Julv I't l>^-*)9 to July 1st The schedules
,t till' various routes from and near this place, in

iiiRiianged. The mail to R;Ueigh is to leave at o

It 1 P. M., instead of 12* P. M.; whilst the War-
siw mail is to be carried t'very day instead of six
times a week.
So far as we can see the contracts are to be made
without reference to tlie vehicle in which the
mails :*!*e to he carried. So that, if a person
liiiost's to take the yontraet on any present stace
line, he may carry the mail on horse-back if he

.'^T.vTisTics.—An esteenjed correspondent sug-
the propriety of obtaining, in the Census

have heretofore had on some j»oints. IFe thinks
that il tlie questions usually propjunded as t> ag-
riirulture were directed to tlu‘ ascertaiumeTit of the
- jihtu production, in^^tead of the total produc-
r.Mii. the intbrmation obtained would be more cer-
t:(iii and useful. Instead of asking a farmer liow
iiiMi li wheat he made, let him be a-sked how much
'iiid. So of corn, hay, cotton. \'c. The whole
luaiitity of corn produced is paraded in the (,'en-
-iiv SO is tbf pork. But that very corn was ooii-
'iiiiied by the lujg^ yielding the iKirk^and. thus ap-
ptar twice in the report, once as corn and agaiii
pork. Again, a j»rodigiou'J display of the hay
; ']! is made, but nin^tenths of that very hay is
■ii'unied upon the farm yielding it. and without
the next crop could not be made. It Is rus much
il fleiuent in farming as tht*lmplenients ued, and

Mr. lirown thought the amount of the appro

nal. It wou t correct its untrue statements, either
the old ones or tin- new ones, but snaps and snarls
at the Ol'servi r and abu.ses its Editors because
the y w ill not allow misrepresentations to gu unex-
jKjsed. 1 bis sort ol thing does ju;t hurt u.; we
have no reply to make to silly declamation. But
when the Journal makes another untrue statement
concerning us we shall expose it as usual. It would
be plea>ant tu hoj^e that the Journal would not
render thi.' necessary. But experience has shown
the folly of such a hupe. Everv now and then,
say once a week or siimething like that, the Jour
nal makes uj) its mind to ha\e nothing more to say
oJ' us or to us. But it comes ba«L-k to the charge
as regularly as clock work; we have to go through
the same process of exposing it, then have its a
buse and its "wun t notic*; us any more” to laugh
at, and by that time the thing is about ready to
i)‘gin again.
The Juurnal is always sure of one thing, happen

arrayed from its columns last Summer. It tells

Correction.—The New Haven Journal is re
quested to say, that a statemeut made in the
Hartford Times, and copied in other papers, re.s-
pecting the will of the Hon. H. L. Ellsworth, is
premature. The will has not been “approved,”
or oft'ered for probate. No direct legacy has
been made to Yale College. W’hatever of this
kind exists is resii!uury, and is contingent on the
settlement of au estate lying to a great extent in
wild lands. Hence no just estimate can be put
on the value, and the one given in the Times is
certainly a very great exaggeration.
The total distance between St. Louis and San

Imagination in I)iseas>\—A good story is told
by a physician of Cincinnati about oneof his patients.
'I he sick man had rheumatic pains, which the
fJoctor thought would be relieved by nitrate oj
potash. The patient took the medicine for some
time, but was not much benefitted, and asked for
another remedy, which the Doctor prescribed.
A few days after he met him, and asked after his
health. “(Jh, I’m getting well. Doctor,” was the
reply, “but 'tain’t your medicine. I tried that
some time, till a neighbor told me of .something
he took fur his rheumatism, a very simple remedy.
I tried it, and it’s done me a great deal of good.”
“W'hat is it'/” said the Doctor.
“Oh, it’ s so simple I’m afraid you’ll laugh at
me if I tell you.”
T^‘ Doctor promised to control his risibles,
and the patient, after much urging, informed him
that it wa.s sahpetre!
The Doctor wa.sn’t true to his promise. He
laughed quite heartily, and told the a^itonished
patient that nitrate of }>otash wa.s the chemical
name of the sub.stance known to commerce as
saltppfrd A pretty fair illustration, that, of the
influence of the imagination on dise:i.se.

held in their Flail on the '.*th day of November. A. D.
Is.'is, A. L. i’iS.oH, ttie following preatnblo and resolutions
were adopted:
Whkrkas. It has jileased Almighty Jod in his un-
search.ible wisdom to romo\e from our midst our highly j
esteemed brother, Ririt.\ B. Riciiakdso.s: Therefore, |
Resolved. That while we bow witii becoming submis- !
si.)n to this atHiciiug decree of an all-wise Providence, j
we deeply feel the loss we have sustained in being de
prived of one whose amiable dfsposition .and many gf>od
ijualities as a friend and brother had won the greatest
esteem of all who knew him.
Resolved. That in the death of brother Hiclia B.
Richanlson. the Masonic Fraternity has lost one of its
atrongest and nio^t faithful members, a true Mason a:id
ail upright man in vverv sense of the word; that in his
death a noble Mason has gone to take his j>lace as a per
fect stone in that eternal Teinjde in the heavens.
Resolved. That it is ever with pride we greet such
men as brethren in our mystic art, and with a feeling of
sorrow we view their departure from our midst: and with
such feelings in our minds, who liave known him only
in tlie holy ties of .Masotiic brotherhood and .as a fellow-
member of Society, what must be the soitow in that im
mediate circle from which he has been removed.
Resolved. Tliat the Secretary >ie reijucsted to forward
a coi'v of these resolutions to the family of the decea.'(*d,
and lender them our sincerest sympathy in their great
affliction.
Resolved, That the members of this Lodge wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to
tlie Fayetteville Observer for publication, and that they
be spread on the minutes of the Lodge.
