The FERRY QUEsrIoN-The members of
the city council have done themselves some
credit, at st,by clearly and unanimously ex-
pressing the will of the people on the ferry
question. Every member of the council
texcept Alderman Jacob r. Huber, and he
is known to be right on the question: was
present, and without one dissenting voice
they all agreed to the resolutions, and re-
quested c. n. Osborn Esq the city attorney,
twho was going to Springfield today to take
a certified copy of the resolutions. and deliver
them TO Senator Webster, and Representa-
tive Coe. Mr.. Osborn left for Springfield
this morning. Another large petition from
the people was also sent by him to Senator
Webster, asking him to carry out the views
expressed by resolutions in the public meet
ing, at the court house.
The ferry question is now in good, shape
and the matter so plainly laid before Sena'
tor Webster that he can have no sort Of
doubt as to the will of the people on the sub
ject. If he hears to the people he will post
pone any further action on the charter til
the next legislature meets. There is an eft
fort, however, through the Union, and by
letters, to bring party pressure to bear on
the Senator and compel him to carry the
charter through in defiance of the will of the
people. Whether this viii succeed or not
remains to be seen. We do not believe he
can be thus controlled, when the interests o
the whole town are to suffer thereby-bu
we are content to wait and see. The matter
is in his hands, and on him viii rest the re
sponsibility.

An ERReR.--The Unioa, in defending the
ferry monopoly, and going against the inter
ests of the people Of this city in order to sus-
tain partisan institution, says "the running
Of the beat is as prompt and frequent as any
one seems to wish.' The running of the
boat is not as prompt and frequent as neces-
sary, but the running off to tow RATS and do
other jobs, is good deal more frequent than
people wish, and causes much Inconvenience,
delay and annoyance. The ferry is not an
institution for towing RATS up and down the
river, and the running of. with q load of
teams and passengers to do outside jobs has
been the cause of great complaint. The
idea that no persons but the poor heirs of
John Wilson can run good ferry is rather
ridiculous. There are plenty of people in
this city who can do it much better than it is
now done. Ia a-

WA. TEAT was brought before Esq. Wage
ner, to-day, Tuesday on a charge Of adul-
terry, and plead guilty. His bail was fixed
at $500. Not having sureties present, he
was handed over to the sheriff for safe keep
ing, to await his trial at the next May term
of circuit court. y...r,.
In our article Yesterday, our allusion to
sending him to the penitentiary was based
upon the supposition that he would be ar
raigned for bigamy. As the case now stands
he win probably be able to get bail and leave
and that will probably be the end of the
matter
While the sheriff was on the way to Jail
with his prisoner, he permitted Constable
Flanagan to arrest him, take him out of his
hands and take him before Esq. Marx, on a
capias, for debt. Mr.. Teat paid the debt
and was then taken to Jail By the sheriff. =
1t was wrong in the sheriff to permit this
He might as well permit constable to go
inside the Jail, arrest a prisoner for debt, and
take him out of his hands.

Gently, and promises very soon to
revolutionize the I straw
goods business. This is a Modena
hat The material is a secret. The
hats are made in perfect imitation of
straw, of any desired shape, are
strong and water proof, and can be
manufactured at about half the cost
of straw goods. ALREADY these hats
are quite popular with the ladies, as
the shape, once fixed, is preserved
despite all changes Of weather. Some
very beautiful patterns are produced,
and any shape into which straw is ca
pable of being fashioned can be imi-
tated with this material. The de-
mand for this new style is so great al

were dining at Herndon, gale blew

was fearful to those afraid of the
draft. What was to be done? No
hat was big enough-no time to put

the galet too fierce to tack up the cur
tain, and all the while the guests
taking cold Mr.. Train was equal
to it. He gave one of Thad. Stevens

electric, the wind was stopped, the
guests were happy, the negro delight

ciated by the steward; he objected,
said the waiter was wanted; damn

genius was not appreciated, got mad

LOST TIME.-Let any man pass an
evening In vacant idleness, or even in
reading some silly tale, and compare
the state of his mind when be goes to
sleep, or gets up next morning, with
Its state some other day, when he has
spent few hours in going through
the proofs, by facts and reasoning, of
some of the great doctrines in nat
ural science, learning truths wholly
new to him, and satisfying himself, by
careful examination. of the grounds
on which known truths rest, so as to
be not only acquainted with the
doctrines of themselves, but able
to show why he believes and
to prove before others that
they are true, will find as great a
difference as can exist in the same
being-the difference between looking
back upon time unproftably wasted
and time spent in self-improvement.

A Cold i'm the Head.

A DIR. Palion, of St. Foy, France,
has discovered new method of cur
ing the malady of New England, cold
in the head. Herewith is the pre-
scription: @
+" 1t consists in inhaling through
the nose the emanations of ammonia
contained in smelling bottle. 1.-THE
sense of smell is completely obliter-
ated, the bottle should be kept under
the nose until the pungency of the
volatile alkali is felt. The bottle is
then removed, but only to be reap
piled in minute; the second appli-
cation, however, should not be so
long, that the patient may bear it.
This easy operation being repeated
seven or eight times In the course of
five minutes, but always very rapidly,
except the first time, the nostrils be-
come free. the sense of smell is re-
stored, and the secretion of the irri-
tating mucous is stopped. This rem
edy is said to be peculiarly advan-
tageous to singers"
