TRI ES ET TS LUI FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 3a, 1857. SL SRA CS A Democratic Primary E.ection.— The Democrats held their primary election for candidates to the County Convention on Saturday. The usual concomitants of an election were to be seen. ‘There was considerable excitement, some fighting, and whisky drinkThe whole number of The Findley-Weller ticket was victorious by about a ing ad libitum. votes cast was 682. hundred majority. The opposition ticket was made up of men supposed to be in favor of Dawley for State Treasurer, and McCorkle, for Governor. The following are the delegates elect to the County Convention : A. T. Laird, T. Stroud, U. 8. Gregory, M. Sullivan, S. H. Chase, J. B. Van . Hagan, Phil Moore, F. Burmister, H. Meredith, J. Maguire, E. Cain, H. Mills, . J. Blatteau, A. J. Knecttle, J. Handley, W. Allen. The other precincts in the county have gone generally in favor of the same stripe of ticket. Nevada has thus pronounced for Weller and against the Broderick wing.— Such has been the result in most of the counties of the State, so far as heard . . from. Weller thus seems to be the . choice of the Democracy for Governor. > Yet he, nor his friends, need count “his Weller had a majority in the last Legislature, when calling and election sure.” it asgembled, but his antagonist was too many for him in manufacturing votes.

The average amount per scholar received from the State, is $2.08 per annum. We are inclined to think the census of children in this county has been incorrectly taken. t= There is an organization in Phil. adelphia, composed of a number of printers, called the “Last Man Society,” whoa few days ago, partook of their second annual supper. Its members are to partake of a supper annually until the “last man” only is left, who will, himself, observe the anniversary of the society by feasting alone. Our readers may remember the story in Blackwood, of a similar social band, which is replete with solemn interest The “last man ” of the circle died seated alone at the last supper.

He is afflicted with just enough of the cacethes to fancy himself “some ’’—a little deeper draughts from the Muse’s spring would cause him to write better, and still open his eyes to the folly of publishing the improved effusions. The volume contains about 200 pages, one-half of which are taken up with a story entitled Minnie Montgomery,” in neither prose nor verse. The story itself, it well told, in good prose, would do well enough for the columns of the “Flag of our Union” and kindred sheets. fit for even that. As it is, it is not The other pieces are common place affairs—a really good specimen of versification not being found in the book.

WATER.---A Beautiful Extract. We take the following beautiful extract from an evceedingly well written story by “ Summerfield,” and for beauty of perception, poetic inspiration, sublimity of thought, and perspicuity of expression, we deem it unsurpassed : “Not in the glimmering still, over smoky fires, choked with poisonous gas, and surrounded with the stench of sickening odors and rank corruption, doth our Father in Heaven prepare the precious essence of life—the pure, cold water. But in the green glade and grassy dell, where the red deer wanders, and the child loves to play, where God himself brews it, and down, low down in the valley, where the fountains murmur and the rills sing; and high up on the tall mountain tops where the naked granite glitters like gold in the sun. where the storm cloud blows and the thunderstorms crash ; and away, far out ; on the wide, wild sea, where the hurricane howls music, and the big waves roar the chorus, “ sweeping the march of God ’’—there he brews it, that beverage of life, health-giving wator.— And everywhere it is a thing of beauty —gleaming in the dewdrop ; singing in the summer rain; shining in the icegem, till the trees all seem to turn to living jewels—spreading a golden veil over the setting sun, or a white gauze around the midnight moon ; sporting in the cataract ; sleeping in the glacier; dancing in the hail shower, folding its bright snow-curtains softly about th wintry world; and weaving the many colored iris, that seraph’s zone of the sky, whose heart is the rain drop of Heaven, all speckled o’er with celestial flowers, by the mystic hand of refraction. Always it is beautiful—that blessed life-water. No poison bubbles on its brink ; its foam brings not madness and murder; no blood stains its liquid glass; pale widows and starving orphans weep not burning tears in its clear depths; no drunkard’s shrieking ghost from the grave, curses it in words of eternal despair. And would you exchange it for the demon’s drink 2” Mrs. Pierce.—The health of the estimable wife of ex-President Pierce has greatly improved during the tour that she has taken witk her husband. since his retirement from the cares and perplexities of office. The White House has generally been honored and embellished by the women who have at various times presided over its household, aud dispensed its hospitalities; and all accounts agree that Mrs. Pierce proved herself worthy of the station upon which she entered under such peculiar cireumstances of domestic affliction, but the duties of which she fulfilled with grace, dignity and fortitude.— Providence Jour.

WH ‘Webster on the Death of his Wife. The following letter from the private . correspondence of the “Godlike Dan-. iel,’”’ is copied from a late number of the Boston Transcript : WASHINGTON, March 21, 1828. My Dear Nephew :—I thank you for your kind and affectionate letter, and assure you its suggestions are all in strict accordance with my own feelings. It does not appear to me to be unreasonable that the friendships of this life are perpetuated in heaven. Flesh and blood, indeed, cannot inherit the kingdom of God, but I know not why that which constitutes a pure source of happiness on earth, individual affection and love, may not survive the tomb. In: deed, is not the principle of happiness to the sentient being essentially the same in heaven and on earth? The love of God and of the good beings whom he has created, and the admiration of the material universe which he has formed, can there be other sources of happiness than those to the human mind. unless it is to alter the whole structure and character ? And again, it may be asked, how can this world rightly be called a scene of probation and discipline, if these affections, which we are commanded to cherish and cultivate here, are to leave us on the threshold of the other world? These views, and many others, would seem to lead to the belief, that earthly affections purified and exalted are’fit to carry with us to the abode of the blessed. Yet it must be confessed that there are some things in the New Testament which may possibly countenance u different conclusion. The words of our Savior, especially in regard to the wo}inan who had seven husbands, deserve deep reflection. I am free to confess that some descriptions of heavenly happiness are so ethereal and sublimated as to fill me with a strange sort of terror. Even that which you quote, that our departed friends “are as the angels of God,” penetrates my soul with a dreadful emotion. Like an angel of God, indeed, I hope she is in purity, in happiness, and in immortality ; but I would fain hope that in kind remembrance of those she has left in a i lingering human sympathy and human . love, she may yet be as God originally, created her, a little lower than the an. gels. My dear nephew, I cannot pursu OLE NUMBER 371. New Printinc Macnine.—We have received the American Phrenological Journal for May; putlished by Messrs. Fowler & Wells, of New York. As usual it contains much us¢ful and instructive information. From it, we leart that there is soon to comé before the public a printing machine, or, as it may be more properly called, the “ Editors’ ee cP and Business Man’s Momentary Recorder,” which has been recently invented by Mr. Benjamin Livermore, of Hartland, Vermont. This curious little piece of Yankee mechanism is made entirely of steel, and opérated in the pocket with ease. The writing, or type, somewhat rerembles the old English type; the paper is carried inside the case, which is confined upon two small rollers at each end of the case, yhich moves along as fast as the lines are printed; the inking apparatus is also carried withinthe case, and so arranged, by means of a pece of cloth or paper saturated with ink, that the type is inked, and the entire operation performed without any other movement except bearing down upon six keys, which are attached to one end of the case. The inventor says that by means of this machine he can print with as great rapidity as the most expert accountants can write; and with as much adroitness while walking, riding, running, or talking. It will he of great utility to editors, correspondents, and practical business men; also clergymen and lawyers, and, in fact, all who have writing of any {amount to do, as it can be used while . riding in the cars, or elsewhere, where the pen and ink cannot be used. It is constructed upon such a plan that it can be made almost any size, from two inches to six feet in length. The one which Mr. Livermore has now completed and in use, is but five inches long, three wide, and one and a half in thickness,and carries twenty feet of printed paper, three inches wide, upon its two rollers. GREAT MEN THEIR OWN TEACHERS. —Those men who have been the most useful to their species, have not been educated in the universities and colleges ; and those few who have made any figure in the world, who have spent some time in such institutions, owed their utility to some fortuitous cireumthese thoughts nor turn back to se Adieu, DW: what I have written. {= They torture people in China Here case that occurred, a few months ago, ir a plaee called Si-lin. Mons. Chapde laine, a French Missionary, was arrest He wa brought before the tribunal; the man . sometimes. is an account of « ed because, he preached. darin began by ordering one hundre blows on the face, to be inflicted on hi with a leather shoe-sole. He then} made him lie down, and he was beaten with three hundred strokes of a cang. As during this double torture M. Chapdelaine uttered no complaint nor groan, the mandarin, attributing this long suffering to the influence of some charm, causec the throat of a dog to be cut, and sprinkled the poor sufferer with its blood, in order to dissipate the magi¢. Next day, the mandarin learning that M. Chapdelaine was still able to walk, he ordered him to be beaten till his strength should be exhausted; when it was announced that the victim could no stances, which surrounded them after they left college. The best informed and most useful men in all couatries, generally speaking, have been those that edneated themselves, for the dogmatical assertions of the learned professors preclude all reasoning, and occustom their pupils to take for granted every thing they hear, without investigation. That the men most useful to their country and to the world have not passed through the discipline of colleges or universities, requires only the citation of a few to prove; such as Columbus, Washington, Franklir, Paine, Shakespeare, Penn, Cromwell, Rittenhouse, Moliere, Linnaeus, Priestnitz,&e. &c., with almost all the brilliant heroes that astonished the world by their exertions during the French Revobution. The mechanical habit of committing to memory, without reasoning or refléétion, puts to sleep all the energies of the other faculties, which are never awakened but by the shock of some extraordinary circumstances. This accounts for the number of great men brought ot by the violent movement of every change longer move, they put him upon a sort of apparatus with springs, that crushed In this condition he was hung up. ‘Lastly, when on the point of death, he was decapitated. — His head was hung up to a tree, but the children pelting it with stones, it fell down, and was devoured by the dogs and pigs. him as in a press. OriGin ur THE Bonnet.—The first bonnet worn mm England was brought from Italy in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and its form was a compromise between the present Italian peasant hat and the French hood. The materials employed in constructing these head ornaments were crimson satin, elaborately embroidered, cloth of gold, and similar rich materials. The leghorn flat, with perpendicular crown and wide brim standing out far around the face, was the first legitimate bonnet worn, and this appeared long after Queet Elizabeth’s time. It was trimmed with artifieial flowers and immense bows of ribbon. Our present neat and exquisitely delicate and tasteful head sar is but a modification of this huge affair, which, until not very many years back, was so universally worn and admired. t= Ex-Governor Ramsey, in an address at an agricultural fair in Minnesota, says there is yet room in that territory for a million and a half more of farmers. He thinks Minnesota will some day produce more corn and wheat than any other State in the Union. or revolution, either in Church of State. ee Ser eS x Scene From A New DRAMA entitled “The Phaniom Mufjiehead : or, The Soldier’s Oath.” Father.—Do you béhold 2 Son.—He sees me.

TRI ES ET TS LUI FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 3a, 1857. SL SRA CS A Democratic Primary E.ection.— The Democrats held their primary election for candidates to the County Convention on Saturday. The usual concomitants of an election were to be seen. ‘There was considerable excitement, some fighting, and whisky drinkThe whole number of The Findley-Weller ticket was victorious by about a ing ad libitum. votes cast was 682. hundred majority. The opposition ticket was made up of men supposed to be in favor of Dawley for State Treasurer, and McCorkle, for Governor. The following are the delegates elect to the County Convention : A. T. Laird, T. Stroud, U. 8. Gregory, M. Sullivan, S. H. Chase, J. B. Van . Hagan, Phil Moore, F. Burmister, H. Meredith, J. Maguire, E. Cain, H. Mills, . J. Blatteau, A. J. Knecttle, J. Handley, W. Allen. The other precincts in the county have gone generally in favor of the same stripe of ticket. Nevada has thus pronounced for Weller and against the Broderick wing.— Such has been the result in most of the counties of the State, so far as heard . . from. Weller thus seems to be the . choice of the Democracy for Governor. > Yet he, nor his friends, need count “his Weller had a majority in the last Legislature, when calling and election sure.” it asgembled, but his antagonist was too many for him in manufacturing votes.

We are inclined to think the census of children in this county has been incorrectly taken. t= There is an organization in Phil. adelphia, composed of a number of printers, called the “Last Man Society,” whoa few days ago, partook of their second annual supper. Its members are to partake of a supper annually until the “last man” only is left, who will, himself, observe the anniversary of the society by feasting alone. Our readers may remember the story in Blackwood, of a similar social band, which is replete with solemn interest The “last man ” of the circle died seated alone at the last supper.

The volume contains about 200 pages, one-half of which are taken up with a story entitled Minnie Montgomery,” in neither prose nor verse. The story itself, it well told, in good prose, would do well enough for the columns of the “Flag of our Union” and kindred sheets. fit for even that.

WATER.---A Beautiful Extract. We take the following beautiful extract from an evceedingly well written story by “ Summerfield,” and for beauty of perception, poetic inspiration, sublimity of thought, and perspicuity of expression, we deem it unsurpassed : “Not in the glimmering still, over smoky fires, choked with poisonous gas, and surrounded with the stench of sickening odors and rank corruption, doth our Father in Heaven prepare the precious essence of life—the pure, cold water. But in the green glade and grassy dell, where the red deer wanders, and the child loves to play, where God himself brews it, and down, low down in the valley, where the fountains murmur and the rills sing; and high up on the tall mountain tops where the naked granite glitters like gold in the sun. where the storm cloud blows and the thunderstorms crash ; and away, far out ; on the wide, wild sea, where the hurricane howls music, and the big waves roar the chorus, “ sweeping the march of God ’’—there he brews it, that beverage of life, health-giving wator.— And everywhere it is a thing of beauty —gleaming in the dewdrop ; singing in the summer rain; shining in the icegem, till the trees all seem to turn to living jewels—spreading a golden veil over the setting sun, or a white gauze around the midnight moon ; sporting in the cataract ; sleeping in the glacier; dancing in the hail shower, folding its bright snow-curtains softly about th wintry world; and weaving the many colored iris, that seraph’s zone of the sky, whose heart is the rain drop of Heaven, all speckled o’er with celestial flowers, by the mystic hand of refraction. Always it is beautiful—that blessed life-water. No poison bubbles on its brink ; its foam brings not madness and murder; no blood stains its liquid glass; pale widows and starving orphans weep not burning tears in its clear depths; no drunkard’s shrieking ghost from the grave, curses it in words of eternal despair. And would you exchange it for the demon’s drink 2” Mrs. Pierce.—The health of the estimable wife of ex-President Pierce has greatly improved during the tour that she has taken witk her husband. since his retirement from the cares and perplexities of office. The White House has generally been honored and embellished by the women who have at various times presided over its household, aud dispensed its hospitalities; and all accounts agree that Mrs. Pierce proved herself worthy of the station upon which she entered under such peculiar cireumstances of domestic affliction, but the duties of which she fulfilled with grace, dignity and fortitude.— Providence Jour.

WH ‘Webster on the Death of his Wife. The following letter from the private . correspondence of the “Godlike Dan-. iel,’”’ is copied from a late number of the Boston Transcript : WASHINGTON, March 21, 1828. My Dear Nephew :—I thank you for your kind and affectionate letter, and assure you its suggestions are all in strict accordance with my own feelings. It does not appear to me to be unreasonable that the friendships of this life are perpetuated in heaven. Flesh and blood, indeed, cannot inherit the kingdom of God, but I know not why that which constitutes a pure source of happiness on earth, individual affection and love, may not survive the tomb. In: deed, is not the principle of happiness to the sentient being essentially the same in heaven and on earth? The love of God and of the good beings whom he has created, and the admiration of the material universe which he has formed, can there be other sources of happiness than those to the human mind. unless it is to alter the whole structure and character ? And again, it may be asked, how can this world rightly be called a scene of probation and discipline, if these affections, which we are commanded to cherish and cultivate here, are to leave us on the threshold of the other world? These views, and many others, would seem to lead to the belief, that earthly affections purified and exalted are’fit to carry with us to the abode of the blessed. Yet it must be confessed that there are some things in the New Testament which may possibly countenance u different conclusion. The words of our Savior, especially in regard to the wo}inan who had seven husbands, deserve deep reflection. I am free to confess that some descriptions of heavenly happiness are so ethereal and sublimated as to fill me with a strange sort of terror. Even that which you quote, that our departed friends “are as the angels of God,” penetrates my soul with a dreadful emotion. Like an angel of God, indeed, I hope she is in purity, in happiness, and in immortality ; but I would fain hope that in kind remembrance of those she has left in a i lingering human sympathy and human . love, she may yet be as God originally, created her, a little lower than the an. gels. My dear nephew, I cannot pursu OLE NUMBER 371. New Printinc Macnine.—We have received the American Phrenological Journal for May; putlished by Messrs. Fowler & Wells, of New York. As usual it contains much us¢ful and instructive information. From it, we leart that there is soon to comé before the public a printing machine, or, as it may be more properly called, the “ Editors’ ee cP and Business Man’s Momentary Recorder,” which has been recently invented by Mr. Benjamin Livermore, of Hartland, Vermont. This curious little piece of Yankee mechanism is made entirely of steel, and opérated in the pocket with ease. The writing, or type, somewhat rerembles the old English type; the paper is carried inside the case, which is confined upon two small rollers at each end of the case, yhich moves along as fast as the lines are printed; the inking apparatus is also carried withinthe case, and so arranged, by means of a pece of cloth or paper saturated with ink, that the type is inked, and the entire operation performed without any other movement except bearing down upon six keys, which are attached to one end of the case. The inventor says that by means of this machine he can print with as great rapidity as the most expert accountants can write; and with as much adroitness while walking, riding, running, or talking. It will he of great utility to editors, correspondents, and practical business men; also clergymen and lawyers, and, in fact, all who have writing of any {amount to do, as it can be used while . riding in the cars, or elsewhere, where the pen and ink cannot be used. It is constructed upon such a plan that it can be made almost any size, from two inches to six feet in length. The one which Mr. Livermore has now completed and in use, is but five inches long, three wide, and one and a half in thickness,and carries twenty feet of printed paper, three inches wide, upon its two rollers. GREAT MEN THEIR OWN TEACHERS. —Those men who have been the most useful to their species, have not been educated in the universities and colleges ; and those few who have made any figure in the world, who have spent some time in such institutions, owed their utility to some fortuitous cireumthese thoughts nor turn back to se Adieu, DW: what I have written. {= They torture people in China Here case that occurred, a few months ago, ir a plaee called Si-lin.

Chapdelaine uttered no complaint nor groan, the mandarin, attributing this long suffering to the influence of some charm, causec the throat of a dog to be cut, and sprinkled the poor sufferer with its blood, in order to dissipate the magi¢. Next day, the mandarin learning that M. Chapdelaine was still able to walk, he ordered him to be beaten till his strength should be exhausted; when it was announced that the victim could no stances, which surrounded them after they left college. The best informed and most useful men in all couatries, generally speaking, have been those that edneated themselves, for the dogmatical assertions of the learned professors preclude all reasoning, and occustom their pupils to take for granted every thing they hear, without investigation. That the men most useful to their country and to the world have not passed through the discipline of colleges or universities, requires only the citation of a few to prove; such as Columbus, Washington, Franklir, Paine, Shakespeare, Penn, Cromwell, Rittenhouse, Moliere, Linnaeus, Priestnitz,&e. &c., with almost all the brilliant heroes that astonished the world by their exertions during the French Revobution. The mechanical habit of committing to memory, without reasoning or refléétion, puts to sleep all the energies of the other faculties, which are never awakened but by the shock of some extraordinary circumstances. This accounts for the number of great men brought ot by the violent movement of every change longer move, they put him upon a sort of apparatus with springs, that crushed In this condition he was hung up. ‘Lastly, when on the point of death, he was decapitated. — His head was hung up to a tree, but the children pelting it with stones, it fell down, and was devoured by the dogs and pigs. him as in a press. OriGin ur THE Bonnet.—The first bonnet worn mm England was brought from Italy in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and its form was a compromise between the present Italian peasant hat and the French hood. The materials employed in constructing these head ornaments were crimson satin, elaborately embroidered, cloth of gold, and similar rich materials. The leghorn flat, with perpendicular crown and wide brim standing out far around the face, was the first legitimate bonnet worn, and this appeared long after Queet Elizabeth’s time. It was trimmed with artifieial flowers and immense bows of ribbon. Our present neat and exquisitely delicate and tasteful head sar is but a modification of this huge affair, which, until not very many years back, was so universally worn and admired. t= Ex-Governor Ramsey, in an address at an agricultural fair in Minnesota, says there is yet room in that territory for a million and a half more of farmers. He thinks Minnesota will some day produce more corn and wheat than any other State in the Union. or revolution, either in Church of State. ee Ser eS x Scene From A New DRAMA entitled “The Phaniom Mufjiehead : or, The Soldier’s Oath.” Father.—Do you béhold 2 Son.—He sees me.
