Life had few charms for her, hut heaven had many. From the very first, upon learning that her disease might prove fatal, she expressed an entire willingness, if it was God's will, to die, adding that her death might be more useful than her life.

but a demonstrable fact. During the first three weeks of navigation, the loss exceeded half a million. And this, too, npon the business done. The loss, from the diversion of trade, or from delays, is not taken into account. Albany Journal.

JUtction of Judges. I he result or the election in this city last Monday is that all the Democratic candidates have succeeded by considerable majorities. The number of votes polled, at this first election of Judges by the people, did not exceed 25,000, which is less than half of the whole number of voters. The other half appear not to have considered the election of sufficient importance to tequire their personal attention. Yet by the returns it seems that several hundreds, both Whigs and Democrats, voted for a candidate of the opposite party, rather than sustain one of their own candidates when suspected of leaning towards Anti-Rentism.

Y. Sun. Danger or Starvation. We don't wish to alarm any one, especially if tbey are so benevolently disposed as to pay ten dollars a barrel in New York and six in Cincinnati for flour. But there are twoor three little face we will just mention, for the comfort of those who think there will be a famine this year.

One of these is, that the only difficulty we have had in Cin cinnati yet, in supplying ihe "vast European demand," the want of Iocomoltces, tragons, and other machinery, to bring down the produce anxiously waiting to be brought, and the difficulty of getting sacks, bags. barrels, 4fC. to put Corn in Another little fact will lend to relieve apprehension. ia staled, lhat at Canton, Stark county, 1GO Wheat wagons passed through before breakfast, and 600 after dinner!

The Rochester Democrat stater, that the farmers in that vicinity have planted from three to five times their usual quantity of corn. The Albany Evening Journal says that good farmers assure them that they never knew the crops look better than they now do.

The Lyons Argus says the wheat fields look as promising in thai region as they were ever known to. From Michigan we have equally cheeting accounts. The St. Joseph's Advertiser congratulates the farmers upon the exceedingly fine appearance or most ol the wheat fields in the county. The Grand Rapids Inquirer says the crops look promising throughout that and the neighboring counties.

paper published at South Bend, Indiana, states that tbe farmers there were alarmed at the appearance of the fly in the wheat. The Clermont (Ohio) Sun, expresses the opinion tbat the wheat crop, in the Southern portion of Ohio, will be far below an average, and also stales the opinion cf other papers, that the crop the whole State will be lijht. Cincinnatati and Cleveland papers have expressed a different opinion. The accounts from the South are generally favorable an abundant harvest. Mississippi Repudiation.

Tbe time has arrived when measures must be taken to connect the Connecticut tivrr line now made or under contract, from Wells river, a bore ffaverhill, P. 11.. to roew Haven, and the city of New York except from Bellows Falls to Greenfield. It will be recollected we have a charter for a road from Keene village, tliroueh Swarrzev. Winchester and Hinsdale to the mouth of the Ashue- lot; and a serious question is now being asitated on tne line at and ticlow Greenfield, whether to attempt a direct road from Greenfield ap the Connecticut to Mellows alls, or to make the continuous np river route, through Ihe projected Ashuelot road, either by a direct line to vernoo, or via Grouts a Corner, in Montague and through the Massachusetts and Ver mont to a point of connection in Northfield.

A con ncct ion in some way, with tbe upper Connecticut valley, ia vitally important to tbe roads below, as is a connection from Greenfield with the Massachusetts snd Vermont road at Grout's Corner and for the simple reason that though Greenfield and vicinity can now reach Boston by railromii, they find themselves a little further from Boston sfter traveling between 40 and SO miles fin Sprino field) than when starting. 1 ne route to ueuows rails will depend upon tacts to be elicited alter a caret ul survey of about five miles I ooiy 01 projected Astiuelol road, between the fur 1 norm vuiaire, in it incnester.anu llinsoaie village, a oirect roaa irom tnei urnace village to Xsorthheld is deemed not practicable.

Shall it be so, or shall the Vermont Charter be used to complete the Riser route, thus keeping it somewhere near tbe river; From Mexico. llie intelligence from the capital, which ia to the 19th of May, ia vague and somewhat contradictory.

ne election or 1 resident, it will be remembered, was to take place on the 1 5th. There was, therefore, hardly time to know the result, as the choice was to be made by the of the dif ferent atales. Jr naz, Alvarez, Almonte, Ocampo, and Herrera and not Santa Ana appear to have been candidates. One account is, that Herrera (not the Ex-President.) was chosen. Accompanying tbe report of Herrera a election, is a statement which, if ll be well-founded, brightens the prospects of peace, It is this that the cause of bis success over his competitors, was the desire generally felt by the thinking portion ot the Mexican population, to open negotia tions with the United States, for a renewal of friendly relations, ul ine other Hand, the Kepublicann.

a Mexican paper of tbe 19th, announces that Santa Ana had left ihe command of ihe army to assume the du ties of President, and that he was to make bis entry into tbe capital on the evening of the 19th. Whether this was to be an assumption, in the offensive sense of the word, or a resumption of Santa Ana's duties as actual President, till he should have been officially oispiacea. we areiett to inter, lie had issued a manifesto io tbe oeoplo, which would Indicate, probably, bis true position but no copy of it bas reached this country. There are, however, two letters of his ad- ressed to the Minister of War, which give his own account ol his military operations, lo toe urst letter, dated May no says That since his arrival at Orizaba be had been or ganizing guerilla parties, both infantry and cavalry, in tbe vicinity of Orizaba, of Cordova and Vera Cros that he had collected the scattered remains of his Cer- ro Gordo forces improved the brigade from Oajaca, under Gen. Ieon reinforced and remounted a cvalry force, which be had stationed at San Andres; and lastly, fitted for service seven pieces of artillery, which are at Orizaba and Cordova.

The result of sll these labors is, according to him. lhat guerilla parties are already at work between a-lapa and Vera Cms three battalions, organized with 1470 men of those dispersed at Cerro Gordo more than SOO horses collected a quantity of infantry equipments prepared and finally 4500 men, with 7 pieces of artillery, put in movement, who would enter Puebla on the 12th of May. He announces that he himself was on his march to Puebla, compelled to that course by his extreme destitution. He has only had S5.0O0 to do all he has done. snd thinks he could easily have ten or twelve thousand men under arms, if the Government would give him means." The second letter is dated May IS, at San Martin, some twenty miles beyond Puebla, towards Mexico.

lie arrived there, he says, on the morning of the I5th, having encan.ped the previous night at Puebla, al though, as be states, be was aware that our troops were about moving on the place. Gen. Worth en-1 tered Puebla on the ISth.J Speaking of Puebla Santa. I "The whole population of this beautiful city was in motion at the entrance of my division, and gave signa of ihe most ardent enthusiasm. I could hardly I walk from being surrounded by thousands of citizens.

who were hurrahing fur independence and fur the re public, and giving utterance lo their hatred of our in vaders. In these moments my heart was agitated by different feelings as I looked upon an enthusiastic people calling upon me for arms to defend themselves, giving the most signal proof ol their love for the liher- ty of iheircountry, and as I reflected open the respon- aibihty of those who having the means bad neglected tn take advantage of the good disposition of these peo ple. 1 he only want in this city, your excellency, was proper men fo move in the defence of the national cause." rom the tone of the Mexican papers, expressive of indignation at the apathy of Ihe citizens as to the defence of Ihe capital, it is interred that Gen. ocott. should he advance on the city, will meet with no for midable resistance.

Traveller. The Mexican Presidenct and the Prospects or Peace. Tbe rumor of Herrera 'a election as Pres ident of Mexico, although not impossible, is still improbable; the ptevious accounts from the interior in dicating a toce of feeling on the part o. the people, eminently adverse to peace, and Herrera, as every one knows, has always been tbe advocate ol a pacihe policy. If be has been elected, and if he can acquire strength sufficient lo enable him lo treat, there is a better prospect of peace than we have yet had.

A gentleman every way reliable, who has resided for a number of years in the city of Mexico, and has lately returned thence, represents ihe peace party as composed of the most influential class. Tbey desire a cessation of hostilities but they wish the annihilation of Ihe Mexican army, as the principal element of a lasting peace. Every victory achieved, by our army is clear gain. Tbe army has, ever since Mexico became a republic, tyranized over Ihe peaceably disposed citizens, and almost every President has been a military man, forced upon the nation by tbe soldiers. Tbe Castle of San'Juau de L'iloa has been the workshop in which have been forged most of tbe number less revolutions that have taken place since icv-i.

Jt is time Ibis military despotism were broken up until it be, Mexico can enjoy no permanent peace. The more intelligent Mexitsus see this. r.d ihey desire nothing moie than the total annihilation of tbe army. It was broken up at CerroGordo. but the last accounts represent Santa Aoa at the head i another large force, and doubtles, one or two more bailies will take plsce before we can hope for peace.

To the Friends of NEW GEOGRAPHY. BLISS'S ANALYSIS OP GEOGRAPHY, FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES. THIS is a book on an entirely new plan, and is. without doubt, one of the best works on Geoirraohv which haa ever been issued from the American Press, it is the result of many years study and experience. The author having concentrates, nts energies upon this one subject, has produced a work for Schools, of great merit, and one which we believe is destined to revolutionize existing modes of Teaching.

Among its many excellencies are the classification, and arrangement of topics, by which the pupil learns one thing at a time, and is led on step by step in a manner at once calculated to interest and instruct, 'l hat portion of it which is devoted to Descriptive Geography, ia most admirably arranged, and happily adapted to excite interest in the mind of the learner. Recommendations too numerous and too lengthy for an advertisement have been received from many of the moat distiuguished teachers in the State, who have given it a careful and critical examination. They speak of it as one of the best works which they have seen. We have just published, to accompany the above, BLISS'S OT7TX.XZTS IVTAPS. These are a series of eight large Maps correspond in sr with those in the Analysis of -Geography, which is to them a key, for Schools and Academies.

The superiority of these over other Outline Maps consists in their superior beauty. accuracy, minuteness, cheapness, and harmony of arrange meut. They are comprised in eight numbers, as follows 1 map Kastem Hemisphere. 1 Western Hemisphere, lia- rope, Asia. Africa, Worth south America, and the United States.

They are printed on super tine paper, ele gantly colored, and mounted on rollers, and backed with cloth. LVice per set of 8 maps, with the key, 9. We have been induced to pot the price thus low, in order to place them vvithiii the reach of all, hoping thereby to promote their general introduction into school districts through out the country. It is only by large sales that we can be remunerated, at so low a price. Teachers and School Committees, and all interested in the cause of Kducatioa, are invited to call at the Bookstore of the Publishers and examine for themselves.

Said farm consists of 54 acres of excellent land, well divid ed into Pasturing, Tillage and Woodland; has two never failing springs of water.

The buildings consist of a commodious, modern built COTTAGK, containing in all eleven rooms a first rate cellar under the whole house- a Barn 30 by 40 feet Carriage-House, Granary, and Wood-House, all of which are nearly new and in the best repair. There were pastured the past season nine Cows and two Horses, and were cut on the farm SO tons of English Hsy. The price at which tho Farm is offered, is but about 300 more than the actual cost of the buildings, with improvements since made. The present affords a good opportunity either to a practical farmer, or to any person about retiring from business, snd wishing a pleasant and desirable summer residence. said farm ia situated one mile trom Windsor village, and the same distance from the contemplated Depot of the Vermont Central Railroad, now making rapid progress towards completion, and which will shortly bring the k'mrm within about four hours ride of tbe City of Boston.

The unparalleled and astonishing efficacy of Dr. Wistar's Balaam of Wild Cherry, in all the diseases for which it is recommended, curing many cases after the skill nf the beat physicians was unavailing, has effected a large and increasing demand for it- This fact has caused several unprincipled counterfeiters and imitators to palm off spurious mixtures, of similar name and appearance, for the genuine Balsam. Some are called 44 Syrup of Wild (herry," 44 Balsam of Wild Cherrv, Corou-ey," Another, ester's Balsam of Wild Cherry," mis-spelling the name and forging certificates to resemble those of the true Balsam. 44 Dr. Wistar's Balsam ol Wild Cherry is the only genuine.

And it is not too much to say ber, that she was universally beloved by her teachers, schoolmates and other numerous friends, and was regarded by them, as peculiarly scholarlike, amiable and lovely. She became a hopeful subject of renewing grace, during last Fall Term, while at the Academy, and constantly exhibited to all who witnessed her consistent life, the pleasing evidence lhat her piety was genuine. And ot this she gave assurance in her last sickness snd death. Though at a period when life is peculiarly attractive, and in circumstances cal culated to render it doubly desirable, she cheerfully- i wnen anj oour is still on the advance, and there exists oa the part of many persons great fear of scarcity, it being impossible to estimate wiib any degree of certainty the stock 10 the bands of the As regards the continent, it was staled io the Chamber of Peers on the lOib instant, by Ihe Minister of Commerce aad Agriculture, that the prospects of the next harvest were extremely promising.

It appears, by a letter from Odessa, there are in the Russian ports of the Black Sea, stores of grain, for exportation from this time till tbe month of August, to the amount of 7,380,000 hectolitres, which will require about 1900 vessels to transport, that is to say, 1340 besides the 180 now at Odessa, and the 3SO in the ports of the Sea of AxofT.

Mox-rrsLiia, Friday, Jane 4, 1847 The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Ver-saont Central Railroad, was held at the Court House, in this village, at eleven o'clock this forenoon. Tbe annual Report of tbe Diteetora was read by Mr. Walton, tbe Clerk of tbe Corporation. 1 1 was a document of ao gieal lenglb, but set forth the progress of the construction of the road, and ahowed that everything relating to the business was in a great Mate of forwardness. The Treasurer's Report was read by Samuel II.

Walley, Jr. of Boston, and gave great satisfaction. It appears that the road is nearly all graded and ready for the rails, from Windsor to Montpelier. a distance of about seventy-five miles, and that tbe line has been much more favorable, as to curvatures and grades, than even its roost sanguine friends predicted will probably he all ready to be opened from While Rier village to the junction of the Connecticut and White Rivers, to Northfield. quite as soon as the Northern Railroad in New Hampshire will be opened to that place, aod then there will be a continuous line of railroad communication from Boston, via Concord, to Northfield, and perhaps to Montpelier.

In the mean time, the contractors and engineers are not neglecting to push forward other portions of the work in both directions. From ihe Treasurer's report it appeals that assessments had been paid previous to tbe 20ih of May, on 14,03:1 shares, and that many more have been paid since that time. It was supposed that the stock taken by the time when the shares of the delinquent stockholders sre sold, will amount to two millions of dollars. The whole length of tbe road will be one hundred and fifteen and a half miles, snd it will be one of the easiest roads to travel that has yet been built in this country, promising, from the great number of villages scattered along its whole and tbe probable amount of local business, a more thaa usual profit to the stockholders. Afterjhe reports had been read, a committee, of which E.

11. Derby of Boston was chairman, was appointed to collect votes for li rectors fur the ensuing year. 4S40 shares were represented, and tbe old board, consisting of Messrs. Charles Paine. Robert G.

Shaw, Samuel P. Lewis, Jacob Foster, John Peck, Daniel Wliie.and Lucius II. Peck, was unanimously re elected. This business being completed, Mr. Derby called the attention of the company to a re com -meodatioo which was made in the Directors Report, that the stockholders of this corporation should take stock in the Ogdensburg Railroad Company.

He called upon Mr. Walley, who is also Treasurer of the Ojfdensburg corporation, to explain its situation, advantages and probable benefits lo the Central Railroad. Mr. Walley made quite a concise and interesting statement of ihe advantages that must accrue to the Central toad by tbe building of the Ogdenshurg, of the favorable pro peels for its early completion, of its certainty of yielding large profits, Mr Derby followed in a short speech, setting forth the prospects to the whole of Vermont for greatly increased trade, and a great increase of all other advantages. Mr.

St. John of Charlestown. N. also made some explanation as to the feasibility of transporting freight over railroads at a cheaper rate than by canals. Tbe meeting was then dissolved.
