THE TRoUT.-The trout is the only fish that
comes in and goes out of season with deer; he
grows rapidly, and dies early after reaching his
full growth. The female spawns in October-at
a different time for nearly all other fish; after
which both male and female become lean, weak
and unwholesome eating, and if examined close
ly will be found covered with a species of Glove
shaped insect, which appear to suck their sub
stance from them. They continue until warm
weather, when they rub the insects off on the
gravel, and Immediately grow strong. The fe-
male is the best for the table. She may be
known by small head and deep body. Fish are
always in season when their heads are so small
as to be disproportioned to the size of the body.
The trout is less oily and rich than the salmon;
the female is much brighter and more beautiful
than the male, they swim rapidly, and often leap
like salmon, to great height when ascending
streams. When first stocked my trout pond,
placed 1900 in it, and was accustomed to feed
them with angle worms, rose bugs, crickets,
grasshoppers, &C., which they attacked with
great voracity, to the amusement of those look
ing on. They grow much more rapidly in ponds
than in their native streams, from the fact that
they are better fed, and not compelled to exer-
else. Trout are the only fish known to me that
possess voice, which is preceived by pressing
them when they emit murmuring sound and
tremble all over.---RObert Il. Pedte,

SLEEPING TOGETHER

II man were to see quarter OF an inch of
worm put in his cup of coffee he could not
drink it, because he knows that the whole cup
would be impregnated. If very small amount
OF some virulent poison be introduced into
glass of water, the drinking Of it might not
produce instant death, but that would not prove
that it was not hurtful, only that there was not
enough of it to cause destructive result i'm
mediatey
We sicken at the thought of taking the breath
Of another the moment It leaves the mouth. but
that breath mingles with air about the bed in
which two persons lay; and it is rebreathed, but
not less offensive is it in reality, on account of
the dllution, except that it is not taken in its
concentrated form, but each breath makes it more
concentrated. One sleeper corrupts the atmos-
phere of the room by his own breathing, but
when two persons are breathing at the same
time, twelve or fourteen times in each minute,
each minute extracting all the nutriment from
gallon of air, the deterioration must be rapid
indeed especially in a small and close room.
A bird cannot live without a large supply of
pure air.
canary bird hung up in a curtained bed
stead where two persons slept died before the
morning
Many infants are found dead in bed. and it is
attributed to having been overaid by the par
ents; but the idea that any person could lay still
for moment on baby, or anything else of the
same size, is absurd. Death was caused for the
want of pure air.
Besides emanations, erial and more or less
solid, are thrown out from every person
thrown out by the process of nature because
no longer fit for life purposes, because they are
dead and corrupt--but if breathed into another
living body, it is just as abhorrent as if we took
into mouths the matter of a sore or any other
excretion.
The most destructive typhoid and putrid fever
are known to arise directly from a number of
persons living in the same small room. Those
who can afford it should therefore arrange to
have each member of the family sleep in a sep
arate bed. If persons must sleep in the same
bed, they should be about the same age. and in
good health. If the health be much unequal,
both will suffer, but the healthier one the most
the invalid suffering for want of entirely pure
air.
SO many cases are mentioned in standard
medical works, where healthy. robust infants
and larger children have dwindled away, and
died in few months, from sleeping with grand
parents or old persons, that it is useless to cite
special instances in proof
1t would be constitutional and moral good
for married persons to sleep in adjoining rooms,
as general habit. 1t would be certain means
of physical invigoration, and of advantages in
other directions, which will readily occur to the
reflective reader. Kings and queens and the
highest personages of courts have separate
apartments 1t is the bodily emanatons collect
ing and concentrating under the same cover
which are the most destructive of health-more
destructive than the simple contamination of an
atmosphere breathed in common.

DemagOuges below Far.

The result of the recent election in this
State is certainly whitening rebuko to John
w. Forney and his his moteley group of dis
ciples- Notwithstanding their efforts during
the campaign to disorganize the party, the
returns show large democratic gains over the
opposition vote of last year. This shows
conclusively that the great mass of the Dem
ocratic voters of the State despise Forney and
his followers and regard them as a group of
reckless disorgauizers. They prophecied at
the beginning of the campaign that the State
Ticket would be defeated by a majority of
10000. The majority against it will not
probably exceed 10000. By holding State
Conventions, adopting resolutions, and above
all by voting the Black Republican State
Ticket, they hoped to be able TO make good
their prophecy but the Democracy treated
them with the contempt which they merited,
and refused at their bidding to desert the
candidates and principles of their party
They signally failed in their efforts to play the
part of the traitor
''Whose treason like deadly blight,
Comes DER the councils of the brave,
Aud blasts them in their hour of might,''
The party Notwithstanding their efforts is now
thoroughly organized, and will go into the
campaign of 1860 confident of success.

Good Neutral Paper.

The Altoona Tribune, the organ of the
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company for Blair
County. announced last week, the election of
L. W. Hail. to the State Senate, with reg
ular flourish of trumpets. When political
party or even a souless corporation achieves
a victory at the ballot box of course its organs
have a right to CROW, and we do not there
fore find fault with the Tribune, as one of
of the organs of the Pennsylvania Rail Road
Company, for rejoicing over the defeat of
Mr. Durbin. But we do object to its pro-
Tossing to be neutral Journal, while it takes
an active part in the political contests of the
day, and defends the candidates of one part
while it abuses those of the other. Such a
paper is nothing better than piratical vessel
sailing under false colors. Our Altoona
neigbors should like men, openly uphold the
cause to which they are welded, instead of do
ing so, in sneakiDg and covert manner
With regard to the thurst they attempted to
give us last week, VIC have only to say that
we think we dealt fairly with Mr.. Hall du-
ring the campaign, and that we never pub
iished anything concerning him, calculated
to do him injustice. We hope his career in
the Senate may be brilliant one, and that
at the end of three years, he may be account
ed worthy to occupy place on the list OF
