which wint two days before his death, and
then you'd had the postage TO pay. | am
at agreat lass to tell what his death was oc-
casioned by, bnt fear it was by hrs last
sickness. He never was well in tin days
together the whole time of his confinement
but be that as il will, as soon as he had
brathed his last, the dochter Civ up all hopes
of his recovery. | needn't tell We any thing
about his age, for you know that in May
next he would have bin twenty-five years

til that time he would have bin sax months

it devoves upon his next kin, who is dead

Anecdo.e of Gen. jackson.

The late Major Gibbon was collector Of
the port of southern city, to which Office
he had been appointed by The elder Adams.
OF course the Major was a Federaisl and
one of Gen. Jackson's political opponents.
During the struggle Of the American Col
onles for Independence, Major G. had dis.
llngnshed himself on several occasions
He had commanded forIorn hope under
Mad Anthony, at Stony Point. After the
Inauguration of jackson as President the
Malor, who was as bitter a politician as he
hal been gallant as a soldier, in an excited
discussion about politics, declared that Old
Hickory was consummate scoundrell-
The speech was promptly reported to the
President, by one of his friends, who sup,
posed vacancy wonId be certain. well,
what of IL! was Jackson's reply. The
man wao commanded a foriOrn hope of An.

hope, Mr.. Speaker, the day is not far
distant when we shall excel the beef rails

who means to be farmer in good earn
est will have the pure blooded Herefords,
Durhams, Deyonshlres and Ayreshlres to
grace his farm. Then instead of going to
England and France TO purchase Cattle
and sheep at great prices, we shall have
some of the same sort to sell, and perhaps
few to give away Encourage your own
farmers to grealer efforts IN obtaining such
kind of stock, as shall benefit the farm
ing interest Of the State. and my word for
it, you will be hailed as benefactors. With
your assistance the State Society now or
ganized will live and prosper-lf you re-

To Larry O'TlaIIigan
Davy Smiths stratagem.

David Smith a retired colored oyster
man, had scraped together a sufficiency of
funds to buy lot Of ground in Lombard
Street, above Twelfth. Being an ingenious
old darkey-thIs Davy Smith-and intend
ing TO build a house on the lot he had pur-
chased, he contrived little speculation,
winch he thought would put few dollars
into his fob, and help to pay the expenses
of his new building. The old black rogue
secretly inserted few antique Spanish
quarters in the ground, little below the
surface, and the ney day, while tampering
with a spade about the premises, in the
presence Of several Of his African neigh
bors, he pretended to dig up some OF the
hidden treasure. Immediately, it was re-
ported about the neighborhood that Black
boards money, or some other fellows, was
buried in old Dave Smiths lot. Dave made
his appearance, to answer inquiries on this
subject, with his arm in a Slug; he made
tnIl confirmation Of the report, remarkng
that he had hurt his hand and was unable
to dig, but he was ready to grant digging
permits 10 as many cOIored persons as
would choose to undertake the wnrk-each
t" pay the willy David one Collar for the
prlviiege--ihe finder to have all the money
he should dig up. Ten abIe-bodied color
ed men joyfulIy accepted these terms, and
went to work with the energy of California
gold hunters, making the dirt hy as it does
when the ground is raked by cannon ball.
Old Davy stood by to encourage them, ex-
claiming once IN awhile" Steam uD dark
ies--shove away! Haw, haw, haw how de
nggas am a,going it You'll come to de
money bime-bye!" &c. After about two
hours and IA half, the industrious fellows
had eXcavated a square hole, six feet deep,
and long and wide enough for Davy's pur-
pose Dat will do, niggers; haw, haw,
haw + cried old Davy-' Some people hab
to spend money to CT dare cellars dug, but
hab mine done for muffin, and git paid ten
dollars for lowing de niggers to do it,
Finding they had been SwindItd, the mon
ey dlggers fell on David, pitched him into
the hole, and began to cover him up with
as much activity as they had just shown in
throwing out the dirt. A policeman hap
pened to pass, when nothing but the old
sinners woolly top-knot was visible, and
although the officer used all possible speed
in getting him out, David's immortal spirit
had nearly gone the long voyage before he
could be released from his unpleasant pre-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
