County Court.

This body met yesterday, and most of the JUS
tees were present. The court was principally en-
gagged in auauging the county levy, and made con-
siderable Roadway therein. The question as 10
whether the Sheriff should be allowed commission
On the delinquent list, was reported on affrma-
lively by Messrs. Fitzhugh and Sights, who were
appointed 10 settle the Sheri's accounts, and af-
ter full explanation, was decided afirmatively by
tbe.court, mem con, SO far as we could learn. The
compensation of the Clerk, for county services,
was fixed at 800, and that of the Sheriff, for sim
liar services, at s75. A separate allowance was
made for the Tailor. The Wheeling, West Liber-
ty aud Bethany Turnpike Company was authors
ed to collect tolls on that part of the road situated
in Ohio county. Several wills were proven, and
considerable other business dispatched. The full

How MUCH SLEEP?-'Show us man who sleeps
twelve hours, ssays contemporary, fand we will
show you blockhead.' The meaning of the wri-
ter, as we gather from the rest OF his article, is
that four or five hours sleeps sufficient for any
man. This, however, is an error. DlfetenceS of
constitute require different quantities of sleep,
for while one person is healthy on five hours sleep,
another requires eight. Generally speaking, indi-
viduals in whom the nervous organization predom-
mates, need the largest amount of sleep; the wear
and tear of the brain being so great, while they
are awake, that proportionate excess of sleep is
demanded. Everlasting themselves without ade-
quate sleep, is to such persons premature death;
for neuralgia, if not insanity is sure to intervene,
followed eventually byloSs oflife. For this class
of individuals to erdeavor to do with as little sleep
as those differently constituted, is like expecting
cstern, fed by periodical rains only, TO yield as
inexhaustible supplies OF water as hydrant sup
piled from public aqueduct. Its exhausting
vitality, in word, and allowing no time for recup-
Grafton.
There are some persons, fortunately constituted,
who, with high nervous organization, yet require
comparatively little sleep. RrUugham is aliying
instance. Napoleon was still smore remarkable
example. The great Emperor rarely slept 1--WE
hours. In truth, he owed his wonderful success
as much to his capacityto endure fatigue MS to his
genius, for he could outwork two ordinary men,
fnot more. Yet, after periods of immense and
protracted exertion, he would sleep Tor nearly
day, Bourriene, his secretary, relates that, after
Napoleon returned from Russia, he slept eighteen
hours without waking. Very few intellectual
men, however, could have performed Napoleon's
quantity of work, at any time, with SO little sleep.
Laborng with the brain is more exhaustlng than
laboring with the muscles, aud consequently de-
mauds as much repose, for purposes of recupeta-
ton.
Nevertheless there are persons with whom sleep
has become a disease. Theyrise late, duze after
dinner, and nodin the evening, and, in TACT, may
be said never to be more than, half awake. Such
people kill themselves, in the end, surely as if
they had been depriyedo of needfuI sic ep; for eve
ry vital function becomes torpid, life stagnates,
and death at last carries off the yictim-P iIGdst-

Queen victoria and the American Quilt.

Queen Victoria and the American Quilt.
We have seen, in a number of our exchanges,
the item refere to in the following articles, and
as an American felt rather chagrined that anybody
in this county should exhibit such taste as the
the one in question has done, and thus expose all
our ladies' to contempt. Wewere at a loss to know
where such ladies could be found, but il appears
from the following items from the Pittsburgh Post,
that they flourish in and around the smoky city.
We take pleasure, however, in saying that, as one
of the few redeemng virtues OF that place. all her
ladies are not of this cast:
HERE IS AN ITEM.-In our paper of yesterday
we published an extract from the Home Journal
which stated that certain lady residing IN Penn
syyania had, some months ago, semitic lIer Majesty
Queen Victoria, as present, an elaborately work
cd satin quilt. The gift was accepted. The LADY,
ii seems, waS indignant that no money was Tor
warded in the letter from her Majesty, and fo-th-
with ''penned and sent forward letter inslnua-
ting as much. The Queen answered by sending
draft for EGO; at the same time stating that III III
ture no gifts would be received ftom American la
dies.

ropean Agent, Showed US note from house in
New York, stating that they were authorized by
Queen Victoria 10 pay Mrs.-- the sum oil

formed, was in Allegheny city. Mr.. Blakely was

We presume thisMrs. ~, is not the one spo-
ken of in the article of yesterday.
MEssRs EDIroRs:-You published an article in
your paper of Thursday announcing the fact that
a lady had received ego as a recompence for a
heavy, fine quilt she had received from the person
who manufactured it. The lady became indig
nant on the subject, and the Queen, feeling under
obligation to the lady, wrote her complimentary
letter. but the letter did not enclose any Pecuniary
liability. This is from one who worked OH the
quilt, and you may rest assured that no lady oil Al
legheny would degrade herself by writing an in
sulting letter to another woman.
ONE OF THE ALLEGHENY WOMEN.
We are very sorry that our short paragraph, oil
yesterday, has offended a "Woman of Allegheny"
we can assure her that we had no intention of the
