JUDGE buffers GROUND ALMoNDs.--TF From
the VinceRneS (La.) san 1t turns out that
many of the seeds aud roots distributed are
gross impostions, and many members of Con.
gress have been greatly annoyed by the com
plants of their constituents of the utter
worthlessness, and in many cases, of the nox-
lous character of those horticultural and
agricultural specimens. Honorable gentlemen,
who thought they were strengthening them.
selves ut home-makiug fast friends by such
little attentions have been disagreed bly,
awakened from the pleasant decisions by the
receipt of letters of ironical thanks, or posi-
tive abuse, for imposing on unsaspecting
farmers and gardeners the seeds of some pes
tilent weeds or creepers, labeled with some
high. sounding Latin or Greek name
The venerable Judge Butler, Senator from
South Carolina, got into serious scrape by
some Of these little attentions. Having re-.
ceived several parcels of new and very rare
species Of fruit Or vegetable, labeled 'Ground
Almonds" he transmitted a quantity of them
to his constituents, who planted them in
various parts of the State. The seeds were
in good condition, and terminated rapidly,
coming up IN the shape Of a rich luxurious
grass which quickly spread over the whole
country, choking and extinguishing all other
plants and carrying everything before it.
The unfortunate recipients of this new Nes-
sian shirt, discovered too late that their Sena-
tor had, under the name of ground almonds,
imposed on them the seed of that Presidential
grass, the great terror of Southern planters,
known as coco. Mr.. Butler has had a very
laborious and vexatious task in responding to
the numerous letters of complaint from his
constituents, in regard to what many of them
considered very sorry practical Joke in a
dignifed official, and elderly gentleman.

Mr.. Zimmerman's loss is keenly felt
He had only just signed contract for the
construction of the great southern line of
railway, from Detroit to the Falls, along the
borders Of Lake Erie at cost of $50, 200, 900.
He had also just completed settlement with
the Grand Trunk Railway for So, 0OO, 900.
In his operations he gave employment to and
came in close contact with a vast number of
people; and by all he seems to have been
greatly beloved. He was generous and noble
hearted to proverb, and his wealth seemed
to increase in equal ratio with his generosity.
He came to Canada from Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, fourteen years ago, without q
penny, and lie died worth an income of
100000, year private property. He was
only 3s years of age.
Mary E. B. Miller, who recently es-
capped from Catholic nunnery at Bard town,
KY, publishes letter giving her reasons for
it. She was placed there by her brother, I'M
der an agreement that she should not be re.
stricted at all in her religious affairs, but that
she has been subjected to the severest religi-
Gus discipline, and often confined for several
days at time, without food, because she re-
fused to go to confession. Her letters to her
friends were suppressed, and she had no re-
course but flight, and succeeded in getting
away on foot, although pursued by the super
intendent Of the institution.
The proportion of males affected with
lateral curvature Of the spine, compared with
females is only one to four or five hundred.
1t is estimated that one fourth of the females
show some deviation. Where there is not a
curvature of the spine, there is frequently an
enlargement of one shoulder. Dressmakers
say this fact is almost universal among fe-
males in the higher walks of life. This must
be the result Of lack of general exercise and
Development of the muscles of the chest.
Voltaire once remarked that if only
two Freuchmen renamed in the world, one
would ask the other for situation under
Government.
We do not pretend to determine whether

NORTH AND SoUTH.-The view taken in the
following article, though strongly tinged with
Southern feeling and prejudice, of the relative
energy and persistence of the people of the North
and South, is unquestionably correct;
We may view, with indignation and abhor-
renee, the enemies of our institutions in the
North but there is one thing for which every
gy with which they pursue their ends. Fa-
naticism is always conscientious. and, therefore
self-sacrihcing. During the last year the
Abolitionists of the North expended twenty
dollars to one spent by the South in coloniz-
ing Kanzas. Nor are they yet done with their
efforts, while the South has retired from
the field of contest, apparently exhaust
ed in her Efforts. And now we hear of
new schemes to carry out in other States
their determined purposes. Does this
look like discouragement under the issue of
the late Presidential election They seized
the very first occasion for struggle for pow.
er, which occurred in electing Senator from
the only State in the North (Pennsylvania)
which gave majority for the President elect,
and they triumphed in the election OF Came.
failure as it was, the last Presidential election
aoas great prospectiUe and present success.
Yet we see continually, in the press of the
South, the assertion that Abolitionism has
been crushed forever in the United States by
the late Presidential election. A caustic
modern writer observes, that "the power of
self-delusion is Gods blessing to fools.''-

NOTICE 10 OUR READERS.

On and after the first Of April next, we shall
adopt the cash system, in reference to the circu'
lation ofour Daily paper, Ithas been adOptedOy
most of our contemporaries in other cities, and
with manifest advantage to ali parties concerned
and we are disposed to avail ourselves ofa system
which the experience of others shows to be good
one.
We have lost hundreds of dollars every year
under the present credit system, by those who
change their residences, and leave their bills IN
settled. and we feel indisposed to continue fur
nishing papers gratuitously to those who are net
willing to return an equivalent for that which
they receive. Those persons who really want the
paper. and intend to pay for it, we know will not
object to a compliance with the terms upon which
we shall hereafter publish the Daily, and if there
are those who want it, but are not willing to pay
for it, we can only say, that, after the fret of
April, they will find its daily visits discontinued
The terms of the Daily will be four dollars a
year. payable quarterly, half-yearly, yearly in
advance. and no papers will be sent by mail or
delivered by carriers to subscribers, unless paid
for, except to those who have accounts with the
Office for advertising or printing.
In establishing this rule, we shall make nc
other distinction, as to persons to whom it viii
apply. We greatly prefer to have less number
Of subscribers, all of whom will pay, than t.
have portion OF our profits flched from us BY
the negligence or dishonesty of those who dc
not intend to pay.
Whoever, then, receives the daily paper after
the lst of April, may consider it a strong case
of presumptive evidence that it is paid for; and
all who do not receive it, may consider it a
gentle hint to call at the Captains Office and
settIe," either for longer or shorter term, as
may best suit their convenience, if they expect
the paper to be forwarded as before.

MILFoRD.-We regret to learn that Rev. ]. T.
Woodbury. Of Milford has been so i'll as to detain
him FROM his Sabbath services for six weeks, pre-
viously to fhe 18th, when he was again at his
post. He has never before been detained so long
from his duties during ministry of more than
thirty years. We doubt not he has the prayers
of his whole congregation for continued health
and long and useful life.
On Friday evening, March 18th, about one
hundred and fifty of the past and present mem
bers of the Milford High School had right good
time in surprise party to Miss Carrie NJ. Baker,
on her retiring from the situation of assistant
teacher. A number of beautiful articles of silver
ware were presented to her, accompanied by po-
etical address. From all the facts, we infer that
Miss Baker leaves to assume different, and we
trust it may prove more agreeable and lasting
position.

SOS, and, for the lack of that amount, he was
committed to the House of Correction in this city,
for four months-a sorry finale to the festivities

SEVERE, BUT TRUE.-The New York Tribune
of Saturday, in noticing the fact that Mr.. Banks
of Massachusetts, late Speaker of the House of
Representatives, was stopping at the Aston House
on his way home, says;-
As presiding officer of the House, Mr..
Banks, by general consent, has had no supe-
rior from the foundation of our government,
and no equal but Henry Clay. This is rare
and proud distinction. We think Mr.. Banks
might have been Speaker OF the next House,
or in some other official position NOT less ex-
allied, but for the fatality 10 lie Fremont mooe-

assistance from man, at late hour in the day,

to a widely different faith. Our sympathies
and confidence are with those who rise with

drama will haYe rare intellectual treat this eve
ming in the performance of Hamlet, the best of
Shakspeare's dramas, which will be re-enacted
again by particular request. Mr. Marshall will
appear as Hamlet, and Miss Hill as ophelia, as
before. We have seen Hamlet, as it has been
presented upon the stage by most Of the famous
actors of the present generation, but we have
never such full justice done to it, according
to our ideal of this sublime creation Of the genius
of Shakespeare, as in Mr.. Marshall's repre-.
sentaton, which we witnessed few evenings
since. twas perfect success, and the unani-
nous verdict Of the audience seems to have been,
that among living actors in the character Of
Hamlet, Mr.. Marshall has no superior.

icate fabrics. 1t is simple in its operations, easy
