"THE WORLD" This is the title of the
New York daily paper, which has been so
thoroughly announced, and which made its
appearance last Thursday. Though no names
appear as conductors, Mr.. James X. Spald-
ing, formerly of Montpelier in this State, is
understood to be the leading editor which
fact of itself will commend The World to all
Nermonters 1t is claimed TO be an indepen-
dent paper, conducted on Christian prnc-
Piles. The prospectus says that "Ihe World
has originated in the wide Y prevalent feeling
that the time has come for living Chrlstiani
~ to assert itself in secular journalism more
positivel y than it has yet done, and will a
dapt itself to that acknowledged want. Nel-
Their assuming nor seeking to be a preacher
of religious doctrine, it vet will recognize, in
all its judgments upon the practical affairs of
life, the authority and efficacy Of Christian
principles. Its capital has been supplied by
members of various religious denominations,
and it will do its work, without bias, on the
common ground Of the great primal Chris
tian truths"

size Of the Tribune, very neatly printed, and

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. - The
Brattleboro Wonir and the Burlington Free
Press decidedly disapprove Of the manner in
which our State Convention is called. They
saw that the State committee were directed
in 1859 to call "Repubican State Conven-
tons in future as Delegate Conventions, and
that in calling mass convention at Rutland
the 9th inst. they assumed power that
did not belong to them. This is the "minor-
ity report" Of the State committee, Of which
the editor of the Phunir is a member.
At the Republican State Convention held
at Brattleboro, after many of the delegates
had left, resolution was passed instructlnS
the committee to call future conventions as
delegate conventions vt the mass State
Convention held at Mortified this spring, i
resolution was passed nstructing the com
mittee to call the convention at Rutland a
mass convention, which latter instructions
the committee have obeyed.

IHE PERILs or ScIENCE.-Some years ago a
large whale was caught at the More. and
towed up TO London bridge, the lord Mayor
having claimed it, When it had been on
London bridge some little time, the Govern
mcnt sent notice to say it belonged to them
Upon which the lord Mayor sent answer,
Well, if the whale belongs to you, | order
yon to remove it Immediately from London
bridge" The whale was therefore, towed
down the stream to the Isle of Dogs, below
Greenwich. The f. Mr. Gift, the energetic
and talented assistant of lis great master,
John Hunter, went down to see it, He found
it on the shore, with its huge mouth propped
open with poles. In his eagerness to exam-
inc the internal parts Of the mouth Blr Cliff
stepped inside the mouth, between the lower
jaws, where the tongue is situated. This
tongue is huge spongy mass, and being at
that time exceedingly soft, from exposure TO
air, gave way like bog at the same time
he slipped forward towards the whales gull
let, nearly as far as he could CO. Poor Mr.
Gift was really in a dangerous predicument;
he sank lower and lower into the substance Of
the tongue and gullet till he nearly dsap-
peared altogether He was short in stature,
and in a few seconds would doubtless have
lost his life in the horrible oily mass, had not
assistance been quickly afforded him 1t was
with great difficulty that a boathook was put
in reQuisiton, and the good little man hauled
out OF the whales tongue. BuckladS Curi-
