Specie in the New York Banks.-- Accord
ing to the quarterly returns of the New

000,000, and the amount on ihe same day
in the Sub Treasury was 83,792.750, ma
king a total of $14,792,750. The New
York Courier says since that date several
of the banks of the city havejmade large
accessions to their stock of coin from the
heavy payments by the Aissistant Treas
urer, and receipts from the Mint and from
other sources, so that the amount of the
precious metals now in the city cannot be
much less than 810.000.000: a larger
amount than was ever before known to be
in the city.

4 Physiological Problem. t has been ob
served that persons who have lost a limb, or
part of one, are at limes very much troubled
with an intelerable itching, or sometimes pain
in the fingers or toes of the extremity iwhich
is lost. A case of this kind lately presented
itself to us for advice, which, being a litjle out
of the common course, we have have thought
proper to give lo our readers. A young man
had his hand amputated just above ihe wrist,
on account of having it shattered by (he burst,
ing of a gun. -This happened some two years
since, and the deficiency is supplied by a wood
en hand.
Al limes he tells us that he has (he most in
tolerable itching between these wooden fingers;
in fact, insupportable, and lo use his own words
he would give a hundred dollars for ihe chance
of giving them a scratching. At other limes
he has much pain where ihe fingers should be
and he can only obtain relief by altering their
position. When free from the pain or itching,
he ran discover no difference between that
hand and (he sound one. He can will the ficig
ers of the lost hand to act, and they seem lo
obey. At times the ends of ihe fingers are quite
numb and cold ; being partly flexed, he feels
that he had not the power to extend them.
There are other phenomena connected with
thi3 case, which, with those we have given,
would be very difficult to account for on physi
ological principles. Boston Medical Journal.

THE TOWN OF GRAHAM.
The " Democrat" has the following remarks
in refence lo the county seat of the new coun
ty of Alamance :
Our Town was called as a compliment to
Ei-Governor Graham, the present aJile and
excellent Secretary of the Navy. Fifteen
months ago the sound of the mechanic's ham
mer had not bpen heard within our limits.
To-day we have a population numbering over
two hundred souls whh ihe prospect ol an in
crease. Buildings have already been comple
ted and are accupied from cellar to garret.
uesideSprivate residences which for number
and beauty of construction, would bo highly
creditable to a much older place. We have
four elegant stores-containing large and gener
al assortments ol Dry (Joodsi, Groceries, &c.
Three more are in course of erection and will
be completed in time for the spring stock.
Our fine New Court House is rapidly approach
ing its completion and will be ready for the
Blind Goddess lo lake her seat in at an early
day. From present appearances it will be an
elegant structure inferior to few, if any, in the
State, and amply sustaining the reputation of
those accomplished Architects and Builders,
the Messrs. Denny, of Greensboro'. John Trol
linger, Esq., is puPing up a large and commo
dious Brick House, which will soon be fii.ish
ed and opened for the accommodatiorv of the
public. Our enterprising Townsman, Col.
Steele, who builds houses " aj the shortest no
nce tor every body in want ol ihem, has laid
ihe foundation of an Academy for Young La
dies, where a school of a high order will be
taught by Prof. Nelson aided jby compelent as
sistanls. The building of the Graham Insti
tute has been contracted for, by our neighbor,
Col. Harden, and will be finished early next
summer; when it is in contemplaiion to open
a Classical and Mathematical school, where
boys will be thoroughly prepared for any ofj
our Colleges or Universities. .
NEWSPAPERS.
The Colombia (S, C.) Telegraph says the
truth is beginning to be understood, that editors
and publishers are producers, and that t'ney are
entitled lo some compensation for services ren
dered, or for articles furnished by them.
A newspaper is a commodity in which are in
volved ihe usual elementsjof cost, andjhe pur
chaser or consumer should expect to pay for it
accordingly. No class of men expect to be
furnished gratis wiih shoes, -hats, coats, &c,
and no gentleman calls on his neighbor after
breaklast habitually lo borrrw a pair of boots.
When people once learn the eimple truth that
the maker of a newspaper looks to it for his
Tiving, the once fashionable practice of borrow,
ing newspapers, or of borrowing space in them,
will be discontinued. Our
North Carolina Manufactures. We hare
seen a piece of goods at Mr. Barr's, manufac
tured at the Rock Island Manufactory, Meck
lenburg county, in this State, which is a good
imitation of French Summer Casimere. We
have no doubt but such encouragement will he
given by our citizens, to our own manufactur
ers, as will enable them successfully to com.
pete with those abroad, in the fabrics used .for
clothing. No great effort of patriotism will be
required to indulge in this patronage for a lit
tle encouragement al the beginning will, doubt,
less, enable our own people to produce articles
as good and as cheap as any that can be got
elsewhere. Wilmington Commercial.
Intercourse with Baltimore. We learn wiih

our having a line of packets established be.

This matter is in the management of an en

BREVITY IN WOMAN.
We find in a California diary, the following
glorification of a quality we should like. 44 A
man of few words,' is very well, but 44 a woman
of few words" is a matter open lo argument :
I encountered, to day, in a ravine, some three
miles distant, among ihe gold washers, a wo
man from San Jose. She was at work with
a large wooden bowl by the side of the stream.
I asked her how long she had been there, and
how much gold she averaged a day. She re.
plied. 41 Three weeks and an ounce." Her
reply reminded me of an anecdote of the late
Judge B -. who met a girl returning from
market, and asked her 14 how.-deep did you find
the stream ? what did you get for your butler ?" j
44 Up to the knee and ninepence, was Ihe reply.
4 Ah !' said the judge lo himself i 4 she is the
girl for toe, no words lost there : turned back,
proposed, was accepted, and married the next
week ; and a more happy couple the conjugal
bonds never united ; the nuptial lamp never
waned ; its rays was steady and clear to the
last. Ye who paddle off and on for seven years,
and are, at last, perhaps, capsized, take a les
son of ihe judge. Thai 4 up to the knee and
ninepence' is worth all the rose letters and mel-

Medical Use of Salt. In many cases of dis

a short nap immediately after, is one of (he
most effectual and speedy remedies known.
The same will relieve a person who seems al
most dead from receiving a heavy fall.
In an appoplectic fit, no lime should be lost
in pouring down salt water, if sufficient sensi
bility remains to allow of swallowing ; if not,
lhe head must be sponged with cold water un
til the sense returns, when the salt will com
pletely restore the patient from the lethargy.
In the case of severe bleeding al the lungs,
and when other remedies failed, Dr. Rush
found that two teaspoonsful of salt completely
stayed lhe blood. iY. Y. Courier.
If you would be healthy and happy, observe
and keep lhe laws of God, which are the laws
of nature. But if you would have pain and
suffering and die before j'our lime, disregard
these laws eat and drink to excess, use strong
drinks as a bevarage, smoke and chew to
bacco, and force upon your system all lhe a
buse you can.
