The Arrest of Gen. Scott.

The nation has been excited by the news
that Gen. Scott, the hero of the most bril-
liant victories that will adorn the pages of
our history, has been arrested while at the
head of his victorious army in the capital
of the enemy's country, to be subjected TO
the ignominy of Court Martial There
was wanting but this to arouse the hearts of
the people against this wicked and corrupt
Administration. That Gen. Scott, the vet
eran hero of Chippewa, Lundy's Lane, Vera
Cruz, Cerro Gordo and of Mexico, has done
aught meriting punishment or censure, no
one can with truth affirm. His arrest upon
the field of his splendid achievements is the
browning act of series of prosecutions from
Polk s Co., to which Gen. Scott has been
subjected since the commencement of this
unrighteous war. His only crime is that he
is Wing and stands IN the way of the un-
holy schemes of the Administration. Mr.
Polk and his advisers at the last session of
Congress failed TO overslaugh Scott by the
creation of the Office of Lieut.. General
Now, growing bold in wickedness, they
have dared 10 accomplish their object by
arresting and dragging before petty tribu-
nal, the greatest hero and chiefiain of his
country. This act has filed up the measure
of tins Administration wickedness, and
has sealed their destruction. The shaft
aimed at Gen. Scott will rebound with fatal
effect upon those who directed it.-Pitts-

Plaques of the south.


There are two insects in the prairie re-
gions of south Missouri and Illinois, that
have great deal of influence on the happi-
ness of men and brutes in those regions
TIL sc, have never seen description of,
either in newspapers or in books. 1t is
natural to feel contempt for the produc-
tons of our own country; all curiosities
must come from abroad.
After warm shower in May or June,
on almost every weed or bush, you see
something resembling spittle or foam around
the stem~ The fermentation natures fly
of green color, as large perhaps as three
horse flies. These take possession of the
prairies in countless myriads. As soon as
the sun becomes warm, they attack herds Of
cattle and horses with such voracity, that
they are compelled to fly, pursued by swarms
of their tormentors, the blood dropping from
their necks, sides and TANKS. No animal
or insect has so great relish for blood as
these flies. If cut in two they continue to
suck blood, which falls in drops from the
upper part of the body after the lower part
is gone. Some seasons are more favorable
to their increase than others. Travellers
are compelled journey in the night-plow-
men must pillow in the night. They torment
oxen and horses so that it is impossible to
govern them in the yoke or harness. They
fall on the ground and wallow in their
pain. When they become intolerable on
the prairies where cattle are feeding, the
entire herd moved by one impulse, rush to-
ward the cow-yard, or place where they have
been accustomed to assemble. Here nature
provides them with an avenger. An insect
resembling in shape wasp, but thicker and
heavier in body, examines the cattle, catches
the green-head fly whilst enjoying his bloody
feast, and carries him off in an instant; kills
him and buries him in the ground, and is
back in twinkling to hunt more game
The green headed blood suckers know their
enemies, and begin to leave in swarms as
the buzzing of the guard fly betokens an in
crease of their Numbers. After an hour or
so, the herd become quiet, the last green
head either escaping to the prairies or is
carried in to the underground pantry of the
guard fly. As the country, settles these
insects diminish in numbers. They have
been formidable enemies to the settlement
and cultivation of the country.

Highly Important News from the sonth

The following extract Of letter is from very
respectable mercantile house, dated

MAY 20, 1876.
Dr. ID. Jayne,-Dear Sr,--Our Mr.. Jones has
been in a very low state Of health for more thans
year; he has had the benefit of the best medical
advice our country affords, and also visited your
city during last summer, but found no relief. on
the 18th Of April last, we purchased hall dozen
bottles Of your Tonic Vermifuge, and hall doz-
en- boxes of Sanaiiye Pills. Through carelessness
in packing the articles in dry goods box, one
half the Nermifuge was broken. MIR. Jones COM
menced with the Pills, and after taking lew
doses, felt decided improvement. The thfee
bottles of Vermifuge, which came safe to hahu,
brought from him, he thinks, not less inan one
thousand worms, and perhaps mary more ne =
now in better health than he has been tor ears
and we hope a few more bottles OF yonr sefnl, :,
fuge and Pills will effect permanent cure. AI
our physicians have entirely mistaken hls cases
Prof. Samuel jackson, Of your city al 'he mead
Mr.. Jones Is most anxious TO get more OF your
pills and yermifure. as soon as possible.

EMULATING THE HANGNAN.-When Bal
four was executed in Dundee, the writer of
this tract was a mere boy, residing a con-
siderable distance from town. He distinct
ly recollects that only one respectable man
in the district went TO see the execution
When he returned a great anxiety was man
ifested both by young and old to hear a de
scription of the engine OF. death, and the
awful spectacle of an execution. What in
fiuence did the relation of the facts have on
the young, On the following day groups
of boys might have been seen erecting imi-
tatiOn scafiolds and suspending thereon kit
tens and Sparrows. On the duy after Mark
Devlin's execution in Dundee, number of
BOYS in Hilltnwn. commenced in shed to
initiate the hangmans and, if it had not
been for the timely arrival of the father of
one of the boys, in few moments more his
son would have been a corpse. (Remarks
on death punishments.) During the Reign
of Terror, toy-guillotines, for destroying
mice or rats were common enough among
the boys of Paris.

NAUGATUcK, Conn, Sept. 80, 1916.
90 am using your Alternative, with good effect
for a Scrofulous affection under which | have
been suffering for the last ten years. And after
describing her situation, and asking for further
advice, goes on TO say" We have used great
deal of your medicines in my fathers family, and
have known them 10 make great cures. About
five years since, my brother was very sick with
what was supposed to be Consumption The
best physician IN the place was called in, 1--WE
were then in Cabotvie, Mass and he came
do not know just how long, but for great many
days, and brought with him other physicians
but still he grew worse. They at last gave him
over, said they could do nothing more for him
that he must die. We watched over him hour
after hour, expecting that every breath would be
his last At length one night gent man called
to see him, and spoke of DIR. Jayne's Expectorant;
said that he thought mat he was too far gone to
live, but that there could be no harm in trying it.
The same night we sent TO Springfield and OBJ
tanned bottle,s and commenced giving il to him,
with but little hopes Of its having any effect His
physician called next day at his usual hour, and
the moment he entered the room pronounced HIM
better. We sent for mere of the Expectoran,
and gave him that and nothing else until he was
entirely cured. He took twenty-seven bottles,
and his health has been better since than IT was
before his sickness. He is now in Hopkinsyille,
Ky, attending to his business.
