~ The following was sent US by several
ladies', in justice TO the person interested, and
without his knowledge. The names of these
ladies are subject to order.
Mr.. SASDERs,-Sir: We noticed an ar
ticle in Friday evenings Pocket, ACCUSE ng
the gentleman in wedding boots Of ungentle-
manly conduct, and published at the req uest
'of several ladies. We feel it is our duty, in
consideration of this gentleman's kindness
in helping to extricate US from our difficulty,
to say, that whoever those ladies' may have
been, we beg leave to inform you they are la
boring under gross mistake. On the con-
trary, his conduct was that Of a perfect
gentleman, and if any insult was given, it
was on the part of another person.
By publishing the above you will confer a
great favor upon all the ladies who were in
the carriage at the time.

o. AT half-past one O'Clock, all being ar
ranged the oath of office was administered
to Gen. Pierce by the Chief Justice, as fol-
lows:,
81 do solemnly affirm that will faithfully
execute the office of President of the United
States, and will, to the best of my ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution
of the United States.''
1t will be remarked that Gen. Pierce. in
taking the oath, did not, as has been ordina-
rily the custom, say 81 solemly swear but 1
solemnly affirm; but instead of kissing the
book in Southern fashion, he raised his right
hanS and held it aloft until the pledge was
read. The whole OF the ceremony was adj
mrably carried OUT Albany Argus.
Why Gen. Pierce should decline following
the presidents of Washington, Jefferson, and
OF every other of the really great men who
have been principal parties to the same cere-
monies, we cannot imagine. Certainly, he is
not individually so important parsonage,
whatever he may be officially, as to be per-
mitted to despise or openly rebuke the course
OF his great predecessors in this particular
What right had he to affirm instead of swe ar!
hO COuotllutiOu Oh ILLS matter Oh taxing
oath, is like our laws for taking oaths on
smaller matters. Unless religiously opposed
to swearing in this manner, and Quakers are
the only sect thus opposed, the constitution
and laws require that he should swear. He
will commit no perjury if he break this "oath
of Office" simply because he has taken no
oath, and the affirmation is only intended for
any Quaker who might be SO lucky as to be
elected President. We regard the whole
proceeding, as afectation on the part Of Pierce.
or else that he was SO excited by the novelty of
the position, SO utterly unexpected a few
months before as one ever to be occupied by
SO humble an individual as himself, that be
did not know what he was doing This might
have been admirably carrying out the cere-
mony, but proper appreciation of his posi-
ton, and the unworthiness of himself to &C.
cupy the place filled by the great men of past
times. might very well have excused his inno-
vations upon old usages.

,Co,vn.bip Trustees.

By far the most important officers to choose
at the April election, so far as the interests
entrusted to their hands are concerned, will
be Township Trustees. The new law pro-
vides for the election of three from each
township. The duties imposed upon these
officers are so numerous and important, that
every citizen must feel the necessity of elect
ing the very best men in the respective town
shipsto act as Trustees. These Trustees are
to be overseers of the poor, fence viewers,
and judges of elections. They will have the
care and superintendent of the highways
and bridges in their respective townships.
1t will be their duty to divide the township
into road districts-to appoint viewers to sur
vey, lay open new roads, and change and al
ter old ones in their township-to fill all va
cancies that may occur in the Office of super
visor-to determine the amount of tax to be
assessed for road purposes, and to see the
proper application thereof, and direct the
same-to take care of and manage all the
property Of the townships-to superintend all
Ire pecuniary concerns of the township, and
annually to determine on the amount of tax
that shall be assessed for township purposes
Ito settle with and audit the accounts OF the
treasurers and supervisors of roads in their
townships. They are constituted school trus-
tees AS such it will be their duty to take
charge of the educational affairs of the town.
ships-employ teachers, visit schools, estab-
lish and locate schools, take charge of all
school-houses, make contracts for the build
ing and repair thereof, and take an enumera-
ton Of the children within their township.
Certainly the persons who are to fulfil all
these duties, should be chosen irrespective OF
every other consideration but capability, in
dustry and honest worth

Brouna and Cocoa.

Every body in this country, of course, il
quitefamiliar with those two excellent'articles
of diet for invalids, brou,a and cocoa, manu-
featured by Walter Baker g. Co., of Dor
chester, Mass. Some years since the special
consideration Of medical practitioners was
called to these preparations, as appropriate
food for the sick, in the various conditions of
debility and porstration to which they are at
times reduced, leaving the digestive apparatus
too feeble to appropriate any but the most
delicate nutriment. Medical gentlemen of
|eminence in this city were delighted with
Mr.. Bakers broma; and from that period TO
this, its good character has been sustained.
Another set of physicians have commenced
business since that period, who may not have
become familiar with the article; and we
therefore refer again to the subject for the
purpose Of reminding both our young medical
friends at home and those abroad, that they
will derive important advantages from the
use OF this admirable kind Of food. Drug
gists in the interior would find their account
in alwaya keeping both on hand, with q
view to meeting the prescriptions of medical
attendants. From our own personal ex-
perience of the value of broma particularly
we can speak decidedly in its favor. A die
tetic course is not unfrequently quite as
necessary as strict medication; and in re-
covering from a low state, it is one of the
perplexities of a general practitioners life. tc
