A young girl IS or Ia years old, who car
ries out bonnets from Millinery establish
mcnt in fremont Row, had often been fol-
lowed and insulted by q scoundrel in tho
shape of q man, and from he frequent rep
etit,on of these insults, she became afraid

the other night, agreed to follow on behind
her, in order to detect the scoundrel.
Soon after he left her thinking her far
enough to be safe-the same man came up
to her and repeated his insults. Previous
to setting out, she had been provided with
a paper of No. l Red Pepper; and on reach
ing her mothers door--ihe man following
her all the while, she turned and threw the
contents Of the paper in his face. The
scamp was so blinded that he tumbled

something very much like profanity. 1t

MAYHEM, OR CRoPPING.-On Sunday
last, German by the name of Miller, who
lives in this vicinity, came into town, exhi-
biting, with much satisfaction, part of
human EAR, exclaiming Fse mark d him.
and wanted to find magistrate to have it
recorded. On inquiry being made Of him,
he stated that he sus pected man by the
name of Lemon of milking his cows and
watched him. About o'clock in the NOR
ming, he saw Lemon milk two or three cows
belonging to some of our citizens, and af-
terwards commenced milking his, (Miller's.I
He crept cautiously up behind him, and Sc
vered his ear from his head before Lemon
was aware Of his approach. ...-
"You've scratched my ear" said Lemon.
else cot your ear" said Miller; and star
ted off to find magistrate to have the
"mark recorded"
@But," said the gentleman to whom he
was communicating his exploit, $50 you
know the consequences of what you have
done?'
"vy, pc shure he will pc hung as tey toes
in Charmany, ven a man sheals."
No, he will not be hung; but you are
liable to be sent to the penltentlary for what
you have done"
On learning that so far from performing
a meritorious act, he hyd committed penl-
tcntiary offence. he became alarmed, and Of
fered Lemon $50 to settle it; but the latter
demanded $500. Lemon came and procu-
red warrant for Miller; but when the con-
stable went in pursuit of him, he had fled,
and has not yet been taken.
We understand Lemons story is, that his
child being unwell, he went out with tea
cup to get some milk; but not finding his
own COW, commenced milking Mller's;
when he was assaulted as above described.
This statement is made from reports, and
mry not be strictly correct; but we have
no doubt that it is substantially true. We
hope that some mode may be adopted to
keep ignorant and vicious foreigners under
their own barbarous governments; or that
they may be enlightened in their duties,
when living under milder laws.-iSandusky

The YANKEES. Y
Earth knows no spot where we are not
No enterprize by US nnsought,
No science, art or learning.
From interest, we brave earth and sea,
Engage in trade promiscuously,
And set the world turning.
One day at home, the next at Rome,
The third upon the oceans foam,
We seek all climes and nations.
We're Statesmen here and Poets there,
And jacks of all trade everywhere,
To all all sorts of stations.
To day our theme Is how to steam
From state to state our iron team,
That we may travel faster.
Tomorrow, life, of man and wife,
How topreserve amid the strife,
or oceans sad disaster.
We swell the rnge, of this great age,
BY opening duly, some new page
In labor, art and health;
By interest taught, with genius fraught,
We spurn the weak and idle thought,
Which brings not fame or wealth.
Born mid the rocks, the tempest shocks,
And early hardened TO the knocks
OF our own pilgrims land;
Rear'd mid It's schools, learn'd its strict rules,
Skill'd in the service of its tools,
Are all our Yankee band.
First in the field, the last to yield,
Until our nations fate was seald
And freedom told the story;
On Bunkers height in every fight,
Our fathers bed and died for right,
And filrd the world with glory.
Why then should ye, reluctant be
Der this wide empire of the free,
From north, south, east and west
With loud acclaim to sing their fame,
With all their faults, this to proclaim
The Yankees are The best. II.

still going on in the opinion of the people, SO
lar as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER.
al Government, the present Proprietor is about
to embark in the publication of the Liberty
Advocate.
Two years ago, this Journal dated its origin,
at period when, in this County, 1t had many
difficulties to encounter, and the strongest op-
position to contend with. The enduring, and,
as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
have nurtnred and sustained the Journal through
good and through evil report" had then in
the'r infancy, but mere minority which sus-
famed IT. But, the resstess march OF human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about
brighter and fairer dawn; and the philan-
hropist and the patriot can now look in pro-
pective upon the revisit Of those purer days.
which once pointed to the destiny of our much
'eloved country.
The political creed Of the Advocate will DO
he same which it has heretofore advocated
tate Rights and State Sovereignty, will be the
rterial action which shall give life and amin
ton to its political Characteristic, while OK
rcising atenacity for those principles which
I'LL never yield to caprice, the columns Of this
,urnal will, at all times, be open to lloeral
lscussion, and offered as ready channel to the
de of passing events, and an acceptable organ
