THE PRINTERS Estate.-The printers dollars-where are they? A dollar here, and dollar there, scattered over numerous small towns all over the country, miles and miles apart-how shall they be gathered to gether? The paper maker, the building owner, the journeyman compositor, the grocer, the tailor, and all his assistants in carrying on his business have their demands, hardly ever so small as a single dollar. But the mites from here and there must be diligently gathered and patiently hoarded, or the wherewith to dis charge the liabilities will never become sui ficiently bulky. We imagine the printer will have to get up an address to these widely scattered dollars something like the folloingw: ,,, ss.,Dallars, halves, quarters, dimes, and all manner UT i1'-~'.- :: 4, ,uhi ich ve are divi ded, collect yourselves, and come home Ye are wanted! Combinations of all sorts of men that help the printer to become a proprietor, gather such force and demand with such good reasons your appearance at his counter, that nothing short of sight of you will appease them. Collect your selves for valuable as you are in the aggre- gate, single you will never pay the cost of gathering. Come in here, in single, file, that the printer may form you into battal- ions, Land send you forth again, to battle for him and vindicate his credit.
 Reader, are you sure you haven't cou- pie of the printers dollars sticking about your Gold clothes?'

CONGREGATIONAL SNeNa.-We quote the following from the Boston Musical Times. It seems to come from the heart of some musician who has had experience among singing congregations:
 "We all have voices, and we may be told, we ought to use them; so we all might have violins, and hautboys, and flutes; we might take them all to church. along with our voices. Of course, the fact that we none of us know how to play these instruments would be no argument against their use. We could do our best; very few of congregation have the remotest idea how to use their voices; but they do their best A whole congregation playing on flutes, and clarionets, and violins, each on his own responsibility, would not be an iota more absurd, save for custom, than the present system of singing, without knowing one note from another. Let us have good music in our churches or none at all.

REBUKNa AN APosTATE.-The Legislature of
Wisconsin last year passed resolutions declar-
ing that Senator Doolittle was misrepresenting
the sentiment of the people of that State in
the United States Senate, and calling upon him
to resign but the apostate Senator affected to
believe that the Legislature did not reflect the
desire of the people since then, however, the
people have pronounced directly upon the mat
ters in issue, and the Madison Journal in report
ing the action of the recently elected representa-
tives, says 1.-THE Assembly to-day, by the
emphatic vote of seventy-three to twenty-one,
adopted the resolutions offered by Mr.. Dyer, of
Racine, instructing Senator Doolittle to resign.
Every member of that body elected by the party
which sent Judge Doolittle to the United States
Senate, voted for the resolutions. They also
received the support of Mr.. Claysou, of Mil
waukee, an independent Democrat and former
ly one of the publishers of the News. Further
more, was not a voice of remonstrance against
the passage of the resolutions raised by the
twenty-one Democrats present, aside from their
quiet votes in the negative. Indeed, it was very
apparent, by the conduct of the minority, that
while, for political reasons, they did not choose
to place themselves on the record in favor of the
resolutions, they would be entirely satisfied to
see his seat vacated. None of them had any
thing to utter in his behalf"
