He says of them: "Some of the republican
party are always uneasy. They are never
satisfied. When they get to heaven they

decision or a Supreme Court, and they will
be wanting Wilmot Proviso to keepslavery
out of Heaven"
"A About two months since the wife of
Jacob Abbot, in Golconda, c. W., present
ed her husband with eight pledges of affec-
ton at one birth. These children survived
until six weeks old, when two of them sick
ened and died. The remaining six are still
living and thriving finely. The whole eight
were very small specimens of humanity,
when ushered into the world, as might have

half their wages. The other half is kept as
a reserved fund, out of which al! parties suf-
fering loss by theft, burglary and similar
crimes, which it is the duty of the police to
prevent, are Unidentified. There is a settle
ment at the end of every six months, and
the surplus is divided among the policemen,
who are thus made to suffer loss Of wages
by every failure to perform their duty. The
