ELECTION SATURDAY MARCH FIRST

COUNTY Work HoUsKs.-The bill introduced
into the House of Representatives some time
since by Mr.. BRIEN, empowering the County
Court of the respective counties TO establish
Work Houses, in which persons falling or re
fusing to pay fines and costs shall be confined
at labor at fifty cents per day, until such ine'
and costs are paid, passed third reading on the
22d inst Such law would relieve the re-
spective counties of very heavy expense
growing out Of prosecutions against insolvent
parties. We hope it will pass the Senate.

prising friend in College Street. We prophesy
that no book of its class has ever received
'nore extensive sale than awaits this. Tie
writer's intimate connection with the secret

him competent TO furnish valuable information

Service of the United States extending as it
does over vast region of country, and having
in its enlluy such numerous and sarious agents
