AssAILrNa A DEAD MAN-Mr. Coggswel
n member of the Massachusetts, Legislature
from Bedford, recently in the House of Rep
rescntatives, delivered the following philippe
against one of the early inhabitants:
at is to me matter of deep regret that we
cannot have the advice of women in our
Legislative deliberations especially on sub
ject in which she Is so deeply interested
(tenperance.) Women has been constantly
wronged by man, and that wrong commenced
in Eden, where our grandfather Adam cast
the blame wholly upon Eve, instead Of bear
ing It himself like man. 'He evinced neither
honor nor gallantry in meanly screening him
self behind his wife, who was no more guilty
than he. always feel ashamed of my pedi-
gree, when think of the dastardy conduct
of Adam, in saying 'Tan't |, Lord, twas my
wife who did it, If Ewes mother had pos
sessed half the spunk of some of our Yankee
matrons, she would not have suffered her
injured daughter to have remained under the
roof Of the hsartless coward! Woman has
done much for me, and feel bound, in return,
to do something for her"

AMALGATroNIsTs FonED.-One Of the CO.
lored Professors in the McGrawville College,
Western New-York, Gan institution in which
both black and white persons are admitted
promisculously,) was roughly treated on Sa-
turday week, in the neighborhood of Fulton.
AS the story goes, the Professor was about to
be married to a young white lady, formerly a
pupil in the college, residing near Fulton
Some persons being informed of the intend
ed nuptas, resolved not only to put a stop to
the affair, but to castigate the offending lover.
They proceeded to the dwelling OF the girls
father, and broke into the house, but the OBJ
ject of their vengeance had escaped. The
father was entirely opposed to the match,
now that the 'samagamatiopn theory had
been bfoaght rene N ~
thing to dissuadc her from tse sfS} iis' s''is
was ineyorable till the offended populate
brought her to her senses.

EVERYTHING IN ITS TtKN.-As, in the sue
cession of the seasons, each, by the invara-
BILE laws of nature, effects the productions of
what is next in course; so, in human life, ev-
cry period of our age, according as it is well
or III spent, influence the happiness of that
which is to follow. Virtuous youth general
ly brings forward accomplished and flourish
ing manhood; and such manhood passes off
without uneasiness into respectable and tran
quill old age. When nature is turned out Of
Its regular course, disorder takes place in the
moral, just as the vegetable world. If the
spring put forth no blossoms, in Summer,
there will be no beauty, and in Autumn no
fruit, If youth be trtled away without i'm
provcment, manhood will be contemplate,
and old age miserable. If the beginnings Of
life have been vanity, It's latter end can be no
other than vexation of spirit.

editor of the Waterfeld Sentinel, was taken
at his offer a day or two since, he publishes
the following: |
We shall insert no marriage notice, unless

B. They write better compositions, using
better language, containing more thoughts,

How TO WEIGH LIVE ChrrLE.-This Il OF
the utmost utility to those who are not ex.
perienced judges by eye. BY the following
directions, the weight can be ascertained
within mere trifei
Take string and put It round the benst
stand square just behind the shoulder blade:
measure on foot rule the number of feet
and inches the animal is in circumference; this
is called the girth; then, with the string,
measure from the bone of the tail which
plumbs the line with the hinder part of the
buttock; direct the line along the back to the
shoulder blade; take the dimensions on foot,
then rule rs before, which is the length, and
work the figures in the following manner
Girth the bullock, 6 feet in; length 5 feet 8
inches; which multiplied together, make 81
square superficial feet, and that multiplied by
l3, (the number of pounds measures less than
5 in girth) make 7l3 pounds, Where the
animal measures less than s and more than 7
in girth, 81 is the number of pounds to each
superficial foot.
Again suppose pig or any small beast
should measure 2 feet in girth, and Q along
the back, which multiplied together, make
four square feet; that multiplied by IL, the
number of pounds allowed each square foot,
of cattle measuring less than 3 feet in girth,
makes A pounds. Again, suppose calf,
sheep, &c, should measure a feet inches in
girth, and feet inches in length, which
together, makes l5i square feet;
that multiplied by l6, the number of pounds
allowed to all cattle measuring less than 5
feet, and more than 3 in girth, makes 265
pounds. The dimensions of the girth and
length of horned cattle, sheep and calves, or
hogs, may be as exactly taken this way, MS it

country tavern, where were collected togeth-

the whip with all his might to drive the horse

A New Gun PATENT.-We were shown 10
day very ingenious constructed rifle, in
vented by Col. p. w. Porter, Of Tennessee,
which, to all appearance, is the most destruc-
tive weapon for its size which the ingenuity
of man has yet devised. lti provided with
a cylinder at the base of the barrel capable of
holding an indefinite number of charges, by
the aid ofwhich it may be practicable to make
sixty discharges minute. The patentcc
claims that, by the arrangement of his lock,
the power obtains more complete combustion
than in any other gun now in use, because
the ignition takes place teater the ball. The
lock opens on hinges as easily as the door Of
n closet so as to permit the freest success to
the cylinder and all the parts of the machine

pose 1t is self-capping and self printing, and

They sent her to stylish SCHOOL,
'Twas In her thirteenth June:
And with her, as the rules required,
"Two towels and spoon"

To make her straight and tall;
They lacsd her up, they starved her down,

They screwed it up with pins

RESULT OF CHEAP FAREs.-It is stated
that since the reduction of fare to Albany on
the Harlem road, the receipts for through
business have increased 80 per cent. This is
another practical demonstration, says the
Baltimore Sun, of what has been so often
asserted and proven, that low fares almost
invariably bring an increase Of revenue. Ma
ny railroad companies now charging exorbi-
tant rates, and doing little more than paying
current expenses, we have not doubt would
be astonished themselves at the increase of
their receipts, were %thcy to evince little
more of the spirit of the age, and reduce
their fares just one half.

"Some of our subscribers seem to think that

build it of wood, and have it adapted for a

SENATORIAL VACANCIES. s.-The Courier g.
Enquircr's Washington correspondent says:
"Twelve years ago, the Legislature of Ten
nessee allowed two years to pass without
any Senator from tha State in Congress, and
the Wing members informaly y requested Mr.
Clay to act as its representative. The Gov
crnor did not attempt to exercise the power
TO appoint. Two years ago Massachusetts
was represented by but one Senator from the
1st to the 18th of March, the Senate being
in session. North Carolina will be in the
same condition as Mississippi, the Legislature
having failed to choose in view of the APP
proaching retirement Of Mr.. Mangum."
And the same might be said of Maine and
Rhode Island, whose Legislatures in. their
disagreement, have, for aught we know to
the contrary, indefinitely postponed filling the
forthcoming vacancies in those Federal Rep

MARRiAGE.--Dr. Forbes Winslow, speak
ing of marriage says: "Nothing delights me
more than to enter the neat little tenement of
the young couple, who within perhaps two or
three years, without any resources but their
own knowledge of industry, have Joined
heart and hand, and engaged to share togeth-
er the responsibilities, duties, interests, trials,
and pleasures of life. The industrious wife
is cheerfully employing her own hands in do
mestic duties, putting her house in order, or
mending her husbands clothes, or preparing
the dinner, while, perhaps, the little darling
sits prattling on the floor, or lies sleeping in
the cradle, and everything seems preparing to
welcome the happiest of husbands, and the
best of fathers, when he shall come home
from his toll to enjoy the sweets of his little
paradise. This is the true domestic pleasure.
Health, contentment love, abundance, and
bright prospects, are all here. But it has come
prevalent sentiment, that man must ac-
quire his fortune before he marries, that
the wife must have no sympathy nor share
with him in the pursuit of it, in which most
pleasure consists; and the young married
people must set out with as large and expen-
sive an establishment rs is becoming those
who have been welded for twenty years.
This is very unhappy; it fills the community
with bachelors, who are waiting to make
their fortunes, endangering virtue and prompt
ing vice; it destroys the true economy and de-
sign of the domestic institution, and promotes
ineilciency among females, who are expect
ing to be taken up by fortune, and passive
ly sustained, without any care or concern on
their part, and thus many wife becomes, ns

level SAG 2-S yards to come to a stop, and
794 seconds Of time. A passenger train at
the rate of do miles the hour cannot be
brought up in less than 77g yards, but takes
rather less time, only COS seconds. Two

The other two agreed to murder him on
