tho world actually mores. Yes, the world goes
ahead, and is bound to go ahead. Delaware is
illustrating this fact Under the Revised Code
Of that State the "whpping post and pillory
shall be in or near the Jail yard" This is the
first step of these public functionaries of Della
ware on the path of retirement to private life.
According to this arrangement of the law, the
whipping post and pillory in Wilmington, was,
on Friday last, taken down from the Public
Green, where it has stood for so many years,
and planted in the Jail yard. On Saturday.
three convicts were publicly whipt, ono with
twelve. one fifteen, and one twenty lashcs. But
this whipping post will at length be shamed out
of its business, it has been shamed out of its
position on tho Public Green Common,ee

OBITUARY.

Died on the 9th ult, at his residence near
Newport, EDWARD EDELEN, in the 10Th year
of his age, leaving a family of six children to
mourn their irreparabe loss.
Few men Of SO advanced an age have retired
from the stage of life leaving behind them a char
acter more unsullied than that of the deceased ;
he was kind neighbor, sincere friend, and a
fond and devoted parent. No murmurs were
heard to fall from his lips during the long period
that that fell disease, consumption, was making
its ravages on his mortal frame. His end was
that of true Christian. He died sustained by
the rites and consultations of that church of which
in life he had been devout and Jealous member
His last moments were spent in humble invoca-
ton of the Divine aid and in parental admonltions
to those little ones over whom he had watched
with so much anxious solicitude. May Heaven
direct them in the way they should walk now that
no mothers or fathers eye is near to point out
the hidden dangers that beset their course e.

PRoHIBIToRY Liquor LAW IN MICHIGAN.
On the Cd of December, the &C. prohibiting
the sale Of spiriuous and malt liquors, wine,
cider, &C., except under certain restrictions
went into operation in the State of Mich-
gan. The law was passed by the Legisia-
ture, subject to the ratification OF the people.
by whose suffrsges it was sustained at q
regular election. On this ground it is pre-
sumed that the conssitulionalty Of the act
will be tested at the ensuing session of the
Supreme Court Of the United Slales. If The
law be declared constitutional, no, only the
principle of prohibition will have been es-
tablished, but the exercise Of what many
deem extraordinary legislative power will
be legalzed. IL i. be declared unconslitu!ion-
al, although the principle of prohibition
may no! be touched, the judgment will con-
firm the views Of many jurists who deny
The power of a legislative body to submit
an act 10 the decision Of its constituents.
The question is therefore a very interesting
one.

"WHERE's KossUTH Z" is question that
is sometimes impertinenlly asked. The

"Kossu'h, as we learn by private advices,
remains 10 London, confident that the course
of events must, sooner or latter, drag Aus
tria into the conflict, and that the western
powers can then no longer remain indiffer-
ent. The Hungarians will then have an
opportunity to renew their struggle for in.
dependence and, instead of being compell-
ed to fight the combined armies Of Austria
and Russia, without support, they will have
the active aid of the rest of Europe. In
deed, the entrance of Austria into the war,
would be the signal for general revolution
in all the countries now subject to her des-
potic power.'
