WHAT IT CosTs.--lf the farmer knew that
every drink of bald face he swallows costs
several ears of corn; or the merchant that it
costs him half a pound Of sugar, he certainly
would cease to inbibe But some good hon.
est merchant is ready to say" oh a pound Of
sugar is nothing" We suppose not; but you
sometimes grumblc about being required to
give good weight. Yes, it is something, and
there is many poor man and woman in this
plentiful land of ours who would think it u
great deal. Liquor costs something-sure: !:
aud the money each one spends for it is start
ling, absolutely awful. Suppose man takes
one glass day at 5 cents Q lass, this in one
year would amount to SlS25. This would
buy 100 lbs. of bacon, or two bbls Of flour
or a new suit of clothes. But there arc thou
sands who drink double aud treble this amount.
And we do not think we over>tep the line Of
truth i'll saying many in this town drink enough
run to pay the rent of good house. Facts
are stubborn things. No matter by whom as
serted they are invncbc Selling liquor is q
money making business, and will be and is
shockngly expensive to the drnker. We real

WATER SpoUTs on TIE LAKE.-The Wayne
Democrat says, several of these phenomena
have recently been seen upon Lake Ontario,
two Of which were visible at Sodus Point.
They were dense conical,> shaped columns, and
formed continuous line from the earth to the
clouds. One Of them, the largest, which was
neatly thirty feet in diameter, was precipitated
against the bluffs, and broke with deafening
noise on the rocks below, causing so great Il
commotion OF the waters, that large quantities
Of logs and lumber were torn from their moor
ings and washed far out into the lake. The
smaller of the two pursued its terrific and on
ward course as far as the eye could reach fill
ing the beholder with wonder and establishment,
and awaking such a feeling of granduer and
sublimity that they stood almost mute and
statue.like, until the sound OF the gigantic col
umn of water died far away in the distance.
A portion Of the pier of the light house was
swept away by the elements, and considerable
damage done the light house. There was a
severe storm out upon the lake, and several
schooners, brigs, aud other lake crafts, came
seudding in under bare poles, seeking security
from the tempestuous pillows without, upoh
the now placid bosom Of the harbor.

If the national constitutional democrats of
the country could see, as we do, the evidences
ofsympathy and congeuialty exhibited by the
abolition papers for that party in New York
known as the "softs," we doubt not that they
would everywhere repudiate them Almost
everything written in their particularly
if written in Washington and in the South
is quoted and commended by these abolition
sheets. The removal of Judge Bronson by
Secretary Guthrie is a matter of rejoicing with
them. They evidently think that, whatever
the Secretary may have lost, they have gained
by that discredtable transaction.
This fact addresses itself with peculiar force
to the Democracy of the Southern States. We
do not envy that man his composure who can
unmoved contemplate such state of things.
Why do they approve the course Of the "softs?"
The answer is obvious. Because they are bone

A Curious FAcr.-1'he National MtelEgen-
Ger, in remarking on the fact of the gradual
change of the character of the U. S. Senate
from mere privy council of the President to
decided deliberative body, says that in the
first session of the first Congress, President
Washington came personally into the Senate
when they were engaged in Executive Session
and made his nominations, himself He took
the Vice Presidents seat, and frequently ad-
dressed the Senate on the Executive business
they had before the and often exercised all
influence and almost control, that would be
considered as highly improper in our day.
This practice however, did not long continue.

MELANCHOLY HoM1cIDE.--A man named
Clark was accidentally killed. a few days since,
in the lower part of Chesterfield District by
- Tedder, of this District The two went
out, very early in the morning to shoot wild
turkies, and having separated, Clark was, at
about the distance of a hundred yards from
Tcdder, crawling on his knees; Tedders at
tenlion was attracted by the agitation of the
bushes, and supposing it to be caused by tur.
kies, he discharged his rifle. On approaching
the object he fonnd that he had shot his unfor.
tunate comrade, who was MORALLY wounded
and soon expired. Clark was a worthy man
and has left large family and numerous friends
to deplorc his loss We understand that no
blame is attached to Tedder, by those who
have investigated the circumstances. But SINH
lar accidents are of such frequent occurrence,
that it is time to inquire whether they do not
involve cu pable negligence, and indifference to
to human lifc.-Drlington F1ng.

AMERICAN COMPETITION WITH ENGLAND
The London Examiner, speaking Of the growing
rivalry of the United States and England makes
the following admissions:
A writer to whose compilations the Times
gives space, and conspicuous position, has
taken more than one opportunity Of enlarging
upon a competition with which our merchants
are threatened in India and Asia, on the part
Of American traders. The ships of the United
States appear on the Medran coast, as well as
at Kutch, Muscat and other places, with vari.
Gus articles which they barter for the produce
Of those countries; the American commodities
being principally a coarse cotton fabric which
they call sheeting and dollars. The Ameri.
cans appear to enioya particular advantage
over our traders-that of conducting their bar
ter individually, in ships, which are indepen.
dent, floating, pushing shops, instead of work.
ing by routine through large establishments at
Bombay; and thus they not only save expense,
but in each particular transaction secure the
largest amount Of profit.
Another advantage they have, is expressed
by the political agent at Hutch, who says of
the sheeting that it finds acceptance among
the peop pie of the country, because it lasts longer
than the cloths imported from Bombay. This
indicates the true force Of the competition
which we have to dread from the United States
II America can cut US out in India, where we
occupy the entire country with our government
and commerce. the ridcule and the disgrace
would be greater than any which the most anti.
commercial country has incurred.
But there is something in this superiority of
tissue over the manufactures of England. The
comparison is not made for the first time nor
only in cotton sheeting 1t is reported from
the Hudson River Railway that British iron
rails become in a worse condition within twelve
months than American rails within number
of years. There may be exaggeration in this
but we have had complaints of our rails form
our own official and scientific Investigators
who have declared the bad make of our iron to
be frequent source Of accident At the last
meeting Of the Sheffield Cutters, the master
cutler declared that American cutters were cut.
ting them out in knives, knives of American
make being preferred to ours, because the ma.
terial does not give way under use as those of
Sheffield are sometimes found to do. In short.
notwithstanding the sharp practice and hasty
habits of America, they are, in some branches
of the trade earning the repute for sterling stuff
and make which used to he our own; and if
we suffer them to win that reputation from US
altogether, then indeed we shall have lost more
than iflndia were annexed tomorrow.
