1--WE are surprised that the jealous oppo
neDts of Senator Douglas have shown them
selves so devoid Of .act, as to countenancc the
burning Of the Honorable Senator in etiigy, as
has been done in Boston, that paragon of pre-
cise and saihtlk Ike cities, and in various other
places. The notorety acquired and inevitable
sympathy resulting :from such abortive but
high handed efforts at insult, are very far from
prejudieial to the chances Of a political aspi.

that | could press The juice out, and rubbed
the warts with my hand and juice for about
ten minutes every day for a week. when the
warts began TO ge: loose. so that you could
pick them off quite easily. Before applying
the juice. rubbed the warts SO as to take all
off that could; the last time put on the juice

warts are all gone, and the place looks as if
none had ever been there.-N. 4. Farmer

character and composition of the men who form

laborer, the actor, the farmer the miner, and
the printer, furnish in nearly equal proper.
