Another Somerset.

The Democrat of Feb. 18th, speaking Of
the Western Reserve, says:
"In no equal extent of population and
territory, are there as many fanatics and
bigots. =
1t is a conceded fact, that there are with
in its boundaries, more infdelit? and ir-
religion than can be found in the same
space elsewhere"
In the same paper, published Feb.
9lst, we find the following:
1--WE trust, too, that our position will
not be Inisconstrued. 1t should be borne
in mind that we are not indulging in a
TRADE against the Western Reserve OF
it. inhabitants generally. On the con-
trary, we commend them for their great
general worth"
Now We Trust, the opinion of the Dem
Ocrat, respecting the citizens of the Yves.
tern Reserve will not be miseonstrued.
1t is so perfectly clear, and not at all
contradictory. 1t says there are more
fanatics and bigots, more infdelity and
irreligion among them than can be found
elsewhere, and it comments them for
their great general worth. Rather crook
ed tracks, those.

Bread Baked BY Steam.

We have before us a huge loaf Of
bread baked by steam, at the State Farm
School in Monson. Messrs. Blanchard
l. Kimball, of this city, have, after a
course of experiments, made al oven
which is successfully heated by steam,
and which now does all the baking for
the Monson institution. 1t is said to
bake meats very finely. and the bread is
certainly baked e1cellently we'll. The
steam surrounds the oven, and can be
maintained at a given temperature with
great The success Of this ex-
pertinent would seem to show that large
hotels and all public institutions, a do
nearly every variety of cooking by steam,
Steak cannot be broilsd over live Goals,
nor chestnuts roasted in the ashes by
steam, but all the rest, we believe, is

The Cold in Texas.

A gentleman resident in Texas, who
came up on the ars from Cincinnati
yesterday, asserts that we at the North
really know but little of suffering by the
severe cold of this winter, in comparison
with the suffering in Texas. There,
cattle drop down dead from its effects,
as they would from the disease known
as m~urrain. Birds too have died in
countless numbers, and lemon and other
tender trees of every nam have been
swept away by. the frost. There is no
doubt that men and brutes are much
better provided for in winter in the North
ern chimes, because cold weather returns
regularly, while in Texas an unusual
"snap" catches the people entirely I'M
prepared.

Suicide in France,

There have been 800, 900 suicides in
France since 1900, and the number is
increasing with appalling rapidity.-
There were in Francein 1843, 154suicides
more than in 1842, 9O6 more than in
l941, 968 more than in 1910, 273 more
than in 1889, 434 more than in 1888,
SIT more than in 1887, $50 more than
in 1886, IT'S more than in 1885, 942
more than in 1834-that is to say, there
has been an increase of about 334 per
cent in ten years, without any relation 10
the increase of population, and the total
number from 1843 to 1853 will present
a still more rapid increase. Suicide is
more common among men than among
women /; three times more common in
Paris than in the provinces /; rare among
children, it is now spreading among them;
it occurs more frequently in old age than
at any other period of life ; bachelors
and widowers are most given to suicide;
out of 4, sos suicides, 982 are attributed
TO poverty, 697 were committee by per-
IONS of large fortune, 1000 were com.
mitted by persons who worked for their
livelihood, and the others by persons
more or less poor /; suicides increase most
rapidly, and most common in the best
educated departments /; the number of
suicides, crimes insanity augment inva-
from January to July, and de-
crease progressively from August to De-
cember /; they are more common on the
first and second days Of the month than
at any other period /; the number Of sui
cides increases in the departments in the
Of their vicinity to Paris /; charcoal
is the favortie means Of death ; out of
1896 cases 1926 we're committed by
this means, $50 sought death by drown
ing, 1876 by hanging, 578 by fire arms,
aga by leaping from windows, &C., 907
by daggers, 1853 by poison, 16 by throw
ing themselves under locomotives, &C.,

SECOND DAY.

A letter from Cassius NJ. Clay WE:
read, and several speeches made. The
report made by the Committee recon-
niends the holding Of a National Conven.
ton at Philadelphia, on the 18th of June,
each Congressional District TO be emit
tied to three delegates. The Address
to the people of the United States,
Claims the right of trial by jury; ur-
ges devotion to the Constitution goes
into a general history of the aggressions
of slavery; defends the free state men OF
Kansas against the charge of disobedi-
ence to law; denies that the Constitution
recognizes property in man; denies that
Congress has any power to authorize
slavery TO spread over free territory, and
closes with disclaiming any intention to
interfere with slavery in the states.
After setting forth these general prin-
ciples, the address recommends 10 the
Republican party, first, to labor for the
repeal of all laws t~olerating slavery in
territory in which it was once prohibited;
secondly, to give all lawful assistance
