the passions are good without exceptional

In case the attempt to employ the

trously, it is suggested that she would make

letter with his own signature cut out and
pasted on the back Of the envelope, in which
the writer stated that he had received his
communication but did not know who was the
writer, nor a word that was in it, and that his
only manner of finding the author was to
cut out the signature and use it as the ad-
dress, With a hope that the postmaster in

- merchant eff new York has written
a letter to General Cass, suggesting a method
by which, he thinks, a satisfactory arrange
ment could be made with Great Britain for
inquiring into the nationality of suspicious
vessels. He recommends that an american
Lieutenant should be placed on board of

honor and pride might be respected, and that

land, dissents from the commonly received
medical axiom, that the head should be kept
cool and the feet warm. His reasoning is
after this fashion: The exposed parts of the
body induce thither an increased circulation
of the blood, in order tokeep up the requisite

blood to the brain are very rare. I therefore
recommend apoplectic persons to wear wigs
or thick caps on the heads, and shoes and
silk stockings on the feet.
The late General Conference of the
NJ. E. Church, held in Nashville, Tenn.
