J&tT Mr. Gilkey of the Journal—the

jihrenological subject we mean—has lately inudo a most distressing onslaught upon

•the character and official deportment of 'Judge DAUOUEMT. This was all very

Tpaiuful indeed, and particulaily unfortunate :u8 to the lime il was made. Mr. Gilkey ,t ought to have reflected that it was Court %cck, time when the Judge's mind ought

^to have been left perfectly unmolested—n £ommun sense of propriety, and the public

•good demanded this much. We have seen •no little distraction produced in many di

rections— clients having business to be

transacted have been uneasy lest the Judge in the vexed condition into which Mr. Gil-

lioy's severities unavoidably cast him,

-would find his usual equilibrium so disqui

«ted, that he could not with his ordinary

FKUIT TREKS.—

The Niles Republican says that this winter has demonstrated one fact in relation to fruit

trees which farmers should understand, that is, that foreign fruit trees, we mean those not raised and climated in this country,

liavi been killed, while those raised here,

standing side by shde with those raised in Rochester and Ohio are not killed. For

instance, two thousand peach, pear, apple

and cherry trees, from Rochester nurseries,

were planted at the nursery of Mr. Bort last fall for safe keeping, and every tree has

b.'en killed by the severity of the winter,

white apple trees hilled in, in the same manner, raised here, standing directly by them, now

thrifty scions. There are also

a large number of trees at the same place from Cleveland, entirely killed. This shows

that fruit trees raised here become acclimated and stand the severity of our winters

better than those raised abroad, and that

people should procure fruit trees raised as

near thoir homes as possible., 'f •. •!& mm The Boston Traveller is informed that milk is now adulterated in this country

by a chcmical, a French invention, of inconsistence of tar. giving the milk a color

atid body of which it had been deprived bv a free use of water, aud adds that a person

has lately visited that city from New York, offering to teach the milkmen, for a '-'con

sideration," how to use this new adulteration. The punishment of a butcher in Tur

key who sold diseased meat, was formerly to nail his ear to the door of his shop, and

keep him there for some hours. This chap

who ottVrs to (each the art of adultrratin"O milk, ought to be handed over to a Turkish

magistrate.

,j The great objection to a certain kind

of piety just now extant is its wonderful tendency toward the Sharpe's rifle system.

It's professors are not half so wise as ser-

—a regularly-built row, but then they do

not look well at church. Such fellows never do/

Another kind or piety somewhat objec

THE SCHOOLMASTER'S ADIF.U-DO, lir.jS&iTon:—Permit a warn admirer of .sc^oolftoastejrs, in general, and Joseph Ad-

disoa Napoteon Bonaparte Gilkey, P. P.r in particular, to review that distinguished

parsonage's late -Valedictory Address, delivered at tlfe close of his-school ia Alamo

Ind., 18 March, 1855 Mr. Gilkey's emotions on that most in

teresting occasion were deeply stirred or, in his own eloquent words, he had the

"profoundest feelings of joy, mingled with those of deepest sadness"—in the former of

which, doubtless, the "respected audience" fully sympathized. In fact, no great man ever did feel so deeply as we are sure the

'speaker must have felt. His was no com

mon adieu. He was leaving the home of his childhood, and, of course, he was af

flicted with the pangs of memory. When

alluding to this remarkable fact, the orator most appropriately quoted the charmingly

tender words of that sweet poem, only one

stanza of which I here insert, because the deeply pathetic manner of the speaker can

never be propeily represented on paper.—

It must be seen to be appreciated. But, Mr. Editor, it would have done any one's soul good to have heard him pronouuee

these words:

"IIow dear to.my .heart is Mchitabic Junkins, 'i

When chance or good fortune presents, hereto vicWj .:r .. ,,» .'v^ /~J Slit's sweeter than ho&S. cr e'en piua made of pumpkins, 7 *51' And the loveliest doughnut tho world cvor knew. Her lKrge. mat*v head, and tho enrla which hung b\ it, 'f

Her graceful, swan nook, end the bosom so nigh it, And e'en her great bustle that niado such a swell!"

It is greatly to be regretted, that Mr. G. "left out" one of the sweetest lines in the

poem from which he quoted.It would

have added greatly to the effect, if, indeed,

that were possible, for I assure you there was not a dry eye in the assembly, and

some were so much affected that they re

tired without the sound of the speaker's

voicc, lest their agitation should be too visible. 1'

Mr. Gilkey had the honor of securing the

services of a distinguished poet, for the ex

hibition, as he says "But another Poet has so beautifully described my feelings on this

occasion." It is a fixed fact, then, that

Mr. G. is a favorite with the dwellers on Parnas&us

It ought to be remarked right here, per

haps, that a slight—very slight, vein of

egotism appears to run through the oration. In fact, one who is not acquainted with Mr.

G's. transcendant abilities, would think his

egotism actually detestable, if not horridly sickening. But if so great and glorious a

man cannot be egotistical, who can, pray?

That is the question.

But passing over a large portion of this chief of all the valedictories, we will only

say that the immediate "adieu, adieu" to parents, pupils, all, is one of the finest

specimens of the true pathetic, I have met with for many a year. Oliilde Harold's

Good night is nothing to it, and it may well

be questioned whether it does not contain

more unstudied, perfectly natural pathos than can be found in all the mere prose ev

er written in any one language. Not only

does the o'rator bid a fond adieu, in "lengthened sweetness long drawn out" to his au

dience, but he throws life into his "beloved profession," shakes it, her, or him, affec

tionately by the hand and gasps out "farewell perhaps forever." Whether tho "be

loved profession" returned a reply is no1 certainly known—rather suspect not. But

then comes another poetical quotation, when the curtain drops, the scene isepded. The

audience depart, with melancholy counte

nances, and the days of Mr. GHkey's school

teaching are ended forevermare. The last man leaves, tearfully muttering, "Fare thee will, and if f'*rov&j,

It was productive too, of all'so.rto of corruption and intrigue, and greatly interfered with its legitimate business. The consequence of the general prevalence of these impressions was such that,, in 1824, when the asnai Congressional caucus was called at Washington for the nomination 6f President and Vice President, butsii'y-six out of the two hundred Democratic memlpcrs of Congress attended its deliberations. That small minority nominated Mr. Crawford, of Georgia, for President, but the nomination was not responded to by the Democratic masses.— Several other candidates presented themselves in the persons of General Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and John Quincy Adams, who claimed to be a sort of quasiDemocrut. The result of the contest is well known General Jaekson received the highest electoral vote, but, as he had not a majority oyer all, Mr. Adams was chosen by the House.
