The proprietor of the Plaip, Dealer, Fort Madison, lowa, Mr. th. Hr'Duffns, writes: “Two years ago I wasjtired of rheumatism in my knee by S£.

Rhode Island was the last of the original thirteen States to ratify the national Constitution, and it was only upon the passage of a bill by the national Senate prohibiting commerce with the recreant State that Little Rhody at length gave in her adherence, thus completing again the union of the thirteen. This was accomplished in 1790.
