Country Papers?their Use. CouxTRr papers are of much more usej thau people im.igine. They very materially aid in directing pub- j lie Attention to matters in which every citizen 1 of tJie country is more or l?w interested. They contribute f?i a variety of ways, to | the formation of public opiniou on subjects , of public interest. They furnish very convenient mediums L c.. ?? " : < ?

They stimulate a tasto f<?r reading, nnd ' disseminate, in the course of one year, a vast; amount of useful information, much of which : Would uot reach a portion of their readers I through any other channel. They arc of essential use in a family, in ' .fostering a taste for reading among children. Country papers enjoy an advantage in this respect over papers published at a distance, j because mauy of their items aro of a local interest, which naturally attract a child's attention. Tho advertising columns of these papers aro particularly attractive to this class or reaacrs. Country papers, by the loccal information they contain, are often tlie means of drawing! now and vaiuabie citizens to the country in '< which they are published. They aro of essential service in publishing, various items of local intelligence in which j the citizens are nip re or less interested, but i of which many would remain uninformed were it not for these papers. In short?country papers add, in a great variety of ways, to tl*e character, intelligence and prosperity of the country in which they are published. And therefore, have strong chums for support upon all who arc thus directly or indirectly benefited by them. A* to the objection which we not unfrequently hear urged against the support of; country papers that the price charged for them is too high, it n>?v bo replied, that the price at which the paper can be afforded, do-1 ponds mainly on the number of its subseri- j oers. The chief expense in the publication of a paper, consists in setting up the matter, ono thousand, or oven ten thousand copies can be furnished at a very small addition to | the cost over and above the cost of composi-' tion.?Orecntborro1 Beacon. - ... Extraordinary Death. Mr A. I It nitres, of Franklin Ohio, died of hydrupLidda bisi week. ll ap|>un?s lie wAs . l?t by a mad dog some lliirly years ago,1 from the effects of which he recovered, although at irregular intervals he felt a pocu- i liar atuV unpleasant sensation. Being a man i of powerful physical frame weighing near two hundred pounds, it is probable that the strength of his constitution kept the effects of the virus iu his system subdued. On the 15th of January, however, a small half-starved dog bit him on the hand, when ho in- j stantly remarked to his wife that lie never felt such a pain. It seemed to thrill his sys-1 torn like an oloctric shock. Nothing further,: however occurred at that time beyond a very severe liosdach and a slight nervous fever. The Dayton Ovzctle says? "The same d<?g was known to have bitten several hog-*, but not until the hogs became rabid which was several weeks after, was the dog supposed to have been mad. When Mr. Rodgers became acquainted with these , facts he at once felt that, under his peculiar situation, with the virus of a foimer bite in his system, bis case was a helpless one, and .immediately set about closing up bis bu-iuess, and made his will, communicating his apprehensions to no person, not even his family. lie enjoyed imsual health up to Wednesday before his death, wh n the smyp- | toms of hydrophobia began to manifest them selves, causing hint, however, no serious inconvcnienec until Friday morning, when at-i tempting to wn*n Iih bands and face, lie found himself unable to get hi* hands into' the water. He ate but little breakfast, at id in a short time went to bed. About 12 o'eloek Friday night ho was seized by a most fearful spasm which busted for some time. After the spasm passed off lie became quite calm, and conversed almost incessantly, and assured bis friends that he would not harm them in any way. His spasut was on Saturday morning, and more violent than tlic former. The last spasm seemed to rack the sufferer with the most excruciating agony, and was dreadful in the extreme, even to witness.? j 1 Miring all his suffering.; to the very moment' of his death he was conscious of his condition, perfectly rational in all rc*]M>ot*, and seemed to take particular care to harm no, one during his racing tils, although he was' in no way secured, un J in the same room' with his friends and attendants. It is certainly contrary to usual experience that the virus should remain so long in the system, and givo no more decided manifestations of its presence. Hut the case, though ? remarkable one, is by no means an ins-.lated one.

'J'iie Know Nothings have been likened unto Jonah's Uourd?they seem to grow at ' night.

The Court of Coin in on l'leas was in Scs-, sion, and a thronging concourse of people in attendance. On our way we stopped for the night at Crawfordsville, one of the mnnu facturing villages of the District, and met with that generous hospitality for which tli e. good citizens of the country are famous. "We accompanied the kind gehtlemau and good * lady, under whose roof we were so generous Iv entertained, tlic next morning to Chttrth (it being Sabbath.) The factory operatives assembled at the ringing of the bell to their usual place of worship, and were edified with a plain and forcible sermon from the Ilcv.Mr. MeGn.viaiv. I Whilst I was listening to the sermon ami view ing the audience, the most of whom were in very humble circumstances, I could but think how fortunate it was for them to be j blest with the services of the itinerant min-tj istrv, and in having the ministrations of the i gospel performed near their homes. After the morning exorcises were over,' wo went to Nazareth Church, w hore tholter. Mr. liKKn was pleaching to his congregation-1 of lNosbyteriaiis. This is the oldest church in the district and one amongst the oldest in the upper part of the State. This neighborhood has long been noted for its intelligence, refinement, and morality. I'liis Church is situated near the confluence jf North and Middle Tygcr llivers, and dtir- j ng the Tory ascendency in the days of the j devolution the people of this section were .vni nily devoted to the cause of freedom and brmidably know n to the enemy as the 'Tvgor Whigs.' There are many historical facts' ind traditionary stories connected with the j irst settlement of this section, and deeds of laiing performed "in the days which tiiedj men's souls" which should not he perm it to 1 , to die away, hut be faithfully preserved in tlie historic annals of the Histrict. Arriving ;it four o'clock that evening a! j Spartanburg C. II., we met a goodly number of gentlemen of the legal profession at iho Walker-Ilouse. The members of the; Bar have long made this hotel their head quarters whiLt !n attondenee upon Couit. There was a great deal of business in Court, both on the C.iminal and Civil side ind llis Honor Judge Wakim.aw disposed, fit with his characteristic dispatch. My young friend, Col. li.vi.t of Laurens" made his first effort before a Judge and, fury, and though he had but a short lime lo prepare, made a tir t rate speech, and one which relied* credit upon his talents and acquirements. The village is in a very prosperous eon-; dition, and is spreading out on every side.? The Wotl'ord College is completed, and is opening under flattering prospects and favorable ail-pices. The St, John's College has also commenced its exercises, and though the buildings are not as yet complete, it has j fair prospects of success, and will receive the liberal patronage of the denomination by. which it is endowed. Whilst here, I met a number of associates 1 _ . . . . . . i* . aim companions 01 my earner years, aim many joys of the past wore brought pleasing, ly to mind. It is a pleasure to meet with those wit# sported with us in the happy days of child- 1 hood, and joined us in our innocent gain-1 hols, after years have elapsed, and fortune liaped our destinies for different ends. The citizens of Spartanburg village arc verc sociable, and renders the slay of a visitor, by their kindnesses and agreeablencss rpiite pleasant. l?y the by, thcro are a goodly number of handsome and intelligent young ladies in the place, and no doubt iny young friend who accompanied me, would gladly have lingered longer amongst them, i liad not the stern man kites of duty called liim away. Long will f cherish with pleasure the recollections of tins visit to Spartanburg, and boar in mind the kindness of those who contributed so liberally* towards rendering my stay amongst them pleasant and agreeable.

We gave vest p.: day a tolograthio summary of the California news by the steamer ' .Star of the West," at New York. To-day we give the follow ing interesting details from our California exchanges: Among the marriages in San Francisco, we notice that of Mr. Kichard S.

Among the deaths wo notice that of Simon Wyco, late of Westmoreland county' Feb. CO, in l'lncerville. The rain had fallen abundantly,and all the streams were swollen. At Sacramento the river had been rising rapidly, and was only two or three feet below the minimum height attained since the foundation of the city. In the Legislature an important subject of discussion had been the fee bill, reducing materially the fees of slierill's, clerks of courts, Are. It had passed the Assembly, and would probably pass the House. A "conflict of courts" was becoming quite interesting. The Supreme Court of the State decided a month or two ago, that appeals could not he taken from the Stale Courts to the L'nited States, and Judge Shattuck, of the Supreme Court of San Francisco, disregarded this d'-eission, and transferred a cause to the U. S. Pistiict Court. Down comes the Supreme Court with a |>cremptorv niiindainu;, commanding him, Arc.; but it was of no avail, for Judge Shattuck recognizes a higher law, and says he '"shall not touch the ease again."

The San Francisco New* speaks thus on the subject : The most marked revolution in this particular has taken place in the mining counties. In several of these counties there aie as many as eight and ten divisions of the Sous of Temperance, and their number is rapidly increasing. The many bloody fights, sudden deaths, and the loss of money at the numerous drinking and gambling saloons, scattered over the country by the miners, appear to have aroused the people to the dangers which surround tlicin. Many persons not heretofore friendly to tho passage of the Maine Li.ptor Law, as well as others who arc stiil opposed to the very stringent provisions of that act, feel that they should provide sotiic ntcans of counteracting the pernicious influence of these public drinking os iniUMi incut upon tlic jteaco, health mul morals of I 1m: [H*n|i!c.

Lot the front and back wali bo seven feet high ; fix cross ties j half way up the roof for the ceiling, and the : room will be high enough for comfort and health. The cheapest and most suitable roof is rough flooring Iroarda, the grooves filled with n mixture of two thirds coal tar and one-third linseed oil, giving tho whole a thorough coating after it is put on, and sprinkling it thickly with sand. Hv having the, roof extend over one foot or eighteen inches, and putting brackets under, making a window and door in front, a window in one ga- [ ble with a hood over it, a chimney hi the other, ij uoor at the other side with a little , rough pwdi over one or both doors, tho outI >:de while washed and a tree partly shading Jit, a house of sixteen or eighteen feet square would be pretty and attractive. ? ? - *? Baptism of the young Princes3 of Austria. The Journal do Frankfort gives the foli lowing details from Vienna of tho baptism : ! of the young Princess of Austria : "The baptism took place in the church I of tho I lofburg. All the court, in grand costume, and the members of the costume, land the members of the corps diplomatique, I assembled in tbe apartments of the palace, j and, after, having formed a col lage, proceeded to tbe church.

Tlio first grand master of the court having approached with i the young archduchess the step of the high alter, by the side of which stood the Archduchess Sophia, as lirst godmother, the Em1 peror and the archdukes took their place*. The officiating bishop then addressed to the august godmother the usual questions, after j which the ceremony of baptism wasprocced| cd to. After this solemn act tho young ; princess was conveyed to the apartments of ! the Empress. A 1\ Deum was then chanted ; and after it the officiating bishop, with his erosierand mitre, approached the Kinpcrj or and congratulated, him. The Emperor thou left tho church, amidst the sound of trumpets and drums, and proceeded to the apartments cf the Empress. Tho Emperor returned in a few moments to tho Hall of Ceremonies, where lie received the congratulations of the dignitaries of the court, of tho empire, of members of the corps diplomatic \ of the generals and officers of tho garrison." Dangers of a High Pillow. Ir is often it question among penile who ( are unacquainted with the anatomy and phyj siology of man, whether lying with the head i exalted, or even with the l>ody, be more wholesome. Most., consulting their own ]| ease on this point, arguo in favor of that which they prefer. Now, although many delight in bolstering up their heads at night, j and sleep soundly without injury, yet wo dc| elare it to be a dangerous habit. The vessels through whieh the blood passes from the heart to the head are always lessened in their cavities when tho head is resting in bod higher than tho body ; therefore, in nil diseases attended with fever, the head should 1 be pretty nearly on a level wilh tho l>ody ; land people ought to accustom themselves to | sleep thus, to avoid danger.?JCxctviuye, I \Yau against Tliikkv.?We heard a tremendous story the other day, whieh is decidedly ahead of anything that has occurred in out latitude of Into, as a doughty deed of arms, is out iu search of a parrellel.

The French with cool, inflexible courage, until fate, as if ' to lenve the question of superiority still undecided between two such adversaries, . j brought up the Prussians to decide the for- '!" tunes of the field. It was several years afterward that I visited the field of Waterloo. The ploughshare had been busy with its ol?livious labors, and the frequent harvest bail nearly obliterated tho vestiges of war. Still the blackened ruins of Iloguemeut stood, a monumental file, the mark the violence _ of this vehement struggle. Its broken walls, picrcod by bullets, and shattered by exploefons, show ed the deadly strife that had taken plnco within ; when Gaul and Brittoil, hemmed iu between narrow walls, hand to . . hand and foot to foot, fought from garden to court-yard, from courtyard to chamber, with intense and concentrated rivalship. Columns of smoke tower from tiro vortex of battle as from a volcano, "it was" said my guide, "liko a little hell upon earth." Not far ofl* two or three broad spots of rank unwholesome green, still marked the places where these rival warriors, after their fierce and fitful struggle, slept quietly together in the lap of their common mother eurth. Over all the rest of the field, peace had resumed it sway. The thoughtless whistle of tho peasant floated 011 the air instead of the trumpets clangor; the team slowly Inbored up the hillside, once shaken by the hoofs of rushing squadrons ; and wide fields of corn waved peacefully over tho soldiers, grave, n? summer seas dimple over tho place where tho tall ship lies buried.
