ordinary r-‘solution passed the lO\\'+-I‘ House
of otir L--gi.-:lature on Satiirilay. It author-
ized the apointm-nt of ii Committee to con-
sider the expediency of off?-ring the mediation

Rhode Island, for the settlement of their dif
ficiiltiesll Contentling parti-sl——wlio are

who seek by force to O\’l‘l‘ll]l’0\\' it .-’ As well
might Rhode Island attempt to mediate be-
tween our State and the gentlemen in the
stone castle at \\'eiherstieizl. \Ve do not
believe Governor King will receive such a
meditation very politely.
P. S. VVe are yrt more surprised to learn
that the above resolution has just passed the
Senate. and the Hon. Messrs, Chapman,
\Voodworth and Bisscll have been appninietl

President Ty/r'e"r, has won golden opinions
for the course he has taken in regard to the
Rhode Island difficulties. IIe has acted
with great promptitudc, fearlessness, and pat-
riotism, won expressions of approbation from
those who have been decidedly opposed to
him on several otherqm-stions.The loco focos
however. are very generally :ind strongly
opposed to the course of the President—not-
withstanding the liumbug message of the
Governor, which the Madisonian seemed to
swallow readily.-—I’__§i.llail£um.
A Nest’ of E',r,r,_gs.—l\lr Samuel Johnson
ofB-thlcm has 20 hens, which during the
year of l84ltlaid 325 tloz. or 3900 eggs of
uncommon size and quality.‘ It appears
that they far excelled the golden freighted
goose of fable notoriety, for each laid more
than seven times its own weig ht of the fair-
est eggs. The cause of this novel prosperi-
ty is pretty satisfactorily accounted for, by
the fact, that every hcn minded her own
business, made no unnecessary cackling and
did business on the plan of punctual pay-
ment: for it appears from the books that.
besides paying their own board and chanti-
cle.er’s to. they enriched the farmer's excha-
quer to the tune of 22 dollars. Ifany of
our worthy farmers can produce pr"‘0f of
more Il'lfl'lSll'l0tlS and worthy biddies, we
should like to hear them crow about it.
