their friends to indemnify them in this increas-
ed expenditure, by a corresponding increase of
subscribers. Terms 50 a year, or 10 copies

Too DoG.-A lady in South Ashland
requests us to enter a protest against the dog
pestilenee that, under some evil dog star or
other, RACES furiously in that quarter of the
.city-making night hideous with yells and
holding nocturnal revels upon gardens, wash
e~rwomen's clothes, &c. The city fathers will
please make a note of this source of disturbance
of the public order. We would suggest that
the Council re-enact some old Ordnance of
about the caIibre of that of $50, or say that Of
Capt. BRAGG, and append a few of JOHN
LAWS muskets and the necessary amount of
dog buttons, in the abatement of this nuisance.
Something should be promptly done to curtail
the superfuous and useless ours. All we
ask, however, is, that the Internal e~nginery
behave properly toward our dog LYLE, who
is a w~ellconditioned and well-behaved dog,
and habitually eultivates the arts of peace
Except in one or two instances, when, being
faint, he mistook our friend MIL

had been unwell for some time, and had receiv-
ed a prescription from her physician, which
was filed at one of our drug stores. She par
took of a spoonful, and was a corpse in Is
minutes. The prescription, it is stated, was
misunderstood, corrosive sublimate being put

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.-Those farmers who
find it necessary to replant their corn may de-
rive advantage from a trial of the recipe recon-
mended in, an article in the Springfield Repm6-
Hcan. It says that Mr.. Goodman, an old far
mer of that county, has corn planted six weeks
since, which is now in tassel. 1t was of the
common variety, soaked in chloride of lime
eight hours. TIL corn planted at the same
time not subjected to this process, is hardly a
foot high. a pound of chloride of lime is suf-
fcient to plant forty acres of corn.

the oil will burn from IA to 16 hours, giving a light

the masses of the people had confidence in these
ieaoefs; and believe that by their action they
would ultimately and peacefully abolish slavery.
