AN IGNORANT TEACHEP.

The Bee, although protested teacher
Of the people, is ignorant of both the
law and the customs Of this State. It
testifes that Governor Warmoth meas
ures tie work and approves the bills OF
the State printer. OF course this is not
true. The law does not require it, and
the State printer does not submit to it.
A little more knowledge on the subject,
Mr.. Bee, and some attempt to conceal
your unreasonable bitterness, would make
you less ridiculous.

Civilization is making some headway
Among the Indians. On many of the reser-
vations the counting Of wives is now carried
on in the same way as among the whites,
the marriage ceremony is performed before
a missionary or an Indian agent, and the
wedding certificate is taken, framed, and
preserved carefully. Only one wife is
allowed, and no price is demanded by the
parents or given by the husband.

her eyes, gives her face an undesirable

Its extinction as an evil almost as great AZ

DISCOVERY OF A New STIMULANT.--
The London Pharmaceutical Journal
publishes paper by Mr.. Cooke, describ
ing the properties of the Guarana, the
seeds of a tree termed the Paulina sor
bills, belonging to the order Sapindacee
and abundant in the province of the Am
azonas. The fruit is scarcely as large as
a walnut, and contains five or six seeds
which are roasted, then mixed with wa
ter and moulded into cylindrical form
resembling large sausage, and finally
dried in an oven. Before using, it is
grated into powder resembling powder.
ed cacao. Two spoonfuls of the powder
are mixed in a lumber of water, and
this drink is regarded as stimulant to
the nerves, and, like strong tea or coffee,
is said to take away the disposition to
sleep. The active chemical principal
is an alkaloid which DR.. Stenhouse has
shown to be identical with theme. Guar
ana contains more than double as much
of this alkaloid as good black tea, and
five times as much as coffee, the proper
ton being 5.07 per cent in Guarana.

in the field wherein he was believed to
be without peer. John Il. Read is the
name of the party who has attained to
an Immortality Of impotence. The pat
entee of projectile, he worked diligent-
ly on his invention till 1861. when. on
the breaking out Of the war, he Joined
the confederate service, and, under that
government, took out letters patent
The projectiles were used largely by the
confederate armies. 1t is here Read
achieves Immortality. He re files his
letters patent, with an application for an
extension, while, on their face is the seal
of the confederate states attesting the
fact above mentioned The application
is of course, refused. But Read is not
content with simple refusal. and there
fore modestly inquiries of the commiss-
Toner of patents if it is indeed true, as
he has heard, that he is refused an ex-
tension on account of his services in the
confederacy. The answer returned is to
the point "That is just the reason, ex.

The Republicans of New Hampshire
appear thus far to have made good NOM
nations. The nomination of james
Pike for governor is well received
Throughout the State. In the third dis
trict the nomination of Gen. Griffin Of
Keene, is probably the strongest one for
the district The resolutions are very
lengthy but sound. The republicans Of
the old Granite State never fail to take
progressive ground and then fight their
battles to successful issue. They have,
as usual. started their campaign hand
somely, and good report may be ex-
pected of them in March.

SPURIOUS FIFTY CENT CURRENCY
There is new fifty-cent currency coun-
terfeit that is we'll calculated to deceive.
The red and blue fiber in the paper of
the genuine are initiated by printing in
the counterfeit, the long beard of Secre-
tary Stanton is darker, and the figures
so on the right hand are surmounted by
solid black lines instead of fine lines, as
in the genuine. On the reverse the coun-
terfeit may be distinguished by the as "

encircling the large oval to the next,
and also by the absence of the shading
and the fine lines around the " 50' in
the corners.

that it is no use for them to advertise,
that they have been in one place of bust

take into consideration that our country

per cent. every ten years, and no matter
how old the place may be, there are con.

to other parts, and strangers fill theil

SHOCKING CoAsrINe AocIpENr.-A

SHOCKING CoAsrING AocIDENT-A
most shocking coasting accident occurr-
ed in Manchester, N. H., on Thursday
evening Of last week. A party of young
men and girls we're amusing themselves
by coasting in the moonlight down Stark
street, which leads from Elm street, near
the City Hall, to Canal street. The low
err end of the street is quite steep, A
young man named Patrick Fleming and
a young girl named Harriet b. Halleck
We're coasting together upon one sled,
and passed rapidly across Canal street
over upon the track of the Concord
Railroad, at point opposite the count
ing room of the Amoskeag Mills. Just
before they reached the track the north
ern s o'clock up express approached and
struck the sled and its occupants. The
body of the girl was shockingly man
gled, and she was instantly killed. Her
head was completely severed from her
body and thrown upon the track. The
remainder of the body was borne about
three rods further, and the train passed
over it. The young man was thrown
upon one side of the track, and one of
his legs was completely cut off from his
body. His head and other portions of
his. body were badly bruised. He re-
tains his consciousness, and it is now
thought by the surgeons that he will re-
cover. He is the son of Mr.. James Flem-
ing, who resides upon Church street. He
worked at the Stark Mills, and is about
twenty years of age. The unfortunate
girl is the daughter of Mrs. Halleck, the
widow of the late John Hallock of New
Jersey. She was fourteen years of age.
The mother and daughter came to that
city from Gloucester. New Jersey, in
September last. The poor mother was
thrown into an agony of grief on hear
ing of her bereavement
