With draWaI Of Buchanan.

A few days ago, the Washington Organ
stated that the withdrawal of Buchanan
from the Presidential contest was under
,serious consideration in a Democratic
caucus at Washington city. This state
ment was corroborated by the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Cou
rer and Enqater, We find in the Match
ez Courier the following postscript to
private letter written at New York by
Mississippi lawyer Of high standing:
"Fillmore stock is unqestionably ris.
ing, and the aoiihdrawal Of Mr.. Bucha
nan is seriously NODDED here among the
few leaders left Of the Democracy"
The nomination Of Buchanan was a
mistake; it has failed entirely to effect
what it was intended to effect. He was
nominated with the hope Of Turing back

SOUR ONLY CHILD
DEAR LITTLE MARY,

But we had no means Of ascertaining
whose Little Mary it was. As the sun
was yet an hour high or more, it was pro.
posed that we should go on mile or two
to other camping grounds; and without a
question being asked, or reason given,
it was unanimously approved and carried
into effect. But the true and on y cause
was, the ncarness to our camping ground

he may refuse TO move, except to en-.

What beautiful little waif on the in.
luence of smile! Read it.
ga beautiful smile is to the female
countenance what the sunbeam is to the
landscape. 1t embellishes an inferior
face, and releems an ug ly one. A smile,
however should not become habitua, or
insipidity is the result; nor should the
mouth break into smile on one side the
other remaining passive and unmoved,
for this imparts an air Of deceit and
grotesqu'nesss to the face. A disagree
able smile distorts the lines of beauty,
and is more repulsive than flown
There are many kinds of smiles, each
having distinctive character-some an
nounce goodness, and sweetness, others
betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some
soften the countenance by THEFT languish'
ing tenderness, others brighten it by their
brilliant and spiritual vivacity. Gazing
and porting before mirror cannot aid in
acquiring beautiful smiles half so we'll as
to turn the gaze inward, to watch that
the heart keeps unsullied from the re0cc-
ton Of evil, and is llumned and bcauti-
fed by all sweet thoughts.

THE LITTLE LONE GRAVE.

California some four years ago. The in

HOW III FEELS TO BE HANGED.

An acquaintance of Lord Bacon's who

ing, and was cut down at the last extrem.
ity, having nearly paid for his curiosity
with his life. He declared that he felt
no pain, and his onl y sensation was that
OF fire before his eyes, which changed first
to black then to sky blue. These colors
are even source of pleasure. A Capt.
Montagnac, who was hanged in France
during. religious wars, and rescued from
the gibbet at the intercession Of Viscount
Turenne, complained that having lost all
pain in an instant, he had been taken
from light of which the charm defed

that, after second Of suffering, a fire ap.

when mention was made OF a pardon the
man answered coolly that it was not
worth the asking. The in(omity of the

instances. They fill pages in every book
Of medical jurisprudence. All agree that
the uneasiness is quite momentary, that
pleasurable feeling Immediately succeeds,
that colors Of various hues start up be-
fore the sight, and that, these having
been gazed on for trivial space, the rest
is oblivion. The mind averted from the

Superior Items.
For ST.. PAUL.-Mr. Zachua started two
teams for St. Paul on Thursday last, well
loaded with passengers and freight This
gentleman, we learn, proposes to bring flour
through for five dollars per barrel. If it can
be bought there at eight dollars, for which
we believe it is selling, he will deliver it here
at thirteen dollars. J
STEAMERS ON LAKE SUpER1oR.-A gen.
tleman residing in this town informs us that
he learned on Sunday last, that there were
two steamers wintering on this lake. This,
it true, is cheering news, for in the event of
any accident occurring to the Saut Canal
next Spring, we should be in sad plight.
1t is supposed that the Sam Ward is one of
the steamers, as she was met coming up
Lake Huron on the 18th of November The
propellers General Taylor and Manhattan
were to have wintcred on this lake, but we
have not learned as yet whether they are
doing so. The schooners Ford and Free
man are at Copper Harbor; and the White
Fish on the Canada side.
MILITARY RoAp.-Mr. E. C. Clark. the
surveyor of the Lake Superior and Point
Douglas Military road, returned to this place
last week. The road was not quite cut
through when he left, but it was expected to
be opened the present week. Mr.. Doble's
team, which left for St. Paul nearly two
weeks ago, has been detained on the road.
IN consequence of its not being open. AS
soon as this road is cut through, the entire
force in the employ of Messrs. Rice & Han
ley will be put to work on the Mile Lac
road.

IHE Manufacturing the past week
we experienced colder weather than ever
before. On Tuesday the Thermometer stood
six degrees below zero and on Monday
twenty-nine degrees. This was the coldost
day OF the winter. The atmosphere was dry
and pure and one does not feel the cold SO
sensibly as in more southern cline.
In THE WooDs.-The Messrs. Nettleton
have large force of men, and three yoke of
oxen, in the woods, up the St. Louis, get
ting out logs for the saw mill they intend
erecting on the Nemadji next Spring.
Messrs. Slayton Robertson, and others,
are also cutting logs to supply the mills next
The MAIL.-The mail from st. Paul ar
rived early on Sunday morning. The recent
cold weather has much improved the road.
and the mail will be more regular hereafter.
Next week the carrier will come THROUGH ON
the military road. The contractor is MAKING
to put horses on the route. and
to secure faithful and sober men.
This reform is commendable.
