BENEVOLENT.

We do not think n pars0n can evinee a more be-
n%evolent trait Of character than being moved at
the distress and suffering of others, and further
more. anxious TO do all in their power to alleviate
by every possible means human suffering. In this
and benevolt ut can do an action more in accor-
dance with their philanthropic views. than by
calling tie aIebtion of their afflicted friends and
acquaintance to the fact, that DIR. Seth s. Hance,
Of I0S Baltimore street. Baltimore, Md, has dis
covered a preparation. which is put up in the form
of a pill. that has a specific action for curing Ep-
ilepSy! or ta,ling fits, snasms, cramps, and all formss
of nervous diseases. Among those who have heen
permanently cured. we m. hit, mention a memSer
of the family. of James II. Bradle, Huntsville. AL
ALBANIA; Mr.. NJ. p. Stedge, Cabin Point. S.srry

sissippi. We might go on enumerating Il nsRnher

RESOLVED Nor 10 RECEIVE TIE PRESIDENT OF THE
United STArEs--C Concord, N H., Sept GA large
meeting of the citizens of this city was held at De-
pot Hall, this evening, for the purpose Of making
arrangements for giving reception to President
Pierce An attempt was made by the temporary
chairman to force upon the meeting John II. George
as permanent chairman, against overwhelming
vote in opposition to him but George was repudia-
ted, and s. B. Chandler was made chairman of the
meeting.
General Low obtained the floor and said he and
the audience might live to see the day when they
would respect General Pierce as highly as they now
do Gen. jackson. The remarks were received with
a storm of Kisses.
Mr.. L. F. Flint offered the following resolution,
and supported it in an able speech:
Resolued, That 1t is inerpedient, as citizens Of
Concord, to make arrangements for gioing public
reception to President Pierce at the present time
Mr.. Fogg boldly arraigned President Pierce as
sponsble for nearly all the murders and outrages
that have been committed by the border rufiians in
Kansas.
An attempt was made to gag him down, but he
was heard and his resolution was adopted by vote
of four to one, and the meeting adjourned. There
were about 1000 persons present
The above, from freeso source, corrects the
dispatch published yesterday stating that the meet
ing resolved that it was expedent to tender the
cepton. The democrats of Concord, however, have
resolved to give the President suitable reception.
which will in every respect be worthy of the dstin-
guished character of the visitor and the people of
the Granite STATED

Miss Virginia NJ Reid, daughter of Alfred and Elizabeth
Reid, of Rockingham.
But few persons have frer prospects for long life and

She in the sixteenth year of her age possessed of

She had vigorous bodily constitution attractive per-
son. lovely disposition, and delightful home-so that
the time when she would finish her education and return

and all these fair prospects darkened almost in the
twnklng of eye, teaching the solemn les

She unwell for days before her DEATH but
symptoms of disease made their awaken
any feelings of apprehension about her situation until the
day before she died.
Although she attached herself branch of the

the great subject of religion. She always most
respectful attendant upon the worship of God only in
the Sabbath exercises of the sanctuary but also the
cal meeting in the family and in the school, During her
illness she openly declared that she loved the Saviour that
she desired to take Christ and rely upon him Saviour
from sin.
While cannot be otherwise than painful her friends
to have those cords severed which had entwned
themselves around who truly lovely in life vet

lead them fondy to hope that when at the of the
Archanges trumpet the dead shall rise she too will
forth unto the resurrection of everlasting life. d.

SHADE TREEs.-The Rev. Orville Dewey (says the
Wo rking Ferme') has donated the earnings of his
last winters lectures to his native village, to be
pended in planting shade trees along its streets.
This is truly judicous mode of exercising phan-
thropy, and is worthy Of the greatest commentator.
We hope the example Of Mr. Dewey will not only
induce others to similar liberal acts but perhaps
convince the owners of property facing public roads,
that the udcious planting Of shade trees would
der such roads more attractive, and thus increase
the value of their property.

John Minor Bolts has taken the stump in Vir-

mont. His speeches are in the black Republican
vein, yet men are found lost to honor and to pa.
trlotism as to applaud them. 81
There was Fillmore rally" in Richmond, Va,
few evenings since, and a speech was made by
Henry Winter Davis member Of Congress from Bal
timore. This man voted, during the late session,
with the black Republicans on the army appropri-
alton bill and he is no doubt an abo!itionist at
heart.
If Mr.. Fillmore has such supporters in the heart
of the South, what must be the character of his
friends North?

should be elected. There were tories in the Revo.

~ The old line Wing Convention at Baltimore

Mr.. Buchanan is a sectional candidate, and is sought
to be elected by "appeals mainly to the passions

and these the national Democratic party stands
pledged to secure to them. This is Mr.. Buchanan's

it "passion us it "prejudice" to insist upon

ED1roRsHIP.-The following, from one of our CO.
ted by every editor:
EDlToRsH1P-We have known very learned gen.
tleman to obligingly bring us contribution with
the remark, that as were of course continually
occupied, it must doubtless be quite accommoda-
ton to receive good article once in whe-and
on examining the "good" articles in question, we
have found three gross grammatical errors, divers
sins of awkwardness, and two words mis-spelled, in
the first and second sentences A lecture which
will bear printing it is delivered isan exception
and, in a word, there are very few men, who have
not served regular apprenticeship to the types,
who sit down and without "halt or let" ex-
press their thoughts readily and fuently in writing.
Yet With all this, we daily meet with gentlemen who,
because they have made an occasional hat, in let
ter to friend, have elaborated drawing story
or poem in some incautious paper, talk daringly
and dashingly of Journalism and graciously inform
us how they would make things fly round, if they
were only editors.
Singular-every man, no matter how stupid he is,
always seems to be morally convinced that if every
thing else fails he either manage small farm
edit paper-and experience shows that where there
are hundred educated young men capable of sue
cessfuly practising profession, there is not more
than one two who is really enough of a genius,
scholar and man of practical sense, to make
good editor In fact, though all the world read pa
pers, there very few out of the business who
have ever taken the pains to acquire much nforma-
ton relative to it-and the natural consequence is,
that its difficulties are unappreciated.
