WHAT TO Do WHEN Boar UPsETs The
mode Practiced by the natives of the Pacific
Islands, when their canoes are upset at dis
tance from the shore, and with whom It is an
object to save the boat as well as their lives, is
this They sustain themselves by joining hands
across the bottom Of the boat, and use the other
hand to paddle home, changing hands when "a
tigue prompts it 1t is surprising how long
persons can sustain themselves in this way.

LAW Is sLIw-POrtsmouth is town of some
note at one end of the Ohio Canal, and for lack
of better employment we presume, some of the
people are prone to an indulgence in the pleas
ures of litigation about the merest triAes. The
following is the latest instance:
Three ladies were passing store, before
which several gentlemen were standing. The
store-keeper said one Of the ladies, whose face
he had not noticed, was not Mrs. H. One Of
the party said it was; another said it wasn't.
The merchant said he would give hima sack OF
coffee if he would go and see. He went, saw,
returned, and said the lady was Mrs. H. of a
verify. In the morning he claimed the sack of
coffee, sending over horse and cart, when a
little sack, holding an ounce or two, prepared
for the purpose, was laid on the cart and duly
delivered BY the esrtman to the astonished
Holmes Holmes repaired to the store and
claimed a regular sack Of coffee; it was re-
fused. He brought suit; jury was impannel-
led and rendered Judgment against Hyatt, Or
dering him to deliver to Holmes q fifty pound
sack Of Java coffee, worth Is cents pound.

"We have FULL AUTHORITY for saying
that DR.. Bower will not vote for any appro-

Company No such project is or has been
contemplated, and no such appropriation ask
ed for by that Company. This the Gazette
knows as well as we do-and yet 1t has the
unfairncss to allege that DR.. Bower is commit

date DR.. Bower, is opposed in toto TO GRANT

to the Sunbury and Erie RailIo Dad Company
or to any other corporation for any amount
whatever. VIII the Gazette do the Democrat

to say so, now that it has repeatedly alleged
and insinuated the contrary" 2"
Part OF another article in the same paper.I
There is not a district in the State in which
the Sunbury and Erie bill is now made the
issue, and not a single newspaper of any pol
itics, as far as we can find. advocates the
passage of any bill for the relief of, or to aid
the construction Of that road. A Democratic
legislature last winter r0ted dorm the Sunbury
and Erie bill, by very emphatic majority ;
and should the next legislature be Democratic
tof which there is no reasonable doubt, we
are satisfied no attempt to pass such Il bill
will be made, not only because it is well known
1t could not pass, but because the contingency
which induced the friends of that road to so
licit a pledge of State bonds to aid the Com
pany in obtaining loans, Tan appropriation
of money was never asked will no longer
exist. The Gazette's incessant harping upon
the appropriation Of 100000 to the Sun

LARGE CHOLERA PRIZE.

The Paris Academy of Sciences has again
advertised its prize, amounting to about
twenty Thousand dollars, for the discovery OF
the cause and effectual cure of cholera.
This prize, remarks the Scientific American,
is a bequest left some years since by Nj.
BRIANT, and competition has already ia
ken place for it without success. No less
than one hundred and ffty-three essays
were presented on the subject, but only
two of them came within the scope Of the
conditions.
Gone was by the chief physician of
SmoIensko, Russia the other by DR.. Ayre
of London. The first maintained the iden-
tity of the virus of cholera with that OF
smallpox and typhus, and he proposed the
incubation of persons with the smallpox
virus while the cholera was raging. 1t was
asserted that by doing so six out of every
seven cholera patients would be cured
The London physician maintained that
eight out of ten persons could be cured by
administering doses of calomel, at the rate
of one grain for adults, every five minutes
for the space of an hour. Neither Of these
proposed systems for curing cholera were ac-
cepted by the Academy of Sciences. The
ground was taken by its members that a
person, to be entitled to the prize, must
discover a specific as sure and certain for
the cure of cholera as quinine is for inter
mittent fever; also, that the remedy should
be as efficient for causing the disappearance
of this disease as vaccination has been for
virulent smallpox"

CRIMSON CLovER-At a meeting Of
the Committee of the Berks County Agri-
cultural Society, a few weeks ago, Mr..
Thomas Penrose, of maiden creek town
ship, exhibited several specimens of new
species of clover, raised from seeds distrib-
uted from the United States Patent Office.
1t is called "Crimson Clover" and stated
that it is one of the natural agricultural
products of Russia. The seeds were plant
ed on the 18th of April last, and the clo-
yer ripened by the Goth of July. The
heads are of conical form, averaging an
inch in length, and bear beautiful Grim
son flower. Mr.. Pcnrose, who is an expe-
rienced farmer has high opinion of the
quality Of this clover, for hay and pastu-
rage, and expects to raise good crop next
season from the seeds obtained from his ex-
pertinent of this year.
