Mr. ORGAN, EDITOR:
Sir Il see my name on the Van
Buren, Committee Of Vigilance for Not
tingham township, in the list published in
the last Sentinel. Ionce did, but don't
now, belong to the party who has taken
the liberty to use my name, without my
consent. l am poor man, and am
fully convinced that the measures advo-
Gated by Van Buren, and his friends,
strike a, the root of the prosperity of the
poor, and only benefit the Office holders.
Our produce and labor are reduced one
half, but the wages of office holders are
the same they were a year ago. They
can buy three times the amount Of pro-
duce, with the same money now, that
they could twelve months ago; therefore
l conclude that the love Of fees is their
democracy, instead of the interests of our
beloved country. My voice and vote at
the next election will be for Old Iippe-
canoe, who told the poor soldiers when
he was parting with them after the Indian
war; Gentlemen, if you ever come to
Vincennes, you will always find plate
and knife and fork at my table, and I
assure you that you will never find my
door shut and the string of the latch
pulled in.'' This is the man for me !;
his heart is as big as barn-us poor
men will not suffer under his administra-
ton if elected.
Tell the Sentinel editor to strike my
name from the Nottingham list. also
received an appointment as collector for
the Loco Foco Band. That work de-
cline, LEVI MALLERNEE.

To Prevent Hens from Scratching.-
According to the Boston Cultivator, a
farmer in birmingham says he can pre-.
vent the scratching Of hens in his garden,
and has often done it by simply tieing to-
! gether two of the toes of one foot. Each
foot has three toes and the two outside
ones of one foot are taking up and tied to-
gether over the middle one-thus the hen
cannot scratch with the tied foot when
she stands on the free one, and she can
not stand on the tied one alone and scratch
with the other.
