A Tough Story.-sAsI was hunting on,
the banks of the Sarara,' said John Haw-
kins, a sportsman famous for shooting,
both with a long rifle and a long bow, 4
saw a fine buck on the other side of the
river, and blazed away at him. Just as I
drew trigger, a big salmon Ieaped up in
the middle of the stream, right between
me and the deer. After passing through,
him, l found the ball bored into a bee tree,
and the honey was running out in a.
stream as large as a gun barrel. l looked
around for something to plug up the hole
with, but there was nothing at hand but q !"
rabbit. So caught him up and tried to-
jam his tail in the hole, but he struggled
so hard that he made me mad, and | flung
him away SO hard, that | knocked over
three braces of partridges and a woodcock
with him.

GEN. TAYLOR IN PENNsYLvANrA.-The
Philadelphia Inquirer-one of the aHIest
and best informed journals in the State
says:
We have hitherto RETAINED from spec
u'ations as to the result of the Presidential
election in Pennsylvania, W. have no
desire TO deceive our friends by false
hopes, or advance opinions unauthorized
by facts. An insight into a c%orrespon-
dence with all parts of the State, and the
reports of persons of good judgment, who
speak from personal observation, guaran-
tee the belief of the reasonable and the
unprecedented that the Taylor and FIJI
more ticket wM obtain the electoral cote of
State by a large majority"
The Inquirer believes that Van Buren,
will receive $4,000 Locofoco votes in
Pennsylvania, and not more than one
thousand Wing Free Soil votes; and that
Taylor viii obtain a large accession from
rank and file of the Democratic par
ty. I'VE place great faith in the state
ments of the Inquirer, having ever re-
that it is a cool, dispassionate
and sagacious observer.

down the majorities there, and the State

down the ma jorltles there, and the State
is safe.
"The spectacle now, then, that the
Wing party presents, since the coalition of
B%arnburuers and the AhoIitionists, with
Martin Van Buren, (Barnburner) for Pre-
sident, and Charles F. Adams (Abolition-
ist) for Vice President, is as satisfactory
and as united as 10 any exciting canvass,
a Wing could vel desire. W. have lost
all we have to lose,-and how few are
missing, or if missed, many more have
come to take their places. The true
Northern Yankee practical sense is dis
covering its interests and what is patriot
ism, fast. The real issue is Taylor or
Cass. He who reasons we'll, says: "Van
Buren, will have a large number of cleo
tors, but no electoral votes. Shall then
vote upon an abstraction, and throw my
vote away, as did the Birney men in
lS44?" He no. "The best I
a do is to be done, and that is in voting
the Taylor ticket. HCass is elected then
comes the renewed war upon American
industry, the continued Sub. Treasury, the
rabid rampant man made President, who
in France adulated the King and Court of
France to the skies, but who at home is
stimulating his countrymen to all sorts of
wars and aggressions. Peace with the
soldier Taylor. War with the demago-
que Glass; Home industry safe, with
Taylor from vetoes. Power and Patron.
age to oppose me, with Cass, "Buffalo
Hunts as well as Buffalo parties, with
Cass,-no more wars, o conquests, with
Taylor. Cuba and Canada and Cas-
Peace, Prosperity and Probity with Tay-
lor."
"But remember Wings, nothing is to
be done without Work. No man or par
ty deserves success but as it works. Work
is the Law of Life. Victory will have
nothing to do but with Work. Whoever
or whatever will not work must de-
Work alone works out everything success
fully. As well sit down, and expect to
see corn grow, or bread made, when the
corn is grown, or clothes spring sponta-
~neousIy upon your own back and limbs
from the cotton pod or sleeps back, as
expects political triumph unless you work
for it. Work, we repeat, is the law Of
life. He who stands still, goes astern.-
for the world runs on and leaves him be-
hind it."

Trenor, at the advanced age Of eighty. seven
years. lie died on the 9th OF September, at Al
bany. He was, in Ireland merchant of exteu-
sive business and large fortune. He was owner
in whole, or in part, of thirty merchant ships
But he was an ardent lover of liberty and engae-
ed with the Emmetts, McNevins and other irish
patriots, IN the cause Of liberty. He was trea-
surer OF the United Irish Society, and was ar
rested and imprisoned in the Birmingham tower
of Dublin Castle. He escaped to England in one
OF his own ships, and was there arrested and i'm.
prisoned four years. Ruined 10 fortune and with
impaired health, he came to this country. He
established iron works in Vermont, where he re.
sided seventeen years. Since then he has been
in our Custom House. During his forty years
residence In this country, Mr.. Trenor has en-
Ioyed the respect of all who knew him, and the
friendship OF many distinguished citizens, among
whom was the late Governor Clinton.
