Wing Agreements.

The following is specimen of the only
arguments used by the Wings in favor
of their candidate for President. Having
no faith in the intelligence of the people.
and every confidence in their gullibility +,
they studiously avoid joining issue with
the Democrats upon the Legitimate quail
fcations of the two candidates, but are
flooding the country with series of anec.
dotes, as false as they are ridiculous, to
divert public attention from the fact of the
absence of all craftsmanship in their can
didate. The following is a specimen:
After that we shall certainly have to go
for Scott, over the left.
A Noble Youth.
The following anecdotc was related 10
gentleman during night he spent in
farm house in Virginia, some few years
ago:
In December, IL, towards the close
OF dreary day, woman with an infant
child were discovered half buried in the
snow, BY little Yirginian seven years
old. The lad was returning from school,
and hearing the means Of some one in dis
tress, threw down his satchel of books.
and repaired to the spot from whence the
sound proceeded, with firmness becom-
ing one of ripper years. Raking the snow
from the benumbed body of the mother,
and using means to awaken her to a sense
ofherdeplorable condition the noble youth
succeeded in getting her on to her feet !;
the infant nesting on its mothers breast,
turned its eyes towards their Youthful
prcserver and smiled, as it seemed in
gratitude for its preservation. With a
countenance filed with hope the gallant
youth cheered the sufferer ON, himself
bearing within his tiny arms the infant
child, while the mother leaned for support
on the shoulder of her little conductor
p" My home is hard by" would he exclaim
as oft as her spirits failed and thus for
three miles did he cheer onward to a hap
ply haven the mother and child, both of
whom otherwise must have persisted, had
it not been for the humane feeling and
perseverance Of this noble youth.
A warm FIRE and kind attention soon re-
lieved the sufferer, who Il appeared was

from New Hampshire, a recent purchaser
of farm in the neighborhood of -.

several days found him and in Eve
months after, the identical house in which
we are now sitting was erected, and recei-
yea the happy family. The child grew
up 70 manhood-entere6 the army--lost

end his days, solace to the Declining
years Of his aged parents.

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM HYDRoPHOBIA.-
We mentioned few days ago, that Capt.
Williams who had been bitten By rabid
dog at Brandywine Del, had subsequent
ly died of hydroprobia at his residence
near Cape May. DR.. Wales, his attend
ing physician, thus describes the condition
of the unfortunate man after he became
aware of the nature of his disease
i" Fully awake to the awful nature of
his situation, his mind, too, but little dis
turbed, he continued from this time
(about s O'Clock, p. NJ. in very wake
full state, now conversing with tolerable
composure upon such topics as might be
suggested, and anon thrown into the most
painful muscular contortions, especially IL
any liquid were offered him, or even any
allusion made to anything of the kind
The case, however, did not attain its
worst phase until about o'clock the fol-
lowing morning. He seemed, indeed,
from early dawn to this hour, a little more
composed; had even forced down small
quantity of milk. although not without an
effort which WAS painful to behold. Al
or near o'clock, however, the final
struggle commenced. With wild scream
he besought the presence of his mother,
his wife, and others Of his relations and
friends, and took formal leave Of them
in manner as rational as possible. This
was at once succeeded by paroxysms
so violent as TO require his being firmly
secured to the bed, in which situation the
Spasms increasing fast in frequency and
violence, with rapid flow, of saliva, at
first frothy and yiscid, but afterwards
thinner, less tenacious, and made up o!
froth and glairy fluid. which he sputtercJ
forth forcibly while his strength continu-
ed, clutching at it with his hands, some
times, as tito tear it away from his mouth.
His countenance was now at times shock
ingly distorted, and his brain rrenzied,
his teeth rafting and gnashing in q terri
BILE manner. He continued in this awful
state until about half past 10 o'clock, A.
NJ, when his power having so far failed
as to prevent his dislodging the fast accu-
mulating saliva, his throat gradually
filled with it, and he expired.
" In the fitting and varied expressions
which passed over the cOuntenance OF the
unfortunate patient toward the close oil
life, there were exhibited such appearan.
ces as would lead tho beholder without
much strength of the imagination, to
suppose that the rabid creature whose
deadly poison was circulating through his
system by its bite, had worked out the
fact OF transforming his very nature into
his own. There was the rabid canine
expression as fully expressed as the hu.
man features would in any way allow OF.
Thus ended a tragedy, which in "a
practice OF twenty five years, have seen
nothing to compare with"

MORE STEAMBOAT RAc1NG.-It is sta.
ted that while the jury were receiving
testimony at Yonkers, n. Y, on TUESDAY,
relative to the destruction of the Henry
Clay, two steamers passed near the Ian.
ding, apparently in a hotly contested race.
regardless ofthe horrid scenes which had
occurred a few days previous, almost
within bow-shot of their track. A COR
respondent of the Evening Post also
states that the same day on which the ca
tastroPhe to the Henry Clay occurred, the
6oat IN which the writer went to Pough-
keepsle was racing the whole way with
another, until at length the boiler became
SO dangerously heated that she had tolay
by for an hour and half. This instance
shows to what an alarming extent the
practice ofracing has been carried.

main sir, your ob'dt scrv't,
A LooKER on IN VENICE.

STEPHEN ALLEN.-This is the name of
a man who had arrived at an honorable
and ripe old age, in New York, and clo-
sed well-spenL life under the appalling
circumstances attending the catastrophe
of last week on the Hudson river. The
manner of his death has been instrument
tai in diffusing throughout the land, the
good mans fame, and by a ortuitous event
he was made the unconscious agent in de-
termining the genuineness of his own
character. 1t has been already remarked
thar slip from newspaper was found
in his pocket.book this slip has been re-
published by New York paper and is as
follows
Keep good company or none. Never
be idle. If your hands cannot be useful
ly employed attend to the cultivation of
your mind. Always speak the truth
Make few promises. Live up to your en-
gagements. Keep your own secrets if
person always look him in the face. Good
very sinews of virtue. Good character is
above all things else. Your character
cannot be essentially injured except by
your own acts. If any one speaks i'll of
you, let your life be so that none will be-
lieve him. Drink no kind of Intoxicating
liquors. Ever live (misfortunes excep-
ted) within your income. When you re-
tire to bed think over what you have been
doing during the day. Make no haste to
be rich if you would prosper. Small and
steady gains give competency with tran
guilty of mind. Never play at any kind of
game Of chance. Avoid temptation thro'
fear you may not withstand it. Earn
money before you spend it. Never run
into debt unless you see way to get out
again. Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it. Do not marry until you are
able to support wife. Never speak evil
of any one. Be just before you are gem
erous. Keep yourself innocent if you
would be happy. Save when you are
young to spend when your are old. Read
over the above maxims at least once a
week.
The slip taken from the pocket-book, it
is said, is evidently old, and has been
worn long and perused often" We con-
TESS that in copying, it we are actuated by
hope that the counsel contained in these
maxims may be Universally treasured by
the readers Of the Sun. Several of them
are old and familiar to most people, but,
as whole they constitute complete COM
pendulum of practice which cannot fail, if
considered and appreciated with some
thing more than the ordinary attention
bestowed upon these things, to produce a
salutary effect upon the character and
life.
It's hardly necessary on our part to
say how admirable these maxims are
adapted to the memory of the man, who
has thus left them as a public legacy to
his fellow citizens. From him they come
with added force, his life constituting a
telicltous illustration of their practical va
Iue. And thus commended 10 the admi-
RATION and use of all who are disposed to
profit by the sage experience of the de-
ceased, none who do SO will fail to rejoice
at no distant day, over the intrinsic worth
OF the twenty-eight maxims, from the
Pocket-book of Stephen Allen.

on the 9th inst He was hung in the pre-
sence of the jury, and few officers only
who were admitted.
The unfortunate man was dressed in
black pants, black silk vest, and blue coat.
He walked from the cell and assembled
the scaffold with firm step, and mani
tested no signs of fear. He met his death
without any apparent struggle, the Sher-
iff, Mr.. Deal, performing the painful du-
ties in person.
On the scaffold he repeatedly said that
he had nothing TO say farther than he
had made his peace with his God, and
was perfectly willing to suffer the penal
~ of the law.
After the body had been suspended
about thirty minutes. il was delivered
over to the priests in accordance with
the request of hedying man. s.
About thirty persons witnessed the ex-
ecution, the sheriff having withstood the
innumerable solicitations made 10 him for
admittance. ~
A biography Of the prisoners life has
been prepared by the Priests in atten-
dance, which will be translated and pub
lished tomorrow. 1t does not vary from
the statements already made. %
While on the scaffold he said in Polish,
' am not guilty of the crime"-at this
moment the Hungarian Priest in atten-
dance, not understanding what he was
saying, interrupted him and he did not
resume again. Aa 1ff

some instances being made at decline, from
last weeks prices, The stock in first hands
not being more than sufficient to supply the

up in the former article. Sales were made
in lots to the extent 531 hhds, at 5fa61.
Molasscs The market is firm; the demand,
however, has been limited to small lots.
So far as we could ascertain, not over 600
bbls changed hands, at 50, 351a36c for cy-

WooI--Very little, as yet has been done
in this impotent staple ofour country. Cold
weather, and an exceedingly late spring,
has kept the growers from clipping their
sheep, consequently very little will be done
ill June. This time last year, Eastern man
ufacturers had their agents in the country,

year, matters present entirely different as
pect,-no orders have been sent out, and
very few, if any, agencies have been made.

33 cents for common to full blood, and
IS cents for strictly prime. which is a de-
,line of fully 10 cents per pound, from the

conceded, the clip will be heavier than usual

to know what we meant when we said
that--"If they tell you the law is unjust and
unequal, point them to the provision that

erty of the State, on the duplicate, that un-
der whig laws was exempt from taxation, "
you can Just tell him friend Hatton that we
meant the banks and nothing else but the
banks. We know that he is not democrat,
from the simple fact of his asking such silly
questions. If he had taken the trouble to
have read the whole OF the article that the
above quotation is taken from, he would
have known what we meant, and thereby
saved him the modification of looking SC
ridiculous in asking such silly questions

Cattle--The market yesterday was well
,uppled with Beeves. Of other descrip-
ions but a small number were offered.
The former high rates for cattle were main
aimed. Some 600 head were offered and
disposed of at prices ranging from 81 to &c
gross, equal to 64a8c net. At the close Of
he market there were none left over, being
all taken at the foregoing prices, principally
by our city butchers.
Of other description of cattle, there was
nothing done worth mentioning. A few

'The Sentinel and Marshall Nc

The above is the heading Of an article in
last weeks, Republican, in which the editor
Of that paper tries to in;imila'e US from pur-
suing our present course in relation tn Mar
shall Mccall. He says that he "heard it
(meaning the article which appeared in the

We would Just say TO our
friend that we have read the like ofIhe above
quotation before, and know what it is intend
ed for as well as he can know. 1t is not
a very supposable case that as rank whig
as our friend Hatton is, would take the trou-
bic ofgoing rould among democrats, AMI
asking them their opinions OF certain articles
which appear in the Sentinel Ifhe did, we
should call it a small business
Now the whole matter is this. Our arti-
Gle headed eyes he did," is striking at the
right place. and makes certain gentlemen
feel as if they'd wish it was not them. In
opposing the demagogue trick of Marshall
Mccall we expected to see our friend Hat
ton, and Mr. Mccall both cry out before
the matter was ended, "stop, stop" And
it appears we were not mistaken. Mr.. Nc
Call has said that he should not reply to any
thing more that we might say, and the ed-
tor Of the Republican tells us our course is
disapproved of, as much as to say, "you
had better stop" We need no better PROOF
of the effect thai our article is having on GER
tain gentlemen than the course the editor of
the Republican is pursuing in relation to the
matter. When Mr.. McCall's reply to our
former article was published. Mr.. Hatton
also replied to it. That was all very we'll
But then it had taken such an effect upon
him, that he could not wait for us to reply
to him and Mr.. Mccall before he had to
pounce upon us again. 1t must have hurt
you friend Hatton, Or you would not have
been so eager to use your quill. Well
friend Hatton write on, talk to al the Dem
ocrats you can about the Sentine's course
and YOU shall receive our hanks. If yOul
friend, Mccall has done good act during
the past winter, do tell it, and not be re.
peatihg over SO much balderdash about
nothing. Show something that is worth
telling about. We are the last one thai
would abuse him for doing what is right,
but when he does wrong he will have to bcal
the same fate Of his brethren who are con.
tinually doing that which is wrong.
