In consequence of the great stagnation ol trade in the manufacturing districts of England, through the war having cut off the supply of cotton, a large quantity of Valuable Jewelry, originally intended for the English market, has been sent off for sale in this country, and MUST BE SOLD AT ANY SAC RIFICE! Under these circumstance?, ARRAN DALE Co., acting as agents for the principal Eu ropean manufacturers have resolved upon a GREAT GIFT APPORTIONMENT, to l>e divided according to the following reguiations: Certificates of the various articles are put into en velopes indiscriminately, sealed up, and when order ed, are taken out without regard to choice, aud sent by mail, thus showing no favoritism. On receipt of the certificate, you will see wl.at you are to have, and then it is at your option to send the dollar and take the article or not. Purchasers may thus ob tain a Gold Watch, Diamond Ring, or any set of Jewelry on our list ror One Dollar. Send 25 cents fob Certificate. In all transactions by mail, we shall charge for* formarding the certificates, laying postage and do ing the business, 25 cents each, which must be en closed when the Certificate is sent for. Five certifi cates will be sent for $1, eleven for $2, thirty lor $5, sixty-five for 10, one hundred tor $15. WHAT THE "PRESS” SAY OF US. The Lafayette (Ind.) Daily Courier, Mar. 18, 1865, “A better selected, more varied or fashionable as sortment of jewelry cannot be found on the conti nent tlian Arrandale Co. are now offering. Messrs. Arrandale Co. occupy a high position in commer cial circles as mon entirely above the common tricke ry of trade. Their statements may be implicitly re lied upon, both as to the character of their goods and the manner of disposal. Ladies especially, in all parts of the country, are realizing handsome profits as agents, and if any of our fair readers desire to In terest themselves in the enterprise, they may do so with perfect confidence. Great Gift Distribution.—A rare opportuni ty is oflered for obtaining watches, chains, diamond rings, silver ware, etc., by Mess s Arrandale *Ss Co., at No. 167 Broadway. They have an immense stock of articles, varying in value, and all are oflered at one dollar each. The distribution is very fairly done— you agree to take a certificate of a certain article, en closed in an envelope, and are not required to pay your dollar unless you are satisfied wit^lhe article, which will certainly be worth more than the amount, and nfay be $50 or $100. An excellent mode this of investing a dollar. —Sunday Times, Ar. Y. City, Feb., 1865. Messrs. Airandale Co. have long been personally known to us, and we believe them to be every way worthy of public confidence.—Ar«i0 York Scottish American Journal, Juju 11, 1864. We have inspected, at the office of Arrandale Co.’s Agency, for European Manufacturing Jewel lers, a large assortment of fashionable and valuable jewelry of the newest patterns. We also noticed a large quantity of silver plate, and understand that the whole of these newly imported articles are to be disposod of on a novel principle, giving great advan- tages to buyers, and affording extensive employment i to agents. We know the firm in question to be very respectable and thoroughly worthy of public confi dence, and recommend our friends to read their ad vertisement.— A7. Y. Albion Sept. 3,1864. Employment fob Ladies.—The most eligible and profitable employment we have heard of for la dles is the sale of certificates for the Great Gift Dis tribution of Arrandale Co. A lady of our ac quaintance has been very successful in this way, not only i i filling her own purse, but also in doing a good i turn to those to whom she sold the Certificates, as will be seen by our advertising columns. Gentlemen can also thus be engaged. A\ T. Sunday Mercury, 14,1865. The British Whia of Kingston, C. W., says, Nov. 26th, 1864, “One of our lady subscribers became an agent for Arrandale Co., and by request brought some twenty articles sent as prizes for her agency, to this office for inspection, and without hesitation we can state that each and all of the articles were worth treble the amount of cost to the recipients, and some of them six times.” We have seen some very pretty specimens of Table and Teaspoons, Gold Watches, Ladies’ Chains, Pins, Bracelets, etc., which have been sent by Arrandale Co. to this place for $1 each,—Angelica Reporter, AT. Y. State, Feb. 15, 1865. AGENTS.—We want agents in every regiment, and in every town and county in the country, ana those acting as such will be allowed 10 cents on every certificate ordered by them, provided their remit tance amounts to one dollar, also other inducements which can be leaniod on application. Agents will collect 25 cents for every certificate, and remit 15 cents to us either in cash or postage stamps. ARRANDALE Co.. 167, Broadway, New York. dec7d&wlm.

Guenon was, aud, for aught I know, still is, a Frenchman. He was bom poor, near Bor deaux, had, early, the care of co vs, and spent his whole life with them. On the 4th of July* 1837, the Agricultural Society of Bordeaux awarded him a gold medal for the discovery which he made, by which any careful observer might know the milking qualities of a cow.— This consisted of certain hairy marks on the posterior part of the bag, or udder, on the space above it, called the perineum and the thighs adjacent to the sides of the udder.— These marks or spots of hair rise up from the udder in an upward direction, whilst all the other hair of the animal grows downward.— They arc sometimes marked by a line of brist ly hair which surrounds them, forming a ridge or sort of ruffle where the upward and down ward growing hair meet. To these spots or tufts he gave the name of milk mirrors be cause they reflected the milking capacity of the udder. Farmers both in France and in this country, had before the time of Guenon, noticed a connection between the size of these upgrowing tufts and the dairy qualities of the cow, but it was that Frenchman who first re duced them to a reliable system, and explain ed the value of particular forms and sizes of the milk-mirrors. He carried the thing per haps too far when he professed to foretell by these mirrors just how much a cow would give, how long she would hold out, and what would be the quality of her milk; but that his system generally is true, is now conceded by all agricultural authorities and by every observ ing farmer. After him, another French dai ry-man, M. Magne, simplified the system of Guenon and freed it from the complex details by which Gubnon had encumbered it. He took into the account other facts which, in many cases, might and must qualify the tests of the milk-mirror—such as the size of the milky glands and the activity of the blood-ves sels upon the udder and perineum—the food, treatment, temperature, accidental diseases, the climate, the season and many other causes that might prevent a good cow well marked from giving milk in quantity or quality as in dicated by the sole and only test of a milk mir ror. Then, again, it should be noticed, that different breeds incline, some more to flesh, others more to milk, and it is not to be ex pected that a Hereford cow with a large mir ror would give as much milk as an Ayrshire whose mirror was perhaps smaller. Hereford or Devon, as a race never give so much milk as most Ayrshires and some Durham short horns or native cows. The Jerseys are cele brated for the richness of their milk, but sel dom give a great quantity; and yet we shall frequently find large milk mirrors, and large milky glands and veins which mark them as generous contributors to the pail. All these things are to be taken into the account in es timating the reliability of Guenon’s method, which, as I have said, generally Js true. He himseir admitted some draw-backs upon his system. For instance, the milk-mirror might appear very small, and therefore the animal be condemned, when it was really large, but ow ing to the folds of the udder might be much concealed. Those folds should be drawn out, or extended in order to judge aright of the size of the mirror. And then, again, though there might be quite a number of upturned tufts from the bag to the rump, yet if there be also several spots on which the hair has a downward direction, as will sometimes be the case, then subtract so much from the general indications^md perhaps force a decision against the milking qualities of the animal. He af firms, too, that if there are upgrowing tufts upon the rump opposite the ulva, they are a certain proof that the cow will go di7 long before calving; hut if there are downward tufts, in oval form upon the back of the ud der, these will indicate that she will hold out long, in giving milk. In the best of cows these ovals will be found. Sometimes these milk-mirrors are clearly defined and readily seen by the eye; in other cases, owing to the thinness of the hair, or the same color of the skin, they are hardly perceptible. To test them, in this case, press the back of the hand against the upper part of the perineum and draw it downward with the fingers distended. The fingernails as the hand moves, will catch and detect the up growing tufts. This process will also cause the veins to swell, which will show whether they are large and active, as in good milkers, or small and sluggish as in poor ones. No doubt there is much of truth in these milk-mirrors. They are large on all great milkers, and small on poor ones, other things being equal. But there are other points of a good cow to be taken into consideration, which, if they, or the most of them, are found on a cow of large milk-mirror, unqualified by contravening tufts, a purchaser may be sure of obtaining the object of his search. The points not to be overlooked any where, are,—a large, fair, but not fleshy udder, one that shrinks much on being milked, covered with a soft skin and fine hair; smal. head, thin neck, mild eye, small yellow horns not large at the base, high hip bones, pot belly, thin haunches, yielding skin, loose upon the rump, full chest, good constitution, regular appetite with a great propenstiy to drink. If a cow or heiier has most of these marks, with a large milk-mirror, you may be quite certain she is worth taiaing or purchasing. Tbaxi. Letter from a West Virginia Teaoher. Mabtiwbbuko, West Va., I •Dec. 2,1865. To the Editor of the Prett: It is now one week since Miss Anna A. Wright, of Montpelier, Vermont, and myself opened a school here for Freedmen aud their children, under the auspices of the Freewill Baptist Home Mission, in conjunction with the American Missionary Association. One Superintendent, llev. N. C. Brackett, is sta tioned at Harper’s Ferry, and two lady teach ers, who came on with ns, stop there under his immediate charge. Schools will soon be opened by Mr. Brackett at Sliepardstown and Charlestown also. One may count on Berkeley County for true loyalty, as the reports of the Circuit Court, now holding here, abundantly show. Last Monday Hon. Mr. Faulkner, once, I believe, Minister to France, occupied the attention ol the Court by an able argument as to whether Attomeys-at-Law ought to be required to take the test oath prescribed by the statuto of Nov. 16tli, 18(33. Of course, having been a rebel, he thinks the law unjust that requires the test oath of him. His case has not yet been de cided. At least he is not admitted to the bar. Public opinion seems to be tha. be will foil. In speaking of the loyalty of the place I do not mean that there is no copperhead element here,—only that it has no power. It finds ex pression in the columns of the “New Era,” edited, I am told, by a renegade Northerner. Hu took occasion, in his last issue, to give a characteristic fling at us and our occupation. The opposing paper, the “Berkeley Union,” favors us and our work. I was told by a gen tleman this morning that if we would cowhide the editor of the Era the Mayor said he would hold him. I was greatly amused at the oiler which, by the way, we do not design to accept. The Era may, as it claims, represent the elite of the city, yet we found no difficulty In get ting board with au excellent family who are loyal to the core, and ever have been. We seem to be universally known on the street and sometimes hear ourselves pointed out as the “nigger teachers,” but have met thus far with no rudeness. With regard to our school, it U daily increas ing, but still numbers less than thirty day scholars. Many more, however, will come in after the holidays, a different set of about as many come in evenings, and that is by far the most interesting part of our school. Some few read very well, and have begun arithme tic and geography. A few can write a letter. One young man showed me last evening a page of virginaJ composition, very good in deed, with but one misspelled word in it.— There was no attempt at punctuation, and capitals were rather promiscuously used, but, in consideration of bis disadvantages, I thought it very creditable. Both children and adults learn well, and we are pleased thus far with oar experiment. We are to have Christmas week to ourselves and plan to spend it mostly at Harper’s Furry We talk of climbing Maryland Heights then' After Christmas wo shall know more ftilly what our school will be, and, if I can snatch time, I’ll drop you another line. But enough for the present. 8. J. F. High Prices—What Causes them P In the very able anil justly praised report of the Secretary of the Treasury, recently pub lished, Mr. McCuiloch says: On the 30th of September last, the deposits of the national banks alone amounted to $614,150,134; their loans, (estimating their national securities as a loan to the government) to ♦313,016.62a; both of which items must have been increased during the month of October; while on the 31st of that month the circu lation, bank and national, had reached the startling amount of upwards of $700 000,000. Nothing begond this statement is required to exhibit the prescut in dalieu, or to explain the causes of the current and advancing prices. We have made the above quotation not for the purpose, at the present time, of raising the question whether the currency of the country is or is not actually inflated; not to consider how large a volume of currency is demanded for the purposes of business, or with how small a volume the business of the country may be conducted, but our simple purpose at the present time is to notice the language in the above which we have printed in italics. Mr. McCulloch tells us, in substance, that the great volume of currency is the cause—the sole cause—of the current and advancing prices.” Is this so Is it true that the abundance of currency Is the leading cause of high prices, and that a contraction of currency would be sure to bring them down? That this is the theory of Mr. McCulloch seems plain. It is a very popular theory. The able articles here tofore published in these column, over differ ent-signatures, generally have been based up on this idea, and in the face of such authority it may seem presumptuous and egolis.ical in any one—particularly a person who is neither a financier nor an active commercial man—to suggest so much as a doilbt as to the perfect soundness of this theory _ Far be it from us to say a word disparaging of theories a theorists per se. A sound theo ry is of the first importance, though it should be—if sound it will be—in perfect consonance with facts, modified by them, and in no case so unbending as to refuse to admit their exist ence or their force. We cannot intelligently build an edifice, construct a railroad, erect a factory, put up a telegraph, launch a ship, work an engine, or till a farm, without a well-de fined theory, a plan of operations, and this theory or plan once settled understandingly, should not be yielded up or deviated from in any case, except for good and sufficient reason; yet the man who would adhere doggedly to a theory when found in direct conflict with known, existing and stubborn facts, would be little better than a mad man. Such facts of ten show the defects in or exceptions to a theory. The navigator who, running by his observations, no matter how correctly made or how peifecthis instruments, refuses to change the course indicated by these though a granite rock breaks the surface of the waters directly in his pathway, would be no more inconsist ent or unwise than any other theorist, who in sists upon making a straight wake though a fortress bristling with adverse and stubborn facts looms up directly before him. Theories are good in their place, “But facts are chlels that wiiuia ding, And downs be disputed." it seems to us tne theory ot high prices to which we have referred, is built up in an en tire obiiviousnes3 of the great and almost if not quite inexorable commercial law of demand and supply. We do not dispute that a pleth ora of currency may be favorable to a spec ulating spirit; we only question the doctriue that thb plethora is the cause of, or necessa rily produces speculation. It may be the ally, but we doubt if it is the parent of specula tion. Money enables a man to gratify his de sires, and though it may stimulate it does not necessarily create those desires. A person buys a dinner, or a railroad ticket, or a new coat, not because he has money in his pocket and knows of no other way in which to spend it, but because he is hungry, or wishes to trav el, or needs—or thinks he does—the new gar ment. He may have cords of money and yet neyer think of purcliasing a thing unless he has a real or fancied need. We may be tsld that, if he had so much money, he would buy up all the dour or ths wheat of the country, then raise the pi ice, and thus compel the people to suffer. But would he do this if the Hour or the wheat was in abundance? With a thousand barrels of flour in the city and no demand for over five hundred before a new supply must arrive, is it possible, no matter how plenty the currency, to get up a speculation and enhance the price? Who so anxious to bum his own fingers that he will buy up the thousa nd bar rels, knowing that with half of it remaining unsold a new stock will be thrown upon the market On the other hand, suppose the city to contain but five hundred barrels of flour, when it is clearly apparent and reasonably certain that one thousand barrels will be de manded before an additional supply can be re cieved, will a dlficiency of currency prevent speculation or a rise in price Will not hold ers bold on with a tight grip to tbs last mo ment, or will not other property be mortgaged, if necessary, to secure notes given for the pur chase of this flour at a high figure, that a still higher figure may he realized as it is dealt out for consumption As we have had occasion to remark on a former occasion, in discussing a kindred ques tion, if a hotel keeper had only fifty beds and each night one hundred persons apply for the occupancy of those beds, he will get a high price, and no amount of scolding will prevent it, and no matter how scarce the currency may be, so long as more men who have the requi site amount of currency want those be Is than they will accommodate, the owner will get his price. But suppose he has a hundred beds and only fifty applicants, all the currency in thq

Page 2

world will not secure him high price3 or fill his beds. So it is in railroad travel, in freight', and ii all other similar operations. So Ion; or the means of accommodation are irw.de qm.eiomeel the demands made upon their, prices will rule high; when the demand fade below the means of accommodation prices wi.l rule low, and this rule, as inexorable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, will stand good whether currency Ire scanty or plethoric. The same law holds in trade; in everything. When the demand for beef is greater than the supply, beef-eaters will indulge their taste only at a high price for their favorite sirloin m steak. To-day beef U high—very high, and jf Is equally true that the country is almost des titute of surplus cattle. The stalls are empty; the former's bam is short of stock. The de mands of the Government to feed its armies and to meet the great waste of a time of war, have produced this state of things in the stock market, and beef would be high if there were no currency, if trade was reduced to barter; whi e speculators with a very scant amount oi money in the country, would be able to con troi the beef market. Not so with flour.— Amidst the general upward tendency in price flour has been for some time gradually declir ing. Speculators cannot control it. The suj ply 1j too abundant. The country is too fu. of it. It is high, it is true, as compared wit. prices before the war, but not as compare* with prics3 of other thmgs. The big rates o transportation which gorged lines are enable to keep up, and the high prices of storage— a so dificient in capacity—necessarily swe the pries of a barrel of flour to a large figui* hut the inexhaustible supply in the grab, growing regions of the West, checks specul tion in this article as effectually as the flamin sword guarded the way of the tree of life. Now is it not true that for more than ion. years our people have been engaged in a wor. of destruction instead of production t An* did not the close of the war,—so sudden as tc astonish the world,—find the country almoi bare of all manufactured articles heeded iu l time of peace; articles for wear and tools fo husbandry The South was as clean as thougi swept with a broom, and the North was fille with silent manufactories and almost empt. warehouses. Factories that had been run ning had been doing so in the production o articles needed for war purposes mainly, no. lor those demanded in time of peace. Tin great mass of our population was dressed ii. clothing long worn, and the working men am working women were both wearing thel patched cotton garments, determined to dele, purchasing as long as possible, in hope of i lower price. Uut peace, as we have sain came suddenly, and with it sprang up a de mand to meet the wants of the people such a* had never been known-before. Spindles wen. started, anvils began to ring,hammers to click maen nery to num, ana the whole loyal Horn has become one hive of industry, all laboring day and night, to fill up the vacuum created by an exhausting war, and yet the supply is fai belo iv the emand. How could it be other wLe .ban that high prices should rule—thai they should advance And how can we rea sonao.y took for relief until the demand it somewhat satisfied? The enhanced- prlcei will stimulate new methods of supply; nev. factories, new forges, and other new means o. production will spring up, and by-and-by,—fcr this is the universal Yankee law—the thing will be over-done, the markets will be glutted, there will be more supply than demand, and thei prices must come down, aud no amount of infia lion of the currency can prevent it. When then is more merchandise than necessary to mee. the demands for consumption we shall find re llef, and no permanent relief till then. But this article is already long, and yet we have more to say, so we will stop here, and perhaps recur to the subject again. A Divided Kingdom. That august body, the Fenian Union in New York, seems to be torn by intestine disturb TU* tho fumlo SCCTHS IlKO ly to be, as some shrewd people early predict ed, the fatal rock on which the Fenian crait will go to pieces. Paddy Is a generous soul, and patriotic; and the smooth-tongued em issaries who have talked to him of the woes of Ireland and the tyranny of the Saxon oppress or, have had no difficulty in drawing from him liberal contributions to aid the cause of “Irish Nationality.” Immense sums have been col lected out of the hard earnings of the sons and daughters of the Green Isle. The organ ization which begun with an income of only seven dollars a week, now reports over one million of dollars in its treasury, and the dis position of thc3e monies has become the groundwork of a very pretty quarrel. The valiant President O’Mahoney, who recently wanted to call out the editor of the New York Times. i3 at present in trouble. That illus trrojS Council of Ten who style themselve. the Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood, have brought an Indictment against him, charsing him with malfeasance in office, with violation of his official oath in refusing to communicate his plans and purposes to the senate, with m.'s impropriation of the ftmds, and with be in generally traitorous to the cause. He re torts on his accusers by charging them with embezzelement of large 'uns, declaring that their only purpose in accusing him has been to avoid the exposure of their own peccadil loes. The whole affair reminds one strongly of the two huckster women who got into a fight in the street, and while each was pour ing out upon the other a perfect torrent of Billingsgate, the little daughter of one of them put her head out of a window, and shouted, “Hurry, mother, and call her a thief before she calls you one!” The Presideut, the Senate and the adminis trators generally of the affairs of the Fenian Brotherhood, are a set of thieves and plunder ers, who have been lining their pockets with the money extracted from their credulous countrymen; and it will be a happy thing for Ireland and the Irish if these revelations shall suffice to show the weakness and folly of the whole movement. The thing seems to be go ing to pieces from its own inherent rottenness, aDd every intelligent lover of freedom, aud true friend of Ireland will rejoice to see the falsene ;s of it3 pretences thus exposed. Now let O’Mahoney, Kidian and company go to work, aud try and get their living in an hon est way. Another Fenian Scare. New Brunswick has juit been agitated by terrors of a Fenian invasion. Tiie rumors have been many and terrible, and some ner vous people lost their sleep, but we cannot learn that anything worse than that has oc curred. The St. John Evening Globe gives the following account of the affair: Tiie truth appears to be simply, that on v Monday night ilis Excellency the Lieutenant Governor received a telegram, in cypher, from Washington, stating that a raid—what kind was not stated—on New Brunswick was con templated. His Excellency, the same even ing, telegraphed to the Attorney General to come to St. .John without delay. On arriving here, Mr. Smith, it appears, was put in pos session of this information, and he received His Excellency’s instructions to meet him at St. Andrew or St. Stepneu. Thither the At torney General proceeded in the cold of last night—His Excellency having gone diiect lrom Fredericton. Their efforts there, it is thought, wdl be directed to placing the fron tier m such a state of defense as to guard rection surpiise or incursion from that di The St. John people in general, and the hank directors in particular, were fearfully scared; but Major General Doyle, it seems, was too old a bird to be caught by any such chaff. He declined to be scared at the indefi nite information received; and when a re quest was sent to him for more troops to strengthen the garrisoD at St. John, instead of complying with the request he sent back word “not to spare the raidei-s on his account.”— The indignation of St. John people and pa pers over thU “ill-timed levity” of the General, is not the least funny part of the affair. The report next day was, “All quiet on the St. John!” ITEMS or STATE NEWS. W The reporter for the Argus is a man of taste, decidedly; aud so was the woman who tissed the cow. The able lecture of General Banks, in which he dealt with the mightiest problems of government; the scholastic aud ;andid discussion of American Patriotism by ft. H. Dana, the logical arguments of Gov. Bout well in favor of basing reconstruction on the principles of eternal justice, were nothing but re-hashes of “the everlasting negro.” But in address acknowledged to be “madsup of Irish anecdotes, blunders and hulls, some ol which were not new,” exactly suits his taste ind realizes his ideal of a lecture, and he thinks the association fortunate in securing so enter taining and interesting a man.” This is some thing like the taste of those fellows who pass iver loaded shelves of standard literature and works of thought, and make choice of “Mother loose” or “Jack the Giant-Killer." The lec ture which the Argus so praises wa3 well enough and good enough, pleasant, witty, and rainently amusing, and afforded a gratifying /ariety in the lecture programme, but to exalt t above those referred to is like elevating well-seasoned hash above an honest, substan ial dish of roast beef. i3t~ John Neal, Esq., of this city, opened the oung Men’s Course of Lectures in Boothbay, -a Tuesday evening, 12th inst.

A few weeks since we copied from the Bid deford Journal, a paragraph which reflected upon this gentleman, representing him as be ing in Boston seeking the aid of charity while the owner of a respectable property in Bid deford. The slip was enclosed to us in a note from the editor of the Journal, with his per sonal endorsement, and a request that we should publish to expose an imposition. We are satisfied that the paragraph was cruelly unjust to a worthy, patriotic and un fortunate man. Mr. Ambler did good service for the country early in the war, and has been rendered a cripple for life by wounds received during that service. We have seen a testimo nial in his favor, of the highest character, signed by citizens of Biddetord without re gard to party or sect, embracing the names of the Mayor, Municipal Judge, members of the clergy, corporation agents, physicians, mer chants and other citizens. He has lost his property, is poor, deserving, and an earnest worker in all moral reforms, and as such we commend him to the kind and benevolent wherever he may go.

Redington, Vol.4—Maine Reports p. 265says: 1. “The clause in the Constitution which prohibits the taking of private property for public use, was not designed to operate, and it does not operate, to prohi bit the legislative department from authorizing an exclusive occupation of private property temporarily, as an incipient proceeding to the acquisition of a title to it, or to an easement in it. 2. It was designed to operate, and it does operate to prevent the acquisition of any title to land, or to an easement in it, or to a perm :nent appropriation of it, from an owner, for public use, without the actual payment, or tender of a just compensation for it. 3. That the right to such temporary occupation as an incipient proceeding will become extinct by un reasonable delay to perfect proceeding, including tie actual payment or tender of compensation, to acquire a title to the land, or ot an easement in it. 4. That an action ot trespass, quare clausum, may be maintained to recover damages for the continu ance of such occupation, unless compensation, or a tender ot it be made within a reasonable time after the commencement of it. 5. That under such circumstances an action of trespass or an action on the case, may be maintained to recover damages for all the injuries occasioned by the prior occupation. In this case as no compensation or tender of it was made to the Plaintiff within a reasonable time alter his Estate occupied by the Corporation, no title to it or to an easement in it has been acquired, and the occupation, although legally commenced has ceased to be legal. As the Corporation reqaired no title to the land, or Jny easement in it, the defendant could acquire none by his conveyance trom that Corporation. Defend ant defaulted.” Cushman Pratt. Allen's Reports Vol. 7, page 313. Hiram Whitman and Boston Maine Railroad. The value of land, in controversy may be proved by the testimony of witnesses personally acquainted with the subject and sufficiently familiar with it to give an opinion, although they have never bought or sold land In the vicinity, or known or heard of such sale from the buyer or seller. The Judge in this case instructed the Jury sub stantially as follows: The respondents are bound to pay for all the land of the petitioners which they took and appropriated under their location—it is claimed by the petitioners that the amount of the fond so taken was 291 feet—^ that amount of land the petitioners aie entitled to be paid for.

Thursday.—The court was occupied all day with the case of Frederick Townsend for passing a $5 bill of the National Bank of Free hold, N. J., altered to a fifty. Mr. Webb made the argument for the prisoner, and Mr. Talbot for the Government. SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT. CRIMINAL TERM—BARROWS, J., FRE8IDINO. Joseph H. Pollard, Frederick Pollard and Ckarlrs Cobb, were tried for creating a riot in Brunswick, on the night of the 30th of Sept. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, against all the prisoners. M. M. Butler, J. D. Simmons. John Cook indicted for larceny of a horse and wagon, in Brunswick, retracted his plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty. The prisoner made a statement in extenuation of his of fense, stating that he was iu search of employ ment, and was intoxicated, and that seeing the horse and wagon, he took them for the purpose of going to Lewiston, or Little River, in search of employment. On the other hand it was alleged that the pris oner, after taking the horse and wagon had of fered them for sale. Daniel R. Wallace, of Falmouth, was tried on an indictment charging him with assault upon John Coughlin, with intent to kill, at Falmouth, on the 28th of November. The jury had not agreed upon a verdict at adjournment. M. M. Butler. J. O’Donnell. John Murphy was tried on an indictment charging him with larceny of six barrels of flour from Messrs. Norton Chapman, on the 3d of August last. It appeared from the evi dence that a boy named Robert H. Staunton, obtained the flour at Norton Chapman’s on account of Messrs. Milliken. Staunton was ppt upon the stand and he testified that he was sent bv Murphy for the flour, and that it was subsequently delivered to Mnrpliy. There was also testimony from three or four persons that they had purchased each, a barrel of flour at that time, of Murphy, at about six dollars per barrel. Two barrels of the flour were dis covered in Murphy’s house. The defense was that Stauntcn agreed to sell Murphy two barrels of flour, which he, (Staunton), said he was to have of a mate of a vessel, at five dollars per barrel, and that Murphy lent the boy his team to get the flour; that Staunton, instead of bringing two barrels of flour, brought six barrels, which, as defend ant alleges, he purchased of Staunton, suppos ing he came honestly by it. After the closing aruument of Mr. Carleton, for the accused, the Court adjourned. M. M. Butler. S. L. Carleton. MUNICIPAL COUNT. DEC. 14. James Fleming, a liackman, was brought before the court charged with extortion. It appeared that be charged $1.40 for fares of three persons driven within the bounds of the city, when the fares should have been but $1.05—thirty-five cents each. The excuse of the driver was, that he was obliged to wait some time at one place for the convenience of his passengers; but tbi3 was denied by the complainants. The court sentenced him to pay a fine of $20 and costs. From this sen tence he appealed to the Supreme Judicial Court. A lad named John Curtis was brought up for being a habitual truant, and was sentenced to the Reform Schoool during his minority. Theatre.— Leering Hall was quite well filled last evening—the galleries and parquette crowded—at the first opening of Messrs. Wins low Co.’s Dramatic Company. None of the members of this company have ever appeared before on the Portland boards, but they made a good impression, and we predict for them in creasing houses, made up from our best circles. The playing as a whole was excellent: some of the parts were admirably sustained, and the closing farce was one of the best and most laughable we have ever witnessed. We wil not discriminate where all did so well. Our city has seldom been visited by a more talent ed company. One thing we commend parricularly; they commenced on time and closed In good season, and from beginning to end maintained good order. The orchestra was first rate. If the proprietors of the hall will expend a “quarter in beating the carpet some windy day, they will save a cloud of dust and many unpleasant remarks by the audience, when occasion de mands that it should be spread upon the floor. In Mexobiax.—The death of Joseph P. Somerby, son of Samuel W. and Sarah Somer by of this city, on the 21st ultimo, deserves more than a passing notice. He was a young man 23 years of age of excellent moral princi ples and good business habits. Brought up to the machinery business, he, during the war, ex pressed a desire to have employment in some one of the government steamers employed in the naval service. He started as a fireman, but was soon promoted to be 3d engineer, and in that situation served on board the “Fort Mor gan” at New Orleans and the “Itasca” at Mo bile Bay, receiving the commendations of his superiors for his abilities as an officer, and for his conduct as a gentleman. At home, he gathered around him a large circle of acquaintances by whom he was be loved and who mourn the death of their friend and companion.

Abbival of to* Damascus.—Steamship Damascus, Capt Watts, from Liverpool Nov.* 80th, and Londonderry Dec. 1st, arrived at this port, yesterday morning, bringing four cabin and 86 steerage passengers, and a ftill cargo. We are indebted to Purser Brown for files of papers. The news has been ar. ticipated by the Java, at New York. Purser Brown reports that on the first part of the passage, experienced light easterly winds with fine weather. Middle part, heavy westerly gales with tremendous high seas latter part fine weather with S. E. wind. Mb. S. T. Pabmalee, Dear Sir :—Having used one of your Piano Fortes at my concerts, I am satisfied that they surpass all others in many important particulars. They run fully equal to the best Grand Pianos, in volume and brilliancy of tone, and think they are superior to all other Pianos in singing qualities, dura tion of sound, and pure musical intonation.— They have also a susceptible or sympathetic tone, such that they always yield exactly the the degree of power, the perfbrmer wishes to produce. Albert Poppenbeeo, Leader of Band, 17th IT. S. Infantry. Commendable.—We are glad to learn, that the Ladies’ Sanitary Committee of Portland, have paid over to the Portland Freedmen's Aid Association, the sum of five hundred dol lars. They could not have appropriated their money, now no longer needed for the soldiers, to an object more akin to that for which they have been so long and so faithfully laboring.— We commend the example of these ladies of the Sanitary, to other similar associations.— The same Association has also received the sum of six hundred and fifty dollars from the young ladies “B. F.” Society. j General Carey’s Lecture, The second lecture of the Good Tempi) Course, was delivered laat evening by Gener S. F. Carey, of Ohio. There was a better a tendance than at the first lecture, bnt the Ha was not more than half filled. The lecturt and the subject certainly deserved a larger a1 tendance. Gen. Carey congratulated the teinperaut" men upon the progress mado In the goo' cause within the past thirty years, it w» more than could he expected, considering l»o' whiskey, lager beer and wine controlled ou elections. He mentioned some points of pr° gress, and related incidents which convulse* the audience with laughter, and elicited greft applaute. The license system he attache with vigor and brought all his powers of elc quence and sarcasm to hear against it. Th The Maine Law, he upheld as necessary foi the safety of community, and as a measure which, if carried out would prevent the anuu ual murder of 500,000 by intemperance. Gen. Carey spoke for one hour and three quarters, without notes, in his usual eloquenl and forcible manner. He gave notice at th< close, that on Saturday evening, at the saiui place, he should diseuss The Cause and th. Effects of the late War and on Sundaj evening should deliver a lecture on Temper ance, in the Hall. Gon. Chamberlain and the Maine Twen tieth.” This evening Gen. Joshua L. Chamber lain, of Bowtloin College, who commanded the Twentieth Maine at Gettysburg, will de liver the sixth lecture of the Independent Course, his subject being “The Maine Twen tieth at Getty sburg.” This lecture has been delivered before the Bowdoin students, and is said to be a very rich and thrilling description of one of the most bloody battles of the war and one of the most gallant and daring feat! of any regiment from this State. Gen. Chamberlain has proved bimsclt a sol dier as well as a scholar, and is one of the mei whose record will bear scrutiny, and is at honor to our State. We have no doubt tin spacious City Hall will be filled to its utrnos capacity, and we feel safe in assuring those who attend that they will have an evening’. entertainment, both agreeable and profitable. Census.—We took occasion yestenlay to call upon Mr. Beckett and look over his books and become acquainted with the mode in which the census of the city was taken under his direction, and we are satisfied it was done with great care and that the result is remark ably accurate. The cases of omission to which reference was made in yesterday’s Press, upon examination, appear to have been no omis sions after all: for the names of the families, correctly reported, appear upon the books. Railroad Company Indicted.—At the present term of the Supreme Judicial Court, three bills of indictment were found against the Portland A Kennebec Railroad Company for not maintaining and keeping up fences on the line of their road iu the towns of Fal mouth and Cumberland. The annoyance and the danger to the cattle ol farmers, occasioned by the want of proper fences, are said to he very great. Throat Diseases.—“We would call atten tion to ‘Brown’s Bronchial Troches.’ We have found them efficacious in allaying Irritation in the Throat and Bronchia, and would commend them to the attention of Public Speakers and others troubled with affections of the Throat They are also an excellent remedy for Hoarse ness resulting from cold.”—[CongregationaJist, Boston. Attempt at House Breaking.—An at tempt was made on Tuesday night to enter a bouse, on Oxford Street, by climbing on to a shed and attempting an entrance into the house by means of one of the windows in the second story. The robber, in attempting to raise the window, awakened a lad, who was sleeping in the room, and decamped upon tlie boy’s calling out. Judge of the Supreme Judicial Court. —A special dispatch to the Press states that Col. Ruftis P. Tapley, ot Saco, has been nomi nated for the vacancy on the the Supreme Bench. Col. Tapley is representative elect from the town of Saco, and his acceptance of the offico will vacate bis seat In the House, and require a new election. That truly wonderful curiosity called the Monk,” Is soon to leave for New York, but will be exhibited here for a few days for the inspection of the scientific, the marvellous and the curious. Whether the legen i that comes with it is correct or not we venture to say that its like cannot be found. It does leave an im 12th Maine.—A letter from Savannah to one of the editors of the Press, states that the order for mustering out of service the 12th Maine Regiment has been been countermand ed for the present. The men air much disap pointed at this, but are consoling themselves with the fact that their time will be out in a few months. Faib Continued.—In consequence of the unfavorable state of the weather, last Tuesday evening, the Fair of the 2d Congregational Church will be opened ou Friday evening, 15tli Inst, at the house of Mr. Samuel Bell, in West Falmouth. There will be a good supply of refreshments and fancy articles for sale_ All friends are Invited to attend. New Music.—We have received from the publishers, Horace Waters, 481 Broadway, New York, “Santa Claus,”—a song and cho rus,—by Rev. A. A. Graley; “My Jamie’s on the Battle Field,”—Scotch ballad,—by Mrs. E. A. Parkhurst; ,‘Promenade Concert Polka,” by Mrs. E. A. Parkhurst. Neutral Sulphite of Lime for preserv ing Cider.

Don’t forget the sale of piano fortes at H. Bailey A Co.’s auction rooms, Ex change Street, at 11 o’clock to-day. Lectures at Boothbay. Mb. Editor :—I am requested by your sub scribers at Boothbay to tell you something about the course of Lectures the young men of that neighborhood have Just got under way. The opening took place on Tuesday evening last; and notwithstanding the unfavorable and threatening weather, the muddy highways, and the distances they had to come, varying from one to three miles, they had what was called an excellent house; and judging by the countenances betore me, of all ages and ol both sexes, are likely to find among their “sturdy thinkers,” and earnest, intelligent women, all the encouragement they need. They have just settled a young, well-educat ed and able man, Mr. Cohan, over two congre gations, hitherto estranged, and now united, and it may well be hoped that he and they will continue to work together, until a system of mutual instruction has takeD root among them; and they have learnt their “duty to them selves.” All human acquisition Is capable of being frmded as well as communicated. The mm e we learn, the more we may. Science and lit erature are not a fountain, which may be ex hausted, or even lowered by use—but a l»'“P, forever blazing, at which thousands of other lamps may be lighted, without diminishing its original flame. Let all such efforts be encour aged. J•

Oregon ratified the anti-slavery amendment to the Constitution of the United States yes terday. Glory to God.” H. N. Carter of Westfield, Mass., has been appointed to the position of Assistant Clerk under the Clerk of the House of Representa tives. Official news from Acapulco has been receiv ed by Senor Romero, the Mexican Minister, to Nov. 25th. General Alvarez transmits the details of an important victory over the French troops obtained by the enterprising General Diaz, shortly after his escape fromjail in which he was confined at Puebla. The national forces obtained quite a number of arms, horses, son, of Michigan; Marshall, of Illinois; 1 Paine, of Wisconsin; Sliellabarger, of Ohio; j McClurg, of Missouri; Rodford, of New York. There was a reinarkrble and exciting scene 1 in the Circuit Court to-day. Mr. Bradley ex- pressed the hope that the Court (Judge Olin) l would not argue certain facts to the jury. The Judge denied that he had interferred witli facts, and said he would not he insulted and would not suffer Mr. Bradley to state to the Court what the latter knew to be untrue. Mr. Bradley.—If you mean to say I have stated what I knew to be untrue, you are a liar and a scoundrel. The Court ordered the marshal to take Mr. Bradley into custody, and he was removed from the room. Mr. Bradley, with two members of the bar, was in the Circuit Court room a few minutes atlerwaids, when Judge Olin passed through. Mr. Bradley said: “Are you looking forme? Do you intend to send me to jail? Judge Olin.—Not yet. Mr. Biadley.—If you say to me, what you said on the bench, “that I stated what I knew to be untrue,” I will thrash you. Judge Olin.—You thrash me! Go away. Judge Olin ordered a rule to be served on Mr. Bradley to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. Among the visitors to the President to-day Henry A. Smith, President of the Central Na tional Bank of New York City, who had a pro tracted interview with President Johnson. Protest of Judge Busteed. MOBILE; Dec. 12. It will be recollected that Thomas C. A. Dexter, a special Treasury agent was arrested by the military on a charge of fraud, and that General Wood declined to obey the writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Busteed, for the liberation of Dexter, on the ground that said writ was suspended in the State, by proc lamation of the President, and the action of General Wood in the matter was fully sus tained by the President. Yesterday the Judge delivered his final opinion iu thu case, saying—the warrant for attachment against Gen. Wood, will be vacated with the Court’s consent, but while acquiting Wood I cannot even by implication consent to what I consid er an encroachment of the Executive Depart ment of the Government upon one of its coordinate branches. The exercise of these functions by the President, not only allow, but directs disobedience to these authorities. I claim exemption from any responsibility of guilt as alleged. I respectfully protest against the act of the President, and assert that the trial of the petitioner, Dexter, cannot lawfully proceed in any other way than that establish ed according to the forms now proscribed by the Constitution, Christian reverence and obedience to which is the most patriotic ser vice that either a citizen or State can render to the Government. Negro Troubles in Louisiana• New Orleans, Dec. 12. A number of Louisiana country newspapers state that the white military organization un der the Governor’s order cannot be effective as they have no arms In some of the Parishes of Terre Uonne and Natchitoches, for exam ple, the negroes are evil disposed towards the whites, and these papers charge that evil dis posed white persons are at the bottom of this state of things. In the Parish of Natchito ches, it is evident to all that the militia of the Staee must be organized and armed soon, to afford the necessary protection to the whites. The course of the military authorities in in terfering by force of arms to protect the cot ton agent charged before the State court with stealing cotton, from arrest by the sheriff, has been approved by Gen. Canby. The sheriffs account only of the affair has been published. Virginia Legislature. Richmond, Va., Dec. 14. The resolution in reference to the pardon of Jeff. Davis was taken up in the House of Del egates to-day. Mr. Stearns offered a substitute, earnestly recommending pardon for all political prison ers, believing that the prosperity and happi ness of the country will be promoted theieby. Mr. Jones opposed the consideration of the subject, as it would launch the House into a troubled sea of Federal politics. On his mo tion the whole subject was laid on the table. Kentuchy Legislature. Pbankfobt, Ky., Dec. 14. In the House of the Legislature to-day, Mr. Yoimg offered resolutions, which were order ed to be printed and referred to the Commitr tee on Federal Relations, that the Assembly heartily approves of the action of the last General Assembly in rejecting the proposed amendment of the Constitution of the United States, and that this Assembly has no right or authority to consider or vote upon the mea sure until it shall be again passed or proposed by Congress. Georgia Legislature. Milledoeville, Ga.. Dec. 12. The Provisional Governor sent to the Leg islature to-day the following dispatch: Washington, Dec. 11,1866. J. Johnson, Provisional Governor: The Governor elect will be inaugurated, which will not interfere with the Provisional Governor. You will receive instructions in a few days with regard to being relieved. Why can’t you elect a Senator? I would issue no commis sions to members of Congress. Leave that for the incoming Governor. We are under obligations to you for the nobW, efficient and patriotic manner in wbicb you liave discharg ed the duties of Provisional Governor, and you will be sustained by the Government. (Signed) Andrew Johnson, President. A committee has been appointed to wait on Governor Jenkins, and learn when it wiil suit him to be inaugurated. It is understood that lie desires to know bis real status before tak iug his office. A Murdered Man Discovered. Toledo, O., Dec. 14. The remains of Jonathan Gillett, lormerly of the firm of Wright, Gillett Rawson, of New York, and more recently of this city, who mysteriously disappeared three years ago, have been found here, under circumstances which leave no doubt of his having been murdered. The Mayor has offered onb thousand dollars reward for the apprehension of the murderers. California Oil Wells. San Francisco, Dec. 14.

Beauties of “Beoonstruotion.*’ In Mississippi an unpardoned rebel—a Gen eral in the rebel army—was elected Governor by the “Reconstructionists.” Nearly all the officers elected were men who had served in the rebel army. In that state are many, ne groes who were enlisted and served in the Un ion army, and who, on being mustered out of service, like the white Union soldiers, were al lowed to retain the rifles or muskets with which they bad fought, and with which they had defended the national flag, hy paying a certain amount which was deducted from the claims due them from the Government. Now see how “Reconstructed” Mississippi treats these colored patriots. The following item from a special Washington dispatch, tells the story: “The Adjutant General of Mississippi has issued an order to the captains of the recently irganized militia companies, directing them jy order of the Governor, to disarm the ne groes within their company beats. He says: “In the execution ol this order you will abstain Vom all unnecessary violence, but should you meet srith any resistance you will employ sufficient force to accomplish your object.'* Under this order honorably discharged vete rans, who purchased the weapons with which they aided in conquering treason, are being forced to surrender them to unrepentant reb els. who are reorganizing their armed forces. Who will not say that great are the beauties of “Reconstruction,” as illustrated in Mississ ippi, or that the freed negroes will not be per fectly safe in the hands and under the control of the recent white rebels of the South? Article 2 of the Amendments to the nation al constitution reads as follows: Art. 2. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the PEO PLE to keep and bear arms, shall not be i afringed. We don’t know how lawyers explain this provision—this “sacred guarantee”—of the constitution, but if the free men of color in the South are people we don’t see why they have not a right to their arms, or how they can lawfully he wrested from them except for crime, aud especially since the U. S. Govem ment has furnished them with their arms, and taken pay for the same. The Southern Whites and the Nation. “Dixon,” writing from Georgia to the Bos ton Advertiser, thus gives his estimate of the kind of loyalty to the national government which prevails in that state: The people accept the repudiation of the rebel war debt quite as cheerfully, considering the doleful prophecies of the gentlemen of the late convention. So many of the delegates there so earnestly assured me that their constituents were so exceedingly anx ious to pay that eighteen millions of dollars, that I was halfled Into believing tlia the President had Im posed a hard condition upon the Georgians. Haply, I doubted, and didn’t waste much sympathy, ior 1 find that It was all a grand game at speculation. Men who liad bought the bonds at ten to twenty cents on the dollar were anxious the State should be held to the payment of their face value; hut, strange as It may seem, 1 haven't found a single man, except those thus pecuniarily interested, who finds tault be cause of the repudiation I The feeling toward Northern men is very ihr from betng liberal or kindly. Many ol them are, as I have already said, coming in here; they are tolerated, but not welcomed. Having once fought to overcome re sistance to the government, they mnst now fight again to overcome prejudice against the spirit of the nation. There are very few counties in the State in which Northern labor and capital would be safe but for the presence cy'the military. I know that this is a broad and serious assertion. I make it with a lull consciousness of its meaning. The worst feature of the political situation is that the secondary character of the auihorlty of the gen eral government is everywhere practically asserted. “Our defeat was the necessary result of superiority ol numbers and resources,” says Ex-Governor John son, gravely, without any recognition of the bet that he an they had warred against the supreme law of of the land. The ono thing I have had to report from all sections, as well as the lesson taught in the earlier elections and now thunderingly echoed in the later elections, is that the general sentiment asserts that every man’s fealty is first due to the State. Not to have “gone with the S ate” In her late struggle, is now to be scorned and contemned. The President’s Advice to the South Oaroli lins Congressmen. Just before the inauguration of Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, Governor Perry laid before thd^legislature the following telegraph dis patch from the President: Washington, Nov. 27,1866. “To B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor: “I do not think it necessary for the mem bers elect for South Carolina to' be present at the organization of Congress. On the contra ry it will be better policy to present their cer tificates of election after the two Houses have organized, which will then be a simple ques tion, under the Constitution, of the members taking their seats. Each House must judge lor itself the election returns and qualifica tions of its own members. As to what the two Houses will do in reference to the oath, now required to be taken before the members can take their seats, it is unknown to me; and I do not like to predict. But, upon the whole, I am of opinion it would be better for the question to come up and be disposed of after the two Houses have been organized. I hope that your legislature will adopt a code in ref erence to free persons of color that will be ac ceptable to the country, at the same time do ing justice to the white and colored popula tion. Andbew Johnson, President.” A California paper details the prepara tions for commencing the work of tunneling the Sierra Nevada at the pass selected for the route of the Pacific Railroad. Laborers have been engaged, three points fixed for the com mencement of operations—at the beginning, the summit and the ending—and it is stated that the work can be finished in a year, More Railroad Murders. The New York World has the following scathing but just comments on the recent railroad disaster in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, reported by the telegraph: We are happy to chronicle another hideous railway “accident,” happening this time in Pennsylvania, but upon the road known as the New Jersey Central. Seven persons were killed, most of them being crushed out of all semblance of humanity, and many more— how many does not yet clearly appear—were very horribly wounded and mangled. This pleasing incident of travel occurred yesterday; and the day before yesterday, an incident fully as agreeable very nearly came to pass on the Hudson River Railway, a switch mau having “blundered” in adjusting his switch, but the cars which were thrown off the track upsetting in such a way as not to kill or even wound any of the passengers. It is perfectly idle to express indignation at such “accidents” as these in behalf of a public, which, if we are to judge by its apathy and im becility, rather enjoys the excitement of run ning the guantlet of sudden death on all its daily journeys. To denounce the officials of the roads on which human life is thus trifled with is the easiest thing imaginable; but as such denunciation leads to absolutely no re sults, unless it be to fix a sort of odium on many decent people for the results of a sys tem which all men are more or less responsi ble for upholding, we see neither propriety nor good sense in indulging in it. There really seems to be something Chinese in the stolid indifference of the average American to his own life and the lives of other people, and un til this habit of mind can be changed the press labors in vain when it seeks to make the community coinprehefid either its rights or its duties in regard to to comfort and se curity on the great lines and highways of na tional travel.

CHARTER OAK Life Insurance Company. THE CHARTER OAK Life Insurance Company declares Dividends each year, and pays them at the payment of the second and each aucceding premium, thus aiding the insured in meeting their payments by an IMMEDIATE RETURN. Tho advantages of this system over that of divi dends payable after a term of year* without interest, are obvious. No other Company pays dividends in this way. The Dividends of the Charter Oak are equal in value to those of any Life Co. Dividends without interest payable in four or five years, or at death, suffer a remarkable diminution when reduced to their present value. PROMPTNESS In the payment of losses Is a distinguishing feature 01 this Company, IT NEVER HAVING LITIGATED A CLAIM! C AHE Also In tho selection of risks, its losses for tho last six years having been from 30 to 70 pr. cl. Ie.a than ofjnny oilier Co. of u long .landing.

Hardly a day parses but wo are consulted by one or more young roan with tho above disease, some ot whom are as weak and emaciated as though they Lad the consumption, and by their friends supposed to have it.
