Farmers have commenced cutting their wheat in
this part of the Territory The winter wheat as is
known was generally killed in tins section but all

sword used by Daniel Boone, in his many
battles with the Indians, in Ohio and Ken

only sword in Kentucky; at the battle OF

the same sword which her husband had
borrowed from Daniel Boone Galena

Professor Olmstead, of Yale College says
he has no doubt that the wires of telegraph
have nm effect on electricity. "As the
storm comes up, and especially when over
the Wires. say fifty or hundred miles dis
lant, the lightning is attracted by the wires,
which can be proved by any one remaining
in the telegraph office for half an hour
About the time the storm is coming up the
wires are continually filled with electricity.
Ii is my opinion we shall never have very
heavy thunder showers or hear of lightning,
striking, as long as we have telegraph wires,
spread over the earth

who was probably for the first time in his
life, in railroad car, and who held on to
his seat with both hands, from the moment
the cars left Hartford, looking as though he
expected every moment to be shook out OF
the window, suddenly stepped out on the
platform, and took rapid look at the loco
motive. ANY thing the natter" inquired
a wag who had greatly enjoyed the coun-

Andrew Jackson recommended repeatedly
the limitations Of the office of President to
one Term, urging it as an additional safeguard
to our liberties. James X. Polk stands pledg-
ed to the democracy of the United States in
favor of the one term system. The demo-
cratic convention of this Legislative district,
one year ago, unanimously adopted resolu-
tion to establish the one term system in this
Congressional district, and, in practice this
legislative district, has invariably adhered
to the one term system since its formation.--
So much for precedent.
Finally, in view of the fact that hundreds
of good democrats have now an interest IN

ing our county officers two years ago, it is
injustice to force upon them for two years to
come officers when they had no agency in
