DIED-At Charlotte village, on the goth
Septemberla last, Col. DANIEL BOON, the first
settler of Kentucky, in the 90th year of his age.
He was native of Bucks county, Pennsylva-
mia; he leftthat state at eighteen years old,
and settled in North Carolina. He was one of
the few men of our country whose enterprise
led him to search into the wilderness for the
best tracts ofland for man to inhabit AS early
as the year 1775, he removed with his family
and settled on the Kentucky river, with the
loss of his eldest son, killed by the indians) at
a plain now called Boonborough, then an IN
dian country, where he remained until the year
1899. During this period of time, although
most of his life had been spent in agricultural
pursuits, and he had been Frequently honored
by his countrvmen as member OF The Virginia
Legislature, and lived at the close Of the revo-
lutionary war in peace and plenty, yet such
was his delight in hunting, such his devoted
ness to it. that in the year 1879, with numer-

Take as much lime as is usual in

A little lamp black, yellow ochre or
other coloring commodity, may be intro

The above cement has been used with
great success in France, and in this coun-

a protection against fire. 1t becomes

IHtt2de3Hhtd, Try. y.
On Saturday evening last, a young
Physician oil this city, was called to see
a woman in iow circumstances, who had
large family of children, her husband
being also sick. In fit of insanity or
despair, she had swallowed a large guam
thy of iandanum. When the Doctor
arrived, he attempted to administer an
emetic, but she resolutely cleachel her
teeth, and refused all assStance-Ge
then procured an iron spoon, and with
such eXertion forced open her mouth,
occasioning her the loss Of two upper
and Two lower teeth, owing to her ex-
traordinary resistance. The emctic was
then poured down, and was Immediately
spurted back into the Doctors face.
Death and the Doctor" were then fair
ly at issue: but the odds were on the side
OF Death, who was so stoutly backed by
the patient. But Cur young Esculapius
was not to be thus deprived o. his ic,o-
~. Hastily wiring his face, he posted
off with all the speed to the nearest
druggist, where he procured long
elastic tube and a syringe.
Thus armed, he quickly returned,
having in his rctinuc the druggist, and
two stout black men whom lie engaged
for the approaching conflict. Madam
was Immediately laid ON her beck on the
floor sans ceremonie, her head and limbs
being well secured; and refusing 70 let
the tube be passed through her mouth,
our courageous Doctor inserted it into
her nose, and passed it through TIE orr
flee in the roof of the mouth, quite into
the stomach; and with his syringe,
quickly pumped Ont the contents CT her
stomach. The laudanum thus pumped
out, was estimated at t7vo ounces. Ii
was by such persoHering exer.ions, that
this humane and skilful young Physician,
saved feIlow-being from destruction.
She is quite recovered.

La7o CQae.--It has been determined,

wagon having in it man and his wife
with travelling trunk, is an ENTITY

meaning Of the charter old, Hartford

which grants toll of 81 cents for emp

the man and wife are one nesh,'
the Justice decided tightly: for the law
could never have contemplated wagon
passing with one person as a driver.
If she was good wife, and the trunk had
plenty ofcash in it, they must have light
ened the cares q the husbands Journey,
