on the 5th Of November last,at which Mr. Weller
figured 50 largely, Resolution was passed decIa-
ring thas the Demoefatic party was in favor of

AVETERAN CARRIER ARCHIBALD WooD.
RUFF, JT., the we'll known and faithful Carrier OF
the Cincinnati Gazette. has been employed in
that vocation since the 10th Of January, lS37.-
During this period. with the exception Of about
months, he has regularly delivered the paper to
part OF our city subscribers, in all kinds Of
weather, in "lightning, storm and rain," usually
beginning his route two hours before daylight
For the first four years. his daily morning route
was l2A mes-as the circulation OF the Gazette
and his distance reduced to miles each morning,
10 which space he had many papers to deliver,
- could be accomplished in season.
In these daily news-dspensing walks, ARcHr
has travelled upwards Of 10000 miles, nearly e
quail to the circumference of the globe. His 9th.
or pedestrian achiev ements worthy Of note.
His first exploit was walking from Philadeph
TO Pittsburgh, about twenty five years since,
where no took the iuxuries Of Fla. Boat voyage
to Marietta. He then walked 10 TarIeton in
in Pickavay Co., and returned to Philadelphia,
500 miles. He started on foot moro for
Pittsburgh. thence on q Fiat Boat to Marietta,
where he got out, and made long circultous
route through Ohio to Cincinnati He then walk
ed back to Philadelphia, GOO miles; and took ship
for Savaaah. He went into South Carolina, and
after some perambulations amongst the Nuifiers,
he walked from Beaufort, S. c., TO Cincinnati,
700 miles. From this city. he afterwards walk
ed to Augusta, Ga. 700 miles and back. He has
| also walked across this State, from Cincinnati TO
Sandusky and other places on Lake Erie three
sHa Sss :4s ssm bSssIas
| miles. In all his travels, he has never met with
but one serious accident, and that was falling
through tho ice on the Scioto River bu, as he ia
| faithful soldier in the Cold Water army he re.
ceived no great damage.
He will now suspend his Iabors for few weeks,
| and make . trip to New Orleans for recreation
and business. We hope he will return with re-
| newed strength, and resume his Carriers labors
on the Gazette, till he has walked far enough at
least, to complete the circumference Of the globe.

MORTALITY AMONG SnEEp.--The Reporter a.
Washington, (Pa.) mentions that a great many,
sheep have died in that vicinity during the past
winter, which is attributed to various causes
Some think the worm in the head is the cause
one gentleman, it is said, having lest good ma
ny sheep, made dissection Of the heads, and found
, in one as many as forty worms. Others think
that the long and severe winter, and the conse-
quent scarcity of provender is the true cause of
the mortality.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th says: Our
Banks are doing nothing but receiving and pay
ing deposits, and renewing notes.-the sluggish
remainder Of their discount lines. The circula-
ton is made up Of Indiana notes, and those Of q
