a MERITED CoHPMuENT.-The following
well nerited compliment to faithful pub
Tic servant, is taken from the Clarion Ban.

wise than disnterestcd, as the " ell known
opposition procivities of that paper, will,
we think, eXonerate it from the charge Of
aseltish motive, in thus honestly commen.
ding worthy public officer.
D. w. MooRE, ESQ, SPECIAL AGENT
The name of this gentleman has long been
familiar rs the editor ola Democratic jour.
nalin Clearfeld county. Hewas some time
ago appointed by the Post Office Depart,
ment, Special Mail Agent, since when we
have very often heard his name mention.
in connection with important arrests of
depredators on the mails. We are pleased
TO note the energy he brings tobear where
ever his duties call him, and the success
which has uniformly attended him in all
his transactions The duties oi his ap,
pointment are severe and exacting. vet
hls devotion TO the interests of the people
has never tagged, nor has a complaint
been uttered against him, except by few,
who have no idea of the trials of his posi-,
ton. In order to fully discharge his pe-l
culinr, and often, very unpleasant duty, if
requires considerable time 20 uuravel tn,
mysteries OF the wrongs which he is calle
upon to remove, and this delay is corstu-
cd by some as the result ofinattention. Bit
those who understand what is requiredof
him do not thus complain, but Willingly
wait with patience until he has compItd
every arrangement, in order that ntne
may suffer from want of care. The De-
partment is very fortunate in the posses
sion of such an officer, who fully desNves
the highest confidence of the Government
in his fidelity, honesty and promtitude.

Bhang.

What is Bhang1 the reader asks when We
tell him that it actually is getting into the
mouths of Americans. Bhang, so popular
among the Hmdoos, is not "a drink, but
mixture of bruised hemp-seed and the pow
der of the areeka for hetaD nut. which Is
rolled up, with a minute quantity OF lime. IN
a leaf and is almost universally "chewed
by the people. This mixture, done up into
round balls about rs large as an ordinary
auid of tobacco, turns the lips and gums OF
deep blood-red. giving peculiar and very
ugly look to the mouths of those who use II.
1t is excessively pungent. and very Disagree
able in taste to beginners; and if indulgedln
largely, produces expectoration, and r'"'e"f
intoricdfton.
1t is therefore. just what Young America
wants! Liquors have become so thick with
logwood that they must be eaten. to all prae-
tical purposes; and since Bha"y will set Il
man up to better purpose, its substitution
for logwood and aloes is an easy thing. Lag
er Beer and Sclnapps will have to give way
for Bhang, and red lips instead Of red noses
will become 1.-The style!"

In reply to "Veritas." | have only time
now to say. that stated in my communica-
ton in the Gazette of the 10th instant, tina:
nv statement rested on the information of
others And this statement is pronoun-
ced by "Veritas" God save the mark }
to be falsehood In an interview had last
evening with the respectable lrishnan re-
ferred to in that communication, am in
formed by him that he considers my com
municaton substantially correct. 1t was
his inference from Gov. Smiths conversation
with him. lie was approached by Governor
Smith. for his vote. He spoke to the Gov
ernor of his speech reported in the Globe in
favor of reducing the wages of certain la
borers in Washington. and also of the Gov
ernors views upon foreign emigration. The
Governor replied that he was opposed to the
importation of paupers and criminals, and
did not want to make the United States
Botany Bay" The lrishman replied that
he saw very few criminals in the country
imported from abroad, and thought he had
good right to send aid to his friends Ill Ire
land, to come over here, if he chose. The
Governor agreed with him, and continued
his argument by asking the lrishman If he
too would not object to seeing Il dozen OF
Dutchmea coming to his employer and COM
peting with him for his wages
This Irishman TO whom refer, is truth
full man, man of integrity and he under
stood the Governor as combining his opp"sl-
ton to foreign emigration to the Dutch.-
