Hg- Ginseng is a stimulant and a tonic. The Chinese ascribe 10 1t many wonderful properties, and though some of them wilh reason, the greater part is mere superstl- ton. As tonic II IS very superior. 10 smoke the clarified in a new, clean pipe, gives to the system most delicious feel ing. It is said to have all the sweetness and pleasant properties of the body-enli- vening and soul-destroying hasheesh, with none of it's hellshly baneful effects. IL aids digeston, and leaves the stomach renewed in strength instead of weakened and makes one feel, therefore, pleasantly good natured with himself and the rest oi the world.

 To cheer the heart by grief oppressea,, There's none hath power, it is confessed Than can compare to laughter. So, for each sorrow ye endure,
 Unless ye nourish it, be sure Ye have at hand an easy cure;
 Ha! ha! 'tis only laughter. Iris good for young, 'tis good for old; It is more precious far than gold; Then laugh as long as you can hold; Hurrah for jolly laughter!

There is a grocer in Pennsylvania, who is said to be so mean that he was seen to catch fly off his counter, hold him up by his hind legs, and look into the cracks of his feet to see if he hadn't been stealing some of his sugar.

CALLED In l6S2, Calico, then a youth of eighteen, was seated in the Cathedral at Pisa, when the lamps sus- pended from the roof were replensbed by the sacristan, who. in doing so, caused them to oscilate from side to side, as they had done hundreds of times before when similarly disturbed He watched the
 lamps, and thought he perceived that while the oscillations were diminishing, they still occupied the same time. The idea thus suggested never departed from from his mind, and fifty years afterwards he constructed the first pendulum, and thus gave to the world one of the most
 important instruments for the measure ment of time. Afterwards, when living at Venice, it was reported to him one day that the children of poor spectacle maker while playing with two glasses, had ob- served, as shey expressed 1t, that things were brought nearer by looking through them in a certain position. Everybody said how curious, but Calico seized the idea and invented the first telescope.

Among the latest ideas ard rascalities
put forth by modern democracy, is, that in
case a majority of the people of this coun'
try shall elect Republican president, they
lican shall assume the duties of president of
these United States, no mattor how fairly
he may be elected. This is exactly in keep
ing with the present democracy, both in
theory and in practice. 1t was carried out
in Kansas, where for long time, the people
of that territory were compelled to take up
arms in self-dclence, against not only the
against the federal government. But the
perseverance of the people has finally tri-
umphed, and Kansas, in spite OF slavery,
is likely TO become free State. As soon
as the House is organized, she will present
herself for admission, and we already hear
that the democratic slaveholding Senate
will resist her admission on some frivolous
excuse, but in reality because her electoral
vote would probably be cast for the Re.
publican candidate. This is in exact con-
sistency with the democratic policy ever
since Douglas introduced the Nebraska
bill.
Now, we say, if there are any traitors
North or South, il is the democracy who
deny the right of the majority to rule.
Their conduct is revolutionary and traitor
Gus, and should meet with the unqualified
rebuke of every independent freeman and
true patriot. They have not only laid their
schemes by which TO deprive the Republ;-
can party of the electoral vote of Kansas,
but have also entered into league against
the organization of the House. Forty dem
ocraiic members have signed pledge TO
resist the adoption of the plurality rule by
every system of fiillibustering in their pow
err. The present chaos into which our gov
eminent has been thrown, is therefore Who'll

Mrs. Chiiss's Letter.

Mn. EDITOR 81 am much pleased to no.
tice in Ike Times of the 20th, the letter Of
Mrs. Ma on and Mrs. Child's reply. The
irascible and vindctive spirit of the former
clearly evince that all the Devils did moi
enter the Gadarine swine, or if they did
some that were cast. out have found en-
trance elsewhere. And now, Mr.. Editor, /
would suggest the propriety of saying little
or nothing against Democracy and Slave
ry, they being synonymous terms, and give
US liberal extracts from their o,cn approved
organs, north and south, especially the lat
ter; and let the world judge them ont of
their o,cn mouth. And especially, all the
cases you can find room for, where northern
citizens are expelled from the slave States
while pursuing laudible business; and
others exiled from their homes, their prop
erty, and all they hold dear. for no alleged
crime, save that of holding the heretical
principles of the Patriots Of the Revolu-
ton, as familiar as household words, and al
most as sacred as holy writ We do not
expect any rebuke or one ac0rd of remon-
STRANGE from northern pro.slavery lips,
against this diabolical proceeding, nor shall

County Commissioner.

We briefly alluded to this subject last
week, principally called out by an article in
the Phenir. Some months since Mr.. Dan
irls, our present commissioner, informed us,
as he doubtless has others, that lie should
not be candidate for reelection. With
this understanding therefore it will be nec-
essary for the friends of temperance and
good order 10 cast about for successor.
The administration of our present commits
sioner we believe has given general salts
faction. at least quite as much so as it is
possible for any commissioner to do. and we
trust successor may be elected who will
do equally as well. Judge Wheelock has
been iavorably named as candidate. We
are inclined TO favor Judge w. also. He
is a fair and high-minled man, and would
doubtless make good commissioner. We
have not, however, the slightest disposition
TO forestall any nomination, and write this
simply to notify those who would not have
the food gates of rum let Loose in our coun.
| ~, (ihey are loose enough now,) to take
such measures as they may think proper TO
procure the nomination Of suitable man.

Mr.. SWAIN, Dear Sir Some of my

misrepresented in various parts of the

truth upon this subject, allow me through
your paper, publicly, to say: / never have
voted to release, and if elected, should not
vote to release Montpelier. In my iudg-
ment the resolution adopted by our con-
vention on the 9th inst should be fully car.
ried into effect. That resolution instructs
the Senators next 10 be elected from this
County, to resist the adoption of any mea-
sure or proposition by the General Assem-
bly,, contemplating the release Of the sign
ers of the bond given by certain citizens
of Montpelier, for the indemnify of the
State, against the expenses which may be
or have been incurred for the rebuilding
of the State-house at Montpelier and tc
resist all further appropriation for rebuild,
ing the State-house, except of such money
as may be paid into the treasury by the
