A party seventeen gentlemen started
during the snow-storm of Tuesday, the
23d ult., from Buffalo to Cincinnati and
iutermediatepoints. Before reaching Erie
it was discovered that one of the pas
sengers was about closing his eyes in the
sleep of death. He was taken into a
tavern on the road, and by proper restor-
atives brought to consciousness. On
inviting the driver of the sleigh into the
house, he made no reply, and, upon ex-

YOU as to general movements of the world,
the general news of the day, and more espe-
ciallv their local intelligence which relates
to matters affecting you personally, transpir-
ing in your very midst, of moment to you
and yours in every point in view! Take the
question with you and think of it. 1t is ad-
mitted on all hands, that free press is safe
guard to the country, that journals which
convey to us intelligence ofevents that spring
up in our very midst-those events over
which we have control; as we'll as those
transpiring abroad, over which we have less
control in the one that presents the strong
est claims to your confidence and support
We hold it to be the duty of every good cit
izen to support his County paper: If he can
take more than one he may with propriety
90 abroad for the second but if he can take
but one, the local paper should always re-
ceive the preference. Its advertisements
themselves often contain matter that inter-
ests every class Of community and every
member of family. The local papers should
aim to furnish fair compendium Of both the
local and the general news of the day; and
having done that, has established claim
upon the community in which IT may be located

Country Papers.

Occasionally we meet subscriber who
complains of the amount of advertising in oul
columns; and with friend who would be.
come subscriber but for that obstacle
Such men are unreasonable. They all seem
unconscious of the fact that nineteen out o,
twenty of the newspapers in the country
would be compelled to suspend at once but
for the advertising patronage they get. But
says one-and the objection comes up just
as though it had not already been answered
a thousand times, 81 can get the -, a
paper twice as large as yours and without
advertisements in its solumns, at less rate
than you charge for yours" Yes, sir, you
can. But that paper prints thosuands where
and while we print hundreds. By means OF
its steam press, it prints off its thousands while
We are printing hundreds; then the same mat
ter is worked Up and printed off perhaps in a
half dozen other papers with as many differ
ent names. Few of the mass of journals of
our country enjoy such monopoly of adyan-
tages, and 1t can only be commanded in large
cities.
But you get your mammoth sheet with its
mammoth provisions for frittering away the
minds OF young and old, how much wiser are

The Springfield Republican gives the
following "nuts' for geologists to crack.
Hiram De Witt, of this town, who has
recently returned from California, brought
with him piece of auriferous quartz
rock, of about the size of mans fist On
Thanks giving day, it was brought out
for exhibition to a friend, when it. acci-
IDENTIFY dropped upon the floor and split
open. Near the centre of the mass was
discovered, firmly imbedded in the quartz
and slightly corroded, a cut iron nail of
the size of six-penny nail 1t was
entirely straight, and had perfect head.
BY whom was this nail made? At what
period was it placed in the yet uncrysta-
lized quartzl How came it in California?
If the head of the nail could talk, we
should know something more of American
history then We are ever likely to know.

A most curious and successful opera
ton for TRANSMISSION of blood, recently
performed in the city of Lyons France,
is thus noticed by French paper =
A successful operation for trausfusion
of blood, was recently performed, accor-
ding to the Sazta Pubzic, at Lyons. A la
dy, twenty-seven years of age, under the
effects of terrible h@morrhage, exhibi-
ted all the characteristics of approaching
death, which succeed the loss Of blood.
DIR. Delorme suggested the idea of trans
fusion of blood. The remedy was regar-
ded as hazardous, but under the desperate
circumstances of the case, justifable; and
it was adopted. DIR. Degranges, surgeon
at the Cieu, undertook the operation,
and an officer of the institution offered to
furnish from his own veins the requisite
blood. A syringe was prepared to receive
the blood to be injected into the veins of
the dying woman The syringe being
filled with about 900 grampes of the
borrowed blood was plunged into warm
water, of temperature somewhat above
that of the blood in circulation. A vein
in the arm of the patient was chosen as
the most convenient for receiving the in
lection. This vein having been opened,
fine tube was introduced, adapted to
the syringe, and through this the vivify-
ing fluid was carefully forced into the ex-
hausted blood vessels Of the now sense
less woman. Almost Immediately she
began to revive, feeling, as she after
wards described it, an agreeable warmth
distributed throughout her body. Con-
sciousness soon returned, andin the course
of an hour or two, there was SO lively and
intense reaction as to excite considera-
bic eanxiety among the medical attendants.
The patient, however, continued to i'm
prove, and at the last accounts first
of November--the most confident hopes
were entertained that the experiment
would be completely successful.

Hcaitia of Vr. Clay.

The Washington Republic of the Sd inst
says that the condition of Mr.. Clay is such as
to require his being kept quiet, and the re-
suit of his affiiction very uncertain, though
ardent hopes ere entertained for his recovery.
On New Years Eve Kossuth, accompanied
By Gen. Cass, called upon him, but he was
unable to see them. 1t is scarcely probable
his voice will.ever again be heard in the pub
lie councils IF il is, it will be in behalf of
his country's dearest interests. A correspon-
ent of the North American says-" All his
efforts and hopes are now directed TO enable
him to gain sufficient strength to appear once
more in the Senate, and TO utter his last ad-
monition against the danger Of the new doc
trines which have been broached, and which
threaten the permanency of our institutions.
lie would rather speak than write out his
thoughts; and while maintaining, as he has al
ways done heretofore, the cause of liberty
throughout the world, and proclaiming him
self its infexib!c champion, he viii at every
ha azard pronounce against the scheme of III
iervention. The time at which he means to
make this exposition of his views cannot now
be definitely fixed, and must depend upon his
physical condition but he is stern and re-
solved in his purpose 10 make it, and he will
make it, even if in the attempt he should die
on the Aoor.''

The Position osiIae sevyisEl Race

The Rev. Mr.. Franklin, converted
Jew in sermon at New York, few
days since, discussed the resources and
destiny of the Jewish race, and predicted
the downfall Of the Anglo Saxon. 1t was
a remarkable fact that while all the ma
tions had a social affinity to each other,
the Jewish race repels every advance !;
even now the Anglo Saxons were under
going that process Of amalgamation that
preceded the downfall of the Roman
race. The Jews were scattered over all
the world every nation in Europe, and
even the wilds of Hindostan owns their
presence. From this he argued that the
Jews were destined to evangelize the
world Jews control the destinies of
Europe. Rothschilds holds the British
lion in golden chain, He hes thrown
morsel to the growing Russion bear,
and keeps the Keys of the French treas
ury. Jews control the public press, and
they must eventually rise superior to ihe
tyranny which now Expresses them. The
newspaper press of Europe is at present
conducted by Jews and Jewish CORES
pondents. In Britain 100 Jews have
been converted to the christian faith and
100 have been baptized in one year in
London; SIS in SILICA 1864 in Warsaw
The total number Of converted Jews was
700 in this country over 900 had been
converted. Only 1900 Israelites were
in connexion with the christian church.
1t is remarkable fact that nearly one
third country were either preaching the
gospel or preparing for the ministry.
