Thousands Of Dollars Saved Annually in the
Consumption of Oils, and Breakage

of Glass Chimneys.
The Crescent Generator gives light equal in
effect to the best Coal Oil Burners with chimney
of corresponding sizes, and will consume much
less and save a considerable per cent. in the
cost of Oils, as compared with the Chimney Lamp.
They are more simple in construction than the
Coal Oil Burner, and are not encountered with
the Thumb Screw and Rachel wheel attached,
yet are nicely arranged to burn any size light
desired, even the Smallest Taper, and will stand
Stronger Current Of Air than any other Lamp,
without liability to be blown out. 1t is o well
known fact that the breakage, expense, and an
noyance in keeping up the ordinary Glass Chin

of every family in the land. The Crescent Gen

is not liable to get of ORDER and will be found
always Safe, Convenient and Cheap. To see it.

Too LATE.-Some extreme Radical jour
nails, says the Statesman, which never breath
ed tolerant thought in their lives, are now,
since the Virginia and Tennessee elections,
intoxicating the virtue of Cancellation tits a
good thing, but we know what it means, com
ing from their lips. It is simply the slime of
the serpent, seeking to Intricate the prey
that he finds he can swallow in no other way
1t is too late for these old reprobates to pro
fess repentance. They mayjust as we'll keep
on in their old proscriptive, malignant, per-
scouting spirit. AS far as they are concern
cd, their political opponents, who have been
refused quarter, intend to show none.

Loving Byethren.-Fronn the following
account of areeent occurrence in Litchfield
county, Connecticut, we may gather how
lovingly the sects fraternize:
a man, belonging to the Congregational
church, lost child, but as his church was
some distance away he applied to the sexton
of an Episcopal church close by TO toll the
bell.IT he rector, who had reeeRsly been
installed over the church, forbade it. Some
gentlemen, determining it should be tolled,
went to the church, md finding it locked,
got inat window, when the rector ordered
them out. They declined to go, and sue
ceeded in having the bell tolled in spite of
the Inconsistencies of the Clergyman to the
contrary. In the first place, the rector
erred in not permitting the beh to be tolled
at the funeral of the child of his neighbour.
In the second place, the vigilance committee
who took the law Into their own hands, and
forcibly entered achurch over which they
had no lawful control, committed worse
and more reprehensible error. Their CON
duct was in violation Of law.

denounced the editor of the Journal of The

injustice done to the redoubtable Senator in
published reports Of his speeches. Abbott
having assumed the authorship of the Post
article, the editor of the Journal organized
himself into an attacking force, with the
avowed Intention Of carrying Abbotts works
on sight. Although Abbott was the party
awaiting attack, it so happened that he was
first arrested, and thus secured, of course,
from assault. He had himself put under
bonds to keep the peace, which there is no
danger of his breaking except by words
The editor Of the Journal, however, avoided
arrest for two or three DAYS, when he also
was placed under bonds. lie, however, left
the state, and went across the line into South
Carolina, and addressed Abbot in these
words "Iou must now make full retrac.
ton Of the contents of that article, and
apologize for publishing it, or give me the
satisfaction to which | am entitled in &C.
cordance with the code of honor" Sena.
tor Abbott recognized the code, and as soon
as practicable after receiving the above in.
vitation to become target for a pistol bul.
let, the following appeared in the POST
"By the authority of Gen. Abbott, and in
his name, We retract in full the article in
the Post of the Sth instant, rejecting on
Major Englshard, and express our regret it
was written and published" Thus the
Senator's hot words were cooled by rehec.
ton, and he is ready to resume his seat in

full submission to the southern code of hon.
