FALSE REPoRTs.-ln the grave posture Of events

PAINFUL RUMoRs CITY was excited on
Sunday by various and contradictory rumors of a
mournful occurrence In the town of Mount
Pleasant. On diligent inquiry we find the SUBJ
stance Of the fact to be as follows On Saturday
eveninga party of lads, or young men, assisted
by negro boy Of Mr.. T. Hamlin, were engaged
in burning efhgies of Lincoln and Hamlin They
were assaulted by John NJ. Barre, who fired on
| them double-barrelled gun, woundng all of
them more or less, and 1t is supposed destroying
the eye of one of the lads We shall be enabled
to give full particulars perhaps in next issue
According to our information, these lads were not
trespassing The Vigilance Committee of Mount
Pleasant arrested Barre, and have him now In
confinement after applying forty lashes.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
VIRGINIA.


Up to p M, yesterday, all the counties of Vir.
ginia had been heard from at Richmond except
nineteen. Those heard from had given Breckin-
ridge majority Of 294. The nineteen counties
yet to be heard from gave Letcher 74l majority in
his contest with Goggin. These facts now render
IT pretty certain that Breckinridge's majority in
Virginia will not reach one thousand; though be
has certainly carried the State.

A BEAUTIFUL FoRM.-Take abundant
exercise in the open air--free, attractive,
joyous exercise, such as young girls, when
not restrained by false and artificial
proprieties, are wont to take. If you are
in the country, or can get there, ramble
over the hills and through the woodlands;
botanize, geologic, seek rare flowers and
plants, hunt birds nests and chase butter
flies. Be romp, even though you may
be no longer little girl. If you are a
wife and mother, so much the better.
Romp with your children. Attend to
your bodily positions, in standing, sitting,
lying or walking, and employ such general
or special gymnastics as your case may
require. Live, while in doors, in well
ventilated rooms; take sufficient whole
come aud nourishing food, at regular
hours; keep the mind active and cheer
ful-in short, obey all the laws of health
