rivalry was confined to the growing of vegeta-
bles or the raising of double headed calves,
it was to be endured. Oflate, however, the
thing has taken new start. Witness the
following from the Sandusky Register:
ave are credibl, nformed that there is a

which weighed sepeateea pounds at its birth

EXTENSION OF THE BRITIsH EMPIRE.-The
var waging by Great Britain against the King
Of Burmah has offered another excuse for that
country to extend its already Colossal EN-
pire in the East. The Washington Union
has received, from an authentic souce, the
copy of decree of the Governor general of
British India, annexing to the British domin-
ions in that region the large and populous
province Of Pegu--the southern and most
important portion of the Burmese Empire.
This decree was prOmul gated on The 2Oih of
December. 1852, from the quarter deck of
Her Majesty's ship Fox. off the city of Ran
goon. The northern limit Of this new addi-
ton to the British Indian possession has not
yet been defined, but the line Of demarkation
may be anticipated as running along, or be-
ing near to- the 10Th parallel Of north latitude
including the captured city of Prone. and
extended across the whole country TO the
mountain frontier Of Siam. The annexed ter
rltOry includes the several outlets Of the Bur
rumpoorler, and all the other large rivers
afforded easy communication not only with
Ava and the whole northern Burnah, but ex.
tend to the borders Of the Chinese dominions
thus under British rule. opening direct trade
with the most densely populated country OIL

The Boston Pilot (Catholic), expresses its
opinion of young America Referring to the
appointments Of the President, DC, it says;
"Now, this catastrophe of throwing Young
America overheard is not little gratifying.
The nasty little clique Of the Democratic Re-
view had been all along claiming General
Pierce as their property, as FalstaG claimed
Prince Henry. And the discontinue of the
old villain when Henry, become King refus-
ed to notice him, may serve to picture the
dismay of the little den of apostates whom
the President, it seems. has determined 10
put down. May his arm be rirm and strong"
This is very complimentary to such poIiti-
clans as flourish in Ohio. 1t explains the
reasons why they don't get any important

party are so abominab!y corrupt and so lost
to all sense of honor and right as TO nominate
some rotten hearted politician, or some one ut
terly unqualified for the Office, we hope the

the ruinous and outrageous example, but leave
the nomination to the teachers and to the PEo-
PIE. If, after what L. Andrews has done for
