The following resolution and the pre-
ceding speech sustaining it, which is SAID
TO have been delivered in Lumbervllle,
N. H., on the 9th inst. by Mr.. lothian
Pierce, are decidedly to the point The
parallel is worthy Of PIutarch although
not precisely in his style;
"An egg, fellow citizens, has been

small trouble and little expense The same
writer also says, that the number of mineral

two thousand. Their principal solid ingredients
are the sulphates of lime, magnesia aud soda, OK

gradients consist Of sulphurated hydrogen, car
