WELL TURNED.

A young lady, over the STATURE of
Kate" sends the following spirited arti
Gle to the New Orleans True Delta We
think she gives fashionable young mon
well merited rebuke. Her remark, at
will never do to commence the work Of re-
form entirely on one side," is worthy OF
consideration. She entities her piece,
" How to educate Young America -
read in paper the other day, that
some new ornamental branches ia young
ladies' education were " Cook-ology, SPIN
ology and Weqre-ology." All honor to
the protector of so happy an improvement,
but allow me to ask, when our young
Misses become such pattern housewives,
in what " circles" will they look for suita-
bic companions? Not in upper teudom
could they be found. just fancy one of
the bewhiskered, bescented, moustached
exquisites in companionship with one OF
Solenon's maidens, who layeth her hand
to the spindle, or plyeth the flying shuttle.
or Compounded rare cookery. What az
6nity would there be between them The
same that exists between the butterfly and
the honey bee--one all glare and glitter
and frisking movements, and the other all
patient industry and sobriety.
cannot think of more useless article,
or one more out of place, in room where
work is progressing, than fashionable
young man. He knows SO little about
matters aad things, that feel in pain un-
til he is safely lodged in the parlor, among
the other things more ornamental than
useful--anuuals and bijouterie.
1t will never do to commence the work
of reform entirely on one side. propose
three branches to be added to the list of
studies for finishing young gentlemen fash
ionably.: Sap-ology, Chop-ology Split
ology, anil that IN addition to the requisite
number Of "sheets, towels, spoons and
napkin rings" each pupil be furnished
with a new wood-saw and AK, well sharp
ened, and daily exercising with them to be
practiced. 1t will supersede the necessity
Of gymnasiums.
In our onward march to perfection, and
in taking up the accomplishments of our
grandmothers, we earnestly beg that some
provision may he made against being cut
off from the chest society,"" aud
such would be the rcsultunless the
lords of creation are willing to keep
pace with us. Their lily hands
would scarcely, with present views, be
willingly united with those which bear
marks of labor; and what dreadful state
of affairs would occur in upper mObdom, if
one of the " first families" were to marry
beneath their dignity!

Baked Q"inces--A correspondent of n
northern paper says that new sensation
is in store for those who have never eaten
ounces baked like apples, and eaten with
sugar and cream. His plan is to take fair
ripe ounces, bake them rather quicker
than apples, cut them open and remove
the core, which will come out, if the fruit
is properly cooked, ike nut flom the
shell. Sprinkle on white sugar, and eat
them before they arc quite cooled, adding
milk or cream. The fruit cooked and eaten
in this manner has delicious flavor, which
would scarcely be imagined.

1t is often aquestion among people who
are unacquaiuted with physiology whether
lying with the head raised or level with
the body is most wholesome. Physicians
declare the latter to be the best, and say
that as the vessels through which the
blood passes from the heart to the head
are always lessened in their cavities when
the head is resting in bed higher than the
body, the head ought to be nearly on a
level with the trunk, and people should ac-
custom themselves to sleep thus, in order
to avoid the danger resulting from the OPP
posite habit. The relative position of the
head and trunk, when the former is boil
stored up in bed, is the same AS that pro
duced by STOPPING the head forward whcr
the head is erect.

mated Messrs. Cuttings and Mufht as drlcga ties
to the Charleston Convention, assembled her,
to-day, for the purpose Of expressing the
sentlm. MS of the conv, ntion as to the COURSE
pursued by said delegates at Charleston
The question arose as to the RICH, of the con.
ven'ion to re.assembe after having adjourned
SINE die and on the vote being taken i;
was decided in the negative by tic vote OF
ten to ten. Resolutions disappearing of the
course Of the delegates to Charleston had
been prepared and were submitted to the
delegates representing a majority of the
counties Of the District. and would lave
been adopted if the right TO re-assemtle had
been maintain,d, as gentlemen who doubted
that right, and voted accordingly, were
decidedly in favor Of the sentiments expressed
in the resolutions.

DESTRUCTION OF CRoPs by Hail on THE
EASTERN SHORE. The hail storm of the 4th
instant was very violent in Kent and Queen
Anne's counties. Nd, doing great damage to
the wheat, and somewhat injuring corn and
oats. Many fields of wheat were entirely
destroyed. The Kent News says:
1--WE have heard that Mr.. Thcs. Browne.
Geo. II. Wilson, Thos. Ringgold. r. W.
Ringgold, L. r. Frisby, p. L. Simmonds. V.
Burgess, r. Gresham. Bartus Wilkins. Thos
Burgess, and l.. Nichols are probably the
greatest sufferers. One gentleman, Mr.. Thos.
Ringgold, we learn. put his at about $1,000.
We regret that We cannot give a more
authoritative statement, but have been
unable, as yet, to meet any one from this
section.
From conversation with several getlemcn
from Queen Annes. we judge that its violence
and damage were even greater in that county
than in Kent. and that it traveised much
greater section Of country. Commencing at
Reeds creek, with breadth of nearly mile,
it extended. we are informed. to Wye Neck
passing little north of Wye NJ ills, eifectually
destroying thousands of bushels of grain,
fruit. &c. The following getlemen are the
principal sufferers: r. Alexander Wright, R.

the examinations Of a nuInber Of Witnesses

ZACH. the Opposition candidate. gave notice
that he intended, to contest the election Of
Mr.. Berrett. who has been declared Mayor Of
the city. The grounds uporp which he con-
tests the cleo ton are that alters were allowed
to vote against him: that negroes and per-
sons under age were allowed to vote: that the
Commissioners Of election committed fraud ::
that the polls were obstructcd. voters fer him
kept away. and that others were intimidlted
Ills eleventh reason assigned for contesting is
as follows: That at the second precinct Of
the Fourth Ward, riot. disorder. violence and
bloodshed, from about one o'clock prevailed
in which large body of Irish. supported
and encouraged by some few native citizens,
took the lead; that they drove my friends
from the polls and assailed my house. and
during the whole time there was a considera-
BILE body of police present, and but one arrest
made of the rioters, and released OH the
ground. The police refused to arrest an
freshman who committed gross and violent
assault upon most estimable citizen, while
they did arrest and carry to the police office

but who were in every instance my friends

A STRONG ACCESSION FOR BELL AND
EVERETT. The St. Louis Intellieencer, hith-
crto for Bates Cor President, hoists the
patriotic banner OF Bell and Everett instead,
and says:
- 'tne Opposition of Missouri have proud
consciousness that in supporting the ticket Of
Bell and Everett they are supporting men of
incorruptibe integrity. of national fame. and
Of lifelong experience in the public service,
well fitting them for the high stations for
which they are named. In addition to their
unblemishcd reputation as men. the patriot
ism Of Bell and Everett is as broad as the
Republic itself They have never been
involved in any sectional strife. 1t is u
remarkable fsct-a signal and admirable
coincidence-that should arrest the attention
of every patriot in the land, that of all states
men belonging to the South John Bell ha S
most Of the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie Of the North And Of all Northern states.
men, no one is so much beloved and trusted
IN the South as Edward Everett.
Is not the ticket of Bell and Everett most
noble one for all the friends Of the Union, both
North and South, to rally around? The
jealousy of neither part of the Republic would
be aroused by the success Of the ticket. The
South would get its favorite among all the
public men of the North. The North would
get It's favorite among all the public men Of
the South The era of confidence, good feel.
ing, fraternity and love, would he restored
between the North and The South.
The patriots Of Missouri are determined to
work with hearty zeal in the noble cause OF
Bell and Everett. Their yea will be inspired
by well grounded confidence of success. -
The first Opposition votes of Missouri for
President and Vice President can and will be
given for the illustrious, incorruptibe patriots
Bell and Everett.
