Painted Pals Poisonous.

One of Tie Oldest physicians in
Montgomery, says that the following
notice should be kept before the
people. A painted bucket and tin
dipper are sufficient to poison aslaOc-
lcasin:
l would desire to direct the ailen-
ton Of the readers Of tie OtseyJer
to the danger Of using the pails, which
are painted inside, for domestic pur--
poses. The oxide Of lead With which
they are painted, is q dangerous poi
son, and | know It IS productive of
evil in many cases. Last week, haV
ing taken drink Of water from a
painted pail which had been in use
for some menths, l was Convinced
from the taste of the water thatis
had taken up a portion Of the paiat,
and having analysed the water, |
found it to contain a very minute
quantity of it; sufficient, however, if
a large quantity of the water was Ia
ken, to produce those fearful disea-
ses peculiar to lead poisonings.
The Farmer s. Planter says that
the paints from the inside of buck
ct may be removed, by filling it With
strong ley from wood ashes, letting
it set one night. when all may be
washed out.

The night came on alone,
The little stars sat one by one,
Each on his golden throne;
The evening air passed. BY my check
The leave above we're stirred,
But the bea ting Of my own heart

Fast silent ears were flowing,

But the beating Of our own hearts
Was all the sound l heard. b

RAILROAD SPEED. The WaukeshEs
(Wis) Democrat has rich editorial
about the.s need Qna certain Western
Railroad, Of which the following is
the closing paragraph:
travellers of leisure, however, sat
they like this road much better that
any other in the county, it Is So
much like The Erie Canals they car
jump off to- pick strawberries, shoot
pigeons, liquor up, etc, and OCCASION
ally return to sit on the cars to rest
Last week We conversea with sal-
mer on the line Of the road, who hap
pened to have three sheep killed on
the road. He informed US that he
had spent ten days in vain in endeav-
oring TO find out who owned the road
that he might sue for damages; he
then CONSULTED an attorney, who IN
formed him that he could not prove
that the cars ran fast enough to over
take sheep or any thing else. A
horse thief who was arrested in FonI
du Lac, a short time since, upon be-
ing informed that he was sentenced
to the State Prison, replied that he
did not care if they sent hin by a rail-
Foad,as bis time would expire before be

RUssIAN CLERGYMEN.-T The lower
orders Of the Russian clergy must BE-
rather hard set, if all accounts be
true, and have much need Of the spir-
Iitual advisings of Father Mathew.
The Pays tells story Of a Russian
traveller, who, while passing through
a vill4ge, saw crowd of peasants
rolling a reverend gentleman into Il
barn, and barring the doors after him
On inqniring the cause, oae of them.
said: ''Oh! it's only the priest shofu
we are locking up in the stablel2--
And why do you serve him in that
way?' because it is Saturday. p
HAnd why on this particular day2p
''Becanse he is a drunkard, and we
always lock him up on a Saturday
in order that he may be able to per-
form divine service on Sunday. On
Monday he can begin his spree again,
and keep it up through the week. ?
Fair drinking men are the Russian
priests.
