The eecaaioa that gave rise to this legal

disquisition, with the exhaustive accompany

ing srgumeuts, may. be inferred from tha followiag extract from a celebrated 4th of

Ja! oration, slightly varied from the original: "Albeit I have been appointed by the honorable, the City Coaacil of Richmond, Indiana, to ezamiae and report od the extent, limit, meaning aad application of the Indiana 8 unday Law a, and herein aad hereby inci

ever to ba too aopretaadiag, and hardly reInb trathfnlly, the boldaeaa with which the leaned aad asttute eaaayiat leaaohea upon 'e discussion ot his fertile theme. To bo more explicit: Some over-sealoas persona of oar city, aot daly impreaeed with the bgal

lore of oar Mayor, and being, beeidea, rather ignoraat aa to the object of their request, petitioaed the City Coaacil, to enforce aa ordiaaaee, eaaeted in sursoaaee of the State Laws, againat certain epecifically enumerated praeticee, with a view to their supprce- ' ' aioa and they aaggeeted that if the City Ordfaaacea already in force were foand inadeqaate to meet the emergency, then the enactment of more stringent onea, were aaked - for, ia etriet conformity or coarse, with the State Lawa oa the lame aubject.

i M RELIGIOUS PROFESSION Vs. I ! K PRACTICE, rj We regret to witness the appa- i rent animus - manifested in the leading editorial of this -wees's " Herald," and we fear, the wish tb at the charges made might be true was father of the thought, that they were 8 ... Of course tbe city papers have various classes of readers, and the writer t the article in question doubtless flattered himself that he was catering to the tastes of his own peculiar ilk. Exactly how many free drinks his valorous production will 6couro him, we have no means of knowing. If he can derive any pleasure in the contemplation of gratifying the persons

whom he aims to please, at the cx

pense of the moral sentiment of the community, we envy neither his head nor his heart neither his

wisdom nor bis virtue. :, . ; n

He would do well to remember 1 we very seldom find persons counterfeiting, a bogus coin an article of no value. It is the genuine coin

that is counterfeited, r

And though there may be, and

doubtless are some unworthy mem

bers of Religious Societies, the fact

no more detracts from the saving vitality of the genuine article, than

would the existence of spurious coin, from the value of the unadul

terated. ' .

And what are we to conclude as

to the appreciative taste exhibited

in the seeming desire of the writer,

to expose to the admiring gaze o.'

persons not residing here, the raor

al delinquencies, which he details

with such extreme unction snd i.

all the other cases named by him

are as baseless as the one in which

bo maliciously and falsely represents one of our respected pastors,

we are inclined to the opinion, that be might have spared himself the trouble of r writing himself .down, what a certain other distinguished gentleman was too modest to do ia

his own case.

' We are assured not only by the person at whom the editor aimed, but by others who were present at the time, at which the offensive prayer J s falsely said to have been made, that no sane and sober individual present (these epithets are ours) could possibly . have been guilty of placing even constructively, the objectionable meaning on the words actually used.

: Had the writer of the intoxica- i ted (?) essay given himself only a

very little trouble to inquire of per- j

sons who heard the offensive prayer, he could have saved himself from the just charge of being but too willing to bear false witness. . In all communities Richmond

is no . exception, we unfortunately

have too many persons any are too many who, having their moral sensibilities pretty effectually brutalized, by the use of something

stronger than water having drawn

inspiration from bars other then

tbe sacred desk who being but

too conscious of their own moral derelictions and envious at see

ing others better than themselves

manifest a very natural, but dev

lish ambition to spurt mud at al

around, but more especially at those

above them.

How far our Herald Editorial"

manifests this disposition, we will

not presume to judge.

"He that is giddy, thinks tbe world moves

( round."

. We would, in conclusion, gently

suggest to the quill driver of our neighbor, that he would be a lit

tle more magnanimous than to de

sire too much of his own kind of

company too many converts to

his regenerated religious persua

sion as in that event, we can but

entertain fears that the moral

health of the community would

not be improved.

In one respect, we guess, the

writer of the inebriated srticle has

clearly the advantage of those for

whom his precious sermon waa de

signed in his general habits, he

does not belie his professions,

Ess at, bt Da. R. II. Uitohbll, read at the Meeting of the Richmond Horticultural 8odety, Feb. 11, 1871. Mr. Pbbsidbmt: The aubject (or discussion to-day, ia Our Birds : A subject that would fill volumns. One that I am but little acquainted with; and the few remarks that will make up tbia abort Easaj. Will be more for soliciting

discussion, than any correct information, I am capable of giving on this pleasant, and important subject. It is said that little boats ahould keep near shore, so I will confine myself to the little colony of birds that I claim is my own; those that I cultivated on our ten acres, and those birds 1 protect snd defend, snd try to have them understand that while there they need not fear cat, dog, or boy. I think that with care and kindness, my little colony has increased twenty-fire per cent, ia two years. We hare remaining 'with us through the Winter, the Snow Bird,' the Red Bird, the CLippee and the Wren, verr email birds, liv

ing on insects snd seeds, snd should often be fed by those whose grounds they inhabit, they are with us in the early Spring to commence

tbeir daily work of destroying insects their

chief food.

The Robin and the Blue Jsy if not with us

through the Winter are early visitors in ths

Bpring. ' -

The Brown Thrush, the Blue Bird, tbe

Swift, the Chimney-Swallow, the Martin, tbe Lark, the Cat Bird, tbe Black Bird, the Pe-

Wit, tbe Dove. the King Bird, the Humming Bird and the little Yellow bird resembling the Csnary Bird are with as early in tbe

season, and mast live to a great extent on in'

sects; and during the time they feed their

young must consume large quantities; ss all

tbe young of the small birds are fed on in sects.

They are all early at work building nests

andjpreparing to raise tbe young brood,

The Robin is about the first to build and if

not disturded will raise two broods in tbe season. They are full feeders, and the amount of insects destroyed must be enormous, and if near the end of the season, they should

fail to procure insect food for their extensive families, snd from necessities, should have to

depend on small fruit in part for their subsistence, have t hey not earned some for tbeir

faithful laborst This bird seems to have but

little fear of man, and is tbe farmer's and

gardener s companion. Ue collects tbe insects tbst are turned up with confidence, sad cheers him with his morning aad evening

aongs. -

The Blue Jay is a gay bird, he is early with

us, builds his nest snd raises his young in our colony, and must destroy large quantities of insects; but his tyrannical disposition, and his propensity to destroy the eggs snd young

of other useful and smaller birds, may more than bal lance the good be does. These birds here beca .indicted and condemned for eating ben's eggs, bird's eggs, and young

birds in the nest; and for being great 'thieves

srenerallv. But this I do not know, and

must therefore protest snd defend.

The Brown Thrush is a proud bird, and the fairest of the Thrush family. They build in

the hedge-rows, thick briars and the thorn.

bush, snd sre protected from their common

enemy; and as our hedge-rows increase, so will the Brown Thrush, and many other smaller birds that need protection from the Blue

Jay, Crow and the Hawk.

, They feed oa worms, cstterpillars, beetles and ber ries. This beautiful bird has been accused of taking tbe grains ef corn at plant

ing time thia may be true, but it is thought tbst every grsin he takes be destroys five

hundred insects , snd grubs, that wonld be

ore injurious to the , crops than all the

thrush families.

Tbe great American Naturalist, baa well

expressed tbe feelings, which ought to be

cherished, in regard to the advantages which

this bird confers. In bis praises of this fine

songster, he says "the huxan being who

amidst such scenes, can pass them with cold

indifference and contempt, 1 sincerely pity;

for abject aaust that heart be, and callous

t hose feelings, snd depraved that taste, which neither tbe charms of nature, nor tbe melody

of innocence, nor the voice of gratitude or

devotion can reach."

The Red-beaded Wood-Pe;ker, the Yellow

bre asted Wood-Psckci snd tbe Sapsncker has

ratber a bard life, and many enemies, but before we condemn let us investigate. These

three varieties are early with us they all

build nests, aad raise families, and must feed

them, and if we notice their industry at that

season, they must be great feeders and de

stroy Urge quantities of insects.

For ths safety of tbe living, some friend

has investigated the stomachs of the dead, ot

these birds, which terminated in their favor.

The stomach of a Red-headed Wood-Pecker was examined in tbe Spring of the year, and was tound to contain berries, snts, beetles and grubs.

The stomach of the Yellow -breasted Wood-

Pecker, wss found to contsin the grubs of

Ire boring beetles, snd at laat one dosen of

small wood-eating beetles, some ants, and a little vegetable matter. At various times during the season, from March to October,

examinations have been made of the same species of birds, and the atomachs were found to contain insecta, grubs, worms, and lsrava; and not in one case was found any species of

grain, and but in one or two cases any veg

etable matter. There are other birJs that peck in tbe wood

for grubs and insects; and Ism inclined to

think the Sapaucker is one of them. The

bird that I think is tbe true and only Sap-

sucker, with us, is a size smaller thsn tbe

Wood-Pecker at a proper age he has a

bead, and has festhers some like a Guinea fowl, with white breast and sides this bird

will peck holes in the sugar tree, the pines and other trees but I csnnot think this is

ths wsy be gets a living but like other

birds, destroys his full share of insects. At

least I have seen ours go from the evergreens directly to the pair ' tree, and become very

busy knocking the bark, and to my satiafac

tion getting insects. On watching bim very

closely, 1 bare become reconciled, and now

protect and defend him.

Bryant, the great Ornitholigist, speaking

of the Yellow-breasted Wook-pecker, says,

"In six stomachs examined by bim, insects

formed tbeir chief food. In ono bird there were two larva of a boring beetle, so large

that there was no; room in the stomach for

both at once, and one remained in tbe lower

part of the eeophegu?. If these were

they feed on insects, but do some damage to turnip seed.' if this can be prevented they

may be put on the useful list.

All our small birds are insect eating birds.

and are consequently of particular benefit ta

man, these seek for, and destroy tbe eggs of insects, that would increase in numbers beyond the arts of man to extirpate; they know

better than maa where to seek for them; and

thus at once satisfy their own appetites, and

render him the .most essential service. ' Buf

fos ssys "without the assistance of the in

sect eating birds, the efforts of man woul.l

fail to destroy or banish tbe eland of flying

insects by which we would be assailed; in

numerable, in quantity, and rapid in genera

tion, tbey would invade our dominions, fiM the air std devastate the earth, did not tbe birds restore the equilibrium of living nature by tbe destruction of superfluous products."

Tbe greatest inconvenience of warm cli

mates is the continued torment caused by

the insect tribes. Msnand animals cannot

defend themselves sgainst them, tbey attack

itb their stings; they oppose the progress

of cultivation, and destroy the useful products

of tbe earth.

Thus we find the beneficient birds are not

sufficiently numerous in such climates. He

asks "how is it in onr temperate climates, we are more troubled in the commencement of Autumn, than in Midsommert Why ia the fine dsys of October, do we see the air

filled with myrads of gaatsT Because our

insectivorous birds hays left ns what then

must tbe consequence be, when from the

time of their arrival, and during tbe entire

Summer, or the whole time of their sojourn

amonng us, we continue to make their ae struction a source of amusement.

The Crow and tbe Hawk, I do not cultivate,

protect, nor defend. The Crow is a sharp rogue; he is a lover of grubs and worms, and destroys great numbers of tbem for food, at least when he feeds tho voracious appetites of his young, from the nests Of our smaller insect eating birds, his damage cannot be eatimated. Some eaa has attempted and drawn

a line between bis merits and demerits, as you

can see in the U. S. Agricultural report for

1871, by units, and marks bim beneficial ia the whole yean 229 nnits, and injurious 4,-

SIS units; which he says, proves these birds

not only worthless, but positively injurious. But in conclusion, I must say that our birds, as a class with few exceptions, are indispeasible in the field, in tbe garden, aad in thle" orchard.

' The San Doasiago Aaaexatioa. The opinion prevails among Senators that the Saute Domingo purchase will not be brought op until after the adjournment of Congress, and that an extra execctire

session of the Senate will be called by the President to 'act upon the treaty. It is generally agreed that the annexation can be fully completed without the consent of the House, except the voting of the purchase money. The precedents all establish this, except in the case of Texas, which was annexed by a joint resolution, admitting ber as a State. It does not appear that there has been any chance

upon the question in either House.

The opponents of annexation pro-

ess to see no reasons for changing

their views in the full information respecting the island furnished by the newspaper correspondents,

while the friends of Santo Domingo are confirmed in their opinions by the facts thus given. Both par

ties are already preparing their ar

guments, and the prospects are

that the contest over the report of

the Commissioners will be long and

exciting. . Prominent Senators,

who have hitherto exhibited no partnership upon either side of the question, say that it will be im

possible to get a a two-thirds vote to ratify a treaty ot annexation,

whatever the report ot the Com

missioners may be, and that the

Senators who will oppose the trea

ty have fully made up their minds

already, and will place their opposition on tbe ground of the inex pediency of annexing taore contiguous tropical territory. The Commissioners' report will, they say, convince no one who is not

Of all diseases that flesh is heir to, none are so certain to produce death as those of the Heart and Lungs. Persona suffering from diseases of the Heart are liable to drop down dead ot any moment, unaware of any more than usual difficulty of breathing, or fatigue. How often do we hear of some friend or acquaintance dying while sitting st

bis or ner meal, or tound dead in bed; aad atill more frequently do we bear that such a one had only slight fluttering st tbe heart; others drop dead while performing some light labor, or with the least excitement; while the invalid suffering from diseases of the Lungs, is slowly but-surelr dying by inches, without some judicious treatment to aid nature to throw off diseases from tbe Lungs. .To essily euro the above diseases, first reniree immediate attention to every symptom that may present itself, at the different stages ol tbe disease; and the treatment should be in accordance with each symptom. Thousands Buffer untold misery from resorting to unqualified pretenders of tbe sge, who profess to understand tbe treatment of diseases of the Heart and Lnngs, but who in reality know bnt little of the diseases, except a slight knowledge that they have acquired by read

ing the suggestions ot some conceited author.

whose experience in too many instances bas

been but meegre st best; many ot whom have perbsps never disected tbe Heart or Lungs after death. In order to be a successful p; actitioner in tbe treatment of Hesrt and

Lung diseases, requires a constant, extensive

practice, to enable the person to make a cor

rect diagnosis of tbe disease. This done, he must be well posted in its treatment, since this can only be accomplished by treating

many thousand similar cases. Tbonssnds of

lives are annually sacrificed by tbe employ' ment of unskilled physicians, in the treat mentof disesres of the Heart and Luncs.

. Horn often do we see snd hear of nersons

almost gone with Consumption in fact, given up, by perbsps, a dozen doctors; who, nltimately, by placing themselves under the treatment of some eminent physician, be- ' eome healthy and sound, or at all events, ss ' much so ss the nature of their disease could possibly admit of. Instances of this kind

are familiar to tbonssnds. A consumptive ' man of means who thinks more of bis health
