all ranks and ages. Even little children
may be seen with their lips dyed red, aud
the crimson juice running out at each side.
Their mouths are never, by any chance,
empty; as soon as one quid is disposed of,
another takes its place, so that SiaD1ese
always speaks as with a pebble in his mouth
and that no small one. The effect of the
chewing of large guilds is to enlarge the
lips considerably, TO dye them a sort of
black red, and entirely to alter the shape
of the lower part of the face. The Siam
ese say that the chewing of betel acts
as continual stimulant, and that they
could not exist without it. 1t is highly
injurious to the teeth, but think it does
not destroy health to any great extent
Smoking is another habit carried to an ex-
treme in Siam; men, women, and children
seem to live upon cigarettes and tobacco
rolled up in palm-leaf. 1 was told as a
fact by lady, that she had seen nursing
child Of two years old, take whifs of its
mothers cigar, alternately with its own
more natural nourishment. For this,
however, 1 will not vouch. But l have
frequently watched very pretty little girl
of five years old smoking cigarette while
she made mud pies. Most of these inveter-
ate smokers carry q reserve cigar stuck be-
hind each ear, as clerks carry pens.

The NEW WHEAT CROP. - During a
trip north, Saturday, on the Mad River
Railroad, we gave particular attention to
the growing wheat crop on the road, and
obtained what information we could from
farmers living in the vicinity of it. The
crop appears generally in good condition,
and where it was otherwise, it was evident
ly owing to unskillful or negligent tillage.
The winter, which we supposed to have
been trying to wheat, seems not to have
injured it. In many places it has suffered
from standing water. Except in such cases,
and where it was sown very late, the crop
promises fair yield at least, and some far
mers say it is uncommonly promising.-
We notice that wherever the ground had
been well ridged in blowing and the dead
furrows carried out to the borders of the
field so as to give IN outlet to the water,
the growing wheat invariably looked well.
Farmers might take hints from a general
observation of this kind, that would be
worth more TO them than several agricul-
tural shows or conventions. The benefits
of early sowing would also be quite as ap-
parent as those of surface drainage. On
the whole, the growing wheat now offers
a Aattering prospect that the judicious and
energetic labors of the farmer will be we'll
rewarded, while the negligent and unskill-
full will have the usual complaints against
the season and Providence Columbus

The Trial of the Thirty.Seven

The Trial of the Thirty-Seven
Citizens of Lorain, indicted for rescuing
and aiding in the rescue of the alledged
slave John Price, has, at the urgent re-
quest of the Prosecuting ATTORNEY, been
put over to April 5th. The adjournment
has cost the defence considerable incon
venience, and is much regretted by them.
To say nothing of other considerations, they
do not relish the suspense to which the
delay subjects them. If they are to be
punished, they wish to know it, and to be
through with what is before them. Mean
time they are perfecting the plan of their
defence. Expert lawyers give them cheer
full aid, and it will be singular if they do
not 90 into Court with their case well
made.
The jury which is to try the first case is
already struck, and is geographically, and,
so far as we can learn, politically singu-
larity. Gathered fiom the Northen half
of Ohio it exhibits out of the sixteen names
on the panel, only one from the Reserve.
Taken from a district the population of
which numbers tens of thousands of anti
slavery men, and which is by an over
whelming majority Republican in politics,
it has so far as we have ascertained, neither
an Abolitionist nor Republican on its
last. We will not yet say that justice is to
be mocked on the trial. We will say, how
ever, that the present appearance is that
such will be the fact.
We have not before informed our read
ers that the Grand Jury of Lorain County
has indicted the professed owners attorney,
Jennings, and the officials, Lowe, Davis
and the Marshall who arrested Price, for
kidnapping. The bill of indictment was
found by the unanimous vote of a jury,
two members of which were Democrats
The penalty for the offence charged, is i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for not less
than three years. Lawyers of high stand
ing, TO whom the case has been submitted,
say that the testimoney is ample for the
conviction of the indicted. -f
We think it probable that, before these
penal and State prosecutions are ended, it
will be definitely ascertained whether Ohio
is free State or not-O5erlin Euange-

A ssPaciffic,, for "MiIk sick.n

The following document was presented
to the Indiana Legislature few days since,
for the action of the body:
INDIANAPOLIS Feb 2Ist 1859
To the Senate and House of Represna-
tives of The State of Indiana Greeting.
The Undersigned Would Represent to
your Honorable boldly that l, DR.. John
Hughes have experimental for Seven years
or more on the epedemick or disease Incl
dent To man and Beast called Milk sick
having ascertained the Real cause of said
diesease and WHARF the same exists in the
Earth; l hold myself il Rediness to show
to the community at large WHARF the cause
of said disease exists in the Earth Said
cause not being easily asertained except in

Earth; which effects Vegetation and water
also; The same when analised prooves to

of time say one hour ard then mix Indian
meal or wheat Bran in the same ard feed
to COW it will produce d, disease l also
offer a pacifick for said disease which has
never failed when taken in a Reasonable
time after the attack.
The communication was referred 10 the
consideration of five Senators owning parch-
ments given them at medical colleges, who
returned it to the Senate with the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That the Senator from the
county of Randolph and the Senator from
the county Huntington, be a committee to
wait upon DR.. John Huges, and receive
from him the valuable pacific" for milk
sick incident to man or beast, and have the
same enrolled upon parchment and care
fully deposit the same in a gold safe for
preservation.
Resolved, That the said Senators be au-
thorized to sell, barter and vend the same,
for the benefit of, and upon such terms and
conditions as may be agreed upon By the
said Hughes, and to receive q reasonable
compensation therefore, not exceeding one
per cent. upon the gross amount of such
sales.
Resolved, That the said Senators, in case
of sudden and imminent attack of Milk
Sick, shall be authorized TO resort to and
use so much of the said "pacifick" as may
be found necessary for their relief; and the
said Hughes shall not be allowed to de-
mand and receive payment therefor, except
at discount of 100 per cent. on its retail
price.
Resolved, That if the commission of
one per cent. authorized to be received by
the said Senators for the sale of said "Pa-
cifick," shall exceed in the aggregate ten
thousand dollars, they shall pay the sur
plus into the Sinking Fund for school pur-
poses, and if this shall be more than is nee
essary 10 keep the common schools open
more than fifteen months annually. the
overplus shall go into the United States
Treasury, and be appropriated to the pur-
chase of the Iceland of Cuba.

Blood.

Christopher Colsom, of Hartford, Conn,
murdered his former wife few days since.
He was drunkard and gambler and his
wife had got divorce. Colson was in his
brothers house when his wife came in and
the following scene ensued:
A conversation ensued. Colson said:
II want you to speak to me-" She replied:
II have got nothing to say to you; I've
said all I'm going to; you've pulled up
and left me, and I thought twas about
time to leave YOU" He asked her if she
had ever told her children not to 0eak' 10
him, and she replied, 81 never have; but
you have said they must not speak to me-"
"They are fatherless." he said. "They are
not motherless," she replied, "but they
will be faterless." Colson then took her
by the hand, and said he wanted to talk
with her. She said: "What do you want
of my hand? it's my hand now, and I
mean to keep it." and pulled her hand
from him; be then took hold Of her By the
back, and she endeavored to get away from
him. He followed her, and while he had
one arm around her neck, took out a sharp
two-edged fish knife, with the other hand
and drew it twice across her throat. and
then threw the knife under the table
She fell on the floor by the stove and died
in few minutes, her throat cut from ear,
to ear, the carotid artery severed; aud
windpipe partially so.
At the inquest Colson was forced reluc-
tantly forward in view of the dead body,
and in reply to question if the deceased
was his wife, said, "There's no doubt of it;
she's my wife; 1 know what's been done,
and 1 done itr' He was then remanded
to Jail.
The closing act of the tragedy is thus
described:
Christopher C. Colsou, the murderer,
died in his cell at five minutes before two
o'clock this (Monday) afternoon. At one
o'clock DR.. Wilcox thought he was doing
well. Colson asked for brandy; thought
he ought to have some once an hour, so
he might ''taper off, Mr.. Martin gave
him some medicine left by the physician,
but he still asked for brandy. Suddenly
his breathing became hard, his flesh turned
of purplish hue; Mr. Martin got some
brandy, but Colson died almost instantly
with nervous spasms and commissions.
His death was doubtless caused mora
by opium. Colson told the
physician that the piece he took yesterday
was as big as the end of his thumb. Thus
eads this horrible affair. Rum began it,
murder and sudden death the end.

THE AMOUNT OF THE SALE
And SO the Great Sale went on for two
long days, during which time there were
sold 429 men, women and children; there

ness.
The total amount of the sale foots up
3O3,S5O-the proceeds of the first day
being S16l, l,4sO, and of the second day
sl42, $40.
The highest sum paid for any one fami-
ly was given for Sally Walker and her five
children, who were mostly grown up. The
price was $3.50.
The highest price paid for single man
was sl,75O, which was given for William,
''fair carpenter and caulker
The highest price paid for woman ST.
$50 which was given for Jane, "cotton
hand, and house servant"

SKuNKs. Nick Docstader, of Clevs-
land, has purchased upward of $4,000
skunk skins The present season. He pays,
upon the average, about fifty cents apiece
and expects to get at least 10000 pelts
this season in all.
A dealer in Hudson in this county, has
bought upwards Of 1000. These are
mainly the product of that township.
Truly the resources of the country are
developing. This fur has suddenly become
n favorite. Whether under the name Of
aSibvrian squirrel it is to be worn by the
"fashionability" is it to bedeck the
hussar-caps of Continental Armies; the
Skunk will henceforth take higher rank BY
reason of his coat.
The wholesale slaughter of the iunocents
the present season, will likely cause short
crop the next.--AkroR Beacon.

ExTRAoRDiNARY CArcH OF FIsH.-1es-
terday morning the fish market presented
a very busy appearance, upwards of 20
900 mackeral having been brought IN by
one boat alone. We believe this is the
first catch of the season. A good begin
ming, truly! The mackerel were caught off
the Isle of Wight, and so great was the
number that quantity of the nets actually
sank to the bottom from the weight of the
fish. There is probability of their be-
ing yet recovered; but even if such is not
the case, the loss of few pounds (the
nets were valued at about f2 each, can
be borne without complaining, when you
take into consideration that the catch is
worth something like f200. |

Key and Sickles tragedy, with significance
says:
1t will be remembered that Key was the
Attorney who should have prosecuted Her

for killing waiter at one of the Hotels.
He thought proper to almost excuse the
murderer on that occasion and manifested
feeling unworthy Of a public officer
