THE Country PREss.-NotbiDg

THE COUNTRY PREss.-NotbiDg is more
common, says one Of our brethren OF the
country press, when person comes to stop
his paper, than to give us an excuse for so
doing, that he takes so many papers that
he can't aft ord to pay for them oil. The
person forge,s that by so doing he insults
the feelings of the editor; aud if such is
really the reason why he discontinues his
paper, he ought to have good breeding
enough to keep il 30 himself. 1t virtually
amounts to this; take number Of papers
| want to stop one, AMI as yours is the
poorest Of the whole, III stop thar.
Now, while we admit the righ: Of II
man to take whatever paper or papers he
pleases, yet we lay down as a principle
Shat the local press should receive his first
support, because upon himself and others
IN the neighbor hood it looks for support
Nothing can he more calling to Il country
editor than 10 hear Of Boston papers having
their six or seven thousand subscribers,
when his paper has not so many hundreds;
yet he works as hard TO get out good pa
paper as his city friends, and the only
reason why it Is not so large and interest
ing, is because it has not such good support.
Party presses depemd upon party men for
support, uuu III "i PoHtiC"i Coutests tHc
country press, il it does not take the lead /,
does most Of the work.
We like the country papers; they remind
us Of home. There is a rusticity, a good
naturetness about them which goes to the
heart. But the public mind has become
vitiated, il longs fol the metropolitan pa
pers, aud the good old paper which has
been taken in the family twenty years, has
to be given ur, tnrhcd of, lko superan-
nuated horse, to die in its old age. Thus
everything is becoming Bostonian. Our
young men read Boston papers, they fall
in love with Boston fashions & Boston life.
The plow & the scythe T. the hoe lose their
charm. lie longs To- be mcrchnDt; farm
ing aud mechanical iabors nre only fix for
clowns. Well, hs goes to Boston, em-
ters into business, IN a few years fails,
comes back to his fathers house in debt
and untitled for everything useful. A
great deaf has been written on the passion
which our young men have FOR city fife
Let farmers take papers printed IN their
own county, and see IL the passion dom

Free SOIL DEMocRAcY.-The Wash.
ington correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun
says:
81 now learn thar number Of them have
held a caucus, in this city, and agreed to-
oppose the nominations. The majority of
the Free Sellers hold the Convention re-.
sponsible for the endorsement of the fugi-
tive slave law, and have therefore, opened
the campaign against the ticket Of Pierce
and King"

Gen. Pierce has been we'll received among
Democrats of all classes except the Free
Sellers aud River and Hai bor Improve

that district, so much relied upon for strong
Democratic majorities, it has created I
profound dissatisfaction. Senator Chase,
Mr. Townsend, Mr. Durkee, Of Wiston-
sin, and other gentlemen ot und6ubted in
huence and standing, explicitly and pub
licly declare that they cannot support tho
nomination. AS foi Preston King, the

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.

Not many days since a gentleman, who
had lost bet with lady, and who had
heard her say that she had lost u veil which
| she priced much, thought he would pay his
debt mud edo the polite thing" by Puichas-
ing n new veil o: fine quality and present
ing il to his fair creditor.
Ii must be stated for a proper under
standing Of what followed, that The gentle
man was a bachelor Of long stnHdiig, q
man Of little information touching the
world OF "fancy goods" though q profci-
ent in sugar, cotton md provision specula-
| tion.
He accordingly stepped into fushiona-
BILE milliner's establishment and asked TO
see lace veil--of fine quality.
'Here is ono, monsieur" said the ainia-
ble priestess a. the head OF the temple.
Slow much is it?'
u, is one fiftee, SIR
"What only fifty! Dear me! thought
these things were exceedingly dear. II
that's all they cost don't wonder ut the
ladies being fond Of wearing such flimsy
nicknacks. Only fifty Dear me! Show
me something bette, !''
The priestess stared, the bachelor re-
NAMED pei fecily cool. Here was a god
send man who wanted something better
--dearer. More veils-lacs ones-were
displayed.
'Dis is one sixtee, sair; and dis one
seyentee-fve.'
Dear me only seventy -fve3 We'll that
is wonderful to be sure. It's a very pretty
article, l see-but-can't you show me
something better!"

"You don't say soi Well! Well! who
would have thought it! These women I!
they always were mystery, ever since the
days OF Adam. Give mo The chunge for
dollur-in quarters"
The miiliner did so.
'I'll take this one,' said the simpleminded
bachelor, folding up the seventy-fve VEIL
"Give me a quarter and keep the seventy
five for yourself. Dear me! how cheap |!
Who would have thought ii!"
Il no see de seventee-five, sair? You
have no hand dem to me- said the mill
ner.
81 beg your pardon, ma'am,' said the
bachelor amiabIy and smilingy; there
they are on the COUNTER pointing 10 the
three quarters.
sDisn exclaimed the milliner, with an
astonished look.
'rhat! said the bachelor, more smilingly
than ever, preparing to put the veil in his
pocket.
'Ah, mon Dieu! de man fou-crack-a
brain! tell you, monsieur, da. article de
most dear in dc citee! You understan me
you no understand de nsIish! De most
dear, | tell ly0u-sevcntee-f five dollar!"
Whatn said the bachelor, turning rather
pale, and dropping the veil as il it had
suddenly turned to a coal Of fire in his
hands Seventy five dolars!"
"Yes, sair! andlvery sheep AT dat"
"Seventy-fve dollars for that Internal
coSweb! ! thought you meant seventy

Irever bachelor walked fast that bache-
lor did. He goes round now, in stew of
Indignation, relating his adventure, and
winding up his story with the words:
'Yes, sir; the female French woman
actually asked me seventy-fve dollars for
the short end of an Internal cObweb!
An inexperienced bachelor going into a

VNOULD announce that they haye pur-
w chased the right for this State. 10 use the
new method of mounting Artificial Teeth upon
Metallic Plates, recently discovered by Dr. Allen,
Of Cincinnati, and for which he has obtained let
ters patent They now offer it with entire con-
fdence 10 their friends and the public, believing
it to be an improvement which will add much "
the comfort aud convenience Of those who may
adopt it. BY this discovery several advantages
are gained. There is no metal used less pure
than fine gold, and cannot be acted upon by the
secretions of the mouth. The teeth are sOIdered
to u platinum base with pure gold, and by means
of IA mineral composition are united to each other
and to the plate in such manner to form u
most perfect artificial gum, without space or
seam, and 50 firmly fused to the plate as to rem
der il impossible for even the slightest moisture
to get between them, uniting strength, cleanli-
ness and durability. The public are very re-
speciiully invited to call and examine specimens,
and Judge Of the merits Of the invention.
Office 73 Westminster street, first house above
the Arcade. Providence.
As some doubts have been expressed as re-
CARDS the quality Of platinum, we would refer
to the following certificate from Prof. Chace
BRowN UNIvERsITY, April IS, 1852.
GRNrLEM your enquiry whether
platinum may be employed with safety 10 health
in dental operations, have no hesitation in Civ
ing an affirmative answer. IL Is one Oi the most
inattackable substances in nature. Although re-
sembing silver IN appearance, 1t has twice the
density Of that metal, and differs remarkably from
ii in nearly all its physical and chemical prop
critics. Only two Of ,he known acids-the nitro
murjatic and the nitro o-hydrohuOrc-have any
effect upon it, both Of which dissolve gold with
even greater facility. Neither platinum nor gold,
when pure. are at all acted upon by the fluids Of
the mouth, and consequently can exert no preju-
the filling or fastening Of teeth. As the former.
however, is found in commerce and the arts only
in an unadulterated state, while the latter is met
with alloyed ia every proportion wnh tire baser
metals. the employment Of platinum may always
be regarded as safer than the use Of gold, unless
il has come Immediately from the hands Of the
assayist. Yours, &C.,

CINCINNATI, June 22.-The excitement
among our politicians was very great, and
this morning it reached the highest pitch Of
excitement; but the Wings were agreeably
disappointed when the nomination of Gen.
Scott was announced. The selection seems
to give universal satisfaction to the party
in Ohio.
