Xj’Tlie following is an extract fr-.-tn the Address delivered at Hanover College, last week, by Hom. Win. M. Dunn, Congressman fromiltisLiIistrict.— It is ceratinly very beautiful: “From this college edifice, “beautiful fer situation as Mount2ion, 11 we may look down upon the Ohio, flowing in ijs peaceful course, without a murmur, and almost wiiliout a ripple on its quiet surface. That river has had its flood-lime, when its swollen waters could have floated the commerce of the world. II has hod its summer drouths, when the fountains of its supply, in mountain and valley, were all well nigh dried up; when the great red sun, day after day, poured down .upon its bosom his fervid ray?, drinking up its waters and laying Wre Us depths. It has had its autumn mists; and fugs, filling Us valley from billU p to hill top and burying it from sight. It has hid its winter,, when its chilled waters were locked in icy chains, and, to the eye, it moved not, hut was/.W.— I Jut look ! There it is today, a constant tycri'-seful stream, winding its peaceful rimne through'the beautiful hilisol the lovely landscape before ns. , - “Like to these art the vicissitudes lb rough.-which this college has passed. It has Kad its flood time of prosperity, when students crowded its halis> so that there waa not room to receive them. U has hod its summer drouths, when silence and discornagemCfil brooded over it. It lusUadits autumn clouds, aiid ils winter. Aoo, cold and treaty, when it is stiflV etied iri the fierce frost. Then its enemies cxchtmed, “It,is dead!" And its blends, with hands hanging down in sorrow', answered, "IV is dead“H is deal) 1“ Hut yd Hanover College lives. It is nthing cf life, like that-beautiful bealitifttl river. The fathers that,planted iUin faith.and p.-ayer have, all parted, or arc soon U> pn.'-s awoy. Their sans have arisen in their places, to cherish.with af, feciion and love the tree* which the fathers planlcd. Ami Ihus wu lriul it shall be 'from generation do generation, and that, so tong as that rivei shall flow-, marking its course by; the, verdure of Us banks mtd the fruit nriiieis of its vaPeys and hills,. so long shall this college, remain, 'marking jls course, in the':history of our race, by ihe rich blessings it shall confer on mankind.” . . .

How to Du It—If you want t > keep your borough from thriving, turn a add shoulder to every mochiinic or beginner in tibine,-?, look upon every now'comer with a jc-alout scowl. Discourage ail you can; if .that don’t do, descry his work, or his (goods, and rather go abroad for ware I of this kind or that than give him lyont money,.' A few years will bo sufficient experience. If anybody’s corns arc pinched, let them sing out.

The Richmond Drvad-Axe says '

While grapes may be grown in Bath profusion a nil with so little labor, it is a little remarkable that a Upply, for every houshold in the country is not secured, not only in the regular season of them, but to -last until] spring. There is no trouble jin keeping grapes through tho winter as fresh ns when they are first gathered. In seasons when other fruit is scarce, no greater luxury can bo enjoyed them a dish of fresh gripes in winter.

Some of our druggists have fallen victims to the quart law. Two of them wero lined S20 and costs each, on Thursday last, for selling spirituous liquors in a less quanily than one quart; ono of the persons fined sold a four ounce viol of brandy in i good faith, on the assurrancc that it was for medicinal purposes, and tho standing of the,person to‘whom tho liquor was sold forbade tho idea that it was designed to be used as a beverage. Yet the law makes no provision for such cases, and unless a preset iplion from a physician accompanies each order, the druggist lays himself liable to the "pains and penalties** prescribed for offenders. Wo do not believe that it was the design of the framers of tho law, tllat its provisions should be carried out to the extent that is claimed by .some of our ufiiccis. Such an interpretation will occasion mu«;h inconvenience and expense, without being productive of any good result. There is not a man in town that would.for a moment entertain tho idea -that any of onr drugsiists would knownybj sell liquor to improperporsons, o; to I c used in an improper manner With the general provisions of the law wo arc well pleased, and cat yield acheerfnl Compliance: hutwheii that law comes in to prevent the sal t of liqnofs in such, case where the sal! is actually ,necessary, aivV wheic n \ harm can possUdy grow. out of. V, we think there is a loose” thr t should ho- attended to speedily.
