SPIRITED RIVALRY IN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES YAM
KEGS AHEAD.-The town of Liverpool has been
more than ordinarily excited this week by the riv-
airy of two competing companies of equesrans,
contending for the support of the lieges-an Eng
fish and an American company-and to each hand.
some share of support has been extended. Our
Transatlantic cousins do everything grand SCALE
and in what is called go-a-headedness" they far
transcend the more sober realizations of the race
from which they are sprung. No stronger proofof
the fact need be cited than these dissmar circus
ploits with which public attention has been occupied
during the last few days.
The English establishment in Dale street. like our
tight little island }" is SUBSTANTIAL rather than
showy-a building which it required some weeks to
erect, and to take down which will demand consider
able time and labor. The performances are like the
building good and interesting, everything clean, neat
and satisfactory as regards taste and arrangement
The American tent, of enormous capacity, and caps
BILE of accommodating 5000 people, is made of a
material which, resisting the rain, can be pulled to
pieces and rolled up in hour two, ready for ex
panson again when necessity requires it. 1t seems
to realize life in the States where everything is made
to bend to the necessities of the hour, and admins
ter to as much animal enjoyment as possible in the
shortest imaginable time.
The day preceding the American display the En-.
glishman challenged the attention of the populace
by his team of eight horses, beautiful cream coored
animals which he held admirably in hand, and he
cracked his whip over their glossy backs in man.

The American procession was on large scale
forty fine -colored horses four breast witha
charoteer, who wore rather an axious appearance.
He did not the whip-as far at least, as could
perceive-and it was said that he could only check
the movements of his leaders and wheelers. There
were men each side of the horses conducting
them-an indispensable precaution under the cir
cumstances, but which seemed rather to disappolnt
the public which always delights in the marvellous
Then came the Indian wigwam, driven by negro
and other illustrations incidental to the United
States, which the other establishment did not al
tempt to rival. We never remember the streets so
dense!y crowded as they were on Thursday to wit
ness the American display and to such extent was
this carried that for some hours the ordinary buS
ness of the town might be said to be actually sus'
pended.

merchants need change-they have nothing to do
but present bills of larger denominations and
pei the banks to pay them the specie.
These are the puerile objections of Col. P. to Mr..
Scales course in the Legislature. But you never
hear him tell the people that candidate was an
frage.
It is for the people of the Sixth Congressional
District to say whether they will send to re-
present them who will sustain the administration or
one who will oppose it. Col. P. has never done any
thing for his constituents; he has never said one
word in defense of their rights; and the only reason
he gives for his seeming if not real Indifference is,
that he is too modest to speak when there are so
many superior to him. 1t may be true that his
speeches would be Indifferent but "Rome was once
saved by the cackling of goose
this Union. The South, with one exception, sus-
tanned him; and it is duty to send who will
support the great principles of party, and thus
save that Union which we all love so dearly. W.
NEW BUILDINGs.-We see that several new build
ings ore being erected in our town. Two of these
Ann street, one for dwelling for Mrs. Parks,
and the other for Mr. VIM. Leecraf. The new
store house Craven street has been fitted up for
dwelling. 1t is very pretty house, and is to be
occupied by Mr.. E. @. Norcum, of Edenton, who we
understand is expected here in few days with his
family. The Methodist denomination are having
parsonage erected on Ann street. All of these
houses will be finished off in beautiful STYLE and,
with the addition of the new Episcopalian church
which is soon to be erected, will add considerably
to the beauty of our town.
We understand that several other houses will be
commenced in few weeks and We hope our citizens
will not stop building until they supply ali the de-
mands. BEAUFORT Journal &

OUTRAoEoUsF FRAUD UPON AN OLD LADY.
We learn from the Medina (Ohio) Trib-
une shat villainous fraud was practiced
upon an old woman, living on Ridge road
in that town, few days since. A veal
thy farmer, her relative, and living near.
purchased Of her anacre Of land, for which
he pretended to draw adeed. Without sus-
pioion Of raseality, the old lady signed the
deed, acknowledging its execution, and
delivered the same to the purchaser. A
few days afterwards one of the neighbors
had occasion to "search the records" at
the County Clerks Office, when the dis
covery was made, that the old lady, in
stead Of deciding one acre, had given a
warrantee deed for the whole farm Of one
hundred and fifty acres, worth $50 per
acrel She was feeble in health at the time
the deed was given, and it was thought
she would live but few weeks. Had She
died before the discovery of the fraud
her heirs would have been robbed Of a
property valued at $4,000. The Tribune
says the perpetrators Of this villainy are
all wealthy and prominent citizens Of Ne.
dina.-Their names are withheld for th,
present.

Statement Of the Ohio Banks.

We have received the quarterly state
ment of the Banks of Ohio made to tho
Auditor Of State, on the first Monday in
May, 1857, from which it appears most
of the banks are in very sound condi-
ton, some Of them very strong,
The banks have a total Of nearly two
millions in coin, enc million seven hum
dred thousand notes Of other banks. Due
to them from other banks and bankers,
over one million; over one million six
hundred thousand Eastern exchange;
two million seven hundred thousand
bonds of the United States and State oI
Ohio, making over eight millions Of cash
besides their notes and bills discounted
Their entire circulation is only a little
over eight millions; thus IL viii be seen
the bill holders can always be paid, hay
ing the cash on hand at all times.
The Cleveland hanks, with a single ex
ceptiOn, show a remarkably strong bot
tom. The Commercial Branch sustain'
it's reputation Of being The back bone banl
of the State. II had the largest amount
of cash Of any bank in the State, except
the Ohio Life and Trust Company. Th'
Commercial Branch had fifty-two thou
sand in coin, fifty-fve thousand notes o
other banks, flty-four thousand Eastern
exchange, aud thirty-one thousand bond
Of the United States and State Of Ohio
making over two hundred and forty-thre,
thousand cash, more than its entire cir
oulation. The Merchants Branch Bank
Bank Of Commerce, and City Bunk o
Cleveland follow up the rear with si'
hundred and ten thousand dollars cash
including State bonds, which are bette
than cash. And the little Forest City

IA writer in the Scientific american
TO the ladies very simple
arrangement for keeping butter nice and
cool in warm weather. Procure large
new flower pot, of sufficient size TO cover
the butter plate. and also saucer large
enough for the flower pot to rest in upside
down; place trivet or meat stand such
as is sent to the oven when joint is baked J
in the saucer, and put on this triYit the
plate Of butter; now fill the saucer with
water. and turn the aoWer pot over the
butter, so that its edge will be below the
water. The hole in the flower pot must
be fitted with cork; the butter viii then
be in whatwe may call an air-tight cham
Der. Lot the whole Of the outside Of the
flower pot be then thoroughly drenched
with water, and place it in as coola place
as you eau. II this be done over night,
the butter viii be as "frm as rock" at
breakfast time; or, if placed there in the
morning, the butter will be quite hard foI
use at tea hour. The reason Of this, is,
that when water evaporates, it produces
cold; the porous pot draws up the water
which in warm weather quickly evapo-
rates from the sides and thus oools it, and
as no warm air can now got at the butter
il becomes firm and cool in the hottest
days.--Sandusky Register

The HAMMER The hammer is the uni

alike forged the sword of contention and
the ploughshare Of peaceful agriculture.
II ancient warfare the hammer was pow
erful weapon, independent Of the place
which it formed. The hammer is the
wealth Of nations. By it are forged the
ponderous engine, and the tiny needle
IL is an instrument of the savage and the
civilized. It's merry Clink points out the
abode ofindustry; it is domestic deity,
presiding over the grandeur Of the most
wealthy and ambitious, as we'll as the
humble and the impoverished Not a
stick is shaped, not house is raised. a
ship floats, or a carriage rolls, wheel
spins, an engine moves, press speaks, a
viol sings, spade delyes or flag waves,
without the hammer. Without the ham,

the human species only as delenoeless
brutes; but in skillfdl hands directed by
wisdom, it is an instrument Of power, OF

A STRoNG-MINDED YANKEz GIRL-Miss Hos.

Saturday, and Familiarity known as the Yankee
Sculptoress," is remarkable for ppSsessiny a
strong, independent and masculine mind Re-
sides the many works she has executed. her
"Cenci'' stands foremost; and those who a ~ IA
mliar with the fearful history of the tragedy
upon which Shelley has written one of his
Srandest poems, can see that none other than
a strongly marked intellect could grasp the eN-
preston OF agony through which the poor SIl
passed. Miss Hosmer's conception Of this z cat
statue Is acknowledged TO be true and absorb
ing, while In finish the work has been pro-
nounced eNquisitely chaste and perfect. This
lady was, in her youth, (she Is now about %
years OF age,) remarkable for boyish predilec-
lions. She used to climb up trees after birds
nests, drive about the country in male attire, &c.
When Mrs KeInble was reading in Boston some
wears ago, Miss Hosmer was accustomed 20 come
In from Watertown in the evening alone, and
walk up from the Fitchburg stallion unattended
bat armed with a ferocioHs looking pistol, In
order TO make the " lords OF creation keen
civil tongue in their heads and preserve her from
unbecoming annoyance.
