NAMES OF NEWSPAPERS. The number OF
newspapers now printed in this country, (not
including monthly magazines) is according to a
statement of the Philadelphia Register, about
{, 800, and there is a remarkable sameness in
their names. The Inquirers, Advertisers, Tran
scripts, Mirrors, Advocates, Recorders, Chroni-
cles, Republicans, Wings, Palladiums, Tribunes,
Heralds, Patriots, Observers, Messengers, Jour-
nails, Couriers, Sentinels, Reporters, Registers,
Mercuries, Flags, and Banners constitute about
two-thirds Of the whole. Besides the above,
there are two hundred and sixty-seyen Demo-
Gratis, and one hundred and tWenty-nine Ga
zcttes
As an offset to this we may notice few of the
unique names, such MS the Pleasure Boat, Yam
kee Blade, Toledo Blade, Arena, Rough Notes,
Rough Hewer, Almighty Dollar, Old Oaken
Bucket, Locomotive, Screw Driver, Busy Mar
tina, Young America, Nonpariel, Straight For
ward, Sun Beam, Rainbow, Fact, Plaindealer
Acorn, The Wonder, Home of Mirth, Cataract,
Tempest, Old Settler, Uncle Toms Cabin, All
Sorts, David's Sling, Circumstance, Una, Lam
tern, Budget, Pick, Castigator, Yankee Notion,
Uncle Sam, Boston Notion Prairie Bird, Gem of
the Prairie Land, Rams Horn, Bugle, Chrome
the Golden Rule, Old Colony, Pine Knot, Whip
and Spur, Ink Fountain. Blue HENS Chicken,
Hornets Nest, Live Giraffe, Beobachter, Anzei-
ger, Kladderedatsch, and some jaw-breaking
Norwegian and German names which we do not
remember, some of them among our most able
and valuable papers.-N. 7. Euening Post.

De Morbo Indusii Capiatrorum.

This pestiferous disease, which we have
on several previous occasions alluded to, still
continues to rage most frightf,lly. Being I'M
acquainted with this rnalady in a learned sense,
we have hitherto spoken Of it only in common
terms But from its fearful ravages in this COM
munity, and the great fatality resulting there
FROM together with the inetficency of theraputic
agents, has induced US to investigate, and if pos
sble discover it's arcana, or rather its fons ct
o17go. With the kind assistance of one the heal
ING art-onc thoroughly versed in the scientific
nomenclature of every i'll to which flesh is heir,
we have succeeded beyond our most sanguine
expectations.
The caption of this ARTICLES the classic or sci
entifc cognomen of this hitherto undescribed dis
ease, and in Nosozogical Nethodus it belongs to
the order of Paralyticus, but is not noticed on
any of the tablets of dolorosi. SO far as the
profession of -EseuzapionH has determined on a
fixed treatment, we take pleasure in here no
ticing. F2abellum stands highest in the list of
curative and prophylactic remedial agents; but
the process is very fatiguing. Glacialistic po-
tations, with Hmonum succus stand next, while
the recumbent posture should by no means be
neglected. 80
The cause primary of this disease is ascer-
tanned to arise exclusively from large evolu-
ton of caloric, inducing sudo-erudium in such
profusion as to saturate the capishum, diluting
thereby and removing the omyfum upon which
the vitality of the capistua solely and mainly de-
pends. This malady luxuriates most, when the
thermometer stands highest, and on Terpsicho-
reatic occasions, then its fearful rayages are
dreadful-appaling! r."

THEFT BY CHLoRofoRn.- rascally theft BY
means Of chloroform was committed in the parish
Of Ascension 4 few days ago. A robber entered
the apartment Of Mr.. Saint-Amand, while he
was sleeping, and applied the anasthetic agent
to his nose, thus plunging him into complete
lethargy The keys we're then taken from his
pocket, his armoir opened, and number oi
valuables abstracted together with $3.50 in
money, The robber has not yet been discoy-
cred.

TELEeRApHIc IrEMs.-Advices from St. John,
New Brunswick, state that great excitement pre-
vailed in that city, owing to the efforts made by
the friends Of temperance and the authorities, to
enforce the Maine Liquor Law. A large build
ing in St. John, known as the Temperance Hall,
in which the Temperance Societies held their
meetings, was blown up by gunpowder.
The mackerei fisheries at Magdalen Island
prove an utter failure. The arming of fishing

JUVENILE BALL-The students Of the " "Guion

Terpsichorian festival at the Academy on the
evening Of the 4th inst. The affair was well
gotten up, and the occasion went off as merry
as marriage bell. We much like these re-
unions, as they stimulate the young, not only to
advance but to excel, in their different studies
In this respect we are what may be styled anti
prcsbyterianatic.

HIGHWAY OF THE OCEAN-An article in
Chambers Journal, entitled 'sSteam around the
Cape" contains the following explanatory re-
marks:
'Persons who do not pay special attention to
nautical matters are likely enough to suppose
that, considering the large number of vessels at
sea, the surface Of the great ocean must be
dotted over, almost in every part; with the sails
of the countless fleet. This, however, is not
the case; the ocean, like the land, has its fire.
quented highways and its wide regions of lone
illness. Ii an observer, furnished with forty
Herschel telescope power of vision could be
elevated to a height great enough to give him a
view of the whole Atlantic, he would be struck
by beholding hundreds of vessels following one
another upon certain lines along very irregular
course, while over very large portion of the
surface not single sail woald be visible.
'sThus he would see the ships which leave
this country for the Cape of India, pursue at
first southwesterly course until they reached
the neighborhood of Madeira, then keep more
directly to the south, at safe distance from the
African coast, until they crossed the line; then
stretch away again to the southwest, in the di-
rection of South America, till they gain the zone
of westerly winds; and finally making rather
sharp turn into those winds, go bowling along
before them to the eastward till they arrive at
the Cape, OF else, if so directed, pass to the
southwark of it. .-=-. 3
''On the return voyage a similar circuitous
route is pursued, although the courses are to
some extent reversed, the widest circuit, or de-
Walton from the direct line, being made in the
northern instead of the southern hemisphere.
In the extensive space on either side of these
frequented routes few vessels will be seen. Here
and there an African trader might occasionally
be perceived lodging from port to port; or a
SLAYER scudding swiftly across the ocean-pcr-
haps with royal cruiser following steadily upon
her track, like a fierce bloodhound in pursuit

its first organization, during which time it has
been under the supervision Of Rev. Mr. Harp;
but at present he has fifteen assistant teachers.
To this Sunday school there is attached library
Of three hundred volumes. A gentleman in the

with library case, and for the unpaid books ii
contains a collection was made on the occasion in
question, when very liberal amount was OBJ
tanned. Thanks are due Mr.. J. G. Ragan and

cooperation of MIR. Frzell will ever be remember
ed with feelings Of gratitude.

they are in reference to Mr.. Harp. He is to
remain but a few more months in our midst
nothing but a peculiar and by no means to be
expected course Of events, will render it con-
sistent for him to return to this field and the
thing to be most feared is, that We may not get
another in his stead SO admirably calculated to
carry out the "good work " which is now but
in embryo. Mr.. Harp has been Of incalculable
advantage to this community-he has been the
protector of moral revolution which will tell
when he is gathered to his fathers the ar
tillery Of his mind has been brought to bear
upon every obstacle that has presented itself to
oppose the object to be attained And has he
not been successful Thus far he has. Let

be green spot in the hearts Of his friends in
