DR.. Hall, in his Journal of Health, SAYS thai
very few of the sudden deaths which are SAID
to arise from disease ofthe heart, do really arise
from That cause. To ascertain the real origin
of sudden deaths, the doctor says the expert
ment has ben tried in Europe and reported to q
scientific congress held at Strasburg. Sixty
six cases of sudden death were made the sub
Jects OF Thorough post norton examination
In these cases only two were found who died
from disease of the heart. Nine out of the six
ty six died troml apopexy, while there were
forty six cases OF congestion CT the lungs-that
is the lungs were 50 full of blood they could NOT
work, there not being room enough tor sufi
Gent quantity OF air to enter to support life
The doctor goes on to enumerate the causes
that may produce congestion of the lungs
They are, cold feet light shoes tight clothing;
cosuve bowels; sitting still until chilled through
after being warmed by labor or rapid wax
gong to suddenly from a close heated room in
to the cold air, especially after speaking and
sudden depressing news operating ON the blood
These causes OF sudden death being known, al
avoidance Ut them may serve to lengthen oul
vaIua bic lives, which would otherwise be lost
| under the verdict OF heart complaint, That
disease is supposed to be inevitable and incura
bic and hence men may not take the pains they
would to avoid sudden death, if they knew il

Treasurer Hastings,

For some weeks past, the Madison Patriot
has kept up an incessant attack on HQ. s. D.
Hastings, State Treasurer. The inscriptions
character of that sheet, scarcely entities its
statements worthy of notice; and for this reas-
on, we have hitherto bestowed no attention up.
on its reviings But the persistency with
which the Patriot plies its charges,ma perhaps
rnislead such as are unacquanted with the mat
ters,which that paper makeslthe burhen of its ed
itorials The Patriots hate Of the State Treas.
urer it will be found, arises from its being pre-.
vented from thrusting its hands into the State
Treasury.
The Madison Patriot assumes to be the State
paper, but the legality of such claim is dispu.
ted; the law requires the Commissioners o.
School and University lands, to canse TO be pub
hshed in the State paper, also in a paper of the
county in which such lands are situated, list
Of all the State lands which have been forfeited
by reason encouragement of interest thereon. -
The list of lands of this description for the pres.
ent year is unusually large. The usual fee for
publishing the list, has heretofore been fifty cts
for each description, or forty acre tract; and az
efforts have been.made by some printers, to get
larger fee, the Attorney General drew up a
bill for the action of the Legislature, fixing the
fee for publishing in the papers, specifically at
fifty cents for each description, "includng" the
State paper. During the passage of the bill
through the Legislature, the word ''including''
was changed thro the management of those in
terested in the Patriot office so as to read except
the State paper. Thereupon the Patriot now
demands the legal rates for general advertising,
claiming fee of $2,lO for each description,
while other papers get but fifty cents.
In order to exhibit the monstrous steal which
the Patriot seeks to accomplish, it is only neces-
sary to state, that the publication of the list Of
forfeited lands this year, at the rate of fifty cents
for each description, will amount to about ST.
OOO which would give profit of about $4,000.
But the publication at the rates which the Pat
riot CLAWS, will amount to nearly S22 600 leav-
ing profit of about $22 coo!
If view of this state of things the State Treas
urer, has very properly refused to recognize the
rightfulness of any such wholesale imposition
on the Treasury; and prefers that Pump Car
penter, of the Patriot, should seek redress if he
is entitled to any, in the Courts, or the act ion
OF the Legislature. The people will thank Mr..
Hastings for guarding the State Treasury
against wrong and imposture; wherever the facts
are known, the malignant attacks of the Patriot,
will only serve to increase the confidence of the
people in Mr.. Hastings as public officer, wi hose
duty 1t is to protect the interests of the State
Mr. Hastings has in the discharge of the duties
of his position, won the respect of honest men !;
he is certain to be re-nominated for the place he
now occupies, and his election may be regarded
as q fixed fact

Railroad Accidents.

The frequency of railroad accidents during the
past few months, is very naturally exciting the
general attention of the public. 1t seems TO be
pretty well established, that most of the acct
dents are the result of sheer recklessness on the
part OF the Railroad Companies. The accident
last week on the road seventeen miles north of
Albany, by which ten lives were lost, resulted
from the breaking down of a rotten bridge, which
had been pronounced unsafe by the people o,
the neghborhood for long time past The de.
struction of human life by such causes, should
be regarded as outright murder and treated
accordingly. Railroad officers, who take the
risk OF carrying passengers over roads known
to be unsafe, should be held to rigid accounta-
bility for accidents wrongly so called.

Foreign News.

The late arrivals from Europe, bring no i'm.
portant news. differing essentially from that
which has heretofore appeared. Discomfort
with the terms of the late peace very gen eralIy
prevails among the literally disposed. 1t is
said France has proposed to England general
disarmament, which the latter is likely to &C
cept. Much distrust is however felt in Eng
land, in respect to the sincerity of the profes
Sions of France for peace.
The last advices from Italy, are that the Sar.
dinian army is to be increased to 100000 men
by recruits from Lombardy. Garabaldi is at
the head of some twelve thousand men, and is
constantly receiving more volunteers he ex-
presses confidence that the King of Sardinia,
will not forsake the Italian cause, 1t is said
to be his intention aided by other forces, to
maintain the independence of Central Italy.
The exact position which the late treaty leaves
the Pontifcal government Of Rome does not
yet seem to be fully understood. The Congress
OF Nations which meets at Zurich soon, is ex.
pected to arrange and partition the smaller
States, as may best suit the convenience, of the
great powers.

DETROIT HIGH ScHooL,-In the Detroit Board

of authorizing the continuation of the High

resolution ordering the discOntinuance of the

Gently been subjected to similar ordeal, and
in every instance. we believe, have been trium-
phantly sustained. A High School is a most
essential part of system of graded schools
essential not only because of the advantages it
affords to its pupils but because it offers an in
centive to scholarship in the Departments be-
low. Without such School nothing like uni
formity IN dlsciplin or attainment can be secur-
ed in tn other Public Schools Under proper
management, these Schools are an economy, as
has been demonstrated in regard to the Central
School Of this city.

Opening of the Slave Trade.

The democratic party in the northern st ates,
seem to manifest but little or no concern in re.
spect to the opening of the African Slave Trade.
They endeavor to quiet such as have any fears
that the law prohibiting the slave traffic will be
abolished and the commerce be engaged in with
impunity. In the recent elections in the south.
ern States, the candidates in many instances
declared themselves openly in favor of reopen
ing the slave trade. The regular Democratic
candidate for Governor of Texas openly advo.
Gated the traffic, and made it an issue in tn g
campaign. Such was also the case with MANY
of the successful candidates for Congress in the
recent elections. While the Southern Democ-
racy' which is sure to have the numerical
strength in the next Congress, is boldly plan.
ting itself on this platform, it is idle for the
Northern Democracy to pretend the marty is
not drifting to the result sought for bv the
South. The union of the Democratic marty
of the North with the Democratic party of the
South is union for the reopening and recoe.
nation of the righfulnes of The slave trade.

country, especially the west has recovered from

of imports for the past seven months, from
which it appears during that period they have
amounted to the alarming sum of forty-sir mill.
Ons eight hundred and Jforty-sir thousand, eight
hundred and ttoenty-tIeo dollars. The imports of
dry goods during seven months in 1859 amount

of $l5,6S6,936. In several other articles of I'm.
port the increase over last year, has been near.

of things, the Tribune very justly remarks 1.-THE
uture is Ominous of evil, as the present is wild

State, takes leave of his readers in the last
number OF the "WIsconsin Pinery," and retires
from the profession. In his validictory he auds
