We hope to keen up with the bustle of the lively world as soon as wc can complete, our exchange list. . This is the latest,-coldest, wet test and most unpromising spring wea ther within the memory of our oldest inhabitants. OCT Thu excellent channel of com munication furnished by the Tallahat chie river, combined with the extreme richness of the soil in this section of the State, must command the attention of enterprising men, and will ultimate ly render this the most populous part of the State. The increase of popula tion at this moment indeed is more rap- id-than that of any other part of Mis sissippi. We shall hereafter state some facts, which will shojv that our conclu sion as to the prospect ahead is in no decree too sanguine. le has in good lord fasten ' "Sketk and th hooks and eyes in her frock fiP- 'Hasty-ear of her marriage, he has fotJJJJ Vne every year since, and nojlon. p ho will hook but the one round tKf'waist.

S ALUTATORYi In presenting to the public the first number of the Panola Weekly Register, it may be well to state what course wc intend to pursue. As wc have hereto fore enred with a share of zeal in the political conflicts of the day, it will be naturally expected by our old patrons at least, (many of whom still rem.n on our subscription list.) that we shall not throw off the political armor. Op pose the principles we have advocated, or advocate such sentiments as we have opposed, we shall not. Yet we claim and exercise the right of withdrawing from the arena of parly conflict, and fr The Louisville Journal state that the bill to repeal the Bankrupt law, has passed the Senate. Perhaps the repeal bill will be vetoed. The Times. The time was, when a mechanic migh get work, do it according to promise, am orpt nnid for it. ' . . . . - l.

On Friday night last, and for two or three nights after, a wonderful phe nomenon appeared in the heavens pro bably a meteor, much resembling a comet. That seen on Friday night seemed further south than the same or others as the case may be, on subse quent nights. On Friday night it was clear, with bright monlight afterwards a little cloudy and hazy which may ac count for the different appearances The phenomenon was visible about two hours each nigh, and its course was from east to west. Its 'ength on Fri day night, as it appeared to the naked eye, was equal to one half the arc of the visible circumference of the entire hea vens twice the length, of ihc most re markable comet on record. We almost imagined we could see in it the nucleus of a comet, and on Sunday night the appearance of a star at the head, was indistinctly visible. The weather having been cloudy for a considerable time previous to Friday night; it may be acomet, and held its position Within view of the earth the usual time.

Dr. Smith, in a recent lecture on Geology, in New York, mentioned a curious circumstance connected with the Mississippi river. It runs from north to south and its mouth is actually fnnr miles hicher than its source, a re sult due to the centrifugal motion of the earth. Thirteen miles is ihc dif ference between the equatorial and polar radius; and the river in 2000 miles has to rise one-third of this distance, it be in" the height of the equator above the pole. If this centrifugal force were not continued, the rivers would flow back, and the ocean would overflow the land. Cin. Gaz. Pantaloon Straps, A medical jour, nal, published at Boston, states lhat the wearing of straps to the pantaloons has a tendency to make a man round shoul dered ; and that lameness in the knees has been caused thereby that the great muscles of the thigh are connected with the knee-pan, and require freedom of motion which they cannot have under the restraint of straps and that the fashion should be given up.

Bridgeport Standard. Mechanical Operations of the Mouth. Some of the operations of the mouth are deserving of particular notice. They will be found to elucidate several philosophical principles, and attention to them would certainly have enabled in ventor to anticipate many useful disco veries. We have, in a preceding book? observed that the mouth is often employ ed as a forcing pump in ejecting liquids, and a sucking one when drawing them through syphons or through simple tubes. We have just seen how it raises hot liquids, by drawing a stream of air over them ; and machines, on the same principle, have been made to raise wa ter. It is often used as MIows to kin dle, and every body employs it to coo' hot victuals, by blowing. It even acts as a stove, to warm our frozen lingers, lv giving out heated air. Many make a condensing air-pump of it, to fill blad .L.o fitF.liofl.3- .mil air-nillows : some UUI r , uii wv--', 1 7 -4 .-1 . : i- : . .,.i : -n make an rxiuiuMiny hub i h, hvj m it acts continually as both in respira.

This philosophical observation caascj a general laugh, and Socrates in pctri. coats played the snarling cynic during ;hc rest of the evening. A group of u were gathered around a small table in the genilemenj cabin, each one telling his quota of "hair breath 'scapes," and adventures by flood and field.
