Some rascals appear to be busy at
work sweating and boring coin. This
fraud may be defeate;o by every honest
person refusing to receive any piece of
coin so tampered with. If not refused
at once, the practice will become 50
general that in short time the banks
will reject them all such detaced pieces
and those who receive them will be

as well as within--the atmosphere was
dull and heavy, and the earth was
dull-even the daily papers-which
are the life and spirit of the times,
were dull. We looked over the For
eign exchanges, i'll the hope of finding
an item in reference to the Eastern.
or some other question, never pub
lished before; but in vain. In point
of fact, everything was dull, and moth
ing to relieve the monotony Of this
neighborhood but the crowlng--length-
ened and long drawn out, of Shang
hae cock on the other side of the walk,
who used his lungs as though calling
on Peter again to come up to
Judgment In the mood that such
state Of things naturally calls for, we
sat before the fire with legs elevated
at the fashionable angle endeavouring
to be "amuscd" with "Simms Revolu-
tionary Tales" but to no purpose
In fit of desperation we took up our
blotter, for the past season, and it
changed the current Of our thoughts
to melancholy "reminiscences. Here
and there, were black inarks--tlckets
of invitation to balls and burials Oh the
same page in one place, campaign
Funeral ode to "Know Nothingism,"
composed and sung by poor -
and on the very next page, a charge
against his estate for tickets inviting
his friends and acquaintance to at
tend bis own interment. In Ciceroean
language, may we not exclaim, O!
tempora, o! Moses,--such is life.
Eg- There is a dwelling house in
Troy, N. Y, which was built in 1852
and which is consequently, one hun
dred and three years old. Some Of
the out buildings for slaves are also
standing. There are many historical
"reminiscences connected with the VEN
cradle mansion. During the Revou-
tionary war, it was frequently the
headquarters Of Gen. Schuyler, and
Lafayette also made it his residence
on one s. two occasions. 1t was also
at one time, the home of a sister of
Benedict Arnold.
AS an offset to the fact so often used
on the stump that Benedict was a
native traitor; may we not bring the
circumstance of his sisters being a
native patriot-one who never done
anything to up-turn or betray tho
government. As woman is more i'm
portant in any consideration, than
man, this fact of Benedict's sister be- ri.
ing a true and loyal woman, to her
country and herself; should put at
end, the continual ding dong about
Arnold's being a traitor, Is not the
account balanced now? We hopnso;
and when we look about us, and see
the number Of living traitors, in ranks,
and all parties we really do think,
that those who are ever proclaiming
the fact, that Benedict was a trai-
tor should hold their peace. One
living traitor, who would sell the
country, just TO bare his arm once,
and thrust it into the public treasury
is capable of doing more injury, than
all the dead traitors that ever lived.

Our MlssloN.-Tho size Of The
Comet, gives US the right to look at
ter boa mots, and chaste things-such
as would damn larger sheet. IN
looking over The last number Of the
"North Louisiana (Democratic) Times
we find, that some new man has hold
Of the handle of that organ, who grinds
out, the following chaste thing:
We have this week, for the first
time in our events,l life. been called
to the Editorial chair; Mr.. Mason
having broken his hand over the head
of Know Nothing, We had sup
posed before that the X. Ms heads
were pretty sott but from the accident
above mentioned, we see that some
parts Of them are yet hnyd having
either not got sufficiently well soft
soaped by the K. Ms or having be-
come calloused by the frequent fric-
ton caused by applying it.
The "littlc affair y may call him a
Fighting bully and all that, but
our word for it, he can whip any x.
n. in these "diggins,' if he can't we
can help him.

Of morals, in the community where
paper is supported which gives utter
ence to such scurri!ous stuff as the
above.
SICKNESS IN TIE GouNTEY.-Now
that the town is recovering from the
effects of the epidemic, We are panied
to hear Of much sickness and distress
in the Country. Wherever q case of
fever occurs, it spreads dismay and
CONSERVATION, for miles around; and
the notion of the contageousness, of the
fever, is SO prevalent this season, that
those taken sick, positively suffer for
tho want Of friendly and neighborly
attention; and this too, as well where
tho sick are in ailluent circumstances,
as otherwise. TO such an extent, has
the popular delusion been taken, in
reference to the fever, that we hear
of planters, who are afraid to send and
get their winter supplies, on this ac-
count. Tho mcdicol profession, and
scientific men, are culpably at fault
in this matter as well as the doctors
at the sacred desk. Either the fever
is, or it is not contagious, and it should
be 50 pronounced by those having
SO as to restore some little
and christian feeling. IfI
the fever is contagious, it must be so
in certain ways, thus: if il may be
taken from blankets and clothing that
have nerer been usea, it may not be
from pedlcrs pinch back icwelry, or
copper coin. These facts once estab-
lished, small quantity Of christian
charity might result from it.
On the other hand, the Divine
should keep before The flock, the i'm
portant truth that the "sting Of death
is sim and no man may die until his
time comes. If the conntry is to
have an annul visitation, of sickness,
It will not be long before the very
bands Of society are broken asunder.
