not aware, that while they appear to benefit
the patient, they are actually laying the foun-

we ask the attention of all directly interested

The other day, a married man by the
name of Beach was cow-hided in Wash.
ingtOn city, by two ladies, sisters, with one
of whom he had attempted to be too fa-
miliar on previous evening. At the
time that this last circumstance took
place, the female who was insulted, and
who is very respectfully connected, told
the man, Beach, that be should catch it
before eight-and forty hours were over
The lady was as good as her word, for,
having hired hack, she proceeded with
another sister, both armed with cow hides,
to a spot, where, meeting with the man,
they dismounted, leaving the hack short
distance off, and inflicted upon him a
summary and well-merited punishment
After having given him a quantum suf.
they returned to the vehicle, and drove
off, before the people residing near, who
had hurried out on hearing his cries for
help, could come up. Beach was terribly
cut about the face and other parts of the
body and his appeals for mercy could be
heard a long distance.

The Nebraska Bill.

Every mail brings fresh evidences o.
the spread of great excitement on th'
subject of this ll-adyised measure. The
newspapers tcem with it. almost to th'
exclusion of everything else, and public
meetings, resolutions, &C., give token that
if the bill should become law, there vii
be grand renewal of the whole slavery
agitation. On this subject, the N. York
Courier and Enquirer lately remarked
with much truth, that the soundest con.
servative presses of the country arrayed
in opposition to the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and most Of the papers thus
referred to were the advocates and sup
porters of the Compromise measures of
1850. The Louisville, KY, Journal, one
of the ablest papers in. the slaves States,
thus concludes long article upon the
question:
"The prospects are that President
Pierce will force the Nebraska bill thro'
Congress at the end Of the party LASH
We foresee as its consequence not only
fierce and extended. agitation now, but
the absolute destruction of the confidence
of the North in the plighted faith of the
South, and the future impossibility of any
adjustment whatever. If the Missouri
compromise be broken, there is an end to
the era of compromises, The sword will
then be drawn and the scabbard thrown
away. The passage of Nebraska bill will
at once sweep away those great national
compacts which laid to rest the most ex-
citing questions in our history, and launch
the nation upon an interminable sea of
civil discord as dark and boundless and
unknown as the future itself Having, for
these reasons, entered an earnest protest
against it, we shall await the result with
deepest interest"

BOOK AND STATIONARY HOUSE
IN NEW YORK
ON THE CASH PLAN:
EXTENSIVE SALES AND NO LOSSES,
MIKE n profitable TO sell at Ueyu LOy Prices
FOR CASH ONLY.

The Amount of goods in our line purchased
by country merchants is usually quite small
compared with their dry goods, hardware, and
other bills, and this very circumstance abso-
lutely compels jobbers in the book business,
who sell on time, to get larger profits in Or
der to make up for the losses and extra ex-
penses necessarily involved in a credit busi-
ness of small amounts. 1t is also easy for the
merchant to make arrangements to buy his
book bill for cash though it might not be so
con Senient for him to purchase his larger bills
in this way.
These considerations have led us to adopt
in our business, from this date, January, 1854,
the following principles, viz. SMALL PROFITS,
UNvARYING PRICES AND TERMS ALWAYS CASH.
Being ourselves the sole publishers of a
number of the leading and most extensively
selling School Books in the country, as well
as works in other departments, our facilities
are unsurpassed.
Call upon US, or send an order, and Judge
for yourselves, if the saving you can make by
buying of us for cash is worth while.
Our location is very central, and easily
found. Stand on the Astor house steps, and
look straight forward across the corner of the

LAuNcn or THE LARGEST STEAMBOAT

from the yard Of her builder, Samuel
Sneden, Oh Thursday last, at 9 O'Clock.

rou'e, ana will run in connection with
the Bay Stale and Empire State. The
Metropolis Is the largcs steamboat ever
buit, being $50 feet long 45 feet beam
and 10 lrel hcld. She, unlike other
steamboats,, Is timbered up to the level
OF her state room floor, and thus Ia re-
aluy Is "a tee deep. No expense has
been spared to make her as strong as
wood aud iron can make her, Tor besides
being heavily tlmbered she has over so
tons Vi the best Ulster iron in the form
o. Diagonal iron bracing, similar to the
braciny put into the Collins steamers. -
TINS from bracing extends to the top ot
the tlnbers, and it is calculated will
give lar greater strength than the old
plan OF tho unsigh'ly aud clumsy lore
and all frames, termed hog frames
Her engine, which is TO be Iut IN by
the Novelty Iron Works is OF nearly
double the power Of any steam engine
now IN use. The cylinder Is 105 inches
diameter by IL feet stroke. The Metro
polls will measure about 2300 tons bur
den. She will take her place on the
Fall River line about the lsl Of August.
