Boiled Caf.-A few years ago, farmer who
was noted for his waggery, stopped at tavern,
which he was in the habit Of stopping at on his
way from h to Salem.
The landlady had got the pot boiling for din
ner, and the cat was washing her face ia the cor
ner. The traveller, thinking it would be good
joke, took of the pot-lid, and while the landlady
was absent, put grimalkin into the pot with the
potatoes, and then pursued his journey to Salem.
The amazement Of the landladv may well he
conceived, when on taking Up her dinner, she dis
covered the unpalatable addition which was made
to It. Knowing well the disposition OF her GUS
toner, she had no difficulty in fixing on the ag-
gressor, and she determined to be revenged.-
Aware that he would stop on his return home
for cold bite, the cat was carefully dressed
The wag called q was expected. and pussy was
put on the table amongst other cold dishes. but 40
disguised that he did not know his old acquain-
lance.
He made hearty meal, and washed Il down
with glass Of gin. After paying his bin, ne
asked the landlady il she had cat she could give
him, Tor he was plagued almost TO death with
mice. She said she could not, for she had lost
hers. "What!" said he, adoi,'t you know where
she i:9" 30 YES" replied the landlsdy, syou

He wn never known to boil cat Afterwards.

The Richmond Wing is out upon this gentle
man in a most bitter article. He is accused of
never having given single wing vote since his
election to the Senate by that party; but on the
contrary, on several memorable occasions, is
charged with having made himself conspicuous
in defeating wing measures. Now that it is as
certained there will he minority ofwhigs in the
Senate without Mr.. Rives, the great Virginia
Conservative is cast of by the leaders as worth
less appendage, and all because his course, since
leaving the democratic and attaching himself to
the wing party, has been less virulent and vim
dictive than that Of renegades generally. Truly,
the way of the transgressor is hard. Mr.. Rives,
at one period, stood higher with the democracy.
and had better prospects Of attaining the Presi-
deacy, than any other man Of his age in the Uni

unsullied character, made him the idol of the
party, and left his ultimate elevation to the high

doubt But he could bide his time. The hon

Ohie safe for tho Democracy.

The wing papers in this State let on to be
greatly rejoiced at the result of the recent elec-
tons in Ohio; but it seems they have been count
ing their chickens before they are hatched.--
Agreeably to law, the Governor and Secretary Of
State, together with the Auditor and Treasurer
of State, met in the Senate Chamber on the 9th
inst, and proceeded to open the Poll Books Of
the election returns for Congress, a. returned to
the Office Of the Secretary Of State. The last
Ohio Statesman contains the official vote Of all
the counties composing Ne twenty lone Con-
gressional districts in this State, which show, in
the aggregate, a clear democratic majority Of
SIX THOUSAND AND EIGHTY SEVEN--

have extracted the following abstract from the

The season for the commencement of slaurh-
tering is at hand, and small lots begin to come in.
The price paid, we learn upon inquiry, is 81,
which will probably govern the market during
the season. Along the Ohio, Wabash, &C.
they give 81 25 to 81 75s but dealers can do this
and still realize as much profit from their pork As
our packers do WHEN paying -, in consequence
Of the cheapness at which they are enabled to
procure salt, barrels, &c. and the larger size Of
their pork. AT Chicago 81 IS is paid for large
hogs.
We have before us circula, from Mr.. George
K. Bsdd, and extensive produce dealer in st.
Louis, on the subject Of curing pork, beef and
lard, which We design publishing at length in our

The National Intellgencer publishes letter
from Michigan. dated Oct. "a, which says: cat

the effect Of the decision Of the Supreme Court Of

We find the following in the Iowa Capital Re-
porter Of the 18th inst
We understand Eat several Of our citizens let
this place for the East, on Monday the 9Th inst,
with company Of Sank and Fox Indians. II IS
their intention we learn, 10 visit Washington and
hold talk with the President concerning their
late payment Much dissatisfaction prevailed
among the Indians, with the manner in which the
late annuity was paid, and Much-in-a -cun,-e-cut
or Bad News, chief Of Powesheiks band has &C.
companied the party for the purpose OF stating
their grievances II head quarters.
Whether Or not il Be true that dissatisfaction
prevails among the Indians a 10 the manner in
which tie late annuity was paid, the conduct Of
the government agents in The matter cannot, we
think, be regarded Is meriting public censme.--
The payment was not made At the time first APP
pointed, i Is true; but the Indians themselves, in
permitting their conduct to be influenced by inter
ested persons, are responsible for its defeat. The
Agent, in pursuance ofnotice given to the lndi-
ans to assemble, met them at Fort Raccoon, with
the money, and announced his readiness to make
the payment; but instead Of coming forward to
receive their money the Indians engaged in the
exercise Of ball playing and would not come near
him. For two days they continued to employ
themselves in tAis way, resisting all efforts 10 in
duce them to assemble and permit the payment
10 go On, aad setting the threat Of the Agent to
return with the money to the Old Agency at ut
Ter dekance-conduct believed TO have been in
stigssed by certain whites on the ground, who
were interested in postponing the payment. Al
the expiration ofthe period mentioned, the Agent,
finding it impossible to do anything, left, and Of
course took with him the money; and thus ended
the first attempt to distribute among the Indians
their arm titles A second effort, made some
two or three weeks subsequently,, was attended
with less difficulty, and the payment was made.
possible that one ground of dissatisfaction,
if any exists, arises from the fact that the money
was paid to the chiefs, and not, as last year, to
the heads Of families; but in this, If ssch Is the
case, as in the failure Of the first payment, the
Indians have themselves to blame. It was 81
made, we have it from good authority, at theil
own special request, even Hsrifsh and his party
who formerly advocated the mode Of paymen,
adopted last year, joining in the request II j.
the custom Of the government to disburse the an
nuities to the Indians in such manner as may b
most agreeable to the nation; and the expression
we are assured, at the late payment, was mos
decided in favor Of the mode adopted.

Il Is amusing to notice the reluctance with
which the wing papers permit themselves 70 an
nounce democratic victory, q the same time
acknowledging il to have besn achieved BY the
democracy Of numbers" Persons not CONVEX
SAINT with the facts would be led to believe that
the wings never suffer defeat except BY the STRAIT
egy Of their opponents or their own supineness.
They are never fairly whipped, and can account
for the greatest disasters that befal them in way
most satisfactory to themselves at least, il not
10 Others Thus the last Hawkeye, from having
heard unfavorable news from Michigan, or fear
ing an adverse result, Says Gin Michigan the
loco foco gerrymander has been too industriously
At work for the wings to make much headway.''
Now the returns from Michigan are to Be found
in another column, and we think il viii puzzle
the ingenuity Of our contemporary to show the re-
| suit to have been affected in anywise whatever
BY that great first cause Of al wing discom6tuers
---ssthc gerrymander." Has injustice been done
to the wings in the arrangement Of the congress
sional districts? II cannot be contended that
such j. the case, for the returns show cpcrs
ty IN the State heard .from-all but ten--to hare
giren ~ajori!its to the democratic caadidatss II
is apparent, therefore, that a more difficult task
than that Of forming wing congressional district
in Michigan could not be conceived Of The
same is true of the State Legislature, which is al
most unanimously democratic--no arrangement
Of districts could be made which would give the
wings more members than they have. 1t viii
hardly be commended, We suppose, that the gerry
mander-that s'gorgon and hydra dire"-could
influence the popular vote for Governor, which
shows the democratic majority in the Peninsula
State to be larger thar that Of any other State in
the Union in proportion to her number Of votes.

needed than the one you have given.
