Rock Rose.

The following is an extract from note
found on the title page of a work published
by d. A. Tyler, NJ. ID. of New Haven Conn,
on the efficacy of Rock Rose. These pages
were penned without any expectation of
their ever being presented to the public,
since which time the plants (the Rock Rose)
under consideration, have been more fully
tested, their virtues developed and their
character more fully established. They are
published by and with the appreciation of
several medical friends The object of this
dissertation is, to lay before the members of
the profession and the public, the vii tues of
a plant too much neglected, which undoubt-
edly, as an older member of the profession
once remarked to me, possessed far more al
terative powers than the popular Sarsapa-
rilla. ask for this plant an impartial
trial

Har An American traveller in Eng.

Ha- An American traveller in Eng
land, sets it down as one of "the sights"
of that country, that he actually saw
such ladies with soles-WhOle soles soles
such as are .oles! 81 saw one," says
the astonshed traveller, who had sole
between herself and the ground which
was actually half an inch thick 1t
was rainy day, and she (in her good
sense) had provided for it," Well, the
E'.glish are an odd people, and perhaps
their women do wear shoes with soles
half an inch thick but a traveller who
has any regard for his own reputation
had better not report such stories to our
American ladies. THEY certainly will
not credit the statement that English
ladies wear such vulgar things, even
when the streets are ankle deep with
mud, snow, or slush. Cold, aches, con-
sumption, death itself, could not force
them to adopt such ridiculous fashion.
The right to wear stout, water
proof boots is indeed, male perog-
ative, which the boldest champion Of
wcman's rights has not yet invaded, SO
far as our information extends.

RULES FOR HONE EDUcATroN.--The
following are worthy Of being printed in
letters of gold, and being placed in a
CONSPICUOUS position i'll every house
hold.
|. From every child's earliest infancy
YOU must inculcate the necessity of in
slant obedience.
2. Unite frmness with gentleness
Let your children always understand
that you mean exactly what you say.
5. Never promise them anything, un-
less you are sure that you can give them
what you promise.
4 If you tell child to do something,
show him how to do it, and see that it
is done.
5. Always punish your children for
wilfully disobeying you, but never pun
ish in anger.
g. Never let them perceive that they
can vex you or make you lose your self
command.
7. If they give way to petulance and
temper, wait till they are calm, and then
gently reason with them on the impro-
priety of their conduct
s. Remember that a little present
punishment, when the occasion arises
is more etfectual than the threatening OF
greater punishment, should the fault
be renewed.
9. Never give your children anything
because they cry for it.
10 On no account allow them to dc
at one time what you have forbidden
under the like circumstances, at another
IL. Teach them that the only sure
and easy way to appear good, is to b'
good.
IL. Accustom them to make thei
recitals with perfect truth
l3. Never allow of tale-bearing.

s@- We have before said our say on
the subject Of course Of lectures in
this village for the ensuing winter, and
of course it is unnecessary for us to say
more than few words at present. We
would direct the attention of the reader
to " Another Call" in its appropriate
place, for meeting to be held on Sat-
urday evening next for the purpose of
taking this matter into consideration
We notice by our exchanges that in
many places their course for the season
has commenced and, Of course, unless
we bestir ourselves soon we shall either
come out where we did last winter or no
where at all. We should suppose that
the lesson of last winter would be quite
sufficient to cure US of diatoriness in
this matter. And as to being without
them, we do not think it at all judicious !;
for it is entirely out of the question to
think that this community, especially
the younger portion of it, will allow
the long winter evenings to pass without
recreation of some kind, and unless they
can have that which is intellectual in its
character they will have that which is
otherwise.

A WHOLESALE BUsINEss.-Some Of
the Judges in New York arc fairly in
for it. Judge Beebe leads the van.
On Tuesday of last week, at the Court
of Sessions, about three hundred persons
were fined for having been convicted Of
selling intoxicating liquor without a
license. 1t seems the offenders had
previously been classified and arranged
in patches, indicating the several grades
of misdemeanor. His Honor, upon
taking his seat beside the Recorder,
made few general remarks, and then
calling them up squad by squad, read
off their sentence. The fines varied
from ten to fifty dollars; Imprisonment
in the Pcnitentiary from ten days to
two months being added in several
cases. The Judge in passing the sem
tence, warned them against any repeti
ton of the offence, intimating quite
pointedly that the consequences might
in such case be still more disagreeable.
Public sentiment appears to welcome
this rigid enforcement Of the law, as a
step in the right direction.

A Card.

The subscribers, appointed by the citizens
of the Village of Westerly, in December last,
to procure series of lectures and to raise
the necessary funds to defray the expense of
the same, are happy to say that, consider
ing the lateness of the season when their
attention was called to the subject, they
were enabled to procure series of ten lec-
lures which they fatter themselves gave
general satisfaction, and that they have
now in hand some twenty dollars which they
would be happy to have expended in procur-
ing lectures for the coming winter. They
would, therefore, respectfully invite meet
ing of the citizens Of this Village and vicin-
ity to meet at the Union Meeting House, on
Saturday evening, Goth inst, to make the
necessary arrangements to procure a course
of lectures to be delivered before the citi.
zens of this place the coming winter.

In resigning my post as co.editor and
publisher Of the " Echo" custom would
seem to demand formal leave taking
and farewell to its numerous readers and
patrons. Three years have nearly passed
since the wishes of the citizens of Wes-
terly received their first faint " Echo"
from a press in their midst. Twas
then mere experiment. Faint hopes
and trembling anticipations for the future
were INDUCED in, but with the future
came strength, and as our prospects
have frightened, our little sheet has
grown and strengthened, till now it looks
back upon its primitive days as the man
Of mature years remembers his child
hood--a time when he was smaller than
now, and long, shadowy, unfathoma-
bic future was open before him, bright
ened only ty hopes often foundlcss, and
rarely ever realized.
But the Echo is no longer an ex-
pertinent. 1t has become a necessity to
the well-being of our village The
tradesman would no longer think of
depending upon the "good old way" of
never advertising; purchasers would no
longer be willing to run from store to
store to find articles of every day use /;
and the reading community would not
now be content to look to distant cities
for all their home reading, or depend on
chance hearsay for local news.
The prospect for the future is now
brighter than it was at the commence
ment of my editorial career, though even
now, a shadowy cloud of doubt fingers
around and bedims the star of hope.
Yet l have no complaints to make
Though the feeblest anticipations o
profit have not been realized, as yet
still that is not chargable upon thos'
who have aided the enterprise, anc
let it rest among things gone by, trust
ing the future may bring forth more
plentifully. .. ... .
There are many pleasant reminis
ccnces connected with my short sditoria
career which will ever be remembered
many tokens of sympathy and good vii
which will long be cherished when the
petty troubles and annoyances which
have fallen to my share shall have passed
to oblivion.
To those who have extended aid anc
comfort in the trials always incident t.
a new enterprise, return my sincere
thanks, hoping they may ever receive
the reward of good deeds done. 1t i
with much regret and sorrowful hear
that l leave the place so long hav'
been accustomed to fill, but circum
stances would seem to make it necessary
Mr.. Hoyt, who takes my place, ha
been connected with the paper nearl

to industry and enterprise commen
