Well worthy is he of this distinguished honor.

of liberty, that osracised him from his native land -
After hard service in the State which he selected for
his residence and distinguished career, in its behalf
in the highest legislative halls of the country, where
the ardor of his patriotism and the brancy of his
eIoquence universally acknow lodged, his asso-
ciaes find his name before them for confirmation for
this important post and without even the common
formaty of reference to committee, ii meets their
unanimous approval. This is credtable alike to the
Senate. Senator Soule will enter upon his duties
with a strong desire to promote the interest of his
country. With what an honest pride may this once
osracised citizen of the old world return it clothed
with embassadoal power by the giant nation of the
new world He possesses many and unusual quail
caons for minister; for tothe training of the states
man he joins the graces of the accomplished gentle

continuance OF the same success that has marked his
past political course and believe that he will discharge
the duties of his new office with credit to himself and
with honorto the country.-Boston Post

CHURLIsH HUSBANDS The Rochester Temperance
Journal, in reply to an article describing the mise
ries of u wife who had chursh: indolent husband,
says:
Who are the most to blame for such husbands
az the one described above? We verify believe that
the proper answer is-mothers. Yes mothers who
have gone out for pail of water or dug the wool
out of the snow, while her lazy lout of son has
been permitted sit and roast his shins by the fire
she has made We have lived to sons thus bro't
up become husbands, and never knew one that
bows who are permitted to lie in bed until father or
mother has got up and made the fire, will be savage
enough to let their wives do the The only
way to manufacture decent husbands out of such
sons is for the wife to begin Immediately after mar
riage and if need be- lie in bed until she has starved
or shamed her husband out of it.'

THE PIONEER
AGRICULTURAL.
What Constitutes a Lawful Fence.


Knowing that no question is more fire.
quently propounded to Justices of the
Peace, and Probate Judges who are elect
ed to know the law, and to lawyers who
study to know it, we are determined to
save deal of trouble by letting out the
secret and telling every body what consti-
tutes lawful fence.
The idea is very prevalent that the Leg
islature has fixed the length, thickness and
number of rails, and established stand
ard for worm fences, as well as for weights
and measures But this is one of the silly
things they have not done.
All the law upon the subject is, that the
fence shall be ''of sufficient height and
strength, and in every respect such as a
good husbandman ought to keep"
Remember this and you know it all. If
your fences wont stand this test, and your
neighbors cattle break over them, drive
them out carefully, say nothing about it,
utput up the fence and apply stakes and
riders.

pockets, the subscriber will devote his undivided
attention (and it will be his aim to arrive as near
perfection as possible)to the business of shaving
their faces, shampooning their heads, and cut

fashions. Having had many years experience in
the business. and being actuated by desire to
please he fatters himself that those who give him
call will go away perfectly satisfied.
Particular attention will be paid to cutting hair
and shampooning.
HewouId respectfully say to his patrons whom
he is in the habit of shaving regularly, that il
they could make it convenient he would like to
have them call and get shaved on Saturday eve
ming instead of Sunday morning, or if on Sun
day morning, early as possible.
