Division of this Circuit.

A bill has been introduced into the
Senate by Senator Pore, to attach St.
Croix and Pierce counties to the 18th
upper Judicial Circuit. There is no
doubt but this change should be made.
and the only question is as to the time
of doing it.
The movement at this time is consider
ed by some as personal drive Al Judge
WETHERBY. We do not believe such a
feeling is at all general. Judge Wether
by differs politically from the majority in
these counties, but he is esteemed as a
man and respected as a judge, and we
do not believe that any considerable
number of men are DESTROYS of making
the division on his account.
If for the reason we have mentioned
the bill is defeated this session, we hone
1t will pass at the next, to take effect a,
the expiration Of Judge Wetherby's term.
These two counties belong in the 18th
Circuit, and will eventually go there.

The TOmah and So. CrOix IL. R +.

Mr.. FULToN has introduced into the
Assembly bill comforting on the To-
man & ST. Croix R. r. Co. the addition.
al grant Of land, four sections in width
on the line of the road.
The feeling in this county on this mat
ter may be briefly stated as follows. We
want the road built; to come here if pos
sible. if not, to go on the more northern
route. But many of our citizens have
bonoht lands on the line of the old sur
vey; they have paid the Government the
enhanced price. AMI believe they have
fairly acquired rights to be considered;
and they know that the present Co. is
determined 10 build the road on a new
line, which does not touch Pierce county
at all.
Again, the present Co. has not means
10 build the road they have already for
feited their charter; and our citizens be-
leve it would be best to have the State
hold the grant until some Go. applies
for it which is able to build the road, and
then give it 10 such Co. unincu,nbered.

Sweet Susan Brown! my pretty one
I'm sure you must remember.
If not for love- at least for fun

When all the bellies. and all the beaux
In spite Of frosts would GO forth,
And squeeze beneath the butfaloes.
Each others hands. DC.
How brightly streamed the Northern Lights,
Above the snowy ridges
How Pleasant we're the wintry nights,
Observed from country bridDesi
Where ton was sought with such address,
And laughter loud would peal forth.
While lovers felt amid the press, 49,
Each others hearts, DC.
lis very singular and queer,
OF all the mad devices,
Loves flame should burn so bright and clear.
On fuel formed of ices;
And yet we own its flame. indeed.
Most brilliantly would glow forth.
When famed behind flying stecd, :.
Hid under furs, &c.
l'm sure you mind the village inn
The supper and the reyel.
How. in the general dire and din.
Love shot his arrows level;
And don't forget how Henry Kidd
Embraced you ere he went forth,
You kissed his lips. you know you did.
He squeezed your hand, DC.
And when the forteits all were paid.
How one old maid resisted.
Until the younger ladies cried,
A prude they all detss,ed.
Desist T. she cried-the ancient Ann
Her modesty to show forth.
"Ill never yield to any man
My virgin lips" DC.
The wintry winds the homevard way.
Blew chilly in our faces,
Put under meath our furs we lay.

Her innocence to show FORTH
But showed her curls all out Of place.
Her collar gone, DC.
And then the parting at the door
Its tender muial bliss.s
Sweet lips from their abundant store,
Gave to the poo, in kisses
The parting word--the long embrace,
As Cupid's arrows shot forth.

And raised his hopes, dc.

States that Allow Negroes TO Vote.

There are only two States in the Union
where The negroes are allowed 10 vote with
on: properly qualification. They are
Vermont and New Hampshire, the fofmef
of whom has only eighty voters, and The
latter l60. in Massachusetts every voter
must, within two years, have paid State or
county tax, unless excused from taxation.
la Rhode Island a voter must own real
estate OF one hundred and thirty four dollars
value, or OF the clear yearly value of seven
dollars over any ground rent
A collored person is not allowed 10 vote
in New York unless he has residedl in the
Stale three years, and is freeholder in val
ne of Two hurdred and fifty dollars, and
paid taxes thereon.
Massachusetts, which does not al home
allow any man 10 vote who has not paid a
State or county tax directly, for they all pay
ii indirectly, is very DESTROYS that the South
ern States shall allow negroes 10 vote with
out such discrimination. She goes in for
universal black suffrage at the South while
denying it 10 her poor whites at home
This is Massachusetts philanthropy, or
preference for negro 10 white.

There is much nou rishment in fish, little
less thar The Sulcher's meat, weight for

fish is more easily digested. Moreover,
there is in fish substance which does not
exist in the flesh of land animals, viz. TO-
dine-a substance which may have a beE-
e6cial effect 10 the health, and tend to pre-
vent the production of scroiulousness and
tubercular disease, the latter in the form of
pulmonary consumption, one Of the most
cruel and fatal which The civilized, highly
educated ard refined are afflicted with

ueous parts little inferior 10 The several
