By this time cocked It its, gold lace, and all sorts of military gentlemen were about, all giving orders, and no one to work. At last I saw ono engine worked by seven Russian soldiers, cqual to about three Yann kees.. And tho, old Portland and Vigilant wvere mn comparison to these, what your first class engines are to them. Certainly two of these stationed before a baker's oven, work ing with all the power possible for poor Rus sians to put on, would not be the least imped iment to its heating. The consequence was, with all the noise, disorder and mismanage ment, the fire burnt out instead of bteing p~ut out, destroyng about forty buildings, when but one, ifthaat, should have been burned. The manner in which thcse ptowerfulI engines wvere supplied, was by a horse and cart wire a cask, containin-r about one hundred and forty gallons, and'it appeared to meo one horse and cart tended each engine, and thent went for another caskful], aud so on." A new kind of Life-P~reserver has been brought forward in New York, the invent ors of wvhich claim for it thle following ad vantages: "A person wearing one of these life-pre servers can carry fromt fifty to one hundred pounds,. in addition to their person, and float four persons in the water, withkout sinking, and can take no position except with -the head and shoulders entirely above thke wa ter. "The entire person, save the face, is en closed by an India-rubber dress, parts of wvhich are inflateud, enabling the wveakrer to float in an erect, or sleep in a reclining pos t tre or with paddles which are attan led, prepel himself at the rate of three miles an hour. His peorson is kept entirely dry, and the heat of his body so retained that he is warm and comfortable, whken floating on the water in cold weather." DEFAMATION OF THE SOUrI.-Re~v. II, S. Cooke, of Now York, lately sakid that ini Western Virginia thero was no bookstore no Church, and no schoolhaouse; that this territory furnuished large numbers of~ per sons yearly, who emnigratte to the west, and whose ignorance and impiety are to bear directly upon the wvhole country. The Richmond Southerner fixes the the brand of falsehood upont the wholesale defamer. It says: "There are over three hund red Chu rch es in Western Virginin, some two hun. dred and fify Sabbath Schools, t wo Colie eos, besides A cademies and Ihigh Schools L'ho statement that the people of western Virginia ore moving off to the Western States in large numbers is without the least shadowv of truth. A heavy emigra. tion is pouring into that part of Virginia from the North and South. 'The charge that there a re no bookstores or school hou-. ses is a malicious libel on the people1 of Western Virginia. 'This Rev. Mr'. Cooke must be a reckless parson, or he wanted to see to what extent Iho could gaull his hearers, This paragraph htas been going Ind ve oti ~papersnA Woprl t1Qt~I fto nng to 6.6 iT O i Gisatd. by.

HEAD Won.-Head work is the hardest work in the wor'd. The artisan feels this, if at any time he has to spend a whole day in calculation. All men of. learning testify to the same truth, and meagre frames and sal. low comelexions tell aplainer tale than their words. Sir Edward Coke, the great English lawyer, speaks thu3 concerning his great work: "While we were in hand with these four parts of the Instutite, we often having occasion to go into the country, did in some sort envy the honest ploughman and other me. chanics. For, one when he was at work would sing, and the ploughman whistle some self-pleasing tune, and yet their work pro ceeded and succeeded; but he that takes upon imself to write, doth captivate all the facult ice and powers both of his mind and body and must be only attentive to that which he col lecteth without any expression of joy or cheer fulness while he is at his work." Will not these words breathe a degree of consolation to many who heedlessly consider that all toil is confined to the working classes?-Scienti fc American. IIGH COMIPLI.MENT.

A most melancholy occurrence of this kind took.place in Clarendon county, in this din trict, on the 7th inst. A Miss Magdalen Mc.. Cauley, daughterof Mr. George I.

W Leseone, and, on being informed by the ser vant that the family were not at home, remain edir the house awaiting their return. While there, a violent toothache came on, and, as certaining on inquiry that the Doctor's office was closed, so that no relief therefrom could be obtained, she procurod from his medicine trunk, which was brought to her by a servant,. tle only phial therein contaninta very smill quaniity of white pw , t be orphine.

The doctor on his return said there were three grains in the phial. A medical friend informs us that one-sixteenth or one twentieth of a grain is a dose; and that a qu ir-. ter of a grain of morphine nearly equals in bulk a grain of strychnine.
