The rent chargabie to the company on account of tha said Mirtinsville Branch under the nistiug contract with the company owinir the same, is S45 000 per year. The proportionate anioutit of rent lor said barnch lor the period of said mooth and five days would therefore be $5 230. This sum added to the deficit, would show a uet losj on said braucu for the said period of Sli, 87U 34.

' 'The rrcoiveis, therefore, pray advice or instruc ion of the Court as to their rights aud dunes in the ptemtse,' When thu petition wasfiiled by soaia of the holdets of the orri;inal stock, to put the business of the road in the hands of receivers, it was hoped and believed the Court would hold the leases, il not utterly void, at least voidable at the will of holders tf stock of the main trunk, on the grounds hat the officers and direo ors had no authority under the chatter to make such leases. 0i this point it is ordered and directed by the Court as follows ; co far as relates to the du'ies of said receivers in respect of siid branch roads iu as much as the rights of p-irties not before the Court may he involved, the prayer of the receivers (or instrucions is refused, but authority is hereby given them to euter iuto any contract or c-ntraot with the respective lessors of said branch roads, whereby said brauch roads may be surren leied to said ruspecive lessors, or whereby the leases or cn!tacts under which re--tieciive said branch roads are operated uty be so mod tied by theontent of ptr ties interested as that said branch roads may be operated without loss. Also au thority is hereby given to said receivers, in'their discretion, to institute in this or any ithcr Court of competent jurisdiction any legal proceeding or proceedings looking to the determination of such leases or contracts, or either of them, as in the judgement of said receivers, upon the ad vice of counsel, shall seem expedient." If the Court, after these third parties have beeu brought before it, should hold that thse leases are voidable, then the barnches would go back to the lessors of the same, aud the main stem would be operated upon its own merits. I am told lhat the road holds the liile to a very large amount of valuable real estate in Cincinnati and along the line This cou d be sold and lhe proceeds would go far toward paying 'he fi mating debt, and with this debt canceled, and the road economic eilly managed, it would keep down the interest of the bonded debt and pay a reasonable dividend on the s-tock.

Society gossip is becoming as es. sential to one class of newspapers as garbage is to garbage wagons. Every unmarried lady of forty has passed the Cape of Goad II ope

Selling by Weight. A correspondent of the Journal of the Dartn talks of selling by weight in the fol lowing manner : The fact is, selling by weight is the only fair way of dealing, and the wobder is. lhat Congress has not long since taken tha matter in hand, and Dassed a law: compelling it. Those who bava beu in the habit of buying potatoes, apples, turnips, or in fact any vegetables or fruits, that are sold by measure, cannot fail to have noticed how frequently a skillful measurer will defraud them otit of a large portion of their honest dues. Were these 'articles sold by weight, such frauds could not be practiced, unless the scales were not properly balanced. A pouud is a pound; aud nothing more or less, but a peck -f potatoes or apples represents nothing deSuite. By the measurment of one individual who understands the art of making the fewest potatoes fill the vessel, the weight will be much smaller than the filling of tha sme measure by one less experienced or more honest It cao be safely asserted that tbe d.njreoce on the average will not vary much from twenty five per cent. Now if these articles were sold by weight there could be no departure from accuracy, and if farmers were compelled to sell as well as buy by weight they would in the end be uoue the losers. This we believe they are all nearly ready to admit, and would cheerfully comply with tbe terms of a law making it obligatory upon them. The opposition would come from the middle men or hucksters, who buying at wholesale, dispose of their purcha-es in smaller iuantities. Hence tha sufferers are mainly the cousumers, aud ot these, persous in humble means form no in eon" siderable part. Justice to this class, aud iu fact to all classes, demands that the measure system be abolished, aud that of weight substituted, and if some of our prominent members of Congress would forget for a brief season their desire to distinguish themselves in politics, and devote some time to the perfecting of a law compelling all sales of solids to bo made by weight, they would be eutitlcd to the gratitude eud respect of the whole country Another correspondent says : I have long been of opinion, that that is the only bonest way ( dispose of various articles of common consumption, la addition to the articles enumerated "potatoes, apples, turuips, aud any veatables or fruits that are sold by measure," I would add also egus, uow numbered, and, lime, at present sold by measure. The latter article so extensively used by farmers and builders, is often unsatisfactory to buyers for alleged deficiency in measure. I his uo doubt arrises more frequently from carelessuees in the measurer than dishonesty in the dealer. How readily might this ba remedied by tho use of a pla'furm scale. How quickly aud easily mioht wagons thus be tided and weighed lhe time saved wou.d spedily pay the cost of the scales. I would particularly recommend that various fluids also be sold by weight Who that buys molasses or syrup by the quart or gallon gels anything like tbe quauiity for which he pays? In the win ter, owing to the thickening of those articles, it is vain to expect it. Even the houest seller is frequently unable, owing to the impatience of customers, to give the amount paid lor; a large poriiou sucks to the measure. 1 have uo doubt tha deficiency in this manner amounts to nearly one fourth of the nominal measure, and unfortunately the greater part of this loss falls upon the poor who are ill able to bear it. It seemes to me very slrango that varnishes and liuseed and other oils should ever have been sold by measure. The necessity for keeping lots of measures of all sorts and sizes with the attendant waste aud trouble, should long ago have established a system more simple, cleanly, and economical. Iu England these articles are always sold by weight, whether the quaotity required is au ouuee or a tou. Remedy for Croup We have beeu interested iu reading the following statemeut made to us by an intelligent mother. We give our readers the benefit of it, or at least au opportunity to test whether it has auy benefit: A remedy for croup was given me by a a sister who heard it from Fof.

In spite of all I could do he con. tinucd to grow worse, uutil he could only .;asp and breath with his head thrown hack. lie thought his last moment had come, when I thought of aud applied Dronsou's remedy for a miuute. Wheu I stopped he looked up and said. 'Do so again, mother do, though h could not speak when L began, lotl m ty be assured that I did so agan, and it saved his life. "Laws of Lite.

WHOLE NO. 471; A Remarkable Boy. Farmer Bogles was a varacious old dod ger. If there was anything he delighted id it was to secure the attention of some one while he span a yarn about the won derful cutencss of bis boy, Tom. Tom as his idol his hero on every occasion aud never would tbe old fellow let his hero autJer for want of a romance. 'Ah,' said Bogles, one day, as be had fairly fixed his auditor, 'Tom is the most remarkable boy you ever set eyes on, he's like h's old dad you cau't no more sarcumvent him than you can a wuodchuck You recolect that choice apple-tree that stood dow under tbe hill, beside tbe stump fence? Weil, I was mighty savin' o' them apples, I can tell you. 1 forbid Tom touchin' 'em, as they brought a high price in market, and every one told; but he would get 'am in spite of me It was his way, you know, aod all possesed couldn't stop him.

' Thornis, my son. says I; 'your father's callin ve come dowu.' 'I thought I'd be sort o' persuasive, so it would fetch him; but he smelt a rat, aud didu't budge au inch. '1 cau't dad, said he. 'these pcky ap jjles are iu the way.' 'Tom,' I continued, sternly, for my dander began to rise, 'come down this minute or I will cut dowu the tree and let you fall.' 'You see my poor limbs wouldn't permit me shinnin, after the boy, bo 1 had to take other means. "Oh, uo, you won't, dad,' says Tom, 'only think how you'd mourn if you couldu'i sell the apples to stuff the old loadaskin.' 'That was too much to have my own boy accuse me of. So wat does I do but git the axa and cut away at the bottom of the tree. "Tom Thomas,' I cried, as the tree was about half cut off, 'will jou come down now, aud save yourself?' ".Never mind, dad,' says he, 'I aiu't spoilin '.' 'It was no use ; Icouldn't brio him down that way , aud so I chopped away at the tree, till at last it bjgau tu sway, and fell to the groutid.' 'What! aod crushed your own boy!' ej aculated his horified listener. Not by a long chalk,' ret lied old Bogles, winking knowingly. Sou can't come it over Tom in any such way. What bad he done but crawled out on a limb, and when I was choppiu' at the bottom of the tree, he bad beeu cuttiu off the limb with his jack-knife, aud wheu tbo tree fell, there he was stilt up thre on the limit., An Austrian Cure for Drunkenness. The soldier taken in a state of intoxica tion, or purposely inebriated, is confined to his room, where his diet is carefully and amply supplied to hiui, according to his choice. For drink, be is allowed brandy aod water, iu the proportion of one-third brandy to two-thirds water. All his food is prepared in a week solution of braody and water. Coffee, with a small quantity of brandy, is also allowed him. At first, the treatment throws the patient into a constant state of intoxication, and he sleeps much. At tho eud of three or four days he takes a dislike to his food and drinks, aud asks lor a change, Which request, were it acceded to, would entirely prevent the completion of the cure. On the contrary, it must uow be persevered in untill tbe patient can no longer swallow food or drink,' and even the smell revolts and nauseates the stomach, when the cure may be considered as effected. The shortest time for the continuance of the treatment is seven days; the longest, nine. In order to prevent the congestion which might ensue the patient must now be iveu gentiecmetics that is, one grain of emetic in a bottle of water, wincglassful to be taken every quarter of au hour, in the morning, fasting. This is followed by forty grains of magnesia, daily, given in broth or gruel placing the patient at first on a low diet, and then gradually increasing to his oirginal ratious. If, during the first prt of the treatment, spitting ot blood or convulsions should rejt?lt, it must not be persevered in; therefore, this mod of treatment cannot, on any pretense whatever, be adopted but by a medical man. In Russia drunkenness it) also treated as a disease, and certain strong aromatic preparations are used as curative means. As a temporary remedy to restore t he uufori uuate victim to a state of sobriety, gives him from ten to twelve drops of spirits of ammonia iu a wineglass of water. This will be sufficient in a common case, but if the persou is positively drunk it may be uecesssry to give the dose s secoo time, in which case it will generally act t-.a an emetic (an advantage), when a short Bleep will ensu and the patient will wake res-, tofed. None but a medical man may venture to apply the ammonia to the nostrils, is not ouly iijurious but fatal effects might ensue. We learn from a valuable little book recently published in Liudou, called ' The Home Nurse," that out of 139 cases, 123 cures of oouSrmed drunkards have been effected by the above plan. The Boston reporters talk of getting up' a new badge, aud some one suggests a pump in active motion. It has now become a question as to wheather a phrenologist cm tell what a barrel contaiirs by examining its head. 'You have a very striking countenence,' as the doukey said to the Elephant wheu he hit him over the back with bis trunk. A Paris correspondent writes that since the siege 'the surviving cats of Paris are extremely shy, and no longer court 9a the roofs.' -iinetliing always on haud your thumb.

What is there mote mysterious than blush, that a single word or look, or thought should send that inimitable ear nation over the cheek. like the soft tints of a summer autisei? Strang is it also that the face only and that the human face is -capable of blushing; that tbe hand or foot does not turn red from mod esty or shame', any mora than does the) glove or sock that covers them. It is tho face that beats the angei's impress; it is tbe face thai is Heaven. The blusL oi modesty that tinted woman's Face when first she awoke in Eden's sunny land, still i tigers with her pure daughters. They caught it from the rose, for all tbe roses were first white; but wheu Eve plucked one of tbe buds, set-ion her own face, in or fair than Mowers, bliutied and cast its reflex on her velvety cheek. The face is the tablet of the soul, whereon it writes its aetions There my be traced all tbe intellectual phenomena, with a confidence amounting to a moral certainty. If innocence and purity look outward from within, noue the less, vice, intemporance atul debauchery make their indellible impression npon it. Idiocy, rsge. cowardice, passion, all leave their traces deeper even than the virtues of nmdstj, tru'h, chastil ty aud hope. Even beauty itself will grow more beautiful from the pure iboahgti that arise within it. Tha Repose of Flowers. Almost all flowers sleep during the night: The marigold goes to bed with the sun, and with him tises weeping. many plauts are so sensitive that their leves close during lhe passage of a cloud. The dandelion opens at fivs or six in the morning, and shuts at nine in the evening The Common daisy shuts up its blossom in the evening, and opeus its. 'duy's-eje' to meet the early beams of tha morning sun. The crocus, tulip, and many others, close their blossoms at dill fereot hours toward evening. The ivy . leaved lettuce opens at eight in tbe morning, and closes forever at four in the afteruoon. It begins to expand its magnificent, swoet-scented blossom in twilight, is is full-blown at midnight, aud never to open again with thb dawn of day. In a ciover field not a leaf opens uutil after sunrise. So says a celebrated English autor who has devoted much time to tha study of plants, aod often wa'chej them during their quiet sliimbere. Those plans! which seem to be awake all night, he styles' 'the bats aud owls of lhe vegetable kingdom.' The Pashunce cf Job. Everybody is in the habit of bragging on Job, and Job did have considerable pushunce; but did he ever keep a district skule for 8 dollars a month aod board around, or run a kuntrce uoospaper? Did he ever reap lodged oats down hill on a hot day, aud have all his gallus buttons bust off at once? Did he ever have the jumping toothache, and be made to tend tho baby, while his wile was over to ForkinesH to a tea squall?' Did be ever get up in the morning awl dri, and tuff it 3 miles before breckfast to get a drink, and find that the man kept a temperance house Did he ever undertake to milk a kicking heifer, wilh a bushy (ail, in fly time, in e loi? Did he ever set on a litter of kittens in the old rocking chair, with his summer pantaloons ou? If he could do all these things, end praise" the Lord at the same time, all I have to say is, 'Bully for Job.' Josh Billings. A New Catechisni: Whom did Adam marry, and wben did he ritarry her?
