purpose of manufacturing patent fuel fitted
for steam and other purposes, from the pitch
obtained from the Lake in the Island of Trim.
dad; according to the prospectus, sum of
$4,000, together with a permanent royalty of
Is. Cd per ton, was to be paid to the proprietor
OF an estate adjoining the lake, by whom the
requisite method had been discovered, and who
has obtained from the local Government the
exclusive privilege Of the manufacture for IA
years. Since this announcement was publicly
made, says the Journal of the 9th inst, the val
ne OF the patent has been questioned, it being
asserted that theprocess has long been in COM
mon use, that there is no necessity for the pay
ment of any royalty, and that no advantage is
to be obtained from the privileges said to have
been granted.

SINGULAR HUMAN BEING,

We have in this village one of the most sin
gular human beings (all things considered to
be found in this corner of the world. He is a
dwarf, about l6 years of age, quite small and
detormed, and not exactly an opium eater, but
a laudanum drinker. He has been victim of
the habit for years, and all attempts to prevent
his indulgence in the supplying drug have been
In vain. The desire for more and more is stead
lily gaining on him, until at the present time he
actually drinks two ounces of laudanam every
day and what is still more remarkable, all at
one time. This enormous potation is swallowed
at regular hour in the afternoon of each day;
pipe and tobacco then follow, and smoking is
in order till midnight, unless indeed, the sub
ject which is sometimes the case-fals asleep,
when he Is helped TO bed. The only object for
which this strange creature seems to live is the
deadly narcotic, and his only care and ambition
is centered in producing the little means re-
quired to buy the two ounce draught. As it
has been found impossible to place any effectu..
al barrier between the drug and drugged, the
attempt has been abandoned and it has been
thought best to hereafter interpose no obstacles
in the way of his free indulgence. In accord
ance with this determination, we understand
that the victim-whose yellow and haggard
visage give fearful evidence of the presence of
the coiled serpent, which alternately writhes
and slumbers in his bosom-has made a con-
tract for the daily supply at reduced prices with
one OF our drug stores, from whence he draws
the Giving death" whose influences have been
likened to shadowy glimpses of heaven, followed
by the realities of hell, with the most punctil-
ious advertiser.-E lmira Advertiser.

out reference to the name of the party with
which he acted. His principles as an oldline
wing compelled him to go with the democracy,
for the reason that the democracy is now the
only party in America which recognises the
Constitution as the supreme law OF the land.
Mr.. President, shall not go further into the
discussion at this time. have deemed it ne.
cessary to notice this point in order that we
may join our testimony to that truth which
affords the Senator from New Hampshire SO
much qualification. ! now wish to repeat that
shall ask the Senate on Tuesday next to pro-
coed to vote on this bill
