PAPER1NG RooAs.-The Scientific
american remarks that many lives have
been lost from the laziness or ignorance
of paper hangers, who have laid one pa
per above another, instead of tearing off
the old before hanging the new. There
was a very handsome house near one of
our provincial towns, which could never
keep its tenants. At last it stood empty
and became worthless, because detest-
able fever seized upon every family that
lived in it. A ready-witted observer
promised the owner to find out the
cause. He traced the mischief to one
room, and presently conjectured what
was the matter there. He let a slip of
glass into the wall, and found it next
day dimmed with fGtid, condensed va
por. lie tore dewn strip of paper,
and found abundant csuse for any
amount Of fever. For generations the
walls bad been papered afresh, without
the removal of anything underneath.
And there was the putrid size and the
fomenting old papers inches deep! A
thorough clearance, scraping and clean
ing put an end to the fever, and restored
the value of the house.

The Times, With it's usual meauness
to the slave States, attempts to
show their loss is greater than the
other sections, or at least to give the
impression, when in fact by its own
figures, it appears that the slaves States
will have eighty-two Representatives,
with loss of only seven-being little
over onc-twelfth of their whole number,
while the Middle States, including New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, will lose in the precise same
ratio; and the six New England States
will lose one sixth of the whole number,
being just tpice the ratio of the loss ip
the slave States.
Figures, it is said, 'never lie ;" but GER
taiuly there is nothing easier than to
produce false impression by them. 1t
appears, also, that We shall have eleven
States, with over one million people
each-six Of them North and FIVE South.
That we will have three with over two
millions of population, and one with
nearly four milions-all of them North.
The population of the North will be
l9,O9O,000, The population Of the
South, 12,lsO,OOo. The population Of
the Territories will be $4,000.
The Western States have of course
increased most rapidly, and Illinois most
of all. The following table will show
the estimated population of each State

The Adjournment.

At 10 o'clock to-day, the eighth Gen.
eral Assembly closed its labors and ad-
jouIned. A vast amount of business
has necessarily been done during the
last days and evenings of session 60
plethoric with bills, and we fear many
OF them have been passed without that
strict scrutiny which was demanded.
Radicalism and change is stamped upon
nearly every measure. The County Judge
has been deposed, and the Supervisor
system created instead-much to the
discontinue of Judge Hall, who ha.
defended the old regime ably if not sue
cessfully. The munifcent grant of land
to aid in the construction Of Railroad
from the Mississippi to the Missouri has
been diverted from the hands Of the first
recipients to those Of another company.
Important changes hsvo been made in

benefit of both themselves and the
