feeding occasionally on heads OF rye, q
quantity Of which he always keeps on

that the heads and chaff ofthe rye seem to

that ifa horse every day be fed with rye
heads, he will never be annoyed with bots.
The rye may be fed in sheaf. 1t operates
as preventative rather than as cure.
We hope soon to hear of its being more

BY john Tyler, the candidate Of the Federal
Wing Bank party for the Vice Presidency:
~For one, enter my protest against the
banking system, as conducted in this country
Ia system not to be supported by any correct
principles Of political econcmy-a gross delu-
sion-a dream Of visionary system which
has done more IL corrupt the morals Of society
than any thing else; which has introduced a
struggle for wealth, instead of that honorable
struggle which governs the actions ct pat
riot, and makes ambition virtue; which has
made the husbandlnan sparn his cottage, and
introduced a system at variance with the SIM
plicity of our institutions. If this be true
and appeal to the knowledge of all men Tor
its TRUTH demand to know if you can put
down The system too soon? Can we too soon
escape the danger with which we are surround
ed! Our revenue amounts to upwards OF $2O,-
600 900 annually. Require fourth, or even
a sixth to be paid in gold and silver, what
would be the effectl The merchant wouio
collect the notes Of banks, and demand the
specie for them; and thus test would be adopt
ed by means of which to ascertain the soven-
CIV of each institution. The system might be
enlarged gradually until your wishes shall be
consuinmsted.

RIDICULOUS LEGISLATION

Since the Legislature of Ohio have been
IN session, they have attended to almost
every kind OF business but that for which
they have been elected and paid from the
taxes the people. The House, we under.
stand, has been for some time investigating
wheter one of its members at certain
time in his life cheated tavern keeper in
Cleveland-and, after meddlng itself in af-
fairs with which it had no concern, received
a rebuke from man named Thompson,
which it richly deserved. lie forwarded
petition, praying that the Cashiers of the
banks should be prevented, BY law, from
using sponge to wet their fingers, when
counting bank bills, and that the old habit
Of splitting on them should be continued in
practice. The members, in place of silent.
ly passing by his merited stroke of ridlcuIe
on their past folly, rendered themselves
still more ridiculous by making the petition
of Thompson subject Of grave and angry
debate. At one time they resol, ed to send
the Sergeont-at-arms after the petitioner,
and again revoked their decision. Thus
they trife away their time--neglect the
business Of the pcople--and disgrace the
character Of the State. II they were paid
from the pockets Of the party who elected
them, it would be of little consequence,
but the mischief fit is, those who are NJ
way to blame for selecting such mass
Of legislative stupidity and folly are bur.
thened with the bupporf Of H. Xifrnau.

INDIAN ANEcDoTE.-The following spe
cimen of Indian wit related to me few
evenings since, is too good to be lost.
One Of the Indians who formerly inhabi-
ted the shares Of Robbins pond in this
country, beng out upon a hunting excur-
sion, Glanced to pass the house Of Mr..
W, who was engaged in feeding a
large flock of turkles near the house. Sam
the Indian, feeling very thirsty, went up to
Mr.. w. and asked for some cider, who told
him to go into the house and his wife would
draw him mug full. Sam, In going to the
house, tnuttered to himself, but loud enough
for Mr.. w. to heur show ! should like to
have one shot al them.' Mr.. w. who was
fond of joke, took the gun which Sam had
left at the door and drew the shot from it.
"Well, SAM" said Mr.. w. 'you should
like to have shot at my turkies, what will
you give me for shotp 'Sam after some
hesitation agreed to give a dollar. Every
thing being ready Sam evelled his gun and
fired; and as might be expected, the tu kles
were more frightened than hurt. Sam
stood mute with astonishment, and flingins
his gun across his shoulder, said Sam me-
yer made such shot as that before and
walked off.
1t WAS about two weeks from the time
Sam made his unlucky shot that he again
called on Mr.. w. for more cider; who
thinking to get another Joke upon him, sent
him into The house for the cider and again
drew his shot from his gun which was left
