OF March 10th; says:
"Hhe intenSe5t excitement pre-
walls here ut this moment over
the startling discovery of the COM
mencement Of an astounding ply s.
ical convuls4on. Bald Mountain,
in the western part of this State,
is in a state Of volcanic eruption.
PeoLle who have recently arrived
here state that the farm houses
and cottages along the sides and
the base Of the mountain have
been thrown down by the rock
ing Of the great mass to It's toun-
dation Many of the inhabitants
lied in fear and terror to seek safe
ty elsewhere from the CONFUSION.
A thin vapor issues from the top
of the mountain, and an upheav-
al of fire and lava is hourly eX-
pected.
There is low rumbling sound
of mighty volume constantly
audible over the entire surface OF
themountain."

Effect Of Railroad Sub
scriptiOn.

The following interesting ed
itorial article from the Paris
(Tenn.) MteLigencer will attract
attention. What town has done
so much in so short time, and
that, too, in the midst Of the
money pressure?
"OW town subscription was
voted in September, and very
soon after that, the handsomest
block of buildings to be found
in any interior town in Tennes-
see, filling one entire side Of the
public square, was erected I'M
der the expectation that this
road would be put under con-
tract at the earliest day posi-
BILE, and that the business Of
the town would be largely in
creased. If the Directors will
90 to work at once, the most
sanguine expectations Of our
people will be more than real
lied.
1--WE know that the theory of
many is, that the panic would
very much postpone the build
ing Of the road. But the best
thing that could be possibly
done in this section to relieve
the pressure Of the times, would
be to begin the work oil the
road at once, and the money ex-
pended in the county by build
ing the road would Immediately
relieve the pressure. If the
contracts are let out this spring,
(Which we think will be done,
the farmers can take the contract
themselves, receiving a part of
their pay in money, and taking
stock for the remainder, and thus
enough means would at once be
realized to build theroad through
the county. Let. the bonds be
issued and sold, and the money
expendedin the county, and we
are not only relieved Of the mon
ey panic, but get the road put
into operation at once. Every
working man, mechanic and
farmer, as we'll as the merchants
and professional men, will feel
the relief at once. and times
again be easy. Now let the
friends of the road come up to
the aid of the Directors"

At Xenia and Plymouth, Ohio,

The causes OF divorce under the

extreme and repeated cruelty, the
attempt OF one party to take life

The New Hampshire E.
lection.

the Democrats, IN the New llamp
shire election on the 10th instant.
is not a matter Of surprise to
any one who has noticed the
waning power of the Republican
leaders to control public senti.
ment. The utter disregard of
party pledges Of reform, and the
bold and INSCRIPTIONS abuse of
power for selfish personal ends, that
daily more and more characterize
the heretofore trusted leaders of
the Republican party, have caus-
ed, among the masses of that par.
ty, want of confidence in them,
and determination to displace
from power those who have prov
ed recreant to their trust.
The issue in New Hampshire
was a fair and square contest be-
tween the two great national par.
ties, and the Republicans have
been driven to the wall. The in.
telligent voters of that party
have trusted aud have been de.
ceived SO often that forbearance
has ceased to be virtue. and in
New Hampshire, at least, the PEG.
PIE have protected, by their votes,
and with good effect too, against a
onger continuance of misgovern-
ment and corruption.
Some Of the Republican jour
nails are inclined to lay the blame
of this New Hampshire defeat
upon the broad shoulders of Cen
eral Butler, whose political chica-
merry, in the matter Of contest
for collector Of the port of Boston
was more than match Tor the
other Massachusetts politicians;
but the real cause lies deeper and
beyond any single act Of his. 1t
is the outspokcn verdict of a
long. suffering people against the
extravaganza and corruption OF
Republican rule, as eXempliiied
in every department of the ieder-
al government. ard in favor of a
return TO an economical aud hon
st administration OF public at
lairs. We are inclined to believe
that it is the sober second thought
OF an aroused indignant people,
and that the reaction, so happily
commenced in the old Granite
State, will spread wider and wi,
der, until the last defence OF Rad
icalism will be sweep away before
the resistless tide of popular opin
ION.
The Boston Adrcrtjscr, (Rdd-
icaO remarkins upon the result
of the New Hampshire election,
says:
After making all allowances
for the special and local distur-
Dances which prevail to some en-

The Footprints Of Time.

Wrinkles are the first tell tales Of j, iust
youth, and the wrinkles make their way
in very stealthy m amer At first there
coues the faint marking Of one little line
about tie corner Of the eye. and one at
each corner Of the mouth. Assure1ly it
is the sign Of approaching age, We say,
complacently, looking at ourselves IN the
glass, CONSCIOUS of our attractions IN the
perfection of their maturity. That little
line, indicative of the furrowed future, Is
no more age than the one scarlet leaf ot
the maple in the midst Of the green wood
in autumn. It is the shadow of the
herald if you will; but it is not the real
thing. And soon with all the rest. But
it is not so with our friends. The gap
made between the past and present by
years of absence Is abrupt, unexpected.
Y ou lett a blooming, sleek haired slim
WASTED girl; you find failed. hollow eyed,
woman the mother of children, afflicted
with bad health and tired of life Or YOU
encounter stout snd flori1 matron whose
bulk is burden to herself and matter
not for admiration to her friends; whose
early shyness has worn off and given
place to a free and-easy good nature that
may De E0ntdt Out Is NufSdr, whose SiFiiSn
sentimentality has gone with her bushes,
and who now openly proclainls her devo-
ton to champagne and lobster salad as
among the few things in life worth taking
trouble for, and talks of the pleasures OF
the palate as superior 20 every other
enjoyment. To be sure, pairing away in
your minds eve those superfuous layers
of flesh, you can make out the nose OF the
past, and the lips have the same curve as
hers had in the days when you would have
given a months salary for a kiss; the
eyes are the same color, but what has
become of their sparkle? Where is that
roguish twinkle that made your heart
leap when it flashed upon you, giving
point to girlish sauciness that was SO
innocent and she thought was so naughty?
Where is that dewy downcast look that
was so conscious where there was nothing
to blush for? Is it that ugly leer which
tells of less tenderness of sentiment than
you would ike to see even in a man
You must accept this as the survival;
it is all you will have of the sweetness,
the b lshfulness that once seemed to you
the most exquisite grace on earth.
