WHAT WE LIKE TIC SEE.-The following
paragraph is clipped from an exchange, but it
is applicable to this latitude. and we would
suggest that our subscribers who are troubled
with borrowing ueishbors, shall read it in their
hearing:
We like to see a man refuse to take his To-
cal paper, and all the time sponge upon his
%neighbor for the readin of his. We like to
hear Il man complain, when you ask him to
subscribe for his home paper, that he takes
more p; pers than he can read now, and then
go round snd borrow his neighbours home pa
per to read or LOAF upon him until he has
gathered the news out of it. We like to hear
u IMAM run down his home paper as not worth
taking. and every now and then go or send to
the editor for some favors in the editorial line.
We like to see IA mechanic refuse to advertise
in Lis home paper, and then strive to get a
share of the trade the paper brings to the
place by advancing its Interests, as local news
papers always do But above all things we
like 70 see one of you rich misery men, who
can't pay one dollar for a newspaper, but can
always manage to be about in time t read the
paper at the expense of "A man not worth the

TAKING COLD.

A large number of fatal winter diseases re
suit from taking cold, and often from such
slight causes apparently, as to appear incredi
BILE to many. But although the causes are "a
rious, the result is the same, and arises from
the violation of a single principle, to-wit, cool
ing off too soon after exercise. Perhaps this
may be more especially instructive if individual
i. stances are named, which, in the opinion, OF
those subsequently seeking advice in the vari-
Gus stages Of consumption, were the causes OF
the great misfortune, promising that when a
cold is once taken, marvellousIy slight causes
serve to increase it for the first few days, causes
which, under ordinary circumstances, even a
moderately healthful system would have easily
warded off. 81

An eminent clergyman got into a cold bed
in mid-winter within fifteen minutes after
preaching an earnest discourse; he was instant

A promising young teacher walked two miles
for exercise, and on returning to his room, it
being considered too late to light a fire, sat for
half an hour reading a book, and before he
knew it a chill passed over him. The next
day he had splitting of blood, which was The
beginning of the end.
A mother sat sewing for her children to a
late hour in the night, and noticing that the
fire Fad gone out. she concluded to retire to
bed at once; but thinking that she could fin

PLAonRlsM.-A writer in Mondays

PLAGrARIsM-A writer in Mondays
Union, who signs himself "Quien Sabe,"
devotes three and half columns Of that
paper to convicting DIR. Scott Of plagiarism,
and he does IL up pretty effectually. 1t ap-
pears that one DIR. Cumming wrote book,
which was published in London in 1850,
entitled "Prophetic Studies, or, Lectures
on the Book Of Daniel" Some years later
DIR. Scott published work entitled "Dan-
iel, q Model for Young Men," The writer
gives numerous extracts from the two works,
in parallel columns, by which 1t appears
that q large portion Of DR.. SCOTS book is
taken bodily from that of DR.. Cumming;
the language in most cases being slightly
changed. In bis preface, DR.. Scott ac-
knowledges his indebtedness TO Dr. Cum
ming; but the manner in which some of the
passages are quoted, and others not shows
a great deal of Intentional plagiarism. New
er having read either of the books we can
form no idea as to how far the one is mod
eled after the other, but in the extracts
given, the ideas are precisely the same, and
the language nearly so.

An UNRELIABLE PRoPHECY.-A statement
Is going the rounds Of the press, to the
effect that Messrs. Corcoran d Riggs, the
Washington bankers, had predicted that the
secession excitement would soon dc out
and everything would be restored to its
usual quiet in less than sixty days. Per-
haps no business firm in the country has
better opportunities of knowing the popular
sentiments of the different sections than
that of Corcoran & Riggs: but whatever
may have been their private opinions of the
secession movement, their public statements
on the subject are entitled to little consid-
GRAFTON. Just previous to the election Cor
coran u Riggs took up SO, ,OOO, 600 Of The gov
ernment loan-S1 900, 900 on their own ac-
count, and 81 900, 900 for other parties. AZ
ter the election there was decline 10 gov
ernment securities, but Corcoran Il Riggs
have managed to sell the amount held by
them at rates TO save themselves from loss.
While selling these securities, they would
very naturally tell their customers that Sc
cessionism would die out and the county
would soon be quiet; and whatever may
have been their opportunities for Judging,
their statements under such circumstances
are not very reliable.

WALLA WALLA.-The Portland News thinks
Walla Walla is destined, at no distant day, to
make quite figure in the wealth Of the Pacific
coast. There are already about FIVE hundred
voters there AS class, a more orderly, indus

the exceptions to this being solely confined to
those migratory and irrepressible stragglers who
nfest, to greater or less extent, every new
country. Schools, churches, and charitable So
cieties stand upon a prosperous footing, and we
understand that a newspaper will shortly be
published in the town Of Walla Walla. Thus
are we steadily marching back with civilization
to the eastward Already settlements exist Sc
curely on this side of the main mountain range,
within 300 miles of the steamboat landings on
the Missouri.

VERMONT statement has lately been
going the rounds of the press, to the effect
that the population of Vermont has de-
creased during the past ten years. This, II
true, wonld have been the first Instance in
our history of the population of State de
Creasing. But the statement is not correct
1t probaly originated from the fact that the
increase has been less in that than 10 any
other State. The census returns OF the
State show gain in population of about
$500 over that of 1850.
