Having recently added a variety of New Styles e s TYPE to our Job Department, we are prepured t . execute every description of LETTER PRESS PRINTING! in a superior manner, and on reasonable terms. f il ing the assortment are some Mammoth Tyre for POSTERS. 1 Editor of the Gmstitutionalist: Among the many subjects upon which the en lightened mind contemplates, none are more pro : and than the study of man, the last, the best, the i. 'blestwork of Deity. Possessing a superiority over the brute creation, he subjects the roaring li .a to his command —the prancing steed yields to his skill-the deer, in his flight, falls before the aim of the huntsman—the lordly buffalo leaves his native prairie and darkens the plain in his wild flight. Man, at his command, decks the sea with the sails of commerce, beautifies the barren hills with flourishing cities, substitutes the verdant grain for the briery rabble, talks with the lightning, rides with a speed which would have astounded the nations of antiquity. The want promulgated, and some inventive genius, even though a yankee, arouses his dormant energies, and ere the deficien cy is mentioned, it is complete. Every person has a pecruliar phiz, so every one has also a peculiar mind. To one is given the power to ride upon the whirlwind and course the lightning in its fury; to another the pleasure of' traversing verdant meed, leveling in the beauties of a tropic eve. To one die eloquence of the Senate ; to another the sancti ty of the lawn. To one the chivalrous spirit; to another the meek and lowly heart. Prudence pre dominates, and again carelessness overruns beauty. To one mind the"cloud-capped pyramids of Egypt afford meditation; to another the modest violet contains the germ of a principle which delights the botanist. The sun in its splendor, the moon in its majesty, the stars in their loveliness attract the attention of the astronomer. The formation of the diamonds, the composition of the metals, the hidden beds of gold and silver, the various strata of the earth employ the mind of the geologist. The proper formation of government, the correct adaiinislration of the same, afford nutrition for the politician. The composition of the mind, its exist ence when and where, for what object, receive the investigation of the metaphysician. The ruthless hand of the warrior drips with the blood of inno cent women and harmless children—cities lay smoking in ruin—the face of nature no longer pre sents an aspect for the poet’s pen or the orator’s image The rural cottage with its woodbine twin ing in loveliness around its portals, lies a mournful ivr •'k of what it was yesterday. The clangor of arms, the shrill notes of the fife, the animating h, . f the drum, the frantic neighing of steeds, tv- victorious shout of battalions, could afford mu j ves, music sublime to the ear of Napoleon. It v different the benevolent, the god-like How mo. The wails of the dying, the pallid form of the dead excited a pity in that manly breast. Did the widow lament, the orphan cry for food and raiment, Howard could drop a sympathetic tear, and freely give his share. How difficult would be a description of such a creature, hike the chame -- uhe is tiie child of change. Circumstances to wn will elate him, to-morrow depress. The pupil t'Miarht that the definition was correct when he d - iibed him to be an object without feathers, with a mouth, two legs and two eyes, until con vinced bv Diogenes placing before him a chicken picked. The physical organization of man is no it ss interesting. The minute adjustment of every limb to give the greatest advantage with the least labor —every hone so formed that there shall be no pain given when in action. The manner in which ihe blood is conducted through the heart, vein and artery, al! bespeak the power of Divinity. If man, then,’ was created superior to all earthly beings; if his labors are more extended than the beasts of I the field, the fowls of the air, and the fish of the j sea, the first question to he propounded is, how j can he best fill that station—now can the burden i incumbent on hint he most happily discharged? The rcplv is, live in accordance with an upright conscience When your end is accomplished, pos terity will enshrine vour memory in their hearts wars after the body has commingled with its pa- ! rent dust. The last end of man is sad. Mortali- j tv is written on his nature. He passeth away. Friends m- urn, i:r- howling wind plays its solemn dirge over the lonely burying ground. The moon casts a pale and sicklv light upon the habitation of the dead. The white tombstone stands a lone monument of the once active but now nerveless man. Study, ye mortals, the object of yarn- exist ence, and mi fulfill it that when the king of terrors shall claim its victim, thou canst exclaim to have lived well was not to have lived in vain. L. To tie Elitor of the Constitutionalist: 1 “Hutton” in the Chr-nirle <f- Sentinel of Sunday morning, endeavors to produce an impression that , til’.' election held on Saturday had failed to decide 1 the question as to the authority of the City Coun- ■ oil to subscribe 000 to the Savannah Valley j railroad, and like others, opposing that enterprise, , presents only so much of the law under which it \ was made as suited his partizan views. According to Sec. 22. “No subscription shall be made in anv case without the previous concurrence ’ t a majority of the legal voters of said city, as ’ 'reinafier designated,--ike cotes tote taken in the •v cjyand manner, and returns to be made, as in the case of an election of Mayor and members of Coun ell of said city,—the time of voting to lie fixed by tlie City Council, and to be advertised three days in all the public gazettes of said city—and unless a moi mty of votes be in favor of any subscription it shall no!be made.” The act of the Mill of December, 1822, Sec. 5, designates the way and manner of electing the Mayer and members of the Council, and is as fol lows: “At the next general election, for members s' the Council of Augusta, and at every subse quent election, the persons entitled to vote for such members in their respective districts or wards shall, . : the same time and in the same manner, vote : r some lit and proper person to till the office of Mayor of said city, and it shall be the duty of he persons presiding at said elections, or some three or more of them, immediately after they have closed the polls ot the day, to assemble to gether at the place of holding the election in the middle ward or district Mo. ■_>, and having added together the votes received for Mayor as aforesaid, shall thereupon declare the person I having the highest number of votes duly elected | llavor of the city.” j In the late law, “the previous concurrence of a j of the legal voters of said city” is made j lately necessary to authorise the subscription ' 1.,: made, and the way and manner of obtaining ■t previous concurrence is very plainly designa ted ns similar to that by which it is ascertained who is duly elected Mayor. ’ There is no act to compel any one or more of the persons entitl'd to vote, to '• on any question, hence the way and manner is I V i :Drlv designated in the act of 1822, and it >* thus established that the highest number of votes pulled, is a majority of the legal voters. >u ?': - that on "the day of the election not one >"'e ..ad been polled, then of course, and aecord to the prescribed way and manner of asccrtain the concurrence or non-concurrence of the ' 'ters, nothing would have been decided, as 'j the C 'tincil would have not been authorised to jaase the subscription, but if only three votes had been polled, two for no subscription undone for - Me: n, then we would have had a decided; • apresstou of mu-con urrence; but if, on the con- ! vary, two of the votes had been for subscription ana one lor no subscription, there would have been ! ? u ' i '-tally decided expression of concurrence, which, j appears to me, is all the law requires. In this : a-giuneat, J take the ground that, although a man | may be eut tiled to vote and may have his name re - * and his certificate of registry in his pock ;yet, unless he goes to the polls and actually votes •;* is not a legal voter, according to law, for how - au a man !. ■ a legal or illegal voter, if he neglects or ref-is-'s to vote : Pxlgauuo. • t) Buie.v.—A numerous deputation of ;', 1 ariiatnentary friends of Mr. Smith O'Brien aaa an interview with the Premier, to request that permission might be granted to Mr. O’B. to return " tae L mted Kingdom. - ' ! rt * assured the deputation that should have his most anxious eonsider “2■’?, to which it was entitled, not oulv on account .” s peculiar uature, but from the additional ~y-g!|t which it derived from the present influen y imputation.

Dinner to the American Minister.— Last night, the Lord Mayor andJLady Mayoress entertained Mr’ Buchanan, the American Minister, and a select party at dinner in the Egyptian Hall of the Man sion House, as a mark of respect and consideration on the occasion of his leaving England as the ren reseillative of the United States, to return to his native country. On the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk, that of the Army and >avy having been responded to respectively bv Lieutenant-General Harvey Jones and Lord Rad stock. The Lord Mayor then said, lie had among his visitors that evening a distinguished gentleman and an illustrious statesman, the Minister of the United States. (Cheers). That gentleman was about to leave this country, his successor to this Court having been appointed, and daily expected to arrive among us. He should have felt it a great reflection on his mayarality, and a manifest dere liction of duty, if he had omitted such an oppor tunity of showing that mark of respect to the Minister of the United States which he had in his power to bestow, as their chief magistrate of the city of London. At all times, the citizens of Lon don had received, and he trusted ever would re ceive, with more than ordinary pleasure, the rep resentative of the great trans-Atlantic Republic in ' this country; and it was in that sense, and also because he was about to return to his native land, that Mr. Buchanan was peculiarly welcome to par take of his hospitality. (Cheers). He knew that he would carry with him the best wishes of the people of this country for his happiness and pros perity in his own land, and he would return there tvith no other than a kindly and abiding recollec tion of the great people among whom he had been <o long resident. lie gave them “the health of | Mr. Buchanan.” (Loud cheers). Mr. Buchanan—My Lord Mayor, ladies and j gentlemen— l receive with profound and grateful j feelings this testimonial from the present com pany, of the regard in which they hold my coun try, for Ido not attribute it to myself. 1 can say, however, in all truth and sincerity, that I shall ever preserve a grateful memory of the kindness which I have invariably received in England. 1 have yet to meet the first English gentleman who j has not treated ineas if I had been a countryman j of his own. (Cheers.) I sav nothing of the ladies, i because I ought not to. speak of them, although they are the fairest part of the creation. I shall carry home with me every sort of grateful feelings towards the people of this country, among whom I have never felt myself a stranger. Speaking the same language, having read the same books, 'hav ing had intercourse with a kindred free people, 1 have always spoken my sentiments freely and re- i spectfully in every society in which I have been- ! I have invariably found that an English gentleman j Tea led me kindly; and if we differed in opinion, we have had a fair argument, and we have always parted in peace and friendship. With regard to the two countries, what a dreadful misfortune it would he to the whole human race if thev should ever again be involved in war! (Hear,"hear.) How it would injure and throw back the cause of civili zation and of human liberty. (Hear, hear.) How it would delight the despots of the earth to find ’ these two nations destroying themselves, and in I (hat way destroying every hoped progress to man- f Kind! (Cheers.) I hold that, there can be no po- ' luieal slavery where the English language is the j language of "the country. (Renewed Cheers.) It: ; s impossible; and so far from there being any j jealousy—so far from its being proper that there I fiiould be any jealousy in either country as to the honesty and fair extension of the frontiers of either. 1 it ought to be considered a blessing to mankind ; that they should have the opportunity of extend- i mg their freedom and liberal institutions overall i the unsettled parts of the earth. (Cheers.) lam i sorry to say that, with all these feelings and senti- I ments, from the first separation of the two coun- j tries, there has unfortunately always been a group of unsettled questions. There is a cloud now tin- ! pending over their relations ; hut 1 trust in God, ! and I believe, that that cloud will be speedily dis -ipated, and that the sunshine of peace and friend- j ship will become more and more bright between the • two countries, until all the dissensions which ever ! -.listed between them shall have passed away, and I shall only live in history as a record of the folly of two people who could for a moment suppose it j>os- j sible to engage m a fratricidal war. (Loud cheers, i ! I thank you again for the cordial manner in which j you have responded to the proposal of my health, ! and I beg to assure you that I shall ever regard my residence in England as one of the brightest pc- | riods of my life. (Cheers.) From the Richmond Enquirer. Why Mr. Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Hill. The New Albany Tribune , the Fillmore organ in Indiana, says that Fillmore gave his official sane- j lion to the Fugitive Slave bill because “we could not j have got other laws on which our hearts were set, that we have got, had not that law been passed i also,” and because “in doing so he was but carry ing out one of the great principles of the party which elected him— that the personal opinions of I the executive on _ mere questions of policy, ought never to be brought into conflict with the will of the peoples' representatives, by an arbitrary oxer- j cise of the veto power - ” The Tribune also informs its readers that Mr. j Fillmore would just as readily sign bills restoring , the Missouri restriction, and repealing or amend ing the Fugitive Slave law. We have not the I slightest doubt but that the Tribune is correctly i informed upon the subject. That we may not be misunderstood, we frankly i confess that, for ourselves, we have no doubt in re- j gard to Mr. Fillmore’s position on the Kansas-Ne- '• braska act. Our conviction is equally clear and ! strong that lie would have opposed the repeal of j the Missouri restriction, and would have thrown ; the weight of his administration against the Kan- i sas-Nebraska act. And such is the positive and ; public assurance of his most confidential friend ! and zealous supporter- of the friend who secured j bis nomination, and who assumes, with reason, to j speak his sentiments. The writer of the following ; paragraph, from a recent issue of the New York j Repress, played a conspicuous pari in the Philadel- j phia Convention as the special champion of Mr. j Fillmore’s interests: “ No man can doubt, that the writer of this mes- i sage (Fillmore’s message to Congress in 1850) would, if in public life in 1854, have resisted the disturbance made of these Compromise bills bv Mr. Senator Douglas and Mr. President Pierce, both Northern men. No man can doubt that Mr. Fillmore thus regrets the annulment of the com pact of 1820, ana all the fearful sectional passions excited by it.” A man’s character is known from associations. Collamer, an influential member of the Fillmore Cabinet, and Conkling, a prominent official under the Fillmore Administration, are clamorous for the restoration of the Missouri restriction. No doubt they represent the opinions of the head of the bouse. * From the Washington Union. A Hint to F n reason abe Correspondents. ! Members of Congress are frequently annoyed by j correspondents making unreasonable requests for j public documents. A Senator lias sent to us a copy j of his reply to one of these calls; and as the hint j j it contains may save others from similar annoy- i auces, vve insert it, as follows : Senate Chamber, March 10, 1850. Dear Sir: Tour note of the sth inst. was duly j received ; and ignorant as I am of the subject of your inquiry—the death of Mr. , 1 have handed it to a friend, who will have the melan choly pleasure of giving you full particulars. The few books which you request me to send you—viz; Climatorv of the United States; United \ States Census, quarto ; Message Documents, quar i to; Baehe’s Coast Survey; Perry’s Japan; Ring- I gold's Expedition to China; Schoolcraft’s Indians, i Ac.; Lvnch’s Expedition to Africa; The Blue | Book; Map of Central America; The Constitu tion ; Gillis’s Astronomical Expedition; Pacific 1 Railroad Survey; Strain’s Darien Expedition; j | Grav's Survey; Lee’s Cruise in the Dolphin-; Jour- ; mil of the Senate and House of Representatives ; j Armv and Navy Registers; Foster and Whitney’s ■ Lake Superior, together with a variety of foreign i and domestic garden and flower seeds, and bulbs i i deeplv regret mv inability at this time to send 1 you, as the wants of my own State engross all that the law assigns to me ; but you may possibly re- I ccive them from your Senators —Gov. Fish or Gov. i Seward to whom 1 have presented your name | a nd address as a constituent in search of public i documents. 1 have taken the liberty of suggesting lo them I several other books and papers, which, I think, did ■ jmt occur to vou in forming your briet catalogue, ; viz - The Rules of the two Houses of Congress; McComb on the Lakes; Maury’s Sailing Directions; 1 Douglass oil Hot-house Plants; Reports on Big : Sod us and Little Sodus; Long’s Report on Snag boats and the reports on the Atmospheric Tele : graph and on Sugar making ; on Coal, both Cum berland and Anthracite; on the Western Waters ; 1 on Finance, and Fortifications, and the correspon dence on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, together with some other volumes, without which, I think, t»ur | library would not be complete. Should vour Senators neglect to send them to you, permit me to suggest that Messrs.

Jurisdiction ol Justices Courts. ■ We have been furnished with a certified copv of j law of the last Legislature, raising the jurisllic j tion of Justices of the Peace in civil suits. The ; Act will be interesting, we presume, to our readers ! generally, and especially to that portion of the of | fleers of the judiciary department, whose duty it : will be to attend more particularly to the altera i tions which it makes. Here is the Act; HA ACT to raise the jurisdiction of Justices of Q^e Peace. Sec. 1. Be it enacted, d-c., That from and after the first day of March next, the jurisdiction of J us tices of the Peace shall extend to the amount of j fifty dollars principal, with interest. Sec. 2. That it shall and may be lawful for all I promissory notes, accounts, and all other evidence of debts that do not exceed fifty dollars, to be sued before a Justice of the Peace in a Justice Court, in the same manner as is now prescribed by law, and when any person shall be sued in a Justice Court ! on a sum that exceeds thirty dollars and a judg ! ment obtained against the party defendant, the de j fendant within four days after "the adjournment of | said Court upon paying all cost, that, may have ac | crued, and giving good and sufficient security for j principal and interest involved in the case, shall have the right to stay the execution sixty days, and on al! judgments obtained in a Justice Court where the amount is thirty dollars or under, the stay of execution shall be the same time as is now pre scribed by law.

Wofford, of our village, brings out the startling fact, after all that has been done bv the ladies of the South, and the greater labor and means they are still willing ! to bestow upon the movement, that Mount Vernon lis not for sale. How is this? What is the expla ! nation? At the instance of the Ladies’ Mount ! j Vernon Association at Richmond, Edward Everett ! i delivered his great oration on Washington in the capital of Virginia, realizing for the funds of the organization over #BOO, and tis to be repeated at various points in Virginia and elsewhere, for the same purpose. In addition, stimulated bv the ad vent of Everett in the Old Dominion, the Legisla ture Virginia passed a bill incorporating the La dies’ Mount Vernon Association of the Union; and yet patriotic ladies, ready and able to stimu late the sacred purpose, are told “that Mount Ver non is »ot for sale.’’ Mount Vernon, March 14th, 1856. To Mrs. Maria S. Wofford: Madam—l have received your letter of March 6th, respecting the purchase" of Mount Vernon by the ladies of different parts of the United States. " In reply, I respectfully inform you that Mount Vernon is not for sale. I am, most respectfully, vourob’t serv’t, John A. Washington. The Galveston News, of the 22d, furnishes the fol lowing intelligence: The Sau Antonio Herald, of the 15th inst., learns from Mr. J. S. Brown, who lives at the Fredericksburg crossing of the Gaudalupe, that a lieutenant from Fort Mason, with a party of twenty dragoons had a fight with twenty Indians, on the Gaudalupe, about forty miles above his place. The troops were following a trail and came upon the Indians where they were encamped, before either party was aware of the close proximity of the oth er. The lieutenant ordered his men to dismount, and leaving nearly one-half to guard the horses, charged the Indians with the others. Three In- j dians were killed and several wounded. They were so taken by surprise, that tliev made little or no residence, hid fled to the mountains, leaving j their horses, bows, arrows, shields, booty and camp equipage behind. Among the horses‘taken, i ( was one fine hay American horse, in good order, | and a dun stallion. Five or six six-shooters, sev- j eral rifles and shot guns were among the captured j articles. Among their blankets and camp equip age was found a large number of papers, among which was a note for A* 1000 sterling, a deed for three hundred and twenty acres of land, with #IOOO ; paid thereon, dated in February last, arid a blank ; hook containing the owner’s name, and the date of 1 his leaving a town on the Mississippi. Mr. Brown 1 did not recollect the name.) The lieutenant, ' 1 (whose name our informant did not learn.) will ! ; make out and forward to this city, the full partic ulars of the articles recovered. The Indians were believed to he Lipans. The papers were evidently ‘ those taken from Mr. Hill’s. The citizens of Medina county have resolved to 1 organize a company of minute' men, for the pro tection against the Indians. Counterfeit. —We have been shown a SSO bill, : counterfeit, Bank of Tennessee, payable at Athens, ! Win. Ledbetter, Pres’t, Jas. Morton, Cashier, letter | A, August 1, 1853. The engraving generally is good, and well calculated to deceive. The conn- I terfeit is sin i ter than the genuine. In the “coat of arms,” left hand end, the engraving is coarser and j the parallels too distinct. The letter A, in the i word “agriculture,” fails to appear at all in the j counterfeit. The President’s name is not a good , imitation, and that of the Cashier is too light. 1 There arc counterfeit fifty’s on the same Bank, al- j tered from ten’s, in circulation, but this is an cn- j tirely different affair. Athens ( Term .) Post, March 28. ( Martin Koszta. The Han Antonio Reportr learns that Martin Koszta has purchased a farm i on the Medina, for which he paid $9,000. On this j the American Celt says: “As this notorious indi- j vidua! was, two years ago, represented in a starv- - iug condition, we must suppose that his patriotism ! has found rather a profitable market.” That mar- i ket, Mr. Celt, was a rich widow of this city, who j captured him, and there was no Ingraham to rush : to the rescue. —Chicago Democrat, March 24. Manslaughter.—The case of Hornsey, for the killing of Randall, came up this week, and was pronounced manslaughter. He is sentenced for eleven months imprisonment for the first offence, (the killing of Foreman ) and to pay a line of three hundred dollars—for killing Randall, he is to be imprisoned one month and pay a line of one hun dred dollars. — Barnwell Sentinel, March 29. The Foreign Enlistment Question. —Yesterday, the 27th ult., in the LJ. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Mr. McKeon, U. S. District Attorney, moved a nolle prosequi in ilie case of all persons indicted for a violation of the law of the United States relative to foreign enlist ments, except only those holding an official con nection with the British government. The writ was granted accordingly, and the prosecutions arc discontinued. The reason for this course is briefly this, that the question is no longer between the United States government and the individuals in dicted, but between the American and British gov- j ernments —the latter having virtually acknowledged the acts complained of, as its own. Journal of Commerce. Cursing Association. Tiie Okalona (Miss.) Bern suggests the organi zation in that place of a “Cursing Association,” for the purpose of building a fence around a grave yard. “The power of profanity,” remarks the ed itor, “which runs to waste in the streets is enor mous. Let. every member of the Association, whenever he utters an oath, be obliged to give a paling, and whenever be curses, let him contribute a rail to make a fence around the graveyard. We are well aware that the Bible forbids to render ‘railing for railing,’ but we are sure it has no ap plication to such eases as the present. We do not know the amount requisite to enclose our cem etery, but it is amply within the means of the pro posed Association. There were sixty-one votes polled at the late election ; some few of the voters of our village do not swear, but there are usually a number of accomplished swearers in town not vet entitled to a rote, and many of our boys can bold a hand with any of their seniors. All things considered, we think the income of the Associa tion might be estimated at half a dozen palings a dav from fifty regular contributors, which would j pale fifty yards a day. A few court days would I supply all the rails, and the Sunday cursing could be set apart as a fund for posts. The little boys might find the nails, and after the paling was com pleted, the villagers, who affect such phrases, “ Darn my skin,” “By the great Mogul,” Ac., could whitewash it.” This is a capital suggestion, and there are many other places beside Okalona where the organiza tion of a Cursing Association for some useful ob ject, would prove one of the easiest and most effi cient inodes ever adopted for raising a largo rev enue. The vast amount of cursing power that now runs to waste is enough to overcome every econom ical mind with a settled melancholy. Cursing was for a time practised principally in military and na- j vv circles, but it has now become as common and I cheap as dirt. Every loafer keeps a supply of the article, and little boys damn each other’s eyes and i souls with as much vim as if they had the power ' to execute the sentences which they pronounce. I The great originality and wit required for cursing, j naturally gives their possessor an exalted standing in the opinion of both of his fellow men and him self. Every man who can bring in the name of ! the Almighty upon the slightest occasion, is natu j rally regarded as a follow of infinite humor. Such a luxury ought not to be enjoyed without paying ; lor it, and hence the value of the suggestion of j the Okalona Keivs. — Richmond Dispatch. j Boston. March 27, —The schooner Maria E. i Hinith, which was seized in this harbor last sum i nie r on suspicion of being a slaver, and finally re ■ leased and sailed for Montevideo, has been captur i e d and carried into Bahai, having attempted to j land four hundred and twenty negroes brought from \fries. She embarked five hundred on the coast, but eighty died on the passage. There are six thousand four hundred and ninety nine persons in the New York almshouse institu tion. ! I’. T. Barntm, Esq.— A private letter from Mr ; Baknom, to a gentleman in Boston, concludes as ' . follows : j “ I have no inducements to struggle again to ac quire wealth ; for the enormous debts against me | on account of the clock company will overshadow ! m <r t 0 th ? B rav ' e - I have paid aild secured all j private debts.” i All the world do not go to shooting galleries but many visiting them have seen ti contrivance by which, when the bull’s eye is hit, a spring is touched, which acting upon machinery throws out a human figure, in the most horrible contor tions as if pierced by a bullet. A gentleman of this city, who is a pistol shot, was invited when in New York, into a shooting gallery having this contrivance, which he had never seen or heard of. The first shot struck the centre, touched the spring, and out sprung a man, who fell as our friend supposed, shot through the heart. He fainted, and upon coming to himself, found a crowd standing around him, admiring the effect of the joke, and also of a large basin of water which had been thrown upon him, in which the shooting gentlemen had washed their hands the sable streams of which were running over his face and linen. He left. Looking out for Lost Sheep.—The preacher of the Methodist Church was travelling in one of the back settlements, and stopped at a cabin, where an old lady received him very kindly. After setting provisions before him, she began to question him": “Stranger where mought you be from ?” “Madam, I reside in Shelby county, Kentucky.” “Wall, stranger, hope no offence, but what mought you be doin’ way up here V” “Madam, lam searching for the lost sheep of Israel.” “John, John, shouted the old lady, “come rite here this minit; here’s a stranger all the way from Shelby county, Kentucky, a hunting stock, and I’ll just bet my life that that old tangled-haired black ram, that’s bin in our lot all last week, is one of liis’n.” John C.

FARRELL'S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT IS well known to possess the most wonderfully healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and by its promptness in effecting cures, which previously had resisted all other medicines, ad ministered by the most scientific physicians, has placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in trodneed to the people of the United States. It .stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pens troh* to the how*, adding strength and activity to the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allay* ntrrou* irritation, producing a delightfully pleasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purities and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy cure. This Liniment front its penetrating and strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and diseased joints, and in fact till complaints invol ving the muscular system, ft has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing, and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally without use or feeling. For Children with Croup it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest it never fails to give relief in the severe Cough* at tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals wounds speedily —will cure Sealdhead, Mange, etc. Planters and Farmers will find if a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweeney, Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. Look out for Counterfeits ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when tlie spurious mixture lias wrought its evil effects.
