Discovery OfGold.

Our community for two or three weeks
past has has been considerably excited over
the report Of the discovery of Gold along
Tiprecanoe river. At first We were shown
specimens said to have been found two
miles south CT this place. and which had
tho appearance Of the California gold. in
deed SO strong Vas our impression of this,
that we refused 10 notice the matter, ex
pected in few days TO see an explosion of
the humbug But further investigation
has satisfied us that gold does exist, not
only where the first was obtained, but at
several other points along the river. This
week several persons "prospected'' a little
branch about one quarter of a mile below
this place and obtained out Of a few pans
of earth perhaps about one dollar. The
gold discovered at the first point appears
to be in larger PARTICLES than that Obtained
yesterday All that has been found is
very pure and as fine as any gold ever dis
covered. ..IE
Drs. Reddick and Pattison obtained the
first; the former Was induced to prospect.
,,v,r ,i'v frot that the same indication of
the existence or gold was here as in Cali
fornia.
Everybody is now satisfied that there is
no humbug about finding the precious
metal. but the question TO be settled is.
whether it exists in sufficient quantity to
work. There are several old California
miners testing this, and we shall be
more fully advised in lew days. Some
of the old miners think it will prove pay

EE- A correspordenl Of the New York
Journal OF Commerce SAYS u is reported
tina, one large and well known manufaciu-
ring firm in Rhode Island are now making
S2o.UOU per week; and if their business
continues this profitable, they viii clear
$1,000, 900 this year.
And yet there is class Of men through
out the country, with such facts staring
them IN the face, who are clamoring for
high prolertive duties. If we desire to
build up our manufacturing interests upon
a permannnt basis, experience attesls it can
be best accomplished with the moderate
protection afforded by a revenue tariff. A
healthy competition IN any business is ben
efcial, and insures the development Of skill,
caution end prudence, characteristics nee
essary in. the management of any occupa-
tion to insure successful results. If any
class Of industry is undnly stimulated a
reaction will certainly follow. This has
been demonstrated in manufacturing under
a high and exclusive protective ta,iff.

Character of John Brown.

The Providence Post gives the follow
ing incidents in sthe history of the no.
torious Brown, the insurrectionists:
The simple truth is, that Brown COM
menced his career as a villain long before
his son was killed, and that most of his
villainous exploits preceded that event.
No man in Kansas doubts or ever has
doubted that he is q murderer; and that
he is horse thief might be proved, we
think, without seeking for witnesses out
side the city of Providence. He was n
notorious highway robber in almost the
very beginning of the Kansas difficulties,
and never felt under any obligations to
confine his rascalities TO that Territory -
He made frequent incursions into Mis-
| ,ouri; and before the Missourians had
done anything more than interfere with
the Kansas elections, was known through.
nut his neighborhood as robber and
cut-throat. 1t was in May, 1855, if we
mistake not, that he dragged Allen Wilk.
inson, very pcaceable pro-slavery man,
from the sick bed of his wife, and mur-
dered him. and on the same night. we
think, he murdered William Sherman,
James p. Doyle and a son of the latter,
who was mere boy. 1t was long after
tins that he made his electioneering
speeches for the Republican party in the
States. Did the Republicans get an in
sane man to electioneer for them? But
more than this. The murders charged
against old Brown and his son, were COM
mitted seven months before r. y. B,opn pas

Winter Shoes,

Halls Journal of Health gives the
following sensible advice:
Like the gnarled oak that withstood
the storms and thunderbolts of ccntu-
ries. man himself begins to die at the en-
tremities. Keep the feet dry and warm,
and we may snap our fingers in joyous
triumph at disease and the doctors. Put
on two pairs Of thick wollen stockings,
but keep this to yourself; go to some
honest SOIL Of St. Crispn, and have your
measure taken for stout pair of winter
boots or shoes: shoes are better for ordi-
nary every day use, as they allow the
ready escape of the odors while they
strengthen the ankles, accustoming them
to depend on themselves. A very slight
accident is sufficient to cause a sprained
ankle to an habitual boot wearer. Be-
sides, a shoe congresses less, and hence
admits Of more vigorous circulation of
blood. But wear boots when you ride or
travel. Give directions also to have no
cork or India rubber about the shoes,
but place between the layers of the soles.
from out to out, piece of stout hemp or
tow linen, which has been dipped in melt
ed pitch. This is absolutely impervious
to water-does not absorb particle,
while we know that cork does, and after
a while becomes soggy and damp for
weeks. When you put them on for the
first time, they will feel as easy as an old
shoe and you may stand on damp places
for hours with IMMUNITY"

UNAMIABDE WOMEN IS RAILROAD CARS.
The Hartford Courant is exceedingly in
dignant at some of the women passen-

their Connecticut roads
Almost every woman claims two seats
one for her precious self, and one, to
u,e Virginia expression, ITO tote her
plunder." 1t makes no difference how
many men are standing up, the fair crea-
lures must have room. Sometimes some
betlounced woman we never use the
word lady in such connection spreads
herself and her traps over four seats
She pays bat for one. The conductors,
amiable men as they are, never interfere
to give every traveller his equal rights
They, probably, are too much henpecked
at home to make the women do justice
| abroad.
There is nothing that so strongly ex-
hibits the utterly unamiable character OF
woman. as this cold, naughty, contempt
of the rights and comforts OF others. A
man who is in love with girl. should,
before he declares himself, witness how
she conducts i'm crowded car. 1t is q
good criterion of her seliishness. She
will never make a kind wife or mother.

SLAVERY AGITATIoN.-The \. Y. Times,
one OF the leading Republican organs in
1856, says now Of slavery agitation and
agitators:
We have been suffering the extremists
of one and other party to 60 on trading
for years in the fiercest of internecne
passions as composedly as if no mischief
could ever come of such light matters to
so great nation as ours.
Mad John Brown has done the State
this service at least, that he has dashed
this false and foolish confidence to pieces
II we are not really the blindest people
that ever existed and judicially set apart
for destruction, we ought now to begin to
see that the most important political work
we have to do is to combine as one peo.
pie in the resolve toput this tremendous
social question of Slavery out Of the reach
of partisan agtations. 1t is madness,
to which the madness of John Brown
was statesman.lke good sense, to trihe
any longer in caucuses and conventions
with issues so full OF the very life's blood
of one great section of the Confederacy.

was the first European lady who had visi-

"When the distinguished party landed,
they We're met by several officers, who
escorted them to their residence, followed
by crowd of at least three thousand
japanese. The lady of Mr.. Allcock at
tracted their attention more than all the
rest OF the party, she being the first
European lady that ever stepped foot on
Jeddo soil, and to them, with her crino-
line spread out, and gayly trimmed bon
net, she was eyed by all the crowd, who
would run ahead OF her so as to look her
in the face; some OF them took hold of
parts of her dress, and this ungentleman-
ly conduct she very properly resented by
giving them pretty heavy blow over
their heads with her parasol. Mrs. ALI
cock had been long time in Canton be-
fore she proceeded to Japan, and she was
prepared to meet the Japan heathen."
