THE, LEaIsLATURE.--The proceed
ings in this body, yesterday, were
with one exception utterly devoid Of
interest. The resolutions offered by

abilities Of all the people of this
State, were taken from the table
(where they had been ordered to lie,)
and referred to q special committee,
consisting of Whittemore, Jilson,

An exchange says there is no need
of buying umbrellas They can
easily be procured without, thusly:
Take your stand in q doorway on Oh" o
rainy day; as soon as you see a man
with a nice umbrella, step up, and
say to him: "Sir, I beg your pardon,
but you have my umbrella" 4" Nine
times in ten, he will surrender it, for
how does he know that it was not
you that he stole it from! .ai z

MosoUTroEs.-These little plaques
are now becoming quite furious in
their assaults on mankind. We
think, therefore, that we will repress
many bad adjectives, and deserve
well of our fellow-sufferers, by pub
fishing the following simple means of
driving them from the room:
"Take of gum camphor. O piece
about one-third the size of an egg,
and evaporate it by placing it in a
tin vessel, and holding it over O lamp
or candle, taking care that it does
not ignite. The smoke will soon fill
the room and expel the mosquitoes.
