pected they will meet a similar result in the llous(\ 

 Similar resolutions have also passed the Senate in 

 Georgia. 



Kuropcan dates have been received to the 4tli 

 of December. The French army, composed ol' 

 nearly 60,000 men, had appeared before the cita- 

 del of Antwerp and sunnnoned Gen. Chasse to 

 .sunondcri but that commander expressed his reso- 

 lution rather to be buried uuder its ruins than give 

 it up. I 



The British Parliamenl wtis dissolved by royal 

 proclamation on the 3d of Deceinlicr, and writs 

 Were directed for assembling a new one. 



Rail Roads. It appears from the rejiort of 

 the directors of the Boston and Lowell Rail 

 Koad laid before the Senate, that tlie work is 

 in a state of successful and rapid progression. 

 Since the commencement of the undertaking 

 to , the 20th ult. there has been expended 

 $325,799 55. It also appears from a report made 

 at the same time to the same body that there has 

 been expended on the Boston and Providence 

 Rail Road $18,619 28. 



.in American abroad. It appears by an article 

 ])ublished in the National Intelligencer that Henry 

 Eckford, Esq. of New York, is still busy in the Sul- 

 tan's Navy Yard, and that with his- characteristic 

 energy he has connnenced three seventy-Tours, and 

 one very large line-of-battle ship of the highest 

 rate. The Sultan has presented him with bis 

 own hand Cashmere Shawls of great price, and a 

 gold snuft-box set with diamonds. 



Baron Chasse, the Governor of Antwerp, is said 

 t'> be the grandson of Paul Jones. 



There was a report iu town yesterday, which 

 we were nnable to trace to its origin, that the 

 Company of Rangers, under the command of 

 Captain Boone, bad been attacked by a party of 

 Caninianchees, somewhere on Red River, and de- 

 feated. The account is, that there were fourteen 

 of the whiles killed, and the survivors forced to 

 retreat. From the manner in which the report is 

 said to have been received, we apprehend that it 

 is at least well founded, if not precisely accurate 

 as to details. — SI. Louis Beacon. 



CURE OP A WEN. 



Take alum salt, dissolve it, make a strong brine, 

 simmer it on a fii-e, in which wet a piece of cloth 

 and apply it successively for thirty days, and it 

 will carry it away. I had heard of this simple 

 remedy some years since without placing nnich 

 confidence in its efficac}% but having a negro wo- 

 man who had been afflicted with one of those 

 tumors for sometime, I determined to fry it, and 

 to my great satisfaction find that it has eftt-ctcd an 

 entire cure. Richard Franklin.

MAXIMS REI,ATIISG TO HEALTH. 



It is an ill cu.«tom to drink out of proportion 

 to the solid food we eat. When more liipior is 

 taken than is sutficient, with the saliva, to dilute 

 the aliment, it wears on the secretory organs, (by 

 which perspiration is aflected) hastens on old age, 

 and brings decline the sooner. 



There can be nothing more true than the 

 simple maxim that exercise is indis|iensable to 

 health. They who do not make use of exercise, 

 either for profit or amusement, soon find them- 

 selves advancing on the downhill of life. They 

 who do not work must not eat ; or if they do eat 

 will sufliisr by dyspepsia. 



Lotteries — Are at their last chance. Virginia, 

 Pennsylvania, and New York, are about to put 

 them down. Then conies, we hope, contentment 

 with labor, moderate earnings, and gradual and 

 retained accumulation. 



Scouring in Calves. Young's Annals say that 

 powdered chalk and wheat-meal, worked into a 

 ball with gin will cure scouring in calves. A 

 little air slacked lime will answer as well as ])ow- 

 dered chalk. 



The wife of Mr. Holt, keeper of a Hotel in New 

 York, in addition to the cares of a large establish- 

 ment, has made up with her own liands within 

 the last six years, 1500 towels, 400 pair of sheets, 

 400 pair of pillow cases, all rnfiled or pointed, 250 

 bed ticks, and 300 patchwork bed quilts. Surely 

 a man with such a wife may well build his house 

 of marble, and fill it with luxuries. 



A son of Mr. E. Bobbins of Brewster was drown- 

 ed about a week since, having broken through the 

 ice while skating. 



In Taunton, on the 30th, two boys fell through 

 the ice, while skating, and one, who knew how to 

 swim, rescued both himself and the other. 



Paris, JVov. 10. — The Courier Francais states, 

 as a curious fact, that the Emperor of Russia has 

 lately granted to Charles X. a pension, to be paid 

 out of funds proceeding from confiscated property 

 in Poland, belonging to the defenders of liberty. 



In our paper of last week there was an important error in the 

 communication relative to makings soap — For twenty bushels 

 ashes read two husliels hard wood ashes.
