A. CARD.

A NIndependent Ticket is announced in this
N county, which purports to have been nom
mated at Towsontown, on Monday, October 9Th,
with Nelson Cooper as Candidate for Sheriff.
1t can be proven by several reliable gentlemen
that Mr.. Cooper was nominated for TREASUR
ER oil that day, and thatno Convention or pub
lie meeting of any hind was held since then to
change that nomination, 50 that the statement
that Mr.. Cooper was nominated for Sheriff on
the above day is not correct.

to the Shaksperian Museum at that
place-the skull Of Ben Johnson
This friend had attended the funeral
Of DR.. -, at Winchester Abbey,
when he perceived thatthe next grave
that Of Ben Johnson-had been
opened, and he could see the skele-
ton Of the body in the coffin. He
could not resist the opportunity of
putting in his hand and extracting
the skull, which he placed under his
cloak, and thus carried il of. From
a remark which the blind gentleman
dropped. DIR. Richardson thought he
could identify the offender, and he
asked if the persons initials did not
consist of certain letters. The blind
gentleman, who was not little start
led at finding his secret was out, ad-
mitted the facts, but prayed that no
advantage might be taken of the dis
covery. This was promised, but as
DR.. Richardson is an ardent admirer
of the Avonian bard, he is determined
that, without going to cxtromotics, he
will bring the necessary pressure to
bear on the posscssor of the skull, so
that il shall be placed in mere wor-
thy repository than the cabinet of au
obscure individual.

Good Nature.

Good nature is one Of the best
things in the possession of man.
When it is constitutional, it is in.
valuable. How many evils it
bears and hence avoids them, and
their consequences. But good na.
ture may be cultivated. The mos
is to begin. Perseverance will
soon get up a habit-.and then the
thing is easy. A good-naturel
man has few enemies, from neccs,
sity; and to have enemies is not
only dangerous, but very uncom.
Portable. Good nature is Christi
anity, the best of things among
men, Us all the wise men of the
world, and the greatest of them,
have advocated. To cultivate
Christianity. All! how unwise
we are not to heed this thing =
Not that We do not know it; but
it is so hard TO mortiy self; it is
SO hard to suffer to get good. 1t
is however the way. We must
work ii We succeed, if wo would
become eminent. And in the
great Improvement of tho ase,
this is one of the things that must
keep pacc-thc cultivation of a
good heart-goou nature

The Cholera.

In a report made by DIR. Edwin M.
Snow Of Providence, Rhode Island,
to the board Of Aldermen, of that city,
the Doctor says
"The cholera cannot prevail as an
epidemic without the presence Of a
certain mysterious condition Of the
atmosphere. OF this atmospheric
condition little is known; but it is
known that its presence or absence
is not affected or regulated in the
slightest possible degree, by quaran-
tine measures. Vessels may have the
cholera on board, and may land their
sick on our shores but the disease
will never become epidemic, nor spread
among the people, until this mysteri-
Gus atmospheric condition is present.
But that atmospheric cause may come
and may be present, and the disease
may spread opidemically, without any
connection with the arrival of vessels
from ports whero the disease exists.
The causes of cholera are, first, the
atmospheric condition of which We
spoke; and second local conditions
OF filth and impure air The disease
cannot prevail without the combined
presence of these two causes. The
first cause is beyond human control ;
il advances aud recodcs in obedience
to the laws of which we know moth
ing it crosses continents and oceans,
as freely as the winds of heaven, and
il would be as reasonable to attempt
