In the fall Of 1880 the veteran Daniel,
in company with his brother Edward,
were out in the far wilds Of Kentucky, in
pursuit Of Buffalo. They rested on their
return home at large deer lick near
the bank of creek, and were scarcely
seated when deer walked into the
neighborhood. Edward Boone shot it
down and dragged it into the shade,

STRANGE PHENOMENON.

A "FiSb Story" bit q Fact-A gen.
tleman lately from Washington county
relates that body of water called Cole
Lake in the above county, about 90 miles
in length, 100 yards wide and from Is 10
20 feet in depth, greater part of which
however, is not considered as belonging
to the Lake proper, but is a sort Of la

Lake, upon going 10 the shore obSer rived

many bounding out and Immediately dy-
ing, and others, the larger ones partic

ter, peering their heads above, gasping
as if about to die, and descending sud
denly TO the bottom. The next morning
the Lake for one mile each way was
covered with dead fish, as were also the
adjacent banks.
Such singular phenomenon may be
well calculated 10 turn some minds TO the
Miller prophecies, but various other con>
lectures than that it proceeds the end of
the world, occupy others. The evening
previous to the discovery Of the strange
hydrophobia of the fish, there was in
that vicinity thunder storm; this how
ever subsidized twelve hours too soon to
admit the supposition that discharge of
electricity had paraIyzed the inhabitants
OF this little deep. 1t may be borne in
mind, as we are informed by an inteIIi.
gent gentleman who is acquainted with
the precincts, that the land Immediately
IN this region is alluvial, that for many
years strata Of different sorts of earth
have been laid at every return of high
water, and that some sudden and pow
erIuI shock Of thunder Of the previous
evening may have dis, 'aced q stratu m of
earth and discharged therefrom some
deleterIous gas which infusing itself
through the water, caused death to vast
number of the fnny tribe No matter
though for the cause, we hope we may be
permitted to express our regret at the
loss Of so many valuable lives.

THE INQUIRY.


Tell me, We winged winds
That round my pathway roar,
Do we not kE~w some spot
Where mortals weep no morel
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the West,
Where free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rcst9
The loud wind dwindled to whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered 'Nor
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some Island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he signs,
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies?
The loud waves rolling in perpetual flow,
Stopped for awhile and sighed to answer
MOP
And thou serenest moon,
That with such holy face,
Dost look upon the earth
sleep in nights embrace;
Tell me in all thy round,
Hast though not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Might find happier lot?
Behind cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And a voice sweet, but sad, responded
MOI
Tell me, my sacred soul,
Oh! tell me Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin, and death;
Is there no happy spot
Where mortaIs may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And WEAKNESS a rest2
Faith, Hope, and Love, best boons TO
mortals given,
Wav'd their bright wings, and whispered
eyes, in Heaven!"

SATURDAY, ::AUGUST 20,
HAM. M'RNlGHT, EDITOR,

The instructions forwarded by Mr..
Secretary Webster to our Minister at
Mexico, relative to what reply he should
make to the letters Of Mr.. de Bocanegra,
charging the Government Of the United
States with a violation Of neutrality be-,
tween the two countries, have been loud
Iy and very Justly applauded. This let.
ter Of Mr. Webster has elevated him again
into public confidence, which confidence
he was fast destroying by his tenacious
clinging to Office under tina / arch traitor,
John Tyler. We have almost, after rea.
ding this letter, abandoned our opinion Of
Mr.. WIS being more lover Of office,
than of honor or of country. The letters
Of MIR. de Bocanegra, which were author
lied on the part Of the Mexican Govern
menl, impules violations Of good faith and
honor to the Government Of the United
States, and that from the basest motives,
AL because a few brave hearts, know.
ing the nature of Mexican tyranny, and
instigatod by disposition to reyen &c
the sutlerings Of the Santa Fe prisoners,
have volunteered TO do battle under the
TeXian banner. If the United States
was to countenance this proceeding in
any way, she would be Justly bameabe;
but she has discOmtenanced it as a gov>
eminent, and has published a manifesto
in which she has stated that those who
enlisted under the Texan banner should
forfeit her protection. What more could
she do. Ought she, for tho mere purpose
Of gratifying a nation whose ayowed pol
icy IN recent war movement was TO in"
Jure her interest, TO have stationed armed
sentinels along the shores of the Sabine
and Gulf Of Mexico, to prevent the free
people of this country from emigrating
o Texas, that Gland flowing with milk

he expressed law of this country. The
etters Of the Mexican agent were insuI-
ing, and should have been answered only
in The spirit in which Mr.. w. has direc-
led them to be answered.

LARD OlI-ANALYSIS.

ne following extract is from valuable
lie III thcLouisviilc Journal OH the dscoy-
|arid effects of Lard Oil.
lhis great discovery is one OF the results of
chemical science, and shows, in strong colours.
the utility OF high degree of education, for
which we have SO often commended NJ
Arago, the illustrious French philosopher, has
iorcibly shown that inventors are the real Ben
eiactors of State +; and in proportion as we
give the highest departments Of science TO the
mass oil the people, in that proportion do VIC
secure new inventions and great discoveries
Let the citizen reflect, then, while ENJOYING the
light of the lard oil, that the saving he effects
IN purchasing gallon of it at so cents instead
OF gallon ofsperm oil at $1,75, is one of the
results OF science, and let ii be an incentive to
secure and maintain comprehensive system
OF public instruction. This is but single
item, bnt it alone SHOULD. cause science TO DO
respected.
Checrucl, French chemist, in some inves-
legations upon animal fat, discovered that it
was composed of two principles, to which he
gave the names CLAIM and stedrin, and he found
that they could easily be separated They
are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxy-
gen ana, wherever carbon predominates in
an animal oil, we may be assured of an article
capable OF high degree OF luminous power

which shows that fat may be made artifcially;
on mixing together one measure of carbcnic
acid, ten measures carburretted hydrogen, ard
twenty of hydrogen; and, transmitting the
mixture through red hot tube, several
white crystols were obtained which were in
soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, and fusi-

of lard oil and spermace,i:

upon bibulous paper, which retains the elaine.
By the same process lard oil is obtained, and
winter-strained lard oil will stand the cold
weather just as well as winer-st trained sperm
oil. The success of this discovery is secure
beyond all chance, and the corn and swine Of
kehtucky will prove greater sources Of wealth
