MISCELLANEOUS.

RG7~ Mrs. Partington's "quips and quirks' ar altogether distanced nowadays by the wit an wisdom of like" of the Norwid Bulletin. Tn following are some choice clippings from or contemporary who may well be styled the Prel tice of New England.
 There was very little enthusiasm manifested scarcely any, whatever. Indeed, we are conf dent that we will be supported by all candid pe1 sons present, in saying that less enthusiasm wa shown than at any political meeting which Ina been held in this city during the past year. w certainly nerer attended political gathering c people of any party which was so devoid of CT thusiasm.-Nep Haren Ners
 How much that practice might have been i'm proved by adding, "There was no enthusiasm scarcely at all, whatever. In fact, there wasn' any enthusiasm Very little enthusiasm. Wt have never known so much people do so little enthusiasm"
 We shall expect, if a Black Republican Presi dent is elected, that he will charge an admission fee to the White House.-Constituti0n
 And you might add: the silver will be locked up when any of Buchanan's officials are admit ted
 A. E. Burr, Esq, senior editor of the Hart ford Times, and chairman of the democratic state committee, has been presented handsome set of silver, consisting of eight pieces, as to ken of esteem for his labors in the cause of de mocracy in the late campaign.
 Middleto,cn Sentinel Only eight pieces of silver! How the value of such labors has depreciated. Eighteen hundred years ago, they paid Mi,ty.
 OLD HuNDRED.-One of our staid and sober citizens was yesterday engaged in conversation | with neighbor on religious subjects, when, like hand d-organ struck up Old Hundred, at the door. The gentleman stopped short, and remarked | with emphasis, - that hand-organ!" He spoke the sentiment of community. The whole town will become profane If that machine isn't removed shortly. Let's have city meeting and swap it off for steam fire engine.
 The Boston Courier tells very funny incl dent about John c. Wyman being interrupted by donkey while making speech at one of the stations between Detroit and Chicago. There must be some mistake about it. No one on the train knew anything about the donkey, until d1eg sao n ia dbe Courier.
 The New Haren Ners is amused at the nomi. nation of" Old Father Abraham" There's but one reason for supposing the editor of the News won't, one of these days, call on Father Abra, ham for water, and that is that he don't know the beverage. Whatever "the coming Baltimore Conven ton" may do, or fail to do, we hope to see nc such ridiculous careful sketches" of the demo. cratic candidates paraded before the public, as in the case of Incoln.-Aawora.
 Very likely. When you get your candidate nominated the very thing to be avoided is careful sketch" of him. That would defeat him sure. .,>

HoLLowAys PILLs.-MucH TRrTn IN SMALL COMPASS. Encouragement of the Stomach aud BoueIs- Few people are conversant with the manner in which the blood is created or that the stomach with the gastric juices, the secretions of the liver and the action of the lungs are the chief agents for converting the food we eat into blood, hence the great necessity for preserving the stomach in sound and healthy condition. Nothing has yet been discovered more efectual for this than Hol- loways famous Pills, which act directly on the stomach, liver, bowels and circulation. In bil- ious disorders, indigestion, costiveness. and all consequent complaints, headache, piles, and de- hility there is no medicine in use which insurcs such certain and beneficial results

 Such cures his Pills do make
 Smiles, lovely smiles, shall deck the brow,
 Where gloominess is rampant now,

The Legislature.

The legislature completes this week the sixth of it's weekly sttngs It can hardly be said to have been in session six weeks, if we reckon by the number of days usually allotted to the week, as members seem so greatly reluctant to spend their Sundays in the neighborhood of the capit- al, or desire so devoutly to prepare their minds for the Sabbath, that they have usually adjourn ed on Fridays and have hardly been able to find quorum again until Tuesday. We have no ob- jection whatever to this pleasant arrangement, except that the opportunity for laudable brevi' ty of lawmaking is thus slipping through the fingers of the unconscious General Assembly.
 But what really is being done in these rapidly flying weeks, our readers have as favorable an opportunity of observation as have we, from the succinct but excellent letters of our Legislative Correspondent" who has himself friendly in- terest in reporting, and even magnifying all that is done or left undone by the Senatorial and Representative wisdom. For oursef we must say that beyond seating and unseating various members of the lower house, referring and de-
 
 the prayers of Democratic candidates for Sheriff and incarcerated individuals in Wethersfeld-a very moderate amount of business seems thus fal to have been accomplished.
 Las. week the Senate had an opportunity O distinguishing itself, and the House did distin guish itself, by passing promptly an efficient ac' relating to the spread of the cattle disease, but the gentlemen of the upper House, desired time to consider and reflect upon the matter, to ob- serve the symptoms, perhaps,o cattle which were reported sick in their own neighborhoods, to take personal and medical diagnosis on the sub- feet, and to take quiet look as to who should be appointed Commissioners, &c.,, for all of which good and sufficient reasons they postponed con- sideration of the bill until Tuesday.
 It is possible, however and probable, that our friends in the legislature have so little to do, that they can afford to temporize and consider; but as we believe the understanding is to ad- journ next week, in our opinion it would be well to expedite matters somewhat, even to the in- convenience of sitting over one Saturday.
 At any rate, let us hope with the vivacious and watchful editor of the Hmyord Press, that our assembled wisdom-workers may be preserved from the fate of the youth of Dr. Watts time, to whom and to all of us that eminent worthy remarked:
 "Satan finds some mischief still,
 For idle hands to do."

It's whole his- tory proves that the past has produced no remedy of equal value, as cure tor the numerous and dangerous pulmonary affections which prevail all over the land
 A REMARKABLE CASE!
 FROM MR. JOHN B. DARLING, WATcAMAKER.
 PUTNAM, Conn.,, March 20, 1860.
 Gentlemen :-I avail myself of this opportuni- ty to say word in behalf of " DR WIsrAR's BAIL SAM OF WILD CHERRY" which I have made use of in my family for several years, and always with the most beneficial results My wife being of deli cate habits, has always been troubled with hard, dry, hacking cough, whenever taking little cold, and has employed various specifics without obs taining any relief, until prevailed upon to test the virtues of Wistars Balsom, the effect of which has been truly astonishing.
 More than year since young man belonging in this place was taken with bleding at e ha1gsin connection with most severe cough, ana was finally given over to die by our best physlclans, and it was evident to all that CONSUMPTION was claiming him as victim! Learning these facts. my wife sent him bottle of the Balsam, which he took, and in due time, to the great astonish- ment of his friends, was at his accustomed occu- patton, snatched, as it were, from the very jaws of death In many other cases we have admins tered the Balsam to the consumptive, and always with the best of success. These statements are simple facts. which can be vouched for at any time by calling on me at my store.
 remain yours truly, JOHN. B. DARLING.
