flowers spring up in extraordinary prolusion.
The Belmont, (Ohio,) Gazette says:-A
few days since, an Otter was tracked from
the Ohio river in Putnam township, about
a mile aud a half mp small run, and was
captured, after severe conflict with dog,
in pile Of drift-wood.
Strawberries, raised in Cambridge, Mass,

the rate of E92. 50 pint. The berries were
so large that twenty of them made pint

place, sold at SS3 per pint.
1t is stated that the deep SHOWS of the past
winter have SO protected the ground, or so
drawn the frost where they fell after the earth
was frozen that, upon melting, the soil, even
in New Hampshire, in many places, is found
ready for the plow.

the New York Dispatch that every man should
perform his share of useful abor; that hon

deed, it is fast becoming apparent that the
system of legal robbery, carried on i'll the
name of business, is not one whit better In
character than the brigandism of the middle

ertly and dishonesty; and somehow, the
masses are beginning to detest those who en-
gage in either branch Of the robbng business.
An English paper pays us Americans the
following compliment, by way of cutting
mp the arstocracy Of England: In Eng
land, man who earns his own substance is
not a gentleman. Even in small country
towns tradeSmrns wives and daughters are
ieaiously excluded from the balls Of the mer-
chants and squires in the great West End
of London, man whose father is in the
trade' is black baIled at Almack's. A man
must retire, and live upon his fortune, to
qualify him for good society. Strange con-
trast-in America, man is looked down up,
On who is not i'll business; he who earns
nothing is excluded from good society. So
it is in Switzar0nd. The richest man in Ge-
neva is compelled TO work for his bread in
order to keep up his rank, and De La Rive
takes up with the salary Of professor that
he may not b. despised. The result is, the
production of ii most wonderful work on
electricity, and which, we are assured, will
certainly lay the foundation of a mechanism.
which will make that element a practical

that it ought to BE-, and if it were, it would

miserable limitations of English snobbery.

Con DlsposEs.-The New York Evening
Post remarks:
There is one circumstance connected with
Napolcon's family. which historians have
not yet Observed but which is well worth
mention. Napoleon the great, set aside his
own best friend and counsellor, Josephine,
to obtain an heir to the throne of France
He married princess of Austria, and by her
he had son. That birth was the cnlmina-
Ting point Of his power and his dignity
From thence h" did nothing but descend. H.
died in exile-his son also. Who succeeded
10 his name, his fame, his power? The child
Of Hortrnse. who was the child Of Josephine
In the person oC the emperor of the French,
we find not the offspring Of Napoleon the
great, but the offspring of his discarded wife.
What an Illustration of the truth of the ad-
age, That il is man who proposes, but God
who disposeS!'

which have borne fruit the previous season;
or if buds are wanted, take from those which
have fruit upon them, for, BY thus doing,
fruit may be obtained usually in two seasons.

PARKER III. FRENcH.-The District Attor-
ney of New York, Jno McKeon, ESQ.,. has
recently had occasion to address a letter to
this individual, that has found its way into
the newspapers. Its closing paragraph is as
follows:
The courtesy extended to you is that Of
going to Washington and of returning 10 the
foreign country from whence you claim to
com as minister, within a reasonable time.
In the hope that no further complaint will be
made against you, and in rendering tn you
my best wishes for your safe return to your
own country, | remain, &C., &c,
John McKeon, u. S. District Attorney.
Ii all the accounts related of this French
are true, he is certainly the last man who
ought to be entrusted with the position of a
minister, even from so notorious a fllibuster
as Walker. It is understood that he is liable
to prosecution in the Atlantic States under
charges of forgery, false pretences, &C., and
in California for murder, piracy, and other
slight derelictions from the moral code and
statutes in such cases made and provided
He will probably make himself scarce about
the time his diplomatic privileges expire.

All the merchandise received above from
Louisville, was for merchants in this city;
and has been either retailed or jobbed here.
The stock received, was all fine blooded,
AMI was imported by our farmers for the pur-
pose of improving their heeds.
A large proportion of the Pork shipped
was destined for the Boston market, and was
sent by the way of New Orleans, the freight
being nearly one half less than by any other
route, owing to the low rates of water trans
portatiop.
Our merchants have found Louisville to
be their best point on the Ohio river for the
purchase of groceries, and the wholesale
dealers in Louis lille who would extend their
trade in this direction, should not omit the
advantages to be derived in that reference,
by advertising in an Indianapolis paper. At
Jacksonville is located the only agency of
the Kanawha Salt Company in the West,
and the agent there should let the people Of
Indiana know this fact by advertisement.
The Louisville market has proved an excel
lent one Tor grain, as the large shipments to
that point indicate; and our merchants and
traders, a~vailing themselves Of the advanta-
ges of that and the southern markets, will
hereafter do a heavy business in that dircc-
ton, More particularly as IN arrangement has
been effected with the Madison Railroad
whereby the Jacksonville Company run
their freight as well as passenger cars through
to Louisville without change or detention,
only stopping at the various stations on the
road to discharge freight or let off passen-
gers
The trade in groceries between this city
and Louisville, as indicated in the above ta-
bles. is only a 1.-THE in comparison with what
it might be made, if the merchants of Louis
vile would seek to extend their business by
means at advertising in the newspapers of
this city.

TIL True Doctrin e.

Attic late Democratic State Convention in
New Hampshire the following resolution on
the subject of temperance was adopted:
ResOired, That we are in favor Of n judicious
regulation Of he sale of spirituous liquors; but
we believe the law of the last Legislature. mis-
called A act for the suppression of intemper-
ance," to be unconstitutional, illiberal and OPP
pressive in theory. and calculated in practice to
aggravate the very evils it was proposed TO
remedy; we there foreadvccate its immediate re-
peal.
There are few Democrats who would not
be willing To- subScrib to such a resolution as
this Laws far regulating, and, so far as is
compatible with the rights Of the citizens,
restraining the sale of spirituous liquors, are
necessary for the well icing of society; b
let us nave no more laws such as those oil
New Hampshire anil Indiana, which the Sc.
verify of their provisions renders it impossible
to enforce, and leaves society without any
checks upon the traffic.

@The official business Of the Rev. E. w.
Sehon has rendered it necessary for him to
make his residence at Nashville. Mr.. Sehon
has considerable reputation as a Methodist
divine. He has a commanding person, with
much dignity of manner. He has great
auepcy, and occasionally eloquence, as a
preacher, and is an excellent revivalist.
These qualities have given him some repu-
tation and popularity in this community.
The hot haste, however, with which he took
to Know Nothingism, and the awkward pre-
dicament in which he was placed in being
compelled to dodge the avowalo of that mem
bership, has injured him very much, and
greatly lessened that respect for his clerical
character, which was formerly entertained
for him. Know Nothihgism has done for
him what it has done for many other preach
ers-decidedly damaged him. 1t will, doubt
less, however, be a source of pleasure to his
Church in Nashville, as well as to his many
friends throughout the West, to learn that he
has discovered the error he made, and has
withdrawn from the degrading association
Louisville Times.
1t would be well for many other clergy
men if they would follow Mr.. Sehon's ex-
ample and withdraw from the infamous order.
1t is quite certain that nc clergyman can con-
tinue his association with Know No~thingism
and long retain the respect and confidence Of
the truly good and pious portion of the COM
munity. In a few months from this time a
man with the small rox, plague, leprosy, or
itch will not be more carefully stunned than
the preacher whose garments are stained with
Know Nothingism.

o. At a caucus of the Know Nothing
members of the Kentucky Legislature, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolced, That the protracted delay 10 organ
izing the House of Representatives, in Congress
is attributable to an effort Of the so-called Re-
publican and Democratic parties TO make polit-
ical capital out of the slavery agitation.
R~esoiUed. That the American party stands Oh
the true conservative ground, distinctly mark
ed out by the Philadelphia platform. and on
that the battle against Sectionalism ought to be
fought, aud can be won.
Such stuff may do for a veritable KnOto
Nothing to swallow, but every body else will
laugh at it. The miserable faction in the
House who stand on the philadelphia Plat
form"-some thirty in all-with their adhe-
rents, is too contemplate to excite any con-
Germ. These Kentucky Know Nothings
think it very shameful indeed that the two
hundred and odd members of the House
don't succumb to the thirty forlorn fellows
who vote for Fuller. The Democratic men,
bers of the House have adopted and given to
the world a platform as national as that of
the Philadelphia Convention, and if the
Fullerites want to prevent the election of an
abolitionist they should vote for Richardson.
