A visitor going into a free school in New
England, during the halfyenry examination
noticed two fine looking boys, one Of whom
had taken the first prize, and the other the
second. "Those are two fine looking fel'
lows" he said 10 the teacher, Il suppose
they belong to the higher class of society !,
THAT is not the way we class our boys,
the teacher said; awe follow the old maxim
of handsome is that handsome does. The
boy who took the first prize is the son OF
the man who saws my wood, the one who
took the second prize is the son OF the Vice
President ofthe United States"

Quite panic is prevailing at present
with regard to banks, and no man feels Sc
cure 90 long as he has dollar of paper
money on. hand. What is to be the result
Of the whole matter it is impossible to pre-
dict, but with regard to the Indiana banks
it seems TO be the general impression, that
secured as they are by State Stocks, no one
isjustifed in disposing of them at discount.
If Indiana banks are not good those of Hi
nois are no better as they are secured in
the same manner.

p,tysamy AT SALT LAKE.-ln the Cieve-
land plaindealer of late date is letter
from, a Married Elder, OF Salt Lake City
in response to some queries, concerning
polygamy, by the editor Of the paper above
referred to. A queer production is this let
ter, a. few quo,otons Will sho"
AS TO myself, Ihave as yet married but
two. This is small beginning, but the day
of small things must-hot be despised. You
may believe, however, having myself but
two wives, while the majority around me
have more. that feel somewhat slim, bu,
wait awhile. Your women worshippers' IN
the State, (of sin and misery,) as YOU well
remark. trow. would scarcely be willing
even if they had the priviiege-to choose
.wife No. 3.''who should share their hus-
bands time. affections, &c. But here II of
ten happens that women court tor their hus-
bands-and you know they understand the
art and of course are very successful. 81
all the men have 10 do is to invent means
of supporting them.
Wca, do you think Our young ladies'
accomplished and beautiful, often choose
man with ten, or twenty or forty wives, IN
preference to an attractive young gentleman
who has not one--thus showing their taste
and regard for age and experience, fone
of your most polite. fashionable and fascina-
ting Young gentleman should come here
he would find il very difficult to get wife ;
and If lie succeeded at all, she would probab-
ly be one whom our grey headed and infirm
old men would probably refuse.
With regard to President Brigham Young,
he governs his family, numerous though it
be, in manner worthy of imitation, and is
our "moda man. in this as in all other re-
spects and would that the whole world
would receive him as their model and fol-
low his example and counsel. His wives
like other women, dress according to their
own taste-"bloomer' ii they please and
every one is respected according to her in
tegrity and virtue, without hypocrisy or
partiality However, partaking of this spir-
it, President Young's wives are worthy ex-
ampes to their sex throughout Chrstendom
for purity and intelligence.
The author Of these cool specimens signs
himself "James Mcknight" who rejoicesI
in being an elder of the church, the posses
or of two wives and with the hope of more,
and also in having escaped from the land
Of bigotry and sin to that embraced in the
basin Of the Salt Lake.

Death Of tn, Catholic Priest who was Tarred ant

The new York Times, Of Friday last,
says:
We last evening received information Of
the death of the Catholic priest, Rev. John
B sset an Italian, who was tarred and I, nth
cred, and ridden ON rail at Ellsworth, Me,
on Saturday night, while on visit to that
place. The only excuse yet offered IN pal
liation Of the atrocious conduct of the mob,
is, that formerly, when pastor in Ellsworth
he engaged in a controversy on the school
question. Admitting that the priest could
have been guilty OF any misconduct suii'
GENTLY vile to admit Of any popular violence
his participation in discus sion of an open
question was certainly not of such chara-
ter. The attack upon him for the cause
gwen, is a disgrace to the town, which car
only can be removed by earnest aud ener
gctic efforts on the part of the respectable
citizens Of Ellsworth, to bring the perpctra
tors of the outrage to the scverest punish
mcnt prescribed by law for the crime they
have committed.

INSANE AsYLUMs.-If the character of the
public institutions of a country are fair
criterion by which to Judge of the civliza-
ton of its people, the United States GER
tainly occupies high position in the scale
ofnations. In the Boston Medical and Sovgi-
cal journal oflast week, DIR. George S. Jones,
member of the Common Council of this city
and one of the editors of that publication,
gives an interesting description of the char
acter sud appearance of the seven or eight
lunatic asylums which came under his obser-
walton during his recent tour as a member
of the twisting committee appointed by the
Council All Of the institutions which that
committee visited, and particularly the public
ones, both for paupers and for the higher
classes of society, seemed to be conducted i'll
an admirable manner. The finest hospital
in every respect, which he saw during his
tour, was the Pennsylvania hospital for the
insane, located in West Philadelphia and
he says it may be justly called the model
hospital Of this country, if not of the world.
The building is furnished like fashionable
hotel. 1t has for the use of its patients,
museums, reading rooms for both sexes, and
libraries in every ward. Paintings rich en-
cravings and statuary adorn the walls and
inches, and the lecture room is fitted up
with all the paraphernalia needful to render
the evening entertainments instructive and
interesting The hospital is freely ventilated,
lighted and warmed. The pleasure grounds
are laid out with taste, and patients are
permitted to have free access to them. But
one excited patient who required to be con-
fined in a room, was observed during the
visit of the committee, and she was instant
ly appeased by few words from DR.. Kirk
bride, the Superintendent.
Mr.. Jones says the National Hospital for
the Insane, now being erected by the National
Government in the city of Washington, will
be, when completed, one of the finest struc-
lures ever erected for such a purpose. Its ex-
IRENE length will be 725 feet, and its height
will vary from two to four stories. All thu
apartments and corridors are finished in
handsome and substantial manner, and will
different kinds of wood-the walls of on
room being oak, the next black walnut,
third ash, &c. The stories are high studded,
and no expense has been spared to procure
perfect system of light, warmth, and ventila-
ton. The rooms are arranged in a manner
best adapted to the objects in view, and al
though everything is made perfectly secure,
the house bears no appearance of being place
of detention. The building is beautifully 10
Gated, commanding fine view of both of thu
great rivers which flow past it, and is to b.
surrounded by garden or pleasure ground OF
100 acres in extent. The establishment will
cost, when completed, $3.50, O00.-BoSton
