It is stated that the dis ease was contracted from eating Amer ican hams. —Samuel Wragg, the junior mem ber of the firm of C. T.

C., Observer says: “Young Cash is six feet six inches high and weighs 240 avoirdupois. All that he had to say about the shooting was that if the party who did it would call on him in the day time and give him a showing he would accommodate him. —A New York dispaeh of the 17th inst. says: The mild weather and heavy rains have melted the ice and snow that have covered Northern New York to the depth of several feet, and the entire section is threatened with inundation. Several wards in the city of Buffalo were flooded and three hundred head of cattle were drowned in the distillery pens. Much other damage is reported, and railroad trav el is interrupted. —The Railroad Commission, now sitting in Columbia, holds daily ses sions of great length.

They give no information of the char acter of their work, but, it seems to he the compilation, in condensed form, of the rates charged on the different railroads of the State for a number of years past, with a view to ascertain ing tin* inequalities in charges be tween the different lines, and making a basis for the forthcoming schedules of rates. One thing, however, is certain, (for it is conceded by both parties,} that taxation is too high, and a reduction of the tariff is an absolute necessity. We are confront .

The high protectionists object to the bill before Congress, because they say the rates are cut too low; the free I withdrawing from traders object because the rates are too i high, and the tariff revisioners be-j cause their suggestions have not been ! followed. I , . . . „ , The result of this triangular battle ; for the,n to «° m/o training for the pro- is likely to be such an abominable I s P e< **' e race tangle as to render the new tariff' more j inconsistent and objectionable than at a loss to imagine why he should for . a single moment entertain the idea of a position where his influence is felt and his usefulness acknowledged. It is evidently too soon to name can didates. In fact it is almost too soon the old. If the bill Anally passes in the shape and with the figures already agreed on, there is but little doubt that the now tariff wiil carry as many dol lars into the treasury as the old. Every cent taken unnecessarily from the tax-payers is nothing less tiian legal ized robbery. The expenses of the Government must be met, and they should be levied by indirect taxation; but let wisdom and economy so regu-, late the matter as to avoid large and ' and unnecessary accumulations in the treasury, which are a hardship upon the tax-payer and a temptation to dishonest politicians. The f lee triuiers/will have to stand ide iti this country for many gener al) an odious sys tem of direct taxatliP, necessitating the employment of a merciless gang of spies and informers, similar to our Internal Revenue Department. The variety and volume of our pro ductions are too great, and the mag nificent resources of our country too undeveloped for us to venture upon the Utopian theories of the free tra ilers. The true Democratic tjieory is a tariff for revenue only, and by that we can afford to stand or fall. Let the Custom Houses continue to collect sufficient revenue for the uses of the General Government, only let the du ties be regulated by a wise policy of sound and economic statesmanship, and the people will prosper and Jjt satisiied. It is better to wait un til this distinguished citizen casts aside the robes of the office he has so worthily worn before we commence to canvass for a successor.

Editor of t should be a matter portance to us as to how weleducate our children. There are chijdren in our scliuuia full of vice and wicked ness who are liable to lead others astray. Therefore it beconies-our in- dispensible duty to educate morally as well as intellectually. This can be done through two of its arms. What are these? First, home influence.— As this is the place where we (jet our early training, so we should strive to make this sacred alter what it Ishould be. Two things that will do this are, kind and Christian parents, loving and obedient children. Notice, if you please, the home where this class of persons are, and we see that their home is made comfortable and family duties are conducted night and morn ing; then turn an eye where these du ties are neglected and behold the con trast. Parents are to seta good exam ple that their children may lead a useful, virtuous and happy life. Second, school influence. This is due to the teacher. He occupies a po sition whose responsibility is second to none. As to qualification, I should say that he should be of good moral character. If practicable a Christian. That he may educate the heart as well as the mind. As Christian education will beautify society and develop a person’s capacity to do right. His in tellect should be well developed. He must be able to attract attention and reach the mind. It may be asked Low HOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE wasted on physicians’ fees by the dyspeptic, the rheumatic, the bilious, and the nervous, when a dollar ex pended on that unapproachable veget able tonic and alterative, “ISimmons’ Hepatic Compound or Liver and Kid ney Cure,” would in every ease effect a radical cure. If you are billions, tongue coated, bad breath, head hot, dull or aching, stomach heavy or sour, if bowels inactive and passages hard and occasional looseness, if your sleep is broken (tossing about in bed), if you get up unrefreshed, if your skin is sallow, eyes yellow, if heavy, dull pains in back and limbs, if you are drowsy, indisposed to talk or act, if any one or more of these symptoms, take a dose of “Simmons’ Hepatic Compound,” and you will get imme diate relief.
