1t Is quite probable that an act will be
passed for taking the census of the State
The Congressional aspirants are fearful lest
there should be but little effort made in the

would, in making new apportionment of

and for our own purposes. Perhaps each
State would like to do likewise.

lips nor septum of the nose, and the upper
Jaw was separated and deficient of the entire
roof of the mouth from the palate to where
the lips should have been, presenting chasm
wherein the nose and mouth were but com

borrowing and transplanting of the tissues
from the surrounding parts, succeeded IN
making good shaped nose and very re,
spectacle upper lip. The child is doing re-
niarkably WE'LL having endured the painful

III the blue heavens above, in the smiling
earth beneath, and in the social world a
round, you will find full scope for the exer-
else of your noblest faculties, and field
ample enough for the widest range of inven-

rived any truth, nor art any invention, nor
religion any bulwark, nor humanity any boon

the caverns of the invisible world, and at
tempting to storm the awful and impregnable
