CAUTION TO PHYsIcIANs.-The other
day we had slight attack Of cholera, bron-
chitis, brain fever, or something of the kind,
and had the weakness to send for doctor,
who, ON his side, has the weakness to be a

physician, as be entered hot from the card

WE'LL SAID.-The Burr Oak, published
in Dodge County and edited by one Of the
Pierce Electors for this State, takesmanly
ground against the Nebraska Iniquity. In
a recent article, replying to the structures
Of some Doughface correspondent the Burr
Oak talks in this plain fashion:
We have no patience to talk about this
new tangled doctrine of non-intervention.
For an American Congress in this age
of the world, to say by legal enactment
that it is Republican and right to allow
one part of mankind to enslave another
lpart, if they will vote to dos is unnatural,
Iunchistian, immoral and barbarous. With
lin the states, slavery exists by local laws
and Congress cannot constitutional
Ily interfere with it there. But it is the
solemn duty of Congress to. prevent its
spread into Territories. It's duty because
lit is the preventative Of christian people
and Republican government. Slavery is
neither christian nor republican.
We do not advocate needless agitation.
slavery cannot spread in the Union but
|by the aid Of northern votes in Congress.
So far as il is necessary 10 ogitafe, to pre-
vent that spead, we would agtate:@

MYSTERIOUS REMAMs.-A few days a.
go, while number of worknaen we're en-
gagged in digging vault in Baltimore, one
of them struck his pick upon hard sub
stance several feet below the surface of the
earth. Upon removing, tie dirt and in
specting the object, it was found 70 be a
piece of plank ingenuously painted On one
side to resemble hickory wood, and on the
other in imitation of granite. It did net
Iseein to have been buried more than sAsts
weeks, yet it was found to be quite rotten.
Traces Of obliterated characters were dis
covered on the hickory side, but It was i'm
possible to make them out. On the gra-
mite side which had new appearance
these words were visible under strong
light:
"Resolved, That he deaioeratic party
will resist all attempts atralewing, in Con-
gress or out of it, the agitation Of the sla-
very question, under whatever shape or CO
lor that attempt may be made"
The mysterious relic was handed over to
Ia distinguished antiquarian, who took it to
Washington and placed it in the Patent
Office. Since then it has been visited and
examined by President Pierce, Senator
Douglas and all the heads of departments,
except, perhaps, the Secretary Of State

of its origin, or how it came to be run in

Donald Mckay, esq, the well known
Eship builder at East Boston, is about to

THE VERDrcT.-The jury, in their YER

the Directors of the company should be
held amemable to the grand jury.
John Randolph once said, he
expected to live to the time when slaves
in Virginia would advertise for runaway
masters-as it takes all the hogs to feed the
negroes, and there was nothing left the

We can not guard too much against
indulging in thoughts and actions
which trivial as they may at first appear,
would give a cast to our whole charac-
ter, should they become settled habits.
Money is very good servant, but
a bad master. 1t may be accused of in

THE ANCIENT Goc.-There was an an
Gent Bralimin legend that there was in
the world before the food, rnonstrous
giant called Cog; and when the waters
were encompassing the ark, he shided O.
yer to Noah, avoiding the deep holes and
keeping himself as dry as he could, and
asked Noah to take him in. "Oh, no."
said Noah, II daren't take you in; you're
a dangerous fellow; you'd cause trouble in
my ships" and he shut down the scuttle.-
$50 to thunder" said Cog, 0but I'll ride,
after all" and he Immediately put fol- the
ark and got astride on it, with his right
leg ON the starboard and his left on the
larboard side, and so he steered her which
way he pleased, and did cause great trou-
BE within.

| On the day succeeding his visit to Frau

the sinister predictions of the Bishop Of

| Rheticus left the sentence unfinished,

ger made his appearance, and he, too, was
the bearer of evil tidings: "a compost

owing to the Immense emigration into
tins section of the State, during the pre-
sent season, many have been of the opin-
ION that room was left but for few more.
This is mistake.
The Mineral Point Land District com
prises all of La Fayette, Grant and Iowa
Counties, and part of Green, Dane, Co
lunbia, Marquette, Adams, Sank, Rich
land and Crawford Counties. This dis
trlet contains l62 Townships making s.
732,4S0 acres, which are valued Govern
ment priee) at $4,665,6O0-$l, So per a.
ere. BY a careful examination of the
books at the Land Office, we find that on
ly about one half of the land has been en-
tered: leaving about 1,S66,240 acres vet
for sale, which comprise as good timber
and prairie land as can be found In the
country. The District is bordered on the
west by the Mississippi river, with the
Wisconsin running nearly through its cen
tire.
The following railroads, now IN progress
and soon to be completed, enter the Dis
trict: Milwaukee and La Crosse, Milwau-
ke and Mississippi, Southern Wisconsin,
Mineral Point, Calamine and Mississippi,
Dodgeville and Potosi.
Within the District is Madison, the cap
ital OF the State, with population Of over
5000; Portage City with a population Of
about 1000, Mineral Point, with nearly
the same number, Shullsburgh, Monroe,
Platteville, Prairie du Chen, Darlington,
Cassville, Lancaster, Baraboo, Dodgeville,
Franklin and Others, with population va
rying from 1000 to 1000.
Thus it will be seen that there is vet
le'sty of room left in a mining, agricultu-
g furnishing country Mineral Poifit
