The people of the country ought to know, that in many cases, that the cholera is so ra

They "should like-wise
know, that a diarrhxxa, in uhich the discharges

Americans might as well be without teeth as for all the good they get of them; but they should, like neat cattle, be able to chew their cud.

Arc., the following results relative to the election ! keld on Monday last. We do not vouch for its cor

Wm. Cason, Recorder.
Rush. Willet and Rigger, Representatives
Greksbvrv Rush, Sheriff.
Marion & Hamilton. Henry Br adt was elec-

The soberly and orderly manner in which the
'"'tirGns who aLLcndetl tK Wiion on Monday lasti
in 'his place.conducted themselves .could not but be
remarked by all who were present. In due season &ey all departed for home, and at 6 o'clock in the

OBITUARY. Another Revolutionary Hero gone ! On the night of the 2Sth ult. about 10 o'
clock, departed th:s life, in the 81th year of his
age, Col. Zebulon tike. va1. rike served in
the army of the revolution as a captain of
dragoons,as a captain of infantry in est. Clair s defeat, and in Wayne's victory. He,howev-
er,having expressed a wish to be buried with the honors of Masonry, of which fraternity he was a worthy member: and it having been
rendered imposible, from the heat of the
weather, and other fortuitous circumstances,
at the time of bis decease, to give any kind of
reasonable notice of the wish, the lodgeof
hich he was a member, (Lawrenceburgh
odge, No. 4.) have concluded to meet at his
ate residence, on Thursday the 14 instant, at
2 o clock, M. at which time a sermon will be
preached, and an eulogy delivered on the
merits of the deceased, by a much more com
petent hand than the writer of this; and a pro
cession will take place in the usual Masonic
form. All Masons in good standing, who can
conveniently attend, are requested to do so;
as also all other of his- fellow-citizens. The
eulogy will be published, and therefore the
writer of this forbears all further comment, except to say, that he has known Col. Pike for
forty-three years, has been intimate with him for 35 years of that period and that if there
ever lived a genuine Patriot, a brave soldier,
and an honest man, that man was Col. Zebu

time, and hew every mouthful fine, and mix
it with sa'iva, and he will receive no injury.
So entirely hurried on in business, and to
get tac better of each other, and so complete
ly carried away in their own conceit of know
ing evefy thing that ever has or can be known,
have we Americans arrived to, that no people have strayed so far from common reason, common sense, and their own common good. We have drawn ourselves so far from right, that
no one can know or judge what may be done to-day, wil aid in the welfare or destruction, of one or more of us to-morrow, or go on and overtake posterity with every miserv. CHARLES LARRABEE.

Mason, has invented an Aerial Steamboat, m
which he proposed to ascend on the 4th inst
The boat is thus described: "It is about'ten feet long; the ribs being covered with silk,in
order to render it very light. The engine of
two horse power, is placed in the middle, and
turns four vertical shafts projecting over the
bow and sfcrti, into each of which are fixed
four spiral silken wings, which are made to re

The whole boat,including the engine,weighes
90 pounds, & has cost about $300.
