The Junior Of the COURIER, to offset the
good luck of the foreman of the Statesman,
(alias Joker's Budgct,) thought to go ang.
ling the other day. Having captu-cda qua,.
tity of the smaller "inny tribe" for 'bait,'
set off with tackle and high hopes. After
walk of some two miles down the river he
s brought up at point where he thought to
"drap line" One of the aforementioned
'baits" was properly attached to the said
'tacklc," which, being tossed in air, complet.
ed the arrangements for some huge fishing
and anxious waiting for-"bites." Wheth.
or their fishship were offended at the dainty
repast set before them, or not, we are not
appriscd; but one thing is certain, and il
IS soon told, in his own words "didn't ge,
a nib5le"
N. B. lie is no longer an aspirant for
the championship, but quietly wthdraws.

We are pleased to note the amount of
taste displayed by our citizens in the way
OF "tasty fixin's, "-painting, papering, orna-
mental gardening, and otherwise identifying
their prcmises--which is at once (and who

upon by the passerby. We with many
others not only expect to see our city among
the first of the State, but the most beautiful,
at no distant day.

little better, to buy Of Eaton, than to send

-"At the last sitting of the Imperial Society of
Medicine, of Lyons, the important question of the
relative advantages of ether and chloroform as
an;esthetics was fully discussed. The society, on
motion of DR.. Barrier, passed the following
resolutions i. That ether, used as an an;esthetic
Is less dangerous than chloroiorn. 2 That
an;ethesa is produced constantly and completely
by ether by chlorotorm. B. That if ether
presents inconvcniences from which chloroform is
exempt such inconvenience are ofslig importance
and are preferable to the danger inherent to the
use of the latter. 4. That consequently, ether is
to be preferred to chloroform'

EXCEPT YE BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN,
YE SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEA-

touching incident in the last moments of Mr. r.,
Lawyer of distinction who removed from this
part of the State to Tennessee three four years
ago, and died there recently. He had been i'll for
several weeks, during which his mind had been
deeply impressed with those religious views which
had not sufficiently interested him during his pre-
vious life. As the vital spark was Pickering, he
seemed to have become little child again, and
murmered his childish prayers
"Now | lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If [ should die before | wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take"
81 pray God to bless dear father and mother,
my brothers and sisters, and make me good boy"
With these words he went to sleep-the sleep
that has its waking in another world-we may
hope better world to the child-man The last
prayer upon his lips the first prayer he learned
at his mothers knee-the life between blotted
out, it may be.-Fuy OGSerrcr.
