When he was told that the duty on wool was
so low that it would cause the destruction OF
all the sheep in the country, he answered that

to this, when they reflect that The last crop
of wool brought the farmers % millions Of
dollars? And the President is perfectly vii
ling that all this branch OF agriculture shall
be sacrificed, that the southerns may sell a
few more bales of cotton! But this may not
be so surprising when they remember that
the President is a large cotton planter him
self, and a great proprietor OF lands adapted
to the cultivation of cotton. He is truly. "A
southern man with southern feelings"-and
has no fellowship with the Tariff states.

which say that he has had an attack of the
Cholera, from which he has recovered, and

DRAM DRINKING-THE CHOLERA.
Those who are in the habit of INDUCING in
the above practice, need not be alarmed at
the manner in which the so much dreaded
disease, now arrived on our continent, is cou-
pied with it. Nor need they apprehend that
we mean to raise our voice against the con
t~inuance of the stimulus by those who have
been daily in the custom Of taking am anti

productive of the very effects which It was

in a new and most pleasant and heaIthiul
manner. Let the s%aorter, we believe that is

A. French paper states that a short time
since an inhabitant of st. Omer wishing TO
destroy a dog which was getting too old, took
| il to the river, tied a stone to its neck with a
string, threw it in, and walked away imme.
| diately. As he WAS going home, he found
that he bad lost a pocket handkerchief. AS
he was returning towards the spot where he
had thrown in the dog, he met the animal
running with the handkerchief in bis mouth.
II appears that the stone had slipped and CIV
en- him a respite, when, finding the handker
chief but not his master, it ran with il to
seek him, and manifested such Joy on pre-
seallng it to him as occasioned sharp feelings
of remorse for the attempt on the life Of the
faithful servant.
