Stark, Superintendent of the Hudson
River Railroad, states that, hereafter,
torpedocs are to be placed on the tract,
whenever drawbridgcs are hoisted in
thick weather. Mr., Stark says
THE explosion caused by running

heard throughout the entire train, com
municoting the alarm with absolute Ger.
tainty to all OIL board I have this day
directed that no drawbridge on this
road shall hereafter be opened, either by
day or by night, without torpcdoes being
first placed upon the rails five hundred
yards distant on each side, In addition
to the usual signals"

Two OF THE MoTnERs.-A cores
pendent of the Newburyport Daily
Union, writing from Ryegate, Yer
mont, describes two old ladies', whom
we will introduce to our readers
through cxtracts-from his letter:
Among the old persons now residing
here, / met Mrs. Whitclaw, formerly
Mrs. Harvey, the mother of Peter Har-
vcy, of Boston, whose name he's so Of
ten been before the public as the conf
dental friend of Daniel Webster. She
is now eighty-fve years of age, and has
in her day been a remarkable woman.
As she came into the place when it
was an entire wilderness, she must al
so have witnessed many remarkable
events. Her first husband was the
agent of Scottish company who pur-
chased and settled Ryegate. She has
thus been the wife of two of the first
men of what are now two wealthy and
popular towns. The first husband was
nearly forty years old when they mar.
ried yet she was so young that the
united ages of her first three chillren
combined with her own made but six.
teen years, and when her young ac-
quaintances called to see her, the hus.
band would tell her that she might "get
the babies to sleep and go out to play"
She afterwards was the mother Of
twelve other children, of whom she
calls Petcr"my baby"
Another lady, a Mrs. Brock, now
ninety years old, was among the set
tiers. Being in good health and re-
tainIng the powers Of her mind, she
remembers the whole history of the
country around, with great distinct
ness. She seems tohave been equally
well adapted to living in and Peep ling
o new place, as the one named above
and has living no less than five gen
cratious of her descendants. She can
say to her daughter what but few could
say" Arise, my daughter, and 20 tc
thy daughter, for thy daughter
daughter has got daughter"

A Suggestion.

We would suggest to the fierce OPP
ponants of our Liquor Law, who make
war upon it on account of its alleged
unconstitutionality, that they turn to
the laws of the United States and see
if they can't find among them an act
very similar, and of equal stringency
with ours, for the suppression of the
traffic and sale of spirituous liquors
to the Indians D.; and then read the de.
cision Of the United States Courts,
rld see if they can't find one dcclar-
ing that and other laws involving the
same principles and provisions to be
constitutional. Ii they find such a
law and such a decision, then We
would further suggest whether, if a
law Of that kind passed by the United
States is constitutional, ours can be
very unconstitutional and further al
so, whether the people of Vermont arc
not as worthy of being protected a.
gainst the multitorm evils of this death
doing traffic, as the Indians of the
West ?-.Uontprlier Freeman.

CONSUMPTION

Though often hereditary, il arises more fire.
qucntly from causes which few medical writ
crs have yet noticed. The highest classes are
more subject To it than the lower, who have
to labor for their support by exercising their
arms, by which means the visccra of the chest
and all the organs of the stomach are devel-
opcd. These are the regions where all the
vital organs are seated. The upper classes,
on the other hand, generally exercise then
lower limbs, which can never be done, but at
the sacrifice and expense Of the upper cNtrcm
tiles and chest. Alas consumption and pre-
mature deaths are but too often the results
of their error.

s4- Goethe has written few pass
ages more beautiful than the follow
ing:-
"The year is going away like the
sound Of bells. The wind passes over
the stubble, and finds nothing to move,
only the red berries Of that slender
tree, which seem as if they would fain
remind us of something cheerful and
the measured beat of the thresher's
fail calls up the thought that in the dry
and falling ear lies so much ncurish-
ment and life."

IA Professor OLMsrED says it was
generally known, Of course, that the sun
was the source of all light, but it was
not so generally known Or thought Of,
that the sun was also the origin of all
the colors presented 10 the eye. 1t was
not so generally known that hence sum
mer borrowed her green mantle, and win
ter her vcstal robe-that every flower of
the garden was not bright and beauti-
full of itself, but simply because it rcncc-
ted the suns rays, and borrowed all its
tints and attire from the solar beams.
Nor was it well known that all the SPLEEN
did colors Of the mineral kingdom were
but the reflection of the suns rays-the
purple of the sapphire--the green of the
cmcrald-thc red of the ruby, or the
brilliant light of the diamond, all come
from that source
