The Dying Year.
BY CORNELIA HUNTINGTON.
., Hush hush! the year is dying
Hark! through old forests dim
. The wailing winds are sighing
Their requium over him
Jn quiet, deep and holy,
r. . He sinks to his repose;
: And languidly and slowly,
His weary eyelids close.
. Now some with tearful sadness,
The parting year review;
While others hail with gladness
' . . The advent of the new.
! In glad young hearts are swelling
' Fresh fountains of delight,
In many a festive dwelling
' The Christmas fires are bright.
And stricken ones are weeping
' Beside the darkened hearth,
. O'er loved and lost ones sleeping
' u Low in the tranquil earth
Strance -stransre what bitter blight-
ing
What deeds lo startle thought
: Wild, wonderful, exciting,
. One short, sad year hath wrought.
While we stir the dust of ages,
' Time's dreamy realms explore
Spell out from mould'ring pages,
Their quantity written lore
Twere well to bind this season,
"Men only live to hasten,
Like shadows to depart."
It is stated that five hundred
" guineas have been offered for the priv

Thb Cohstitutioh and its Fra
kers. We have before us an old
pamphlet entitled "Jocrsai op the
Cohvettioh, of the Territory of the
United Slates, north-west of the
Ohio, began and held at Chiilicothe,
on Monday, the first day of Novem
ber, 1802, and of the independence
of the United States the twenty-seventh.
From the Press of N. Willis,
Printer lo the Convention."
' This Journal, with all its affixes
and prefixes, numbers but 46 pages,
and, therefore, can in noway com
pare with the vast and voluminous
book, which the present Convention
is preparing for. the delight and edifi
cation of posteritv. In fact, we re
gret that the Old Convention was so
impressed with the idea, that brevity
is the soul of wit, that they have left
us a bare skeleton of their acts and
scarcely a vestige of their thoughts.
But they did leave us a Constitution
a free Constitution in which the
sovereignty ol the people was not
restrained by despotic prohibitions,
and uuder which they have lived
happily, comfortably and prosperous
ly lor half a century. I he best
luck, which can be wished for the
people of Ohio under the New Con
stitution is, that they may fare no
worse than they did under the old
one. it was tormed, when Uhio
knew no party divisions, and when
the Convention itself save a willing
tribute to the administration of Mr.
Jefferson. A brief reference to the
Convention may not bs uninteresting
now.
The Convention consisted of thirty
Jive members.representing nine coun
ties. 1 he whole Miami country was
then divided into the two counties
of Hamilton and Clermont: the
whole Scioto country into the coun
ties of Ross and Adams; the whole
Muskingum country was contained
n the county of Washington, and
the whole Western Reserve in th
count' of Trumbull. The residue
of the State was divided into the
counties of Jefferson, Belmont and
Fairfield. About one half the Terri
tory of Ohio then belonged to the
Indians.
Among the members of the Con
vention were four, who afterwards
became Governors ol the State, viz:
Tiffin, Huntington, Worlhington and
Morrow, and three who were sena
tors, viz: Morrow, Worlhington and
John Smith, who was expelled, for
aiding Burrs expedition.
The Printer to the Convention
was N. Willis (the father of N. P.
Willis the poet,) who also claimed to
have established, at Chiilicothe, the
first religious newspaper printed in
the United States.
The President pro tern of the Con
vention was one of the most remar
kable men in it Dr. William Go-
forth, of Cincinnati. He was a
practising physician ol merit, of in
telligence, and scientific taste. John
W. Browne of this county, was an
Englishman by birth, and a Llergv
man, the father of S. J. Browne, and
one of the first persons interested in
advancing the Cincinnati College.
Governor Morrow, then represented
this county, and so did John Smith,
the after expel led Senator. J he reg
ular President of the Convention
was Dr. Tiffin, of Ross, by birth an
Englishman, one of the earliest set
tlers of Chiilicothe, and afterwards
Governor. The Western Reserve
had a single member, in the person
of Samuel Huntington, afterwards
Governor,
It may be remembered, as an ex
ample of sectional and popular mu
tation of opinion, that Mr. Hunting
don, who then represented the Web
tern Reserve, voted against every
proposition to give the colored people
the right of suffrage; while all the
Hamilton county members, (ten in
number,) except John Smith, voted
for their right to suffrage. I hings
atmear to be reversed in the present
Convention. ' On the question of
negro suffrage, the representatives of
Ross and Fairfield occupied the same
ground then ihat they do now; al
ways opposed to any mingling of
races and rights.
The question whether the negroes
then in the State should vote was
finally decided in the negative, by
the casting vote of the President of
the Convention.'Dr. Tiffin.
The Convention met on Monday,
the 1st day of November, and ad
journed Monday, the 29th day of
November, having been in session
just four calender weeks. Each ar
ticle of. the Constitution was refer
red lo a Committee, which repor.led
nrcmptly, and very little debate was
indulged on ths amendments propo-
easf
; Some omissions . in -the doings of
the Convention are worthy ot re
mark, as contrasted with what many
think the work of supererogation
the present Convention, t First, no
attempt was made to prevent or res
trict the existence of Banks; for, the
State was then ia the midst of
hard-monev miUetuum! It wa
realized on all sides, i Farmers paid
their neighbors for land or goods in
cut mmey, whereby . a dollar was
made into nve quarters! - Merchants
transported specie in - saddle-bags,
and settlers who bought land of gov
ernment carted their dollars over the
mountains, and General Findlay, the
Receiver at Cincinnati, locked it up
in his Sub treasury box.
Next, we find nothing about repeal,
or prohibitions on credit, or restric
tion on corporations; tor, it never
entered into their heads that com
mercial corporations, for beneficial
purposes, could be such awful crea
tures as they are now represented to
be! Finally, we find no attempt to
bridle the sovereignty of the people.
On the contrary, the old Convention
seemed to think that the people were
able to govern themselves and at
the close of their labors passed a
vote of thanks to President Jefferson
and Congress that they also had
looked upon it in that point of view;
and the young State of Ohio was
about to legislate for her own affairs.
These were some of the things in
which the Old and New Conventions
seem to have thought not exactly
alike. We may only hope again,
that if the new Constitution should
ever have a real existence, that this
State may grow and flourish under
its influence for half a century to
come. Cin. Gaz.
Modern Inventions—A New Composing
Modern Inventions—A New Composing Machine.
The Courrier des Etats Unis pub
lishes the following account of a new
composing machine, which has been
invented in France:
"An important problem has just
been solved; the means of putting
together with speed, and at small
cost, moveable type, is discovered.
A French engineer, after having ta
ken everr precaution against imita
tion or counterfeit, as well in France
as abroad, has entered for exhibition
at the World's fair, a composing
machine, which surpasses all the
improvements which have been at
tempted up to the present day. The
new machine, which rejects the
whole system now in use, comprises
within itself, a distributor and a set
ting-stick; being each, cases inclu
ded, about twenty tour inches in
depth. Within tins space are con
tained sixtv-four thousand letters re
quired by the compositor in the dav
The same cases adopt themselves al
ternately to the distributor and the
compositor.
After an intelligent disposition of
the new cases, a man can compose
with four different characters, Ro
man or Italic, without distributing
the cases, or leaving his place. The
machine distributes, regulates and
interlines, at a rate of ten thousand
ems per hour; it does not require,
on the part of the compositor, any
new apprenticeship. The inventor,
who has labored fifteen years at his
work, has endeavored to preserve as
much as possible of the actual meth
od, and to employ the characters,
tools, and accessories, now used in
printing. This remarkable inven
tion is of immense importance to the
typographical art; and it is consider
ed that it may yet be applied with
advantage to the electric telegraph."
In connection with this invention,
and the American invention of Col.
Hoe, our cotemporary, the Courrier
des hlats Unts, makes the following
just remarks: "We here behold a
practical, and most happy solution,
of new problems; and such improve
ments could not come more oppor
tunely to respond to the wants cre
ated in modern society, bv the im
mense development of the press.
When we reflect on the predominent
part, which this agent ol thought
performs amongst every civilised peo
ple; when we reflect upon all the in
terests, the wants, the necessities, in
the relations of people to people,
family to family, man to man, which
t embraces, we have a right to ex
pect that the human mind should
apply itself to produce in this de-"
partment ol invention, Ml the won
ders of which God has placed wilh-
n it, the germ and the power.

The Six Law Students.
a
s
Some twenty years ago there
were at Lebanon, Warren county,
O., six Students at Law, who were
all. admitted to practice in the sever
al judicial courts of Ohio. They
were Courtland Cushmg, Kobert C
Schenck, William B. Probasco,
Milton Williams, Charles S. Bryant
and Richard R. McNemar. Since
the "admission" of these Sprigs of
the Law" we have looked with anx
ious solicitude to see how well, or
how ill, they would succeed in the
vicissitudes of life. Mr. Cashing lo
cated at Madison, Ind., and soon
rose to the station of one of . the
District Attorneys of that State; and
thence was elected to the office of
President Judge of the "Common
Pleas, in which capacity he served
many years with honor to himself.
and satisfaction to the Baf. He is,
bv a recent appointment, U. S.
Charge de1 A fairs at Quito, South
America. .
Mr. Schenck established himself at
Dayton, Ohio, in the practice of his
profession, in company with Judge
Crane, and was in due time- "sent
to Congress" from that District,
where he acquired, for himself,
name worthy "an Ohioan," and an
American Statesman. He is now
appointed Minister of the U. S. to
Brazil.
Mr. Probasco went to"' Florence,
Alabama, and entered, with high
hopes, and a brilliant promise, upon
the business of his profession. Hav
ing succeeded to a lucrative practice,
he died in n few years thereafter, res
pected and beloved by all who knew
him. We mourned his death as
that of a brother.
Mr. Williams remained at Leba
non, where he opened an office, and
succeeded almost immediately to a
business nearly equal to the old
brethren. He still resides there, and
js eminent among "the Lebanon
Lawyers." He is now a prominent
member of the Constitutional Con
vention in session at Cincinnati.
Mr. Bryant, after pitching his
tent, first at Granville, then at Day
ton, finally obtained "a habitation
and a name" in Cincinnati, where by
diligence and application in the busi
ness of his many clients, it is said, he
has "become rich. ' "'
The lust one named in the list,
went to Urbana, to play his part in
the busy world, and where he
remained in "the practice," with
more or less success till May last,
when he migrated to Springfield,
opened a Law office, and became the
Editor of the "Republic" In this
new field o! Industry, he hopes
through the kind indulgence of
trier.ds, and the increasing patronage
ot the public, lor which he is truly
grateful, to make his labors, more
than ever, subserve the cause of his
country, and the welfare of his fellow-
men.
jnougn said. Who can name an
equal number, starting into business
life at the same time, from the same
place, who, leaving our humble self
out ol view, have succeeded more
favorably than these "Six Law Stu
dents?"
We give the hand of a kindly
greeting, to the survivors of our little
company, and wish them all a happy
and still more useful, life here, and
one of joy hereafter. Spring. Rep.
CTWe find the following in the
Memphis Enquirer:
Mr. Victor St. Victor, an elderly
gentleman, aged nearly eighty, who
has for a great many years been en
gnged as a teller in the Bank of
Louisiana, was so affected by being
supplanted in his omce, at iew Or
leans the other day, that he went
crazy, snatched some $80,000 of bills
and ran off.. He was found by the
police the next day, in a sta'e of nu-
ditv.and some o0,000 of the money
recovered. The officers of the Bank
had told Mr. V. that his removal
from the office ol Teller was not
dismissal from the service of the
Bank, but to assign him lighter du
ties, more suitable to "his age; but
the effect seem3 to have been to un
settle his reason. .It is a melancholy
affair. . ; '

Trahstcsioji or thr Blood.
We find in the Courier des Etats
Unis of the 23d instant, a curious
and interesting case which occurred
in the Hospital of Saint Louis, in
Paris lately, in which the blood of
one person was transfused into the
veins of another, and the life of the
recipient saved or at least prolonged
by the operation. The patient was
a woman and after her accouchement
a profuse and exhausting "hemorage
followed. Her pulse had ceased to
beat for several minutes, and noth
ing more than a slight undulatory
shuddering could be perceived from
time to time. She was evidently
dying, and as the last resort of his
art, the surgeon, M. Nelaton, deter
mined to try what effect transfusion
would have, which determination
was soon carried out One of the
attendants, M. Dufour, voluntarily
offered to lose his blood in the cause
of humanity, and the required quan
tity being taken from his arm, it
was injected from a syringe into a
vein of the head of the patient, and
passed immediately into the system.
The blood was injected at about it
natural temperature. The whole
quantity was from thirteen to four
teen ounces. There were two in
jections, the first of about eicht oun
ces and alter an interval ol five mm
utes, five or six ounces more. The
woman revived immediately and
was doing well lor a week after the
operation, when she was enrned off
by an inflammation of the bowels,
1 he transfusion was considered to
be perfectly successlul.
A minute account of tne process of
transfusion is given, but that we
omit, as every surgeon would know
how to perform the operation.
1 ransfusion of the blood was tried
n England and France 'nearly two
hundred years ago, and after being
a medical hobby for a few years, fell
into disrepute and was altogether
abandoned. At Paris it was pro
hibiled,on account of some unsuc
cessful experiments, and Perrault,
a distinguished anatomist, give it the
coup de grace by a bon mot: A man
could not chan je his blood, he said,
as he does his shirt.
And so this theory, like a thou
sand others, was raid upon the shelf,
forever, until resuscita
ted by M M. Prcvost and Dumas,
about thirty years ago, who demon
strated, by experiments on animals,
that Hood artificially supplied by
transfusion would renn;mate them
and restore the vital energies; but
the blood transfused must be from
an animal of the same specie of the
recipient, and the physical and chem
ical properties or the same. And
it ought always to be the blood of a
young and healthy person, when the
experiment is to be tried on a hu
man being. The old experimenters
erreH by injecting the blond of
quadiipeds into the human system
and thevdid not enploy the same
degree of skill that is now employ
ed. Within the last twenty five jears
there have been not less than ten
or twelve cases of transfusion in
England and Germany, and nil have
been successful the account says.
But, upon the supposition that they
have not all been still if a mijty
has, it is encouraging enough to jus
tify the experiment in desperate and
very doubtful cases. If the blood
of nil healthy persons is physically
and chemically the same, or very
nearly so, reason would seem to in
dicate, that in cases where a defi
ciency in the quantity of blood in ihe
system is what makes the danger,
then an artificial supply would be a
natural remedy.

Correspondence of Gallipolis Journal.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 15, 1851.
Eds. Journal: The scripture ay,
"There is a time to siDg, and a time to
dance," and I am pretty well convinced
that there is a proper time for all things,
else would we so jumble together events
and actions, that it would be hard to tell
whether we were singing or dancing in
this world to any other music than that
of folly, or any other piping than that of
idleness. I was forcibly impressed with
this fact, by a few moments observation
yesterday in the Convention. It appears
as if some of the members were impres
sed wi.h the idea that they are tent to
this Convention, solely for the purpose
of expressing all the folly they could,
(and some are capable of a great deal I
assure you) and then to wrangle with
their fellow-laborers, because they are
disappointed in their own-powers to en
act foolishness. A few days since bow
ever, the real working portion of the
members urged forward and adopted a
rule limiting each member to 20 min
utes at a time, and compelling them to
say in two speeches, all they should have
to offer on any proposition before the
house. This has had the effect to put
a quietus on several of the spouters,
and a great improvement is already dis
ccrnab'e in their labor and actions A
rather spicy deUnte was bad the other
day on the proposition to give the female
portion of our community the right to
vote, and several per lie men took the
occasion to deliver their opinions upon
the principles of universal suffrage, but
it was evident from the general appear
ance of the members, that the Con
! o, .ne moniuer., . ui o-
ir.n is not yet so far in the advance,
, adopt and incorporate into our fun-
ental 'law, a proposition so innova -
venti
as to
daraental law, a propos
tins and novel. Every sensib!o matron
in our land fand they are lesion! already
exerts as powerful an influence on the I
minds and character of our peoplo as j
they would if allowed to mix up their
time with electioneering speech-making
voting. 1 have long held to tho J
opinion, that a proper system of uni-j
versal education would correct a vastj,he
number of the real evils that exist ' (
.ociety; and the true P'P'"f
ernmenl, when fmrly understood and
practically carried out, would do away
with all the imaginary evils that have '
so long haunted the minds nnd disturbed
imnginotions of a gaodly number of
philosophers and reformers. Your
from Gallia, whencverhe puts(ty
in his say it is to some purpose and he j
will leave hi mark upon tho new Con-jan(j
ef.fiifistn I om nr. mnrrn nl hurnnn
nature: and in connection with this I
will add, that Mr. Iforton of Meigs oc
casionally gets into tho chair, and he
seems perfectly at home. Business is
put forward in regular locomotive fash
ion, and yet with sufficient care and
tact to avoid all seeming carelessness or
want of consideration. He would make
his mark in whatever station he might
be placed, and if ever called to a mora
cnmmadinng position in the public ser
vice, will eminently fill it with credit
to hinifelf and honor to the country. :
The weather hero during the -.
tor has been unusually mild and occa
sionally snrinclikc; so that wo have
hardly realized the fact of old winter's
presence among us.
Politics and politicians - seem very
quiet just now, and the only thing that
has excited the public mind of Icte, was
the recapture, in this city, of a fugitive
slave a few days since, and her volun
tary return to slavery.
She was accompanying her young
master to his home in Kentucky, and
while tho boat was aying at our wharf, '
she went on shore with her chi d and '
hid away on another boat, thinking
probably, that her master wou d leave,
the city on the same boat that brought
rhem to town. She was discovered
however in her biding place, but again j
attempted to escape on reaching the j
shore. Her master overtook and seized
upon her, but her colored friends co'lec
ted around, and a battle commenced in
which police officers, abolitionists,
negroes, &.C., engaged, and ended in
the reenpture of the girl, who was at
once hurried off to the lockup. The
examination took place next day, but
before it was concluded, she requested
be returned without further trouble to
her master. Thus ended the nffiiir.
In my next I will give you some items

played by certain individuals, in order

The Columbus correspondent of
the Portsmouth Inquirer gives the
f0lowing os tho resuU 0, th
e com
promise between the Iron and Scioto
and Hocking Valley Road relative to
the Jackson county subscription: '
Our railroad bill, reported a day or
two since from the Judiciary com
mittee, was on motion of Mr." Moore
yesterday, referred to a select com
mittee, . consisting of himself, Mr.
Bundv and Mr. Clierrinirton. This
committee met last evenine and
nzreed t0 report a section in lieu of
- reporte(j by tIl0 Judiciary com.
- h 'hi, . d f uIfjustictt
gives them
, r -b,. ,
aH th;lt 'y have any rrght to ask,
secures to our company Ihe Jackson
county subscription. The leading
leaiures oi me pmpuseu amenaments
are: to permit tho two companies to
unite at the present proposed junc
tion, if they can agree upon terms,
which there can be no doubt they
will do. II not it gives the Iron
company power to use so much of
ur road in Jackson county as will
be built witlAhe $100,000, paying
reasonable sum for such use; if they
agree within three months to do so, '
they are to relinquish any claims
'hey may now have to the right of
way along liaie s creek. 1 think
thin was a happy conception of our .
Representatives, and I should think
would be satisfactory to our compa
ny. It should, though it may not be
to the Iron company. The bill as
thus amended is now in the hands of
the printer and will probably come
up, and a vote be had upon it to
morrow ortnenextday.
"Vegetables." We have receiv
ed a fine solid potatoj-fro'm Henry
Fuller's farm, in Portland, Oregon.
weighs three and a half pounds,
and measures twenty-three and a half
inches jn circumference. We have
also received from our friend, Thorn
as J. Dryer, a turnip weighing 35
pounds., This in something for Ore
gon, but we raise bigger potatoes ia
lhisState,nnd as to turnips, there was
one on exhibition on Central wharf,
Sunday, which could not be got
into a flour barrel. Dryer say t he
would have sent us a cabbage, but
they could not get it aboard of the
cteamer. CaL Cour, '
