Il will be an accumulation of news such aa bave not had for a long time. Party tsauea. At no period in tbo political history of our country have there appeared eo many pariicB and party issues as there ure now put before the people. Tbe significance of these diversified is.-ues, although Bach is diametrically in antagonism to tbe principles aad creed ofthe party which we advocate and follow, have a common tendency—one direct aud paramount object—which is opposition to the Democratic party—that party whose principles bave been proven, and the practical results of those principles bave been firmly established 81 being better adapted to our mode of government than any other which bas been tried. Still we must not be blind to the fact, that the present time is one of those occasions which often transpires in the vicissitudes of public as well as private 11 lo ;— we see that dangerous enemies are threatening our position, who from their movements show that they wish to wrest from us the palm ot victory : and it should admonish all our friends—all who with to (ice the welfare ot our party iii the ascendancy, tbat it is time that minor differences should by common consent be dropped, and all unite to strengthen our ranksand join against our foes. The different elements of fanaticism which have lately tprung into existence are approximating to a union for the purpose of accomplishing our de- etruction ; we aro ready for the fight—and whether it be from choice or necessity, our party is destined to be the great champion it ba3 always shown itself against the ultra political factions that oppose our doctrine***. We know that tb factions at their birth were but pi •us—but by continual agitation and circumspec tion in their plao3 ar.d movements they bave obtained » foothold, which has nourished their growth tutU they are now so strong as to bo able to come out and contest the field in a stirring campaign for national victory ; but the gauntlet of defiance bas by the Democratic party throughout the Union been hurled—aud au inspiring hope is given that its constituency will rally to a man,united in their efforts to maintain the prestige, as well as its present and future existence upon its long established platform and issues ; if we act with that unity ol purpsee we shall have no trouble in beating our opponents, aud keeping inviolable tbe Constitu tion and the Union. The Democratic party has taken its stand on the Issues of the day which are now agitated, and upon constitutional rights, m total disregard of all Bectional bias, the maintainauce of the rights of the Union, and the national honor in reference to its foreign policy, wliich ought to commend it3elf without any hesitency to all loyal Democrats and patriots who love their country aud prefer its prosperity and glory, rather than be a component part ofa fac'-io-i which ignores al! those attributes of tterling worth whicli belong to the patriot and good statesman. TJewn frcm Gr*nt Solt*Lnke. By the recent, arrival of Mr. J. Williams from Great Salt Lake tn thia place, we have later Intelligence (ban previously received * It seems thai tbe peopleoftbe Valley ore very enthusiastic fa regard to tie admission of'-Dese* ret," and they are confident that Congress will at peoe take notion ia ihe matter. We perceive that some of oar op-conn try exchanges come out strong against the admission of "Deseret" for reasons that are very plausible no doubt to themselves— which reasons, as near as we can surmise from their own word?, arc merely a wish to oppose the Mormons on account of their creed ; a reason as foolish BS tbe principle ie weak, and in contradistinction to the very letter of our Federal Constitution. We are no Mormon, neither do we wish to advocate their cause any farther than as a matter of principle—Ior in waiters conct?rning the particular religious belief of any community they are their own judges us to what will suit them best, and it ought uot to be urged as an objection against them on those particular grounds. Iu fact, their Constitution is as liberal as that of our own State, and we thiuk is equally entitled to admission aa •any other State that ever applied. Fo-- ourselves we thi uk that our cotemporaries have allowed themselves to view the matter in an ilii beral light, and hardly consistent with the ideas of enlightened progress which thev pretend to advocate. The only objectional leature in the Constitution, and the only one on which any grounds can be raised in opposition, is the facility which amendments t a it can be made. That particular clause ought to have been more guarded, and n stronger bulwark of protection thrown around than it uow possesses. The spring has opened favorably, aud the people anticipate a good harvest tbe coming season j the scarcity of provisions which haa beeu felt, ia by recent supplies entirely obviated. The Indiana were all quiet and no further difficulties were apprehended. Great improvements had been made at Los Vegas. Gaflsdeiila—Tlie Aitzom? Copper Mines. On a recent visit to San Francisco we went as fellow-passenger with Mr, Dunbar, the Superintendent of the Arizona Copper Mining Company, now at wort at the Coppermine on the Gadsden Purchase. This mine is situate about one hundred miles in a south-easterly direction from Fort Yuma, and about thirty miles north of the boundary line between the United States and Mexico, There are employed at the mine at the present time about thirty operatives, in mining and transporting the ore to the point of shipment i,Fort Yuma), most of them Mexicans. The business is progressing rapidly, and from what we were able to learn of the matter, bids fair to pay to th stockholders unusually large dividends for the capital invested. We arrived at thia conclusion, not so much from the statement of Ihe officers ofthe Company, as from an evident desire on their part to withhold from the public information iu relation to the richness ol the mine, and the facilities for carrying on the work. We apprehend tbat they have a gocd thin?, and being aware of the f;?ct. they are not anxious to publish it to the world. From specimen-* which we saw in the possession of Mr. Dunbar, and also those we saw ic the office of the Company in San Francisco, we judge that this mine is fully rqual in richness to any in the world, those of Lake Superior not excepted id by a private letter, whioh has been received here within a few days, from a gentleman at the ine, we learn that the supply is inexhau?tab!e, and alsi that the Company bave struck an exceedingly neb vain of silver ore near the same locality. The value of this mine alone is probably equal to the whole amount paid for tbe Gadsden Purchase, and yet there are doubtless many more on the Purchase ol equal value. All that ia ne'eea. e8filsary to develope them is Ihe investment of a ignites against. little capital, and the labor ot a few hundred of cur California idlers. In an agricultural point of view the Purchase is of little value, but ns a mineral region it probably surpasses any portion ol the United States, Cal \- A baud of thieves community at thi Vigilance in San Gabriel.- end robbcis have infested the Mission for a long time, aud have greatly annty- ed the people by their depredations. A short time since a meeting of tho people was held, and a Committee uf Vigilance formed to look alter them. The band numbers about twenty desperate fornia excepted. Dangerous Ami Act. V. Concerning Nuisances and Offences*, §2. "No person or persons shall fire any pistol, gun, or rifle, or other description of firearms, or discharge any air-gun wbalev<T,Mjii(Aitt the fire hull's of the city, under a penalty of five dollars for the first offence; ten dollars tor the second offence ;— and lor the third oflence, not more than fifty dollars, and imprisonment at the discretion of the Mayor not exceeding ten days." The above city ordinance ought to be borne in mind by our citizens, and ought to be enforced better than it is by our city officers. There is a custom of firing from some parts of Main street, ai objects on Fort Hill; and one afternoon this week, the residents on the high ground near ihe Hill, ho have children running about there—felt no little uneasiness ut the sound of balls passing near them, coming from a Minnie rifle fired from a corral not a hundred yards from the Courthouse aud Mayor's office. Others have the custom offir- ngfrom Rjund Hill at Fort Hill, with their rifles. Now. there 13 great danger in this practice, and reflecting men, we should think, would avoid it oui of consideration lor tbe lives and limbs of their neighbors. Besides, these Hills are public promenade grounds, daily, hourly and constantly visited hy some of the people—children are always playing upon them—cattle and horses arc also grazing there. The ordinance should be amended so as lo include these Hills " wilbin tbe fire limits o^ the city," and with or without such an amendment haractew*, aod are headed by one Gomez. The' B°od a,ld well-disposed persons, who wish to im- CctDlslUee waited upon Gomez, and informed hii ■.■:,■' his whole band were marked, aud that they • 8W hold him personally responsible for their ';„ns; that if any fur'ber outragesoecurred ihey ■ : Id -jL-oothim at sight. The result wasthatthe wl e band look the alarm and left the Mission, .'.re supposed to be lurking now in Ilii city, ez has been recognized several times within v. day or two.

San Francisco was thrown into a state of great excitement on Wednesday, the 16th inst.. in con sequence of an attempt having been made by Jas. P. Oasey, editor of Ihe Sunday Tmes, to aSSassi nate Jame-a King of Wm., editor of the Evening Bulletin. An article appeared in Wednesday's issue of tbe Bulletin in which Mr. King alludes to Mr. Casay in the fo;lowing language: •'Thefuct that Casey haa been an inmate of Sing-Sing prison in New York, is no offence against the laws of this State ; nor is the fact of his having stutl'ed himself through the ballot-box as elected to the Boaid of Supervisors from a district where it is said he was not even a candidate, any justification for Mr. Bagley to Bhoot Ca=ey. however riibly the latter may deserve to have his neck Stretched for such fraud on the people. Thene are acts against the public good, not against Mr. Bagley in particular, and however much we may detest Casey's former charge ter, or be convinced of the shallowness of his promised reformation, we cannot justify the assumption by Mr. Bagley to take upon himself tht redressing of tht-se wrongs. This (use of UagleyV has caused us much anxiety, anal we should have been pleased to have withdrawn cheerfully bis name from the list alluded to, but we cannot conscientiously do nr ore than express ourgratifica tion ut the assurances we get of his present eon duct, in which we trust he will persevere. As tt ihe Casey fight, we suggest to Mr. Bagley if In Can explain tbat away, it would not be amiss lo do so, and he ean have the use of our columns for that purpose." After the publication of ihis article, Mr. Ca3py called at the cjlitorifl room of the Bulletin, and asked tbe editor what he meant by its publication ; telling him that he was willing that all Im acta since he had been in this country should be investigated, but was not willing lhat his previous acts should be raked up. King asked him if hi was done ; if he was, to leave. Cas.ey then told him that he should say thra ugh the columns of his paper what be pleased, and, if necessary, he should defend himself; and then left. Shortly alterwards Mr. King left his oflice, and was met by Casey near the corner of Washington and Montgomery streets. As King approached, Casey cried out, " draw and de.end yourself," and im- ely throwing off a short cloak which ht wore, presented a navy revolver, when they wert but a few feet apart, aud .^hot King in the breast the ball passing through his t»ody. When he ra>- ceived the wound he exclaimed " I am shot," and staggered into the Pacific Express Office. Ca<ey was immediately hurried off to the station house and locked up. In a few minutes after the assault, the street was densely packed with meu, all in the highest state of excitement ; and aa soon ascertained that tbe assassin was at the station house, a rush was made there by the whole crow*.', with cries of "hang bim," "hang him," etc. For greater security he was carried in a carriage by the officers from the station house to the county jiil ; and to defend himself while in the carriage, he was armed with a brace of revolvers! During the even! g tiie most tremendous excitement prevailed throughout the whole city. On Montgomery street, where thu people had assem bled in Immense crowds, several exciting speeches were delivered, and strong appeals made to the people to avt-uge the blood of their fellow-citizen who had been so inhumanly shot down. From there they adjourned to the Plaza ; but for want of leaders, no organization was effected. The military were called out, and repaired to the jail, where tbey remained throughout the night, and by iheir presence deterred the people, who had assembled in large numbers, from making an attack upon it. On Thursday morning the old Vigilance Committee met together, aud came to the conclusion to have the names of those who wished to join registered. Thousands signed their names, pledging tlieir honors to carry out whatever determination the majority should come to. Great reliance was placed by the populace in the action of the Vigilance Committee. The slreets were lined with people from morning till night, the scenes of the past few days being the only topics of conversation. The bulletin boards of the different papers were surrounded by throngs of eager people, anxious to learn the action likely to he taken in Ihe matter. All fi.lt The Vigilance Committee. . One look at tbe immense crowd in front of the rooms Of the Vigilance Committee, yesterday, aw [ting an opportunity to enroll their names as members, was sufficient to satisfy us that the re- ceni shocking outrage in this community will be redrtssed by the right sort of men. All appear to be cool, deliberate and orderly, but betray a determination which is not apt to flag until the grand point for which tbey have banded together is reached. None but our very best citizens have placed their nairea on tho list of the Vigilance Committee. They come forward to take the law into their hands not because they are not law-abiding men. but because they know from a sad experience thai it cannot or will not be properly administered in cases of public assassinations, All feel, ov should feel, the truth ofthese remarks. All bumau patience in this community has been lost, upon cases which now "drag their slow length along" in our oonita of justice, or disgrace our criminal records ov? r the word "acquitted!" Then who are we to look to in such an emergency but the people? Into whose hands shail the law go, wbt-0 it has been smiled at and trampled upon in iht? presenci of our judges? Wc answer most emphatically Iht People's. The darkness of night, is no longer sought onl as a covering for deed of blood. The more horrible the crime, the broader must be the daylight in ul ich lo accomplish it; and when the murder ens weapon is presented to the breast of Ihe victim, particular care is observed that it is not done on one of *he most prominent thoroughfares in tht. cily, and in the presena;e ol crowds of witnesses. It is such outrages ol these the Committee have determined to punish and check, and th'-y do so bt cause out courts and juries have failed ta do it.' Tiie men comprising- this Committee, as we before remarked, are our very best citizens, and a knowledge of this fnct impresses us with the idea tha' all that is done will be for the present—may we not hope.permanent benefit of society.— Town Talk. —— *g^> <«4r~Qs * e asw* ■'-. l* The Marysville H-rald thus expresses itself: Another blood-stain marks the soil of'Califor- nia—another deed of infamy blackens our history as a State—another demon act has damned us in the eyes of Christendom—another demon lives unhung! James King of Wm.. editor of the Bulletin, has fallen a vict*(|to the spirit of outlawry, as embodied in the human form of Jamea P. Casey, a notorious ruffian and ballot-box stuffer. and who has been charged with having; been an inmate of Sing-Sing State Prison, and Jas. P. Casey, for ftught we have heard to to the contrary, lives! Though humanity lias been outraged and justice lias put on sackcloth—though heaven weeps and hell rejoices, this ineffable villain lives! The particulars cf the deed we publish in another column, but we do not publish the effect this last outrage will have upon our character as a people, if this deed is to go unavenged ; and that it will we do mosl truly fear and believe, because we fear and believe that there is not justice enough left in San Frai cisco to seek and obtain an expiation ofthe murderous act. We have little if any faith in the administrators of justice there—little if any faith iu the people. There are good men aud true n that city, butsearsely more than enough to have saved Soaiom. Crime has been so rile there, the sie;ht ol blood so common, that the people—even the better portion of them, have become stolid and indiffermt in regard to the perpetration of crime, We are neither the friend nor tho enemy of Mr. King, for we were but slightly acquainted, nor do we app-ove of his entire editorial course, but we know that lie was a high-minded and honorable man, a bold and fearless journalist, a terror to evil-doer.•<, and now for the truth be has spoken, we behold bim the victim of a dastardly ruffian- cue who has long disgraced San Francisco and deserved the halter years ago ; and if there is not virtue enough leit in that poor city to punish him for this last crowning act of infamy, then the earlhijurke and the fire from heaven should be her portion.

The amount covered by thera will exceed $60,000,000, including the following items for California ; Tub Cask of Backus.—We presume that most of our citizens are familiar with the particulars of the murder of'Oldman by R M. Backus. O dman was shot in the back. A Coroner's Jury was held wliich made a strenuous effort to screen the murderer, but failed. Next came an indictment for immler, and alter great trouble and expense, Backus was convicted of manslaughter. His lawyers then said the verdict was all wrong. The jury had found their client guilty of manslaughter when he had been indicted for murder. So they took an appeal to tlie Supreme Court, for a new trial. After a long delay, during which tinK Backus was as free as any of oar citizens, he obtained anoiher trial, and another vi'rdict of man- i-laughter was rendered, anal he was sentenced to the State Prison. And did he go? Not at all. Up went atu'thor appeal to the Supreme Court, to set the verdict aside on some legal quibble or trifling informality. Backus was sent to our 011\ jail where he remained until yesterday, when .._ "| understand he expressed au earnest and sincere that the time I'or action hud arrived. It bad uoWj desire lo be permitted to see San Quentin. Ami this, reader, is a fair specimen of the manner in which justice has been_administered during the to be decided whether peaceful and law-abiding citizens can be shot down wilh impunity in the streets like dogs, and their murderers allowed tti go forth uncondemnned and unpunished, qi whe ther the majesty oi the laws should be vindicated, and the assassin receive the just punishment ol his demerits. We have had but one opin'on of *he diabolical attempt made to take the life of Mr. King. With order loving men there can be but one opinion.— It waa a dastardly and atrocious attempt to silence a man, whose " faults''have been to speak the truth on many subjects too plainly to be palatable. We do not think that Mr. King is faultless, or that he bas not been injudicious in seme re!pects; we would be doing him injustice, however, did we not give him credit for fearlessly and manfully speaking out, regardless alike of the smiles or frowns of the corrupt, in opposition to every thing that he deemed wrong. He has battled earnestly and zealously to expose iniquity and to defend the rights of the people, aud if he has erred, it probably has been tor lack of knowledge, end not from a disposition to intentionally do wrong. With the exception of the San Francisco Herald, every paper in the State, so far as heard from, sustains the action ofthe Vigilance Committee. The course of the Herald was condemned by the citizens, and its patronage withdrawn to such an extent lhat it made its appearance on the Kith in less than one-half its usual size. The auctioneers, who were the main support of the paper, withdrew their advertisements. The Vigilance Committee in Possession ofthe Jail.—The Sau Fraucisco Bulletin of the 17th says, it is understood that Mayor Van Ness telegraphed to Sacramento to Governor Johnson, yesterday, that, his presence was required in this city- Tbe Governor promptly responded to the call, and arrived lire iu the steamer last evening. He im mediately had Interviews with the citizens and city authorities on the subject of tbe present excitement It is said that, after this, SheritTScan- uellj by the advice of the Governor, admitted into the Jail a Subcommittee from ihe Vigilance Committee, numbering some twenty or more, who are to remain in the building and sue that the pri- Boner, Casey, and other criminals thee coaflued, do uot escape. The Jail is thus in virtual possession, peaceably obtained, of the Vigilance Committee. _ Acknowledgments. To Mr Fort, of ^Pacific Express, we are indebted for late papers.

By a pa-Penger who left Greytown on the 20th of April for Aspinwall and Panama, we learn that, the former place was blockaded by the English frigate Ewydice, soon to be joined by other frigates of tbe English arid French West India squadron. Au American frigate was also daily expected to look after the Allies' operations. On the flight, of the 19th of April, the steamers Orizaba from New Orleans and Charles L.

At last accounts Walker was at Virgin Bay witb a portion of his army; the remainder were strongly fortified at Rivas.

Ten days after this affair, the Costa Ricans bad not advanced. In fact nothing had been heard of them, and it was presumed they had given up the idea of invading Nicaragua. With the large reinforcements that hadjoiued him, Walker had a force full strong enough to beat down all that could be. brought against him.—5. P. Herald. Surveyor General's Department.

Tlio father of Mr, WasUster, tlie great American Stat.'?pman, was very humorous aud jocose. As ha was ones journeying i:i Massacljaasetts, nut far 1'roni his nativi.' (o« n, he stopped late one night at an inn in the villiago of . fa the bar-room were about twenty persons, who called out for liitn to discover a thief. One of the eoitipanv, it appeared, had a watch taken from liis pocket a few miatite* before, and he knew the offender must be in the room with them. " Come, Mr. Alninnnc-nnker, you know the siens of the times—the hidden 1 hi rigs of the seasons—come, tell who is the thief!" " Fa*ten all the rtcvira of the room—let no one leave it." said Mr. Webster; t; and here, landlord, go.and bring your wife's great brass kettle," '• Wli— ew ! Want to know — my stars ! my wife's whe —ew!" quoth Boniface. •' Why, ynu wouldn't be more struck up if I told you. to go Io pot■!" Bon'l'ace dial as cominawleal. The great brass kettle was placed in the middle of the floor, bottom np—as black, and sooty and pmoky as the chimney brack. " You don't waut no hot water no nothing to take off the bristles cf no critter, do you. squire?'' said the landlord—the preparations looking too much !i're ho^-kiUing, "the ould ooman's gone to bed, and the well's dry.'' "Now, go to your barn and bring me the biggest cockerel you've got. " Whew!—you won't biU* him, will you! He's a tough one. I can swear he didn't steal the watch. The old rooster knows wdien it is time to crow without looking at the watch." " Go along, or I won't detect the thief." Boniface went to the burn, and soon returned with a tremendous great rooster, cackling all the way like mad. The old rooster was thrown under the inverted kettle, and the lamp blown out. '' Now, gentleman. I don't suppose the thief in here, but if he is. the rooster will crow when he touches the bottom of the kettle with his hands. Walk around in a c'rcle, aud the cock wiil make known the watch stealer. The innocent need not be afraid, you know," Th" company then, to humor him and carry out the joke, -valked round the kettle in the dark fcr a few minutes, •' All done, gentlemen?" " All done," was the cry—,; where*s your crowing—we heard uo cock-a-doodle-doo!" " Bring us a light." A light was brought or cdered. " Now bold up your hands, good folks." One held up iiis hand after another—they were of d.urse black, from coming in contact with tbe soot of thekettle. h All up?" " All up," was the response. « All black!" -A—11—don't knOW" here's one feliow wlio bawi'i in-ld up bib hand*"." " A!i. ha, my <"dd buy! let's fake a peep at your paws !"

Raphael Robatai ; 4. Capet, a citizen. Jesus shall go out of the city of Jerusalem by the gate ot Sliuenus." The above senten.'e is engraved on a copper plate; on one side are written these words :—" A similar plate is sent to each ti ine." It was found In an antique vase of white marble, while excavating in the ancient city of Aquillti, in the kingdom of Naples, in the year 1820, and was discovered by the Commissaries of Arts attached tothe French armies. , At the expedition of Naples, it was found enclrsed in a box of ebony, in the sacristy of the Charireui. The vase is lo lbe eha[>el of Caserta. The French translation was made by tin. members of the Commission of Arts. Tbe original is in the Hebrew language. The Cliar- trem requested earnestly that the plate should not be taken away from them. The request was granted as a reward lor the army. IL Dennofl, one of the savans, caused a plate to be made of the same model, on which, he had engraved the above sentence. At the sale of DIB collection cf antiquities.etc., it was bought by Lord Howard for 2,890 franc*. Benefits of Ckvisq.—A celebrated French surgeon ha?! lately published a loug dissertation on tin; beinlieial influence of groaning anal crying on the nervous system. He contend-* tliat groaniug and crying are the two grand operations by which i'ature allays anguish, and that he has uniformly observed that those patients who give way to their natuial feelings, more speedily recover from accidents and operations than those who suppose it is unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cow unlice as either to mourn or to cry. He is always pleased by the crying and violent roaring of a patient during the time he is undergoing a severe surgic.il < peration, because he is satisfi d that he will (hereby soothe his nervous system so as to prevent fever, and insure a favorable determination. He relates the case of a man, who. by crying and bawling, reduced his pulse from oue hundred and twenty six to sixly in Hie'course of two hours. That some patients often have a great satisfaction in groaning, and that hysterical patients often experience greit relief from crying, are facts which no nerson will deny. As to restless and hypochondriacal subjects, or those who are never happy but when they are under some medical or dietetic treatment, the French surgeon assures them that they cannot do better than to groan all day and cry all night. ■*»> ■■♦»'! «•» The Venkraple Cuief Editor of THB National Intkixigenchh.—A Washington correspondent of the New Yoik Commercial Advertiser thus relates an incident of recent occurrence : A matter of business had induced Joseph Gales, Esq., to visit the Capitol. He was accompanied by a young gentleman, audi presume ft was his first visit during the present session of Congress. I happened to be present when, in the course of iiis walk, he entered the Hall of Renresenlatives. Il was, perhaps, hall an hour before the House was called to order, and there was tbe usual hum of talking and laughing voices. But the moment his yira'sence was obsi-rvd. the remark—" There is Mr. Gales,'' went the entire roasd) pud a general silence prevailed.

The process cf manufacture is so interesting that we quote at length : Tbe wines of thee various places diller greatly in taste and character,'and are the produce o'fboth the white and black grape, principally of lie latter; but those Wines, which have the large- mbui^ tare;0f-the white grope are supposed io possess greater deliciaey. or, as it is called by Ihe grower, '■ finesse." The vintage commences about the end of September, and, if competed by the end of October, the yv.iv is ooasldt red to b ? a good one, as Ihe white grapes are then obtained Iu greater abundance. Aud a busy aud merry time is that ame vintage. No idlers then! Every individual, man. woman and child, is called into ra qulaiUon to gather the grapes, and every donkey and mult lo carry them. Troops are seen In all directions, aa- cending and dsscepdjug the steep and narrow path?- leading to ihe vineyards. In some plaoaa the grapes, after being gathered in the cool of,tbe morning, are carried in baskets, und whichever tbe mode of transit, are then placed in ihe wine presses, the juice running into casks, where it Is allowed to ferment. The grapes are not put into * mash-tub, but undergo three or four separate squcezings. In about a fortnight ihe casks aro filled up, bunged tightly, and allowed to remain until the miald'e of January, when thf) wine ts racked ofl'andclarified, In May the process of bottling commences, ? ach bottle receiving ft lump ol sugar candy, (we suppose lo keep it in good humor,) and Ihe cork is Fastened wltf a string.
