~G75S, 466 has been expended
in the search for Sir John Franklin.
For less than one.half of that amount
he might have been found. The pro-
per way to find 1.-THE lost" is to adver-
tise. Had an advertisement been put
in some Of the New England papers
for him offering a reward" he could
have been found long before this, or
some one else answering the discrip-
ton who (if the world did not know
the difference) would answer as we'll.
We incline to the belief that Sir John
is fose up in the ice somewhere about
the pole, and if he could be found, and
thawcd out, he would be just as good
a man as ever-perhaps q little i'm
proved by experience.

Mn. CoxEr As the session" h
rapidly drawing to close, It is very
impertant-indee I'may my neces.
sary, that something should be done
for the country. I am opposed to
forcing bills through" asthe phrase is,
but like to see them vigilently canvas.
sch in all their parts and disposed Of
speedily The subject of this epistfe
is to awaken the Legislative mind to =
bill, now in course Of fabrication. which
ID designed to correct q growing evil
Il is well known to US all, that the fe.
male women Of the West have appoin-
tod emissaries all over the Union who
are sssiduously and insiduously at work
endeavoring to bring about q new or
der Of things. The result Of their la.
bor isnot only seen, but felt. They
would turn over the throne upon which
the so called lord Of creation sits, and
plant in his stead female woman.
It would not at all surprise me to
find the very next legislature compos-
ed of strong minded women. It be-
hoves us Knights Of the Holy Order
Of the Garter. to hunt up pre0ento-
the; which in this case, will b. worth
more than four pounds and half Of
mere remedy. The committee on
weights and measures have in course
of preparation bill, one section OF
which reads:
BE 1t further enacted, DC. That
it shall not be lawful for any Mayor.
Minister or Justice Of the Peace q1s0d
hoe, to'unite in matrimonial bands any
couple, unless difference Of one foot,
| is found to exist in their stature"
That is, that the female women shall
be at least one foot shorter than the
male man. This will in great meas.
ure put stop to growing evils, which
are found to come out ofthe fact that
in many matches nowadays, the weak
minded male, has to look up to the
strong minded female, which is con
trary to nature. It is believed that
the passage of this act will not only
improve the moral, but also the physi
cal condition, and tend to the redemp
ito. of the race from the pigmatic pos
itiAn, into which it is rapidly declining
I hope Mr.. Comet that you who have
the interest Of the community SO .nea
at heart" will prepare the public mint
for the bill which is to eminate from
the standing committee on weights ant
measures.
