INTERESTING TO NoTARrEs PURLrc The
Cincinnati Enquirer makes the following
important suggestion: BY the recent act o.
of the General Assembly, providing for the
appointment of Notaries Public, all laws re-
lating 10 notaries and providing for their ap-
pointment are repealed from and after the
lst of april. Il therefore becomes ques-
ton of much interest to notaries, whether
all commissions heretofore granted do not
cease with the expiration of the laws under
which they are granted, and if such be the
fact il will not be safe to receive the services
otaries iu the acknowledgement Of deeds,
otherwise. after the first of April. nnIess,

Equality.

The Lecture Room Of tie BROOKLYN
Femsle Academy was crowded by fash
ionable audience to hear Rev. Henry Ward
Bsecher, Oh Monday evening, Jan. II.
The Doctor began with the general propo-
sition, that in all nature there are degrees
OF superior excellence, as well as in the
heart of man. Men are not born equal
there is no such thing as equality, except
In the moral law. Before Gods law, all
men are equally entitled to protection.
But among men there il an inequality Of
force, Of sagacity. So Of society, there is
no leveling possible. You may as well
think Of ie7eiing the surface Of tie earth.
Indeed, it would be much easier, for when
you cut down 3 mountain, it will not grow
again. Nor would it be well if it were
otherwise. The same capacity would not
suit men in their different pursuits in life
professions, trades, farming, commerce,
labor. And in each of these cailiues
again, there is an infnity Of grsdstiou.
Is this owing to chance, or is it owing to
a great prevailing law of naturs7 On
this grada:ion of the faculties Of the mind,
1epend the gradations Of society. The
power of men in society depends upon
which faculty ranks the highss. in his
mind. The animal faculties are the lowest,
lnd the man that has the greatest activity
u exercising those faculties, will produces
'roportioDate effects on our animal feelings.
de whose estheticsl faculties are superior
will rank Lig cher; he who exercises sues
.essfully the moral faculties will rank the
highest aud he who can exercise au tho
acul,ies of the mind successfully is tbs

was, of course, as there is in all cases of
change, q warm struggle between the
removalists and the anti removalists. On
the success Of the former, it was determined
TO erect new set of county buildings ; and
So farm was purchased by commissioners
as q site for these and a new town. A
correspondent, who writes from Upper

"Well, these Commission ers laid out
this farm in town lots; had public sale
and sold sufficient number of lots to pay
for the original purchase. Next the men
who purchased lots, concluded that they
must have borough charter for their new
town. But this was not all /; when they

limits, which were mile square. Well,
this bold stroke Of the temperance men
raised quite an excitement throughout the
county, and so1ae went so far as to assert
that the prohibition Of liquor would prove

to pu, up public houses for the accommo-

fee Bridge.

The editor of the Baltimore Sun paid
visit to Havre dc Grace, to see the ice
bridge and railroad track across The Sus-
quehanna, and says 1t is truly signt
rarely to be seen and worth looking at.
The width of the river there, is not less
than half mile, and above and below,
almost as far as the eye can reach, there is
nothing but a succession of icy boulders
piled up in solid mass. The track for
the railroad cars it made precisely as it is
on land, with sleepers, cross tics, and iron
rails; there is descent Of some twenty
feet on either side to the bed of the river,

cars are hauled Up and let down BY a sta
tionary engine with heavy rope. The
passengers arc carried across in sleighs,
and the time occupied is exceedingly brief.

Honesty In Little Things.
The following account of practical
sermon ia cGnied from the Vermont Chron.

The following account Of practica
sermon is copied from the Vermont Chron
icle:
"a brother in the ministry took occa
sion to preach on the passage in Luke xvi
10, He tina. is unjust in the least, i.
unjust also in much The theme was
that men who take advantage in small
things Of others, have the very element
Of character to wrong the community and
individuals in great things, where the
prospect Of escaping detection or censure
is little to be dreaded. The preacher
exposed the various ways by which people
wrong each other; such as borrowing; by
mistakes in making change; by errors in
accounts; by escaping taxes and Custom
House duties; by managing to escape
postage; by finding articles, and rever
seeking owners and by injuring articles
borrowed, and never making the fact known
to the owners when returned. One lady
next day me. her pastor, and said, I have
been up to MIR. -, to rectify an error
he made in giving me change few weeks
ago; for l felt bitterly your reproof yes
terd.y' Another individual went to Bos-
ton, to pay for an article not in her bill,
which she noticed was not charged when
she paid it. A man going home from
meeting said to his companion, Il do not
believe there was u man in the meeting
house to-day, who did not feel condemned"
It is this practical preaching, and bring
ing home to the conscience of every one
the duties Of life in all things, that gives
Henry Ward Beecher such power and in
auence. He finds texts for sermons in |
stores, workshops, the street, in the do
mes.ic circle at uome, in all the highways
and hy-ways Of life, and then points out
he right ,ray and the seroag ,cay in such
anguage as not to be misunderstood. This
t is that takes hold of the feelings, and
lrouses determination on the part Of the
hearers to better deeds.
