.he assurance that Ga rose by any other
name would smell az sweet" All which
may be. A rose, though called cab
bage, would undoubtedly retain all its
original fragrance, and a cabbage, though
called q rose, would still make good sauer
kraut. Yet, that there is in the breasts
of some a welldefned belief that all names
are not as one, but, on the contrary, that
a certain euphony of sound when spoken
snd agreeab!eness of character when writ
ten and general appropriateness when used
in any manner OF form which mark some
names are utterly wanting in others, is
evinced by the following advertisement
copied from a county paper:
"Notics.-The petition of John Devil, OF
Cambria county, has been filed in the Court
of Common Pleas of said county, praying tnat
his name be changed to John Is. HdTney,
which said petition will be presented to the
Judges of said Court on the second Monday
of December next, for Decree &c.
The Devil may not be as black as he Is
painted, yet there is this, at least, in a
name, that no one wants to claim connec-
ton for life with an ill-starred combina-
ton of letters which must be q perpetual
conjurer-up Of ideas connected with fire,
and brimstune, and CALLING chains, and all
that aort Of thing. The petition ought to
be granted.

The first number of the Temperance
Vindicotor, Published at williamsburg,
Blair county, By DR.. James P. Thompson,
has just been issued. The following is an
extract from it's columns:
''TAe Handscriting on the WaH-We call
the attention of the retailers of liquid dam
nation, and the lecherous suckers who bask
and bloat at their dianolical fountains, 10
| the laconiC device at our masthe thead-'PRoHI-
| BITIoN.' 1t is the handwriting on the wall
| the determined fiat already pronounced by
| the tenn perance people of Pennsylvania, and
well may the Redeemed faces Of the baccha-
nalian Belshazzers pale, and their turgid
knees sn1ite together, at the prospect Of the
coming drought"
The Doctor, in his combat With the
demon intemperance, has evidently adop-
ted the Chinese mode of warfare. He
sounds his gong vigorously and most te:
rifyingly, and uses more and stronger
adjectives that Father Mathew, John b.
Cough aad Horace Greely combined.
A THIEF CAUGuT.% For several weeks
past, the proprietots OF the "Mountain
House" in this place have missed Valu-
ables, in the shape of money, cigars, and
