cra charming little girls, with bright eyes and rosy
Checks against the condemnation of the practice OF
lie girls Hing hoops,whch lately appeared in our
local columns We quite agree with the little ladies'
in the opinion that the practice aforesaid is very
le.;lthful, agreeable and proper one; particularly
20 for children shut up among the brick walls OF
ciaies and with few opportunities of fresh air and
exercise. Let them go ahead, and roll their hoops
thcn and be light of heart and light of foot while
they may. Our local editor, who is very indul-
gent and kindhearted gentleman, will, we are sure,
sympathise with the hoop movement 1--WE don't
mean the big hoop of the young LADIES' when he
discovers how much the hearts of the little folks
pleased and their frames invigorated by this nno

The Mous. of Representatives.

The sectional struggle in which the House OF
Representatives has been engaged since the com
mencement of the session is of evil omen TO the
harmony and perpetui;y of the Union. If this is
a specimen of the spirit which is to control the
legislation of the country, Congress may DO looked
upon as magazine. filed with explosive and de.
structve materials, perilous in the extreme to the
public peace and welfare. Should the sectional
divisions in Congress be followed by sectional par
ties throughout the country, and sectional nomina
lions be made for the Presidency, we may regard
