on their recommendation, it requires constant at
tention to keep the nuisance under check. We
learn, from the March number of the New Y ork
Journal of Pharmacy, that the importation, man.

thatthey will be gradually much reduced and more

frequently associated with dealers in drugs, sus-

to be quite worthless, and was not admitted as it
would have been in former years.

FATAL AFFRAY.-We learn from the Pointe
Coupee (La.) Echo, that Friday last at Nor
gunza, DIR. Beach was MORALLY wounded in an
encounter which took place between him and
Mr.. Divide Leieune, one of the most respectable
citizens Of that place. The Echo insinuates that
the attack was founded ON some delicate questions
in which the honor of the husband is concerned
and does not question that Mr.. Lejeune was justi-

fNEuMoNIA.-This disease has for several
months prevaicdin Petersburg, and Car rs we
can learn, throughout the country, to an unprece-
dentcd extent, and with malignity and fatality
unknown to our oldest inhabitants, 1t has visited
us in the form of nm epidemic, and its rnyaccs have
been dreadful. We do not believe that the Cbel-
era. when ii was amongst us, swept away MS many
victims us the terrible malady of which we are
speaking has done. There have been hardly three
days together sincotho LIST of February in which
amclanchaly procession has not been seen i'm our
streets, following to the church-yard the rcmains
of n loved relative and friend who had sunk under
an attnck at Pneumonia. We have, in this way
lost sovcralo our most worthy and respectable
citizens whose places cannot soon be filled. In
many cases we have no doubt, life has been sacri-
feed by neglect in not calling in physician in tho
lneipicnt stage of the disease, when il cnn be
most successfully encountered. The very first de-
eided symptom ot its attack should always be the
signal Tor an Immediate recourse to medical aid
orevery hour that Is afterwards suflcredt elapse:
under the thought that there is nothing serious
IN the indispostion, and that simple remedies
usually resortcd to in families will avail, serves
but to agGrayate the complaint and to lessen the
chances Tor recovery. We sincerely hope that,
us we now nearly through the month of
March. which has been sufficiently dsagreeable
we shall soon have change OF temperature that
will put an end to the sickness which has been
experienced in community, proceeding from
tho action of cold upon the lungs during the scacre
winter we have had. We hive never known as
long season of rigorous weather us the present
has been. There has scarcely been day since
the middle of November that fires within DOORS
and cloaks without, were not indispensable. AL
though in the fourth week of the Spring we are
yet without any of its cheering iniluences-tl-
atmosphere being still harsh raw and uncomfore

MIssIssIrpI.-The Legislature of Mississippi
is engaged on the subject of the compromise
But the only point of difference between the par
ties now is the character of tho resolution, declar-
ing the acquiesence of the State. The matter
was brought before them in message from Gov
Foote, communicating the resolutions of N. Jer-
sey IN long and argumentative message. The
message was referred to committee of five, four
Union members and one Southern Rights mem
ber' OF whom majority reported series of re-
solutions approving the linality of the compro-
mise, and lauding its principles. The minority
member, on consultation with, aid as the organ
OF the Southern Rights men, reported as their
platform the very resolution in favor of acquies-
cence in the. compromise which was adopted by
the state Convention in November, wherein the
Union party had a majority. In the debate which
followed, it was declared that the Southern Rights
party would adhere faithfully to this declaration
to acquescence as the settled policy and fixed posi-
ion of the State.--N. o. Pic.

The Spring Trade does not appear to have been
very actiue in New Y ork Judging from the fol-
lowing paragraph, which we copy from the Ex-
press of that city:
1--WE are informed that the interior demand for
goods has very suddenly declined. The South
ern merchants have bought sparingly, and have
generally obtained their supplies and returned
There is yet lingering Western trade, but that
is not expected to last much longer The season
has been an unusually short one. The causes
which produced this meagre demand from the in
terror, is attributed to the scarcity of money
throughout the months of December, January
and February, in the West and South. The
money demand in those sections is, now. much
modified, and may be said to be nearly over.-
We see nothing in our money market to appre-
bend, in the nature of scarcity, at present.
From the prospect before u.s. there is every rea-
son to believe that further reductions in the rates
of interest will be made.''

MONUMENTS TO WIToHEs.-In the Legislature
of Massachusetts on Monday, petition was pre-
sented, praying that the State would hunt up the
places. in the towns OF Danvers and Salem, in
Massachusetts,, where, in the olden times persons
were buried after being hung as witches or wiz
ards, and that monuments be erected over their
graves. This record ofwhat was done in olden
times is due alike those who suffered as to show
the spirit which moved those who inflicted the
punishment The petition says:
Your petitioner believes there should be, if it
can be eonstitutionally done good monument
erected. with the names inscribed thereon of per-
sons who We're hung forwitches or wizards, at the
so-ealled Salem withcratt time, so that they may
in future be considered as mn hrs. And. truly,
they were the best of Gods People. who had
rather die than lie. For if they had said they
We're withes or wizards, they would not have been
hung.
The petition was referred to the Committee on
Capital Punishment.
