock from the kindred
stratum, then held them in his cold hand
untilthe genial south wind made him re.
lax his hold, and they were piecipitaIed
