Brother, you are now about to take upon yourself the obligation of the Second Degree of this Democratic and truly Catholic Order of Say Nothings, commonly called "Sag Nichts." Place yourself in a situation to receive it— arms crossed upon your breast—eyes raised toward heaven. Repeat after me the obligations: 1, A. B. (pronounce your proper name,) pray that God may strike me with imbecility and madness when I cease to oppose Know Nothingism! May heaven overwhelm me with its thunders when I cease to hate the Order! May the anger of God, of Peter and Paul, and of Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson fall upon me in this world, and be my punishment in the next, if I cease to war upon this self-constituted American party! May the whole universe revoh against me, if I cease to be a regular contributing member of this society! May the earth swallow me up alive if I prove unfaithful to my solemn vows! May my name perish from the memory of man if I ever vote for a Whig or a Democrat who favors Know Nothragism! And may my flesh be boiled, roasted, baked, fried, beat, and hashed by savages if I stay away from the bal-lot-box on the day of an election, when a Know Nothing is a candidate!—Lou. Journal.

t3T The editor of the New Hampshire Patriot, President Pierce's home organ, says that the Democratic party is desirous of putting an end to all undue influence of foreign-born citizens in elections. Upon which the Louisville Journal remarks: "We guess the Democratic party, if they were to do it, would be very much in the predicament of the fellow who wishing to

"Inspector," of the N. Y. Cou

Scott, under the resolution and appointment conferring upon him the rank of Lieutenant General, is not strictly correct. It is supposed that the arrears of pay and allowances due, under a very stringent construction of the resolution or Act of Con-

TUK MAK OVER TBB FALLS.—A writer from the Niagara Falls to the Buffitlo JSxprett, speaking of the man who went over the Falls on Friday, says: "His oars were banging in the oar locks, and he was sitting with his arms folded, screaming for help. A few well-directed strokes of the oars would have brought him to the shore, but on he went, until he came opposite the back piazza of the Cataract House, where the boat capsized. He was seen to throw out his arms. He was a young man about 20 years old." The probability is that the poor fellow, having by some means that will never be explained, found himself in the rapids, became paralyzed with horror, and was unable to use any exertions to prevent his awful fate.

Mayor Wood of New York City, has published his views of the liquor law of

Seoond Degree of the Sag Nichts. Several newspapers of high respectability have published what is alleged by: which is to go into operation them to be the obligation of the Second

We wonder if he crossed his arms upon his breast, mised his pretty eyes to heaven (where we fear his soul will never be raised,) and took the frightful obligation here recorded. The thing strongly reminds us of the Pope's anathema in Tristam Shandy. What hope is there of doing anything with a party that swears after this horrid fashion?

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.—A man who arrived from Santa Clara yes terday, relates the following:—t

Some days since, an artesiiti well was being sunk near a frame house, a few miles distant from the town of Alviso, ob the road leading from that place to San Jose» The boring-rpd had penetrated a thick layer of cky, at the distance of 164 feet, when the operator* left work, for dinner. Upon their return after the lapse of an hour, a small stream of water was spouting out of the bore to the height of about 60 feet, and with much difficulty a portion of the boring rod was withdrawn.

One section of the rod remained in the bore, and finally this was thrown out with great velocity by the water. A stream of pure water followed, gradually increasing in circumference as the earth wore away by the constant flow of water, and when our informant left, there was a steady discharge of water, rising to the height of six feet, from an apeture about two feet in diameter. The surrounding flats were flooded by this stream, and it was found requisite to cut ditches to preserve the road from inundation.—Sacramento Herald, June
