WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1951. One of the Press Gang. We had a polite call on yesterday from our cotemporary, C. F. Clarksoo, Esq., Editor of the Brookville American Mr. Clarkson is in fine health, having entirely recovered from his temporary attack ef the hypoeondria occasioned by the election of John L. Robinson. He looks as if many hard years of hard labor were in store for him. May Heaven direct Lis energies and give strength to his vigorous mind for the advocacy of some other cause, than the waning prospects of modern whig wy Bellefoutame Depot. The main bnilding at the Bellefoutame Depot is up to the square ready for the roof. It is built of brick 376 feet long by 60 feet in width, for a double track inside The office building is 55 by 30 feet, two stories hig 1 projecting into the platform far enough to give a full view of the inside of the whole building from the lower windows. There is to be no track in front of the build, mg. The building is located in the centre of a five acre block of the Company in the northeast part of the city, and fronts a street 100 feet wide. The ground is high. The building presents a fine appearance from the diago. nal. We learn that the machine shop, 200 by 100 feet, f brick, will be erected next season, on the west end of the ground, preparatory to building the machinery of the road. This mnst tend to building np the northeastern part of city with residence of mechanics, and buildings connected with the railroad. So progresses the Capital. I?Hn Stephen A. Donglas senator from Illinois, arrived in Washington on the 9th inst. He has purchased the Mansion House, and grounds of the late Sam ael Burehe where he will reside, with bis family and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Martin of North Carolina dnring the session of Congress. Hunting up Excuses. Oar neighbor of the Indiana Journal is already hunting up excuses for the anticipated defeat in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In his daily of yesterday he says : "The election in Ohio and Pennsylvania takes place to-day. We shall bear from some portions of those States in time for oar paper to-morrow. There will not he a fall vote in either State, and a consequent Whi? defeat. It is only when aP residential election brings all the Whigs oat, that we succeed. Whatever may be the result in those States to-day, the old Hero of an hundred battle-fields will carry them next fall." Who is the Hero of an hundred battle-fields 9 He taust be a great fighter. 2 James McHatten, formerly a resident of this city. now the lessee of the Louisiana penitentiary at Baton Rouge, La., and Arnold Lashly, his brother-in-law, were both badly scalded by tha explosion of the steamer Tames Jaokson, near Shawneetown, 111.

Among the patents granted for tbe week ending Oct. 7, we notice the following: William Scott, Rising Sun, Ind for improvement in revolving boilers Orion Thornley, Lebanon, lad., for improvement in machine for cutting screws on posts and rails of bedheads. ELucian Clements, a mail contractor in Vermont, las keen arrested at Montpelier. charged with extensive mall robberies.

English Interference in the Affairs of tuba. Wc copy the following article from the Washington Republic which may be regarned as th views of the administration on this important question. CUBA AND ENGLAND.

We laid before our readers yesterday an article from the London Time on the Cuban question, that they v? ts nppienenu mat tue im is inuuifnng au iu-:ouii I dl solicitude. The American Government i tbon dantly able to execute its laws, and to punish their infraction. Tbe government of SrAiN can protect its own possessions without foreign aid ; and we presume will hardly entertain the project of plaoing the province of Cuba under the guardianship of Great Britain. When Lord Harcourt, in 1794, offered to Ireland tbe services of four thousand foreign troops, in room of a greater number that had been draught to America, the Parliament of Ireland declared that they would " ac cept of no foreign help, as they felt competent to defend thomselves, or if not that they were not worth defending;" and this too at a time when the fleets of France and Spain were in possession of tbe channel . If the Spanish government cannot maintain itself in Cuba without foreign assistance, we apprehend that Ccba is not worth defending ; for there is nothing more certain than that the interference of any European nation in this matter will lead to inevitable collisions which may disturb tha peace of the world. Wc sustain in alt cases the laws of the United States, the expression of the will of the American people. We desire to see them enforced at all hazards and to the last extremity, whether on Northern abolitionists or Southern Filibusters in their spirit, to the letter with all tbe power of tbe country. There oan be no such thing as a government where there is an absence of tbe power to enforce tbe law. We consider, therefore, that all combinations to resist the law, on whatever pretence, should be met at once with the whole force of the Government, and that the issue should be made, in every case which admits of it, whether we are living under laws or in a state of anarchy. In this we feel that we are sustained by tbe good sense and the patriotic attachments of a large majority of the American people. Therefore it is that we would, under all ciroumstances, maintain to the letter the neutrality law of 1818 It is essential to our position among tbe nations of the world that we should maintain it in good faith. Our Government will protect Ccba to the extent of its power from all invasions from this country. But a very different question is presented when European nations propose to intervene, and Id protect Ccba from the consequences ef aliened illegitimate interference. If the Spanish government cannot raaintein itself in Ccba without foreign intervention, it would seem that the time had come when it ought to relinquish its dominion; for this kind of intervention can be prosecuted onlv under circumstances that will materially affect the rights, interests, and relations of third parties. The time has gone by we apprehend for the it terferenc-e of Great Britain, or any other Luropoan power, in the aflairs ot this continent, beyond the limits of its own colonial dependencies, in the expeo tation of accomplishing any practically useful result. We are well persuaded that European nations for the future will be much better occupied in attending to the affairs of their own continent than in intermeddling with ours. In throwing ou these views we are speaking the universal sentiment of the American people; and we warn the Time, and al' whom it represents, that the first show of British intervention in Cuban aflairs will be the signal for a movement that neither Cuba, nor Great Bbitain, nor all the European powers combined can resist; for on this point the mind of the American people is made up, and their will in this respect will give the law to American policy and conduct. There is no disposition on the part of the large majority of the American tinnl for tnn rnnniist rtf PniA or liAr fornihlA nn. nexation to the Uvrrrn States and the onlv security I for Ccba is in the protection of the Government of the United States, and the absence of all foreign interfer- J anee ; : The Cbeoit System. The present demand for money and the embarrassments which grow out of it, should teach people the importance of contracting their credits as much as possible. There is, perhaps, no custom more injurious to the community than credits, especially long ones, in tbe daily transactions of life. In most cases they are more the result of custom and habit than necessity. Many of the mortgages now existing upon both real estate and personal property had their foundation in credits obtained at the stores and mechanic shops. Formerly it existed to a great extent. Long credits and large profits are inseperable. The man who settles up his small accounts as tie contracts them oan hold np his head without fear of having it knocked to pieces by ruaning against a creditor. Besides he contributes nothing to the support of lawyers and she-iffs who live and thrive at the expense of the community. Nothing does more to support drones than the credit sv em. Lawyers, note-shavers money-loaners, sheriffs i in. idlers, who never pay their debts, live upon it. It fe ds and supports botli extremes of society. But as injurioes as is the system it is indispensable in many cases in the transaction of business. In small matters of daily transaction its abolition would prove of inestimable benefit. The community thrives best which has the least of it. Newport (II. H.) Argus. March or Intellect. Extract of a letter from a newly married lady who had finished her eduoation at a fashionable boarding school. It was written to an old school mate: "I was married ten weeks ago. Me and my dear husband has moved into the country, two miles from an nous. We have no market to go to, but have to buy in oar provision by the barl. My farnicbere is much finer i than tbe most ot my nabors. My husband and me agrees very well as yet we have had no quarrel, and in most things he thinks as t do. I allow I done well in marring, lor we are muchuaüy happy. Him and me could live forever together, and neither give the other a misbeholden word, etc- H. W. ' P. S. I have not looked into a book since my wedding day. My husband is tbe wnolo world to me. If I can pleas him nothing else shall trouble me. "What times we used to have at Mrs. R 's boarding school! Such labor as studying Latin and losrio, and algebry , and music I I never could see the use of it. ' I edvice you to get oat of your single blessedness as soon as yon can. How frightful old maids is! Write me as the first opportunity." if Tbe New Orleans Picayune of the 19th gives the following account if a honeymoon and its results: "Dorothea Walker was yesterday charged by her husband, Adolphe Walker, who lives at No. 115 St. PeUr street, with having, daring a four week's marriage, quarrelled with him, threatened his life burnt him with a hot iron, stabbed him in the cheek ana beat and kicked him. A warrant was issued. If the law don't take hold of this woman, then there are no snakes." Salt. Since the oity ot Syrac.st has repudiated the constitution, and cast off its allegiance to the Union, of oonrse it can no longer claim to enjoy their benefits , and accordingly, tbe New York Express suggests, that, inasmuch as that city lives on the manufacture and sale of salt under tbe protection of an advolarem duty of twenty per cent imposed by Congress on loreigri salt, the duty should now be taken on. l tie tarmers ot me Northern, Southern and Western counties, bold up both bands for that. They have long been in favor also of a repeal of tbe diseriminating canal tolls imposed oa foreign salt.

THIiMDAT EVENING, OCTOBER t, 1R31.

P3Tbe Putnam County Sentinel, a sort of piratical Journal sailing under false colors, complaii the! we refuse to exchange with it. We Inure on onr exchange list every Democratic, Whig, or neutral Journal in Iidiana, that has treated us with only a tolerable degree of respect; but when editors so far forget thomsehes as to descend to low and vulgar personal attacks, we inva. riably strike their papers from our exchange list. That list is already toolarge, and pecuniarily such kind of abuse as the Oreencastle Sentinel heaj.s re m is of advantage. We are too old, loo well known, kam been too long identified with the political history of Indiana, to be injured by empty words. If it give jof any gratification, Mr. Sentinel Oreencastle. Brown, to abuse us, continue on, but we give you and all others aatJti that we don't mean to pay for that abuse! D"The first quarter under the new postal rates, eh Bed on the 30th of September. For the quarter ending June 30th, uuder the old rates, tho cash receipts of the Cin cinnati Post Office were $21, Mi. Under the new, for the quarter just closed, tha receipts are $10,437. Showing a falling off of one-half in the receipt" under tbe new system. The amount of matter mailed has been materially increased, as well as the labor requisite fnt Us transmission. The ratio of matter pre-paid is materially increased during this quarter. Yet with thee facts staring us in the face, we bear the cry for further reduction. We shall not be surprised if the present fiscal year shows a deficiency of two millions ; and the expenses of the department must necessarily be inerea-.' Got. Wrights Address We commence to-day the publication of Gov. Wright's Address delivered at the recent Agricultural Fair in Wayne County. It will be read with much interest. The Wayne County Whig speaking rf this production says. It was full of noble and practical sentiment w, nod did honor to to the head and the heart to the popular and worthy Executive of State. One remark Qg his in regard to the conservative influence of Count . . State and National Fairs, struck us with much force. He said that if the people of the United States should annti ally, or at periodical times, meet in a great National Fair, where the citizens of the several State would, on one corarion platform, mingle together and exhibit their various products of Art and Agriculture, it wonld do more to silence sectional jars, put down the cry of disunion. and make us one people, than anything else. Suet, a friendlv interchange of rnnent such a noble rivalry would, he said, beget such a feeling of brotherhood as would soon cause us as a Nation, to forget those hateful phrases " Northern and Southern Rights." As this excellent Address will be published, we will not attempt to ive even an outline of it . Ohio Elections. Wc yesterday famished enouijh return from O' no to show that it had gone Democratic. The Indiana Journal say : " telegraphic dispatch from Dayton inform m that nothing satisfactory in relation to the Ohio election had ben received up to two o'clock to-day." Nothing satisfactory.'' We presume it will be some time before Mr. Defrees hears anything saisfactorv either from Ohio or Pennsylvania. Laporte. We understand that a new Democratic paper is to be published in Laporte county under the Editorial control of Major W. W. McCoy. :or McCov is a sound cot We are glad to hear it. Ma- '. ior McCoy is a sound consistent and able national Dem ocrat, and his paper will exhibit a wide contrast, with the Gothen Democrat, the Michigan City New, Valparaiso Obetrrer and other anti-compromise Journals in Northern Indiana. ITlt seems however to be the policy of tbe Cass men, from Bill Brown down, to denounce every man as a Free Soilcr who opposes the nomination of their favor uo Indiana Statesman. Not so. We denounce those as tree soilers who oppose the compromise measures, advocate the repeal of the fugitive slave law. and oppose tbe execution of that law by declaring that in " Indiana it will remain a dead letter on the statute book.' ITBro. Defrees, what has become of the Whig State Central Committed Is the Convention to be postponed till summer, or has the committee declined calling any at all? Lafayette Journal. They have concluded to support the democratic ticket. A bad symptom. Temperance. The Temperance Chart says that 350 confirmed drunkards signed the pledge at the Temperance campmeeting, recently held at Crawfordsville. JTTbe Red Land Herald, Texas, hoists tha name of Gen. Sara. Houston as a candidate for the Presidency. 0Jack Hays the distinguished Texan Indian tighter, has been re-elected Sheriff ol San Francisco, California, and Ben. McCullough the celebrated partisan chief has been elected to the same office in Sacramento .Tnm the Terre Haute Journal. Protection. The old issae of the protective policy is about to be revived. Great stress is laid, by tbe advocates of pro. tection, upon tbe fact that for tbe last year the balance of trade has been against us. The large shipments ol specie from this country to Europe, to meet the balance of our importations over our exports have operated to produce a stringency in tbe money market ; and several heavy failures have already occurred. The remedy suggested ior this state of things is the adoption of so high a rate of protective duties as shall check importation and thus restore the balance of trade. Now this balance against us is the result of the unusually large importation of railroad iron from England ; and the proposed remedial measure, to be effectual, should be applied to the source of tke evil complained of. The result of the measure would be tbe sadden arrest of railroad enterprise in this country ; inasmuch as, for tbe reasons we recently mentioned, the iron cannot be manufactured in this country for the prices which the foteigh article costs, delivered here, la not the remedy worse than the disease? Can our people contemplate without dismay the disastrous consequences which mint ensne from the failure of tbe Railroads now under construction in every part of the country? The bankruptcy and ruin which would follow from the latter event would be incompara bly greater than anv we are now called upon to contemplate. The fact that the balance of trade is now against ns, is purely accidental. Had the foreign market for American bread-stuffs and provisions been as good for tbe last year as during those preceding, tha vast surplus, which has been retained on hand, would have supplied tbe vacuum and would have made our exports equal to the last year's imports. An advance in the price of our agricultural products now, would speedily cause specie to flow back towards this country. Had we been under the money rule of tbe United States Bank, sueh an expansion of tbe currency as we have often witnessed would have drained the country of tbe precious metals to an amount far greater, instead of a less amouat as now, than that of the gold brought from California. To the influence of the Independent Treasury, in checking the tendency to expansion of the currency , we are main ly indebted for the fact that the present pressure is so slight. If the advocates of high protective duties will exercise a little patience they will find that the country will pass through the present crisis, if crisis it can be called, with far leas injury to her substantial interests than if their ruinous policy ware adopted.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 181.

Ohio Elections. The returns from this State are very meagre, but enough has been received to show that the Democrats have achieved a glorious triumph . Wood, Democrat, is probably elected Governor by from fifteen to twenty thousand majority, and the Legislature is largely Democratic. e Franklin 160 majority for Wood, whole Democratic ticket elected. Shelby Democratic ticket elected Ashtabula 90 majority for Vintoa. Erie Wood 135 majority. Logan Vinton 650 majority Greene Vintori 500 majority. Madison Vinton 600 majority. Coshocton Wood 450 majority. Pickaway Small majority for Wood Fairfield Wood 1,500 majority Licking Wood 700 majority. Clinton Vinton 400 majority. Defiance Wood 300 majority. Muskingum Vinton 500 majority. Stark Wood 380 majority. Hamilton Wood 3,000 majority. Preble Vinton 500 majority. Washington Vinton 200 majority Geauga Vinton 26 majority. Scioto Vinton 393 majority Marion Wood 260 majority. Champaign Vinton 267 majority. Belmont Whig from 100 to 300. H7We are now crowded with election news and other important matters. We cannot, therefore, notice the .louse of the Madison Courier. It is an old maxim that it ia better to have the good will of a dog than the ill will. This adage, however, applies to the pure blood of the canine race, and not to the mongrel species like Garber, who is now laboring under a severe fit of hvdraphobia. We are glad to know that he hates us as his master the devil, hates everything that is pure and !holy. Fastened on to Gov. Wright like a horse-leech, he thus shields himself from merited chastisement, bv charging every one who exposes bis treachery with attacking the popular Governor of Indiana. 'Tbe Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance : commenced its session in this city on Tuesday last. It adjourned on yesterday evening. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected on Wednesday and ordained on Thursday: Grand Worthy Patriarch T. A. Goodwin, of Evans. ville. Grand Worthy Associate E. P. Loveland, of Peru. Grand Scribe Chas. Woodward, of Indianapolis. Grand Treasurer Jas. Hall, of Indianapolis. Grand Chaplain A. H. Myers, of Indianapolis. Gran! Conductor R. T. Brown, of Crawfordsville. Grand -Sentinel Theophilus Robinson, of Ctica. Indiana Central Railway. The contracts for grading and bridging this road from Indianapolis to Greenfield have been let, (except four sections,) on the most favorable terms. The whole line, a distance of twenty miles, costing but little over one thousand dollars a mile, and the contractors are to receive in pay two-thirds of the amount in the stock of the corapa- ' ny. Win. Sullivan, Esq., and Isaac B. Sandusky of this county, have been elected Directors. Tbe Directors are now confident that this line can be completed by the spring of 1853, which will make a continuous line of Railway from Terre Haute east to Columbus, Ohio, oonnectlng at Springfbld with the Sandusky aud at Columbus with the Cleveland and Pittsburgh lines, with branches diverging from Eaton and Dayton to Cincinnati. 17' Tht Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Company have contracted with Jesse Timanus of this city, to build a bridge across tha Big Miami, about or.e thousand yards from its junction with the Ohio. One hundred men were placed upon the work yesterday. Cm. Uaz. We congratulate the friends of tho direct connection with Cincinnati by the Lawrenceburgh Railroad, on the above decisive commencement of the Railroad between Cincinnati and Lawrenceburgh, being the heaviest part of the work. The object of placing so large a force at once is to get the foundation of the bridge across the Miami commenced this fall, with a view of driving the rest of tbe line through rapidly, and thus it is made certain that by tha time the road is completed from here to Lawrenceburgh, tba road from there to Cincinnati will be ready. This route will then be evidently a general receiver tor the Wabash and Cincinnati trade, as the I Terre Haute, Lafayette and Peru roads will be in fid! operation. The cars will pass from either of these : points to Cincinnati in six hours, and it cannot be b& hat the trains will be constantly filled with passenger. and that the freight will be very heavy. Home Manufacturing. The Economist, published at the manufacturing village of Cannelton, in this State, says: There is not an intelligent and honest Boston merchant who will not now admit that we have, in transportation of coarse cotton sheetings, an advantage over any New England mill that makes goods for this market of over one cent a yard. This is fully equal to fifteen per cent, on capital invested. Such being the facts, how r perfectly preposterous it is to contend that we shall not manufacture our cotton domestics at home. Georgia.

(CorrMpoud tuet ot tte Indiana Sim SotiBtl Wild Cat and His Policy. BT CORA MONTGOMERY Eaqus Pass, (Texas,) 8ept. 7, 1851. Wild Cat, the Seminole Chief, is decidedly the leading character in our precincts. He is an historical personage and may leave behind him still deeper tracks than heretofore in the bloody annals of our border warfare. It is entirely in the power of our government to make him an instrument for good or evil service, for his

' restless ambition and versatile talents must be employed anu in bis late and plans tbere is now a pause for breau. and decision which a bold, prompt policy would not fail to seize and turn to the right account. Shall this untamed tiger of the deser; make his spring on cs or on the savage tribes? They are bis enemies as they are ours, and if we but give him easy scope and encourage ment enough, he will bound on them teeth and olaws His pride of rule and his savage fame are the breath of his nostrils, he lives bnt to win command, and would freely die to have it said in his death chant . that he was the highest chief of a hundred tribes. If the whites will open to him a pathway to renown by sending him against the hostile tribes, he will do their work better than half a doxen regiments. If they shut the door upon him, then he will continue his plans of combination, vnd strive to pour out upon this border a fiery torrent of desolation. Eagle Pass nestles safely in its nook and has leas to fear than the richer settlements that spur out and fringe the ede of the cultivated country, bat bowbere are flocks and herds secure ia an open district of one hundred and fifty miles wide by fifteen hundred Iocs on this frontier. Yet, Wild Cat" with a regiment ot dragoons and a company or two of mounted Texan riflemen, would sweep this region clean in a year, and leave it as dainty and secure as the Capitol grounds Rating a family at the value of a Washington drayhorse it would be economy to supply this force, and save a few hundred settlers from death and captivity. A few days since Wild Cat unexpectedly drew bridle at oar door, attended only by his interpreters and servant a small confidential train for a chief who delights to rid forth with a strong display of armed warriors and captive servants. It was a quiet business call, full of meaning, and bearing as directly as that chief ever shows his hand on the great plan of his life. In order to lecorae the foremost man of the Rd Race, it is as necessary to chastise and subdue the refractory, as it is to win over and combine the willing tribes. ' He has lately returned from one of hia long inexplicable trips, and looks thin and care-worn. His dress was plain and travel-soiled, and altogether there was something stern and unsatisfied in his air. He wore a shirt of blue (mated cotton, and overalls of dark dressed deer.skin ringed down the seams. At the first glance he might have passed for a border hunter, attired for a long expedition, but a nearer scrutiny revealed many little Indian peculiarities. A silver crescent -shaped medal de orated his breast, and a collar of bead.work encircled his neck. All tbe party wore gay-colored handkerchiefs rreat tied around their heads in a style that would be legitimately correct on the brow of an Arab, and strange to say, one of his interpreters is an Arab. Tbe other ia a negro, whose immediate parents were African. By a curious coincidence, the three races, so hardly pressed by the relentless all-grasping whitps) were confronted with one of the conquering race, and on a mission that indirectly avouched his supremacy. Plundered Asia, enslaved Africa, and martyred America, were each represented in blood, character and suffering by a Jinea! son, and to make the meeting as complete as it was singular, the fourth man of this extraordinary convocation, was of that haughty Franco-Norman stock which for a thousand years he.s filled the thrones of Europe, and written its laws with tbe swords' point on every land into which it has cast its usurping hordes. The theme that occupied these fonr men thus strangely brought together in this far-away district so lately wrested from another nation, enclosed in each pithy sentence the career of these races. They were occupied in making yet more solid and incontestable the pride and dominion of the overweening white race. The African, true to the records of three thousand years, was pliant, docile, thoughtless of race or nationality, and only intent to laugh out his day and serve his chief in the way he is best pleased to be served, yet no coward witbal, and as genial and cenerons as he is care less of the future. George Leppard that bright, prophetic, ill-understood son of genius once said that in the life and growth of races, tbe African was still au undeveloped infant, and had its oareer still before It, while the Red Race h.id perhaps rounded its zenith aad was hastening in the fullness of ages on its downward course to the grave. Certainly the hoping, joyous, trustfulness of the child is as general a character of tbe lighthearted African as the absence of this trait of youth ia a strong peculiarity of the sad and stoical Indian. Tbe Arab, or as they called him. Malay Moor, had the old, stately self-poised mein of bis people, and manifested a less lively interest than the African in the chief plans and talk, but he too fiDds action and pastime in war, and if ba is as ready to follow Wiid Cat in a foray against a Red American as a Whiteone, it is because neither of them are of his kindred. He was entrapped on board a Spanish trader and sold into slavery at Havana, but he escaped into Florida after a time," and became an adopted child of Wild Cat's tribe. Like John, the Afncan, ha has drank of the chief's cup, and shared his tent, and wherever be leads they follow without question, for he is to them home, country and faith. Bnt what of the chief himself ? What is to be the destiny of thi active and redoubtable fragment of an exiled and expiring people? He is hopeless of the shattered, discerdant, unpliant Red race, if they were capable of uniting for a nobler destiny, be would live for, work for, die for the glories of their ancient traditions, bnt as they are not. he is ready to blot ont the degenerate tribes and lean upon the power and aliance of the whites lor the safety of tb remnant. To do this he has rough-hewed in his mind the pillars of a new temple, of which his ambitious spirit seeks to be tbe cap stone. His plan is doubtless to enter with the clans he can unite under his command, into the service of tho United States, and wage war in behalf of the whites and of himself, against those savage tribes who will keep no terms with either. This would have been a doubtful experiment when the Indians were more compact and formidable, and the power of the whites less understood by sue!, tribes as Wild Cat wonld command, but in these days there could be no better policy. Let the Indians, who will do nothing else, do the border fighting, and quell each other, while the whites plant fields and build np settlements in the wilderness they resign. To take the tribes that desire it into regular pay and give them fixed homes and something to do is one step towards better things. rCT-Tbe Swansea Herald gives the following lines, which appear as an epitaph on a bead stone in StMichael's Churchyard, Aberystwith, to tbe memory of David Davies, blacksmith, late of that town: My Sledge and Hammer lay reclined. Mr Hello ws, too. bave lost their wind; My Fire's extinct, my Forpe decayed And in tbe dust my Vice is laid; My Coal I spent, my Iron gone, My Sails are drove my Work ia done." J7-A worthy old farmer residing in the vloinity of Lake Mahonack, was worried to death last summer by boarders. They found fault with his table, and said ba had nothing fit to eat. Darn it," said old Isaao one dav, "what a fuss yon'reTnaking. I can eat anything." "Can vou eat a crow?" said one of the boarders. "Tee I kin eat a crow." "Bet you a hat," said the guest. The bet was made, the crow caught and nicely roasted, but, before serving up, they contrived to season it with a good dose of Scotch snuff. Isaac sat down to the crow He took a good bite and began to chew a war- "Yes I kin eat a crow! (another bite and an awful face,) kin eat crow, but I'll be darned if I hanker arter it."
