@r DR. Mott has a theory that the
fever which has been so destructive at
Norfolk and Portsmouth this year, is
gradually travelling from the South to
the North, as it commenced in Rio Ja-
neiro, and has reached in successive
years, New Orleans, Savannah, and now
Virginia. The idea is also held by some
that the plague is caused by auimalcule,
in proof of which reference is made to
the curious appearance of the plague fly
1t is a fact established beyond contradic-
ton, that after the plague had culm'na-
ted 10 Portsmouth, this curious fly ap-
peared. 1t was between the size of a
mosquito and an ordinary fly, and chang
ed its color from red to yellow.

sdy for Dropsy Charles Hutchinson,
of Burlington, Vermont, was for fifteen
months sad victim to this complaint;
so bad was he one part Of the time, that
the water actually oozed through tho
pores Of the skin, and thrice per day
change of apparel became necessary
Every time his doctor called he expect
ed to lind him dead, and in fact gave
his friends no hopes of his recovery -
his sister who had derived great benefit
by the use of Holloway's Pills, begged
him, as a favor to her, to try them ;
fortunately for him he did not refuse,
and they soon produced change for
better in four weeks he was again at
tending to business, bavin. thoroughly
got rid OF the disorder, and in the most
excellent health and spirits These

censure upon the military, that France
would one day regret an act Of leniepcy
to. those who were bidding defiance to
the law; that if riots were not put down
now they soon could not be. Without
fully endorsing resort to so severe a
measure as that, We must admit that the
principle is true one. All insubordi-
nation and tendency to subvcrt whole
some law, should be nipped in the bud,
or the time will almost infalibly come
when the sad effects of mistaken mer-
cy will show itself, as it did in the case
above cited. 1t was but short time
before France saw her throne trampled
upon 10y blood thirsty mob The sim.
pie TACT is, that every such act of lenien.
cy towards those who set law at defiance
is placing apremium upon crime Ans
those who now limit themselves to petty
acts of mischief or personal annoyance
will soon become embo!dened to COMM,
worse deeds. 49,.

is one means to check .tbis growing evil
But this cannot upEOSss'lt; there is

They are those whose parents are sin.
nsrs-crininally negligent in the dis.
charge OF one of the most important du.
ties required Of them. They are those
who are permitted, from childhood up
to set at nought parental rcproof, anc
who stand not in fear of the rod of cor.
rectlon. They are, in short, thos.
whose parents "spare the rod and spoi
the child" And we are sorry that
truth compels us to admit that these
parents are oftentimes numbered amona
those who profess to take the Word Of
God as their rule Of life in all hinys.--
Yes, to their shame be it said, it is of.
ten the case that the ringleaders and
the most defant>of these juvenile pests
to respectable citizens, claim as their
parents those who hold high stations in
the church. Such parents must be wo-
fully ignorant or crminally deficient in
discharging the high responsibilities
which beneacent God has placed upon
