had been brought there by three men, and af-
forwards carried to North Arlington. On going

- The statistical tables of morality shows
a reduction in this country of the proportion of
deaths from pulmonary diseases. Doct. Aver
attributes this result to the effect of his Cherry
Pectoral- He also asserts that the cures from
his CathaTtic Pills give reason to believe they
will, as they come into more general use ma
tenaily reduce the mortality from those paricu-
lar diseases for which they are designed. From
what we know of his preparations, we think he
has grounds for his claims, and if he has it is
an attaInmen. of which an Emperor might be
proud. Rarely is ii permitted any one man to
know that his skill is hestuwing health and life
to the masses of his fellow men
Such reflection is worth working for, even
though he had the reflection for bis reward.

Az il Should Be.

The rapid subsistence of the most violent
political excitement in this country is one Of
our national peculiaritics. However fierce
the phrenzy of u long and animated canvass,
and however angry the feelings of p~artizan
strife, it rarely happens that one particle Of
ill-feeling survives the close of an election.
Although the most eager and cxcltable Of
politicians, the Nirginians are, Of all voters,
tho most quiet, orderly, and g~ood-humored
men at the polls. For weeks before AN cleo
ton, theS d~cclaim, argue, and indulge IN
mutual determinations but an era OF good
feeling Immediately follows the rendition Of
the popular verdict. This is as it should be.
This State would be worse than Pandcmo-
MUM if there was no interval for rcpOsc after
AN excited election. We trust that all We
have said will be strictly applicable to tho
canvass lust closed. 1t has been An unusu-
ally animated and excited one, and has clici
ted much warm and angry discussion, both
upon the part Of the press rs well rs upon
that Of the candidates for Office, and the able
and brilliant orators of both parties.
We particularly commend to all future
candidates for the three principal State oth-
ces. the example OF personal good feeling
and mutual courtesy set by Messrs. LETcnEE,
GoGGIS. TucEER, Preston, MONTAGUE, and
WILEY. Barring some misunderstanding
in the threshold of the canvass upon the sub
ject Of appointments to speak" we believe
the canvass was conducted with perfect good
feeling by these candidates. Hard knocks
were freely given and returned. In discus
sion, it was LAY on Macduff," whilst the
social and friendly relations of the candl'
dates were never for a m disturbed.
The candidates Of the Opposition impressed
the Democracy most pleasantly as very anus
ing and entertaining speakers, and the anec'
dotes of Mr.. Goggin will long be remember
ed by both parties, and will furnish pleasant
"reminiscences Of his long and arduous cam
paign.-Rich. Examiner.

New Idea.

1t ia not often that Il thoroughly novel idea
IL developed, but we seem to have discovered
one now. A Cincinnati paper has com
menced the publication, on Saturday morn
ings, of texts of scripture, from which the
several clergymen of that city propose to
preach on the following day. This will un-
questionably have a bad effect; the church
goers will now look over the programme Tor
the next day, and will select for their reIi'
gious food the ermon which are to hire IN
to the shortcomings Of their neighbors, care
fully avoiding those churches where thrIr
own besetting sins are likely To be roughly
treated. 1t is to be feared that, unless Tins
ill-advised plan is abandoned, each preacher
Of Cincinnati will rave a congregation oi
saints, quoad the particular vice or fault
against which the artillery of the day -
aimed, and the reverend clergy will be
obliged to increase an evil to which they AMI
the laity are equally prone-that OF ram
bling from their text, thus committing an
offence against good rhetoric, and sprlngihs
an unholy trap on their listeners E"''"'

A COMPANION of Daniel Boone.

The Cincinnati Gaz, te says: The steamer
Superior brought up on Monday, the remains
of John Osborn, one of the Oldest pioneers in
the Western country, and among the car
Hest settlers of this city. MIR. Osborn came
to Cincinnati six years before any house was
erected on the site where the city now
stands. He passed down the river in a flat
boat, in company with seven others on an
exploring expedition, and with his brother
and Daniel Boone, first discovered the Nam
moth Cave in Kentucky, by tracking a
wounded bear the party had shot into the
mouth of the Cave. Mr.. Osborn rambled
over the Western country with Boone and
others, when there was scarcely n cabin to
be seen in any part of the vast wilderness.
In the early settlement of Ohio. MIR. o. pur-
chased 10 acres of ground in Warren coun-
ty, adjoining where Lebanon now stands,
for sixteen dollars, and has resided there
ever since, while around him the forests
have disappeared, cities and towns have
sprung up as if by magic, and out of the
boundless solitudes through which he roam
ed, has risen the fourth great State Of the
Union. The ground he purchased for six
teen dollars is now valued at sixteen thou
sand dollars. Mr.. Osborn was So years of
age, and being weak and infirm, made Il
visit a few weeks since to his son, the owner
of q large sugar plantation on the lower
Mississippi. There he died early last week,
and his remains reached here on Monday,
ON their way to Lebanon for interment.

Sombrero Guano.

At a meeting of the Academy of Natural
Science. Philadelphia, April l9, DR. Leidy re
marked that Jos. b. Hanson X Co., OF that
city, had recently addressed to him a note to
call ut their warehouse and examine some
masses of the so-called Sombrero guano, con-
tanning fossil bones. Two large masses OF
this substance, now on the table, and pre-
scented 10 the Academy by Mr.. Hanson, in
clude a number of turtle bones, among which
the posterior portion ola sternum of an ind
vidmal is we'll preserved. The included bone
fragments significantly point to the origin OF
the rock. imported ~ rich IN phos-
pilates. from the island Of Sombrero, W. Ii.
This island. situated about l30 miles east OF
Porto Rico, Mr.. Hanson informs us, is about
y miles long. | to I Of a mile wide, and
rises from twenty to forty feet above the level
of the ocean. 1t is n barren rock, formerly
avoided bv navigators, and appears to be en-
tirely composed Of the rich phosphate min
eral. Analyses of the substance, by compe-
tant chemists, indicate it to bear Il resemblance
in composition to bones deprived of their
cartilage, and otherwise altered, as We might
suppose bones to be. exposed to the influence
of the ocean water. 1t contains about the
same proportion of phosphate OF lime NJ the
calcincd bones: and it is this circumstance
which has directed the attention OF enterpris-
Ing merchants and agriculturists to the use
of it ns Il manure.
When we ~rccollect that the cereal grains,
buakwheat, clover, and other leguminous,
Weld in their ash from 50 to 80 per
cent. of phosphoric acid, We cannot but
feel the conviction that the Sombrero
substance, with its 81 per cent. OF phos-
pilates. must prove 10 be OF far more
permanent value than the true guano.-
From this. the Sombrcro material descr-
YES to be distinguished by II new name,
and perhaps the easy one of OSlte, from
it, resemblance to bones, and its probable orr
gin, would not be inappropriate. But are
we to ascribe the immense mass form
ing the Sombrero rock to animal origin?
Many reefs aud shores of vast extent are
known positively TO have had their ORR
sin in the testaceous coverings of the
lower animals, but Somhrero appears to
be the first instance Of an extensive Is
land formed alone Of the remains OF the
higher animals. The composition OF the
Sombrrro substance, with its included bones,
leads Us to suspect that the island was once n
shoal swarming with turtles and other verte-
bral animals, whose accumulated remains Of
of ages have been cemented together, and
gradually elevated above the ocean level to
the present position of the island.
Mr.. Hanson informs us that no animals IN
habit the latter, independently Of birds, except
a lizard. about one foot in length. specimens
of which he has promised to obtain for the
Academy.

Great Fire at Key West.

By the arrival at this port yesterday Of the
l.. 5. surveying schooner Howell Cobb, Capt.
Budd. from Key West, VT learn that Il fire
broke out in that place on the morning OF the
10th instant, which ragged for five or SIX
hours. and laid in ashes the whole business
section Of the town, except the stores OF
Bowen 4 Curry. and Mr.. Tufts. Among
the buildings consumed was that occupied
by the United States court and marshal, and
the insurance Offices. All the records were
saved, but the libraries of Senator Mallory
and Judge Marvin fell a prey to the flames.
4 large quantity of loose cotton was also
consumed, together with the t.. $. store
house, including $1,000 worth Of govern,
mcnt stores. and the warehouse, DC, OF
O'IIara u Wells. \ cargo of sugar belong,
ing to Il condemned British barque, was
stored in them, and was totally lost. The
total loss is estimated AT 26O,OOO-insur-
ancc 100000. Among the principal suffer
crs are Vim. II. Wall 4 Co., Down Bros,
James Filler, Mr.. Campbell, and Mr.. Schacf:
fer, in whose store the fire originated. 1t
appears the town had no fire apparatus. and
there was Il great scarcity Of water. To
Capt. Grammar, Lieut.. Eddy. and the sol
dicrs of the garrison, as well as the officers
and crew of Il L. :. storeship in port, great
credit is due for their efficient services in
finally staying the progress of the flames by
blowing up surrounding buildings. Bait

was carried. Both were evidently strug-
giles between the clegy and laity, and both
elected warm and exciting debates. The
