Is the great curse of our Northern ATTITUDES. II is
the blight Of domestic felicity and the despoiler OF
beauty. II robs the cheek of its heaIthfui bloom
the mind of its serenity and the eye Of It's brllian-
cy. 1t wastes the form, dims the intellect. and
plunges its victim into an early grave. The young
and the old, the serious and the gay, the city
belle, the country lass, are alike its prey and lis
victims. Blessings on the man, then, whose
genius and research furnished US with weapons to
bid defiance 20 this s'Dweller of the Threshol d =,
He merits the applause and gratitude of ages.
The following certificate was handed US for
publication. In giving it place in our columns
we do no more than justice in saying that this is
but one of many similar testimonials of the good
qualities and healing power of this Basam.-yN

Tragical Scene.

and heart-rending scene. take the lib.
erty of sending you brief sketch. as re-
lated to me by my brother-in-law (who
resides in Waupacca Co., Wisconsin,

two previous to my leaving the State,

farmer sold yoke of oxen to an in
dividual in the neighborhood, and received
his pay in paper money. The man who
purchased the oxen, being in hurry to
start off, requested the farmer to assis,
him in yoking them up; he accordingly
went to the yard with the man for tha,
purpose-leaying the money lying on the
table. On his return to the house, he
found his little child had taken the money
from the table, and was in the act of kind
ling the fire in the stove with it. From
the impulse of the moment, he hit the
child slap on the side Of the head, so
hard as to knock it over; and in the fall it
struck its head against the corner Of the
stove, with such force as to break its skull.
The mother, who was in the act of wash.
ing small child in tub of water-in an
adjoining room--on hearing the fracas.
dropped the child. and ran to the room
whence the noise proceeded-and was so
much terrified at what she there beheld.
that she forgot the little child in the tub.
for time-and upon her return to the
room, found the little one drowned! The
husband alter few moments reviewing
the scene before him-without further re-.
iection, took down his gun and blew his
own brains out! C.. F.

TO TOWNSHIP ASSESSORS.

~ ~ " TtSSOhSs
Township Assessors are notified. that owing to
several important changes, now under CO nsider.
alton by the Legislature, IN the tax law of 1852
they cannot commence the duties of their Offices
until Monday the first of May
In a circular received from the Auditor of State
he says: "The Legislature has now under con.
sideration veral importrnt notifications of the
tax law of 1852, and it will be useless and i'm
proper for assessors to enter upon their duties
til it shall have been ascertained how far the as
sesment of the present year is to be effected by
chsnges in the law. As matter of course any
changes which shall be made, will require cores
ponding notifications of the forms and instruc-
tions prepared fol the use of assessors 1t is hard
iy necessary to add that these cannot be got ready
until the Legislature has finally acted the sub
ject. and this is not likely to be earlier than the
last week Of its session.
.'In view of these facts, beg leave to sugges.
to you the propriety of giving immediate notice
to the assessors of your county, that it will be
both impracticable and inexpedient TO commence
the assessment for the present year, until Monday.
the LIST day of May. and that it is desirable they
shall meet at your Office on the last Saturday Of
April. for the purpose of receiving your instruc-
tions and adopting common understanding of the
provisions aud requirements Of the law"
Township assessors are, therefore, requested
(without fail.) to meet at the Auditors office on
Saturday, the 29th of April, inst., at which time
their blanks and forms will be ready.
